If they didn't bury the gunpowder before Selena arrived at the bear's den, all their efforts would be wasted.
Thomas stared at Diana with icy eyes, "Miss Barrett, the Union University aircraft should be here soon. I don't think you want to seek death at this time!"
Miss Barrett replied with a cold smile.
They wouldn't dare to let her accompany Selena to her death, even if Selena died. The most important thing was that she made the gunpowder, which meant that she would ultimately get credit for it. Even if someone among the military academy students managed to survive and talk outside, this "life-saving grace" would be enough to redeem her reputation.
Richard held onto Hattie, and the military academy students worked together. The boys were wary of danger around them, while Yasmin and Jessica were like two door gods, staring at Diana with unblinking eyes to prevent her from sabotaging their plan.
Diana was furious at being watched and tried to find an excuse to start a fight several times, but Yasmin and Jessica didn't give her any opportunity.
Diana could only work on making gunpowder, feeling both resentful and angry.
Once the gunpowder was made, the military academy students wasted no time and quickly rushed towards the bear's den. Diana sneered and followed them.
The other three mechanics from the institute didn't stay behind either and had to follow the rest of the group.
Finding the bear's hibernation den wasn't difficult. The military academy students buried the gunpowder around the cave and set up traps before waiting around in hiding.
This was undoubtedly a tough night. Everyone was exhausted, and Richard and Thomas' wounds opened up several times. If they didn't seek medical treatment soon, they might suffer from long-term consequences.
But the most worrying thing was Selena and Fraser, who had led the biggest danger away. The military academy students dared not imagine what might happen to Selena and Fraser during these three hours in the perilous forest.
Hattie crouched in the grass, her hands and feet cold, her dark eyes constantly watching for any movement around her. Whenever there was the slightest disturbance, she anxiously looked over.
Yasmin reassured her in a cold tone, "Fraser is the best individual soldier at Union University. With him there, your sister will be safe."
Hattie turned to look at the girl next to her, whose expression was cold but whose heart was as warm as a burning flame. She recalled Yasmin almost dying to save her from the bear's paw, and finally understood why Selena brought her here.
She had encountered many wicked and cold-hearted people and things.
But in this world, there are a group of people who can give their lives for strangers without regret.
Only they are qualified to represent this world.
Hattie whispered, "Thank you, Yasmin."
Yasmin saw that the little girl seemed a bit sad, and awkwardly raised her hand to rub her hair. "You have a great sister," she said, thinking for a moment before adding, "My sister is great too."
Hattie looked up at her, and her jet-black eyes were cold but bright in the moonlight. "Matilda is just as powerful and amazing as Selena!"
A proud smile appeared on Yasmin's normally indifferent face. "When I graduate, I want to be like my sister!"
Hattie nodded heavily. "Yeah! When I grow up, I want to be like my sister too!"
Just as the two girls finished boasting about their sisters and setting the same goal, there was suddenly a loud commotion in the dark forest.
Everyone became alert and looked over with sharp eyes.
When they saw the approaching figure, Hattie and the cadets breathed a sigh of relief.
Diana, however, clenched her fists in anger.
She had hoped that the bear had already torn Selena apart.
