Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 383

Her hand had gone numb from the biting cold wind, yet when she heard Kallum's voice, she managed to type out: I'm not scared. You shouldn't be either!

A pang of sorrow abruptly struck Kallum's heart. He pursed his lips tightly to maintain his composure.

The sky had turned dark, rendering everything invisible. Aside from the faint glow of the phone, the surrounding was engulfed in pitch black. The ledge beneath held the threat of a fatal fall should it give way.

How could she possibly not be scared?

How could he possibly not be scared?

Fearing that his own apprehension would affect Calista, Kallum took a deep breath and said with an exceptionally resolute tone, “Callie, you'll be all right!” He forced himself to laugh a bit, his tone light and breezy. “I'm right below you. We're very close. Trust me!”

Even though the words were meant to be light-hearted, they somehow choked up the more sensitive listeners, leaving them feeling overwhelmed.

This man, who was previously so nervous that he couldn't articulate his thoughts properly, was now feigning composure so as not to frighten the girl.

At that moment, they all wished for the man to find the girl swiftly. They desperately hoped that she would be all right.

The altitude of Narrow Sky Gorge was high, so even though Calista was only a dozen or so meters away from them, using wave measurement to pinpoint her exact location still took time. Kallum was anxious, his heart burning with worry. Had it not been for the strong winds in the gorge preventing the drone from taking off, he wouldn't have been so concerned.

Calista couldn't help but let out a soft gasp. She distinctly felt the boulder beneath her feet slip.

The surface, originally flat, had started to tilt slightly downward. Her heart felt as if it was about to leap out of her chest. Yet, her mind had never been so clear.

After she steadied herself, she suddenly typed out: I have a way for you to find me.

Kallum felt something was off. If Calista had a solution, she wouldn't have waited until now to speak up. Nonetheless, he still asked, “What's your plan?”

Swallowing nervously, Calista slowly rose to her feet, pressing her back against the cliff face. She took a deep breath before replying: Before, I was afraid to use the gun as the slightest noise could cause the rocks to tumble down. But now, the rocks have already started to loosen! I don't have much time left... Set the acoustic sensor to receive mode. I'm about to fire the gun!

“No!” Kallum said urgently. “Given your current state, firing a gun will only hasten the loosening of the rocks!”

Calista: There's no faster method than this.

Kallum was distraught. He instructed someone to switch the acoustic sensor to receiving mode, then said fervently, “There must be another way. There has to be!”

Calista: Kallum!

Kallum's gaze hardened.
