Mike couldn't help but be intimidated by Natasha's aura.
She appeared laid back and calm, but in crucial situations, she always caught people off guard and impressed them.
Mike narrowed his eyes. As if influenced by Natasha, he turned around and looked behind him. “That's right. Since they insist on coming, we will make sure they won't be able to return!”
He held his gun and prepared for the incoming attack.
They were going to kill everyone who came out of the forest.
Natasha looked into the distance, vigilant and on guard.
Right then, there was movement in the forest again.
Mike was about to start shooting when Natasha said, “Save your bullets. Let's wait until they come out of the forest.”
Upon hearing that, Mike nodded.
And so, they continued staring at the trees.
The noise in the forest grew louder, causing Mike to grip his gun tightly as he waited for the opportunity to start shooting.
The sky gradually lit up, and their vision became clearer. Mike's gaze was fixed on the forest, as he still didn't know the number of incoming enemies or their weapons.
However, he was ready to fight them till the end, no matter what.
At that moment, his sharp eyes immediately caught movement in the forest as a figure emerged. He quickly aimed his gun at the person.
Suddenly, the person shouted, “If you fire again, don't blame me for not showing mercy!”
Mike was momentarily stunned upon hearing the voice.
Why does it sound so familiar?
He stared into the distance, but he couldn't see the person's face clearly.
However, he recognized the person's gait.
“Luke?” he muttered to himself.
“What's wrong?” Natasha asked.
“It seems like Luke...” Mike replied.
Upon hearing that, Natasha glanced at the person.
“Luke, is that you?” Mike yelled.
“Mike?” the other person shouted back.
Mike was ecstatic. He glanced at Natasha and exclaimed, “It's Luke! It's really him!”
Natasha was still unsure since they didn't know whether Luke was with Dave.
“Natasha, I'll go take a look!” Mike stated.
Natasha nodded, and Mike quickly ran toward the forest.
Even though the sky was getting brighter, it was still dawn, and the light wasn't strong enough for Natasha to see the facial features of the opposite party.
Mike ran over, and a moment later, the two figures hugged.
Upon seeing this, Natasha was relieved.
Natasha glanced at Kenneth and patted his back. Just as she was about to say something, she realized her hands were covered in crimson blood.
Stunned, she reached out to touch his back again and noticed that his clothes were drenched in blood.
“Kenneth, Kenneth!” Natasha cried.
Natasha rushed to support Kenneth when he suddenly slumped down. “Wake up, Kenneth...”
However, Kenneth's head remained lowered. He was unresponsive, and his face was also as pale as a sheet.
“Kenneth, hold on!” Natasha tried to place him on the ground. Just then, Mike came running back. “Kenneth, Natasha, guess who's here!”
His voice was full of delight. Natasha froze momentarily when she looked up and saw Dave and Spencer walking over.
Dave and Spencer smiled at her.
“You guys—” Natasha was about to say something when Kenneth's body slid down and fell to the ground.
“Kenneth!”
Dave and Mike immediately approached.
Although Kenneth was covered in dirt, the blood on his back was still a ghastly sight.
“What happened?” Dave questioned.
“He must have gotten injured during the explosion just now,” Natasha replied.
Upon seeing this, Spencer walked over with a serious expression. “Let me take a look.”
After a thorough examination, he said, “His internal organs are fine, but he got too agitated and lost too much blood. We should talk more after we return first.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just as Spencer was going to load Kenneth on his back, the latter suddenly opened his dark, bright eyes.
“Kenneth,” Dave called out.
Kenneth grabbed onto his hand tightly and uttered, “Dave...”
“It's me.” Dave smiled at him. No one could understand Kenneth's feelings better than him at the moment.
Kenneth's lips twitched, and emotions flashed across his reddened eyes. He wanted to say something but felt himself getting choked up.
“I know what you want to say. I'm fine. It's okay,” Dave uttered.
After staring at Dave for a long time, Kenneth could finally confirm that he wasn't dreaming. It's not an illusion. It's real.

Aftar staring at Dava for a long tima, Kannath could finally confirm that ha wasn't draaming. It's not an illusion. It's raal.
His expression softened, and his eyes spoke volumes.
Suddenly, he extended his hand while staring at Dave. Dave lowered his head to look at it. After a moment of hesitation, he finally held Kenneth's hand, which was covered with blood.
The next second, Dave applied force, and they were in each other's arms.
It was an embrace filled with camaraderie.
Everyone felt gratified and moved by their friendship.
There was nothing more touching than the scene before them now.
Luckily, it's just a false alarm! How wonderful!
On the way back, Kenneth's injuries were lightly bandaged. He seemed more energetic than before after learning of Dave's return.
Natasha glanced at Dave and Spencer and asked, “What happened? Weren't you guys upstairs? How did you guys appear in the forest?”
Spencer and Dave exchanged glances before Dave spoke up. “It's a long story, and it will be hard to explain it in a few words.”
“Then, get straight to the point,” Kenneth replied. He really wanted to know what had happened.
Dave shot him a look. “Kenneth, you weren't like this just now!”
“You said it yourself—that was just now!” It was as though Kenneth's demeanor had taken a sudden one-eighty turn.
Dave was at a loss for words. “You're indeed heartless!”
“Cut it out. Hurry up and tell us what happened!” Kenneth pretended to snap.
Dave gave him a sidelong glance and replied, “Boss designed the room, and he also set up everything inside it. It was clear that he intended the person who entered it to die. The room had already been destroyed previously, which was from that time when you were waiting for me outside. It was rebuilt specifically for me this time. The most important thing was that when the timer stopped, Luke accidentally dropped a cup in the room. When the cup fell to the ground, it made a hollow sound.” With that, his gaze fell on Natasha and Kenneth.
“So?” Mike, who was driving in front, couldn't help but ask when Dave stopped talking.
“So, they realized that that spot was hollow! There was a passage that led outside!” Natasha helped Dave explain.
