End of the World? I'm the Boss novel Chapter 492

End Times, Surviving with My Beastly Army

Chapter 492 Trapped

As they got closer, the guard realized it wasn’t just the few people who’d left earlier. Two strength-type ability users in the back were supporting a man covered in blood, their faces filled with panic. “We hadn’t gone far when we ran into Frank on the road!”

Frank Lambert’s entire body weight rested on the two people supporting him, clearly completely spent.

Hannah gasped. “Frank, your feet!”

He should have been wearing a pair of thick-soled running shoes. But now, the soles had been worn away almost completely. Only the uppers were still wrapped around his feet, leaving his toes fully exposed. The bottoms of his feet were covered in blood, and the bone in his big toe was even visible.

Frank was a speed-type ability user. Judging by his condition, he must’ve traveled an incredibly long distance on foot. Otherwise, his feet could never have ended up like this.

The guard urgently asked, “Frank, what happened? Didn’t you leave with the commander? Why are you the only one back? Where’s the commander and the others?”

Frank’s chest heaved violently. He forced his mouth open, trying to say something, but his body suddenly lurched forward, and he spewed out a mouthful of blood!

The guard was practically sweating bullets. “What happened? Frank, say something! Where’s the commander and the others?!”

“He can’t make a sound right now,” Dylan said with a frown. “He ran for too long. Rapid breathing restricted blood flow to his vocal cords, temporarily paralyzing them.”

“What do we do then?”

Robin said coldly, “Move.”

She took out a small bottle of water and handed it to the people supporting Frank. “Give this to him.”

“Who are you?”

They didn’t trust her so easily. Instead, they looked at her with suspicion. “You’re not from our base, are you? Water is so precious right now, yet you’re handing it out just like that. Who’s to say you didn’t poison it?”

Robin was dumbfounded.

‘But she still replied patiently, “You know water is precious right now? So why would I poison something this precious?

“Besides, take a good look at him. If you don’t do something after he’s run for this long, he could drop dead. Why would I waste precious water to harm a guy who might not even survive?”

Her words weren’t harsh, but they were undeniable logic.

The others fell silent.

Chapter 492 Trapped

Robin held the bottle out a little farther. “He obviously came back with intel. If you don’t do something right now, he really might die.”

Frank struggled to lift his eyelids and shot her a grateful look.

Hearing her words, the group stopped second-guessing. One of them quickly took the bottle and carefully fed Frank a few sips.

Normally, someone who’d just done intense exercise shouldn’t drink water right away. It could make them choke or worse.

But the water Robin gave him wasn’t ordinary water. As Frank took small sips, the metallic faste of blood in his mouth began to fade. His throat had been burning as if he had swallowed a handful of razor blades. out as the water slowly flowed into his stomach, the pain gradually eased.

On top of that, he could feel strength slowly returning to every exhausted cell in his body.

This… Is this really just water?
