“We’re leaving together.”
Under such circumstances, how could he leave alone?
If he left these soldiers behind, they would die.
“Liam, James is weak. It’s too difficult for him to escape. Carry him on your back.” In the darkness, a voice gave an order.
“Understood,” The soldier named Liam answered instantly.
“Let’s leave together! If we don’t go now, it’ll be too late!” Seeing the enemies’ lights approaching, James began to panic.
“Liam, carry him and leave! The rest, prepare for battle!”
Liam picked James up, stood up, and said, “Ms. Thea, let’s go.”
Then, he carried James on one shoulder and pulled Thea with his other hand, hurriedly making his way deep into the cavern.
James closed his eyes.
He knew those who stayed back were destined to die.
Gunshots sounded shortly after they left.
It was an intense exchange of gunfire.
After ten minutes, the cave became quiet.
However, Liam, who was carrying James and pulling Thea, did not stop in his tracks.
He was in a hurry and had no idea where he was going.
“Damn it. It’s a dead end.”
Liam ran for a long time, but he was unfamiliar with the place and dared not turn on his flashlight. Ultimately, they reached a dead end and were unable to advance any further.
“Put me down,” James whispered.
Liam immediately placed James down.
James sat on a damp rock.
“What should we do now, James?” Liam was worried.
James said, “It’s definitely too late to go back and find another path. The soldiers that stayed back have most likely been killed. The enemies are right on our tracks. All we can do now is hide and stay quiet.”
“Honey, I’m scared.”
Thea’s voice sounded in the dark.
She grabbed James’ hands tightly.
James could feel her body trembling in fear.
He quickly hid the chest in a gap and held Thea’s hand. He comforter her, “It’s alright. Don’t worry.”
