Chapter 428 Wait for Doom

Lucia looked up and felt panicked as she knew the distance between them and the upper ground.

In such rain, the pit wall was slippery. They could hardly climb out of the pit. When she saw August, she had

hope in her heart. Unexpectedly, her hope was dashed as the two of them were trapped in a pit in the middle of the heavy rain. The situation got worse.

Lucia asked, "What do we do now?"

August frowned as he took out his phone and saw the "no signal" sign. He answered in a deep voice, "We wait."

A group came to look for Lucia with August. He walked faster than the group, which meant that they should be

here in a while.

Lucia frowned and wasn't relieved. She circled in the pit and tried to find a way out.

The depth of the pit was at least three meters. If she stepped on August's shoulder, she could climb out.

However, how should she get August out when she climbed out?

She knew that she couldn't pull him up with her strength.

August had sat still for a long time. He looked at the woman as she anxiously walked around, and said, "Sit

down and save your strength."

Anxiety wouldn't be of any use. They had to take the worst into account, which was why saving strength was

the best choice.

Hearing his words, Lucia directly sat down.

She was really reluctant to sit in the mud. But, as she had en drenched and had no other choice, she could

only sit on the ground.

In the darkness, she couldn't see clearly the man's expression. However, knowing that the man was beside her

made her relieved.

But, soon, she could no longer be relieved as coldness had launched endless attacks on her. She felt extremely

cold all over her body.

Mountain nights had been cold. More than that, it was raining, and she hadn't had food after consuming.

energy for the whole afternoon.

As she was to pass out in coldness, she heard the man calling out her name from the darkness. "Lucia!" Lucia was stunned dumb. It took her seconds before she came back to her senses. "Huh?"

She only uttered a voice, but August sensed that she was trembling in coldness. He reached out to her, and,

when he touched her arm, he took her arm and pulled her to him.

Lucia couldn't think clearly in her coldness. She didn't struggle and allowed August to pull her closer to him.

August also breathes faster and felt his heart pounding. He directly pulled the woman into his arms.

He didn't feel warm either. However, as they snuggled together, they felt better both physically and mentally. Feeling the warmth from the man, she gradually regained consciousness. She took out her phone and looked at

the time displayed on the screen. She felt more desperate.

The night had just covered the earth, and it had been so cold. What should they do when the night grew later

and colder? It was absolutely impossible for them to stay here all night.

Lucia shuddered in coldness. "August... are we gonna just wait for our doom?"

Hearing this, the man sat a bit straighter but didn't answer immediately.

He was thinking about the question just now. They couldn't wait aimlessly and put all hope on Director Brook and the others. What if they failed to find them? What should Lucia and he do if that were the case?

No, I need to do something!

August took a breath and took back his arms. He moved himself a bit and sald, "You climb up on my shoulder.

Then we'll find a way out."

Lucia hesitantly stood up. She was still undecided. "What about you after I got up alone?"

August said calmly, "Go up first. Either trying to pull me up or looking for help is better than staying here

together."

Hearing this, Lucia took a deep breath and dispelled all her hesitation.

He is right. Sitting passively is a dead end.

She looked resolute and nodded. "Okay, I'll climb up."

August crouched before the pit wall to let Lucia, who was standing behind him, step onto his shoulder.

Lucia held onto his shoulders and felt something sticky and warm. She was startled and flinched.

It was definitely not rainwater!

She looked down but saw nothing in the dark. However, she could clearly smell blood.

It was blood! It was August's blood!

Shocked, Lucia hurriedly asked, "August, are you wounded??

The man wasn't surprised. He seemed to have known it for a long time. He tugged at his clothes and said.

calmly, "I knew."

"Why... why didn't you tell me?"

He never moaned or showed a sign of pain. She didn't know even know when he was wounded.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

When they fell down, August changed their position and made himself fall on the ground before she did. He

must have been wounded at that time.

Sharp stones were everywhere. He not only served as a pad for her but also got himself injured....

Cold in her body but warm in her heart, she had a lump in her throat.

At this moment, the man said deeply, "Come on. Follow my lead. Climb up on my Lucia couldn't bear to let him undertake more pain.

shoulder."
