The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (41)

Just like what they had predicted, the hole was big enough to squeeze his body inside, for a while, it was like a narrow tunnel, where Zale had to crawl on his knees and elbows before he found a wider area like a cave. He was bringing luminous pearl with him, so he could see inside.

"Who... who is that?" Joel asked hoarsely, it had been three days, if it was not more, they were trapped inside. Thankfully, from the crack on the rocks, there was water dripping. It must be raining outside, but then what they drank was the black water from the strange rain.

Though it was questionable, but they didn’t have many options if they wanted to survive.

"Joel, is that you?" Zale asked, he followed his voice and found Joel was leaning his back against the rock. He closed his eyes because the light from the luminous pearls hurt his eyes.

"Drop it..." he said, he tried to avoid the bright light.

"Oh, sorry." Zale put the luminous pearl in the center, which enough to illuminate this small place like cave, making the light was dim enough for Joel to open his eyes. "Are you okay? Where is the other?" He looked around, but he needed some time to adjust his sight.

"Celia is in that corner, please check on her and take her out of this place first." Joel then pointed his finger to his left. "Aliana... Aliana is there, please, check on her..." _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

Zale didn’t waste his time and went to check on the little girl, who was barely breathing, her body was very hot and blood oozed out from her nose and mouth. She had been sick all this time and what happened now only worsened her condition.

Meanwhile, Aliana was in critical condition, her healing ability was able to let her survive, but it couldn’t be said that she was safe right now, so did Joel, though his condition was only slightly better than the other.

Zale had to think really hard because it was tricky to get her out from the small tunnel when she was unconscious like this.

"Wait, I will be back!" Zale said, as he crawled back outside.

"How is it? Are they inside?" Zephyr immediately asked and from the corner of Zale eyes, he saw the tacky merchant joined them.

"Yes, the three of them inside," Zale said and all of them cheered because they finally found them, yet their excitement died down really quick when they were facing with another trouble.

Zale described into detail what happened to Aliana, Joel and Celia and how he didn’t think he could get them out.

Celia was unconscious and Joel would have a hard time to fit in the tunnel.

"Joel maybe can fit in, but it will be hard, since he dislocated his shoulder. It will be painful. I don’t think Aliana will be able to go through the tunnel too..."

Joel dislocated his shoulder and because it healed before he could make it right, his shoulder looked a little bit weird and it was still painful.

Zale gave all the detail about what happened inside, he left nothing unsaid. Zephyr was right, this young boy was the right person to go in.

"Our option is only to make the tunnel bigger, so we can get them out of there in time," Kian suggested.

"Yes, but it doesn’t mean there is no consequences for that. What if the rocks collapsed and buried them instead?" Otis voice out the main concern of this option.

All of them were silence.

Eron glanced at Ethan, who had been silence all this time. It was so hard to see this easy going gamma became very quiet like this. This was not like him at all. He looked like he was deep in thought and they were too afraid to bother him.

"Ethan, what do you think?" Eron braced himself to ask Ethan, while the other people looked at the gamma, waiting for his answer.

Ethan stood in front of the small entrance, staring at the dark tunnel, while the black rain started pouring down. The atmosphere was very heavy and cold, something white floating in the air fell on their head and shoulders.

"It’s snow..." Zale said, as he looked up and watched white powder fell from the dark sky. "This is the first snow."

All of them lifted their head and watched snowflakes fell gently on them.

"Leave," Ethan finally spoke. "All of you, leave."

"Hm?" Zephyr frowned. "What do you mean?"
