Entering the Dense Forest


    ?


    I sighed. "How dare the people from the Huffman family act that way?"


    "Not surprising!" As said indifferently, "They were once folks living on the edge. They were living in awless ce, so there are inevitably some underhanded actions."


    "Did you know they''re from the Huffman family?" I asked As ahead.


    "At first, I didn''t know. I asked them questions and guessed," As said.


    "What questions?" I asked.


    He nced back at me and smiled faintly, "Rted to Navi."


    It seemed that when he got out of the car, he tested them by speaking Cirencester''snguage to them.


    "Besides, not many would dare to do such things with firearms. I was afraid they were from two different factions, hence, I had to make sure. The fact that they addressed you as ''Miss,'' confirmed that they belonged to the Huffman Family," Cane exined to me.


    I could understand this. There would be a significant risk in releasing them once two opposing groups were involved.


    Just as we were talking, there were gradually more and more lights ahead, indicating that we were approaching our destination.


    At night, the iconic buildings ahead were faintly visible, with lights shining on the towers. It seemed we had reached the area.


    Anya stretched her neck to look outside, apparently excited.


    The car suddenly left the main road and turned into a small road beside it. The road was extremely rough, and the vehicle was shaking severely.


    As nced back at me and softly said, "Hold on tight, This road is a bit long.


    Swarms of insects flew overhead in the dark light, resembling a downpour.


    I couldn''t help but remember As''s words, "Mosquitoes as big as golf balls." Now, it seemed not exaggerated at all.


    "Honey, is this the road to the base?" I leaned forward and clutched onto his seat.


    "No, it''s a remote vige. Then we


    need to enter the forest from here to reach their base," As said,


    ncing at me and patting my hand. "We''ll have to go through the forestter. Sit tight!"


    Only then did I realize why the clothes he prepared for me before leaving resembledbat uniforms.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    My preconceived notions about viges were entirely contradicted by the vige I saw when I exited the car.


    With only a few run-down bamboo huts, it hardly qualified as a vige.


    We didn''t linger. Someone was


    already there to meet us. After a el


    brief exchange, As held my hand and asked softly, "Shall we go now? Are you ready?"


    "No problem!" I nodded firmly, but my heart felt tight.


    Our group silently entered the dense forest.


    Although it was the middle of the night, it was unbearably hot and felt suffocating. It was no wonder they said the environment here was harsh.


    After walking for a while, I felt sweat all over my body, and I panted without a breeze. I felt a bit suffocated.


    As nced at me asionally, softly asking, "Are you okay?"


    I nodded, trying to keep my breathing steady. "No problem!"


    I was already pushing it. I felt like there was no oxygen, and I gasped for air whenever As wasn''t looking at me.


    I didn''t know how far we had walked when someone came over and whispered, "Sir, they''reing soon."


    "Then let''s rest here for a while," As said to everyone.


    He pulled me to a tree root and let me sit down.


    He took out a towel and wiped the


    sweat off my face. I took a deep breath and felt like I waspletely drained of energy as soon as rxed, like a puddle of mud


    I was not exercising enough at all.
