Chapter264 A Hopeless Sitution
Nicole sighed in relief when she noticed the fake native.
The torrential rain plunged the night into a cold abyss.
The leaves around them rustled loudly as
they were drenched in the downpour. Accompanied by the crashing waves from the sea and the wind
howling, it was almost phantasmal and despairing.
Nicole was soaked to the bone and shivered in the cold. The chill seemed to drill all the way down
to her marrow.
She had just stopped to gasp for breath when she suddenly heard the flurry of heavy footsteps
catching up behind them. It was extraordinarily clear in the darkness.
Nicole alid tlte fake ltative exchanged a glance. They theli coittlnued to run
without hesitation.
The cold rain pelted her face like a sharp
knife…
After just a few minutes, she felt like her heart was about to jump out, and her legs stopped
listening to her brain. The surrounding environment was dark, and in addition to the rain, it was
impossible to see anything at all.
The ground was littered with branches and leaves, but they could only continue to escape, even if
it meant crawling away!
The indigenous people chased after them relentlessly and even threw branches at them. Nicole’s back
was hit several times, but she merely gritted her teeth and got up to run again.
Her hands had countless wounds after being cut by twigs and thorns, but she was numb ro the pain.
The fake native in fr‹irit of her ntoved
quicUy with agility. His body was nimble, and he had strong athletic qualities.
Nicole did not dare to lag behind and ran for her life. The sounds behind them were getting closer. If the
indigenous people caught up to them, that would mean certain death! Suddenly, her foot hooked onto a
tree trunk, hurling her to the ground. She could not help but let out a scream when a jolt of pain shot up
her elbow. The fake native tutned around. Nicole gritted her teeth and pulled herself up. “I’m fine! Run!”
All of a sudden, after she stepped over the tree trunk, her foot lost its ground and she found herself
freefalling! fler hands desperately reached out for arlything she could grab. Slte managed to wrap a
flexilile virte arotlnd lter arln.
The full weight of her body hung from that vine, and her hands were already bleeding from the thorns
lining the vine. Nicole could feel her body trembling. She was well aware that her body was at its limit.
The sounds of the indigenous people behind her were like a death knell for her, sinister and frightening.
The feeling of hopelessness had never been so strong before, and the chill swept through every pore of
her body…
However, the next moment, the fake native that should have run away suddenly appeared in front of
her.
He reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the pitfall.
It was like she was handed a llfellne.
Before Nicole could sigh in relief, she subconsciously looked back at the trap
and saw countless thick branches that were shaved into sharp spikes in the pit. For a moment, her hair
stood on end.
It was a trap set by those indigenous people. If she had not grabbed onto the vine, then she would have
lost everything on this freezing rainy night. The man yanked her. “Run!”
Nicole wiped her face, not knowing whether it was the rain or her tears. There was no time to think. She
could only run forward stifHy and numbly. She could not turn back. She could not stop. She could not
even have a second’s rest. There were more paths ahead of thelit afler running through thls sertioit of the
jungle. The fake native turned a few corners in front to throw off their
pursuers. Soon, the sound of footsteps behind them gradually faded away.
The fake native finally stopped and looked back at her.
