"Samuel, watch out!"
Lucas turned around and saw a tiger pouncing towards them. The tiger had eyes red.
He heard that this forest had been contaminated by pollutants from a destroyed research institute. For
this reason, the animals here had been mutated.
They couldn't even deal with an ordinary tiger, then what could they do to a mutated one?
Lucas subconsciously pulled Samuel over, but Samuel suddenly turned around and hurled a dagger at
the tiger's eyes.
"Go with your mommy now!"
After that, Samuel jumped up and faced the tiger.
Nicole was frightened to death.
Although she knew that it was normal to see wild animals in this primeval forest, she couldn't believe
his eyes when she saw them.
"Lucas, you go first."
Nicole raised her hand and threw Lucas out.
"No, Mommy."
Although Lucas was unwilling to leave, he was too weak to resist it. He was thrown out by Nicole and
trapped in a net unexpectedly.
"Mommy!"
Lucas struggled to free himself. But the net had electricity, and he felt a bit dizzy instantly.
Nicole didn't expect that she would put Lucas into a dangerous situation.
Her husband was fighting with the fierce tiger and her son was being tortured by the electrical net.
Nicole was in great pain, but she could do nothing.
She had never had a dilemma like that before. Lucas was about to lose consciousness and Samuel
was also in a pickle. He was injured, and the smell of fresh blood made the tiger even more excited.
At this time, Samuel found a chance to say, "Save Lucas first, I'm all right."
Finally, Nicole ran towards Lucas.
At this moment, a team of mercenaries walked out with guns and aimed at Nicole.
"Don't move! Otherwise, we'll kill him."
Some of them aimed at Nicole and some aimed at Lucas. Nicole looked at them and frowned.
Samuel had said that someone was looking for Laurence. It seemed to be true. Judging from these
men's way of dressing, she had someone in mind.
"Do you work for Martha's father?"
She did not know who Martha's father was, so she could only inquire in this way.
"Follow us!"
The number of their members had decreased because some had died earlier in the Dark Forest. Now
Samuel was fighting with the tiger, and it was the best time for them to take Nicole away. Moreover,
Lucas was in their hands, so they were sure that she would follow them.
Seeing that her son was about to faint, Nicole whispered, "Free my son and I'll go with you."
"Don't play tricks, or we'll shoot Samuel."
"If Samuel dies, you will also die."
Nicole knew that they needed Samuel to stop the tiger. Otherwise, everyone would be in danger.
Samuel's sacrifice was worth it only for saving her and Lucas, but now...
Nicole's eyes were full of coldness.
Without thinking, she directly rushed towards Lucas and threw the dagger to the net that was holding
Lucas.
At the same time, Nicole shouted, "Samuel, lure the tiger over. If we die here today, these people must
die with us!"
Hearing that, Samuel stopped fighting with the tiger and turned around to run towards Nicole.
Those mercenaries never imagined that Nicole would make such a suicidal choice. They were so
scared that they turned around and ran away.
The tiger was very excited when it saw its prey. It howled towards these people, which made everyone
tremble in fear.
One of the mercenaries sprained his leg and was killed by the tiger in the next moment. His blood
splattered the ground.
At the same time, Samuel pulled Nicole into his embrace and then rolled in Lucas' direction.
Samuel was surprised to see the electrical net.
That meant there was electricity nearby.
Samuel quickly let go of Nicole.
Nicole thought of it as well. She quickly searched for the switch, but Samuel could not wait and took out
his pistol and fired at the rope on the net.
The moment the rope broke, Nicole found the switch and turned it off. The two of them quickly carried
Lucas out.
Seeing Lucas' pale face, Nicole's heart ached.
She threw the electrical net at the mercenaries and turned on the switch.
"Ah!"
Miserable screams cut through the forest. Several mercenaries were hit and fell to the ground, then
they were eaten by the tiger.
At this moment, Nicole and Samuel quickly held Lucas, turned and ran.
The Dark Forest was covered in fog now, so it was difficult to see the road or discern the direction.
Samuel took out his phone and checked. There was no cell phone reception.
They ran fast all the way. The spiders there were so big with red eyes, which made them extremely
horrible.
Nicole had a bit of a stomach ache, but she didn't dare to stop.
Samuel whispered, "We may have entered the center of the Dark Forest."
This was also Nicole's worst fear.
She looked at Lucas who had fainted in her arms and frowned.
"Can't you find a way out?"
"Perhaps now we can only wait for the fog to lift. The compass doesn't work."
Samuel was also somewhat annoyed.
He never imagined that the Dark Forest would be so dangerous, let alone knew those mercenaries
would appear here.
Just now, why did they want to kidnap Lucas and Nicole?
Who was Martha's father?
Samuel couldn't find out an answer.
More and more wild beasts were coming towards them.
They were like fat meat, attracting a lot of carnivores.
Nicole held Samuel's hand tightly and suddenly smiled, "If we die here today, would you blame me?"
"No, why would you think that?"
Samuel was calm now.
If he died here alone, he might be worried. Now that his wife and son were by his side, he felt relieved.
"It was my idea to come here, and I even brought Lucas here. I'm so ashamed of him."
"Lucas won't blame you. What he wants most is to protect his mother and sister."
What Samuel said was just what Lucas thought.
Lucas woke up and looked around at the surroundings. Hearing Samuel's words, he could not help but
say, "Mommy, we will get out of here. God will bless us."
"When did you become superstitious? A man must have the ability to protect the person he wants to
protect. He can't just count on God.
Hearing that Samuel's lecture on virility, Nicole smiled and said, "Samuel, come on. Lucas is good
enough."
"Well, I didn't say that Lucas wasn't good. How could my son be bad?"
What he said even praised himself at the same time.
They three were somewhat calm and relaxed. Then, Nicole set Lucas on his feet. There were more and
more animals in the surroundings, which made the hair on the back of Nicole's neck stand up.
Samuel said solemnly, "We will have to split up and fight later. Lucas, you deal with the animals behind
you. Nicole, you just deal with those around you. I'll deal with the rest."
"Alright."
They quickly settled on this and became serious.
This would be a fierce battle.
Nicole was pregnant, and she felt uncomfortable in her stomach. Now, she had little time to worry about
her unborn baby. She only hoped that Samuel and Lucas could get out of the woods safely.
The three of them planned to try their best to fight.
Lucas had made some preparation in advance. He took out a small bottle and threw it at the animals.
Then he shouted, "Samuel, Mommy, hold your breath and close your eyes."
Although they didn't know what their son had used, Nicole and Samuel quickly held their breath and
closed their eyes.
Everything went black.
Lucas held their hands and quickly said, "Run!"
Samuel and Nicole didn't have time to ask. They had been running for a while. After they found that
there were no animals behind, they stopped to rest.
"Nicole, are you okay? Is your stomach hurting?"
Samuel immediately checked Nicole's legs and stomach.
Although her stomach ached, it was just bearable. Other than that, she was fine. She hurriedly shook
her head.
Samuel took off his coat and laid it on the ground. Nicole sat down and gasped for breath.
Lucas was also breathless.
He had never been in such an awkward position.
Samuel also looked terrible. He was injured and his clothes were soaked in blood.
"What did you throw just now?"
Samuel asked while panting.
Lucas glanced at the surroundings and whispered, "Some hallucinogenic drugs from Joseph. Before I
came here, I added some chili powder into the bottle. The drug may be not working on those mutated
animals, but the chili powder will take effect on them since the wind is on our side."
Nicole and Samuel were stunned when they heard this, and then Nicole gave a thumbs up.
"Lucas, you're such a genius! Why didn't we think of it?"
Samuel also laughed.
Sometimes children were much smarter than adults.
"This place is dangerous, and we need to get out of here as soon as possible. Phoenix may be worried
about us. If we are missing, they will feel sad."
Samuel covered his wound and said.
Nicole looked at his wound with pity.
"Since we can't find a way out, let me treat your wound now."
As she spoke, Nicole was about to get up, but she was stopped by Samuel.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. You need to rest more now."
"I'll do it."
Lucas took out a small bottle of iodophor from his pocket, which made Samuel surprised.
"You took these things with you all the way?"
"Joseph asked me to do it."
Lucas said proudly, and at the same time, he heard a sound that was not far away.
