Chapter 1234 Entering the Dense Forest
I sighed. "How dare the people from the Huffman family act that way?"
"Not surprising!" Atlas said indifferently, "They were once folks living on the edge. They were living in a lawless place, so there are inevitably some underhanded actions."
"Did you know they're from the Huffman family?" I asked Atlas ahead.
"At first, I didn't know. I asked them questions and guessed," Atlas said.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"What questions?" I asked.
He glanced back at me and smiled faintly, "Related to Navi."
It seemed that when he got out of the car, he tested them by speaking Cirencester's language 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 explained 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.
Atlas glanced 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 Atlas'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 village. Then we
need to enter the forest from here to reach their base," Atlas said,
glancing at me and patting my hand. "We'll have to go through the forest later. Sit tight!"
Only then did I realize why the clothes he prepared for me before leaving resembled combat uniforms.
My preconceived notions about villages were entirely contradicted by the village I saw when I exited the car.
With only a few run-down bamboo huts, it hardly qualified as a village.
We didn't linger. Someone was
already there to meet us. After a el
brief exchange, Atlas 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.
Atlas glanced at me occasionally, 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 Atlas wasn't looking at me.
I didn't know how far we had walked when someone came over and whispered, "Sir, they're coming soon."
"Then let's rest here for a while," Atlas 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 was completely drained of energy as soon as relaxed, like a puddle of mud
I was not exercising enough at all.
