The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1052

Apart from filling up the tank, he had to prepare more rations, water, medicine, and such. After all, he

did not know how many days he would be gone, so he had to prepare more.

After refueling, the two of them had a simple meal and began to wait for Carson and the others in the

car.

Twenty minutes later, Carson also drove over.

“You drove too fast. I almost couldn’t keep up with you.”

“We’re not waiting for you.

“I don’t suppose there’s anyone ahead. You should fill the tank now.”

“Yes, yes,” Carson replied and refueled his car.

Bruce glanced at the sun. It was already noon. He could not delay any longer. “Let’s continue.” “Okay,

Mr. Everett.”

Darcy drove in front, followed by Carson and Tom. Most of the supplies were in Carson’s car. After

driving for another two hours, the cars had completely entered the no man’s land. The area within a

circumference of a few hundred miles was deserted.

Just the natural conditions alone were life-threatening, not to mention other things. There was the

Gorgon Desert, a swamp, a bottomless lake, and the dark river. All kinds of wild plants and animals

grew savagely, making people exclaim at the secret workings of nature.

A screeching sound was heard as Darcy stopped the car.

A river had blocked the road ahead. If the car wanted to pass through, it had to detour.

“Mr. Everett, if we continue forward, we’ll reach the depths of the no man’s land.

“There won’t be any signal inside anymore. We can only go in on foot. What should we do?”

Bruce got out of the car and observed the surroundings.

“Darcy, Carson, stay here and wait.”

Darcy was worried. “Mr. Everett, let us go with you.”

Bruce frowned and refused. “No, someone has to pick us up here. If we all go in and encounter danger,

there won’t even be anyone to come to our aid.”

When Darcy heard that, he said in a deep voice, “Then the two of them will stay here. I’ll If you go

alone and encounter any danger, you won’t even have anyone to help you, Mr. Everett. That definitely

won’t do.”

Bruce considered. “Yes, alright, that will do as well.”

After Bruce finished explaining, he and Darcy drove again, preparing to bypass the river and drive

deeper into the no man’s land.

Carson and Tom stayed where they were and waited.

After Darcy circled 9 miles, he finally found a place where the water was shallow. The off-road vehicle

could wade across.

After driving for more than an hour, the road conditions became more difficult. The wheels would

sink into soft mud or sand from time to time, and it was very difficult to drive out.

“Mr. Everett, the signal is down. We might need to use the map.”

Darcy stopped the car and took out a map to study the direction and destination.

“This spot should be the dark river that the Eprarian mentioned.”

Bruce looked at the location indicated by Darcy’s finger. “I think so.”

“Mr. Everett, look, there are traces of wheels on the ground.

“Unfortunately, the car can’t go any further. We might have to walk.”

When Bruce heard that, he frowned. “Bring me the map. Let me take a look.”

“Here you go.” Darcy handed the map to Bruce.

Bruce took the map and looked at it carefully.

This place was about dozens of miles from the dark river of Karchi Lake that the Eprarian mentioned.

With his and Darcy’s stamina, it would take at least three to four hours to walk there.

“It’s two o’clock in the afternoon now. If we want to go in on foot, we have to get to the dark river before

six.

“It’s winter now. The sun sets early. At night, we can’t travel anymore.”

Darcy took a deep breath. “Yes, it’s a pity that the car can’t drive in, and the target is too obvious.”

Bruce thought for a few seconds and said decisively, “Carry the things on your back. We’ll walk over

immediately…

“Okay, okay.”

Darcy opened the trunk of the car and took out two backpacks filled with essential items.

They contained all the necessary things for survival in the wild. There were weapons, ropes, bread,

water, and such. They weighed over 44 pounds.

The two carried one backpack on each of their backs and walked deeper.

“Will there be a swamp in the water? If only we could make a simple boat.

“Let’s hope we make it to Karchi Lake before it gets dark.”

Bruce did not speak. He looked around cautiously as he walked. He had to remember the direction.

and route. They must not get lost.

In this godforsaken place, the soil contained a large amount of iron. The magnetic field would be

disturbed, and even the compass would lose its effect.

“This path is getting more difficult. I really don’t know how that Eprarian managed to walk out of -here.”

Bruce frowned and lamented.

That Eprarian was seriously injured and had been infected with some strange virus. Bruce did not even Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

know how that person had escaped from this place.

When Darcy heard that, he looked at Bruce with a solemn gaze. He wanted to ask something, but he

held back.

All these years, he had been by Bruce’s side, risking his life without a word of complaint.

He had also suspected Bruce’s true identity before but had never asked.

“Darcy, have you ever regretted following me?

“This time, we might not be able to return to Greyport.”

A simple and honest smile appeared on Darcy’s face. He whispered, “Anyway, I owe my life to you, Mr.

Everett. If not for you, I wouldn’t have lived until now. Even if I can’t go back this time, I’ve outlived

myself by more than ten years. It has been worth it.”
