Chapter 225
Allison didn’t dare lo venture too deep into the jungle, fearing it would land her in a whole heap of
trouble.
Without human intervention, there could be snakes and bugs popping up left and right.
However, she’d already been roaming around the jungle for hours.
She kept moving in one direction.
From the entrance of the jungle expedition to the supposed “treasure“, it was only a few hours away.
But there was still no one in sight, and there could only be one reason for that.
Allison’s pupils dilated slowly.
At this point, she was deep into the jungle, well beyond the area maintained by the expedition crew.
Allison’s fingers clenched tightly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA cold breeze stirred behind her.
Her lips quivered, she was lost, and no matter how cool–headed she usually was or how many times
she told herself to keep calm, she couldn’t keep her
cool in this situation!
Could she die here?
No, she couldn’t die here.
Grace was still waiting for her!
She had promised to take Grace to a beautiful, cosy place to live. Grace was still in the hospital.
She dumped all the useless stuff from her backpack, including some sunblock and a busted compass.
She had to conserve her energy.
Lucian, flashlight in hand, gazed ahead. His handsome and calm face betrayed a hint of panic as he
strode forward, yelling Allison’s name, “Allison!
Allison-”
His phone started to vibrate.
“Lucian, you need to get out of there, it’s supposed to rain tonight. The situation in the jungle could go
south real quick. Get out, and we’ll figure out a plan.”
Lucian didn’t stop; he just kept walking; his voice was urgent, “I have to find her! James, you said it
yourself, it’s going to rain, and the temperature in the jungle on Pearl Island drops drastically at night. If
she’s really trapped, she might not make it.”
“Carl’s already called the search and rescue team, they’ll be here soon.”
“Where’s Allison? Send me her location”
“I can’t find her, her phone seems to be out of service.”
Lucian’s face changed; he clenched his jaw, ready to hang up; James rushed to say. “Be careful, and
stay in touch.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucian grunted in reply.
“What? Allison still hasn’t come out!” Jason grabbed his backpack, ready to dash into the jungle right
away.
*Jason! It’s dangerous, don’t go in.” Lily immediately tried to stop him, “The search and rescue team is
already in there, let’s get back, the waves will get bigger later, and the yacht won’t be able to operate!”
“No, I have to go!” Jason pushed Lily away, took a few steps forward, and Carl followed, wiping his
sweat. Mr Lindberg had already gone in. If Jason rushed in too, and something happened, as the
person in charge of this project, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
*Jason, you can’t go in.”
Carl did his best to stop Jason, who was both anxious and helpless, “Let go!”
Carl had two people hold Jason back, he couldn’t let him go in. It was already late at night, anything
could happen in the jungle. If anything went wrong, it would be unimaginable
“Let me go, I need to find Allison!” Jason was extremely anxious.
“Mr Lindberg is already in there, Jason, you should go back. You’re not going to be any help here,
adding one more person to the situation just increases the risk. Let’s wait for the professional rescue
team.”
