Chapter 908
The ground started to shake again, and rocks began to tumble down from the top of the tunnel. Maja could only
brace herself and help lan up, trying to find a place to take cover. But the tunnel was spotless, without any tables or
chairs. The occasional doors they found led to sheer cliffs, scaring the living daylights out of her. She understood
even more the difficulty lan faced in leaving markers along the journey.
Following the markers outside, the ground shook even more violently. But before them was a door that required a
password. In this mountain, they could only go in, but not out. Freedom was just behind this door, but if the
password was entered incorrectly, they would be trapped here forever, unless they chose to jump off the cliff,
leaving their fate up in the air.
Ian couldn’t go on any longer.

sweat from the pain soaking his hair.
He held her tightly, as if it was their last moments together. “Maja, watch out!”
He quickly pushed her away as a large rock fell from above, hitting him squarely on the head.
“lan!” Maja quickly tore a strip of cloth from her clothes, pressing it hard against his wound.
But the blood kept on flowing.
Maja’s fingers were trembling as she tried to cover his head wound and bang on the door at the same time. “Open
up! Open up!”
The earthquake continued, with no place to take cover. Another rock might roll down any time.
She quickly wiped off the blood on her hands and tried entering the password again and again.
“Invalid password.
“Invalid password.”
“You have one more try.”
Maja’s hand was shaking even more as she heard lan’s faint voice. “Maja.” He didn’t even have the strength to
stand up, just leaning against her. Maja’s tears fell thick and fast as she held him, staring at the digital screen in
front of her.
“Maja, it’s okay. The earthquake will be over soon.” His voice was barely a whisper, his head resting against her
chest.
Maja’s hands were covered in blood.
“Stop talking.” She bit her lip, her swollen eyes fixated on the door in front of her

The iron door slowly opened, and she stood there, pale as a ghost. Ian seemed just as surprised. How did she know
the password?
As soon as Maja came to her senses, she helped him up and headed outside. At least it was spacious outside and
there wouldn’t be any rocks rolling down. But many trees had fallen, and the earthquake continued. Nowhere was
safe, even without falling rocks, a falling tree could crush them just as easily.
“lan, hang in there.”
Ian remained quiet from the start.
Maja felt a lump in her throat, planning to help him climb over this small slope, to find a more level ground. But
suddenly, there was a loud explosion from the forest, followed by the sound of rushing water. She looked up in
surprise and saw a landslide, with floodwaters carrying trees and soil rushing down the mountain. Almost
instinctively, she held lan tightly in her arms.
The next second, the flood swept them away. Just before they were swept away, Maja felt a warm touch on her lips.
