Chapter 235 The Moment of Desperation
Cynthia was shocked, and her eye sockets were red. Lily... Lily chose to die with these men.
The vans in flames blocked the narrow road and also blocked the return way. Standing on the hill and
seeing this scene, Cynthia made a plan.
She didn't stop and fled into the forest. She kept running inside, crying while running.
The phone call just now had already explained that there were many people blocking the intersection
ahead. If their cars return, they would alert the investigators and send people to chase them. Lily
blocked the road. Those cars couldn't pass, and it was easy to be overtaken by people behind.
The human traffickers wanted to escape, they could only abandon the car and those girls. Those girls
who were in a coma could be saved.
But the human traffickers would choose to run into the mountain, so she and Cherry must be more
careful.
Not long after, she reconciled with Cherry. When Cherry saw her, a surprise flashed on her face, "You
are finally here. Where are we going now?"
Cynthia was annoyed by her behavior at that time. She didn't respond but just pushed aside the grass.
Cherry looked behind her, but found no trace of Lily, she asked, "What about that girl? Why didn't she
come over? Did she not run here, or was she caught?"
Cynthia didn't speak. Cherry was like a fly, buzzing and chattering in her ears. If she didn't speak, she
might be annoyed forever.
Cynthia couldn't take it anymore, she sighed, "She is dead, she died with those men.’
Seeing her red eyes, Cherry stopped speaking. She didn't expect Lily to make such a choice. The two
of them remained silent for a moment.
The weather had started to get hot, the trees and grass were dense here, and mosquitoes were flying
everywhere.
The two walked for a long time, and Cherry began to complain. After shooting a mosquito, she broke
out and cursed, "What the h*ll is this place? There are so many bugs. They bit all over my body. It's so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtannoying..."
Cynthia beat the weeds with the branches she found, fearing that there was a snake hiding in it, and
found that there was no danger and then walked.
Seeing that Cynthia ignore her, Cherry took her anger out on Cynthia. ‘Can you lead the way? Why did
you lead me to a place full of weeds and mosquitoes? You are so unreliable..."
"Shut up!" Cynthia was out of patience. She turned around and glared at Cherry, "If you doubt me, don't
follow me. We will go our own ways. I will not even dare to talk to you about seeing your behavior in the
car. Who knows whether you will bite back! You are more poisonous than snakes."
Cherry was angry but guilty, so she didn't say a word. She followed Cynthia silently and had grass in
her hand. Her eyes were filled with discontent.
Cynthia continued to walk forward. In fact, she didn't need to care about Cherry. Even Lily reminded her
to be vigilant. But she didn't want to watch someone die, so she could only take her and was secretly
wary of her.
They didn't know how long they'd been walking until they came to a cliff.
Cherry grabbed her clothes and said the first sentence after being scolded, "We can't go forward. Here
is called Break Cliff. After passing this boundary, there are wild boars and other wild animals. It's not
safe."
Cynthia was not familiar with this area, so she chose to listen to her, and hid in a lush grass nearby.
"No matter how many bugs there are, don't come out. If someone comes, don't go out if you are not
sure. Do you understand?"
Cherry was exhausted, and waved her hands impatiently, "I know, I know.
You are annoying. I'm not a fool."
Cynthia sneered. Cherry was a fool. When she was impatient, she would never be able to hold on.
Cynthia found a suitable hiding place and hid herself.
Seeing her rejection, Cherry knew that she didn't want to hide in the same place with her, so she went
to the side to hide.
As time went by, the wind rustled the leaves, and unknown birds sang, making the whole mountain
forest quiet and scary.
Cynthia sat cross-legged on the soil. She didn't dare to relax at all, staring at the entrance to the forest
where they came from with a nervous expression.
She looked at Cherry and found that she had started to doze off. She sighed in her heart, "Cherry didn't
have any sense of crisis. Did she think that hiding here would be safe?"
They hid here for a long time, and no one came over. Cherry Miller woke up after a nap, and found that
Cynthia was still in the same position she had before going to nap. She pursed her lips and shivered as
the cold wind blew past.
"Why don't we just go down the mountain and find a passing car to go home? Those human traffickers
must have been caught, and even if they hadn't been caught, they would have run away. We have
already run inside the mountain, and they will not find us."
Cynthia frowned and glanced at her, "Keep quiet. Wait."
She knew that Lily had set fire to the car and blocked the road. Those men couldn't drive and there
were pursuers behind. It was unrealistic to run back, and they were easily caught. So they would
certainly run into the mountains.
If she went out rashly, there was a high chance of meeting those men.
The weather also turned gloomy. It looked as if it was going to rain. Cynthia thought to herself, it would
be more difficult to go out if it rained.
"It's so cold, what the h*lI is the weather!" Cherry complained in a low voice and hugged herself. She
wore light clothes. When she woke up, she was blown by the cold wind and felt that she had a cold.
"I can't stay any longer. I'll go down the mountain when it gets dark!"
Cynthia glanced at her and made up her mind.
Cynthia didn't pay attention to her. Anyway, she had done her best. If Cherry was caught again, she
wouldn't help her.
After waiting a while, there was a commotion in the woods. Cynthia was afraid to move her body, and
her expression was very tense. Cherry also heard it and was nervous. "Is it the person who comes to
save us?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCynthia put her finger to her lips and motioned for Cherry to be quiet.
According to the footsteps, there were only two or three people. But the footsteps were messy, so it
was possible that they were not the ones who saved them but looked like human traffickers who fled in
a hurry.
The sound brought her heart into her mouth. Cynthia listened carefully.
"Boss, there are only two of us left, and I lost my gun on the way. Damn it! Who leaked the news? We
lost so many people, and those girls are lost. We worked for nothing this time!"
Soon, another more vigorous voice sounded. He cursed, "Shut up! How did you check? Those three
b*tches didn't take medicine bread at all. Why didn't you find out?!"
There was no response and the atmosphere was very tense.
Cynthia did not dare to breathe out. She turned her head quietly and caught a glimpse of Cherry's pale
face. She put her hands around her shoulders and trembled. Seeing this scene, Cynthia suddenly had
some bad feelings.
Cherry seemed to have caught a cold. Cynthia hoped that nothing would happen, and that they could
endure it until these two men left.
"Do we have to go much farther There are wild boars in the forest."
Cynthia tightly held the weeds with her fingers. It seemed that these two people were familiar with this
place.
The boss said angrily, "Of course I know we can't go in. Now I need to have a rest here. Do you have
any bullets? There is only one in my gun."
The man's voice was a bit embarrassed. "Boss, I lost my bullet and gun together."
"D*mn!"
Cynthia felt relieved when she heard their talk. There was only one bullet, and that person might not
use it on them. It was most likely to deal with the pursuers in the back.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when Cherry, who was next to her, suddenly shivered from the
cold, and then uncontrollably, she sneezed a little.
Cynthia felt that her heart stopped beating. The sneeze was very low, but it could be heard clearly in
this quiet environment.
The boss paused and looked at the bushes where they were hiding. "Who is there? Come out, or I'll
shoot!"
