Female Novel
Chapter 760 Escaping From Death
The three of them walked slowly toward the southern forest.
Along the way, Abigail threw away all of Martin's communication devices.
With a solemn expression on her face, she remained emotionless throughout the entire journey.
Andrew seized the opportunity to secretly observe her. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel asthough Abigail resembled the cunning and intelligent female heroines from ancient costume dramasof Eswadia.
As they neared the birch forest in the south, she asked Simond, "How's the situation at your end?"
"The people have been cleared out mostly, but we still need to be cautious. Since they're Nick'speople, there might be more than just this group. How much longer until you arrive?" he replied.
Before she could reply, a sudden loud bang echoed through the air. Her phone that was hangingfrom her chest was shattered, and it abruptly cut off communication with Simond.
A bullet had pierced her phone and injured her left hand, causing her to wince in pain as her daggerfell to the ground.
The sound of intense gunfire erupted.
…
"Abigail!" Simond roared, but there was no response from the communication device.
Gunshots from the south made him furious. He shouted, "Go to the south!"
She had no firearms, and if someone targeted her, that would be the end of her.
Simond dialed Kevin's number again. After several attempts, he finally got through. "We agreed tocooperate. Where is Sean? And where have you been?"
"Mr. Graham has other matters to attend to, so we can't cooperate anymore," Kevin said calmly.
Initially, he was on Abigail's side, but he didn't expect her to hide a child from them and live withanother man for so long.
She knew Sean was very sensitive about this matter, yet she still did it and even deceived themrepeatedly.
Before Simond could say anything else, the sound of bombing came from the south. He paused andlooked at the blazing flames in anger as he gritted his teeth. "You'll regret this!"
Kevin was startled by this sudden outburst. "What's happening?"
"Ask the devil!" Simond cursed loudly before hanging up the phone and urging his men to movefaster.
The car had just accelerated when it abruptly came to a stop.
Another car came barreling down the mountain road. It slammed into his modified Land Rover withimmense force and sent the entire vehicle careening off the mountainside and tumbling down.
Simond's head was spinning. He held onto the door handle as he struggled to speak. "Faster…Faster..."
If they were any slower, there might not be anything left of Abigail.
Gunshots rang out in every direction.
Abigail regained consciousness from her dizziness and found her face covered in warm blood.
She was pinned down by someone and couldn't move at all.
Most importantly, she realized that everything in front of her was pitch black, and she couldn't seeanything.
She reached out and blinked her eyes but still couldn't see.
Abigail struggled slightly and realized that her whole body was in pain.
She took a deep breath, and as her mind slowly cleared, she remembered when the hail of bulletscame. Martin and Andrew had protected her.
Martin sprayed his self-made chemical to dissolve quite a few bullets.
Abigail didn't know if he was injured, but she felt remorseful for treating him that way.
The gunfire kept going.
She slowly regained consciousness and realized that one of her eyes had regained sight, but theother side remained pitch black. It was possible that her eye had been blinded by the medicationthat Martin had been studying.
She only worried for a moment before using the faint light to slowly get up.
"Martin," she whispered.
"I'm here... Don't make a sound. Let's take Andrew and leave quickly," he whispered back.
Abigail's hand was grabbed as he helped her up.
Together, they assisted Andrew. She checked on Larry in her arms and was relieved to find himbreathing steadily.
"I can't see... Only my other eye can see a little light. Lead the way to anywhere safe," she said.
"I know a place that nobody knows about," Martin whispered.
In the dimly lit surroundings, they leaned on each other as they moved forward.
They reached a deserted area with rundown houses, and Martin led Abigail into a hidden basement.
The basement was outside and camouflaged with grass. Hence, it was hard to spot when it wasclosed.
Inside the basement, Martin slowly dragged his battered body toward a table lamp and turned it on.
Abigail's vision gradually returned to her one eye, but all she could see was his blurred figure.
Martin sat next to Abigail while breathing heavily.
Abigail reached out to touch his body and discovered his chest was bleeding. Her voice trembled asshe asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were hurt?"
"Andrew is hurt, too. Maybe we're destined to die here," he said wearily.
She blinked repeatedly. "Is there any medicine to help my eyes recover?"novelbin
"I never imagined it would come to this," Martin whispered as he gazed at the blood stains onAndrew's body. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "I don't want Andrew to die…"
"Give me a phone. Do you still have one?!" Abigail urgently asked.
"Lower your voice," he said suddenly.
She fell silent immediately.
Sounds of frantic footsteps passed above them.
She gently covered Larry's mouth as she was afraid that he would wake up at this moment and cryout.
This forsaken place had been searched repeatedly.
