Chapter 280
You Hit My Heart
Among the mountains and forests.
Joyce leaned her back against a pine tree and fell into a deep sleep.
She barely closed her eyes last night and her mind was always on
edge. Now that she had finally gotten out, she was extremely tired and
weary and needs to rest.
After having some water and food, Georgia also felt better and her
strength was coming back. She also leaned against a tree and was
having a rest.
She didnât know how long it took, but Joyce woke up. The light shone
from the gap in the leaves, and she found it hard to open her eyes.
She sat up straight and looked up at the sun, which was already high
overhead.
"Oh no, we slept too long. It looks like it's almost noon." Joyce stood
up, walked over to Georgia, and nudged her hard, "Wake up, we have
to keep running. Run as far as we can to the bottom of the hill."
Georgia was shaken awake by Joyce, and she felt much better over.
Just yesterday she felt like she was dying.
Joyce took out some food, ate a cookie for herself, drank some water,
and gave Georgia a cookie.
Georgia laughed dryly, âWhy don't you help me untie the rope on my
hand? How inconvenient it is to keep them tied up on my back, and
now you have to feed me. We are now in the same boat. You untie me,
and if there should be anyone coming behind us, I can still help you."
Joyce glanced lightly at Georgia and refused, "No."
Georgia was quite strong and had worked as a mercenary. Although
she had been starved for three days and lost her strength, she was
now clearly better. If she loosened the rope, in case Georgia wanted to
do anything again, she was really not her match.
"Hey, why are you so stubborn, you just don't believe me." Georgia
bemoaned, âI'm a woman of my word. Never hurt you again!"
Joyce ignored it and went deeper into the mountain forest.
Georgia had no choice but to follow.
The two walked all the way for a long time. As they got deeper and
deeper into the mountain, they didn't really have a direction.
âIt won't work to go on like this, to get out of a forest like this, you
usually need someone to lead the way. Don't you think we just keep
going up and down and not even know if we're going further and further
away from the right track?"
Georgia couldn't walk anymore and sit down on the floor complaining.
"But we still have to continue. We don't have a compass, and we don't
even know which mountain we're in. We can't see just anyone for a
hundred miles around, and we can't contact the outside world. Now we
can barely look at the sun and keep going south, and just hopefully, we
can get out of the mountains. Even if we find the creek first. If we follow
the current, we can always find someone." Joyce was also tired of
walking and sat down to rest.
âIt seems that instead of dying in their hands, the two of us are going to
die in the wilderness of this mountain." Georgia was disillusioned and
discouraged.
"Otherwise, let's light up a fire, and someone who sees the smoke will
be able to come and save us,â Georgia suggested.
âBut then, the people who want to Kill us will know where we are, too.
Not a good idea.â Joyce shook her head. This would have to be their
last resort.
"Hey, I can't get out of here in a million years. I don't know if there are
beasts in the damn mountains. What can we do at night? The
temperature difference between day and night is the greatest in the
mountains." Georgia rubbed her foot against the ground in annoyance.
"We'll see, we'll take one step at a time. Let's keep walking, maybe we
can find a creek.â Joyce is actually worried about the night. The night in
the mountains must be cold and wet, but fortunately enough, it was not
going to rain. If it did rain, the temperature would drop sharply and they
might die from the cold. Fortunately, they still had some food and water,
and thus could still last a while.
The two rested for a moment and continued on their way, walking.
Georgia suddenly screamed, "Ouch, my stomach hurts! It hurts! I want
to go to the bathroom.â
Joyce's eyebrows furrowed, âYou got only a jungle for that.â
