“He’s dead…” Calista murmured to herself, her tone hollow <b>as </b>she continued to bite him, only letting go after a lingering moment had passed.
She then methodically sat upright and, with a disconcerting serenity, <b>checked </b>his pulse. There was no doubt about it he was undoubtedly dead.
As she sat there, her body ckened, every muscle and limb throbbing <b>with </b>intense pain. It was only now that the stark realization <b>that </b>she <b>had </b>indeed taken a life firmly imnted itself in her mind.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Just moments before, she had been propelled by a singr, driving thought–she must not die.
Thus, every action she had taken was to stave off her own demise. But now, with those who had been pursuing her lying lifeless, the vivid memories of how she had dispatched each of them flooded back to her.
She had crushed the first <b>man’s </b>skull, broken the second man’s neck, shot the third, and bitten the fourth to death
Throughout it all, she exhibited not a hint of fear, no terror, nor any tremors of guilt.
Suddenly. Calista found herselfughing quietly, her hands covering her face. It was evident she <b>was </bughing, yet her expression could just as easily have been mistaken for one of wailing, albeit without shedding <b>a </b>single tear.
Have I transformed into a demon following <i>my </i>own tragic experiences? I’ve ended the lives <i>of </i>four individuals with such chilling precision! And even now, after their demise, I feel nothing… It’s a numbness that terrifies me.
A deep sadness and an overwhelming fatigue washed over her. The distant echoes of gunfire were just that distant. Surrounded by the burning, jungle, she felt as though she had reverted to being the forsaken
forever hiding and fleeing, living in a perpetual state of fear.
<i>I </i>really want to sleep… No, wait! <i>I </i>still have <i>the </i>password!
Energy all but drained from her body, Calista frantically searched the dead man’s body with trembling hands, but found nomunication device. She staggered to her feet, but as she did, a wave of dizziness from the medication struck her, pushing her to her physical limits.
Her legs buckled, sending her to one knee. Then, a gunshot echoed through the air.
Calista gasped in shock, whipping her head <b>around </b>only to see the man she had shot earlier. Someone <b>had </b>delivered a fatal shot to his head, and he copsed limply to the ground.
Clearly, her earlier <b>shot </b>had found its mark, but had not immediately killed him. Moreover, he had just attempted ah ambush. Luckily, someone <b>had </b>intervened on her behalf. Otherwise, her fate would have been sealed…
Struggling to remain conscious, Calista managed to lift her head, <b>curious </b>to see her rescuer. However, as the effects of the medication surged through her veins<b>, </b>she copsed. Initially, she braced for impact with the ground, but, to her <b>surprise</b>, she found herself caught in someone’s arms.

man’s arm.
With this, those people wouldn’t have to die; there should be enough time… Could saving lives possibly bnce <b>out </b>the sin of taking one?
Overwhelmed, Calista was no longer capable of such reflections <b>as </b>she slipped into unconsciousness.
Kallum tightened his embrace around her body. The sight of someone attempting to assassinate her had made his heart stop. Almost instinctively, he had fired a shot.
Thankfully, she was alive. Despite the numerous injuries <b>she </b>had sustained, she persisted resiliently in <b>clinging </b>to life.
After holding her briefly, Kallum suddenly released Calista with a hint of rm and handed her over <b>to </b>Elijah who stood waiting behind him.
He was apprehensive that he might <b>have </b>already contracted the K Virus. Since Calista was injured and vulnerable, if she were to get infected, everything he had aplished that day would have been for naught.
Initially, Elijah found it rather <b>odd</b>. Why would Mr. Kallum go to such lengths to save someone yet not even embrace them once! However, upon noticing the affection in the man’s gaze, it was clear that he really cared about her.
“Take her back to tend to <b>her </b>wounds,” Kallum instructed.
Upon hearing <b>this</b>, Elijah quickly breathed a sigh of relief, “Mr. Kallum, she’s been rescued. You should seek treatment yourself! You’re not just anyone… Even though the antibody wasn’t administered in time, you’ll definitely be okay!”
Kallum could fee! his body rapidly deteriorating, but he couldn’t bring himself to voice these concerns. So,
remained silent, directly dialing the military district, andmunicated the crucial password to them.
Ultimately, a hundred thousand lives were saved. Yet, <b>who </b>could have possibly anticipated that the hero responsible for their salvation <b>was </b>merely a youngdy?
Not only had she adeptly evaded the clutches of those who pursued her, but she had also struck back, neutralizing those who sought to cause her harm and in doing so, she safeguarded countless lives.
This heroism <b>was </b>unmistakably characteristic of Calista.
Kallum <b>had </b>long recognized that beneath any changes, Calista retained a fundamentally kind–hearted nature. She had merely encased her intrinsic goodness within a shell of newfound resilience <b>and </b>determination.
Perhaps this transformation was fortuitous; he realized he might not always be there to protect her in the times ahead, but she had proven that she could indeed protect herself.
He believed that the memory of Calista’s visage at that moment would linger with him until his final days.
Resolute and sharp, her figure set against the backdrop of a forest engulfed in mes, where the towering inferno could not even diminish the intensity of her presence. He felt immense gratitude for having been there to aid her–surely, this would be remembered as the most fortuitous decision of his life.

the bodies were incinerated on the spot. Uriah had met <b>his </b>demise alongside those he had dismissed as “inferior.”
The once loyal subordinates of the Jurickson family, indoctrinated from a young age, were now nearly entirely extinct. It appeared that their story had reached its definitive conclusion.
By the time Calista regained consciousness, she found herself back in her home country. The familiar settings enveloped her in a wave of confusion.
How did I end up here? Was the bomb sessfully deactivated<i>? </i><i>Who </i>saved me back then?
As she opened her eyes, the nurse overseeing her care was ovee with tion. “You’re finally awake! You’ve been unconscious for six days!”
Without responding. Calista rubbed her temples. It was then the door swung open to reveal Benedict.
“Callie, you’re finally awake!”
