Chapter 1189


    Luke couldn''t run fast because he was injured. After they ran out of the cottage, Sherman realized


    how big the fire was in the woods. The entire woods were burning.


    It was night. The wind was strong, causing the fire to spread rapidly.


    Sherman stood still, looked around, and said, "Before we continue to run, we need to find the right


    direction! We can''t run following the direction of the wind."


    The wind would blow the fire more and more wildly, while running against the wind, they might be


    able to escape.


    Luke was also looking around. Then he spoke, "Let''s run that way."


    The mes were getting closer. The zing fires were frightening. They turned around and ran in


    the opposite direction of the wind.


    The woods had been deserted for a long time. Branches and grasses were all around. It was


    difficult for them to move fast.


    Fortunately, Sherman was wearing a pair o f sneakers and long pants. The two of them strived to


    run along, one after the other. There were dead trees around them. One dead tree was leaning on


    the branch of another tree.


    Sherman ran past the tree. She didn''t notice the fallen tree beside her. Suddenly, there was a loud


    crack above her head.


    Instantly, she looked up, and the tree was falling down.


    For a moment, she was dumbfounded. Her mind went nk. When she came back to her senses,


    she moved her left leg to step to the side, but it was toote.


    It was like all in no second. Luke, who was behind Sherman, rushed over and pushed her aside.


    Sherman escaped, but the tree mmed directly onto Luke''s leg.


    Luke couldn''t run away in time. He was struck solidly to the ground. His legs were almost crushed.


    His face was pale and looked awful.


    Back to her senses, Sherman hurriedly steadied her feet and ran over to pull Luke''s arm, but it was


    of little use. She couldn''t pull Luke out. She hastily got up and ran over to Luke''s legs. She began to


    push the trunk with both hands, "Hang on!"


    She pushed and dragged as hard as she


    could. Fortunately, the tree was not too heavy. Finally, she pushed the tree away.


    But Luke couldn''t stand up. Being hit vertically by a fallen tree could be fatal. He couldn''t feel his


    legs. He couldn’t move.


    The mes spread into the woods anyway. Luke said, "Run! Leave me alone! I asked for it myself."


    Sherman sneered, "You really asked for it yourself!"


    However, she didn''t run away. She bent down and took Luke''s arm to help him up. The two of them


    slowly moved forward.


    "Go! When the firees close, none of us could survive!" Luke tried to break away from


    Sherman''s hold. He really could not walk on. Until this moment, he fully acknowledged how weak a


    man was in the face of death. There was nothing he could d


    0.


    Instead of letting go of him, Sherman walked over and squatted in front of him," Come on! I’ll carry


    you!"


    Luke shook his head and was about to copse onto the ground. Sherman pulled his arm over her


    shoulder. She yelled, "If you want to make it easy for me, get on my back!"


    Luke was heavy, and Sherman''s legs were hobbling. She gritted her teeth and held on. She moved


    forward difficultly.


    "I never expected I would be running from death together with you. It''s so ridiculous." Sherman


    strained to squeeze the words out of her teeth.

    Luke tugged at his lips. He thought it was ridiculous, too.
