Chapter 908


    The ground started to shake again, and rocks began to tumble down from the top of the tunnel. Maja


    could only brace herself and helpn up, trying to find a ce to take cover. But the tunnel was


    spotless, without any tables or chairs. The asional doors they found led to sheer cliffs, scaring the

    living daylights out of her. She understood even more the difficultyn faced in leaving markers along


    the journey.


    Following the markers outside, the ground shook even more violently. But before them was a door


    that required a password. In this mountain, they could only go in, but not out. Freedom was just behind


    this door, but if the password was entered incorrectly, they would be trapped here forever, unless they


    chose to jump off the cliff, leaving their fate up in the air.


    Ian couldn’t go on any longer.


    Tears welled up in Maja’s eyes. She felt the blood on her hands. It wasn’s blood. Ian held her from


    behind, his sweat from the pain soaking his hair.


    He held her tightly, as if it was theirst moments together. “Maja, watch out!”


    He quickly pushed her away as arge rock fell from above, hitting him squarely on the head.


    n!” Maja quickly tore a strip of cloth from her clothes, pressing it hard against his wound.


    But the blood kept on flowing.


    Maja’s fingers were trembling as she tried to cover his head wound and bang on the door at the same


    time. “Open up! Open up!”


    The earthquake continued, with no ce to take cover. Another rock might roll down any time.


    She quickly wiped off the blood on her hands and tried entering the password again and again.


    “Invalid password.


    “Invalid password.”


    “You have one more try.”


    Maja’s hand was shaking even more as she heardn’s faint voice. “Maja.” He didn’t even have the


    strength to stand up, just leaning against her. Maja’s tears fell thick and fast as she held him, staring at


    the digital screen in front of her.


    “Maja, it’s okay. The earthquake will be over soon.” His voice was barely a whisper, his head resting


    against her chest.


    Maja’s hands were covered in blood.


    “Stop talking.” She bit her lip, her swollen eyes fixated on the door in front of her


    Ian gave a smallugh, but winced in pain. “If I don’t say it now, I might not have the chanceter.


    Maja.”


    But something suddenly appeared in Maja’s mind. She typed in a string of numbers. “Password


    correct. Password correct.


    The iron door slowly opened, and she stood there, pale as a ghost. Ian seemed just as surprised. How


    did she know the password?


    As soon as Maja came to her senses, she helped him up and headed outside. At least it was spacious


    outside and there wouldn’t be any rocks rolling down. But many trees had fallen, and the earthquake


    continued. Nowhere was safe, even without falling rocks, a falling tree could crush them just as easily.


    n, hang in there.”


    Ian remained quiet from the start.


    Maja felt a lump in her throat, nning to help him climb over this small slope, to find a more level


    ground. But suddenly, there was a loud explosion from the forest, followed by the sound of rushing


    water. She looked up in surprise and saw andslide, with floodwaters carrying trees and soil rushing


    down the mountain. Almost instinctively, she heldn tightly in her arms.


    The next second, the flood swept them away. Just before they were swept away, Maja felt a warm


    touch on her lips.
