Chapter 568
My mind was all over the ce when the man showed up with a gun in my face. I couldn’t figure out the
reason he was aware of my presence when I had sneaked my way through the isted desert. The
moment the man saw me, he got down on his knees and announced with a hushed voice, “Yvonne,
hurry up and check on Christopher! He has passed out due to dehydration!”
“Huh?” Upon another glimpse at the man in front of me, I found out he was none other than Zachary.
Thus, I urged, “Lyle, hurry up ande over here!”
The moment I rushed to the giant boulder, I saw an unconscious Christopher on the ground. I couldn’t
stop my heart from racing as I yelled, “Christopher, wake up!”
I ced his head on my thighs and tried getting him to finish the water I brought along with me. As he
was unconscious, I ended up feeding him to ensure he would remain hydrated. Once I ensured he had
enough, I started sprinkling water all over him.
When Lyle returned to us with Zachary, I found out Zachary was heavily injured. We were merely apart
from one another for a fortnight, but the initial muscr man had turned into a scrawny figure.
Unable to remain calm, I asked, “What are we supposed to do? We need to rush all of you to the
hospital since the antibiotics I have with me aren’t going to work!”
“He wouldn’t have passed out had he not left the water to me!” Zachary started ming himself and
ended up falling to the ground.
“You need to stop getting worked up since you’re also heavily injured!” I handed Zachary the antibiotic
pills I brought along with me and crushed another two to sprinkle them all over the wound on his leg.
Once Lyle craned over and surveyed the surroundings, he suggested, “We’re not far away from the
oasis! I’m sure we can get ourselves the medical attention we require once we reach there!”
Without a second thought, Zachary rebuked, “No, John has brought along a lot of men with him since
he’s determined to take us out! I’m sure he’s waiting for us there! We’re done the moment we show up
and dance to their tune!”
I took a peek at Christopher and found out he wasn’t as frail as he was a few minutes ago. Thus, I
asked in a hushed voice, “Shall we return to our initial location?”
Zachary remarked, “I’m afraid that’s impossible as well since he must’ve dispatched his men to stop us.
Christopher’s exceptional marksmanship is the only reason they’re not here.”
Once I finished inspecting the resources we have, I asked, “If that’s the case, what are we supposed to
do when the supplies we have won’t evenst us for more than two days!”
Upon another inspection of the possible alternatives using the map, Lyle announced with a frown, “I’m
afraid we’re trapped since we’re also going to lose our way if we continue venturing into the ind
desert.”
In a final attempt to get the party rescued, I reached for my phone to try out my luck with getting in
touch with others. Unfortunately, we were out of range of the reception towers.
When I thought it was the end of our party, Zachary announced with his eyes gleaming, “As long as we
have a phone, Christopher can deliver a message to ourrades!”
Halfway through his orated speech, he let out a long sigh when he recalled Christopher was
unconscious at the moment.
All hell broke loose since we couldn’t think of anything to get ourselves out of the nasty situation. The
onlybatants of the party were heavily injured when we were surrounded by a bunch of viins.
I’m just d they’re not trying anything rash at the moment since Christopher has put on quite a fight
and proven himself a formidable foe!
I let Christopher spend the night in the sleeping bag I brought along to prevent him from catching a
cold. Out of nowhere, I saw someone shing a beam of light in our direction from afar.
Immediately, I asked in a hushed voice, “What are they trying to do?”
Zachary announced with his face scrunched up, “They’re closing in to trap us!”
