Chapter 167 I’m here

The silence that followed made her breathing rate increase significantly, and her dirty chest and face were shaking as she moved up and down.

After the silence, footsteps suddenly sounded by my ears.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Caroline's breathing became heavier, she covered her lips tightly, her eyes were already filled with fear, and tears burst out of her eyes, but she was still sober. She pressed her body against the tree trunk and groped down with her right hand, and found a small branch.

It seemed that this completely invulnerable branch was her only weapon and the source of strength she could rely on.

"Let's fight!" Caroline took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

As the footsteps got closer and rang in her ears, she suddenly raised the branch and smashed it towards the black shadow that appeared in front of her.

But just as it was about to hit her, her hand was suddenly grabbed and stopped in mid-air.

Then, a familiar voice sounded, filling her with surprise.

"Can you leave?"

When he looked closely, the shadow in front of him showed the original face of the soldier.

He was wearing a helmet on his head, and the pulled-down Four-Eye Perception Mask covered the upper half of his face, making it difficult for her to see clearly. But through the close proximity and the faint red light, she could see the lower half of his face, which exuded determination and looked like a sculpture.

"Huh?" Yorks frowned when he saw Caroline still in a daze. He didn't have time to continue wasting time with this woman. If it was really necessary and he had to leave someone behind, he would definitely abandon this woman and run away with his family without any hesitation.

"Yes!" Caroline heard the impatience in the voice and said quickly after waking up in shock.

"That's fine. If you want to live, follow me." Yorks immediately ran towards the RV.

But what made him feel uneasy was a muffled sound and a painful sound coming from behind him.

Glancing back, he saw that the woman had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up and was afraid of being abandoned by him.

"Oh, that's all."

York turned and strode towards Caroline. Through the night vision goggles, he clearly saw the swelling and bloodstains under the other person's bare feet. He had been alert to his surroundings before, but had not noticed it.

It seems that the other party was able to run before because of his determination to survive and the amazing hormone burst.

Now that it has stopped, it has become weak.

Under these conditions, it is really difficult to keep up with his speed.

"I'm sorry, I..." Caroline struggled to stand up and said subconsciously as she watched the man approaching.

However, before she could finish, the man had lowered his body, put his shoulder on her lower abdomen, and put one hand around her waist and lifted her up by force.

Caroline's upper body fell on the man's broad back, feeling his steady and fast pace, her eyes widened.

But for some reason, an extremely strong sense of security began to fill her heart.

She suddenly wanted to cry.

Yorks didn't know what the woman on his shoulders was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He just frowned and thought about what to do next.

Now, the alarm at one hundred meters has not been sounded yet, and it is obvious that this place is still some distance away from the deformed people's territory.

"Not bad news." York thought to himself and ran quickly towards the RV.
-
"What was that sound just now?"

At this moment, the mood in the RV was a bit impetuous. Although the dull gunshots that reached here were very small, the clearer sounds were indeed very clear.

For the first time in this trip, the carefree Lillian showed a worried look on her face. The person she looked at was her second brother, Furl, who was also frowning.

"It sounds like gunfire." Ful said in a deep voice, looking at the direction of the sound, the dark forest, and the flare high in the sky.

"The person who came really had bad intentions! Otherwise, York would not have opened fire, and that was a flare, conveying a message to someone. It's possible that the person who came needs support." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the RV became very depressing.

Irina gritted her teeth slightly and stared at the direction of the sound. She was mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that the feeling Aunt Valerie described was unexpectedly quite torturous.

In just a moment, rich images of York's accident began to appear in her mind, each image was different, so she felt a little weak all over and cold in her heart. It was hard to imagine how Aunt Valerie had persisted for so many years.

Just when she was about to do something, she suddenly saw a black shadow that did not look like a human appear from the other side.

At this moment, everyone in the car held their breath.

Only Full quietly grabbed the pistol that had been tucked into his waist.

His grandfather, father, and eldest brother were all from the police station, so how could he not know how to shoot? On the contrary, he was very familiar with it. Only Uncle Graham despised him very much, so his grandfather kept scolding Uncle Graham and turned to teach him how to use a gun.

As the distance got closer, the atmosphere became more solemn.

But when the distance got closer, the black shadow also appeared under the bright moonlight.

"It seems to be York." Lillian said in surprise with her eyes wide open.

"Wait, he's carrying someone."

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Irina had already let out a long breath, and a look of great surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Open the door quickly," she said.

Ful also relaxed his whole body and hurried to open the door. Just kidding, he was good at shooting, but he couldn't handle such a thing.

Even if something really happens, even if he is extremely scared, he will still deal with it, but it feels so damn good to have his backbone reappear.

Full relaxed, opened the car door, and looked at York who was striding towards him.

At this time, it could be seen that York was carrying a woman.

"What's going on?" asked Ford.

"Let's talk about it later." Yorks shook his head, walked into the car, and placed Caroline casually in the middle hall under the gaze of everyone.

What made him speechless was that the woman fainted for some unknown reason.

"You don't faint when you should, but faint when you shouldn't?" York cursed in his heart. He originally wanted to get more information from Caroline's mouth.

Yorks did not bother about this kind of thing. After all, human beings have their end. Like Caroline's state, when a string breaks, it is normal to faint. He was not surprised and walked straight to the driver's seat:
"Ful, wake her up!"

Ful nodded and moved towards Caroline. Although he didn't know what was going on, he decided to listen to his eldest brother first.

Lillian looked at her elder brother's solemn expression and sensibly suppressed the thoughts in her mind: "Don't you want those things outside anymore?"

Jessica looked hesitantly, looking around, and didn't dare to speak because she had said the wrong thing before.

Only Irina followed York silently.

When York sat in the driver's seat and was about to take off his helmet and the gun on his shoulder, Irina had already followed and sat next to him in the passenger seat, stretching out her hand toward him, and even Lillian came over from the middle.

Looking at the expressions of the two men, York smiled, handed the gun in his hand and the night vision helmet he had taken off to the two men one by one, and spoke gently with a smile.

"It'll be okay. I'm here."

　Actually, I have always wanted to update more often, and I have the ability to do so, but I have been really busy recently and I am so exhausted that I haven’t been able to sleep well at night. I hope I am a little lax, and please forgive me. I will definitely update more when I have time later.
