Chapter 261: Chapter 258: Attacked from All Sides
Night fell.
The last ray of sunlight disappeared over the desert.
Under the cloak of darkness, the carriage was illuminated.
It was Elliana Lyle’s "space suit" glowing.
For filming purposes, there were some small light bulbs on the suit.
At night, the carriage had never been this bright, bright enough to make one feel warm.
Earlier, she had already used a piece of glass to cut the rope open, but she accidentally cut her hand in the process.
Primarily, Savanna Windsor just sat there dazed, ignoring her completely, and she didn’t understand why.
Now that she was free, she felt completely relieved.
Inside the carriage, she didn’t dare to stand and walk because it would make noise, so she crawled around to observe.
In the corner of the carriage, where it was the only place with daylight during the day, she found that the metal was rusted there.
Along with a foul stench, it made one not want to stay for even a second.
Finally, she sat down beside Savanna Windsor, and after a long while, she asked, "Do you know Shane Southwell?"
Savanna Windsor glanced at her before lowering her head again.
"Let’s chat, nod if you know, shake your head if you don’t."
After saying that, there was no reply for a long time.
Savanna Windsor was like a puppet that wouldn’t do anything without someone pulling the strings.
She couldn’t even move her arms.
She didn’t know if she could be Savanna Windsor’s puppeteer, but she wanted to try, even desired to give Savanna Windsor "life."
"Why not try again?" she asked.
Only then did Savanna Windsor lift her head, with a hint of fear in her eyes, scooting back before daring to look at her.
Finally, she began to write on the ground.
Stroked slowly and then looked up at her.
She...
...didn’t understand...
(●—●)
Perhaps because they were face to face, so she leaned towards Savanna Windsor saying, "Didn’t understand it earlier."
Savanna Windsor: Who are you? Why do you keep asking me these?
Upon seeing this, she realized that Savanna Windsor was wary of her, given she had asked quite a bit these days.
Perhaps she truly wasn’t good at interrogating people.
She couldn’t divulge what she was investigating, as doing so could heighten Savanna Windsor’s wariness.
After thinking for a bit, she sighed and said, "Nancy is my classmate, heard she joined Roland Company, then I also entered Roland, and ended up here."
Savanna Windsor furrowed her eyebrows before shaking her head, writing on the ground: I know them.
"Then do you know where Nancy is now?"
She had asked this question many times before, and each time Savanna Windsor shook her head, as was the case now.
Accompanied by writing the words "Don’t know."
She stared into Savanna Windsor’s eyes, trying to discern something.
But clearly, nothing could be seen, perhaps Savanna Windsor truly did not know where Nancy was.
After all, at this time, there was no need to deceive her.
"What about them? Did they also come out from Roland?" Saying this, she looked towards the quiet women.
Savanna Windsor once again shook her head, writing: Don’t know.
She must save these people, she must, once rescued, everything would be negotiable.
The truth would be revealed to the world.
...
Midnight～
A full moon hung high, its cold light piercing through the surrounding clouds, barely sprinkling some onto the sand.
Outside the carriage, there was only the occasional sound of wind and the sound of the iron door being struck.
Savanna Windsor was desperately pounding on the carriage door, which quickly alerted Blackie and a henchman with yellow hair to come over.
"What are you knocking at this time of night?" Blackie opened the door, shining a flashlight on Savanna Windsor.
Only to see Savanna Windsor excitedly pointing to a dark corner, whimpering something unintelligible.
When Blackie directed the flashlight over, he discovered someone was missing!
A chill ran through his heart as he immediately sprang into the carriage, finding a large hole in a foul-smelling corner.
The rusty metal sheets had split apart, the hole was big enough for him to crawl through!
"Damn it! She’s run away!"
Blackie and his henchman dared not delay, immediately starting to search outside with their flashlights.
"Blackie! Look!"
The henchman was the first to spot a glowing figure running in the distance, then disappearing into a sand dune, but the glow remained.
"That damn woman! Running away!" Blackie was furious and immediately chased after her.
The henchman followed closely behind.
Upon reaching the sand dune, they saw the woman collapsed on the ground in the distance, Blackie sneered, "Run! Go on, run!"
Said as he approached.
When picking up the clothing, it was surprisingly light!
Which caused him to fall backward unexpectedly!
"Ouch!" After falling, because the back wasn’t flat ground, he rolled straight downhill!
Seeing this, the henchman panicked, thinking it over, he still chased down, too eager and rolled down as well!
Luckily it was sand, the two of them were unscathed, Blackie grasped onto an empty piece of clothing, clenching his teeth in anger!
At the same time.
Elliana Lyle had already slipped back into the vehicle, retrieving a small knife from the front of the open vehicle door, she untied everyone inside.
Originally intending to escape by driving the truck, but after searching the driver’s seat, she found no keys there.
She could only start by freeing everyone.
After untying everyone, not one stood up to run, all sat there dazed, seemingly as if they hadn’t been wound up.
Including Savanna Windsor.
Two hours ago.
She had already noticed the exploitable gaps in the corner of the carriage, especially where the rusted metal was crumbling.
In the dead of night, she began kicking the metal sheets with her foot.
To avoid making too much noise, every second was tormenting, and it took a full hour and a half to make a sizable hole.
The hole didn’t need to be that big, just that she... was a bit disgusted.
Though at such an urgent time, such matters shouldn’t matter, perhaps it wasn’t that urgent after all.
Before she left, she instructed Savanna Windsor on something, about twenty minutes after she left, Savanna Windsor started calling for help.
Unable to track time, she just kept counting.
She had planned it out; in the darkness, glowing objects drew more attention.
Leading people to overlook other areas.
Her task was to use the glowing clothes to lure people away, then run back herself.
In fact, she accomplished this.
Watching people stupefied and sitting, she felt both anxious and furious, yet had nothing to say.
Telling them to run, yet lacking the strength, running seemed futile.
Outside, flashlight beams began appearing, scaring her into fleeing from the carriage.
Sure enough!
The two returned!
Their return was unbelievably quick, making her heart lift into her throat!
In panic, she had to initially head to the driver’s seat, after searching for a long time, she only found a small fruit knife and a crowbar hidden beneath a seat.
Pure iron, a bit heavy to hold, didn’t feel handy.
But if she didn’t take this, what else could she use for protection?
After preparing, she hid behind the carriage, tightly gripping the crowbar, she was ready to fight to the death.
After all, where else could she run to?
In this vast desert, the options were to die of exhaustion, hunger, or thirst.
Searching the driver’s seat for a long time, she couldn’t find any communication devices, so running wasn’t an option.
A few minutes later, the sound grew nearer, and the flashlight beams as well.
