I sat there, listening to them chat nonstop. It was a very dark night, and just two small lamps, like fireflies, were lit dimly out of dread of being found. It was so dark that there was no way to see far ahead! However, I was aware that I was surrounded by our people.
After a while, Atlas walked towardsand reached out his hand. "We need to get closer. Can you still walk?" "I can!" I insisted.
I grabbed his hand and stood up with his support. He huggedand said, "You've worked hard!" I leaned my forehead against Atlas's chin and then strode forward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI should be thanking everyone here. They had been here day and night for a long time, walked this path countless times, for my father's sake. What right did I have to whine? What right did I have to pity myself? However, it was physically taxing for me-I had never done a hike like that before.
Atlas always mentioned that I needed to exercise more after our intimate moments. I used to refute him resentfully, but now I admit I lacked exercise.
Dylan led us to climb a small hill. It was already stuffy and lacking oxygen in the forest, and climbing the mountain madefeel like my lungs were about to explode, almost unable to breathe. I was panting heavily.
Atlas crouched in front ofand said, "Cup!" I quickly pulled him up and said, "No need... slow down, I'm... fine!" "Con! Listen to me, it'll be faster this way!" He persisted.
I saw everyone looking at me. I was delaying the progress. I quickly took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm fine! Let's go!" Then I walked ahead quickly, and Atlas had to hold my hand again and pullforward.
When we finally reached the top, everyone cto a stop. I took a seat on the ground.
Everyone clambered over to the brink, peering down. It emerged that there was a rather sizable stronghold inside a sizable mountain basin encircled by mountains on all sides and a single outlet.
At this moment, it was even darker. I asked Atlas, "What tis it?" "5 a.m." This was probably the darkness before dawn. Lights were dimly visible below, but it was hard to see anything else.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Is this... Navi's base?" I still asked Atlas as I panted.
Atlas wiped the sweat off my forehead. He nodded and patted my head in distress. "Yes, this is his base below." "... It's large," I sighed.
"This was originally a village, but Navi discovered it. Because it's surrounded by mountains on three sides, it's easy to defend, so they chose this place," Dylan whispered to me. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAtlas asked Dylan, "How much longer until the agreed time?" "It's already time," Dylan responded, "But there's still no news!" Atlas muttered, "Navi should have arrived! But this tis when people are most vulnerable, so there might still be stime!" "If we still can't find it, there's only one possibility..." Dylan glanced at Atlas and said, "Underground!" I understood Dylan's meaning. He meant that there might be underground facilities here.
"In fact, I've considered this, but if it's underground, it's only possible to be under the main building. Ordinary people can't get close to it at all!" Dylan said.
"It seems we'll have to wait until dawn!" Atlas said.
Suddenly, the screen of Dylan's phone lit up. He quickly unlocked it, and an urgent voice entered my ears, "... Gone! I don't know..." After hanging up the phone, Dylan looked at Atlas and whispered, "Loak is missing! And someone from the organization has entered the territory. I suspect Navi wants to make a final decision!" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAtlas frowned, "It seems Navi is waiting for someone. He should be waiting for instructions from inside!" I saw Atlas's subordinates clenching their fists understood it to mean that he wants to make a final negotiation with the organization, weighing the value of both sides. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesUMS That is to say, there was a significant danger regardless of Navi's decision if my father was not found before he made the decision.
"It seems tis running out," Atlas said softly.
