Chapter 702
“Do you think those two are still alive?”
One of the men leaned against the car and lit a cigarette. The other two were still sweeping their flashlights around, but they agreed with him.
“No way. But the boss said we have to find the bodies.”
They were all helpless.
Just yesterday before dawn, the bus had exploded, taking the lives of six of their men. Wasn’t that enough?
The device had already begun its countdown when Spence personally led his men onto the bus-only because someone he had trained with his own hands, Noah, was inside.
No one knew what went wrong, but suddenly several people bolted off the bus. Seconds later, it exploded.
At the scene, only three people made it out alive: Noah, Spence, and another man. The other men who failed to get off in time died on the spot (1)
Taking advantage of Spence being injured and their comrades dead, Noah fled in panic with that man.
Spence’s men drove after them and caught up at the broken cliff above. Because Spence wanted them captured alive, they fired warning shots. No one expected the two fugitives to jump without hesitation.
There was a river below, but it was shallow. No one could survive that fall.
Yet, when they waited for Spence to wake up and report back, they were harshly reprimanded and ordered not to return unless they confirmed the men were dead.
But in a place like this, even finding remains was nearly impossible.
“How about we just say… wild animals dragged them away? Not even bones left.*
“Sounds good. Worst case, he’ll send another team tomorrow.”
After a brief discussion, they didn’t linger. Pulling their jackets tighter, they quickly got back into the cars and drove off.
When the engines faded into the distance, a faint rustle finally came from the treetops near the river’s
source.
Noah propped himself up and dragged Nick over to lean against a tree, then turned and went to the river to fetch water.
“Nick, wake up. Wake up!”
