Adrian said, "You've made the right choice, but at the same time, you've also made an error. Do you know what that is?"Klause lowered his head. "You shouldn't have left Lucas there.""But our comrade might've been in the airdrop container. We couldn't just stand aside and watch whoever's inside be in danger. Sir Lucas was going to do the same thing as well. None of us were okay with giving up a person's life."Adrian placed his hand over Klause's shoulder. "I’m not blaming you.” He then turned around and said, "Alan, calibrate our directions. We're heading north to meet up with Lucas and Steel as soon as possible.""Yes, sir." Alan took out his equipment to calibrate the direction they were in.Meanwhile, everyone else got prepared.Alan then pointed in a direction and said, "That way, sir." Adrian immediately said, "Blaze, Eira, Mya, Ivy, take six people each and head north, south, east, and west. Maintain about a three-kilometer distance from us and stay alert.""Yes, sir
Adrian and the others headed for the mountain stream Lena mentioned, while Gloria called out to the others through her communicator. All the airdrop containers had communicators inside to help the stranded get in contact with the main unit. Meanwhile, Crystal instructed her technicians to keep track of the containers' locations. Every container had its own GPS so that headquarters could track them at a moment's notice. Soon, all of the airdrop containers' markers showed up on the screen."Draco, I've sent all of the markers for the airdrop containers to your equipment.""Thanks."Adrian responded and turned on the device on his wrist, which showed every single marker around him. He remained silent after that and sped toward the stream.***At that moment, near the endless stream in Serpent's Haven…A flurry of footsteps could be heard coming from the forest, followed by two figures rushing out from within before landing in the freezing stream"Argh!" one of them yelled miser
Berserk became elated and carried Ridge on his back. "Wyvern Peak must've been the ones who made that airdrop last night. Hang in there, Ridge. We might just get out of this!"Berserk carried his comrade and headed for the airdrop container one step at a time, but tripped and fell due to extreme exhaustion. Still, he pressed on, crawling on the ground with Ridge on his back. His hands were cut by the razor-sharp rocks, but he did not seem to be in the slightest bit of pain. Meanwhile, Ridge was fading in and out of consciousness. His thigh was completely infested, and he would not live for much longer if he did not receive treatment soon. "We're almost there, Ridge. Stay with me. There might be antibiotics in the container. We've got a fighting chance if we can get there to collect weapons and resources!"Hang in there. Remember that your fiancee's waiting for you to go home!” Berserk continued to talk as he crawled.Ridge's consciousness started to fade as he sat on Berserk's b
"Ridge!"Ridge!!!"Berserk's shouts could be heard from the direction of the rainforest stream. Ridge was laying on top of Berserk in a daze. He was close to dying from the infected wound on his thigh, plus his high fever. He was not aware that the woman he loved was waiting for him to go home."Hang in there! Just hang in there! We're almost there! Just a little more!!!" Berserk kept on yelling."Arghhhh!" Berserk's cry of despair seemed to give him power. Despite carrying Ridge on his back, he resolutely stood up and dashed for the airdrop container, which contained all of their hopes.‘So close! We're getting closer!'"There they are! I want them alive!" someone suddenly shouted, followed by more than twenty men charging out of the bank behind them. Berserk turned his head and saw the enemies getting closer, yet he paid them no attention. Instead, he took a deep breath and finally arrived at the container. Meanwhile, Ridge was almost passed out.In a panic, Berserk pu
"You b*stards… I'm going to kill all of you!" Berserk yelled before maniacally unleashing his weapon against the enemies crossing the stream.Bang! Bang! Bang!!!Several enemies fell onto the ground from the sweeping gunfire. But, some of them responded in time and found something to hide behind. Due to their immense numbers, a few of them tried to flank Berserk while the others covered them. Just as Berserk was about to jump out and launch another barrage of attack, a gunshot was heard, followed by his arm being pierced. With a “Boom,” the exploding bullet blew his arm off."Aaaaaargh!"Berserk screamed at the top of his lungs as he rolled across the ground. He looked at his arm and veins appeared in his eyes. Forcing himself to withstand the pain, he got back on his feet and fired his gun, killing two enemies. Now that his magazine was empty, and Berserk could not reload, he hurled away his gun and fell limp to the floor, looking up at the sky with empty eyes. He turned aroun
Adrian froze when he heard this.The rainforest was filled with bacteria, so Ridge's wound will surely be reinfected if they were to amputate him there. On the contrary, he would be given the death sentence if his wound was allowed to deteriorate any further.Everyone began to panic, but no one could come up with a solution. Adrian got on his knees before Ridge, realizing how dire the situation was when he saw the condition of the man’s thigh.Ridge was still half unconscious and his eyes were glazed over. He was in really bad shape."What should we do?" Lena asked urgently.In such a situation, not even Adrain could save Ridge, no matter how incredible he was. 'There are only two options right now. We could take care of his wound and leave his survival to fate. He may have a chance at surviving this if we go with this method. If we amputate him right here, he will die.'Adrian did not seem to have much of a choice at that moment. Meanwhile, Mya spoke through the communicator
Lena was a biologist and had done research on several major islands in the past. Adrian carefully scanned the terrain when he heard her words.'The stream feeds into a lake up front, and there are a lot of boulders on the opposing shore, making it an ideal place for an ambush. We'll have to follow the stream if we want to get past the lake.'Lena's right. This lake seems calm but is filled with all sorts of dangers.'"We're going to the opposite shore to lay down an ambush. Everyone, be careful when crossing the river, and make sure you aren't stepping on something you shouldn't be. Avoid accidents at all costs," Adrian said. "Yes, sir.”"Yes, sir." Everyone nodded, while Lena said, "While passing through the stream, we’ll come across a type of algae in the water. Please gather some. They serve as excellent antidotes for the vipers in this area."Everyone kept Lena's words in mind. Without hesitation, Adrian was the first to cross the stream, while the others followed. The
"Adrian!" Nyssa screamed."Sir!" "Sir!"The water swirled violently, causing big waves as Adrian drowned within. Everyone panicked when they saw this. Alan put Ridge down and was about to jump inside, but Gloria stopped him."Don't! Everyone, hide. We must have faith that Adrian will be all right. Mya, you need to hurry. The enemies are approaching!" Gloria yelled.Mya stood in a daze, watching the water return to its calm state. After taking a deep breath, she hastily led her men to the opposite shore. Everyone ducked behind covers when they arrived.Mya brought a few snipers with her up a hill for a better vantage point. At that moment, they were all silently watching the calm waters. Suddenly, a huge wave burst out, and Adrian emerged, carrying a huge alligator in his arms after being underwater for three whole minutes. The alligator's mouth had been torn apart and it was bleeding profusely. It was clearly dead. Everyone cheered when they saw him."I'm so glad you're a
