Chapter 138 Helpless Situation



Justin led the group through the tunnel with the assistance of Mack. They rush forward in a light sprint. Those at the back realized how dire the situation was for them to be running.

Boom!

A deafening sound came from the back and debris and dust came from the tunnel ceiling. The crowd panicked as they urge their feet to move faster.

"How long?" Justin asked.

"A couple of hundred meters to the East," Mack said as he stared at the map seriously. His face was filled with beads of sweat.

The crowd was panting as they tried to catch their breath. They wanted to take a short break but no one dared to say a word.

Boom!

Another deafening sound echoed from behind. But this time, it was closer than before. Those that wanted to rest before threw the thought out of their mind as they ran with all their might.

Chloe panicked as she skimmed through one book to another. Her hand was trembling as she read the book. Vera who was standing beside her was confused and nervous when she saw Chloe's behavior.

"Miss Chloe…" Vera whispered.

"Hmmm," Chloe answered without raising her head from the book.

Seeing this, Vera creased her brow not sure of whether to ask what was on her mind or not. But the miserable cry that came from the back shook her heart to the core.

"What are you searching for? I can help you search for it?" She said quickly.

"Search for anything relating to a train engine among the pile of books." She answered absentmindedly.

Vera froze for a moment not understanding the bizarre request. What could train engines do with their current situation? She thought but didn't question her as she dug into the hundreds of books.

Ah!

Sergio's miserable screams echoed in the tunnel, sending shivers to the heart of the people. Although the line of people was moving at their best speed. Yet, the battle was closing at a breathtaking speed.

Justin creased his brow. He wanted to retreat to join the battle. But his instinct was telling him not to leave the forefront. He didn't know what was ahead but he knew it wasn't something ordinary people could handle.

"We're almost there," Mack shouted in happiness.

Mack's shout brought Justin out of his thoughts and he stared ahead. Albeit there was only darkness ahead. But the temperature in the tunnel was quite different from before.

"The tunnel to our right will lead us directly there," Mack announced.

Justin nodded as they took another tunnel to their left but only to be accosted with darkness. Justin creased his brow but kept quiet.

'We need your help right now.' Susan's voice echoed in Justin's head.

'Can you hold on for a couple of minutes?' He asked.

Justin didn't receive a response for a couple of seconds and he began to worry.

'We will try…' Susan's tired voice finally echoed in his head.

On hearing Susan's tired voice, Justin realized the situation was not looking good. He wanted to rush back to save them but the danger ahead stopped him from leaving.

He urges Mack and the others to move faster. Meanwhile, Mack was getting restless. They should already be seeing traces of railroad by now but nothing of such appeared. He stared at the map as a bead of sweat dripped on the map.

'We are already at the location, why is it not here?' He thought in panic.

Justin could sense his conflicted emotions and he asked. "What is the problem?"

Mack looked at him bitterly and said slowly.

"We are lost."

Hmm!

"What do you mean!?" Justin raises his voice by an octave. What the hell is happening? His thoughts were jumbled. The danger was approaching from behind and the people were on the brink of death and their only hope was the train yard. But now, they are lost.

Lost!

He shook his head not believing what was happening. He snatched the map from Mack's hand and stared at it frankly. Everything was going wrong.

Ah!

Grandpa Philip's miserable scream came from the back followed by Susan's scream.

"This is bad!" Nasir shivered as he looked in the direction of the scream. He couldn't fathom what those people were passing through.

He looked ahead and saw Justin staring at the map. He couldn't sit still and rush forward.

He arrived at the forefront and stared at Justin and then at Mack. What the hell is going on? Why are we not moving? He shouted in his mind. But after a few seconds, he could hold it anymore.

"Mack, what is going on?" He asked.

"Get me Chloe!" Justin shouted.

Mack and Nasir looked at each other before Nasir rushed to call Chloe. Chloe rushed forward with nervousness as she stared at Justin.

"We've arrived at the train yard location but it is nowhere to be found," Justin said with a solemn voice.

Hmm?

Nowhere to be found?

She snatched the map from his hand and looked at it seriously. She adjusted her glasses with trembling as a drop of tears dripped from her eyes. She was drenched in guilt. How could this be? How?

She shouted in her mind. But she couldn't find any reasonable answer.

"Are we truly lost?" Justin asked. He couldn't believe what was happening.

Chloe raised her head from the map and looked at Justin's face not knowing what to say. The situation was tense as no one could believe what was happening.

Ah!

Susan was panting seriously as a stream of blood dripped from the corner of her lips. Her long purple robe had been torn into pieces and her hair disheveled.

A couple of feet from her were people laying in a pool of blood. Among those people was Grandpa Philip. His pole lay beside him covered in blood. A chunk of muscle is scattered on the ground.

Huh!

Merab struggles to stand up with the help of her bow as she limps forward. A deep cut appeared from her collarbone down to her waist.

She looked at a couple of giant ants in front of them and shivered. This was the dangerous threat they faced so far. She couldn't fathom the bizarre ability of the ants.

She looked at Susan with appreciation. If not for sacrifice most of them would have long been dead. But when she thought about Sergio's death she felt bitter.

She looked in a certain direction and saw Sergio's mutilated body. His body munched into pieces as his innards', and bones, scattered everywhere.

She sighed bitterly and limped forward. To kill the Blood Sucking Ants. They sacrifice a lot.

The massive dead body of the blood sucking ants gave an intimidating feeling though it was dead. While a large hole appeared above their hole.

The deadly ice was falling through the space and the temperature was dropping rapidly.

'I need to move them quickly.' She thought as she limped toward Susan.

Kree!

A deafening sound came from the distance and the lantern eyes of Blood Sucking Ants appeared from the distance.

Seeing this, Merab took a couple of steps backward, her brain fuzzy. Her muscles tensed and her legs turned to jelly.

"This can't be happening. This can't be happening!" She shouted in misery.

They were all exhausted with gruesome injuries. She wanted to call for help but their she couldn't leave those injured behind.

Suddenly, Susan eyes twitched as she opened her eyes slowly. She felt the oppressive atmosphere and looked at the distant.

When she saw the Blood Sucking Ants; she gnashed her teeth and wanted to stand but the ghastly injury on her chest gushed out blood and cry escaped from her lip.

She fell back and shook her head. She looked around and shook her head. If Justin didn't appear now. Everyone of them would be killed by the incoming Blood Sucking Ants.

'We need you now' She said through their soul link and lose consciousness.

Seeing this, Merab panic and rushed to her side. She checks her pulse and found her she had only loose consciousness and sigh in relief.

"I guess this would be our end." She thought and sat beside Susan.

Boom!

A deafening sound came from their back and the tunnel shook vehemently. Merab blinked her eyes twined and wondered what the hell was going on Justin side.

However, when she saw the Blood sucking ants almost at their location. She sighed and forget about what the was happening on the other side.

"It's time to rest"

"I guess this would be our end." She thought and sat beside Susan.

Boom!

A deafening sound came from their rear and the tunnel shook vehemently. Merab blinked her eyes twined and wondered what the hell was going on Justin side.

However, when she saw the Blood sucking ants almost at their location. She sighed and forgot about what was happening on the other side.

"It's time to rest"
