Jane nodded. Alex held Jane's hand, trying to strengthen the girl.
"Hey, trust me. We're not going to die here."
Once again Jane nodded before Alex finally left her. There was a strange feeling in the girl's heart when Alex held her hand. Without a smile growing on her lips.
'Darr!!'
An explosion not far away suddenly made Jane's smile disappear. Alex had set off a firecracker. Sure enough, the three guards rushed over to the firecrackers. Two other guards looked out from inside the tent.
Jane could see Alex starting to run from the swaying leaves, prompting the three guards to chase after him. The other two guards looked at each other and entered the tent. Soon they came out with long guns.
It scared Jane. After all, they are just virtual humans. Of course, there will be no mercy. She could imagine having to die at their hands.
She glanced at the virtual watch. Fifteen minutes remaining. The girl took a deep breath and let it out. She didn't want to waste her any minutes and of course, Alex's courage.
Jane took out a firecracker from her bag. Turn it on and quickly leave that place. Run to the back of the tent. Soon after, the firecrackers she lit let out an explosive sound. Surprised the two-guard men and approached him.
Jane immediately ran to the tent and got inside. Close the curtain again so as not to suspect a tent. Jane began to comb the room, looking for things she needed to take and put in the places indicated in the letter.
No clues. Making it difficult for the girl, having to look for things that she doesn't know what things are. The sound of the footsteps of the two men drew closer. It made Jane, who was still searching, afraid of being found out. She immediately looked for a place to hide and found a table covered with cloth. Jane immediately went under the table to hide.
The two men now entered the tent. there was only one door to escape, which was the door through which he entered the tent. Jane could hear their conversation.
She was there for several minutes. Her position makes her legs feel cramped. She tried to find a comfortable position by shifting her body.
'Brukk!'
'Prang!'
Jane had accidentally swayed the table where she was hiding and dropped the bottle. Causing the two soldiers to turn their heads towards the table. Jane's heart skipped a beat when one of the guard men stood up and walked towards her.
Jane held her breath. It doesn't budge even if it's only an inch. The closer he got, the more Jane felt the tightness of her breath. She slowly closed her eyes to minimize the fear.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Just as the man was about to remove the cloth covering the table. A man in a brown uniform came. Carrying an object wrapped in black cloth in his hand. The other guard who was sitting earlier immediately stood up respectfully.
"Nothing, sir."
The man walked into the tent. Jane slowly opened her eyes, peering through a small hole in the curtain. There's nothing wrong with that. He must be the leader of the guards here.
He put the object in his hand on the table. They are surrounded by that stuff. Jane could see even though her position was hidden. The cultivator's gift opened the black cloth that covered it.
A sparkling red stone. Jane immediately guessed that was the difference she had to take and carry to her final destination. But how about it. One teenage girl against three men is impossible.
Suddenly her mind drifted to Alexandro. Worried whether the boy is okay. Jane didn't want to think badly, but on the other hand, was afraid that the spelling guards might catch her.
"Take good care of this thing. I'll be right back. If you do anything fatal, I'll kill you."
"Aye, sir!" they said in unison.
The leader walked away from the tent. After the leader's departure, one of the guards came out into the bathroom leaving his friend in the tent.
Jane let go of her bag slowly. Don't want to repeat the mistake. Opening it carefully so as not to make a sound, took the rope in the bag. Luckily the guard was sitting with his back to Jane, so he didn't see the girl sneaking out from under the table.
Jane quickly wrapped a rope around the man's neck and strangled him. He had grabbed Jane's hand and head. Squeezed Jane's ear until it bled. But the girl did not give up until finally, the resistance of the guard began to weaken, and finally fainted.
Jane was breathing heavily. Her ears were sore and bleeding. But this is not the time to complain. She took the bag and put the red stone inside it.
"Hey, who are you?!"
Just about to leave, a guard who had left the tent was already standing at the entrance. Seeing his comrade passed out with a rope around his neck, made the man immediately know what had happened. He growled.
"You bastard girl!"
