NovelOnlineChapter 1267 Quinn didn't even have tto react before everything spun around her. By the tshe got her bearings, she was already leaning against a rock.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Alexander asked, his voice low and serious.
Quinn stared at him, confused. "Where else was I supposed to go?" "Didn't I tell you to wait?" Alexander shot back.
"Sean brought people, and I'm the only one here," she said, biting her lip. She had followed Sean, and now she was stuck.
The forest alone was way scarier.
Alexander sighed, glancing over his shoulder to keep an eye on the shadows moving behind them. It was quiet, but he could see movement out of the corner of his eye. Quinn whispered, "How's your injury?" Alexander was about to answer when suddenly, beams of white light from motorcycles appeared in the distance, and the sound of drones buzzed overhead.

The assassins immediately took cover and shot down the drones, and the motorcycles cto a halt.
Without warning, the two groups started fighting.
Quinn asked in surprise, "Your guys?" Alexander squinted and grabbed her hand. "Let's go." Quinn was super confused but followed him, stumbling as they ran.
The sound of gunfire faded as they got further away.
Since Alexander was running so fast, it seemed like the newcomers weren't his men either. Quinn was even more puzzled. Who were these people? After running for what felt like forever, Alexander finally stopped and sat down against a tree.
It was too dark for Quinn to see his condition, so she squatted down and reached out to feel him.
"Are you badly hurt?" she asked.
Alexander grabbed her wandering hand. "I'm fine. Don't worry," he said.
His tone was serious, not his usual teasing. He was genuinely trying to comfort her.
This wasn't the tto worry about such things. Quinn asked nervously, "You don't know those people?" "No," Alexander denied.
"Who are they? Why do they want to kill you?" Quinn asked again.
If the first group was Landon's people, then who was the second group? If there was no threat, why did Alexander run? Alexander chuckled, his hoarse voice coming from the darkness. "There are plenty of people who want to kill me." He seemed oddly optimistic.
But Quinn couldn't share his optimism. Not knowing who the enemy was made her realize how dangerous this place was. They could die at any moment. As they spoke, the faint sound of helicopter blades cfrom overhead.

"Yeah," Alexander said, standing up and grabbing her hand to keep running.
This forest wasn't as dense as the previous one, so the leaves couldn't hide them from the helicopter's En cameras.
In the sparse woods, any movement would be clearly visible to the drones above, even if they lay on the ground.
So whether they stopped or kept running, it didn't make much difference; they would still be discovered.
Quinn was gasping for breath as they ran out of the forest and back to the place where the cars had blocked their eir way. Several cars were parked haphazardly there. Alexander led her to the middle of the cars and pulled her to the ground. "Get in," Alexander commanded. "Get in where?" Quinn asked.
"Under the car," Alexander said, giving her a push.
Quinn gritted her teeth and crawled under a car. She was well hidden, but Alexander didn't cin.
