NovelOnlineChapter 1271 Quinn sat there, frozen like a deer in headlights, just staring ahead, totally forgetting to move.
The drones up in the sky suddenly did a 180, all zeroing in on them.
The man turned around too, and the blinding light made it impossible for Quinn to see his face. He stared right at them, and for a split second, Quinn felt like she locked eyes with him. "Go," Walter suddenly barked.
Colin didn't waste a second, whipped the car around, and floored it, speeding off into the night.
The drones were right on their tail, bullets pinging off the car with sharp cracks.
Those drones were relentless, like they were hell-bent on catching them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFollowing Walter's directions, Colin veered off towards a remote area, diving into a forest. It was the sforest Alexander had been to before, but they took a different fork in the road. After what felt like forever, they finally managed to shake off the drones, the thick trees blocking their view.
Walter told Colin to stop. He yanked the car door open, dragged Quinn out, slammed the door shut, and told Colin to drive deeper into the woods.
He pulled Quinn into the underbrush. After a few steps, he pushed her down into the grass.
Meanwhile, a bunch of drones buzzed overhead, one after another.
After a couple of minutes, the noise faded, and the forest went back to being eerily quiet.
Walter sighed, got up from the ground, and pulled her up too.
Quinn was like a puppet, letting him move her around.
"Should we go back and check it out?" Walter asked.
Quinn slowly lifted her head to look at him.
Too bad it was so dark she couldn't see his face.
"Okay," she croaked. Her voice was so hoarse, if it weren't for the dead silence of the forest, it would've been almost inaudible.
Walter grabbed her hand and started walking back. The road was long, and it would take them at least two hours to get back. Quinn stumbled behind him, her mind haunted by the image of Alexander falling.
As they got closer, the road seemed to stretch on forever. She was both desperate to get there and terrified of what they'd find. Her mind was a chaotic mess, filled with a million thoughts.
They both stayed silent the whole way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen they finally got there, it was pitch black. The lights were gone, and even the burning cars had quieted down, reduced to smoldering ruins.
Walter pulled out his phone and turned on the flashlight to light the way. Quinn noticed the bodies along the roadside-they were Sean's men. The further they walked, the weaker Quinn's legs got. Eventually, she just stopped, too scared to go any further. Walter turned to ask her, "What's wrong? Scared to keep going?" Quinn closed her eyes and stayed silent.
Walter let go of her and walked ahead alone to check things out.
Quinn watched him go, bit her lip, and eventually followed.
There was a slope here, leading down to a wasteland with sparse grass, barely enough to hide anyone.
To her surprise, when she followed m the light and looked there was nothing below.
