Chapter 1049

This was their final mission in Serpent's Haven, and they had to take the risk to ensure their survival. This was their one and only chance. Everyone clenched their fists, waiting for Adrian to give them his final order. He turned around and looked at Flynn. "I need you to stay behind with Lucas. I'll contact you once we have news." Flynn nodded, not objecting to his instructions. After that, Adrian finally said, "All right. Based on what I heard earlier, the plane is somewhere to the north of us. Let's all get there as quickly as we can. “Are you all ready?" "Ready!" Everyone replied. "Let’s go! Ha-hoo!!!" Steel, Blaze, Ivy, Gloria, Mya, and the others dashed toward the north as quickly as they could. They split into five squads with a buddy system in place. Since moving around in large numbers would attract attention, they were to move through the rainforest in pairs, making it easier for them to conceal themselves from their enemies. Gloria was the fastest among them, disappearing from sight almost instantly. Meanwhile, Adrian took off only after the squads were gone. Moving through the boulders and bushes, he swiftly entered the rainforest, disappearing deep inside soon after that. The squads were completely dispersed, all of them rushing toward the north. This was their final chance at survival, so nobody was allowed to give up. Ten minutes later, everyone was passing through the rainforest through various routes, with Gloria racing past like a streak of lightning. She said through the communicators, "Be careful, everyone. I found enemies in hiding at point 516.28. I'm not sure how many of them are there, so it’s best to avoid that place entirely." "Enemy sighted at point 372. Steer clear/" "Same here at point 681." Everyone was communicating enemy intel through their communicators. When Adrian heard all this, he said, "Looks like we made the right decision judging by the number of enemies laying in wait. Their plane has already landed, and they’ll take off once everyone from Dragon Peak boards it. "Everyone's hopes of going home alive rides on our shoulders. We have to crush the Eight Hollows' plans no matter what!" "Yes, sir!" "Yes, sir!" Everyone was in very high spirits, eagerly waiting for this to come to a close. *** On the vast plains to the north of Serpent's Haven stood a temporary base built of rocks and tree branches. Judging by the scale of the base, it looked like it had existed for at least a decade. There were no large mountains around the plains, nor were there trees to be seen for a few hundred miles around. A small airport was built across the plains, where a plane was parked by the side, waiting for its passengers to board.
