Capítulo 13: If You Dare, Come Follow Me!
During the following process, it seemed that the experience of this prisoner had sounded an alarm in the hearts of others, and such a tragedy never occurred again.
After about ten minutes of climbing, most of the people were not far from the top. Lin Kun, who was the fastest, shouted loudly and quickly climbed to the top!
Successfully escaping the danger!
"Hurry, hurry!"
Lin Kun's success seemed to bring some motivation to the others. In the face of death, they all climbed faster, unleashing unparalleled potential. Successively, more prisoners reached the summit with the help of Lin Kun, breathing heavily and laughing ecstatically.
Climbing up this cliff meant that they had almost escaped the threat of the base guards. Even if the guards chased them here, it would be in vain!
A few minutes later, almost half of the prisoners had successfully crossed this deadly barrier. Chen Chong had climbed to a height of about ten meters, with only six or seven meters left to reach the top. With broken ribs and an arm almost useless, it was a miracle that he had come this far. However, his physical strength was near its limit.
"This won't work."
Feeling the growing sense of urgency, Lin Kun, who stood at the top, saw that Chen Chong's climbing situation was much more difficult than the others'. He immediately shouted to the prisoners beside him:
"Take off your shirts! Tie them together and pull Chen Chong up!"
"Okay!"
The people at the top, who were already safe, acted without hesitation, quickly taking off their prison clothes. Just as they were about to tie several pieces of clothing together to pull Chen Chong up...
Boom. Boom. Boom.
A dull sound, as if a giant beast was rushing, faintly came from the entrance of the cave more than ten meters away. Every prisoner was startled and stopped what they were doing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound grew louder, more urgent, and closer, even overpowering the gurgling sound of water. At the same time, a roar filled with boundless fury, resentment, and ferocity echoed out of the cave with the mountain wind:
"Chen... Chong...!"
"It's Johnson!"
Upon hearing this voice, Chen Chong, who was still struggling on the cliff, suddenly turned pale. He looked up and realized that the six or seven meters distance to the top seemed like an insurmountable obstacle at this moment!
In an instant, Chen Chong took a deep breath as if he had already made some kind of decision. Instead of climbing up, he suddenly loosened his grip and leaped down from the ten-meter-high cliff!
Bang! The immense potential unleashed by the super god water gave Chen Chong unparalleled balance. He landed with slightly bent knees, using his right arm to support himself, barely stabilizing his body, but his face was pale.
Immediately after, Chen Chong looked towards the cave entrance more than ten meters away. As he landed and looked up, a figure as sturdy as an iron tower, with unparalleled ferocity, rushed out. It was Johnson, the captain of the guards who had activated his "Berserk Transformation."
Having just emerged from the cave, Johnson paused at the entrance and, after adapting to the suddenly strong sunlight, took in the panoramic view of the valley. In an instant, he locked onto Chen Chong, who was just about a dozen meters away from him, and his expression became ecstatic!
"Ah! It's Johnson!"
"They are chasing us!"
"Chen Chong!"
The prisoners still climbing on the cliff shouted in fear, while Lin Kun and the others, who noticed that Chen Chong had voluntarily landed, immediately turned red with anger!
"I've found you..."
Ignoring the numerous prisoners still climbing on the cliff, Johnson casually turned his neck, making a crackling sound like a creaking iron tower. He stared at Chen Chong like a bloodthirsty beast, his gaze extremely cruel.
"Are you sacrificing yourself to buy time for your fellow inmates? Admirable spirit of sacrifice..."
A gentle breeze blew. On the ground, Chen Chong and Johnson faced each other, separated by more than ten meters. Chen Chong stood up, squinted his eyes, and scanned Johnson and the dim cave entrance behind him.
At this moment, Johnson's muscles swelled exaggeratedly, expanding a whole circle larger than the image Chen Chong had in mind. He looked like a deformed giant, incredibly exaggerated, clearly using some special ability. Johnson being an Awakened was within Chen Chong's expectation, but fortunately, the rest of the guards hadn't arrived yet. This could be considered a stroke of luck for him.
"..."
Chen Chong forcefully exhaled, his eye twitching, feeling helpless.
The reason he made the split-second decision to jump down was not because he possessed some noble quality of self-sacrifice, but because he didn't anticipate that Johnson would be so much faster than he expected!
Chen Chong knew very well that among so many people, he must be the target of all of Johnson's hatred. He had no ability to climb up before Johnson discovered him. If he hadn't immediately jumped down just now, he would have become a defenseless target, but landing gave him a glimmer of hope!
However, now his physical condition was extremely poor, and seeing Johnson's swollen body and bulging muscles, even if he were in a good physical condition, he wouldn't have much confidence, let alone now with one arm almost useless.
"You trash, why aren't you continuing to climb?"
At the entrance of the cave, Johnson's oppressive body steadily approached Chen Chong, his face wearing a smile filled with vengeance, cruelty, and satisfaction.
"Don't worry... I won't kill you quickly. I will entertain you properly. First, I'll break the bones of your hands and feet, leaving you unable to resist, just like what you did to Dr. Catherine."
"Then, I'll bring you back to the base and let Lord Deris judge you. Believe me, at that time, you will know what true hell is and regret why you came into this world, then repent for your sins in endless pain!"
Chen Chong's gaze turned ice-cold, slowly stepping back. "You alone?"
"Hahaha..."
Johnson keenly sensed Chen Chong's physical condition and burst into laughter:
"Are you proud of defeating someone with a research background and a woman like Dr. Catherine by giving up one injury for another? How foolish! Even among Awakeneds, there are differences in strength. In my eyes, your strength is not worth mentioning, especially now that you're just a wounded waste! Killing you will be as simple as killing a chicken!"
However, facing Johnson's imposing approach, resembling a bloodthirsty beast, Chen Chong remained silent. His gaze was calm and indifferent, devoid of any fear, but instead displayed a ferocious smile!
Then suddenly, he lifted his arm, clenching his fingers tightly, and slowly, heavily dragged it across his throat! It was a throat-slitting gesture filled with a gruesome scent of blood!
As if mocking silently, Johnson immediately recalled Catherine's tragic state, his eyes turning bloodshot!
But before he could pounce on Chen Chong, after making this throat-slitting gesture, Chen Chong turned without hesitation and ran like mad! While running, he laughed loudly:
"Johnson, if you dare, come follow me!"
And at this moment, the direction Chen Chong was running towards was none other than the "Mist Zone" marked as extremely dangerous on the map, not far away!
