Chapter 770
Nina saw the boy fiercely tearing at the flag with the ominous symbol.
She walked over and said, "Your hand is seriously injured. I couldn't find effective medicine, but I can disinfect it with iodine for now. Otherwise, you might lose your hand. And taking your anger out on the flag won't help.
"It's just a piece of cloth."
The boy's eyes flashed with a fierce determination. "One day, I will cut off Pharaoh's head!"
His grandmother, younger siblings had been killed by Pharaoh's men. His father had been taken by them and was still missing. He hated Pharaoh with every fiber of his being.
"I don't like him much either, but you need to get better first," Nina told him.
The boy looked at her, puzzled. "Did Pharaoh's men kill your friends and loved ones too?"
"No," Nina replied. "But he has done some terrible things that have affected my life."
The boy scoffed, "They have no humanity."
Nina had already witnessed it, shattering her previous understanding of the world. Until Pharaoh was stopped, there would be no peace.
"You must know the area well. Do you know where they are based? Will you come with me? It could be dangerous, so think it through," Nina said as she applied iodine to the boy's hand and wrapped it with gauze.
The boy looked at her with curiosity. "You're going to find Pharaoh?"
"No, Pharaoh is looking for me," Nina said calmly. Given that he was looking for her, taking the risk made sense.
Besides, Scarlett was in their hands. As a hostage, Nina could infiltrate and gather information about Nash, as well as relay messages to the outside. It was the quickest route.
She was also deeply curious about Pharaoh's true identity.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
The boy didn't speak immediately. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go."
The village had been thoroughly
looted, and all the villagers were dead. There was nothing left. The boy had already cremated the villagers' bodies, leaving nothing behind to hold onto.
Nina followed the boy into a forest. It was midday, and the heat was oppressive, made worse by the dense forest. After a short distance, she was drenched in
qui Without
food or water, she was quickly running out of energy. She leaned
against a tree, gasping for breath.
"Wait here," the boy instructed before walking off without waiting for her response.
Nina had no choice but to wait. She checked the time and it was already past 3 §.m., and her phone was nearly dead. She also heard rustling noises, giving her an eerie feeling. Nina instinctively took cover.
But the boy was quicker.
"Watch out!" he shouted, pushing her to the ground. She saw the boy grab a snake with his bare hands and slam it against a tree. Red berries were scattered on the ground.
In no time, the snake was dead. The boy tossed it aside and picked up the red berries. "Eat some of these to hydrate. There's a village ahead."
"Thanks," Nina said.
The scene of the boy catching the snake with his bare hands was deeply imprinted in Nina's mind. She hadn't expected him to possess such skills.
Then again, living in such an environment, wilderness survival skills must be second nature to him. In a forest like this, a bite from a venomous snake could be fatal! Even though Nina hadn't been bitten, she was still shaken and frightened.
She forced herself to eat two of the small red berries he had given her, but she couldn't eat any more. The fruits were slightly sweet at first, but left a bitter aftertaste.
