At that moment, the view ahead became increasingly blurry, and her vision grew dimmer. With nightfall in the jungle, the cold wind brought a chilling and ominously heavy air that sent shivers down her spine. She staggered on, chasing after the figure of the soldier ahead.
Stumbling, swaying.
Suddenly—
"Ah!"
What in the world?! Shu Shuang felt the ground beneath her feet growing softer. As she tried to run, her body began to sink, inch by inch, as if weightless, her feet unable to pull free from the mire. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank...
Her hands were bound, and she flapped helplessly like a bird with broken wings, unable to fully thrash even in her dying moments.
"Help... glug, glug... help..."
Her cries for help were buried in the mud one after another, and just when her ears were nearly submerged, suddenly, a fragmented voice reached her faintly—
"Damn, it's a swamp!"
"Erlengzi, notify the captain at once, I'm going down to save her!"
"Rock!"
