Chapter 427 Fall into Pit
Receiving no answer, August showed impatience in his eyes.He eyed Director Brook.He remained silent.
However, the dominance shown through his eyes gave Director Brook formidable pressure.
Director Brook took a gasp.
"Director Mitchell is still in the mountain."
His words changed August's expression.
"What?"
Questioned August.
Director Brook looked nervous.He was reluctant to but he had to answer.
"We were together when we departed.Then, she said that she wanted to find other sites suitable for our film, and she separated us alone.When we came down, she is still in the mountains."
In an instant, August exuded an icy aura.
Frowning, he shot his glare at Director Brook.
Director Brook knew that he was wrong.He hurriedly apologized, "President Adams, it's all my bad, my negligence..."
Before he could finish apologizing, August had turned around and ordered with a dark face, "Send men to the mountain."
The rain was so heavy that the world seemed to be covered in a gauze of rain that could blur men’s vision.
In the heavy rain, Gransend Mountains in a distance looked somewhat grim.
August darkened his face.He frowned at Gransend Mountains.It was like looking for a needle in a stack of hay.
At this moment, Director Brook and Viola hurriedly went forward.
"President Adams, we know the way.Let us help find Director Mitchell!"
August cast Director Brook in silence.
Then, he got in his car.
Minutes later, their cars arrived at the entrance of Gransend Mountain scenic spot.
After explaining to the staff, August led his men into the mountain.
In the afternoon, the crew climbed the hillside road.
Now that the rain made the road too slippery to walk, they had to take the stairway.
When they reached about halfway up the mountain, Viola pointed at a direction and said, "There! That's where we pitched our tent!"
Hearing this, August looked over.
Without an extra word, he immediately walked up the stairs and walked over there.
The rain showed no sign of stopping.
They were all drenched even though they were all wearing raincoats.
After arriving at the spot mentioned by Viola, August found traces of tents and disordered footprints.
Brow knitted, he asked, "Which direction did she go to?"
Since they had found the tent spot, they would have to follow Lucia.
They might find something.
Viola pointed at a direction.
"That way."
August strode forward at Viola's words.It was slippery, but his steps were big and hastily.He didn't mean to slow down.He felt so uneasy and so anxious to find Lucia.
In such weather and environment, if Lucia ran into any danger...He didn't dare to imagine.He walked faster and faster, and, before long, he had left all his men far behind.
Mountain tracks and heavy rain were nothing to him.He had gone through training to overcome such environment.
But he was still afraid.He was afraid that the woman might be unable to withstand the extreme environment.
Meanwhile.
Lucia didn't know how long she had been in a coma.
When she gradually opened her eyes, she found herself lying beside a giant tree with pain all over her body...
If it wasn't for the tree, she might have rolled down and died.
Lucia gasped.She slowly sat straight and leaned against the tree, panting.
The tree with luxuriant foliage, could keep out the rain and wind.
However, she knew that she couldn't linger for too long.
After all, in a thunderstorm, she could be doomed if the tree was struck by lightning.
Lucia looked around in an attempt to find nearby places that could shelter her from the rain.
However, she only found a slightly tilted rock that could barely provide shelter.
It was the best choice.She then hid herself at the back of the rock.She didn't find one leg of her trousers had been ripped until she felt a tearing pain in her calf.
Blood was oozing out of her wound.She took out her phone, which showed an extremely weak signal.She felt somewhat desperate.She couldn't imagine what would happen if she was to be trapped here for the whole night.She didn't know how long she had been hiding under the rock, but she did know that she was drenched and felt cold.She took out some compressed biscuits from her bag and took several bites.
However, she still thought that she lacked calories.
At this moment, she heard a voice amid the rumbling rain.
She heard the voice clearly and found that it was approaching.
It was really a voice from a person rather than the noise from non-human beings.She was overjoyed and wanted to spring to her feet.
However, when she exerted strength, her calf felt a strong pain, which made her feel limp and almost fall.
"Lucia Mitchell!"
The voice was getting closer to her.
When she heard clearly what the person was shouting, she was surprised.
Someone is looking for me! She gritted her teeth and stood up.She shouted back, but her voice was drowned out by rain.
"Lucia Mitchell!"
The sonorous call was heard again.She somehow felt the voice familiar.
When she heard the voice again, she suddenly realized that it was August's voice.She stood up regardless of the pain in her calf and trotted towards the direction from which the call came.
"I AM HERE!"
She exerted all her strength to make a response, and eagerly and anxioulys searched for the figure in the mist of rain.
"Lucia Mitchell!"
August's powerful voice sounded again.
Lucia knew that they were closer.
Suddenly, Lucia saw a vague figure appearing not far away from her, which, like a light giving her hope.
August also noticed her.
When they met each other's eyes, they both felt relieved.
They both trotted towards each other, both showing joy in their eyes.
Closer and closer, they were each other's support and hope.
Unexpectedly, Lucia took a slip and fell to the ground.
She screamed and slid down the slope! The slope was much steeper than the one she rolled down before.
In addition to the heavy rain, the surface got muddy and frictionless.She slid down at a fast speed.
Suddenly, August rushed over and held her in his arms.
They rolled down the slope together.
With a "bang", they directly fell into a huge deep pit.
Being smashed heavily to the ground, Lucia took a long time to recover from her dizziness.
She then found August being pressed under her.
Startled, she hurriedly crawled aside.
August, frowning, and lips pressed, looked pale.
Lucia was concerned.
"Are you okay?"
August shook his head and managed to prop himself up. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He looked at the top of the pit.
Apparently, men dug the pit on purpose.
He said, "It's a trap made by hunters."
The situation became less optimistic.
