Noah said, "Let’s not talk about anymore. Let’s hurry u p and see if we can get to the next county before night falls."
"Noah, listen to me,” Jane, who was on Noah's back, said gently, "Listen to me, Noah. Let’s hide in the mountains. The deeper the mountains, the better."
Noah immediately shook his head. "No, Jane, that won't do. You are in need of nutrition now, so how can we hide in the mountains?"
Jane laughed. "Previously in South City, didn’t we also live in the mountains? The air in the mountains is good, and there are wild fruits and wild chickens. During the day, you can wander around and hunt nearby. We can survive."
Noah was speechless.
While walking and talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of Noah's mother, who also agreed with Jane’s proposal.
With that, the three of them hid in the mountains once again.
However, the mountains in the north were different from the ones in the south. The climate was warmer i n the south, so there were many wild fruits in the mountains. However, the northern mountains were barren. Other than big icy rocks, there were also small
sharp stones.
It was still fortunate that they actually found a cave.
This cave was also just enough to fit them.
Noah simply got some dried grass from outside and laid them on the ground as a mat for his mother. After that, he made another one for Jane as well, so the both of them could rest for a moment.
Noah, on the other hand, went alone to wander around.
However, no matter how much he wandered, he still could not find any food, let alone any tools to start a fire for cooking.
His old mother and also the pregnant woman could only go hungry. 1
That was not all.
The three of them had barely spent the night in the cave. Early morning, the following day, Noah planned t o descend the mountain and go try his luck on the road.
In the end, just as he arrived on the road, he saw a row of almost 50 black cars slowly driving over.
Each time they had passed a particular distance, someone would get out of the car to observe and search everywhere.
They did not even dare to speak.
They just waited quietly for the whole day. The veil of night had almost fallen, but the three of them did not dare to move. Jane could actually fall asleep as they leaned against each other in the cave. When she woke up, she then thought of her own child, Aino, and also Sabrina.
She had also thought of Alex.
Jane did not know why Alex would be so persistent in finding her.
Was it because of those one million dollars?
Did she not already give it to Lily?
What exactly did he want to do?
Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, Noah asked her the question he had been holding onto for the whole day. "Jane, is that incredibly powerful man the person you talked about? Has he deployed such thorough plans here and also in the previous county just to find you?"
Jane answered truthfully, "Yes... He must be here to capture me."
