A hand reached over and patted his shoulder as the person comforted him, "He's just giving you psychological pressure. Stop looking at it." Nathan looked over at William, who was sitting beside him. Indeed, William and a group of men from the Cannon Family were accompanying him around the world to look for Hilda other than Nathan's own mercenaries. The infamous international fugitive, Hex, had resurrected and snatched away Hilda and her unborn baby. Since Nathan was once in the military, the military had specially approved a special task force led by William to rescue Hilda. Nathan glanced at William but remained silent. After suffering from so much torture, Nathan became numb until he couldn't be bothered by anything. However, he didn't expect that William was the one stepping in this time. In the face of real distress, the little grudge that was once there didn't seem worth mentioning anymore. They traveled around the world and struck out several times for the sole purpose of ge
Anthony was holding a small baby girl who had just been born, she looked absolutely filthy, and her umbilical cord was still intact. Anthony pinched the baby girl as though she was a toy and said smugly into the camera, "I have good news and bad news to tell you, Nathan." Still in a daze, Nathan watched the video and stared blankly at the baby girl who was still attached to the umbilical cord. Is that my daughter?! Hilda has given birth to a daughter for me! Unfortunately, the baby's eyes were closed, she didn't even cry or move as Anthony rocked her around like a hairless little monkey. Anthony continued, "The good news is that your wife gave birth at 5:23PM tonight. Congratulations, it's a girl." Shortly after that, he teased in a ghastly voice and said, "Unfortunately, she was not breathing when she was born. Your wife also died of amniotic fluid embolism. I'm currently at a hospital in the small town of Mustka, if you rush over now, you might still be able to see their rema
If he could, he would give anything in this world to end this endless dream. He felt like his head was splitting apart as he ruthlessly banged his head against the wall. It seemed like it was the only way he could end this nightmare. When he could finally wake up, he'd be at his home in Taadi City with Hilda sleeping soundly by his side, just like how they used to be. "You crazy b*stard, what are you doing?!" Kyle rushed over and pulled him back with the help of several other people. As Kyle looked at Nathan crying with a kind of desperation he had never seen before, he didn't know if tears or blood would be running down from the latter's bloodshot eyes the next moment. It was the belief of finding Hilda and the child that kept Nathan going for the last 100 days and nights. Now that Hilda and his child were both dead, all of the courage and faith within Nathan collapsed within a single night, nothing else could support him anymore. All of a sudden, a baby's loud cry pierced thro
Meanwhile, a nameless town in Africa sat in the middle of a desert. It was very much out of the way. There weren't any resources available, nor was it a place of strategic military importance. Miraculously, the war hadn't spread to this town, so it remained peaceful and harmonious for the time being. However, the violent atmosphere of its surroundings still affected this land with each passing day. The situation in this town became increasingly tense, drugs were rampant, and violence kept increasing day by day. The owner of the only bookstore in town was a lady. Businesses that made the most money in such circumstances would always be hospitals, funeral homes, and shops that sold firearms. The bookstore barely had any customers, but it had been operating for many years. Meanwhile, the beautiful lady had been here for two years. The light from the setting sun shone into the bookstore through its French windows, warming up several bookshelves that seemed to have existed for decades.
After a long time had passed, Hilda woke up and found herself trapped in a cramped space. She struggled desperately to climb out when she saw a flicker of light in front of her and finally freed herself out of it. However, she soon realized that her house had collapsed and the town was ravaged by the burst of war. She looked up with her poor eyesight and felt even more dizzy and lightheaded. There was also a long, bleeding wound on her arm. The peaceful town had become war stricken as buildings were torn apart and almost all of her neighbors' houses had been destroyed by something. Cries of despair and roars of anger sounded throughout as the survivors ran desperately out of the town. "The rebels are here to slaughter the town!" She heard the locals running away frantically as their cars raced out of town. Glancing back at the collapsed bookstore, she realized that she could no longer save all those people that had taken care of her. They were crushed inside forever. In a chaoti
Hilda could no longer keep her eyes open. She slowly closed her eyes and fainted at the side of the road. The passersby saw the fainted Hilda, and they knew she was infected when they saw her ulcerated skin. They all avoided her, as if she was some kind of monster... It was 12:30PM. The Taadi citizens were done gathering, and several buses were already waiting by the door. The citizens got onto the bus excitedly, waiting to be evacuated. In the midst of all the turmoil and chaos of war, the foreign nations' ambassadors escaped before the people did. The traffic system was down, and there were battles everywhere. People couldn't go far without planes or ships, they could only wait for death. Foreigners who didn't have a strong nation helping to evacuate their own people would have the same destiny. There was only one foreign battleship still stopping for its people at the harbor nearby, waiting to bring their people back home. But no one realized that there was a young life slipping
Juliana's eyes brightened. Right! The Jordan Group has control over Africa's minerals, ammunition, and runs the largest bio pharmaceutical company in Africa! They might have discovered the cure for Virus 23! I just won the Academy Award for the Best Actress last year and have gained some fame internationally. They might help me! "You can leave. I won't leave her here." Juliana told her team after she had made up her mind. She then left with Hilda, ignoring her assistant and team's anxious pleas. The helicopter they rented was still parked on the square, and she knew how to fly it. It's around a thousand miles from here to the Jordan Group. It won't take long.. Juliana helped Hilda onto the helicopter resolutely and helped fasten her seatbelt. Hilda's eyes were half closed, and tears fell from the corner of her eyes. Juliana could hear her soft whispers between her lips. "Why bother....?" She didn't know Juliana, but she could figure out that they might have used to be best
Juliana's car ran over those burnt corpses, making some scalp numbing crackling noise. After a series of confrontations, Jordan Castle opened its gate. The gate dropped on the moat, forming a bridge. Several cars drove out from the castle, and quite a number of men wearing chemical protection suits came down to clean the battlefield. There had been outsiders coming to the castle recently. They were either desperate small forces or civilians infected by the Virus, asking for help with their last breath. The people from the castle never showed any mercy to those seeking help. They just left them to die. Layers and layers of rotten corpses were piling right outside of the castle, letting out a pungent smell. The bones of those who died from Virus 23 would be corroded by germs, and even stray dogs wouldn't go near them. The people from the castle would come out from time to time to clear up the corpses. They would burn those dead and living but infected people to death. War required
