Chapter 282 Involvement

The entrance was blocked, I could only sense Daniel in front of me, anxiously calling out, "Mr. Monroe, are you alright?"

"Hmm!" A deep male voice came from above. Hearing his voice, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Bending over, trying to get up, a deep, restrained voice suddenly came from the side of his ear, "Hiss!"

Hearing Daniel's voice, I quickly spoke up, "What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"

Surrounded by pitch darkness, I could only clutch his clothes tightly and ask. Daniel's voice was somewhat low as he said, “It's okay, let's figure out a way to get out first."

This place was blocked off, there was no way out and no way in. Staying here for too long would inevitably lead to a lack of oxygen.

Without time to think, I groped around trying to find an exit.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to find some fabric. It was the place where we had rested the night before. The fire had been extinguished and buried, but not everything had been completely covered. Sebastian had moved a lot of things in last night, and I found the lighter by memory.

I lit a fire, found a few pieces of charcoal to ignite, and light appeared in the cave. I began to vaguely find my direction. I turned back to look at Daniel, seeing him still in his original position, I was just about to speak.

In the light of the fire, I saw his leg pinned under a large rock. It had been too dark before, I couldn't see his pale face and his forehead covered in sweat. Upon seeing this, I was completely shocked.

A sudden sinking feeling overwhelmed me. Without a second thought, I walked over to him. Looking at him, silently enduring the pain, a pang of distress gripped my heart. I opened my mouth to speak, "You..." Why aren't you saying anything...

Seeing me like this, he wiped his lips and said, "I seem to have no strength now. You try and see if you can move the stone. If you can't, then you... go find your own way out, don't worry about me."

I furrowed my brows, not bothering to talk more with him. I reached out to move the stone, saying, "I won't leave you alone, I'll move it even if I can't."

Having lived comfortably for too long, I had become spoiled. I couldn't even move this stone. But seeing Daniel's face growing paler and paler, my heart was in my throat. My intuition told me that he was not doing well at all.

Because, by then, he had already shifted from half-standing to somewhat lying down. His leg, which was being pressed down, was probably in pain, and his entire face was deathly pale.

He seemed to want to secretly exert force to pull his leg out, but the more he exerted himself, the paler his face became.

"Don't move!" I spoke, my voice trembling, "Your leg will be ruined if you do. Don't move, I'll figure something out."

In my panic, I searched everywhere for a usable tool, but there was nothing in this hole, absolutely no tools that could be used.

He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

Seeing him in unbearable pain, the anxiety in my heart grew increasingly intense.

When there were no tools, all a person could think of was to continue using brute force. Yes, brute force. He got hurt, but I was fine. I didn't believe that I couldn't even move a stone.

So I walked back to the stone that was pressing on Daniel, and once again, with almost all the strength I had, I swore I never knew I could move a stone weighing fifty to sixty kilograms in my life.

Almost the second he moved, Daniel shifted his foot. I moved the stone aside and hurried to check his injury, but before I could touch it, he quickly avoided me.

I paused, looking at him in confusion.

He looked at me, his expression saying, "Don't rush, we need to find the exit as soon as possible."

After his reminder, I realized that the oxygen in this cave was limited. If we didn't get out, we wouldn't necessarily die of hunger or cold, but we would definitely die of oxygen deprivation.

Holding a torch, I searched everywhere for an exit, but apart from the entrance we came in, there was no other direction. In the end, I could only think of the most foolish method, moving the stones blocking the entrance one by one.

Daniel seemed to realize as well, that we could only continue in this way. Shifting his body, he said, "Together, we will."

At this point, he was practically dragging his other leg along. I knew his leg must have been seriously injured, so I handed him the torch in my hand and said, "You hold this, I'll carry."

Afraid that he would worry, I forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I

will definitely get you out of here."

He gave a helpless smile, "So, you're protecting me now?"

I sighed and said, "Isn't it all because of me? You were sick and injured, yet you accompanied me into this mountain. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come here and suffered like this. Thinking about it, you probably never experienced such hardship in your life."
