The training instructor nodded.
Wynona walked into the mountains with Maisie and cordially looked at her. “You’re Maisie, right? I’m Wynona. I’ve been in the camp for a year. Nice to meet you.” Maisie smiled back politely. Wynona asked, “Did you volunteer to come to the training camp?”
Maisie didn’t deny it but instead smiled and said, “I’m here for a test.”
“Oh!” Wynona nodded, looked at her, and didn’t say anything more.
They were surrounded by trees deep in the woods, and it was difficult to see the path. Newbies were usually arranged to go with a veteran from the camp, which was why Wynona was in a team with her. She didn’t suspect anything. “How far is the camp?” Maisie looked around. She couldn’t help but feel that they’re getting deeper into the woods. Wynona walked behind her and averted her eyes when she asked. She said, “Not far, soon, about 10 minutes.” Maisie didn’t think anything of it. But after ten minutes, they were still circling in the forest and hadn’t caught a glimpse of the campgrounds. Maisie started suspecting. “Are we going in the right direction?” When Maisie turned around, Wynona was nowhere to b e seen.
Maisie paused and looked around. “Wynona?”
Other than the sound of birds and bugs, there was no reply.
Maisie looked at her surroundings and frowned. If Wynona had been in the camp for a year, she would have known the way to the camp, unless… she did this intentionally.
However, Maisie hadn’t offended Wynona.
It didn’t matter if Wynona did it intentionally or was just lost. What Maisie had to do then was to find Wynona.
At the campgrounds…
When the training instructor did a roll call, he realized two people were missing. He frowned and looked at those that were there. “There are two missing.” “Sir, the newbie and Wynona are not here,” someone replied.
Raven scanned the crowd and didn’t see Maisie.
Francisco seemed to have realized something, and his eyes turned dark. Wynona suddenly appeared alone.
The training instructor walked toward her when he saw her huffing and puffing. “Where’s the newbie?”
Wynona looked sorry. “I wanted to come with her, but she ignored my orders and insisted on going toward the north. I couldn’t stop her.”
The north! Everyone’s expression changed! That was the restricted area of Swallow County! The camp was on the southern side of Swallow County, and the north was restricted because the forests there were undiscovered and unprotected. That was where wild beasts would appear. Only those who had a death wish would go in there. Francisco walked toward Wynona. “Stop joking. Why would a newbie like her ignore your command? You probably left her there.” Wynona was taken aback by how Francisco suspected her because of a newbie. “Francisco, I didn’t, 12″
Francisco ignored Wynona’s answer and said to the instructor, “Sir, I think we should send someone to look while we still have daylight. It’s going to be tough when night falls.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Even though the training instructor looked unhappy about it, he knew he wouldn’t want to be held responsible if a newbie entered the restricted zone.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke to the people in the main camp. “Send a search party. Yes, someone entered the restricted zone and needs to be rescued.”
