Chapter 699: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (41)
Just like what they had predicted, the hole was big enough to squeeze his body inside, for a while, it was like a narrow tunnel, where Zale had to crawl on his knees and elbows before he found a wider area like a cave. He was bringing luminous pearl with him, so he could see inside.
"Who... who is that?" Joel asked hoarsely, it had been three days, if it was not more, they were trapped inside. Thankfully, from the crack on the rocks, there was water dripping. It must be raining outside, but then what they drank was the black water from the strange rain.
Though it was questionable, but they didn’t have many options if they wanted to survive.
"Joel, is that you?" Zale asked, he followed his voice and found Joel was leaning his back against the rock. He closed his eyes because the light from the luminous pearls hurt his eyes.
"Drop it..." he said, he tried to avoid the bright light.
"Oh, sorry." Zale put the luminous pearl in the center, which enough to illuminate this small place like cave, making the light was dim enough for Joel to open his eyes. "Are you okay? Where is the other?" He looked around, but he needed some time to adjust his sight.
"Celia is in that corner, please check on her and take her out of this place first." Joel then pointed his finger to his left. "Aliana... Aliana is there, please, check on her..."
Zale didn’t waste his time and went to check on the little girl, who was barely breathing, her body was very hot and blood oozed out from her nose and mouth. She had been sick all this time and what happened now only worsened her condition.
Meanwhile, Aliana was in critical condition, her healing ability was able to let her survive, but it couldn’t be said that she was safe right now, so did Joel, though his condition was only slightly better than the other.
Zale had to think really hard because it was tricky to get her out from the small tunnel when she was unconscious like this.
"Wait, I will be back!" Zale said, as he crawled back outside.
