On the forest trail, the pickup truck sped along the rugged road, with thick smoke billowing from the front of the car. Olivia held the steering wheel tightly, trying her best to avoid the pursuers. The vehicle was shaking so much that Jack couldn't help feeling dizzy.

The pickup truck finally escaped the pursuers' sight at a bridge hole, and after driving for a while, the car stalled. The two men quickly got out of the car, carried their weapons from the back of the car, and ran deep into the forest.

The ancient trees in the forest were towering, blocking out the sun. The sunlight shone through the gaps and cast mottled shadows on the ground. Jack and Olivia hurried along a winding path, trying to make as little noise as possible.

Ten minutes later, Voger and his team, who had cleared the roadblocks, tracked down the pickup truck.

"They are armed and hiding. We have to search them out on foot!"

Voger raised his submachine gun and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

"Are you sure this is a wise move?"

If Voge and his group hadn't acted so violently, they would have taken Olivia and the others back by now according to their plan. Smith, who was full of anger, suppressed his anger and looked at Voge:

"Carter turned the tables. He knew what he was doing, and that's why he went into the woods."

“What other options do we have?”

Voge looked back at Smith and said, "If you have any good ideas, I'm all ears!"

Smith said seriously: "You should have noticed that our numbers are gradually decreasing. We must regroup and gather more helpers! Wait until sunrise before going in. They are walking in the forest. After dark, we can't see them. They can't run far!"

"You better take this off!"

Voge turned around and grabbed Smith's tie and tugged it, then turned to look at the woman who was on guard: "Hayes, notify Marcus to go into the woods at dawn tomorrow!"

Looking at Voge's arrogant attitude, Smith gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.

The sky gradually darkened. In the forest, Jack and Olivia found a hill with higher terrain to rest. The two were exhausted. They had hardly had a drop of water since they had been escaping in the morning. The bushy forest made them suffer. The two found a relatively flat place, surrounded by towering old trees. The vines hanging from the trees were like black curtains, blocking their sight in the night.

Jack and Olivia sat on the ground, leaning against the tree trunk, and began a short rest. Olivia carefully helped Jack clean the wound on his body, and poured a bottle of disinfectant on the wound on Jack's arm, causing him to groan in pain.

Olivia looked at him and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

Jack gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

"I'm sorry, I'm not a nurse!"

Looking at Jack's grinning face, Olivia felt a little guilty. It was all because of her that everything turned out like this today.

"I told you to run away then... Why did you come back?"

Jack grinned and changed the subject.

"You should have understood by now that I don't listen to anyone else's orders," Olivia said in a lower voice. "Bring me that clamp."

Taking the clip from Jack, Olivia carefully helped him fix the bandage.

"Thank you!"

Jack put on his tactical vest and handed a cell phone to Olivia: "I found this, see if you can get a signal."

Taking the phone and fiddling with it for a while, Olivia shook her head: "I can't get a signal, I'll keep trying!"

After a moment of silence, Olivia looked at Jack and choked up as she spoke, "I should have trusted you from the beginning!... I walked into that police station... and now they're all dead... It's all my fault!"

"How can you be blamed for this?" Jack said, "It's not because those bastards were chasing you that they were killed. This is not your fault at all."

"Hey, wait!"

Jack turned around to find some tools, but was stopped by Olivia. Under Jack's puzzled gaze, Olivia pulled out a marker from Jack's pocket and wrote a URL on Jack's arm.

"what is this?"

"Here is the encrypted URL and my password,"

Olivia looked at Jack. "I have all the information about Genesis Security Enterprise. Half of the board of directors are involved... I only told you this, you know, just in case!"

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you! We will be safe and sound. After this is over, you will see how they will bring disaster upon themselves!"

Under the moonlight, Jack looked at Olivia's heavy face and comforted her softly.

"Thank you!"

Olivia smiled, with a faint gleam in her eyes.

In the darkness of the night, there were strange noises coming from the depths of the forest, as if some creature was approaching quietly. Jack raised his head alertly and looked in the direction of the sound with a sharp gaze.

The ambiguous atmosphere was interrupted, and a feeling of worry surged in Olivia's heart again. Olivia had no other ideas. The two of them walked slowly in the primeval forest under the moonlight.

"What should we do now?"

Half an hour later, the dull pain in her legs made Olivia unable to help but ask.

Jack explained: "We keep moving forward until our cell phones can get a signal. Our only option is to try to contact the Attorney General!"

Olivia looked at Jack: "What should we do?"

Jack shook his head. "I haven't thought about it yet..."

"Is it likely that we will die in this forest?"

There was a hint of sadness in Olivia's voice.

"Did I ever say anything like that?"

Jack turned and looked at Olivia: "Keep moving forward, you will get the signal sooner or later!"

The two walked to a relatively open area in the forest. Olivia turned on her phone and looked at the signal grid on the screen. She shook her head and said, "There is still no signal!"

Jack looked at his watch. "Well, there is a river in front of us and ridges around us. It will be daybreak in five hours, and they will come to search for us then."

Olivia said anxiously, "If we get trapped, they will find us in no time."

"That's exactly what I wanted!"

Jack nodded: "Let's go, we still have a lot to do!"

…………

The sky gradually brightened, and the morning light shone through the dense leaves and sprinkled on the ground of the primeval forest. In this vibrant forest, Jack and Olivia opened their eyes alertly.

Olivia sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at Jack with concern. The sunlight shone on her face, casting beautiful shadows.

The trees are tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows. The ground is covered with moss, and the surroundings are full of vitality.

Unfortunately, the two of them were in no mood to appreciate this pristine scenery. "Olivia, we have to part ways here!"

Jack picked up the sniper rifle and looked at Olivia with some reluctance, but he continued: "Just keep walking along this stream, and you will find a way out in the end!"

"No…,"

Olivia shook her head. “I’m safer with you. Let’s go!”

Looking at Olivia's persistent eyes, Jack smiled and followed Olivia.

On the other side of the forest, Voger and his group were slowly following the footprints left by the two men.

Marcus carefully checked the traces around him and turned to look at Voger: "There are more bloodstains here. They must have been here."

Voge turned to look at Hayes beside him: "Hayes, did you find anything?"

"The police haven't found any leads yet, and the whole area is still on lockdown, with roadblocks and checkpoints and everything!"

Hayes listened to the noises monitored on the communicator and nodded: "They definitely haven't escaped yet!"

"Very good, now let's all take a deep breath together,"

Voge observed his surroundings carefully: "Let's take our time. We must succeed this time!"

"Drip~"

There were beeps coming from the satellite phone on Smith's waist.

Voge turned to look at Smith, his eyes fixed: "Is this a message from the boss? What does it say?"

Smith glanced at him and put the satellite phone back into his pocket: "Yes, you must do your duty!"

Voge looked at Smith deeply, smiled, turned around and called to his accomplices: "Hey, we have to speed up!"

"Yes, channel two!"

Hayes listened to the voice coming from the communicator and reported to Voge.

Voge tuned into the communication channel No. 2, and Jack's voice came through the headset: "Vog, Simon Voge, are you there?"

Voger winked at Hayes, signaling Hayes to track Jack's location, and then said: "Carter, it's nice to hear your voice!"

"Oh yeah, you missed me too?"

"I miss you very much," Voge smiled, "We just started to know each other. Is that girl still with you?"

"You have to understand, he is no longer your problem, I am the one!"

Hearing Jack's cold voice, Voger smiled: "Really? I've noticed you a long time ago!"

"If I were you, I'd keep an eye on Smith, he likes to shoot people in the head when they're least expecting it!"

Voge looked back at Smith and said, "Jack, you and I both know that you can't escape this canyon, so let's be frank. You should be starting to feel weak now, right? You will fall down soon, it's just a matter of how fast your combat power is lost!

You are very capable, and I admire you for that. This has given our team many more opportunities to recruit new people..."

"Do you want to give me a job?"

"Give me the girl, and you can live and get a lot of money, what do you think?"

Voge said, "Give up. If you don't agree, there will be only one consequence!"

"Thank you, but that's not necessary! That's not why I contacted you..."

"Then why did you contact me..."

"Pfft~"

Before Voger finished speaking, a sharp gunshot suddenly broke the silence of the forest. Then, a team member behind him suddenly shook his body and was hit in the head by a bullet. He fell to the ground silently like a broken branch.

Voger and his group were instantly filled with panic and shock, and they hurriedly looked for cover, hiding behind large trees, clinging to the trunks and looking around nervously. They could clearly tell that it was the sound of a sniper rifle.

The atmosphere in the forest suddenly became tense and oppressive, and Vog and his team were caught off guard by the sudden attack. They didn't know Jack's location, nor could they predict the next attack, so they could only hold their weapons tightly.

"Pfft, puff!"

Two more gunshots rang out, and two members of the team fell down, but this also exposed Jack's current position.

Voge and his gang's eyes were filled with anger. Voge quickly gave orders, and the team members immediately raised their submachine guns and launched a fierce counterattack towards Jack's direction.

The trees in the forest were tall and dense, and the leaves rustled in the breeze, as if accompanying this life-and-death struggle. The bullets whistled through the air and hit the trees, breaking their branches and leaves and splashing leaves.

However, Jack seemed to have anticipated all this. He cleverly used the trees as cover and kept changing his position, making it difficult for Voger's team members to lock on to him.

Despite this, Voge's team worked closely together, constantly adjusting their shooting angles in an attempt to hit Jack's hiding place.

A life-and-death battle took place in the forest. Gunshots rang out one after another, and the originally fresh air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"follow me,"

Voge gestured to the team members and said quickly: "We have to surround him and leave him no way to escape!"

Jack clearly felt that the bullet flew past his scalp. The powerful impact stirred up the dirt and moss, hitting his face, making him instantly feel the fragility of life. Voger and his gang were suppressing Jack with fierce firepower. In this situation, Jack knew that he could not hesitate.

Jack held the sniper rifle tightly in his hand, and used the cover of the trees to move forward quickly. Every time he looked back, he could feel the gunfire behind him, as if he was racing against time and life. He could only pull the trigger with his consciousness, and two more militants fell under Jack's gun.

The bullets were still flying, and the branches and leaves of the trees were cracking under the impact of the bullets. However, Jack did not feel any fear in his heart, because he knew that as long as he persisted and kept fighting, there would be hope.

"Everyone disperse!"

Voge shouted loudly as he saw several more of his accomplices fall to the ground.

The group of people spread out, formed a line, and quickly chased after Jack.

"Da da da~"

At this moment, Olivia, who was lying in ambush nearby, raised the submachine gun in her hand and fired at Voger and his group. In an instant, several armed men were hit by bullets.

In the sudden attack, Voger and his team were caught off guard. The militants were hit by the sudden bullets, and screams came one after another. Olivia's attack was successful, but she did not stop at all, and quickly joined Jack like a deer.

Without any hesitation, the two men rushed deeper into the woods. Their goal was to get away from the pursuers and find a safe place to replan their countermeasures. The trees in the forest were tall and dense, and they used the cover of the trees to cleverly avoid pursuit again and again.

Voger and several accomplices were chasing them closely, but Jack and Olivia relied on their excellent luck to escape danger again and again.
