The two of them began to climb the mountain. The mountain path kept winding up, surrounded by lush trees. The two of them climbed until they were panting. Finally, they reached a forest not far from the small house.

Serena supported her knees with both hands and took a deep breath before saying,

“I saw two footprints, one big and one small, at the bottom just now. They should be the traces of them going up the mountain. They went up the mountain earlier than us, so they should have arrived at the cabin by now.”

Emma looked up and saw that the door of the cabin was still open. She was a little unhappy.

“Where’s Dave? Didn’t you say that he would go up the mountain and guard it before us? Then why isn’t he taking action?”

Serena looked around but didn’t see Dave. She took out her phone.

“Wait a minute. I’ll contact him first.’

However, when she took out her hand, she realized that her phone had lost signal halfway up the mountain.

It was only when Serena slapped her head that she remembered that they couldn’t contact Dave, nor did they know where he was hiding. The worst thing was that to prevent alerting the enemy, they couldn’t shout. Otherwise, they would alarm Le Wan and Zhai Jing, and their plan for today would be completely ruined.

Emma stood on the spot for a while and felt her feet getting sore. She looked down and realized that her heels were actually worn out. She didn’t want to wait any longer and wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible. “Since Dave is so unreliable, we’ll do it ourselves.”

Emma planned to let Serena go around to the back door and close it, while she went around to the front door and locked it.

Serena nodded, and the two of them gently approached the wooden house.

The two of them hid outside and listened for a while, but they didn’t hear any sound coming from inside the house.

Serena was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice,

“Why is there no movement inside? Didn’t they come up the mountain?”

Emma was also a little confused, so she slowly stood up, tiptoed, and looked into the room through a small gap.

The cabin was built for the former forest ranger. It had three rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a front and back door. Emma could only see the situation in the living room through the gap. There was no one inside.

Emma frowned.

“Could they have entered the room?”

Serena looked around and said to Emma,

“Then I’ll go around to the back and see if they’re inside. I’ll also block the back door.”

Emma nodded.

“Then be quiet. Don’t alert the enemy.”

Serena gave Emma an okay sign and then went back.

Emma squatted on the spot, waiting for her news. In the end, after waiting for ten minutes, Serena still didn’t return.

Emma looked around at the empty environment and suddenly panicked. She couldn’t help but call Serena’s name in a low voice, but there was no response.

In the end, Emma got impatient and quietly walked to the back door. In the end, she realized that the back door was open, but Serena wasn’t there.

The panic in her heart intensified. She called out to Serena in a low voice, and then a cry came from the room.

Emma was shocked. She thought that it was Serena’s voice, so she immediately went to the back door and looked inside. However, before she could see what was hidden in the darkness, she suddenly felt a push from behind and she fell into the small wooden house.

Emma screamed and almost fell to the ground in the darkness. When she turned around in shock, she heard the sound of the back door being locked.

Emma thought of something and immediately rushed towards the living room. In the end, she stumbled into something in the darkness and tripped over it.

Emma only had one thought in her mind, and that was that she couldn’t be locked here. She had to get to the front door as soon as possible, so she ignored the sound of the ground creaking when she tripped.

However, Emma was still a step too late. When she reached the living room, she heard the sound of the door being locked.

Emma banged on the door in despair and shouted Serena’s name.

However, no matter how much she shouted, Serena’s voice didn’t come from outside. Emma leaned against the door in despair and slid to the ground. Her face was still wet with tears. She gritted her teeth and said,

“Don’t let me find out who did it. Otherwise, when I get out, I will definitely…” Before she could finish, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the dark room.

“What will happen to you?”

Emma felt a chill run down her spine. She widened her eyes in horror as she watched the figure slowlv walk out of the darkness..
