Chapter 818: Chapter 818: She... Can’t Speak Anymore_1

Chapter 818

She was totally dizzy and exhausted, devoid of any strength.

Her eyes, nose, and corners of her mouth were all injured to varying degrees, all not yet healed.

Watching the setting sun, her fingers that were continuously trying to untie the ropes suddenly stopped moving.

She was suddenly reminded of the junior who lived in the temple for several months three years ago.

His blurry figure seemed to merge into the brilliant sunset, gradually disappearing.

Her eyelids slowly drooped.

At the moment her consciousness plummeted into chaos, a burst of cacophonous noise suddenly drilled into her ears!

Since she was young, her hearing had always been superior to others.

This time, the sound was clearer than ever before.

It seemed like a group of people were coming this way.

Vaguely, she heard the name "Bennett White".

Then, she heard the people on the ship plunging into chaos.

Soon after that, someone came out, unbound her, put a mask on her, and then moved her into the ship. This time they didn’t seem to have time to take her deeper inside, choosing to hide her in the kitchen right away.

She was squeezed inside a kitchen cabinet.

After that, a rallying call rang out, and everyone ran off.

"Cold Lizard, there are accusations against you for imprisoning and mistreating newcomers. Explain yourself! What is really going on here?"

"Well, Elder, don’t falsely accuse me. I am just here for some relaxation. Look, I haven’t taken on any missions yet, I am just trying to catch some rest. Do I look like I have any newcomers here?"

"Your words alone won’t cut it! Somebody, search this ship!"

"Wait! Elder, you can’t do this. How will I still have a face in the Alliance after this? We have known each other for so many years, can’t you trust me?"

Chloe Collins tried to call for help, but suddenly, she was engulfed by a terrifying silence.

She... couldn’t make a sound.

When she opened her mouth, all that could be heard were hoarse whispers and her throat felt very painful.

She had been soaked in seawater all day, every day, as a result, she not only caught cold in her eyes but had also hurt her throat!

She pushed the cabinet door, realizing it was locked.

The tiny door could only be pushed open a palm’s width.

She could also see the lock.

At the same time, a smoke smell began to waft through, as if someone had quietly lit a fire, intending to burn down the ship!

Soon enough, she heard the conversation of the Cold Lizard’s men.

"Quickly, splash some oil over there too. We can’t let them find that woman!"

"It’s lit! Let’s go!"

Her heart skipped a beat. She then reached up to touch her hair and to her relief, the small hair clip was still there.

For the sake of convenience, she always tied her hair up, but there were a lot of loose strands, so she had pinned a few hair clips on.

Perfect, she could use them to pick the lock.

This minor skill was something she had learned when she was repeatedly confined in the mountain. Over time, she had become quite proficient.

The lock, being a common one, was quickly unlocked by her.

The smell of smoke was getting stronger. She pushed the cabinet door open and fell out.

She dragged her powerless legs, walking step by step towards the exit.

The voice of Cold Lizard resounded in her ears.

"How has a fire broken out! Elder, get to safety quickly! You guys, get the ship out of here now!"

"There’s no one left on the ship. Let’s get it out quickly!"

Chloe Collins quickened her pace, but she was totally strengthless and could not go faster.

The moment she saw the staircase, her head suddenly spun and she collapsed weakly.

Her eyes, visible through the gap in the mask, were already closed.

Someone ran into the smoke.

"Fu!"

"Fu!"
