novelxo Chapter 1171
Raul and Henrik didn't waste a second. They hopped on a plane and made a beeline straight for the medical base.
Meanwhile, the whole online world was buzzing with prayers for Flora. Hashtags like #MedicalBaseExplosion, #MayAllAustenbergStudentsReturnSafely, and #SafetyForFlora were trending everywhere. People were holding onto hope, wishing with all their might that Flora would pull through. But in the back of everyone's mind, there was a sinking feeling. More than an hour had passed without a trace of her, and optimism was slipping through their fingers.
Over at the medical organization, everyone was on high alert. Mr. Atticus was chomping at the bit, almost tasting victory over Club 257. With Flora's fate hanging in the balance, and with Crimson, the vice president of Club 257, taking a chunk of their best members to the medical base, this once-impenetrable club now seemed ripe for the picking.
Club 257 was in trouble.
"Let's move out!"
At the same time, Crimson and her crew were deep in the heart of the forest. The further they ventured, the denser the toxic fog became, threatening to eat away at their protective gear. The search weighed heavily on them. If they were struggling with protection, what about Flora and Connor?
"Ms. Crimson, be careful," Lance urged, knowing how tight she was with Flora and worried sick she might get hurt.
"Do I really need you to remind me?" Crimson shot back, her temper flaring. Flora, that reckless girl, had landed herself in a real mess. She better be safe, or else... Damn it! She was seething!
"We can't go any further," Kruiz warned as Crimson pushed on.
"The fog's too thick ahead. Our suits will give out in less than twenty minutes."
"But we haven't found my brother or Flora!" Kruz exclaimed, anxiety lacing his voice.
Kruiz looked defeated. He understood the stakes, but if Flora was really in there without any protection...
"Here's the plan," Crimson announced, stuffing her backpack with extra protective suits. "You all head back. I'm going deeper."
"I'm with you, and so is Adrian. The rest of you, retreat," Kruz chimed in.

Risking their necks was worth it if it meant saving their leader.
"Right! We're not leaving. We'll go together!" echoed the Empire Base folks.
They had to find their boss and Ms. Flora.

Crimson and her group still hadn't emerged.
Outside, Karter, Amanda, and the rest could feel the chill settling deeper in their hearts.
Flora and Connor...
Ethan's eyes were red-rimmed, tears threatening to spill.
Flora, you can't let anything happen to you.
"Hey, someone's coming out!"
Finally, Mike, who'd been glued to the entrance, shouted, his voice brimming with excitement!
