The rain grew heavier and heavier. Normally, there wouldn’t be such heavy rain in winter, which made finding someone troublesome, especially on such cold days. Getting drenched in the rain made one extremely uncomfortable. Besides, it was getting dark. They wondered if they should give up the search.
Some were discouraged, but others coveted Calista’s beauty and insisted on finding her.
“She’s a woman and can still run. Are we wimps?”
At this moment, one of them, the only one with a phone, received a call from the village.
“What? Go back? We haven’t caught her yet. I took a glance at that woman, she’s like a fairy. If we don’t catch her now and she ends up in another village, we won’t have a chance.”
Quintus was holding a gun at the man on the other end of the phone. In a trembling voice, he said, “Just come back first. Don’t chase anymore.”
After the call had ended, the man fearfully said to Quintus, “They all listen to me, they will definitely come back. Can you, can you…” He didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear. Could Quintus put the gun down?
Quintus looked at the rain outside. Those people probably weren’t used to hardship. It was already late at night, and they were still out in the rain looking for someone. He felt a bit less irritable.
“Remember, if they haven’t returned in an hour, continue calling. Got it?”
“Yes, yes, absolutely.”
After the call ended, everyone around asked him, “What’s going on? Why did they call us back?”
“Right, something must have happened.”
“Should we still pursue them?”
The man with the phone thought for a moment and felt reluctant. A woman like the one who just escaped was a rare find. If she got away, he feared he’d never encounter another one like her again, so he gritted his – teeth and said, “Here’s the plan. You guys go back. Pippin, Bram, you come with me. She’s been running
for so long, she must be tired. With just a few of us, it’s enough.”
Although others wanted to join the chase, the rain was quite a deterrent. So, they grumbled sourly, “When you find her, bring her back first, don’t fool around outside.”
“We know, we won’t forget you guys.”
And so, the three men continued their pursuit, while Calista, hiding in the darkness, kept a close eye on the leader, or more precisely, on his phone.
In reality, Kallum had placed a tracker on her, even in her bracelet, ring, and even hairpin. But the person who tied her up initially was a professional and took away all those things. If she had that man’s phone, she could just call Kallum and wouldn’t have to endure this hardship.

Chapter 510 Her Footprints
Fresher
coupled with the rain, it was really irritating At this time, one of them said, “Look. Is this the woman’s footprint?
In the mud, the footprint was very obvious. The leader said, “Hmm, it looks like a woman’s footprint. We don’t have such small feet here. Let’s search separately. She’s been running for so long, the must be tired and might be hiding nearby to rest
The group split up. Afraid of alerting the woman, the leader turned off his flashlight. At this moment, he heard some faint noises behind him. Before he could turn around, Calista hit him on the head with a stone and knocked him out
She quickly searched him and finally found his phone.
In that instant, Calista was ecstatic, but then she heard a man’s voice behind her. “Bram! She’s here.”
Without looking back, Calista ran forward, but she was indeed feeling a bit tired. However, the two men behind her were also exhausted. Both sides were like a tug of war, sprinting through the rainy mountains at night.
Call him! Just give him a call!
Luckily, she had an old–fashioned keypad phone, which was waterproof, so she didn’t need to worry too much. While running, the called Kallum. Almost instantly, the call was answered.
“Callie?” Kállum was going crazy. It was dark and raining, so the chances of finding her were slim, but this call gave him hope
“It’s me…” Calista’s panting voice immediately made Kallum nervous,
“Are they chasing you? Don’t be afraid, I’m coming now. Don’t hang up.”
He handed Calista’s phone to his subordinate, who immediately located Calista. However, because she was moving the location was not real–time and needed to be refreshed repeatedly.
Hearing him say he would come, Calista finally calmed down. At this moment, one of the men behind her shouted, “Stop. Don’t run. There are wild animals in the mountains, don’t you care about your life?”
Calista naturally wouldn’t stop. She ran even faster, but at this moment, she suddenly slipped and fell into
a pit.
In a panic, she grabbed a small tree outside, but because of the rain, the soil under the plants loosened. She didn’t have time to climb up holding onto the plant, and the soil collapsed, dragging her down.
As Calista rolled down, a deafening roar came from the very close vicinity. What followed was continuous shaking, getting closer and closer, as if it was happening right beside her.
Calista’s heart sank. It was a mudslide. She might have a hard time seeing Kallum for the last time.
