Chapter 434 I Can Endure
Catherine looked around for a while and finally located Branden. The location of his ambush was very well hidden. If she hadn’t been standing high above the ground and Branden had shot first, she wouldn’t have been able to find him.
Standing high, Catherine could also tell that the team below was preparing to evacuate. Unfortunately, it was too late!
The feast of carnage belonging to Branden was about to begin!
After Branden pulled the trigger a second time, Catherine also made her move. Like a competition, she and Branden fought for points in this small, dense forest.
They weren’t competing against another team. Instead, they were competing against each other.
The broadcast on the screen shocked everyone in this battle.
[Anon beats the member of Team 3, +1 point.]
[0399 beats the member of Team 2, +1 point.]
[Anon beats the member of Team 4, +1
point.]
The broadcast the screen was constantly updated, and wailing filled the dense forest. As one after another team member was eliminated, Catherine and Branden’s team ranked higher and higher.
Carlo was dumbfounded at this scene, holding the monitor and looking at the other two teammates. “Didn’t Paxton say that Mr. Duncan was seriously injured? How could…”
Francis let out a cold laugh, looking ahead with awe in his eyes.
“Mr. Duncan is like a god! There is no impossibility with him!”
That was right. Anything impossible could become possible when it came to Branden. Branden’s ability was just so mind- blowing.
Carlo silently gulped to ease his nerves. “So, are we still going?”
They would be sending themselves to their deaths if they went now. Francis and Cory glanced at each other, and their years of tacit understanding made them smile simultaneously before speaking in unison, “Yes!”
For such a feast of carnage, they would be honored even as witnesses.
More importantly, they would likely have the opportunity to compete with the two experts, so there was no reason not to go.
Branden was indeed heavily injured, so his fighting strength was bound to be not as good as before.
On the contrary, the three of them were at their peak state, cooperating well and fighting with full strength.
What if they win? One never knew what the outcome would be until they tried. They had to go!
Once the decision was made, the three set off together. Initially at zero points, Branden’s team had now ranked third place, taking out Francis’ team.
It was evident that the toughness of Branden’s team was simply overwhelming. Catherine locked onto a target as the battle continued and prepared to attack.
Right now, she had the exact same number of points as Branden, and because of this battle, the long- dormant desire to fight within her was awakened.
That thrill of chasing after the blood and killing made her unconsciously regard Branden as an imaginary enemy.
What was originally a cooperative match against each other turned into a duel between the two. Branden was very satisfied with Catherine’s performance. His little girl was always able to give him surprises.
He locked on to the same target that Catherine had chosen. Now, it was all about who was faster. The two of them chased after each other, almost striking at the same time.
In the last fraction of a second, the man, however, stopped. He would give whatever his girl wanted. Catherine, who had gotten the points, wasn’t happy and had a frown on her face.
She knew better than anyone else about the situation just now. She was about to lose, but the man at her side took the initiative to give up the opportunity to strike.
Without waiting for her to inquire, Branden held her hand in his and dragged her away. Catherine did not know his next move yet, so she could only follow him to leave first.
The two quickly made their way through the dense forest with no difficulty.
Ten minutes later, Branden dragged Catherine back to the cave where they had first hidden.
After stopping, Catherine turned back and was about to ask Branden about the situation. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Branden fell straight down towards her.
Catherine froze momentarily, then quickly reacted as she reached out and supported him.
Branden didn’t stand on ceremony and leaned into Catherine’s arms.
Catherine helped him to the side and sat him down, taking off her water bottle and handing it to him.
After Branden was seated, Catherine carefully checked his body.
His dark green camouflage pants had been stained reddish-brown.
At that moment, Catherine finally understood why Branden had suddenly retreated.
His leg could no longer cope. The wound had split open, and blood had stained his pants entirely.
If this continued, one would die from the massive loss of blood, no matter how powerful they were.
The sky gradually darkened, and the rainforest temperature would drop very quickly at night.
With the double blow, it would be hard for Branden to make it through the night.
Catherine made a quick decision. She directly took out her knife and cut through the man’s pants.
Branden’s strong thigh was then exposed. The bandage used to fix the wound was now stained red, and blood continued to ooze out.
In the backpack provided to them by the training camp, there were some rudimentary medical equipment and medicines.
Catherine took out these medicines and then handed Branden the knife. “Bite it!
Branden instantly understood Catherine’s intentions, but he didn’t follow her instructions.
He casually threw the knife away, and the sharp-edged knife planted itself firmly in the ground aside.
“Kathy, just do it. I can endure!”
Why did that sound a little strange?
Catherine leaned in close, her stunningly beautiful face perfectly appearing in Branden’s sight. Her big, beautiful, and seductive eyes were staring at Branden, and ambiguity was evident in her fluttering eyes.
Her pink, thin lips slightly curled up, and a touch of seductive charm lingered within her soft tone.
“Are you serious? Are you sure that you can endure?”
Like a white feather, her gentle tone softly glided over the man’s heart. A helpless smile escaped Branden’s face, and his eyes were filled with a sense of doting.
He could endure anything but had no resistance to her. Even if she were a poison, Branden would still take it.
Catherine sensed more blood seeping from Branden’s leg, nearly at the speed of a spurt. With a face full of smugness, she stopped teasing.
She was afraid that Branden was really going to die if she kept talking. Catherine’s movements were very swift. She quickly cut the original gauze, re-sewed the gaping wound, and sprinkled anti-inflammatory medicine before bandaging it.
After tying it in a pretty bow, Catherine clapped her hands casually, finishing her perfect work.
Then she looked up towards the man, whose face was already sweaty due to the lack of anesthetic the entire time.
From start to finish, Branden hadn’t uttered a single word. It wasn’t something an average person could do.
Catherine raised her eyebrows, her provocative eyes staring straight at the man.
“Why bother? Do you regret it now?”
