Chapter 284 Climbing the Mountain for Rescue

"My ankle's twisted!" Hazel hadn't gone far before she hobbled back and plopped down on a long outdoor bench.

As the others set off one by one, she massaged her foot and said, "I'm off to a bad start. My foot's done. I give up. You guys go ahead. I'm out of the competition."

Some women couldn't stand her delicate demeanor and gossiped as they walked.

"Look at her. Mr. Windsor said everyone had to participate, and Hazel showed up but pulled this stunt. It's disgusting."

"I heard she has connections. She was parachuted into Skyline International Corporation."

There were quite a few people on the way up the mountain, but as everyone followed different routes on the map, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Sophie walked while looking at the map, eager to complete the task quickly. She walked fast, even if the marked route wasn't the normal path. Through woods and thorns, nothing stopped her.

She didn't realize she was getting farther and farther from the others.

As she walked, the weather suddenly changed, and thick clouds quickly gathered.

It looked like it was going to rain.

Sophie saw that she had covered more than half the distance on the map and was getting closer to the target, so she quickened her pace.

After walking for about two or three hours, she finally reached the marked endpoint on the map. She looked for a wooden box but couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

The clouds grew heavier, and the temperature dropped noticeably. She became anxious, rummaging through the grass and thorns with her hands, getting scratched and several thorns stuck in her flesh.

She was in a hurry because Abby was waiting for her to pick her up.

But she searched all around the endpoint and found nothing.

The rain came suddenly, and she didn't bother to take cover. She continued to search

in the rain, growing more and more disappointed.

Thinking of Abby waiting pitifully in the classroom, her heart ached terribly.

The rain got heavier, and she decided to give up the task and go back to accept the punishment.

But she had walked too far, following the map all the way, and couldn't remember the route.

When she took out the map again, she found it was soaked and unreadable.

She wandered like a headless chicken for a long time, realizing she was still circling the mountain. The paths became more unfamiliar, definitely not the way she came.

She'd heard before that Cloud Lake Valley Scenic Area was mysterious, with paths like a maze-easy to climb up but hard to get down. Many outdoor enthusiasts loved exploring here.

Skyline International Corporation had booked the entire Cloud Lake Valley Scenic Area for this training, so there were no other visitors during this period.

Sophie hid under a big tree, trying to look at the map again, but it was already a soggy mess. Her phone was also water-damaged and couldn't make calls.

The rain got heavier, and she squatted down helplessly, hugging her soaked self, crying in despair as she looked at the pouring rain.
