At this moment, Divya and Anjali had been ahead of them for almost an hour.
They moved quickly through the snowy landscape, deliberately avoiding obvious roads and open areas, choosing to travel along densely wooded paths.
"Divya, can...can we really escape?" Anjali's voice trembled slightly. Her stamina was nearing its limit, and her legs felt as heavy as if filled with lead.
Divya gritted her teeth, glanced back at the path they had come from, and whispered, "Don't stop. They'll catch up soon. We have to find a place to hide, or...or find a way to fight back."
"Fight back?" Anjali's eyes widened, her voice filled with disbelief.
"Don't think so much, just run first!" Divya interrupted Anjali. She knew there was no time for them to hesitate now.
"I...I can't run anymore..." Anjali's voice was tearful; her legs were numb.
Divya didn't answer, she just held Anjali's hand tightly, forcing her to continue.
