Chapter 13 - Chapter 11:They’re Surrounded

"We can't hold them forever!" Adam added, "We need to move—now!" Alan looked down at Lisa. Her eyes were half‑closed. Her breathing shallow. Her skin cold. He lifted her higher in his arms. "We're leaving." Lisa weakly grabbed his shirt. "Don't… leave them…" Alan's voice softened. "I'm not leaving anyone." The Escape Plan James pointed to the back wall. "There's a hidden exit behind the storage shelf." Adam nodded. "I'll clear the path." Number 02 appeared in front of them again. Adam shot him in the leg. James kicked him aside. Alan carried Lisa toward the shelf. Number 03 aimed again. Lisa whispered, "…Alan…" He turned his body, shielding her completely. The bullet slide past. He didn't flinch. "I told you. I've got you." Breaking Out Adam shoved the shelf aside, revealing a metal door. James covered them, firing at the assassins. "Go! Go!" Alan kicked the door open and ran into the dark tunnel, Lisa in his arms. James and Adam followed, slamming the door behind them. The Top 10 hit the metal from the other side, shaking it violently. Number 01's voice echoed through the steel. "You can't run forever." Alan didn't stop running. "Watch us." Lisa's head rested against his chest. Her voice was faint. "…Don't… let them win…" Alan held her tighter. "I won't." Her eyes closed. Her body went limp. James looked back, panic in his voice. "Is she—" Alan cut him off. "She's alive. She's staying alive." Adam nodded, breathless. "Then we fight until she wakes up." The tunnel stretched ahead — dark, cold, dangerous. But the three strongest men walked into it without fear. Because Lisa needed them. And they would burn the world before they let her fall.
