The sound was really very distant, so distant that he thought it might be just an illusion. However, having a keen sensitivity to gunshots, he suddenly stood up from the ground and looked into the distance.
The night was too dark to see anything.
Moreover, the sound was just a single shot and did not come again.
Was it Evan Willow's side that had trouble?
Or?
Samuel Johnson's heart suddenly started pounding. He ran into the tent, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and hurriedly dialed Evan's number.
The signal in the mountains was terrible, with heavy static. Samuel had to try several times before the other side finally picked up. Before he could ask, Evan spoke, "You heard it too, right?"
At that moment, he felt a chill run through his body.
Aside from Evan's group, only Fletcher Kinney's group had guns in these mountains.
And now if it wasn't Evan, then… it could only be his side.
