    She was so cold, so hungry, so tired. All she wanted was to iclose /iher eyes and have a good sleep.

    But she knew that if she closed her eyes now, she might never wake up again.

    Daddy…

    Scarlett…

    Brother…

    Great–grandfather…

    Grandfather…

    Fourth missed them all so much!

    Slowly, Fourth’s eyes began to close, her consciousness starting to fade away.

    But just as her eyes were about to shutpletely, she suddenly heard a voice calling out.

    “Fourth, you have to hang in there!” Hugo’s voice echoed in her ears.

    Mysteriously, her almost–closed eyes snapped open.

    “Daddy…” Fourth murmured.

    Looking around, she was still alone.

    No!

    She couldn’t sleep!

     Chapter 277 She really couldn’t hold on much longer.

    She absolutely couldn’t!

    Her parents were searching for her; she couldn’t just fall asleep like this!

    She needed to find a way, to let her parents know she was here!

    With that thought, Fourth forced herself to stay conscious and slowly got up. She had ito /iget to the

    entrance, to let them know she was here!

    Her whole body felt weak, and every movement was painful.

    Despite this, Fourth pushed herself to stand, leaning against the stone wall, and began to inch her way

    outside.

    At that moment, the helicopter was circling around other cave entrances. Fourth knew that no matter how

    much she shouted, they wouldn’t hear her. Besides, she was too exhausted to call out anymore.

    As she pondered what to do, she noticed a piece of clothing she had torn earlier. Fourth picked it up,

    found a stick, and tied the cloth to it, waving it in the direction of the helicopter.

    She wasn’t sure if they could see it, but it was her only chance and option at the moment.

    Scarlett, Daddy.

    Please hurry.

    Fourth was truly reaching her limit…

    Meanwhile, Hugo was searching below. When he reached the bottom of the cave, the clothing markers

    were gone.

    The extras searched around but found no more signs or clues. They looked at Hugo, “Boss, there’s really

    nothing here!”

    “Could it be that she ran out of clothing material, so she couldn’t leave any imore /imarks?” ione /iof the extras

    suggested.

    “Even if she ran out of fabric, if there was truly nothing left, she would have found another way to leave a

    sign…” Hugo replied.

    “But there’s nothing around here!” the extra insisted.

    At that moment, Hugo looked up at the cave above.

    Hugo pulled out his radio and asked the people in the helicopter, “What’s the situation up there?”

    “Mr. Hodges, there’s nothing up here, absolutely nothing!”

    Hugo couldn’t believe that Fourth’s mark would just disappear without reason. There had to be something

    else going on, or maybe she was here, and he just hadn’t found her yet!

    “Can you see my position now?” Hugo asked.

    The person in the helicopter looked down and replied, “Yes, we can see you!”

    “Check those caves right above me thoroughly!” Hugo instructed.

    “Got it!” the person in the helicopter responded.

    The helicopter then circled in the air before turning back to take another careful look.

    As they approached Hugo’s position, the pilot noticed something below and said, “Look ahead, what’s

    that?”

    A stick with a piece of cloth tied to it was swaying back and forth.

    “Get closer for a better look!” the co–pilot immediately suggested.

    “No can do, we’re too low. Flying in could easily lead to a crash!” the pilot replied.

    The co–pilot squinted, unable to clearly see a person, but it was evident someone was waving a branch,

    signaling for help.

    “Mr. Hodges, Mr. Hodges!”

    “I’m here!” Hugo Hodges replied, holding his walkie–talkie.

    “We’ve spotted something unusual. There’s definitely someone signaling us from a cave above you, but the entrance is too small and low for us to fly over directly. We can’t confirm if it’s your daughter!” said the

    person from the helicopter.

    Hearing this, Hugo immediately looked up.

    Who else could it be but Fourth!?

    “Which one is it in?” Hugo asked urgently.

    “It’s just above you to the left, not far away, a very small cave entrance!”

    Hugo carefully scanned the area and finally spotted the hidden cave.

    He looked around; the helicopter couldn’tnd there. The space was too narrow and close to the ground,

    posing a risk of an ident.

    Just then, one of the extras pointed out, “Over there, you can climb up from there!”

    Seeing this, Hugo quickly put away the walkie–talkie and ran towards the spot, starting to climb up.

    “Boss, be careful!” the extra shouted from below.

    Hugo didn’t respond, focusing solely on climbing.

    As he climbed, Hugo noticed traces on the ground, signs of someone having climbed before. The marks

    were small, indicating a smaller person had passed through. This only strengthened his belief–it had to be

    Fourth!

    Hugo Hodges nced upward and quickened his pace, continuing his climb.

    At that moment, Scarlett and First and Second followed the trail markers to the location. From a distance,

    First spotted the figure climbing in mid–air. “Scarlett, it’s Dad!”

    Upon hearing this, Scarlett looked up and saw Hugo climbing toward a cave.

    “Do you think he’s found Fourth?” Second asked.

    “We’ll know once we get there!” Scarlett replied, and she immediately ran toward the cave.

    First and Second followed closely behind. Despite Second’s aching legs and arms, he gritted his teeth and

    kept silent.

    When they reached the base of the cave, the extras were waiting below. Upon turning around iand /iseeing

    the three of them, they looked a bit surprised.

    “Who are you?”

    “What is my dad doing up there?” First asked directly.

    The extras quickly understood their rtionship and exined, “Oh, the people from the helicopter said someone up there sent a distress signal, and the boss went up right away…”

    Hearing this, First nced at Scarlett.

    “It must be Fourth!” he said.

    Scarlett’s small face iwas /icalm andposed. She handed everything she was holding to First and said, “You two wait here. I’ll igo /icheck it out!” Without waiting for a response, she followed the path Hugo had

    taken.

    “Be careful, Scarlett!”

    “Be careful!”

    First iand /iSecond said in unison, their voices filled with concern as they watched her go.

    Scarlett didn’t look back. She followed Hugo’s path, climbing steadily.

    Even as sharp branches scratched her skin and drew blood, she didn’t seem to notice.
