Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System
Chapter 128: Searching For Divya And Anjali
"The footprints disappear here, what do we do, Boss?" One of the figures scratched the back of his head and turned to look at the man standing in the center of their group.
"Don’t worry about that, just enter the forest. How far can two women run?"
"Keep your eyes open and search carefully. We’re bound to find some clues." Kuldeep, as the leader, clearly had the final say among them.
The five men behind him could only comply and stepped into the forest.
The five men behind him could only comply and stepped into the forest. As they advanced, they began a methodical, grid-style search. Despite the large area, they didn’t mind the effort, checking every bush and behind every tree trunk.
"Boss, I heard the two women we’re chasing this time are quite pretty. Is that true?" one of the men said, continuing to search while starting to gossip.
Upon hearing this, Kuldeep recalled seeing the two women’s avatars during his brief time in that group chat.
He then let out a cold snort, "What good is being pretty? Even if they’re pretty, it won’t be our turn to have fun with them."
"In the end, they’ll just be cheapened by that beast, Rahul Soniwal."
"If we can bring those two girls back today, it’ll be good enough if he rewards us with a few women he’s already tired of." When mentioning Rahul Soniwal, the leader of Savage Wolf Shelter, Kuldeep’s tone was very impolite.
Compared to his respect for Shalini, he only had disdain and contempt for Rahul Soniwal.
"You guys wouldn’t say this to Rahul Soniwal, would you?" After speaking, he glanced at his subordinates beside him.
The subordinates first looked left and right, then quickly nodded, "Don’t worry, Boss, we only recognize you as our Big Brother and Big Sister as ours. That Rahul Soniwal is nothing, he’s not even fit to carry your shoes, Boss." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"The beast even has an idea on his step-sister, if not for you working so much, Big Sister will already be devoured by thar beast."
"Yes, yes," the others echoed in turn.
---
Hiding, Divya heard this and had a general understanding of their situation.
Kuldeep and his group might not have been part of Savage Wolf Shelter before and were forced to join later.
As for the ’Big Sister’ they spoke of, Divya didn’t know who she was, but she had a vague guess.
"Hey, Boss, when we catch those two pretty girls, what if we play with them ourselves before bringing them back?"
"Instead of relying on Rahul Soniwal to reward us with women, we might as well enjoy the women he wants ourselves. It would also be a way to annoy him," the most talkative subordinate suggested, his eyes constantly revealing lust.
"Yeah, we can just clean them up afterwards and bring them back. Who would ever find out?" Looking at his subordinate’s hopeful gaze, Kuldeep was also somewhat moved.
Living under the roof of Savage Wolf Shelter, not only was the food worse than before, but he didn’t even have women to play with. He had harbored this thought for a long time.
"No, they’re not mute. If we’re punished, who knows how that beast will punish us?" He first rejected his subordinate’s idea.
"How about this: if we catch both women, we don’t touch one, and the other, we brothers enjoy ourselves and then kill her."
"Then we’ll just say one escaped. No matter how angry Rahul Soniwal gets, it won’t be a big deal." He carefully considered Rahul Soniwal’s personality before slowly speaking.
"Good, Boss, you’re always so thoughtful. Did you hear that, brothers? We’ll have women to play with soon, so put in some effort!"
"Good!" The echoes spread throughout the forest, followed by the men searching even more vigorously.
Seeing this situation, the two women, curled up, couldn’t help but worry.
Not only because of their search efficiency, but also because of the recent conversation.
They had completely confirmed what fate awaited them if they were caught and taken to Savage Wolf Shelter.
Anjali, who usually loved to be mischievous, now didn’t dare to breathe, and her slightly petite body, compared to Divya, began to tremble.
Only now did she realize the seriousness of the situation.
However, the five men would not stop their search because of their fear.
Soon, a gasp of surprise came, "Boss, I found some traces here that look like they were deliberately covered.
Following the sound, the scattered men gathered again, looking thoughtfully at the traces on the ground.
Kuldeep: "It’s right around here. Everyone, focus your search here."
The men nodded and bent down to begin a careful exploration.
Before long, a subordinate tugged on Kuldeep’s clothes and then whispered, "Boss, the end of the trail seems to be right here."
Ahead was a relatively large bush, and from the scattered leaves on the ground, the men could tell that someone was definitely inside.
The five men exchanged glances, then simultaneously crouched down and moved over.
"It’s over." Divya, who was watching all this unfold, thought to herself. Her fingertips were pressed red, and at this moment, both of their hearts plummeted to rock bottom.
Without giving them a chance to react, Kuldeep, who was close to the bush, lunged inside in one swift movement.
"Got you!" At the same time, a chilling smile spread across his face.
However, Kuldeep, who celebrated prematurely, was clearly happy too soon. In the grass, besides traces of someone having been there, it was completely empty.
What he grabbed in the grass was just a handful of green leaves.
"Damn it, those two girls tricked us." Kuldeep angrily scattered the leaves in his hand.
"Boss, look, there are still footprints on the ground. We still have a chance." The subordinate who found the traces interrupted the angry Kuldeep.
"Damn it, those two girls are really cunning. When they’re caught, we’ll have to play with them ruthlessly, otherwise, it won’t be worth all this trouble." Kuldeep looked in the direction the footprints led and led the others directly into the depths of the forest.
They didn’t notice a few leaves slowly drifting down from the large tree above the bush behind them.
The atmosphere remained silent until, confirming that the men had completely left, the two friends finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, earlier, Anjali felt it wasn’t safe hiding in the bush, so she deliberately took Divya to hide in the tree above.
Otherwise, they would have truly been in grave danger this time.
"How about that, aren’t I smart?" Seeing the men leave, Anjali patted her not-so-ample chest, seeking praise from Divya.
Unexpectedly, the only response she got was a flick on the forehead, "Aren’t you leaving yet? Do you want to stay here and wait for them to come back and catch you?"
"Oh~" Covering her head, Anjali could only slowly climb down the big tree that had saved their lives.
The two of them lightly leaped down from the tree; having eaten a few physique fruits, climbing such a not-too-tall tree wasn’t very difficult for them.
"So where do we run now?" Anjali asked as soon as they landed.
"Vikram gave me the coordinates. We’ll run there first; he’s also rushing towards us," she answered Anjali’s question simply, then began to find her direction using the coordinates.
After aligning with the target direction, she breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it wasn’t the same path as the Savage Wolf Shelter members.
"Hurry, they’ll likely realize something’s wrong very quickly if they don’t find anyone," she said, grabbing Anjali’s hand and leading her out of the forest.
The reason they didn’t run away immediately when they spotted the five men from the Shelter at the foot of the mountain was because the distance was too short, and they wouldn’t be able to create much space by just leaving.
Now, Divya and the group from the Savage Wolf Shelter were going in opposite directions. By the time they realized, at least half an hour’s distance would have been put between them.
Though the two of them had temporarily escaped danger, they weren’t entirely at ease, because in the direction they were heading, there were practically no good hiding spots.
This meant they had to keep running without stopping, trying to put as much distance between themselves and the pursuers as possible, while also praying they could hold out until Vikram’s rescue...

"Boss, we’ve been searching for ages, and haven’t found any other figures."
The five men, who had been extensively searching the forest, were a bit confused.
"Could it be that we got the direction wrong, and those two women were still near that spot just now?" one of the subordinates asked, stroking his scruffy chin.
"Yeah, if they really ran from here, they couldn’t possibly have left no traces at all."
Although Kuldeep was the leader among them, his intelligence wasn’t much higher than theirs.
Seeing his subordinates all say the same thing, he led them directly back to the bush.
"Damn it, Boss, they really were hiding here just now. The ground is covered in fresh footprints."
One of them immediately squatted down to examine the ground. "That’s right, these footprints are the size of a woman’s, and there are exactly two sets of footprints."
"Damn it, these two are really good at hiding."
"They made us waste so much time. Forget about what Rahul Soniwal will do; today, once we catch them, we’ll all play with them hard together." At this moment, Kuldeep’s eyes were filled only with rage.
In the Wasteland World, he, who usually killed without batting an eye, was actually being played for a fool by two little girls today. How could he tolerate this?
"If you two had found a place to continue hiding, perhaps I really wouldn’t have been able to do anything to you, but you chose to run."
Looking at the footprints on the ground, Kuldeep immediately broke into a run, following the tracks.
His subordinates behind him also followed suit...
