"Cough cough---!"
Elliana Lyle was coughing incessantly, almost as if she were about to cough her lungs out.
She crawled out of a pile of rotten leaves, and as she ran south, she found people coming from the south, forcing her to bury herself only to get stepped on.
Fortunately, no one discovered her; otherwise, she feared she would have been dead.
She heard those people talking, saying: They can't run far, let's start surrounding here.
So she knew Norman Bennett and the others were surrounded, and she... going back to save them would be tantamount to delivering herself to death.
Not only would she not help, but she'd also become a burden.
She was running near the highway, so when she sat up, she saw several cars on the road.
Looking south, she could see the top of the signal tower; it didn't seem too far, at least not too far by car.
