Chapter 439 - 415: Life Is Full of Surprises and Shocks

In a fit of rage, the driver yanked off his cap, and at the moment he pulled the trigger, his mask fell off with his movement.

Chloe Simpson finally got a clear view of the face of the ride-share driver in front of her.

She never imagined, not even in her dreams, that this face belonged to the internationally notorious wanted murderer.

No, more accurately, it was the head of a terrorist organization, Phyllis.

Months ago, she had seen this information online.

It said Phyllis had clashed with another terrorist organization and barely escaped with his life, fleeing to within our borders.

How could it be?

Who would hire such a terrorist organization leader to kill her?

She was just a weak woman, powerless and defenseless.

There’s no need to hire such an agent; anyone could easily kill her.

As Chloe’s thoughts raced, the bullet finally flew over, hitting her in the chest.

The bullet embedded forcefully into her flesh, and a sharp pain instantly exploded inside her chest cavity.

Blood spurted out from the wound.

Wave after wave of tearing pain spread through her nerves to her limbs and every part of her body.

Then, her consciousness began to blur.

With a thud, she fell heavily to the ground.

Ha, she never imagined she would die like this.

She had thought of countless ways she might die.

Most were from old age or illness.

But she never imagined she would be killed by an internationally renowned terrorist organization leader.

As for who hired this terrorist organization leader.

She had no way of knowing.

Her head started to feel heavier, and her eyelids grew heavier too.

Then, darkness engulfed her as she completely closed her eyes.

In that moment of closing her eyes, suddenly many chaotic sounds filled her ears.

There were footsteps, shouting, and many people talking.

But as consciousness gradually faded away, she could no longer hear these sounds.

Following that, she seemed to enter a lengthy night.

As if she’d gone blind, unable to see anything.

Everything before her seemed void.

Somewhat like the science fiction scenes of void, or as if she had arrived in a place after death.

When she was little, she once heard an old man say something in the neighborhood.

He said that after people die, they arrive at a Noah’s Ark.

A place where all kinds of people, dead souls, gathered.

They continue to live peacefully as if it’s no different from when they were alive.

Except there’s no freedom, they can never leave, always trapped here.

Before reaching this Noah’s Ark, one has to pass through a long period of darkness.

Indeed, the words of the older generation were true.

After dying, people really reach a Noah’s Ark that gathers souls.

Before that, they go through a very long, very long period of darkness.

Now, she should be on the path to the Ark.

Unfortunately, her mother’s revenge hadn’t been avenged.

A bit of joy was present, maybe once she arrived at the Ark, she could see Mom.

However, the period of darkness was truly so long, so long.

Longer than her entire life.

Here, time seemed endless, space seemed endless, nothing but darkness existed.

No idea how much time had passed, so long that Chloe almost felt she no longer existed, when finally, a voice reached her ears.

She thought she must be nearing that Noah’s Ark.

Just, the voice sounded familiar somehow.

Where had she heard it before?

Was it Alan Johnson?

How was that possible?

"Chloe! Chloe! Wake up!"

The voice continued at her ears.

This time, Chloe was quite certain, the voice at her ears was Alan Johnson’s.

Had he died too?

Or among those voices heard just before dying, was one of them Alan Johnson’s?

Did he die trying to save her?

Chloe was filled with doubts.

She realized how laughable it felt.

Alan Johnson had only met her a few times, with no real connection, how could he rescue her, much less die to save her?

"Chloe, wake up!"

The voice grew louder, seemingly going to bite her ears off.

Really unbearably loud.

Chloe reached out to cover her ears.

But as she extended her hand, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Soon, her vision was filled with white.

Instantly, the pungent smell of disinfectant surged into her nose.

In her line of sight, there were IV tubes.
