Third Person’s POV
Caldwell and Tommy lay in a custom–made off–road vehicle. A thick, soft cushion was spread over them. and everyone carefully lifted Marsh on top. Tommy and Caldwell each extended an arm, firmly protecting Marsh’s body.
The life–and–death adventure commenced, with the convoy setting off instantly.
Given three people were already in the car, to gain switch to another vehicle.

Caldwell would signal to stop at once if anything happened, allowing the doctor to check on Marsh.
The car was sweltering. With a soft cushion over them and Marsh on top, sweat quickly drenched their clothes.
Before long, their hair was soaked too, sticking annoyingly to their skin. It was itchy and uncomfortable, yet they couldn’t scratch it. The discomfort was agonizing.
The driver outside occasionally cracked the window a bit to let in some air but couldn’t keep it open long- Marsh, with a high fever, couldn’t be exposed to wind.
The driver stepped hard on the accelerator, speeding up the vehicle.
On the bumpy road, the car sometimes shook violently and sometimes jolted heavily.
But with the two using their arms to hold tight, Marsh was relatively less affected.
Caldwell would check Marsh’s pulse from time to time. As long as it was beating, he could ease a little.
Meanwhile, Avery led Doctor Digby and his group toward Frostbite Town.
A sudden storm trapped them a hundred miles away from the town.
Worried about Digby’s health, Mason suggested stopping to take shelter from the rain. “We’ve been moving at full speed. At this rate, we’ll definitely reach the medical station in Frostbite Town before them. If we stop now to wait out the rain and then continue, we’ll still make it in time,” she said.
But Doctor Digby’s expression darkened. “We must keep moving. It’s better for us to arrive early and wait than to keep them waiting for us,” he insisted.
Leonidas wiped away tears. “Thank you, Doctor Digby. Everyone of the Hornbeam Pack will remember your kindness,” he said.
Digby put on his waterproof jacket. Despite his clothes being soaked, he said firmly, “Enough talk. Let’s go! As long as the vehicle can move, we won’t stop.”
Lightning split the night sky, accompanied by thunder.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

It was truly different over a short distance. Perhaps even the Moon Goddess pitied Lance’s group, as it didn’t rain on their side.
They finally arrived at the border medical station as the sky turned completely dark.
Lance jumped out of the car and rushed in. The medical station staff greeted him. He immediately showed his military pass and asked anxiously, “Have any doctors arrived early?”
The station chief responded, “No doctors have arrived ahead of schedule so far.”
Lance felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, his blood seeming to freeze–his greatest fear had come true.
Marsh had barely made it here, but Doctor Digby hadn’t arrived yet.
When the others entered, they stood there stunned.
Although they had anticipated this possibility, they had still held onto a sliver of hope.
Now, that hope was shattered.
“Settle him in first, carry him into the treatment room,” Lance said after taking a deep breath.
Everyone quickly helped lift Marsh into the treatment room of the medical station.
Once he was settled, the Legion werewolf doctor checked his pulse and inserted a pill into his mouth with a serious expression.
However, Marsh’s condition remained critical.
It was now dark, and given the weather, they likely wouldn’t travel at night.
Plus, with lightning and thunder outside, a heavy rainstorm was imminent.
With darkness and rain, the chances of continuing the journey were almost zero.
So, it would likely take until tomorrow for Doctor Digby and his group to arrive.
As they spoke, the downpour began, and the rain seemed to extinguish the last spark of hope in everyone’s hearts.
They had given their all, and it was hard to accept this outcome.
They all stood by Marsh’s bedside, watching his breath grow weaker.
Marsh forced his eyes open, but his vision was blurry and unfocused. He couldn’t see the people in front of him clearly.
Yet, he could sense that his battle–hardened comrades were by his side.
He tried to smile, but the simple act required all his remaining strength.

He couldn’t even lift the corners of his mouth–not from pain, but because his body was completely numb.
No one spoke; to open their mouths might mean to give in to sobs.
Eugene, suppressing his sorrow, whispered in his car after a long while, “Marsh, we’re all here. Hold on. Your mate will be here soon.”
Marsh had truly done his utmost. This time, not even hearing the word “mate” could spark a resurgence of life in him.
His eyes slowly closed, and his breathing grew fainter.
A pall of grief spread through the room.

Suddenly, Lance and Klein rushed outside together–they had heard the sound of a car engine.
