A man wearing a bright yellow shirt was sitting on a series of rocks that had a hard surface. The rocks, when he groped, felt very rough. Because he was so tired, the rocks, which were far from warm, felt quite comfortable. Previously, he had been running and running for over three hours. He tried his best to get away from the people chasing him. During those three hours, his energy was almost completely drained.

He could sense that one by one, his pursuers had given up. There was only one person who was still shadowing him. But finally, almost an hour ago, it seemed that he had escaped the pursuit of that one person. Behind him, the sound of running footsteps could no longer be heard, which had been an integral part of his escape for the past three hours.

During the chase, he never looked back. Just ran forward and stared straight ahead. Looking back would only slow him down. Since he had not seen the pursuer at all, he was just wondering how far away he was from the pursuer. At first, the pursuer was quite far behind him. But over time, the distance between them grew closer. At some point, he could have heard the footsteps of people running behind him. Perhaps the pursuer was some eighty or a hundred meters behind him. At that time, while continuing to run, he looked for gaps on the right or left side of the road he was traveling on to find a temporary hiding place. Luckily, His foresight made him find a place that roughly fit his size. It was far from perfect, but it could outwit the pursuer for a few moments.

Quickly, the man slammed himself into the gap between the bushes. He wasn't sure it would work. But he had to try. The pursuit of him that had lasted several hours had exhausted him immensely.

After the pursuer ran in different directions, the person wearing a yellow shirt quickly emerged from the hiding place and ran the other way. He never stopped. He always kept running and running. Although he could no longer hear the footsteps behind him, he had to keep going. He intended to do that until he found a place where he felt safe. Finally, he found the series of rocks when he could no longer run. He had to rest for a while before continuing his escape.

I hoped that person had given up. Or at least looking for me in a different direction!

His eyes were closed, and his head bowed. He may look like someone who was praying, but he was not praying. Right now, he was exhausted. His entire body was trembling. The pair of legs he had been using for running felt so weak that he could hardly support his body. If he had not sat on the hard rocks, he might have fallen over the ground. His breathing finally slowed down. A long, deep breath replaced the rapid breath when he was in a panic.

Tiredness and trembling weren't the only things he felt. Right now, he was very thirsty. His mouth was dry. During these three hours, he had not found any potable water. Apart from thirst, he also felt hungry. All this time, he had been running and running as hard as he could with a growling stomach. The chance to escape came before he had time to fill his stomach. However, inevitably, he had to try his best to ignore this extremely uncomfortable feeling. Previously, he also often starved. It was even worse than today.

Sitting on these rocks allowed him to think further about the next step.

I have to find some edible things before I starve to death in the middle of this stretched of trees!
