Chapter 499: + - 499+
"Did you get around to checking if there’s a tunnel?" Angelo kept talking, pushing himself to his feet.
The explosions above them were getting harder to ignore, dust and little stones starting to fall from the ceiling.
Nikolai rose to his feet as well, enamored even more by the assassin. He had gotten up from the explosion with barely any surface injuries.
"Yeah, let’s leave."
It was less of a suggestion and more of a necessity, there was an occasional tremble rocking through the underground space every now and then.
Angelo had been temporarily knocked out by the blast from the door, but it was long enough for Nikolai to deal with the people in the small room.
He only saw one person dead on the ground. The ground and most of the room was made from packed clay, and was quite dilapidated but the entrance to the tunnel was well-kept and properly reinforced.
Angelo didn’t bother asking about the second person that was supposed to be in the room, more interested in the two of them getting out before the roof caved in.
He went right to the cave and got on his hands and knees, it wasn’t too cramped but it wasn’t like he could walk upright through the tunnel.
He crawled in and then turned around, "It’s small and dark in here, will you be fine?" He asked Nikolai who still stood in front on the tunnel.
Nikolai didn’t respond, but he slowly lowered himself and climbed into the mouth of the tunnel. The rumbling got even worse now but that didn’t alarm him as much as the restrictive space he had to be in.
