Chapter 4: A Strange Observation (2)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Open the door! Please!" David shouted from the outside.
Panic and fear were evident in his voice, but no one moved to help him. Some turned their gaze towards the door, but none took a step to help, afraid that they’d be kicked out as well.
But when David kept knocking, a girl couldn’t hold back.
"M-Maybe we made a hasty decision," she said. "Can’t we let them back in? Just... give them a warning?"
The moment she said that everyone turned towards her like she was crazy. Moving the barricade so frequently would weaken it.
Besides, moving it required a lot of strength and no one wanted to waste their energy since they didn’t have any food or water with them. To survive, they needed to conserve their strength.
Everyone knew that, but no one wanted to say it out loud. If they did, wouldn’t they be deemed heartless and vicious?
"Since no one objected, I’ll let them in," the girl said, approaching the door.
Just as she was about to reach for the handle, someone grabbed her hand.
"Don’t do it," Blaze said, pulling her back. "With how much noise they made, those creatures must have already heard them. If we remove the barrier, then what would stop them from entering the hall?"
