Chapter 296: Companions with Different Hearts
Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Ning Qi, and Hu Bo ran all the way, bumbling and crashing, heading anywhere they could without thinking, not even knowing if they had deviated from their original path, only wanting to get as far away from that place as possible.
As they ran, Gu Fan saw a light up ahead, believing it was Su Hui and the others, so he hurried over.
"Gu Fan, are you all okay?" Indeed, it was Su Hui and the others. Seeing the panic in Lu Yi and the fear draining the color from Ning Qi’s face, they asked hurriedly, "What happened? Did you encounter something?"
"Yes!" Gu Fan nodded, his own face reflecting the shock of recent events. He then relayed what they had experienced, leaving the others in stunned silence.
Jie expressed some disbelief, as the story seemed too fantastical.
Old man Tian, expressionless, suggested, "We should go back and search again tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Gu Fan furrowed his brow, wanting to object, because he knew the chances of finding Deng Wenming would be slim by then.
In agreement with old man Tian was Ning Qi, who had already been scared out of her wits. Given the blizzard, the dark surroundings, and the unknown event, it was indeed no weather to linger outside.
Naturally, Hu Bo, the supervisor, sided with Ning Qi. Not wanting to take risks themselves, they too agreed to head back, so Gu Fan no longer resisted. The team could only return, and wait until the next day to decide further.
