Chapter 312: Action Begins
The night deepened, time slowly passed by. Gu Fan felt drowsiness pulling at his eyes, threatening to plunge him into a deep sleep at any moment. However, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay awake. He felt not only caution, but also curiosity towards Ning Qi and their team’s purpose.
Gu Fan wondered whether Ning Qi and the others are also looking for the treasure left by the Eternal Life Clan in this area. Perhaps whatever they were looking for could be of help to Gu Fan.
At two in the morning, Gu Fan noticed movement in two tents, which were then opened. He saw Ning Qi, Kang Rong, Hu Bo, and the supervisor stealthily walk out. They were dressed neatly and were carrying bags on their backs. It didn’t look like they were stepping out for a quick relief, and moreover, where was the agreed plan of group excursions for bathroom breaks?
"Have you finally made your move?" Gu Fan forced himself to stay alert, giving all his attention to their every move.
Ning Qi and Hu Bo checked their surroundings and noticed nothing unusual from the other tents. It seemed like no one had noticed their little ruse, so they relaxed, carefully opened the door as minimally as possible to let in as little cold air from outside.
Gu Fan watched as they left one by one, waited patiently for five minutes to make sure they had covered some distance, and then quickly got dressed, meanwhile nudging Lu Yi awake.
"What’s going on? You’re disturbing my beautiful dream." Lu Yi was awakened, but he was so tired that he rolled over and fell asleep again.
"Get up, there’s something happening." Gu Fan finished dressing and rushed outside the tent, waking more people up.
No one knew what had happened, but upon hearing Gu Fan’s call, they all got out of their tents one by one, looking confused. Su Hui frowned: "What’s happened, Gu Fan? Have Ning Qi and the others already left?"
