Chapter 350: No Way Out
Hearing someone cry for help, Gu Fan shouted: "Whoever is closest, help them!"
Unexpectedly, Du Changhui said: "The wind is so strong now, we can’t even step out, how can we help?"
Although this was the reality, Gu Fan thought they should at least try. Solutions are discovered by thinking, after all. However, the people swaying below heard Du Changhui’s words and felt abandoned by their companions. Dejected, they finally lost the strength to hold onto the ropes and screamed as they plummeted.
Having heard several such cries, everyone’s heart was stirred. How many people had to sacrifice for them to reach this point?
"Lu Yi, Jie, Ning Qi... answer me!" Gu Fan shouted their names loudly and breathed a sigh of relief when he got a response. It would be okay as long as everyone was safe.
Du Jun secretly clenched his teeth because Gu Fan did not call his name, which meant Gu Fan did not consider him a companion.
"Alright, let’s move on. Everybody, squat down and walk slowly." Led by Gu Fan, everyone used their hands and feet together to climb up the steps. Although this method was slower and caused some knee pain, it was the only emergency solution under such urgent circumstances.
Even Lin Xi crawled, her eyes serious as she kept staring forward without looking at the people behind her. She seemed to completely disregard the fate of the townspeople.
Gu Fan wanted to feel sorry for the townsfolk, but on second thought, why should he care? Was he worrying needlessly?
