Chapter 364: Breaking Through the Barrier
On one side, Gu Fan and Lin Xi were trying to break through the electronic barrier. They had tried throwing all sorts of things at it, but all their efforts were repelled. Even when Lin Xi used her supernatural power to dissolve it a few times, it quickly reassembled. In short, it was extremely sturdy.
Seeing that they had used so many methods with nothing to show for it, Lu Yi couldn’t help but say: "It’s indeed a high-tech gadget. We’re at a loss here, it’s quite the embarrassment."
Though this may be true, it felt especially demoralising. Nevertheless, no one had the leisure to roll their eyes at Lu Yi.
Du Changhui gazed at the towering bell tower, his eyes almost bulging out. "I can’t accept this. We are so close, I just can’t accept it. After coming this far, are we just going to let all our previous efforts go to waste?"
Gu Fan saw that there was hardly any hope, and he wanted to say something to console Du Changhui. Looking at Du’s desperate persistence, he knew it was pointless. Their obsession with immortality had clearly surpassed their rationality.
"Gu Fan, we can’t go back, can we?" Leng Le looked at Gu Fan, her eyes filled with mournfulness, as if she didn’t want to accept the reality.
"I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’ve burdened you." Gu Fan felt very guilty and found it hard to meet Leng Le’s gaze. Suddenly, he felt he shouldn’t have involved Leng Le, bringing her so much trouble and danger.
Gu Fan also looked at Lu Yi, but Lu Yi had a nonchalant expression: "Don’t look at me. When I meddled and got into trouble, you and Sister Su didn’t hesitate to help me. When I decided to join this adventure with you, I knew what I might encounter. I anticipated the worst-case scenarios. But it’s no big deal, because I have so many people with me, I feel it’s worth it. Look, we have Queen Qianye, a top-tier tycoon, and several beautiful women. I reckon I’m the worst performer here, and even if anyone suffered a loss, it wouldn’t be me."
Upon hearing this, everyone suppressed their laughter. It was rare for Lu Yi to lighten the mood in such a tense situation, but that didn’t help much. Pessimism soon descended again, and nobody had the spirit to joke around.
