Chapter 368: Unique Crystal Ball
At this point, the Big Boss, Hai, Cui Qi, and a handful of their subordinates had arrived at the fourth floor of the bell tower. They found a control room, not knowing exactly what it was, frantically pressed a few buttons, and the electronic protective barrier outside disappeared as a result.
"Alright, let’s search somewhere else." The Big Boss quickened his trip as he spoke, believing that the most important things must be stored on the top floor and wanted to get there as quickly as possible.
However, this place was large, and some of the stairs leading up were difficult to find. The Big Boss and his men felt like they were moving in circles on the third floor before they finally made it to the fourth floor.
This massive tower must have at least nine levels, each of which was at least triple the height of a conventional house. Now that they were on the fourth floor, the Big Boss felt as though their progress was quite slow. Moreover, numerous can’t-be-used elevators had been destroyed – leaving them with no option but to use their legs.
Su Hui, Zhuo Hang, and Jie also arrived on the fourth floor, but didn’t bump into the Big Boss. This place was so big, filled with many corridors and rooms, they hadn’t run into each other yet, each party was searching on their own.
In one room, Xu Haowen found a great deal of books. The text seemed strange, and he had no idea what information they contained. However, he thought they were worth studying, so he kept them.
Everything of value inside this bell tower had already been taken away, leaving only meaningless junk behind. Yet Xu Haowen, an archaeologist by training, found everything fascinating and worthy of investigation.
"Alright, there’s no need to waste our time on these unknown things, we don’t even know if they are valuable. We need to find Gu Fan quickly," Su Hui said, her purpose in coming here was not to find any rare treasures.
Jie also nodded in agreement: "That’s enough, Gu Fan signaled us that he found food and drink, and those are the most important things to people like us who are currently in dire straits."
