Chapter 567: A Narrow Escape
The cabin was already filled with fog now, and Gu Fan had been separated from his companions. Listening to the dreadful cries, Gu Fan panicked, only wanting to find a safe place as fast as he could.
While running, Gu Fan ended up in the kitchen. He remembered that there was a line of cabinets used for storage in the kitchen, which had quite a large space. It might be ideal for hiding.
In the urgency of the situation, Gu Fan quickly found the row of cabinets. As he opened a cabinet door, he was almost startled to find a pirate hiding within.
The pirate was terrified out of his wits too and let out a sigh of relief to see it was not a beast but a person.
"What? You pirates are really useless." Gu Fan had just finished saying that when heavy footsteps approached. Gu Fan instantly broke out in a cold sweat and quickly squeezed in the cabinet.
The row of cabinets was vast, but large enough for two people to hide. Gu Fan hid in the back half of the cabinet, and the pirate was crouched in the front half, curled up in a ball, trying to control his breath and heartbeat.
The footsteps approached closer to them, seeming to have reached the kitchen. The clanging sounds of pots and pans being hit were heard, the invisible fear torturing Gu Fan’s and the pirate’s nerves.
Through the cabinet door’s slit, Gu Fan saw something moving outside, but he couldn’t see it clearly, praying that its intelligence was not high enough to rummage through the cabinets.
The footsteps grew even closer, causing Gu Fan’s heart to pound violently. He could sense the person or thing was right outside the cabinet.
