Chapter 653: Maze and Fog
Even on the island, the mist was heavy, and they couldn’t see anything beyond thirty steps. This meant that if any danger approached, they would not be able to detect it in advance.
Lu Yi started to worry, "With this kind of situation, are we really going to go forward? Just so you know, I’m not leading the way."
"Don’t worry, no one’s asking you to lead," Gu Fan reassured him, then glanced at the boss. If anyone could handle this situation, it would be the boss.
The boss caught Gu Fan’s glance but made no response. Instead, Hai moved to the front with his subordinates, slowly forging a path with guns at the ready.
Jie was worried about Hai. They didn’t know what they’d encounter on the island. The first group to venture out was bound to suffer.
Gu Fan frowned, then said, "Sister Su, you bring up the rear. The rest of you follow." After speaking, Gu Fan moved forward, maintaining a certain distance from the boss. He didn’t want to get too close, and the distance would also allow the boss to intervene in case of danger.
The island had no trees, but there were many towering stones. The deeper into the island they got, the more these stones appeared. Some stood close together, others formed forks in the path.
"God, the mist was bad enough, and it’s nighttime too. Now with all these stones, it feels like we’ve wandered into a maze." Not only did Lu Yi feel this way, but Gu Fan did too.
This couldn’t go on. Gu Fan hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Don’t go forward anymore, we’re about to lose our bearing!"
