Chapter 676: Find a Way to Escape
The mysterious island had sunk into the sea, but not a single drop of water had made it into the island’s experimental base within. Gu Fan and Su Hui had been cooped up in a tiny cabinet for too long and felt the need to move around and stretch their limbs and necks.
"My God, who knows how long we’ll have to stay here." Gu Fan was slightly worried. If the fog failed to appear for several days and the island remained submerged, even if Gu Fan and Su Hui managed to escape the island, their companions would probably be nowhere to be found.
Su Hui calmly reassured him, "You have to believe in everyone. They won’t give up that easily."
Gu Fan replied with a bitter smile, "It’s not that I don’t trust everyone, but they haven’t seen us for several days. They might give up hope, or start to falter, just as I would."
What Su Hui said made sense. Who would have thought they would find a place of refuge inside a sinking island?
"What about Lin Xi? You waited for her for such a long time on Yuxueyun Mountain. You are the one among us who believes in her survival the most. Lin Xi loves you very much. She must believe that you’re alive." Su Hui tried to inspire more hope in Gu Fan, however, he wasn’t as optimistic. "Even if Lin Xi loves me very much, she can’t wait for me forever. After not seeing me for such a long time, her hope will gradually erode. Even if she still loves me, she would have to accept reality."
Gu Fan sank into thought. "What would Lin Xi do? She definitely wants to avenge me, but she more clearly understands my wishes. She would protect everyone and leave, especially Gu Ling. So, once Lin Xi accepts reality, she would probably take everyone and leave."
Su Hui agreed with Gu Fan’s prediction. Suddenly feeling a wave of exhaustion, Gu Fan added another point, "Now our only hope is the big boss and Qian Feng. Considering the big boss’ character and deep hatred for immortality, he will continue to track the island. Similarly, Qian Feng might also be active. In other words, these two individuals are likely the keys for us to escape the predicament."
Upon hearing this, an expression of helplessness appeared on Su Hui’s face. "Who would have thought that our enemies would become our only hope for leaving this place?"
"Yeah. Lin Xi now shoulders a great responsibility. Her decision greatly affects everyone’s safety. If it were me, I would also find it difficult to make a decision. To gamble everyone’s lives on the hope of my survival is a big risk." Suddenly a critical point hit Su Hui, "Gu Fan, do you think Lin Xi would let everyone go first? She would let them take care of Gu Ling and then she would join the big boss’s side to continue searching for the island."
Gu Fan frowned, "Both possibilities exist. If we could find something here that would enable us to send a signal to the outside world, letting them know we are alive..."
"Right, let’s look around. My wounds feel a lot better now. Even if we run into Lisa, I should be able to handle it." Having said this, Su Hui took the lead.
