Chapter 679: The Only Chance to Escape
Gu Fan continued to ponder, and the longer he contemplated, the more anxious Lisa grew.
"If this island is a secret base, then sinking it in the sea would make it hard for people to discover. Keeping it mobile would make it even harder to find. When it emerges, using fog for camouflage is intended to prevent anyone from finding it. Choosing to surface on gloomy nights matches the conditions under which fog occurs, making it seem reasonable. But what’s strange is that if it’s a secret base, why does it need to surface? To breathe fresh air? I don’t believe that the ancient Super Civilization lacked an air circulation purification system," Gu Fan said, all the while gazing at Lisa, whose expression became increasingly unnatural.
Su Hui caught on, "So Gu Fan, you mean, the island doesn’t need to float above the sea surface, it can remain submerged. But for convenience, Lisa manipulates it to surface under gloomy conditions and release the fog."
"Exactly, the island doesn’t float above the sea for Lisa to act, but Lisa controls the island to float above the sea when she needs to act. Lisa, you know the control room and how to control this island, don’t you?" Gu Fan questioned, putting pressure on Lisa.
"What are you blabbering on about? I don’t understand a word," Lisa retorted, turning away from Gu Fan. The fleeting look of panic in her eyes, however, did not escape Su Hui’s notice.
Gu Fan proceeded, "Lisa, you also know that the situation isn’t in any of our favors right now. You want to survive, and so do I. Everyone wants to survive, so we have to cooperate. You must tell me everything you know."
Lisa scoffed, "Tell you everything I know and then have your companions come in, won’t that eliminate my footing here?"
Hearing this, Gu Fan understood that he was pushing Lisa too hard, but Su Hui casually replied, "Well, say nothing, then. When the Wandering Sea Ghosts break in, you won’t even be able to survive, let alone find a place to stand."
"Well..." Lisa gritted her teeth in silence, clearly hesitating.
