Chapter 1030: Gathering Forces, Preparing for the Final Assault
Back in the modern era, within an abandoned factory, David was calibrating the space-time door, his heart racing. The time agreed upon to open it was fast approaching again. He remembered that they had activated it five times already, but not once had Gu Fan and his team returned.
"This is bad, this is so bad. We’ve lost three people at once; it’s a huge setback," Lu Yi lamented pessimistically.
Jie quickly covered Lu Yi’s mouth: "Please, don’t be a doomsayer. We’re already worried enough as it is."
"Exactly my point. It would have been great if everyone had tried to stop Sister Su from going back to the ancient era," Lu Yi said, his spirit deflated. Now, it was up to the few of them to defend the space-time door, which was no easy feat.
Gu Ling offered words of encouragement: "Relax. My sensing abilities are top-notch and they have never failed me. Up to now, I haven’t sensed any danger, which means that Qian Ye hasn’t found this place yet."
Helen agreed: "Exactly, we’ve prepared enough food and water since settling here and we haven’t stepped away. If Qian Ye still hasn’t found this place by now, it means she’s still unaware of it. We can consider ourselves safe."
"I hope you’re right," Lu Yi couldn’t bring himself to feel optimistic. Then he added, "But what if Qian Ye is just biding her time to gather strength? I can’t believe she wouldn’t have a way to find this place. Let’s not forget she has Qian Feng by her side."
"For heaven’s sake, can’t you say anything positive?" the others looked at him pleadingly, and Lu Yi realized he had misspoken, so he quickly fell silent.
Gu Ling suddenly remembered a critical point: "Lu Yi, even though you always jinx us and it causes us so much trouble, every time, we’ve managed to turn the tide and achieve our final goal."
