Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

General Horton’s expression stiffened slightly, his decision at this moment would impact the situation greatly. Accepting Gu Fan’s suggestion would hurt his pride but rejecting it meant parting ways with Gu Fan, which was even worse.

"What’s going on, the staircase isn’t enough, is it?" Gu Fan sighed inwardly. The issue of face really was a big problem, so he made a pleading gesture, "General Horton, I beg you to reconsider my suggestion. I know I am young and inexperienced, and you must have considered this more thoroughly. If you decide to continue forward, then fine, we will follow you. If you decide to camp here, then we will comply exactly."

General Horton gave a slight smile, realizing how things stood, "Alright, this time we’ll follow your suggestion to set up camp. I’ve thought it over, and worrying about vampires catching up isn’t a solution. We can’t keep going without stopping; we’d get too exhausted to handle any emergencies."

Some people echoed in agreement, "Right, if the vampires are going to chase us, they will catch up sooner or later. We might as well rest up and conserve our energy."

And so it was decided: everyone got off and one by one set up tents and the defense system.

Seeing everyone busy setting up the temporary camp, Su Hui walked up to Gu Fan and showed admiration, even saying, "You really did give General Horton face, saying things like if General Horton decides to continue on, you would follow him and such, all just nonsense, right?"

Gu Fan showed a helpless expression, "There’s no way around it, I had to say it or General Horton wouldn’t step down."

"Well, now let’s consider what to do if things turn out as we expect," Su Hui became anxious, cautiously looking around, but all was still calm.

Gu Fan nodded, his expression somewhat tense, "What I’m more worried about now is that the vampires won’t pursue us."
