Chapter 1306: Take You to a Place
Everyone began to proceed with caution, searching confidently and seriously. They traveled down several paths and visited a number of rooms, until they found, in a corner of a wall, a route just large enough for one person to crawl through—practically a drainage channel.
Gu Fan asked the others to stand guard outside while he went ahead and crawled into this drainage channel.
The group waited awhile. Although only a short time had passed, with their nerves on edge, they all hoped Gu Fan would return quickly, feeling that even a second longer in this place was perilously risky.
After a bit more time elapsed, Gu Fan returned and confirmed that the route led outside; it should be the escape route Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, had spoken of.
"No way, making us escape through such a tiny path? That’s pretty stingy." Right after Lu Yi finished speaking, the artificial intelligence Xiaolan popped up, her hands on her hips and her mouth puckered in anger: "I kindly offered you a way out, yet not only are you ungrateful, you even disparage me."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, wondering whose fault it was that they were in this predicament to begin with.
But now was not the time to reason with the artificial intelligence. They had a passageway, and it was likely that the three-eyed monster wouldn’t find it. Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Ouyang Jin, and Irina could use the passageway to safely leave, but what about everyone else?
"We can’t abandon them!" Gu Fan was adamant, not just for any reason, but for those who had stood by his side during perilous moments.
Of course, Irina wouldn’t leave the Hunter’s Guild behind. She picked up her walkie-talkie, only to find that the battery was dead.
