Chapter 1660: Volcanic Eruption
The top priority now is to rescue the Big Boss and Lord Xiong. Don’t worry about anything else. As Gu Fan sprinted toward the critical laboratory, he kept reminding himself not to be swayed by Ning Qi’s words earlier. He had to shake off those chaotic thoughts.
Yet Ning Qi’s words kept echoing in Gu Fan’s mind: Lin Xi is dead, Su Hui is gone, so why didn’t you choose me?
What on earth did she mean? Could it be that after Su Hui left, the Demon King picked another woman—but that person wasn’t Ning Qi? Was that why Ning Qi held such resentment? But who could this woman possibly be?
Gu Fan shook his head forcefully, trying not to dwell on such matters. Perhaps this woman would reveal herself later, so for now, it was impossible to figure out her identity.
When Gu Fan reached the critical laboratory, he saw numerous people sprawled across the ground at the entrance, their bodies haphazardly piled. It seemed as though many enemies had come to stop them earlier, but they had all been defeated by Zhuo Hang.
"Nice work!" Gu Fan complimented as he stepped inside and saw that the battle had already ended. Qian Xue had been defeated and now lay unconscious on the ground.
Zhuo Hang was forcing a few captured individuals to work the instruments and release the Big Boss and Lord Xiong.
It appeared that the tide had turned. Gu Fan took the opportunity to converse with Leng Feng and Lin Yue, discovering that their battles hadn’t been too arduous—aside from Qian Xue, who was slightly tough to deal with. The other enemies were merely numerous but posed little threat.
After hearing the general rundown, Gu Fan furrowed his brow and carefully examined the defeated enemies on the ground. He wondered whether Ning Qi had concentrated her forces solely on targeting him.
