Chapter 1699: Different Hearts, Facing Adversity Together
The group was led into a building within the abandoned town. Since the building hadn’t been maintained, it was overgrown with weeds, and the smell was unpleasant.
"Stay together, no one is allowed to wander off," the boss barked, swinging his gun in a threatening motion at the group.
At this point, no one dared to act recklessly. Nobody wanted to encounter the unknown creature, and some even felt these desperados might be their best chance for protection.
Though these desperados might seem fearsome when bullying the weak, now, faced with an unknown creature, the fear gnawed at their resolve.
Outside, the building remained eerily quiet. The unsettling silence only heightened everyone’s anxiety, their hearts pounding furiously.
Gu Fan raised his hand and cautioned the group. Previously, he’d heard strange noises before the unknown creature launched its attack. He warned everyone to stay vigilant if they heard anything unusual.
The boss nodded silently, and everyone perked up their ears, straining to listen to their surroundings.
Time passed, but no sound emerged. Some wondered if the creature was intimidated by the sheer number of people and decided to back off.
The fear remained, however. Gu Fan couldn’t shake off his unease. He had a gut feeling that the creature wouldn’t give up so easily. Blocking off the tunnel and trapping them here—that had to mean...
Suddenly, Gu Fan acted on impulse. He dropped to the ground, pressing his ear to the floor to listen for movement.
Everyone held their breath, tension thick in the air.
