Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter
Chapter 17: The Trap
Su Yuyang's interest gradually waned, but he didn't stop walking.
When he reached the twentieth floor, the shouts of Song Ruhai and Shen Changge below became clearly audible.
"They don't run away, they just keep shouting nearby, what are they trying to do?"
Su Yuyang's doubts deepened, and after a moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Could it be that they're trying to lure away the mutated beasts downstairs? If so, what are their companions doing in the camp?"
Thinking of this, Su Yuyang became interested and quickened his pace downstairs, eager to get downstairs immediately.
......
Meanwhile, on the third basement level of the building, in a pitch-black passageway where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, only the footsteps of Lin Xuanzhi and the two girls could be heard.
The three of them crouched low and moved quickly forward, their minds replaying the words that President Mo Zhiyu had personally instructed them before they escaped the camp.
"Hidden in the underground cave are the blood energy crystals stored by the Night Watch camp. You must find a way to become gifted individuals and avenge everyone in the camp."
Lin Xuanzhi walked at the front, lowered her voice, and solemnly reminded him.
"Be careful. Although the people from the Ash Earth Camp have left temporarily, they might still have some tricks up their sleeves. We must not let our guard down."
The two sisters, Luo Lingsha and Luo Lingyu, behind Lin Xuanzhi gave a soft "hmm" and followed closely behind, their palms unconsciously sweating.
The two of them would occasionally look back at the passageway behind them, a vague unease always lingering in their hearts.
This unease wasn't without reason, but there was always a feeling that something was amiss.
When the three arrived, the floor at the entrance of the passageway was intact.
Apart from the corpses of some survivors from the Night Watch camp, there were no other traces on the ground, as if the people of the Ash Earth camp only killed here.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy they felt. The people of the Ash Earth Camp were not only brutal, but how could they easily let any part of the Night Watch Camp go?
"Perhaps everyone in the camp who knew about this secret cave died in battle, which is why the people in the Ash Earth Camp didn't discover it."
Lin Xuanzhi sensed the sisters' tension and tried to comfort them, but her tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
She also knew that in a camp with hundreds of people, it was impossible for everyone to keep a secret.
Especially the camp's higher-ups, many of whom knew the secret of this secret cave.
If captured by the people of the Ash Earth Camp, they might not be able to withstand the torture.
Xuanzhi and her two sisters could only console themselves with the thought that perhaps those high-ranking officials had already died in the battle with the Ash Earth Camp, their bodies never to be found, and they had all perished in the war.
The three of them walked through the dark tunnel for almost half an hour, and just when they were about to give up, a faint glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pitch-black iron gate, firmly sealing off the end of the passageway.
Lin Xuanzhi stepped forward first and pushed the iron gate with all her might, but the iron gate did not budge, as if it were integrated with the walls of the underground cave.
The three of them took turns stepping forward and ramming the iron gate together. They rammed it more than thirty times, but the iron gate remained tightly sealed, showing no sign of loosening.
The three women exchanged glances, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.
Lin Xuanzhi spoke first, her tone tinged with excitement.
"This is good news. The iron gate is intact, proving that the people at the Ash Earth Camp didn't discover this place. The Blood Energy Crystal inside should still be there!"
Luo Lingsha frowned, her tone tinged with worry.
"Even so, we still can't open this iron gate. I'm afraid even if we call Song Ruhai and Shen Changge together, the five of us combined might not be able to push it open."
Her gaze fell on the iron gate, her eyes filled with helplessness. The iron gate was incredibly heavy, and it was impossible for the few of them to budge it with their combined strength.
"Ling Sha, you mean you want to contact Jiang Xiaochen and the others?"
Lin Xuanzhi turned her head to look at the two people beside her. In the dark passageway, her bright eyes stood out.
"For now, this is the only way. Jiang Xiaochen and his twelve companions might actually be able to help us open this iron gate."
Just now, Lin Xuanzhi was thinking that if she called Song Ruhai and Shen Changge over, the five of them working together might be able to push open this iron gate.
But after considering it, they gave up the idea. Song Ruhai and Shen Changge did not become gifted individuals, so even if they came, it would be useless.
The iron gate was even sturdier than they had imagined.
Lin Xuanzhi took a deep breath and said to the two sisters.
"Alright, you two stay here. I'll go out and inform Song Ruhai and the other two to have Shen Changge contact Jiang Xiaochen and the others immediately and get here as soon as possible."
Nowadays, apart from the occasional mutated beast, there are only a few people left in the night watch camp, so there should be no danger.
The two sisters nodded silently in agreement.
Without further hesitation, Lin Xuanzhi drew a broken dagger from her waist, handed it to Luo Lingsha, and solemnly instructed her.
"You two must take good care of yourselves and never leave here easily. I'll be back soon."
Luo Lingsha took the dagger, gripped it tightly in her hand, nodded, glanced at her younger sister Luo Lingyu beside her, and then looked at Lin Xuanzhi to make a promise.
"Don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves and wait for you to come back."
"We will definitely succeed in obtaining the Blood Energy Crystal, become a gifted individual, avenge our brother, and avenge the club president and everyone else in the Night Watch camp."
Luo Lingyu nodded vigorously, a resolute glint in her eyes. Although she was still uneasy, she did not back down in the slightest.
Lin Xuanzhi turned around and walked quickly towards the entrance of the tunnel, her figure soon disappearing into the dark tunnel.
Just as her figure completely disappeared, the iron door behind Luo Lingsha and Luo Lingyu suddenly creaked, breaking the silence of the passageway.
The iron door, which had been tightly sealed, slowly opened inward from the left, and a blurry black shadow flashed past through the crack.
This scene startled Luo Lingsha and Luo Lingyu, who froze and instinctively turned their heads sharply to look.
But when they saw what was peeking through the crack in the door, their pupils suddenly contracted, and their faces instantly lost all color.
The two were so frightened that they stumbled backward, their legs going weak, and Luo Lingsha almost dropped the short knife in her hand.
Through the crack in the door, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring intently at them, filled with cold killing intent and greed; those were definitely not human eyes.
Before they could take three steps back, the afterimage suddenly darted out from inside the iron gate with astonishing speed.
Before the two women could even cry out, a pair of cold, large hands grabbed their arms tightly and yanked them both into the iron gate.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud "bang," the iron gate slammed shut again, completely shutting out all darkness and sound.
In the pitch-black passageway, only deathly silence remained.
