Chapter 74 Team Up to Escape
"Connor, don't talk nonsense!"
Maggie looked around warily.
She feared that her child's slip of the tongue might cause further unrest among the survivors.
"Mom, I'm telling the truth!"
Connor lowered his voice and pointed to a man in the distance, saying:
"That's what that uncle said."
Li Yuan, who was keeping an eye on Connor's movements, quickly looked in the direction Connor was pointing.
A man was seen climbing upwards, seemingly trying to escape alone.
Li Yuan looked at the other person and felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to be the person who played cards with Diwen.
Maggie angrily dragged Connor toward the man.
She shouted the man's name loudly:
"Dylan! What did you say to Connor?"
Li Yuan followed silently behind him.
It's clear that Maggie and Dylan know each other.
Connor looked anxious and tried to tell his mother the escape route he had overheard.
But Maggie didn't believe her son at all; she just stared at the man named Dylan.
He pleaded, saying:
"Tell Connor that it's all fake."
Dylan said helplessly:
"I've studied the ship's structure, and there is indeed a chance to escape."
Upon hearing this, Connor looked at Dylan and pleaded:
"Please take me and my mom with you, okay?"
At this moment, the sound of their argument attracted the attention of several people.
This included the middle-aged man who had just rescued Connor with Li Yuan, an elderly man with white hair, and Devin who came after hearing the commotion.
"My God, Li Yuan, I've finally found you!"
Devon ran breathlessly to Li Yuan's side and grabbed his arm.
Li Yuan frowned, took a half-step back, and asked in a low voice:
"Divin, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much, I just...want to be with you."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan took another half step back.
Considering the large number of cases in Nantong, USA,
He had to be careful around every man who tried to get close to him.
Amidst the crowd still debating whether they should look for a way out...
An elderly man with white hair suddenly spoke up:
"I don't think the captain is right."
My name is Richard, and I'm an architect. This ship isn't meant to float upside down.
The middle-aged man looked at Dylan and asked curiously:
Do you know anything about this ship?
"I understand it fairly well."
Dylan nodded seriously.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask:
"Do you know where the disco is?"
"On the next floor."
Dylan pointed to the top of his head and said:
"So, the floor above us now, would you like to go dancing?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"My name is Robert, and I'm going to find my daughter; she should be there."
Hearing Robert's words, Dylan shook his head and said:
"I never said I was leaving with you."
Li Yuan, who was listening nearby, understood perfectly well that Dylan clearly only wanted to escape on his own.
He slowly walked over to Dylan and said:
"You can't escape alone."
Nobody knows what's going on up there; only by helping each other can we have a chance to escape.
With Li Yuan's strength, nothing could stop him from escaping.
But the fear is that we won't be able to find a way out and will be trapped in the cabin.
Therefore, he needs someone who understands ship hull structure to guide him.
Li Yuan's words immediately resonated with those around him.
Robert agreed, saying:
"And we also need a mentor."
As he spoke, he looked at the waiter who had helped with the rescue and said:
"Hey, you're a staff member, right?"
The waiter nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes."
Robert then asked:
"Do you know where the nearest vertical entrance is?"
The waiter pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly:
"The service elevator appears to be in the hallway."
"OK, here's double pay for you to show us the way."
The waiter didn't speak, but simply pursed his lips and slowly extended three fingers.
"make a deal."
Robert turned to look at Dylan, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Dylan sighed and said in a tone that sounded like advice:
"If you're sure you want to come with me, then get on."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan turned to Megan and said:
"Let's go, it's not safe here."
Megan nodded decisively and followed without hesitation.
Devin called out anxiously from behind:
"Hey! Wait for me, I'll go with you!"
Seeing everyone follow Dylan up onto the platform,
After some hesitation, Maggie pulled her son along and followed.
After all, even if there's only the slightest chance, no one wants to wait here to die.
The group of eight adults and one child struggled to climb toward the exit that was hanging upside down in the air.
The captain noticed the group of people who had left.
In particular, former New York City Mayor Robert Ramsey.
He shouted at Robert:
"Ramsey, are you really leaving? We're closing the gates!"
However, Robert did not respond to him.
All that was left for the captain was a slowly disappearing silhouette.
The captain instructed the crew:
"Go and seal all the doors."
*Click!*
A cold, mechanical click of a door locking mechanism sounded behind me.
The captain ordered the crew to seal off all exits.
Everyone's escape route was completely cut off.
Without hesitation, Li Yuan grabbed Megan's hand and followed the waiter who was leading the way into the kitchen.
At this moment, a few small flames flickered in the kitchen.
The ship's cooks lay sprawled at the end of the kitchen, all dead.
"Oh My God..."
Megan instinctively covered her mouth upon seeing the horrific scene before her.
Dylan cautiously scanned the surrounding area for any possible routes.
He suddenly pointed to an elevator door and said to the waiter beside him:
"Hey, map, I want to know where this leads?"
The waiter quickly replied:
"This is the service elevator!"
Dylan looked at the closed elevator doors and said to the people behind him:
"We need to find something to pry it open."
At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly spoke up:
"Let me give it a try."
He didn't want to be trapped here, as the ship might sink at any moment.
Li Yuan walked to the elevator door, gripped the door crack tightly with both hands, and exerted force with both arms at the same time!
"Creak—!"
The elevator emitted a piercing groan.
Li Yuansheng forcefully pried open the tightly closed elevator doors!
Li Yuan clapped his hands, turned around and said to everyone:
"Phew...it doesn't seem that difficult."
Dylan looked Li Yuan up and down, then nodded and said:
"You're really energetic..."
Desperate to save his daughter, Robert quickly said:
"Quick, find something to put on top of; we need to get to the other side!"
The waiter looked around and found a metal bench, which the group then used to prop it against the edge of the elevator door opposite.
Li Yuan stepped on the stool, and feeling that there was no problem, he spoke:
"I'll try to pry open that door!"
After witnessing Li Yuan's abilities, no one objected to his decision.
After all, there's probably no one here stronger than him.
Li Yuan steadied himself, trying to prevent the bench from shaking, and walked steadily to the elevator door opposite.
Li Yuan gripped the elevator door with both hands again, and with a slight effort, the door was torn open a crack.
But the sight behind the door made Li Yuan close it again, then he turned around and called out:
"You can't get through here, it's all piled up with junk!"
Upon hearing this, Robert pointed to the half-open elevator door above Li Yuan's head and said:
"We can go in from there!"
Without delay, Li Yuan turned around decisively and shouted to the crowd:
"Someone come quick, I need to take him upstairs!"
Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Dylan decisively stepped onto the bench.
He ran quickly to Li Yuan, stepped onto the ladder Li Yuan had set up, and jumped up, successfully climbing to the elevator door upstairs!
Li Yuan anxiously called out again:
"Hurry up! Next one!"
Li Yuan grew increasingly anxious.
Just now, the elevator car above his head made a noticeable shaking sound!
