“Really?” Yang Min was skeptical.
“Of course it’s true. If not, look at that. Our enemy in the opposite building clearly planned for the elevator to stop here and then kill us. However, look at Grandpa Chi, he’s been standing here since the beginning. Is anyone still shooting at him? So, don’t worry about that. With Nuannuan The Sharpshooter here, nothing will happen.”
Zhong Nuannuan smiled confidently and continued, “Alright, everyone, get up. Let’s go up. We’re already on the 27th floor. It’s nice that we went past the 44th floor where the explosion happened. Let’s go up from here and walk down.”
Then, she looked at Yang Min. “Auntie Yang, can you do it?”
From the moment a small window opened up in the elevator ceiling, Yang Min’s complexion looked much better. She nodded. “I’m energized.”
“Okay, let’s go before we complicate things further.”
On the other side of the building, Chi Yang led the group of men down the stairs without any source of light. As they walked, he said to the people behind him, “Since the enemy isn’t found yet, we have reason to suspect that one of you is a mole. Therefore, please cover your heads with your hands when you walk and don’t allow anyone to take your hands off. Once you do, we’ll treat you as a spy.”
“Captain Chi, the 44th floor has exploded. How are we supposed to go down there?” one of them asked.
“You don’t need to know this. All you need to know is that Captain Chi will lead all of you to safety.”
Luo Shangyi walked behind the person who spoke and answered righteously.
Next to them, Peng Yaohua snorted. Even though no one else heard him, Luo Shangyi understood what he meant.
He could not have been more obvious with what he meant.
Peng Yaohua was convinced that Luo Shangyi was the culprit and that he was the mole in the military base. Saying such pompous words now was akin to wiping guilt on himself.
Luo Shangyi was also furious as he glared at Peng Yaohua.
Leng Jinpeng and Qu Mingyi exchanged glances and the light in their eyes darkened.
Everyone went from the 76th floor to the 57th floor, crossing 19 floors.
Chi Yang pushed open the door to the main lobby and walked towards the back of the lobby.
Lijing Mansion was a twin building, and each building’s lobby was located on the 57th floor.
Under everyone’s hopeful gazes, Chi Yang led everyone to a large balcony at the back of the lobby with Xiao Shenbin’s guidance.
Chi Yang asked everyone to line up, and remain holding their heads with their hands. After ensuring that everyone held this stance, he said, “There is a secret escape route here that allows everyone to move from Block B to Block A. However, due to the limitation on the number of people, only two people can go through each time. Now, based on our current formation, approach me for investigation first.”
As soon as Chi Yang finished speaking, the two people at the front of the line immediately walked forward happily and let Chi Yang examine them. Then, Xiao Shenbin walked out from the other direction. As he walked out, a very narrow passage automatically extended from the bottom of the 57th floor of Block B to the bottom of the 57th floor of Block A.
Based on where they were standing, they could not see anything extending to the other side. It was a perfect shortcut for an escape.
“After crossing over, you’re not allowed to look back in this direction, and you’re not allowed to stay on the other side. Go downstairs immediately, or you’ll be condemned as a spy.”
Although Chi Yang’s words were cruel, almost all the guests supported him. After all, this was for their own safety too.
