Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: Band Together

Gu Fan immediately turned around and saw the mechanism in the passage behind him turning, sinking the broken large fan into the tunnel, and then dropping a new fan from above.

"What’s this, playing dirty?" Lu Yi protested, but his protest was futile. The artificial intelligence Xiaolan was very proud, "Yes, this is my territory, I can do whatever I want here, I set the rules of the game, and I never said that once you pass the level, I can’t still play tricks."

Lu Yi expressed his admiration, "Well done, you, an artificial beauty, have a thicker skin than me."

Irina shouted anxiously, "Everyone rush through while the fan isn’t spinning yet, hurry and brace yourselves."

"Do you think I would still give you a chance?" The artificial intelligence Xiaolan smiled slightly, and the fan began to spin.

Everyone’s heart chilled, knowing that it was too late to stop the fan from starting.

Gu Fan looked around, then shouted, "Everyone gather around Irina, all hug together."

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Irina, with somewhat mischievous looks that instantly made Irina’s skin crawl.

"Everyone charge, unite and hold onto Irina tightly." Lu Yi was the first to rush towards Irina, and others were inspired and rushed over as well.

"You guys!" Irina saw everyone clustering around her, the first time so many men fighting over her, she was overwhelmed.

Just as people were about to pounce on her, Irina crossed her arms and quickly crouched down, no one managed to grab her. She gritted her teeth secretly, vowing to remember this.

Nearly one hundred fifty people clung tightly together, gaining a significant combined weight, despite being a bit squished and hot, it was the only way they could see to survive.

The fan spun faster and the suction grew stronger, everyone only felt the wind howling by their sides, and they were being pulled by a powerful force.

The strong wind slowly pushed nearly one hundred fifty people step by step towards the fan, everyone knew it was a matter of life and death, all legs mustered all their strength, firmly pushing against the ground, initiating a tug-of-war.

Ten minutes later, thanks to everyone’s concerted efforts, they were only moved ten steps, still a long distance from the fan.

Seeing this, the artificial intelligence Xiaolan knew that this method wouldn’t solve these people, so she changed her mind, snapped her fingers, and the fan stopped spinning, the wind also gradually came to a halt.

Not until the surroundings were peaceful did everyone come back from their panic, then separated one by one.

Irina, crouched at the very center underneath, was extremely uncomfortable, squeezed by numerous legs, her hairstyle completely messed up.

As people dispersed, Irina, infuriated, went to find the instigator Gu Fan, grabbing him by the collar, "What does this mean, in that situation, and you still making fun of me?"

To this, Gu Fan explained, "I had no choice, I had to give everyone a point to rally, and you were the first I saw, you were the popular choice."

"To hell with being the popular choice, if it weren’t for my wit, I was nearly embraced by over a hundred men..." Irina got angrier the more she talked, almost leaping to bite Gu Fan.

Gu Fan repeatedly apologized and then steered the conversation toward the big picture, hoping Irina would focus on the overall situation and forgive him this time.

Everyone also pleaded on behalf of Gu Fan, since Irina wasn’t really harmed after all.

Although still angry, Irina couldn’t argue under the circumstances, swallowing her frustrations. However, when she saw Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin struggling to suppress their laughter, Irina was furious.

The artificial intelligence Xiaolan said, "Congratulations, you have successfully passed another level, up next, I will raise the difficulty."

Lu Yi immediately spoke up, "Does that mean if we pass the next level, we can go home?"

"How wishful, as long as you don’t escape, my resolve to eliminate you never changes." After saying this, the artificial intelligence Xiaolan clenched her fist, a determined look on her face.

Hearing this, everyone forced a smile, silently lamenting that this artificial intelligence Xiaolan was more serious than Xiaozi and Xiaohong before.

Lu Yi added, "You are a high-level artificial beauty, can’t you have your own opinions, not just blindly follow what others have set for you?"

The artificial intelligence Xiaolan was first taken aback, then showed a look of sudden realization, "You’re absolutely right, I should indeed have my own opinions, my setting is to eliminate all intruders here, I can totally go against this kind of setting."

"Yes, yes, you can totally treat us with enthusiasm," Lu Yi showed an expectant look, but others were also astonished, possibly being convinced by Lu Yi about this AI.

Only to see the artificial intelligence Xiaolan displaying a disdainful expression, "Wishful thinking, if I listened to you, then I wouldn’t be an artificial intelligence, I’d be artificially impaired."

Just when the hopes were dashed, everyone had to admit, indeed it was an artificial intelligence, not easily fooled.

"Alright, let’s move forward," Gu Fan stretched his limbs, then continued walking forward.

Everyone’s spirits lifted, quickly following Gu Fan’s pace, even the previously upset Irina caught up, after all they had been through, everyone was convinced that Gu Fan could lead them to survival.

Gu Fan also felt the heavy responsibility everyone placed on him, the more so, the more he couldn’t let everyone down, that pressure made his steps feel a bit heavier.

Irina was the first to notice Gu Fan’s condition, guessing the pressure he was under, she moved next to Gu Fan and said, "I know what you’re thinking, don’t worry, don’t feel burdened, just lead us forward, no matter what we face ahead, none of us will blame you, because this is everyone’s choice."

Hearing this, Gu Fan was taken aback, then noticed the trusting looks from Irina and everyone else around him, entrusting everything to him.

"Alright, such blind trust in me, I will give my all, I will make sure even more people leave here alive." Gu Fan was feeling the trust and expectations from so many for the first time, filled with courage and bravado.

Afterward, Gu Fan’s reputation spread widely in the mercenary world, becoming a figure many mercenaries wanted to follow, which laid the foundation for Gu Fan to confront even more formidable enemies in the future.

Gu Fan would not have expected that all his actions today were preparations for a sweeping storm in the future.
