Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302 Finally Made Up

General Horton couldn’t listen anymore, "Enough, stop talking about that. Even if we know it’s the artificial intelligence causing trouble, we’re still not getting out of here, and the result is the same, trapped to die in this place." After speaking, General Horton pointed his gun at Gu Fan’s head.

The artificial intelligence Xiaolan clapped and cheered, "Worthy of being the leader, acting decisively and with courage, I like it."

"Like hell you do. If you had a physical body, I would have strangled you long ago," Lu Yi fumed, almost really rushing over to take out the artificial intelligence.

Coldly, General Horton said, "Gu Fan, I don’t want to make this difficult for you. I’m doing this for the good of everyone. Sacrificing one person, Lu Yi, can save everyone else. That’s the bigger picture."

"You people who lead troops into battle think that there’s always a need for sacrifice in war, that for victory, we must not fear sacrifice," Gu Fan said with a look of contempt in his eyes. "But this is not a battle. It’s not about defending our country or our homes, and your mindset is not appropriate here."

General Horton’s expression darkened, "I don’t care about that. I brought everyone here, and it’s my responsibility to bring as many people out as possible."

Lu Yi put on a look of admiration, "Well said. After all, it’s not you who’s being sacrificed; it’s me. So you don’t feel a shred of sorrow, not a moment’s hesitation."

Gu Fan added, "As I said before, even if we take out Lu Yi and you manage to escape from this place, the Dark Primitive Mountain is so dangerous. Would Organization X let you leave? Even if you luckily get out, do you think Su Hui, Lin Xi, Zhuo Hang will let you off easily?"

Hearing this, a chill ran down General Horton’s spine; how could he have forgotten about Su Hui, Lin Xi, and Zhuo Hang.

"If you back down now, I can pretend nothing happened," Gu Fan’s stern gaze and fearless demeanor unsettled General Horton, leaving him uncertain on how to decide.

The tense atmosphere finally eased. Gu Fan cleared his throat and pointed to a stone wall, "Alright, if no one has any objections, let’s start figuring out how to get out of here."

"Do you really have a way to leave?" Everyone’s hopeful eyes turned back to Gu Fan.

Gu Fan touched the stone wall next to him and said, "Since this stone wall has been moved, it indicates a mechanism controls it. Moreover, to change the maze’s layout at any time, moving these stone walls certainly can’t be too difficult. It’s like a door; it can’t be made solid. That would increase the weight of the door, making it very heavy and difficult to open. And since it’s a door, if there’s no key to open it, we’ll just break through."

"Are you saying these movable stone walls are hollow?" Everyone suddenly realized, then started touching the stone walls.

"Whether they are or not, let’s find out by trying." After saying this, Gu Fan shouted and, using all his power, struck the stone wall.

With a loud bang, the stone wall shattered, turning to dust, and as Gu Fan had speculated, the moved stone wall was hollow and therefore easily broken by him.

Everyone was stunned—it really was possible.

If one wall could be broken, more could be, and with a simple and brutal approach, they could break out. Just as Gu Fan prepared to continue in this manner, the artificial intelligence Xiaolan objected, "Stop joking around. You’re damaging my things, ruining my territory. Don’t push it."

"Alright, I’ll stop causing trouble; just let us go, let us pass this level," Lu Yi smirked, walking over and buddy-buddying up to Xiaolan as if they were close friends.

"If we weren’t so pressed for time, I would have made these stone walls sturdier. With the technological power we possess here, even if the walls were solid, they could be easily moved," Xiaolan retorted with a disdainful pout, seemingly unresigned, but eventually deciding to control the maze, move the stone walls, and let out a path for Gu Fan and the others.

"Thank goodness, we’re saved," Lu Yi couldn’t help but cheer and then called out to Xiaolan, "As a reward for passing, give us some food and water, or we won’t have the strength to step into your next meticulously set trap."

"You really do push your luck." Although Xiaolan was reluctant, she still complied and brought food and water.

Suddenly everyone was energized, grabbing the food and water and shoving it into their mouths, not caring about how it looked.

As he ate, Gu Fan asked, "I’d like to inquire about the condition of my three companions."

"They are truly capable, and they’ve almost breached the core area of this secret research base," Xiaolan said, then glanced back at those wolfing down their food, unable to resist adding, "You really have foresight. Carrying these people would slow them down."

Gu Fan smiled, "Thanks for the compliment. I just want to know where the vampire medicine is positioned here. You wouldn’t be so petty as to keep making us pass tests one after another."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan’s expression perked up with interest, "Alright, if you can pass the next few levels, as a final reward, I will give you what you want."

Lu Yi chimed in, "Don’t be like that. This is your jurisdiction; you’re responsible for guarding this place. Those vampires also drank your medicine and escaped right under your nose. It’s a disgrace to your career, and our arrival is here to help you wash away that shame."

That sounded quite reasonable, but Xiaolan stood firm, "Once you’ve passed the next few levels and proved your strength, I can trust you with this item."

"I mean, come on. After all the trials and life-or-death challenges we’ve faced along the way, doesn’t that prove our strength and resolve? You’re an artificial intelligence, after all; please give us some objective assessment," Lu Yi’s words nearly made Xiaolan roll her virtual eyes.

"Enough, I won’t waste more words with you. Once you’ve eaten and rested, hurry on your way. I’m off to prepare the next surprise. Remember, you must come," Xiaolan concluded, then disappeared on the spot.

Seeing they hadn’t managed to sway the artificial intelligence, Gu Fan and Lu Yi were somewhat dejected and cursed the ancient Super Civilization internally for creating such difficult-to-deal-with artificial intelligences.

At that moment, a mercenary came over, his expression solemn, and on behalf of everyone, he earnestly apologized to Gu Fan, "I’m sorry, we were wrong before. We were only thinking about surviving. Our selfishness and cowardice were grotesque. Now we swear on the honor of mercenaries that we will never repeat this act of killing comrades for survival. We hope you can forgive us and accept us once more."
