Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 1520: Friend or Foe

Chapter 1520: Chapter 1520: Friend or Foe

Underground laboratory, within Experimental Zone No. 2, everyone felt a strong vibration, and many people couldn’t stand steadily, falling to the ground in all directions.

"What the hell is going on?" Xue Lang was confused, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

Lord Xiong furrowed his brow; he felt that such intense vibrations would inevitably impact Dark City.

At this moment, a smug voice echoed again from the broadcast: "Sorry, I just pressed some button accidentally, and it led to an irretrievable situation. It seems like the entire Dark City might have been destroyed, and just to make it clear, I didn’t do it on purpose, and I definitely can’t afford to compensate for it."

"You bastard!" Xue Wang was furious, knowing that if the Tower of Darkness also collapsed, then everyone would be trapped and unable to escape.

With a cold snort, Lord Xiong said, "You’ve trapped us underground, you can’t get out, and neither can Gu Fan, right?"

The mysterious masked person spoke nonchalantly once more: "Don’t worry, with so many people from Organization X, and with Qian Feng and Qian Ying’s help, we can definitely dig through here. It will just take some time, that’s all."

Hearing this, Lord Xiong and Xue Wang frowned, feeling as if the mysterious masked person knew what was going to happen next.

It was at this moment that Zhuo Hang stepped forward: "Don’t worry, we have enough time to find Gu Fan and destroy his perfect immortality."

"Very well, you’re indeed worthy of being Zhuo Hang, having strength gives you confidence." The mysterious masked person expressed his appreciation, and then urged Xue Wang, Lord Xiong, and the others to act quickly. The cat-and-mouse game had just begun.

Dissatisfaction, extreme dissatisfaction. The mighty Organization X had always been the one doing the oppressing, and it was never the other way around.

Xue Wang decided to go all out. He didn’t believe that he, Lord Xiong, and Zhuo Hang together couldn’t defeat the mysterious masked person.

With time running out, everyone split up to search. Zhuo Hang chose to operate alone, believing he could move faster by himself.

Suddenly, there were shouts from the other end of the corridor, alerting Xue Wang, Lord Xiong, and Zhuo Hang, and made them wonder if they had already encountered the mysterious masked person.

However, a horde of vampires ran back as if they had seen a ghost, and the person chasing them was the solemn Su Hui.

"It’s you, that’s great!" Xue Wang was pleased, knowing that capturing Su Hui would force Gu Fan to negotiate.

As soon as Su Hui saw Xue Wang and Lord Xiong, she stopped in her tracks. Knowing she was no match for them, she turned and fled immediately.

"Chase her!" Xue Wang had just given the order when Zhuo Hang intervened, earnestly requesting that the matter be left to him.

Xue Wang frowned, feeling like Zhuo Hang had the intention to protect Su Hui. He could not agree to this.

But Zhuo Hang didn’t care what Xue Wang thought; he pursued immediately. It was hard to control someone with great strength, which is why Xue Wang allowed Lord Xiong to stand on equal footing with him.

So, Zhuo Hang went after Su Hui. The others continued to move forward under the leadership of Xue Wang and Lord Xiong, continuing their search. It wasn’t long before they encountered vampires being beaten left and right by Lin Xi.

Xue Wang snorted coldly: "First Su Hui, now Lin Xi. It seems you’re trying to stall us, buying Gu Fan more time to achieve his perfect immortality."

Lin Xi didn’t answer, readying herself for battle. She hadn’t come here of her own volition, acting involuntarily; she couldn’t allow Organization X to disrupt the sacrifice ritual, or Gu Fan would be in danger.

Lord Xiong snapped his fingers, not wanting to waste words with Lin Xi, and signaled his subordinates to attack immediately.

Just as the fight was about to break out, Leng Le emerged with Li Shi, calling out: "Wait, let’s not fight amongst ourselves."

"What do you mean by ’ourselves’?" Xue Wang was incensed, thinking their stalling tactics were surely unnecessary.

Lin Xi was also surprised, asking, "Didn’t we tell you to leave? Why did you come back?"

Brandishing a key while panting heavily, Leng Le announced, "We found this key. It can disrupt the ritual while ensuring Gu Fan’s safety. There’s hope for Gu Fan."

"This..." Lin Xi took the key, examining it skeptically. It concerned Gu Fan’s safety; could it truly work?

Li Shi also explained how they found the key. Despite the coincidences, she believed it could indeed help Gu Fan.

At this point, Xue Wang couldn’t stand it any longer: "What are you talking about? Are you trying to buy more time with some trick?"

Seeing the hostility from Xue Wang and the others, and looking at the key in her hand, Lin Xi thought of the keyhole on the immortality device. She felt it was worth a try; what if it worked?

Just as Xue Wang was about to launch an attack, Lin Xi interjected: "Hold on, let’s not be hasty. We really don’t need to fight each other, as we have a common enemy."

"What kind of joke is that? How can we have a common enemy?" Xue Wang certainly didn’t believe Lin Xi, still thinking she was just stalling for time.

Lin Xi explained: "I know you, Xue Wang, won’t easily trust us, but the situation is urgent. We must join forces to defeat the mysterious masked person and rescue Gu Fan."

Hearing these words, Xue Wang sneered disdainfully: "What? Rescue Gu Fan? Does he need to be rescued? He’s about to achieve perfect immortality. He’s going to become the best among the living."

Lin Xi shook her head: "You might not believe it, but I don’t want Gu Fan to achieve perfect immortality. I always feel that this is all the mysterious masked person’s conspiracy. Once Gu Fan achieves perfect immortality, it will lead to irreversible and serious consequences."

Xue Wang and Lord Xiong’s frowns deepened. Lin Xi’s demeanor didn’t seem like an act.

Lin Xi proposed that she would lead the way directly to where Gu Fan was, saving a lot of time. The condition was that Organization X would keep the mysterious masked person busy, creating an opportunity for Lin Xi to halt the ritual.

Although Xue Wang thought the proposal was good, he wouldn’t easily trust it. What if this was Lin Xi’s ploy? Claiming to lead the way, but actually leading Organization X into a trap?

To alleviate Organization X’s concern, Li Shi even volunteered to be a hostage, her life or death in the hands of Organization X.

Adversity reveals true friendship. Having such friends was indeed rare; Lin Xi was grateful for Li Shi’s offer at this moment and was beginning to accept her just like she had accepted Su Hui.

At this juncture, worrying about this or that would be ungracious. Xue Wang and Lord Xiong had no objections, and Lord Xiong even sent someone to find Zhuo Hang and Su Hui. Since an alliance had been formed, there was no need for further conflict.

Thus, for the first time, they worked together in an unprecedented cooperation, side by side in battle, facing a stronger and more terrifying enemy.
