Chapter 366: Chapter 366: There’s Always a Way Out

Unconsciously, everyone had actually entered the interior of the clock tower. The hall was clean and spacious, making one feel as if they were in an infinite universe.

Gu Fan suggested: "This place is big, let’s split up to look around."

Du Changhui immediately objected: "Why should we separate? Gu Fan, do you have other plans?"

"Not at all. If you don’t want to split up, then we won’t." Gu Fan forced a bitter smile. It seemed that at this point, Du Changhui was very sensitive, so it was better not to provoke him.

Du Jun started to touch the walls, tapping here, checking there, until he found a staircase leading downstairs. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, come see this!"

Everyone rushed over, shining flashlights to illuminate the stairs. They had no idea where the staircase led, but they were interested to explore further.

"I’ll go first. The rest of you follow." Lin Xi, a natural leader and brave soul, was the first to descend the stairs. Gu Fan followed closely, and the rest of the group trailed after them. Everyone was praying fervently, hoping that there would be no traps in this place.

When they reached the bottom, Lin Xi was the first to see a large warehouse door. It was unlocked and slightly ajar.

Everyone thought about it. The members of the ancient Super Civilization had left long ago. So, why would they lock the doors?

Gathering courage, everyone pushed open the warehouse doors and entered one by one, shining their flashlights to reveal many shelves. Mysteriously, there was not much stuff stored on them, it appeared that the ancient Super Civilization took whatever they could when they left.

Curiosity piqued, Lu Yi picked up a barrel from a shelf. With a bit of effort, he managed to open it. To his surprise, it contained food, which still looked quite fresh.

Everyone was amazed by the preservation technology used by the ancient Super Civilization. Items from millions of years ago were still edible, alleviating their most pressing needs - food and water.

They took down some more items from the shelves and found that there was a significant amount of food and drink. This supply would easily sustain them for months, solving their biggest problem.

"Long live us! We have found food and water! Long live us!" Du Changhui was the most excited. This made him feel that their chances of finding eternal life were increasing.

Gu Fan watched in silence. He felt that, in his current state of fervor, if Du Changhui gained eternal life, he might turn into a demon similar to Big Boss.

Lin Xi wasn’t paying attention to all of this. Instead, she said, "Let’s look around and see if we can find anything else useful besides food and water."

At that moment, Lu Yi was ecstatic, holding up a shield, "Everyone, look what I’ve found! It’s a shield left behind by the ancient Super Civilization. It feels really sturdy just by tapping it."

"Nice, we’ve found a new weapon." Gu Fan was also happy for Lu Yi. Lu Yi had lost his beloved shield during the previously faced avalanche. Gu Fan had been planning on how to make it up to him but things had worked out on their own.

After glancing at it, Lin Xi said, "Lu Yi, can you please hold up the shield?"

"Ok!" Lu Yi did as he was told, raising it in front of him, oblivious to what Lin Xi planned.

Gu Fan sensed something amiss and quickly ducked aside. Lin Xi slowly raised her hand and pointed a finger. A surge of Qi suddenly burst forth, heading straight towards Lu Yi.

"No way!" Lu Yi was stunned. He only felt a powerful force hitting his shield, sending him flying backward.

Seeing how hard Lu Yi fell, still clutching the shield, Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction, "Good, the shield is really sturdy. Lu Yi, you should cherish it."

"Thanks for testing the quality of my shield, my queen, even though my butt hurts from the fall." Lu Yi rubbed his buttocks, wincing in pain. But seeing that there was no scratch on the shield, he felt immensely satisfied.

Jealous, Gu Fan started rummaging through everything around him, hoping to find something useful just like Lu Yi.

In the meantime, Leng Le quietly watched Gu Fan and Lin Xi busy themselves. She decided to seize the opportunity to check her mobile phone for updates on Big Boss’s whereabouts. She found out that their signal was blocked. She had no idea about Big Boss’s whereabouts, and most likely, he had no idea about hers either.

With sufficient supplies of food and water, not only were Gu Fan and his companions’ survival assured, but also Hai and his team’s. Leng Le thought about how she could share this news with Big Boss and Hai.

At that moment, Gu Fan walked over and curiously asked, "What’s up? You’re checking your phone."

Trying to stay calm, Leng Le responded, "Since there doesn’t seem to be anything here that requires my help, I’m checking my phone. I want to know the time and also thinking about recording our journey on my phone. Just in case something happens, we can provide the information to those who come after us."

"That’s a good idea, but how is your phone still charged?" Gu Fan asked, causing Leng Le to panic. It was true, everyone else’s phones had already died, why was hers still charged?

Others were curious, too. Because of the avalanche, most of their possessions were lost. They had neither backup power sources nor spare batteries. Everyone else’s phones had long since run out of charge.

After a moment’s thought, Leng Le offered an explanation, "Last time, I found a charger at the camp of Big Boss’s group. I kept it with me just in case. If we can’t hold on, I thought that I could call for help."

"Oh, I see." Gu Fan accepted her explanation, played around with her phone, and gave it back to her, appearing unperturbed.

Leng Le breathed a sigh of relief, hoping Gu Fan didn’t suspect anything.

Enough talk. Since there was so much food and water, everyone could finally satiate their hunger. They had lived on rations for a while now and were absolutely famished. Furthermore, they needed to replenish their energy.

Naturally, Gu Fan started eating too. But his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Su Hui. He wondered about her situation. While they sat here, lavishly eating and drinking, maybe Su Hui was starving, even fainting from hunger.

"Don’t forget our previous agreement. As soon as we find food and water, we’ll light the flares." Gu Fan took a few bites and immediately wanted to leave.

Gu Fan’s actions caught the eyes of both Lin Xi and Leng Le. Both ladies, in meaningful tones, said simultaneously, "You’re really worried about Sister Su, aren’t you? You have her on your mind all the time. You seem like you can’t wait any longer."

Hearing these words, a panic surged in Gu Fan’s heart. He had a terrible premonition. Why were his ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend both having the same reaction?
