Chapter 761: Chapter 766_1

"According to my estimation, the next explosion should occur in about five minutes. Do you think we can escape from the lab within that time?"

Upon hearing Qi Yunjue say this, Yan Ling fell into utter despair.

In five minutes, they could not escape, let alone dig an escape tunnel!

Qi Yunjue took Yan Ling’s hand to his lips and gently kissed it.

"Don’t worry, I’ll get you out of here safely!"

Although Yan Ling was touched, she couldn’t watch him risk his life.

"No! Your body might be mostly healed, but the wound on your back still hasn’t fully healed. If you start digging an escape tunnel now, you’re likely to tear your wound open..."

After hearing this, Qi Yunjue responded with a wry smile, "Who told you I was going to use that foolish method of yours?"

Yan Ling was rather displeased to hear this.

"What did you say? I am foolish?"

Qi Yunjue, who still had a strong instinct for survival, quickly admitted, "No, you are not foolish, I am. We don’t have time to waste now. The time until the next explosion isn’t far off. We need to find a way out."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ling thought of the passage in the control room.

She came down through that passage.

She was very curious, why was it that in spite of all the explosions elsewhere, this passage remained unscathed?

She wondered what material the surroundings were made of to have such an effective blast-resistance effect.

Qi Yunjue pointed in one direction, "We’ll go this way. About fifty meters ahead, there is a mechanism. Once we open it, we can get out."

Yan Ling looked at him suspiciously, "A mechanism? What mechanism? The fourth basement level has never been exposed, how would you know?"

"Strictly speaking, the fourth basement level is the core area that Linxi values the most. Let’s find the exit first, we can discuss the rest later," he replied.

Although Qi Yunjue was injured, it didn’t affect his ability to move.

Compared to Yan Ling, he was obviously better at digging.

In less than a minute, they dug a ten-meter passage that they could barely crawl through.

Qi Yunjue had a larger body, so he let Yan Ling crawl through first.

This way, he could protect her from behind.

One after the other, they made it to the spot where the mechanism was located.

But other than a wall, there was nothing else there, making it impossible to tell where the mechanism was.

Qi Yunjue, without showing any signs of panic, focused his mental power on the wall.

Sure enough, a faint ripple appeared on the previously empty wall.

Then a red button was revealed.

Qi Yunjue reached out his hand and pressed the button, and a secret door immediately opened up in the wall.

"Go!"

They quickly dashed behind the secret door.

As soon as the door was closed, the sound of the explosion came through.

Yan Ling was in Qi Yunjue’s arms, waiting for the ground to regain stability.

"It’s over, we’re fine now." Seeing that the explosion had stopped, Qi Yunjue finally let go of Yan Ling.

"Now can you tell me how you knew about this place? And why was it unaffected by the explosion?"

Yan Ling was now incredibly curious.

Qi Yunjue held her hand and continued to walk up through the passage.

"After I was captured, Linxi took me to this fourth basement level. You know my memory is outstanding. I can remember anything after seeing it once."

"It seems we have to thank Linxi. If she hadn’t taken you on a tour of the lab, we might have really died here," Yan Ling exclaimed.

To this, Qi Yunjue didn’t respond, instead he continued, "Only Linxi had access to this fourth level, even Luo Qi didn’t have the authority."
