"What kind of person is this important figure you speak of? How does he possess such advanced technology?"
Zhou Niannian posed a soul-searching question that also made Jiang Fan ponder.
"Honestly, I don't understand this world very well either. So, let's get out of here quickly. These matters will resolve themselves once they are dealt with, and we don't need to worry about them."
Zhou Niannian remained very curious about this important figure. Why could he create such a powerful core? If this thing was so important, couldn't he just create another one?
As Jiang Fan and his companions were fleeing, they suddenly encountered a large troop.
Seeing the billowing smoke, Jiang Fan immediately pulled his companions to hide to the side, while Yao swiftly drew his weapon, ready for battle.
"Yao, forget it. We can't beat them. There are so many of them. If we really go, won't we be beaten to death immediately?"
Jiang Fan was worried that Yao would impulsively charge out, and immediately stopped him. Yao looked at Jiang Fan speechlessly.
"I know I'm not stupid enough for that. If we really went out, one spit from each of them could drown us."
"Looking at them, they should be the King's people. The King is probably leading them to attack the laboratory."
After Yao finished speaking, Jiang Fan nodded faintly. Meanwhile, Zhou Niannian had already disappeared. When Jiang Fan looked back and found Zhou Niannian gone, he immediately looked around.
At that moment, Zhou Niannian had already followed the tail of the troop.
"What is Zhou Niannian doing? Is she trying to die? We can't even escape in time, and she's still playing around with these things."
Jiang Fan was extremely angry. Seeing Zhou Niannian missing, he immediately rushed forward and pulled her back.
"What are you doing? Do you really think this is a safe place?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian looked at Jiang Fan awkwardly.
"No, I just wanted to help that important figure. I think he's so pitiful, being controlled for so many years, and his technology was stolen. If we use this flashlight, we might be able to help them a bit."
"There are so many people anyway, they won't notice us if we just blend in."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan was very helpless. He had no desire to get involved. If it meant trading his life, Jiang Fan was certainly unwilling, especially since he had so many companions under him.
"No, absolutely not. We can't stay here any longer. We must take this core and escape quickly."
"If we continue to stay here, any one of us could be killed. Aren't you afraid of that?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian seemed a little upset. She lowered her head and shook it.
"It's not that I don't care about our safety, I just want to help them. Why are you so fierce?"
This statement left Jiang Fan speechless. For a moment, he looked at Yao, who also turned his head away, not knowing what to say.
Hoping to find some comfort from Yao, she realized that Yao was also ignoring her.
"What's wrong with you guys? Are you really going to risk yourselves to help that so-called important figure? Why should we care about him? As long as we take this thing and successfully escape, that's enough. The people of Atlantis are waiting for us. Once we hand this over to them, we can safely leave Atlantis and return to the Gold Coast."
After Jiang Fan said this, Yao and Dai Xiaomei immediately looked up at him.
"Actually, I don't think the Gold Coast is much safer than here. Although it looks safer, it's actually quite dangerous."
Hearing Dai Xiaomei's words, Jiang Fan felt extremely awkward. It seemed that, as Dai Xiaomei said, the current checkpoints outside, while appearing safe, were actually full of hidden dangers, much like Atlantis itself.
If Atlantis didn't have a need, how could they have been allowed to live until now?
"Then let's be clear. We are only going to find out the identity of this important figure. We absolutely cannot act rashly."
"Moreover, we will let them use this flashlight, and then we will immediately take this thing and leave. Once the important figure gains the advantage, we can no longer stay here."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian jumped up excitedly and hugged Jiang Fan, causing his cheeks to flush. He didn't know what to say.
"Okay, let's do it this way. Let's quickly catch up with their main troop, otherwise, we'll miss our chance."
Jiang Fan grabbed Zhou Niannian, who was about to run out, and then pulled her towards the countryside on the other side.
"You're really not afraid of death. What if they discover us from behind?"
"I'm telling you, if it weren't for saving Bala this time, I would never have intervened."
Honestly, if it were just about finding out the identity of this so-called important figure, Jiang Fan would never have gone. But now, Bala had helped them multiple times, and now he was in danger, so Jiang Fan wanted to lend a hand.
If Bala could get out, he could be considered Jiang Fan's companion, as he had pulled them out of desperate situations many times.
Jiang Fan simply felt that he owed Bala something; otherwise, he would absolutely not have listened to Zhou Niannian and gone to such a dangerous place.
"Don't worry, we know what you mean. We absolutely won't mess around. We'll be very safe. Besides, you know me, how could I mess around?"
Hearing Zhou Niannian's words, Jiang Fan suddenly felt a little worried, because Zhou Niannian was the least reliable. If they really encountered danger, it would be disastrous.
Hearing Zhou Niannian speak with such full confidence, the others felt no sense of security; instead, they felt increasingly endangered.
