Bala, hearing Jiang Fan’s words, felt extremely awkward. He then smiled and said to Jiang Fan.
“It’s unavoidable, but you don’t need to worry. I only knocked him out. I wouldn’t lay a hand on my own people. Although they are from this world and pose no malice, I still wouldn’t harm them.”
After saying this, Jiang Fan slowly nodded.
“That’s good. I thought you were someone who would harm his own people. That would be terrible.”
Bala felt quite awkward, but he immediately followed Dai Xiaomei’s lead and found an opening.
“It seems to have worked.”
After Bala placed the wooden block, the large door slowly moved.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Fan and his companions immediately retreated, quickly pulling the sleeping Zhou Niannian from the ground to the side.
“What’s going on? Is someone chasing us? What should we do? Where should I run?”
Zhou Niannian’s flustered expression genuinely amused the viewers in the livestream.
“I’m dying of laughter. Everyone else is seriously solving the puzzle, and she’s sleeping soundly. Judging by her current state, she doesn’t seem fully awake yet. This is truly something.”
“You’re telling me. It has to be Zhou Niannian. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to handle this. She’s too much.”
“This Zhou Niannian is a classic. She’s created so many unbelievable things this time. I’ll probably never forget this in my life.”
Startled by the sound, Zhou Niannian jumped, but thankfully, she noticed the door was about to open, which somewhat calmed her nerves.
“Stop sleeping. The door is about to open. You should stay awake and by the side.”
After saying this, Zhou Niannian looked at Jiang Fan with an embarrassed smile.
“I figured I wasn’t useful, so I decided to take a nap. That way, I’ll have more energy to escape later and won’t drag you down.”
To Zhou Niannian’s flimsy excuse, Jiang Fan offered no objection or retort.
“Wow, you’re really not taking this crisis seriously at all.”
“Alright, hurry up. We need to enter this door immediately.”
As the door opened, Jiang Fan pulled Zhou Niannian inside. Zhou Niannian obediently followed behind Jiang Fan. Dai Xiaomei hid behind Yao and walked forward with Gun Gun.
Bala, however, wasn’t as afraid. Seeing the door open, he slowly walked in. After entering, he pressed a button, and the door closed.
“Let’s close the door first. If we’re discovered, none of us will survive. They’ve likely found out about you by now and will send people to search soon.”
“However, no matter what, they won’t find us here because they know this place is too mysterious. Their strength won’t allow them to enter.”
If it weren’t for Dai Xiaomei’s ability to decipher the puzzle, none of us would have been able to get in. Now that we’re here, we must seize this opportunity.
Looking at the mechanisms on the ground, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but lean closer to examine them for clues. However, after looking around, he found nothing out of the ordinary.
“What’s going on? Could it be that this place is just this simple? There should at least be something mysterious here. If everything is this straightforward, I find it rather unusual.”
Yao was taken aback by the scene. He had expected the mechanisms here to be highly futuristic, but instead, they were just simple wires and some connectors.
This didn’t look like advanced technology at all. If it possessed supreme power, Yao absolutely wouldn’t believe it.
“I’ve only been here once, but my memory of this place is completely different. I remember it being vast.”
The last time Bala was here, he knew this was a place full of technology. But seeing it again now, it was completely different.
This messy state now looked like a ruin, nothing like the technological zone he had seen before.
Hearing this, Jiang Fan was incredulous.
“What happened here? Did someone else come in and destroy everything before we arrived?”
Bala shook his head slightly at these words.
“Impossible. Although our King can enter this place, he rarely comes to this laboratory because it is very dangerous even for him. He wouldn’t easily come here.”
“The only possibility is that something has been living here all along, otherwise the structure of this place would not have changed.”
Just then, Dai Xiaomei walked over and spotted something. It seemed to be a creature, which made Dai Xiaomei feel a bit apprehensive.
“Jiang Fan, come quickly and see what this is. It looks a bit strange.”
Hearing this, Jiang Fan and Yao rushed over. Looking at the small creature before them, which seemed to have not eaten for a long time, Jiang Fan took out some food and threw it in front of it.
As expected, the creature immediately began to gobble it down. However, it did not show any friendly demeanor towards Jiang Fan and his companions.
It bared its teeth at Jiang Fan while ravenously eating the scraps of meat on the ground.
Jiang Fan slowly approached, thinking he could get closer, but to his surprise, it suddenly raised its head and lunged at him.
This terrified Zhou Niannian, who quickly pulled Jiang Fan back.
“Don’t go near it. This is a beast! What if it bites you? I don’t know if it’s poisonous.”
“Let me do it.”
After saying this, Jiang Fan was completely bewildered. Would Zhou Niannian be safer than himself?
Before Jiang Fan could figure it out, Zhou Niannian walked towards it.
