Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Unable to Get Out

Translator: 549690339

All eyes were fixated unblinkingly on the door in front of them, their hearts pounding with nerves, unsure of what would happen next.

They couldn’t afford any missteps or carelessness concerning this matter.

But who could have foreseen that when the door finally opened, nothing significant occurred. This unexpected turn of events left them all somewhat dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was going on.

They glanced at one another, equally puzzled.

The current situation was beyond their expectations.

Furthermore, it was pitch black outside the door, making it impossible to discern what kind of world lay beyond.

This left them at a complete loss as to what to do.

Having hesitated for a moment, Suri Drew quickly closed the door again.

It seemed that the situation was not what they had imagined at all.

Initially, they had thought that there would be a corridor outside the door and possibly some villains lurking. But now it appeared they had not managed to leave from here successfully.

As a result, they couldn’t stay put and promptly approached Suri.

However, at this moment, they were at a loss for words since the situation had completely defied their expectations. They couldn’t understand how things had turned out this way.

For a time, no one spoke. They exchanged wordless glances, but all were deeply silent.

After a long while, Suri finally broke the heavy silence in the room.

She could only shake her head helplessly and say,

“I never would have thought this would be the outcome.”

Upon hearing her words, the others around her immediately nodded in agreement.

They shared the same sentiment.

Yigol Novak couldn’t help but step closer to Suri and take her hand, speaking softly,

“It’s alright. This could be considered a good outcome.”

If it had really been a corridor with armed attackers waiting outside, they wouldn’t have stood a chance.

So, this outcome wasn’t necessarily a bad one in their eyes.

But truth be told, even though they were frightened by the prospect of a direct confrontation with the attackers, they couldn’t help but harbor some hope that they would find a way out.

Even at the cost of some sacrifices, they truly didn’t want to remain trapped any longer.

Price and Luke wanted to say something, but no words came out. In the end, all they could do was sigh heavily.

They were utterly helpless in this situation.

While they thought they could solve it one way or another, it turned out to be far more complicated than they had anticipated.

Resolving this issue was not as simple as they thought.

“So, what should we do next? Can we continue moving forward after opening the door?”

Luke asked this question with furrowed brows, unable to think of any alternative plans.

Upon hearing Luke’s inquiry, Price immediately responded.

“Of course, we can only carry on. We can’t possibly go back.”

After careful consideration, it seemed that this was indeed the logical course of action.

At that moment, their expressions worsened.

They were unsure of what to do next.

Price couldn’t help but laugh bitterly and say,

“Actually, I find this quite unfortunate too. After all, we’ve been searching for so long, yet we haven’t found anything.”

Observing Price’s revealing statement, Luke ceased pretending and nodded. Once again, he spoke up,

“Yes, even though I know it would be extremely difficult to directly confront those attackers, I still cling to a sliver of hope that we can escape this place.”

Seeing him express his true feelings, Price nodded in surprise and responded,

“I feel the same way. Even though it’s highly unlikely that we could defeat them in combat, I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

Following his revelation, Price sighed heavily once more.

“Who could have imagined that this would be the outcome?”

Everyone shared the same view on this matter. No matter how difficult they knew it would be, they truly didn’t want to stay in this place any longer. They had seen firsthand just how terrifying it was.

The anxiety they felt about the situation lingered in their hearts. Once negative emotions took hold, it became increasingly difficult for them to calm down and think things through, potentially leading them further astray.

How could this not be considered disastrous for them?

So, if an opportunity presented itself, however slim the chance, they would undoubtedly seize it firmly.

But their hopes had now been dashed. The scene they had desired to see did not materialize.

Suri Drew and Yigol Novak could easily tell just how devastated Price and Luke were.

So, they moved forward and gently patted both their shoulders, offering words of comfort.

“Don’t worry, we’ve already tried so hard for so long. There will be a result. Furthermore, you shouldn’t feel too upset about this matter.”

“Yes, we still have a long way to go. If we lose our confidence now, how will we face the challenges ahead?”

Together, they offered words of consolation, hoping it would provide some solace to their friends.

Upon hearing these words, they found renewed encouragement. Despite the dire circumstances, they knew what they needed to do.

They had already come so far and solved many problems. They couldn’t afford to give up easily at this point.

Even though they knew the road ahead would be hard, they were determined to forge ahead.
