Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 658 - 446 This Voice Couldn’t Be... (4200-Word Chapter)_2
Outside the entrance, it was still that soft ground.
Xu Xin’s eyelid twitched, he thought of something, and quickly ran to the doorway to look outside.
There was nothing.
It was still that vast open space.
No other creatures have fallen during this period, so it’s been very quiet.
"Ying?" Keke also ran over, tilted her small head, twitched her ears, and looked at the soft ground.
"Keke, did you feel something just now?"
"Ying." Keke nodded her small head.
"Alive?"
"Ying!"
So it was.
Apart from the five of them, there are others, or animals here.
However...
Why is there no sound?
With his current enhanced hearing, if something alive appeared, he shouldn’t be unable to hear it, right?
Strange...
Who could it be?
Ji Chaoyang who hasn’t appeared all this time?
Impossible.
How could Ji Chaoyang possibly hide from them?
Then what could it be?
"Is it a human? Those furry people?"
"Ying?" Keke tilted her small head, indicating she wasn’t sure.
It seems Keke didn’t see it, just sensed it.
It is unclear if this mysterious figure is friend or foe.
"What’s up?" The others also gathered around.
"...Be a bit more careful, there might be something else capable of moving freely here besides us." Xu Xin glanced outside.
"Huh? New creatures fell down, or did creatures from the cages escape?" Wang Lei also looked outside, "Where are there other creatures?"
"If there really is... what could it be? A prison warden not dead yet?" Wen Guixin speculated.
It’s a possibility.
After all, they only saw many corpses of the furry people, but couldn’t guarantee that those were all the wardens.
Moreover, even if all of them are dead, it can’t be guaranteed that no new wardens have come to this underground prison.
"In any case, it’s better to be cautious." Xu Xin glanced outside again, then turned to Lou Fei’Er, "You keep an eye on the door, if it’s really a warden, I fear it will lock us in here."
If the mechanism door and the doors of Cells 1 and 2 didn’t close by themselves just now, then it’s likely related to the entity Keke sensed.
It might really be familiar with this prison.
Is it really a warden?
"Okay."
Lou Fei’Er immediately leaned on the frame of the open mechanism door, observing both inside and outside the door.
Inside the room, all twenty doors had been opened at this point.
They began to search separately.
Xu Xin entered Room No. 3.
Outside the bars was the very end of the entire underground prison.
In the gigantic beasts’ prison just tens of meters from him, the two-headed lion seemed a bit restless.
Its claws made sizzling and creaking sounds with the metal walls and fences, and its two heads emitted distinctly different low roars.
Perhaps, it was affected by Lou Fei’Er being nearby.
He searched Room No. 3 himself but found nothing.
"Keke... you little one, why are you so sleepy." Xu Xin helplessly rubbed its fluffy ears, "Can’t you find anything around either?"
"Ying..." Keke’s small head swayed slightly, then continued to sleep.
Xu Xin and the others continued searching the twenty cells.
The result, no discoveries.
The twenty cells, aside from the basic facilities, contained nothing else.
Wang Lei moved the heavy metal beds but still found nothing.
"Looks like I was mistaken." Xu Xin shook his head.
Indeed.
Even if by following the normal procedure, they’d all be locked in the cells, it doesn’t mean the secret lies within the cells.
After all, under normal circumstances, the prison wardens should be alive, they are the biggest variable.
"Who?!"
At this moment, Lou Fei’Er suddenly let out a vigilant cry at the mechanism entrance.
"Come out! Stop hiding!"
The few exchanged glances and rushed to the doorway at once.
"What happened?" Xu Xin directly asked, "Did you see something?"
Lou Fei’Er, gripping a knife with both hands, was in an alert posture ready to attack.
Seeing everyone gather around, her expression relaxed slightly but she did not put away the knife, still warily peering outside the door: "I just, heard a voice speaking!"
A voice?
Xu Xin slightly frowned, "Someone spoke to you?"
"Yes! A strange man’s voice."
With that, she switched to a man’s voice, roughening her voice: "Return to the mechanism control room, there’s something you want there."
"That’s what he said to me!" Lou Fei’Er said gravely, tightly gripping the knife.
"Huh?" The others all looked puzzled, exchanging glances.
Why did someone suddenly speak to her, and the content was... strange...
A hint?
Mechanism control room?
The others on the scene all knew what this mechanism control room was.
It should be the mechanical room above.
"He really said that! Trust me, I’m not lying!"
Seeing Xu Xin frowning, seemingly disbelieving, Lou Fei’Er got a bit anxious and grabbed his arm: "I really heard it!"
"I know."
Xu Xin didn’t think Lou Fei’Er would lie to him.
However, why could she hear a voice that he couldn’t?
