Chixia couldn’t help but think that the intelligence and umbilical cord of the time-space administration bureau’s staff had been simultaneously severed.
Otherwise, how could they have sent he...
She had indeed underestimated Horn's audacity. She never imagined that they would dare to carry out a kidnapping so brazenly right in the Sirius Base.
Her ability is only level 9 right now, so dealing with a level 8 opponent shouldn't be a problem. But besides Horn, there are three level 7 opponents here, and her ability hasn't fully recovered from today's damage. A head-on confrontation is obviously not a good idea.
Moreover, if she were to go out now and try to prove that these people had kidnapped her, she would have no evidence left.
As for Xiao Tong's survival skills, they were not even within her consideration, because they were not worthy of her attention.
Chi Xia thought for a moment and then said to Huo En, "Since Captain Huo has already put it this way, it seems I have no choice but to cooperate."
Upon hearing this, Horn smiled and said, "Captain Chi is indeed reasonable. Then we'll have to trouble Captain Chi."
After saying that, he stood up, moved the table in the middle, then reached out and felt around on the ground, grabbed a stone slab, and moved it aside to reveal a ladder: "Captain Chi, please."
Chi Xia glanced down; it was pitch black below. "Captain Huo is very thoughtful."
After saying this, she lifted her foot without hesitation and climbed down the ladder.
As soon as Chi Xia landed, the ladder was pulled up, and Horn stood on it, saying to Chi Xia, "I'll trouble Captain Chi to stay here for a while. Once this is done, I will definitely keep my promise to you."
Chi Xia looked up at him, gave a cold laugh, and did not answer.
Horn clearly didn't expect her to answer. He walked away, and soon the panel above his head was covered again, blocking out the only source of light.
Chi Xia stood in the cellar, where it was pitch black, but the air wasn't too stuffy, indicating that there was ventilation.
She stretched out her hand, lit a fireball in her palm, and carefully examined the cellar.
The cellar was about twenty square meters, empty and dry, without any musty smell. Chi Xia held the fireball and carefully watched the dancing flames. She quickly determined that a gentle breeze was seeping in from the north.
She went to the north wall and looked it over carefully. Sure enough, she saw a ventilation window about an arm's length above her head.
The window was supported by stainless steel rods, so tightly packed that there were almost no gaps, clearly to prevent rats and other animals from accidentally entering.
This window can still ventilate, which means the connection point must be above ground level to prevent it from getting wet and blocked by snow or rain. Otherwise, the vent might end up inside the house.
The temperature in the cellar was slightly higher than that upstairs, but only slightly; it was still quite cold.
Chi Xia was cold and hungry. She regretted not bringing the food with her. She should have filled her stomach first, no matter what.
As for Han Junche, Chi Xia believed that even if Huo En threatened him with her, it would only make Han Junche determined to eliminate them. In a way, Han Junche and Chi Xia were actually the same kind of people. Once they had analyzed the pros and cons and made up their minds, they were basically unmoved by either soft or hard tactics.
Chi Xia activated his supernatural ability, reaching out to touch the wall where the ventilation vent was located. Instantly, flames blazed, and the wall, under the intense heat, gradually turned into chunks, which then fell off piece by piece.
As if sensing something, the stone bricks above their heads were suddenly lifted off.
Chi Xia immediately withdrew her supernatural power and said, "What, can't I even make a fire by myself?"
A head popped out from above, looked around, but saw only darkness, and then covered the stone slab again.
