Chapter 533 Finding a Way to Escape
When the tremor reached Han Shuo's feet, he shouted anxiously.
"Quick, keep running, run deeper into the area!"
The sound had barely faded when a huge rock fell from behind, kicking up a cloud of dust that obscured everyone's vision.
Unable to see the road ahead, they could only hold onto the violently shaking stone wall beside them, bumping around aimlessly in the tunnel like headless flies.
"Over here, over here!"
The silver-haired man at the front of the group continuously guided Han Shuo and the others with the faint light of his electric baton and his voice.
During this time, the three of them kept bumping into the stone walls on both sides, and all of them had bruises and wounds to varying degrees.
...
"Boom, boom..."
Boulders kept crashing down into the passage, and in a short moment, all the zombies that had flooded into the passage were crushed to death by the boulders.
The rear passage collapsed rapidly, but Han Shuo and his four companions continued to flee frantically into the depths.
Finally, after half a minute, the tremors gradually subsided, and the sound of falling rocks became quieter and quieter.
The five people ran forward for another minute, and only stopped slowly after they could no longer hear any strange noises.
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh..."
The fat man slumped to the ground, panting heavily, a feeling of relief rising from the depths of his heart.
"We survived, we survived again."
That's right. This time, Xiao Zhao really took a huge risk by forcibly using a time bomb to help everyone escape danger.
Fortunately, the pyramid's internal structure was extremely sturdy, and the time bomb did not cause it to collapse completely.
...
Meanwhile, night was gradually falling outside.
The tattooed man slowly stood up from the recliner, his brows slightly furrowed as he gazed in the direction of the pyramids.
He had naturally witnessed the explosion and the shockwave.
For him, killing these five people was not difficult, but leaving them alive was not an easy task.
In particular, Han Shuo and his four companions have been resisting all along, and are not lambs to be slaughtered.
...
"Phew~"
The tattooed man exhaled, a flicker of anger passing through his heart.
He hadn't expected these people to be so persistent, refusing to give up even when they were trapped inside the pyramid and facing certain death.
At that moment, his subordinate's voice rang out again through the communicator in his ear.
"Boss, something bad has happened! They've completely destroyed the passage. What do we do now? Should we keep dragging the stones out? This... it might take several days."
The tattooed man remained silent, deep in thought.
Finally, he calmed himself down and gave the order.
"Drag! Keep dragging the stones and dig open the passage that's blocking the entrance completely!"
"This time, they must leave some alive!"
"Yes, boss!"
And so, the corpse-covered men outside began controlling the zombies to work through the night.
This time, it won't be so easy for them to open up another passage.
...
Before we knew it, it was midnight.
Han Shuo and the other four had already returned to the platform below.
They did not leave anyone to guard the rubble, because they knew for certain that the passage had collapsed for dozens of meters.
In this situation, even if the scavengers outside kept digging through the rubble with tools, trying to get back into the pyramid, it would not be something that could be accomplished overnight.
...
"Brother Han, how are you all? Are your injuries serious?"
Under the light of the stun gun, the silver-haired man hurriedly pulled out a medical kit.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."
Han Shuo gave a simple reply, letting the silver-haired man bandage the wound on his arm.
Fatty and Xiao Zhao were more seriously injured.
Almost their entire bodies were scratched and bruised by the protruding stones on the wall.
The only good news is that all three had only superficial injuries and no fractures. They only need simple bandaging and a couple of days of rest to recover.
...
"Sigh, now we're really trapped here to die."
The fat man muttered listlessly, and his body involuntarily shivered.
"Phew, the temperature difference between day and night in this desert is really big. It's actually getting a bit cold now."
Although the inside of this pyramid is relatively sealed, it should have many ventilation openings.
No one felt a lack of oxygen here, but as night fell and the area became damp, they felt a chill.
...
"Quickly, Ninth Sister, find something that can be burned to warm the three Han brothers."
Seeing the three people in front of him trembling, the silver-haired man quickly turned around and gave an order.
"Understood, Second Brother."
The blond man nodded, picked up the stun gun, and began searching the vicinity.
Soon, a fire was lit.
The platform was suddenly illuminated, and Han Shuo and the other two had no time to look around, so they all gathered in front of the fire.
Han Shuo felt the warmth emanating from the flames, and his body warmed up a bit.
After a while, the three of them ate some food to replenish their energy and felt much better.
...
Next, Xiao Zhao asked.
"Brother Han, Brother Silver Hair, what should we do next? We can't just give up."
"Of course not!"
The silver-haired man replied earnestly, glancing at the hilt of his laser sword at his waist before continuing after a moment's thought.
"Although the entrance passage is completely blocked, my laser sword can cut through these stone walls as easily as tofu."
"It's not difficult for us to escape from the pyramid, but the real challenge is how to deal with the horde of zombies outside."
After hearing this, the fat man's eyes lit up, and he quickly offered his own idea.
"How about we try digging a tunnel? With a lightsaber in hand, digging our way out from underground isn't a dream."
"no!"
Han Shuo quickly refused, as he had already considered this escape method.
"Leaving aside whether Silver-haired Brother's lightsaber has enough energy, this pyramid can be dug, but you have to understand, it's all desert outside."
"If we keep digging, this loose sand has no support and will bury us underground in an instant."
After the words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
Indeed, digging tunnels in the desert is practically tantamount to suicide.
...
"Huh? Then there's absolutely no way out? We can't escape, and we can't kill them all..."
The hope in the fat man's eyes gradually disappeared; he couldn't think of any way to escape.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
"How about we explore the entire pyramid first?"
“I just saw a passage leading to the top of the tower. If we can open a gap at the top, we might be able to use a hang glider to fly out under the cover of night.”
Um?
After listening to Xiao Zhao's advice, the four people seemed to see a glimmer of hope again.
Yes, under the cover of night, they might actually escape the sniper's notice.
"Let's go! Let's give it a try!"
The five people acted immediately, picking up their weapons and exploring the passage that extended upwards.
