Chapter 1548 You Are Late
They paired up and started exploring the place, but not long after they came in and went along the cave, they realized that the path was becoming broader and broader, and everything was becoming clearer around them.
A frown appeared on Duncan’s face. He was still thinking about that question, but then he noticed a familiar scent lingering in the air, and he stopped walking for a moment.
Vivian was holding his hand, and when she realized he had stopped, she came to a halt as well. “What is it, Duncan? What happened?”
“It’s nothing. Wait right here for me. I’ll take a look over there.” He let her go and went to the spot where the scent was the heaviest.
She didn’t know what he was trying to do, but she didn’t dare move around in such an unfamiliar area, so she waited for Duncan to make his return. About five to six worrying minutes later, Duncan finally came back, much to her relief.
Vivian asked him, “What is it, Duncan? Did you find something over there?”
Duncan answered, “Yes. There’s dried sand over there. There might even be an exit too. Your brother probably left using that exit. We’d better get going right now.”
“All right then.” Vivian agreed with Duncan.
They trotted quickly along the cave, but this time, they didn’t even make five hundred meters. All of a sudden, a loud rumble was heard, and the ground started shaking violently.
Vivian was shocked by the sudden development. “What is happening, Duncan? Why is this place suddenly caving in?”
“I—” Before Duncan could even say anything, the ground they were stepping on suddenly cracked, and the two of them fell through it.
The moment Vivian fell through, a stab of pain traveled up her head from her right ankle, and everything turned black around her. Before she blacked out, her last thoughts were, This place is booby-trapped? Wait, that means Ian’s in trouble.
When she regained consciousness, she realized there was something wet around her lips, and she drank the sweet liquid even though she didn’t know what it was. Who is it? Is it Duncan?
She finally regained her consciousness, and she opened her eyes, but what she saw first was unending darkness. “Duncan? Is that you there? Where are we? Do you know what this place is?” she held the person who was feeding her and quickly barraged him with a lot of questions.
However, the person was keeping quiet. His hands were cold and hard, but Duncan’s were muscular. Hm? Who is this?
Vivian thought about it for a few seconds, then she suddenly grabbed the person’s finger and reflexively touched his hand. “Oh my god, Kurt! Why didn’t you show up earlier? I almost died, for god’s sake!”
She started crying like a baby, and she pounced on the person before her. She hugged him and cried in his embrace, as if she had found someone she could rely on even though that person was two years younger than she was.
