Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 374

The Voice Headset was a very useful team communication device.

In normal times, everyone could speak without interfering with each other. It was only when a finger was pressed to the headset that their voice would be transmitted to the whole team. The two teams had split up and there was no need to frequently communicate with each other unless there was an emergency.

After splitting up, Xiao Lou's group of six took the path on the left.

Tang Ci was in a wheelchair and had limited mobility. Liu Qiao wanted to help him push the wheelchair but before her hand could touch it, Tang Ci calmly refused. "It's fine. My wheelchair is electric and I can move by myself."

Lu Jiuchuan chuckled when he heard this and glanced at Liu Qiao. "Little girl, don't worry, this wheelchair was made by him and there are control buttons on the armrests. It can move in a straight line and turn. It is almost as good as an intelligent robot. Of course, there is no way if we encounter stairs or steps. The wheelchair can't go down them, so you can help at that time."

Liu Qiao retracted her hand and nodded. "I have a light footwork card here. If Mr Tang needs it then you can use it to move up the stairs."

Tang Ci looked at her, expression still indifferent but his eyes slightly softened. "I'm sorry about your sister's matter. The Intelligence Bureau can no longer find news of her and you should be clear about what that means. Don't think too much. First clear the World Weekly and the S-grade secret rooms."

Liu Qiao lowered her head and remained silent, hands clenched into fists by her side.

Lu Jiuchuan wondered, "Sister?"

Yu Hanjiang glanced at him. Lu Jiuchuan immediately understood and didn't ask again.

Just then, a set of stairs going down appeared ahead of them. It was impossible to see the end using the Night Pearl and it wasn't known where the stairs led. The deep black hole was like a beast with its mouth open, wanting to swallow everyone.

Old Mo wondered, "Stairs going downward? Is this a 3D labyrinth..."

A flat labyrinth was much simpler than a 3D one. In a 3D maze, they not only had to pay attention to the change in direction but also the intersection of space. It wasn't known how many floors this labyrinth had. There was only this path in front of them. Everyone exchanged looks before Yu Hanjiang declared decisively, "Go and see."

At the same time, Teacher Gui's voice was heard from their headsets. "There are stairs on our side leading deeper underground."

Xiao Lou replied, "It is the same for us. Senior, be careful."

They exchanged information and the 12 people headed slowly down their respective staircases.

The stairs were very narrow and each layer only fit half the size of an adult foot. It wasn't known where the water on the bricks came from but it was very slippery to step on. Of course, it was inconvenient for Tang Ci's wheelchair to move on such stairs. Liu Qiao wanted to hand over the Light as a Swallow card to Tang Ci but he refused again. "You have good intentions but you can keep it for your own self-defense. I have a way."

They saw him summon two mechanical ants around 20 centimeters long. They were too big compared to normal ants but their appearance was very lifelike. The ants' two antennas had two cameras that sent back the surrounding scenery they saw to Tang Ci. It was very convenient when exploring the way.

Under Tang Ci's command, the two mechanical ants quickly climbed down the stairs. Then an iron cable flew from the armrest of Tang Ci's wheelchair. The front end of the barbed wire was firmly stuck into the stone bricks of the wall. The wheelchair seemed to have found a track and followed the wire, sliding down the stairs faster than Liu Qiao's light footwork card could have.
