Chapter 24: Escaping Death (4)

  Ou Ni trembled, grasping the hospital bed tightly with all her might, putting her entire body weight on her hands. She hadn't expected that his light kiss would bring such a huge impact. Along with this impact, many kinds of feelings surged towards him like a tide, submerging her completely.

  "Let him go, can't let him suffer the same fate as those brainwashed people, let him leave this place safely, must." This thought suddenly appeared in Ouni's heart, strong enough to make her ignore what punishment his departure would bring to her.

  Taking a deep breath, Ouni opened her hands, straightened up, and gently pressed the bed with her hand, undoing all the restraints that bound Zhang Fan's body. Zhang Fan was secretly delighted, turned over and got out of bed, turned around to hug Ouni, but was dodged by Ouni with a turn of her body.

  "Go ahead! Walk straight along the corridor in front of you until you see the sign that says 'Operating Room 1', and stop at the door. Right outside the door of Operating Room 1, under the floor, there is a natural cave. As long as you lift up the floor, you can see it. After entering the cave, head towards the lower terrain, and in about an hour, you can leave this basic control range." Ouni turned around, with her back to Zhang Fan, and spoke out the way of escape.

  "Ouni, come with me! I can't leave you in such a terrible place." Zhang Fan pulled Ouni into his arms, embracing her tightly. The feeling of being reunited after the ordeal was exhilarating for him. Moreover, Ouni had taken great risks to let him go, and it was truly moving to see a woman treat him with such kindness.

  “Don’t...” Ouni gently pushed Zhang Fan’s body away. “I won't leave, nor is there a need to leave. I let you go, not because I remember everything between us. Nor do I know why the thought of letting you go suddenly occurred to me. You'd best leave early. If the people here discover that you're not in the dungeon, I think you'll be back soon, and I don't want my efforts to be wasted, so it's better if you leave as soon as possible.”

  "Ou Ni..." Zhang Fan still didn't give up and tried to persuade Ou Ni to leave with him.

  "Don't force me to change my mind, you can still leave now, and don't try to say anything more, I don't want to leave this place. And after you leave, don't come back here again. This place is not something that can be solved by your simple spiritual power control alone. Take care of yourself!" Ouni took a step back, but reached out with her hand in front of her body and said to Zhang Fan.

  Zhang Fan looked at Ouni and asked helplessly, "Ouni, why? Come with me! We'll go to Paris to find Professor Yilans, he can help you solve the problem on your body."

  Ouni heard his words and put her hand on the alarm button on the wall. "Are you leaving or not?"

  "Alright, I'll leave. Take care of yourself." Zhang Fan saw that O'Neill's heart was already gone and there was nothing more to say, so he reluctantly turned around and walked away in the direction she had pointed. O'Neill's shadow remained motionless on the ground under the wall lamp. Zhang Fan walked a long distance before turning back, and he could still see O'Neill's slender figure standing far away in the corridor.

  "Ouni, I'll come back to save you." Zhang Fan secretly made up his mind to investigate the matter thoroughly and rescue Ouni from this den of evil. Although Ouni had helped Zhang Fan regain his human form, with his abilities, he could have caused a huge commotion here. However, based on what Zhang Fan had seen so far, these things were definitely not created by ordinary people, otherwise, the scale of this base wouldn't be so large, and its international influence wouldn't be so severe. The most important thing now was to escape and send a message to Li Lan, telling him about the various clues he had discovered, and asking for his support. Not getting involved in politics was Zhang Fan's principle, but under certain political premises, it was better for Li Lan to take the lead in some matters.

  The corridor was very quiet, with only Zhang Fan's figure, and only the sound of his own footsteps could be heard. Perhaps it was because those people were already inside the base, and they were very confident in the security system. So at the checkpoints and passageways, no guards were seen. Although Zhang Fan was being cautious, he still arrived safely at the door of Operating Room No. 1 that Ouni had mentioned.

  It seems that the base is built underground, as their buildings basically have no windows, only ventilation openings facing upwards. As for the places Zhang Fan has been to, they are all flat layouts, and it's unknown whether there are more buildings in the underground where they are located.

  The floor in front of Operating Room No. 1 was very smooth, and from the outside, it looked no different from other places Zhang Fan had been to. Finding the entrance to the cave that Ouni mentioned in such a place would be quite a task.

  Zhang Fan bent down, pressed against the floor in front of the door of operating room No. 1, knocking on the ground with his hand, and sticking his ear to the ground to listen to the echo coming from the ground.

  "Bang, bang, bang......bang, bang, bang......" After knocking on several places, Zhang Fan found the entrance to the cave that Ouni had mentioned. Now that he knew where the cave was located, things became much easier for Zhang Fan. Using the same method, he determined the exact location of the cave entrance. The entrance to the cave wasn't very big, just enough for Zhang Fan to squeeze through by shrinking his body. But being able to squeeze through was still better than having to enlarge the opening and then enter.

  After determining the location of the entrance, the next step is to pry up the floorboards on the ground. When Zhang Fan determined the position of the entrance, he also roughly determined how thick the connection between the floor and the entrance was. This basic engineering project seems to be quite grand, with all buildings prioritizing safety and solidity. Just the floor alone, according to Zhang Fan's inference, is likely to have been poured with nearly a meter of thickness underneath. More than a meter deep! Although they found the entrance, it's not an easy task to reopen the entrance of this cave.

  Zhang Fan frowned at the floor, wondering how he could cut it open without making a loud noise that would alarm the people inside. He didn't have any usable tools on him, and even if he did, they wouldn't be as effective as using air itself!
