Chapter 395: Chapter 395: The Stench of Rot

Translator: 549690339

The surrounding stench was truly unbearable for them.

So, understandably, they were eager to leave as quickly as possible.

How could they not know that their most urgent task at this moment was finding a way out. Therefore, time was of the essence, and they began to search earnestly. Were there any hidden traps or exits in their vicinity?

However, after an exhaustive search, they found themselves empty-handed. This was immensely disappointing for them and felt like an intense blow.

The expressions on their faces communicated their hardship. It was becoming increasingly difficult for them to tolerate the foul smell that permeated the whole room.

While they initially held their breaths, as time dragged on, they could not continue to do so indefinitely.

Eventually, Suri Drew could not help but heave a long sigh, shaking her head before she spoke.

“I really can’t stand this anymore. The smell is unbearably foul. We’ve been searching for so long but haven’t found an exit. What on earth should we do now?”

Upon hearing these words, Yigol Novak immediately moved by her side, lightly patting her head.

“Don’t worry, love. Aren’t we still searching? We’ll definitely find a way out. We absolutely can’t give up.”

Despite his encouraging words, Suri was still disheartened. She thought that this place wouldn’t be very large, and that they could perhaps find the way out in a few steps. However, it now seemed her initial thoughts were nothing more than wishful thinking.

Despite searching this long, they were still unable to find a way out.

Even Price, who had been silent until now, couldn’t help but nod and echo in agreement.

“Yes, it shouldn’t be this big in theory. Are there really so many rooms here?”

Originally, he thought that this place was nothing more than a simple tunnel with a few rooms. But now, having already passed through many rooms, he had no idea about the size of this place, and when they could finally leave.

Just then, as if she had suddenly realized something, Suri’s eyes lit up with a glow of incredulity, and she said,

“What if… What if we just can’t find a way out? What if we just can’t leave via these routes?”

No one had promised them safe passage out from the start, so her heart was filled with a touch of apprehension. She wondered whether they could really leave this place safely.

At the outset, no one had considered this possibility, but after she voiced it out, it caused a spark of doubt to ignite within everyone’s heart.

Yes, what if they had gone in the wrong direction right from the beginning? What should they do then?

At the start, they simply followed a piece of rumor claiming there was an underground city. Yet, they had no idea about the existence of an exit leading out.

The previously stoic Price’s face also turned a shade uglier. He hadn’t considered this possibility in the beginning.

Caught in a moment of indecision, he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn’t know what words could capture the situation.

Yigol started doubting as well. If his wife was right, it meant all their efforts had been in vain. They had repeatedly searched the area without finding the exit.

They would have to return the way they came and wait for those people to leave before they could safely exit the hotel.

Otherwise, they feared that they might have to spend the rest of their lives in this place. There was even a chance of falling into the hands of those people.

“But no matter what, we’ve come this far. We can’t just give up, right?”

After a while, Yigol furrowed his brows and voiced his opinion to his wife.

And before Suri could reply, he shifted his attention to Price and asked,

“Didn’t you have some understanding of this place initially? Can you recollect and tell us about the intel and what you saw? Can you reiterate the details of the news you had?”

The moment Yigol spoke, both he and Suri turned to look at Price. They were eager to find out what he could tell them.

Both of them were utterly conflicted and unsure about their next move. They hoped that Price could clear their doubts at this crucial moment.

Noticing their expectant gazes directed towards him, Price hesitated for a moment before revealing,

“Actually, all I knew from the start was that there was a massive place beneath us. However, I did not know that we would have so many routes to choose from, nor did I know if we could leave this place.”

Thus, he was somewhat uncertain now.

Otherwise, when Suri spoke up earlier, it wouldn’t have had an impact on him. Yet, now he was incredibly doubtful. He wondered whether Suri’s words held some truth.

To their surprise, Price’s explanation only left them feeling even worse.

If that was the case, then what should they do next?

At the beginning, they had been avidly searching. But now, they were clueless about their next course of action.

They felt as if they had wasted their time and energy, without finding any useful information.

If the information they initially received was wrong and it was indeed impossible to leave this place, then this location was just a hideout spot for the criminals from the past. The roads they had taken were all in vain, and the energy they had expended was equally wasted.

Thus, nobody had the energy to continue their search.

It was as if they were a tightly pulled string that had suddenly snapped, leaving them sprawled on the ground.

The place already smelled terrible, and now they had to stay here continually. This, without a doubt, delivered another heavy blow to them.

But they genuinely lacked the confidence to continue. They were afraid all their efforts would still lead them nowhere, robbing them of their desired outcomes.
