Chapter 213 Discovery
They were incredibly lucky to survive such a grueling project.

Jiang Hui quickly checked the time at the bottom corner of the electronic screen. There were indeed about thirty stars left, and the simulated bra was showing that it was charging rapidly. Everything was operating normally.

In other words, no matter where they are, as long as they survive these thirty minutes, they will eventually be able to leave the supply point smoothly, and it will not affect their match afterward. After experiencing all the chaos just now and making worst-case scenario plans—this is excellent news.

only……

"Where are we?" Jiang Hui stared wide-eyed at the seemingly endless darkness.

After a brief discussion, the three of them finally understood the current situation.

They were still on the same resource box, but for some reason, what was holding them in place was no longer the simple, convenient control rack, but a strange shell that conformed to their skin and was made of an indescribable material, and they didn't know where it came from.

Could this box come with emergency first aid? Jiang Hui was a bit confused and didn't know how to get out of the current situation, since they didn't even know what was restricting their movements.

The packs were stuck under the shell, and although their arms could still move freely, they couldn't reach under the shell, let alone retrieve the lighting equipment inside.

If there's really no other way, they'll just have to stay stuck like this until they're teleported out... Maybe that'll work? Jiang Hui was a little unsure.

"Actually, it's nice to be able to sit for a while. That part was fun, but it was also really exciting, and I'm still a bit shaken off," Zhou Xiuwen said with a dry laugh.

“Look… this resource truck is still moving forward. So where is it taking us?” Huan Xian suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui also noticed. Ever since they woke up, they had been hearing the sound of tires, a continuous noise that was still going on. However, they hadn't been paying attention to it until now, as they hadn't figured out what was going on.

It seems the car never stopped. Even after they were half-conscious, it continued to carry them through the darkness. But where was it taking them?
I followed the resource box here out of the blue, and then I found a total energy block that I hadn't discovered before. This whole thing seems rather strange.

The group wanted to investigate further, but reality held them back. They couldn't move now—

Just as the group was trying to figure out a way to break free, a crisp sound suddenly came from the space, as if someone had pressed a button, "click".

Jiang Hui instantly felt the restriction attached to her upper body and waist vanish; the thing that had been limiting them was gone. They were free to move.

She tentatively swayed her upper body, moved her legs, and twisted her waist... only then did she realize that the convenient control frame she had set up earlier was still there, but the things attached to it that restricted them were so prominent that she had overlooked the existence of the control frame.

However, this control panel was easy to handle. Jiang Hui quickly found the adjustment button based on her memory and instantly disassembled and retracted the entire control panel.

Upon gaining their freedom, all three instinctively took out their respective lighting tools from their nano-packs. Although it was slightly difficult in the completely dark environment, it wasn't a major problem.

Soon, the pitch-black environment was illuminated by several dim, yellowish lights.

Jiang Hui tried to use a wide-angle light to explore the surroundings, but the path seemed too deep. Even the wide-angle light with its extremely long illumination range couldn't reach the scenery at the end.

After taking pictures for a while, seeing that there was still no end in sight to the mountain road and tracks ahead, Jiang Hui finally gave up and decided to turn around to see what the environment behind her was like. "Whoa!"

To my surprise, when I turned around, I was met with what looked like a suspended human head, its eyes wide open and looking upwards. The dim light shone on the pale face, and against the backdrop of the dark environment, the whole atmosphere became somewhat eerie.

Jiang Hui was startled and was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Zhou Xiuwen.

The kid was looking up, and the light shining on him unintentionally created a slightly creepy optical illusion; it was pretty scary anyway.

Zhou Xiuwen was still a little confused when he heard Jiang Hui shout that. He looked away and looked at Jiang Hui with a puzzled expression.

What... what should Jiang Hui say? Should she say she was frightened? That would be making a huge fuss.

She felt embarrassed just thinking about it, so she decided not to bring it up and let others laugh at her. In the end, she could only awkwardly change the subject: "Have you found anything?"

Zhou Xiuwen shook his head.

Huan Xian skillfully shone a small particle beam lamp around the rock wall, observing it carefully. "Uh... this seems to be a cave," he said, somewhat uncertainly. There was no way around it; they had too little information.

The group considered jumping down from the resource crate to search the area. However, after seeing the environment of the passage clearly, they completely abandoned the idea, because this passage was different from the tunnels they had passed through before; it was a one-way passage.

The resource truck carrying them was moving forward along the only track in this passageway.

So the most reasonable, but also the riskiest, approach right now is to simply follow the resource crate and see where it eventually takes them.

But... how much longer? It's been about ten minutes, hasn't it?! In the seemingly endless wait, the three of them were also getting quite tired.

And perhaps because they were in a dark environment, and had not slept for more than ten hours, the three of them listened to the even sound of the wheels, and their consciousness gradually became hazy and drifted away, and they gradually entered a kind of dazed state.

So sleepy...

"Gurgle, gurgle—tap-tap!" A crisp sound, completely different from the rumbling of the car, instantly woke the three drowsy people.

"Uh... um? Have we arrived?" Zhou Xiuwen asked, somewhat dazed.

Jiang Hui turned the wide-angle light back on and shone it around, discovering that their environment had changed again.

Behind them remained a long, narrow passage that seemed to stretch endlessly, but the environment ahead had changed somewhat. A few steps forward from where the resource box had stopped, the space suddenly widened. Light shone in, and the group, with their excellent eyesight, quickly noticed something different after scanning the area.

On a sudden inspiration, the group jumped off the resource box almost simultaneously and headed towards the pile of blurry objects.
