1847 Underground Palace Collapse
“I didn’t notice him. Maybe he’s gone to the back of the palace,” replied someone.
Since Chairman Sheng from the archaeological team had concealed his ident.i.ty during the trip, everyone called him Cheng.
“Young Master Min is also not here.”
When they finally noticed that people were missing, the archaeological team stopped checking out the archaeology site and looked at each other.
They wanted to search for them, but the vibrations from tremors suddenly went out of control. Loud rumbles could be heard coming from the surface beneath the underground palace as the earth shook hard.
They nearly lost balance.
As the shaking continued, dust started to fall from overhead and the place looked like it was about to collapse.
“Oh no. Someone must have triggered some kind of mechanism. This place is going under,” The surveyor, who had a lot of experience with geography, spoke with his face ghastly pale.
At this moment, a deep voice could be heard. “Run. Leave immediately.”
Chairman Sheng appeared out of nowhere. As he spoke, he kept walking out quickly without the slightest hesitation.
The underground palace was no ordinary archaeology site. It could float in mid-air without any support. If it collapsed, it might fall entirely.
Seeing this, everyone forgot about searching for the remaining missing people. They swiftly caught up with Chairman Sheng.
In just a few seconds, the floating underground palace had sunk by an unknown degree. The suspension bridge connecting them to the outside was also shaking violently.
Min Yu was still inside the floating underground palace trying to get in touch with Huo Yao using the communicator as he found his way.
The tremors became increasingly strong and the ground was obviously sinking.
Even though Yang Yi kept anxiously urging Min Yu through the mike to leave, Min Yu’s face remained calm, and never thought to leave first.
Half a minute later, the walls in the side hall were already starting to crack. Min Yu finally found the vase mechanism control in the corner. Just as he was about to turn it, the wall by the side suddenly turned open.
Huo Yao quickly came out. When she saw Min Yu, she was briefly astonished. Half a second later, she grabbed his arm. “Let’s go. The self-destruction mechanism got activated. It’s going to sink soon.”
Rocks kept falling from overhead. Min Yu said nothing. He pulled Huo Yao in front of him to cover any danger coming from behind and ran out at top speed.
The floating underground palace was sinking at an increasingly high speed. The archaeological team was still halfway through the suspension bridge.
Yang Yi and Zhuo Yun were already waiting on the opposite side. They wanted to help the archaeological team but stopped when they saw the suspension bridge sinking non-stop.
They were absolutely certain if any more people got onto the suspension bridge, it would sink even faster.
Boss and Miss Huo had not come out yet.
They could not put their boss and Miss Huo’s safety at risk, not in the slightest.
Zhuo Yun clenched his fists tightly and his heart was in his mouth.
Finally, Min Yu and Huo Yao could be seen on the other side of the suspension bridge. They quickly ran across the suspension bridge without even having the time to connect themselves to the safety gear.
Zhuo Yun glared at the sinking bridge and hurriedly shouted to his men. “Come on. Secure the bridge and pull it up!”
Considering the speed, it would probably sink into the mercury lake below before Huo Yao and the others managed to get across.
They were almost out of time!
