Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 717 - 717 717 Pursuing Relentlessly

717: Chapter 717: Pursuing Relentlessly 717: Chapter 717: Pursuing Relentlessly “Gu Fan, let’s see how long you can keep up.” Just as Qian Feng was feeling triumphant, the twenty or-so pirates who had been guarding her suddenly woke up to find themselves in the midst of a horde of undead creatures, all lunging at them with their gnashing teeth and clawed hands.

Startled, the pirates scattered in fear and confusion.

“What the hell…

How did they wake up?

Did something go wrong with Qian Ying’s plan…” Qian Xue was stunned.

“It seems so!” Qian Feng remained quite composed due to her strength.

Even without protection, she could use her supernatural power to repel any undead creature that dared to close in on her.

The pirates didn’t have such ability.

Initially, they were under the control of Qian Xue, which made them extraordinarily strong.

Now, they were ordinary humans who were powerless to defeat even a single undead creature, let alone numerous ones.

One of the pirates was brought down and tore apart by the undead creatures.

The groans and wails that ensued were enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Qiao Ya fought while trying to move back.

However, the sheer number of undead creatures surrounding them was too overwhelming, making it impossible for them to break free, as more of these creatures were blocking the doorway.

Fortunately, many of the undead creatures had been dismembered earlier and could only crawl on the ground, posing less threat.

Otherwise, Gu Fan believed he would have been overwhelmed long ago.

“This isn’t good; we need to figure something out.” Gu Fan knew the situation would be disastrous if it continued like this.

Then, he glanced at Qian Feng, who was dealing with the situation quite effortlessly.

Qian Xue could use psychokinesis to stop the undead creatures from approaching them and use magic to break their limbs, plus there weren’t many undead creatures attacking them.

Gu Fan gritted his teeth, decided to go all-in, signaled Su Hui with his eyes, and she picked up his hint instantly.

“Qiao Ya, follow me!” Gu Fan shouted and, contrary to expectations, lunged towards Qian Feng instead of the doorway.

Su Hui quickly followed him, forcing their way through with their martial arts skills.

Qiao Ya was puzzled, unsure of Gu Fan and Su Hui’s intentions.

Given the urgency of the situation, he had little choice but to follow them, or risk being separated and devoured by the undead creatures.

At that moment, Qian Feng, Qian Xue, and Ning Qi noticed Gu Fan’s action and quickly understood his intention to divert their troubles elsewhere.

“Dream on if you think you can use us!” Qian Feng commanded, and Qian Xue swiftly cast a spell, immobilizing Gu Fan and Su Hui.

The undead creatures were inches away from attacking the immobilized Gu Fan and Su Hui, causing a sudden wave of terror to sweep over them.

“You’re finished, Gu Fan.” Qian Feng watched idly, even letting out a derisive laugh.

However, just then, several undead creatures lunged at Qian Xue from another direction, leaving her no choice but to release Gu Fan and Su Hui to deal with them.

She immediately cast a spell on the attacking undead creatures, halting their movement.

“Dear God, I can move again.” The moment Gu Fan could move, he narrowly evaded an attack from an undead creature, and his eyes met with the relieved face of a woman in red.

Shortly after regaining their mobility, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Qiao Ya, who had just caught up, quickly positioned themselves next to Qian Feng, resulting in a concentration of all undead creatures around their location.

“You wish, Gu Fan!” Qian Feng knew exactly what Gu Fan planned to do.

She refused to comply and instead thrust a strong gust of wind towards Gu Fan, Su Hui, Qiao Ya, and the undead creatures approaching them, sending them all flying and crashing into the wall, creating chaos.

“Thanks, see you later then.” Gu Fan, with a grimace of pain, hurriedly got up and ran towards the doorway, pulling Su Hui along with him.

Qiao Ya scrambled to catch up, cursing Gu Fan under his breath for only caring about the beautiful woman.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qian Feng understood that she had been exploited and harbored a deep hatred for Gu Fan.

On the surface, Gu Fan’s plan seemed to center around escaping towards Qian Feng while attracting the attention of all the undead creatures towards her.

By leveraging Qian Feng to deal with the undead creatures, Gu Fan would be safe.

In reality, Gu Fan had observed that Qian Feng typically dealt with the undead creatures in a particular way.

Gu Fan’s true plan was to lure all the undead creatures towards her so she would cast a wind spell, blowing them all away.

In doing so, she would inadvertently help Gu Fan clear all the obstacles, allowing for an easy escape.

The undead creatures didn’t get up quickly enough, so Gu Fan took full advantage of that.

He quickly got up amidst the pain and fled with Su Hui.

Qian Feng, having discovered that she had been taken advantage of and now infuriated, couldn’t catch up as the undead creatures blocked her way.

“We made it; I can’t believe we actually escaped.” Qiao Ya had never felt so exhilarated, even after his days as a mercenary filled with dangerous encounters and gunfights.

“Now isn’t the time to celebrate; we haven’t escaped yet.

Who knows what other traps the artificial intelligence has in store for us,” Su Hui said while running.

At that moment, the woman in red suddenly appeared next to Su Hui and said, “You’re right.”

Su Hui, already on high alert, was petrified by the woman’s sudden emergence.

She persisted, “I have organized some programs.

Seeing how resistant you all are, I’m thinking of adding a few challenges.”

Gu Fan protested, “Enough is enough, you artificial intelligence!

You won’t stop until you’ve wiped us all out, will you?

The ancient Super Civilization no longer exists, and there’s no one to bow to your dedication anymore.”

Gu Fan turned to see Lin Xi running towards them, which filled him with unspeakable joy.

“You all are okay, that’s a relief.” Lin Xi let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Gu Fan unharmed.

Before Gu Fan could utter a word, Su Hui chimed in, “We can talk later; let’s move and find the rest.”

Just as they were about to leave, both Gu Fan and Su Hui were immobilized again.

They knew without a doubt that it was Qian Xue’s doing.

Before Lin Xi could react, she watched both Gu Fan and Su Hui being pulled back, as if being yanked by an invisible force.

She felt a chill run down her spine.

Of course, it was Qian Xue who had taken action, but it was Qian Feng who spoke up, “Did you honestly think I would let you leave so easily?

Dream on.

Hand over all the research staff and chips now, or face the consequences.

I don’t think I need to spell it out.”

Upon seeing the hostages in Qian Xue’s hands, Lin Xi panicked, “We don’t have time for internal disputes right now.

Our priority should be to find a way out of here together.”

“I can think of a plan, but those things are non-negotiable,” Qian Feng countered, leaving no room for discussion.
