Chapter 794 - 794 774 Digging a Pit is So Exhaustive

794: Chapter 774: Digging a Pit is So Exhaustive 794: Chapter 774: Digging a Pit is So Exhaustive After some time and effort, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and David finally managed to hire a suitable truck.

According to David’s calculations, this truck could fit the prototype of the space-time door and other equipment.

They couldn’t pay attention to driver’s license matters at this point.

Su Hui jumped straight onto the truck, started it up, and hit the road, heading directly for their destination.

Luckily, the underground research base was built in a remote and barren area.

On their journey, Su Hui didn’t encounter any other vehicles or traffic police, making for a smooth ride.

After a bumpy ride, they finally returned to the farm.

Gu Fan and Su Hui got out of the truck; they acted first, telling David to hide.

If he heard anything suspicious, he was to run immediately.

However, upon entering the underground research base, Gu Fan and Su Hui discovered that the place had been thoroughly cleaned.

There was no blood or bodies in blood pools, nothing remained, anything that could be moved had been taken away.

“Good heavens, these people must be desperate.” Gu Fan and Su Hui checked multiple times to confirm there was no danger, before calling David down.

David came to the place where the space-time gate was previously located, and seeing that even the broken support of the space-time door had been taken away, he couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing, as if to say: Organization X, you really have outdone yourselves.

Then David pressed a spot on the wall, which automatically opened.

He explained that the device could sense human DNA and could only be opened by specific individuals.

Behind the wall was a storage area.

David carefully took out a box and tucked it into his pocket.

He nodded at Gu Fan, indicating it was time to leave.

“Good, let’s leave immediately.” Gu Fan and Su Hui led the way, all the while staying alert.

Although the place seemed safe on the surface, who could tell for certain?

Thankfully, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and David managed to leave the underground research base successfully.

It appeared that all of Organization X’s personnel had genuinely retreated.

Next was to find the prototype of the space-time door.

According to David, if they could improve it, they would; if not, they could still dismantle the machine’s components.

However, the prototype buried in the backyard, and David couldn’t remember precisely where.

All he could do was provide three shovels and get to work.

There wasn’t much else to say.

So, the three of them started digging.

They had quickly dug out a small hole and soon struck something hard.

David instructed Gu Fan and Su Hui to dig carefully, as the prototype was already far from an ideal machine.

It was discarded because of this.

If it sustained additional damage, it would be utterly useless.

This made Gu Fan and Su Hui feel tired as they considered the size of the space-time door along with the additional instruments.

However, Gu Fan and Su Hui had no choice but to do as David instructed.

They dug very carefully and slowly.

Gu Fan couldn’t help but complain: “Why do you like burying stuff so much?”

In response, David explained: “Our underground research base’s storeroom was already full.

We really didn’t have anywhere else to put things.

We couldn’t just throw away unused objects.

Even a failed experiment is confidential, so we had no choice but to bury them.”

“Alright, instead of complaining, better save some energy.” Su Hui had already become fatigued after a few digs and had to pause to wipe off her sweat.

She then carefully assessed their surroundings.

They were surrounded by a forest—it was nighttime, so even if someone passed by, they might not necessarily see them.

So, their environment was still relatively safe.

After three hours, they finally pulled out the first device.

However, they had exerted themselves to the point that all of them sat on the ground to rest, their arms too sore to raise.

At that moment, Gu Fan regretted not bringing Lu Yi with them.

He had wanted to follow, but Gu Fan had refused.

If he had known, he would have allowed him to come—an extra pair of hands would’ve speeded up their digging efforts.

Just then, Gu Fan received a call from Du Jun.

Du Jun had arranged for some assistance, but given Gu Fan’s location, it would take at least ten days, perhaps even longer before they’d arrive.

Hearing this, the morale of Gu Fan, Su Hui, and David took a hit—the longer it took, the greater the risk of being discovered by Organization X.

But, there was no better solution at present.

Gu Fan began to plan.

If Du Jun could help but it would only take a little longer, Gu Fan only needed to get the machine out and transport it to a safe place.

Then, they’d wait for Du Jun’s arranged personnel to arrive, meet up at the dock, and ship the items back to Gu Fan’s city.

“Alright, let’s get to work.” Gu Fan stood up right after saying that and started digging frantically.

Su Hui and David took a deep breath, then they also began to dig.

They dug from evening until the next day, then from daylight until night.

Every second was precious and there was no time for rest.

After a day and a night of hard work, the three of them finally managed to dig out the prototype of the space-time door and other instruments.

They collectively transported everything onto the truck.

It was 2 a.m.

now.

Gu Fan checked his maps on his phone and saw several remote towns nearby.

He suggested driving there to take a break and getting a good night’s sleep before hitting the road again.

The last thing he wanted was for Su Hui to collapse from exhaustion before they brought Lin Xi back.

However, they suddenly became alert when they heard the sound of engines in the distance.

They could see many car lights approaching in the dark, giving Gu Fan and Su Hui a bad feeling.

Could it be people from Organization X?

They found them so quickly?

Gu Fan was suddenly on edge.

However, he estimated via the car lights that the vehicles were still far away, and since their truck’s lights were off, they probably hadn’t been noticed yet.

So, Gu Fan made a decision.

He told Su Hui and David to drive away without the headlights on, while he would stay behind to distract Organization X and buy them some time.

However, Su Hui disagreed.

She couldn’t just leave Gu Fan behind.

It was too dangerous.

Gu Fan was resolute.

If he didn’t do this, Organization X would undoubtedly catch up with them.

By that time, nobody would be able to escape.

They would all be in danger.

Seeing the car lights getting closer, Su Hui clenched her teeth and stamped her feet.

She jumped onto the truck and said: “Gu Fan, I’m leaving first.

You must not get into trouble, or I won’t forgive you.”

“All right, see you later.” Gu Fan gave a contented smile, then he turned around to face the approaching vehicles.
