Chapter 425
Without any hesitation, Zion took a bite of the apple.
After a while, he realized that he felt nothing. He had made the right choice.
The voice couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone looked around curiously at the surveillance cameras around. Something felt off about the operator on this floor.
"Now, Mr. Eason Grant, do you have a wish?"
The voice pointed Eason out again.
Eason pointed at himself and said, "Who, me? A wish? Send Joel back too, then."
As if the person was holding back their laughter, they said, "If I may ask, would Mr. Eason Grant dare to finish the remaining food on the table? From what I know, there's a high chance that the remaining food is poisonous."
Eason frowned, then turned around to look at Steven and I.
He grumbled, "Is this person crazy? Is he mocking me?"
Steven nodded solemnly.
"Yeah. He's looking down on you, but I don't know why you're letting him do it."
That was a very somber way to provoke somebody.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Steven stared at me in amusement for a while.
Provoked, Eason grabbed a bottle of milk from the table.
"If I die, I die. Everyone dies in the end, but I don't want to die."
And so, Eason took a sip of the milk with a straw.
To his surprise, he survived.
Steven looked at Eason as if he was an idiot.
Steven shook his head and whispered to me, "Do you see that? We're both students of the advanced class, but we're very different."
I nodded solemnly too.
Just as the voice was about to speak, Taylor, who had been "dead", gradually regained consciousness.
In a feeble voice, he said, "Water..."
Quinn hid behind Zion in fear.
"H-He's alive!"
Finally, the voice couldn't help but break out laughing. With the voice changer, it sounded eerie.
"He simply choked because he was being too greedy! None of the food is poisonous."
Zion frowned, finally realizing that something didn't add up.
He looked at the camera warily.
Suddenly, the ceiling opened up, and Rachel popped her head out.
"You guys are so funny!"
Zion looked at Rachel in shock.
"Rachel..."
Behind her, Joel poked his head out and mocked Eason, "You're still dumb, as always."
Eason almost choked on the milk.
"The fuck? What's going on?"
"Somebody took us away after we fell into that trap. I passed out, but strong man Joel held his breath, se he remained conscious. He dealt with the people down there. When I woke up, I discovered the control panel on this floor!"
Rachel continued to laugh heartily.
Meanwhile, Zion's expression was grim.
"Hurry and come down. It's not safe there."
Rachel continued shaking her legs as she sat up there.
"Mr. Zion Landon, are you worried about me?"
Then, she laughed. Zion huffed in dissatisfaction, but he remained quiet.
"Why don't you all come up and have a look? There's a tunnel that leads

Rachel, holding back her laughter.
"How do we get up there?" asked Quinn, who was nervous about the height.
"I found a rope. I'll pull all of you up."
Joel tossed the rope down.
Taylor, who escaped prior, felt guilty. He had been hiding in the back and staying silent.
"Wait. Let us eat first."
Steven took a piece of bread and took a bite. He continued, "We need stamina."
Everyone else walked over and began eating too.
"Zion, I want an apple. Pass one over," Rachel ordered Zion with a smile.
Zion huffed again, but he picked up an apple anyway and gestured to throw it to Rachel.
"I don't want that one. It doesn't look sweet," Rachel said coyly.
"How can you tell?" Zion asked.
"I want the one that you had. Since
you
y took a bite, you mustet Fit's sweet," Rachel saide ?
cheekily.
Zion paused. Then, his ears became bloodshot. He was shy because of how Rachel was teasing him.
