Chapter 429
"I hope you'll stay alive."
After Steven inspected the elevator, he looked at Taylor.
He hoped for Taylor to stay alive.
But I knew Steven wasn't hoping for the individual, Taylor Barlowe, to be alive. Instead, he was hoping for humanity and innocence to stay alive.
Humans were born kind...
As long as one was not born evil, any average person should be allowed to make up for their mistakes.
Taylor was the average person among the group of geniuses. He was going through the motions...
He didn't have the chance to make decisions for his life. He was average, yet he tried his best to stay alive...
"When we get out..." Taylor said to Steven, smiling as blood continued to flow from his mouth.
"If we survive... You should all buy insurance... from me."
I smiled at Taylor.
"Yeah. I'll buy the most expensive personal accident insurance policy."
Taylor smiled at me, but his eyes began to lose focus. In the end, he passed out.
Zion looked away, then pressed the elevator button to the first floor.
If we could make it out alive... we should live a good life.
We should appreciate the people around us and also appreciate every new day.
Suddenly, the elevator halted on the tenth floor.
I glanced at everyone else in the elevator.
After inspecting the control panel for the 13th floor, I found it was not connected to other floors. Similarly, Benjamin's control room was not interlinked with other people's control rooms either. Yet, the mastermind still found out about our intention to escape.
That only pointed to one thing-there was a spy among us.
Sparks flew along with the screeching sound that the elevator made. The light inside the elevator began to flicker.
Out of reflex, Steven held my right hand while Michael held my left hand.
I wanted to shake Michael's hand off, but he refused to let go.
The elevator stopped between the tenth and 11th floors. The door. opened
to reveal a wall, which el.net
looked exceptionally scary S
"What do we do? Are we trapped in the elevator?" Quinn cried out of fear. She trembled and hid behind Eason and Zion.
Rachel consoled her, "It's fine. Don't be scared, we'll figure a way to get out."
"We're stuck on the blank floor," said Joel, frowning. He turned around to Steven.
"What do we do now?"
Suddenly, the elevator moved and began to drop rapidly.
Steven embraced me and said, "Everyone, look at the sides of the elevator and squat down."
Soon, the elevator stopped at the next blank floor. The door wouldn't close, and sparks continued to fly.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Quinn began to bawl from fear, and even Rachel hid in Zion's arms fearfully.
Eason turned pale from the shock. He cursed, "Crazy..."
"Someone's controlling the power source, When the electricity gets cut off.
eel get stuck," I whispered.
Then, I took a deep breath.
"They're trying to kill us," Eason cursed.
"They've discovered us..."
Joel warily scanned everyone in the elevator.
"There must be a spy among us."
On the 18th floor, the madman had also claimed to be among us....
Now, many had died and sustained injuries. The surviving ones were familiar people, but the more familiar we were, the higher the possibility for the culprit to be among us.
"Trust no one," Steven said in a low voice.
"It's you, isn't it?" Rachel snarled at Yasmin. "Are you the one who's trying to kill us?"
