"Someone's using the elevator!"
How could anyone be using the elevator at a time like this? Hadn't the elevator been shut down long ago? Besides, even the power had been cut off. How could it be running by itself?
Question after question lingered in the minds of the three—Xu Yanxing and the others.
But doubts were doubts.
They couldn't keep waiting by the elevator doors. Who knew what would come out when the elevator opened?
Time to get out of here.
They could reach the exit hall by passing through the corridor ahead.
The three hurried away.
The first floor was slightly better than the floors above. Although the power was out here too, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows provided enough light, so it wasn't too dark.
Only...
As they passed the tightly shut doors along the corridor, they couldn't help feeling that something was strange.
The surroundings were clearly silent.
Yet they kept feeling that people were still working inside those rooms.
Occasionally.
They could even hear "click, click" sounds coming from inside, as if someone were playing with the light switches. On, off, on, off.
But the lights here weren't controlled by switches.
So it was hard to say what exactly it was.
The three felt their hearts tighten as they passed. Instinctively, they lightened their steps, afraid to make even the slightest sound and provoke whatever was behind the doors.
Only after they entered the exit hall without incident.
Did the three finally let out a sigh of relief.
There was no one in the exit hall either, but unlike the rear hall, it wasn't a complete mess.
No great battle had taken place here.
There were no ruins.
All the facilities were intact. Even the documents on the reception desk remained neatly in place.
