Knocking

Inside the Bell Tower, a group of people argued endlessly.

"Lin Pengpeng, don't act on impulse. Since the priest is the deputy captain, we should listen to him. Disobeying orders during a mission is a major taboo!"

"According to him, we should head back the way we came! I can't accept that! You all heard the static on the radio just now! If we set out now, we might be able to find General Pei through the radio. If we return to the Quarantine Zone like this, how are we supposed to rescue General Pei?!"

"...I don't agree with returning to the Quarantine Zone either. All the light-element members we could recruit are here. There's no point in going back. I say we should find that Labyrinth Boss called Chaos, kill it, and clear away the fog. That's the purpose of this trip. If General Pei were here, I believe she would make the same decision."

"This is absurd! General Pei's fate is still unknown. Shouldn't we return to the Quarantine Zone and report something this serious to our superiors?!"

"Stop arguing! Since no one can convince anyone else, let the deputy captain speak!"

The Divine Priest's head throbbed painfully.

In his opinion, after something this serious had happened, even if they did not return to the Quarantine Zone, they should at least leave the Maze, find somewhere with good communications, contact their superiors, and wait for further instructions.

But Lin Pengpeng's words also made sense. They could hear a voice through the radio now, which meant Pei Xianjue was not too far from them. If they left the Maze now, they might not be able to find Pei Xianjue when they entered it a second time.

Were they really going to let such a precious chance to rescue her
