"The exit is in the backyard. As for the key..." Lu Mi took something out of his pocket and displayed it openly. "I have it right here."
"Great, I'll come down right now." Long Xi'er's smile widened. She was about to head downstairs when Lu Mi stopped her.
"Wait!"
"Hm?" Long Xi'er frowned almost imperceptibly.
Lu Mi pointed at Wang Kangping's room. "One of our teammates is still alive. He's gone mad, but if we take him to the Healing Area, they might still be able to treat him. What do you think?"
"..." Long Xi'er nodded and caught the room key Lu Mi tossed up to her. "Got it. I'll bring him out."
As soon as Long Xi'er left, Cui Aobai hurried over and asked, "She won't hurt Wang Kangping, will she?"
Instead of answering, Lu Mi strode over and grabbed Shang Anbang, who was still getting water by the stove, then led them quickly toward the back door.
Shang Anbang spat out the water in his mouth. "We're not waiting for them? Wang Kangping-"
"I'll explain in a minute."
"Lu Mi." A door slammed shut, and Long Xi'er's suspicious voice rang out. "Wang Kangping doesn't seem to be in his room."
Lu Mi pushed the two of them out into the snow, gesturing for them to hurry toward the fence as he shouted back:
"That's impossible! Look harder. Wang Kangping might have hidden himself away because he's withdrawn and scared."
Long Xi'er sounded irritated. "He's not here. Not under the bed, not in the wardrobe. There's no sign of him."
There was no reply.
She straightened and hurried to the window. Watching the three people below approach the exit, she saw one of them stop and drag another person out from behind the Doghouse. She trembled with rage.
