Run? Ling Chen had never even thought about running. Even though they'd been cut off from the outside world, the base was still a fortress; it wouldn't be easy for the enemy to break in. But if they left through the escape passage and went outside, they'd very likely run into an ambush by He Honggang's people, and that would be even worse for them. At least here, he could concentrate their strength and ensure everyone's safety.

Hu Fei didn't answer. His eyes were locked on the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard. After a while, he frowned and said, "That ventilation shaft has already stopped running. And I checked the air concentration in the base—it's dropping fast."
"How could that happen?"
"I don't know. We've lost our 'eyes' to the outside, we can't get a read on anything out there. If possible, we'd better send someone out to scout the situation."
