After a moment's hesitation, Qi Xiang and the others all turned to look at the Mutated Rat King.
Although the creature looked shifty and unlikable, it had become remarkably perceptive since it started following Gu Xi and never made a sound without reason.
"Gu Xi…"
Gu Xi suddenly stood up and walked outside.
Stunned, the others quickly got up and followed her toward the exit.
Soon, the group walked out of the abandoned commercial street and arrived at the surface exit.
Nourished by the silent drizzle, the mutant plants they had cleared out not long ago had already grown back to completely conceal the entrance.
The moment Gu Xi approached, the plants covering the entrance acted as if on command, silently parting to the sides like a receding tide.
Without breaking her stride, Gu Xi soon reached the surface.
