Chapter 675
Nina saw a faint light ahead, guiding her direction. However, she also feared it could be leading to her final destination which was death.
She ran her hand along the wall and found a protrusion just as she expected. Pressing it, a sharp arrow shot out, embedding itself into the crevice of a rock. Then, lights flickered on. Nina was surprised by this. Under the dim lights, the walls appeared ordinary but were full of hidden traps. Nash looked at her. “You really do know your way around.”
Nina did not respond, relying instead on her instincts. She navigated through numerous traps, eventually reaching a hidden room.
“There must be something valuable here!” someone behind them said.
“What’s written above the door?” they asked, seeing a string of text inscribed on the entrance. None of them could decipher the obscure language.
Nina could not understand it either. She opened the door to the hidden room, releasing a burst of cold air. Inside was another lab, complete with equipment and various agents.
Wilfred immediately recognized the significance. “This is it,” he confirmed.
“Can you find what we need?” Nash asked.
“I’ll need to run some tests. Leave this to me,” Wilfred replied.
“Thank you,” Nash said, his tone serious.
“It’s no trouble. It’s a valuable experience for me too,” Wilfred said.
Though closely tied to the organization, he was also a doctor deeply interested in these agents. This could be a milestone in his medical career, helping him understand how to create the antidote and freeing many from Pharaoh’s control. “It’s cold here. Let’s head back up,” Nash suggested to Nina. “We’ve noted the traps. It’ll be fine.”
Nina, still staring at the cryptic text, snapped out of her thoughts and agreed, “Okay.”
As they emerged from the tunnel, the area had been mostly cleared. Back in the car, Nash covered Nina with a blanket. “Wait here. I’ll handle things and come back for you.”
Nina nodded firmly, watching Nash as he gave instructions. “Stay put and don’t wander off!” he emphasized.
“I know,” Nina replied.
Still uneasy, Nash asked Felix to stay with her, ensuring she did not move around. With everything arranged, Nash left.
Nina opened the car window, noticing Felix standing nearby.
She saw, in another car, Miranda was holding onto the door, refusing to leave. “Let me go! I’m Miranda, Nash’s fiancée, and a top celebrity. You can’t treat me like this. Take me to Nash!” Miranda’s eyes were red from crying, descending into hysteria. She was kicking and biting those around her. They had to consider restraining her as she continued struggling.
“Why are you tying me up? I didn’t do anything wrong. You’re the ones at fault!” Miranda shouted.
Watching Miranda’s frantic behavior, Nina felt a moment of dizziness but decided it was not worth paying her any attention.
“Ma’am, Captain said you shouldn’t wander off!” Felix reminded her.
“I’m not wandering off,” Nina replied. “I’m just getting out to stretch my legs. You can come with me.”
