Time trickled away, and the door was barely pushed open a crack; hope was within sight, but so was despair, inching closer.
The floor had collapsed four-fifths of the way and was now right under everyone's feet. Panic filled their hearts, and it felt like they were running out of strength.
"Don't look back, just put every ounce of energy into pushing this damn door open, believe in me," Gu Fan bellowed forcefully, to steady the troops.
Hearing Gu Fan's roar, everyone's will to survive was reawakened; they clenched their teeth and pushed against the door.
A piece of the floor gave way, and someone screamed as they fell, sending a chilling shriek that made everyone's hearts turn cold.
At this moment, Lin Xi took action, diving down to catch the falling person, and then brought them back to the surface, placing them on solid ground.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned for a second; then they pushed against the door with even more effort.
