After a brief Morse code communication, it was confirmed that Tom would be fine as long as they could rescue him in time, both Fang Xiaocao and Taotie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now we can relax a bit, let's rest for a while and wait for Xinyan to send someone."
Fang Xiaocao ungracefully collapsed onto the ground. The fear she had felt just moments ago had caused her to break out into a cold sweat. Now, as her nerves suddenly relaxed, she felt the exhaustion from both her body and mind.
Taotie wasn't doing much better.
Already suffering from internal injuries, the extreme emotions had caused him to cough up blood repeatedly before he finally lay down on top of the vault, gasping heavily and struggling to stabilize his mood.
Time moved from night towards dawn.
As the first hint of dawn appeared, the distant sound of a helicopter's rotating blades could be heard.
Fang Xiaocao immediately became alert.
