Chapter 95 The Hope Within the Harshness
Jean’s brows furrowed deeply.
Finished
That’s only natural, since she couldn’t feel the presence of anyone else at all – Easton, the crew members, the rescue team
No one.
It was as if they had completely vanished, and she was trapped within a strange, airtight space.
She couldn’t hear a single sound from the others.
Jean struggled to get on her feet. She began to circle the rocks, with the torchlight firmly held in her hand.
She was searching for a tinge of hope for survival among these rocks.
She couldn’t let herself trapped and died here.
However, after circling for a long time, all she found was nothing but rocks. There wasn’t a single place where hope seemed possible.
She lowered her eyes, a hint of desperation flashed in her eyes.
It was then the walkie–talkie in the adventure pack came across her mind.
A flash of excitement flickered in her eyes as she immediately opened his backpack.
She rummaged through her backpack and she finally found the walkie talkie at the corner of her bag.
However, when she was about to open the walkie–talkie, she realized that it seem to be malfunctioning.
To put it in simple words, it couldn’t work at all!
For God’s sake!
Jean felt like crying.
She thought, What was this bad luck? Is the end of me?
At that thought, a flash of resolve ignited in her eyes.
Even if fate turned against her, she wouldn’t concede defeat that easily.
At this moment, Ludwig came across her mind.
Jean thought, With her current situation, does Ludwig have any way to save her?

Sadly, what she could do now was think about it.
Finished
She never brought that badge from the Abyssal Choir with her, and naturally she wasn’t able to contact Ludwig via the badge.
Now, she could only rely on herself.
Jean rapidly adjusted herself. The desperation earlier was gone, as she continued to inspect her surroundings with the torchlight in her hand.
After around 20 minutes, she finally found a gap that was neither wide nor narrow at a corner.
If there’s a gap, it explains that it is not a total airtight space!
Jean pressed her lips together. She accumulated strength in her fingers as she tried to move the rock around the gap.
She knocked and tapped for a while. All of a sudden, she didn’t know what she knocked but a whole chunk of rock started to move!
The initial small gap turned wider without warning – wide enough for a skinny child to slip through sideways.
Jean finally understood how she could end up in this isolated space from the main path of the tunnel.
It turned out that she might have bumped against a similar chunk of rock, and fell inside through the narrow gap.
As for the others, they were too big to fir through.
Jean let out a soft sigh as she thought, How could I be this unlucky? A series of coincidences and accidents led me in this current situation.
Fortunately, now she had caught a faint tinge of hope.
Carrying her backpack, she squeezed through the narrow gap carefully.
She instinctively held her breath and tried her best to curl her body.
After a series of intermittent struggling, she made it out!
Jean couldn’t help but took a long breath.
However, the sight in front of her made her stand still in place.
She never thought that after crawling out, a huge piece of rock lay before her.
Besides, what surrounded her was still impassable rocks.

Jean felt like she was being played in the hand of fate.
She gritted her teeth; her eyes filled with resilience.
The more reality hit her, the less she could afford to fall!
Like how she did before, she inspected the surroundings with her torchlight.
Finished
Hard work and determination never goes unrewarded. Before long, she discovered another gap between the rocks.
Based on her experience, Jean pushed the rocks around the gap. But this time, the rocks didn’t move an inch even thought she had used every ounce of her strength.
And this gap was too narrow for her to slip through.
This time, Jean was truly trapped in this difficult situation.
Unwilling to give up yet, she bit her lips and bent her body down as she pressed her face against the gap.
She cast her gaze out via the gap,
s she tried to grasp the condition out there.
Without warning, a beam of bright light shot through.
Jean instinctively backed away as she blocked her eyes with her hand.
The next second, she heard clear footsteps.
Someone was right out there on the other side of the rock.
This could possibly mean that she was just one step away from getting out of this dire situation.
Jean immediately pressed her face against the gap as she yelled at the top of her lungs, “Anybody there?”
Once her voice landed, the sound of footsteps outside stopped.
This time, she didn’t back away. Instead, she squinted her eyes instinctively.
Then, the sound of cautious footsteps rang beside her.
Someone was approaching tentatively.
Jean widened her eyes, and with the aid of torchlight, she vaguely saw a face approaching from outside.
It was Julia.
Holding her torchlight Iulia slightly widened her eves as she annroached with caution.

escape.
Subconsciously, Jean wanted nothing to do with Julia.
Because she knew that the capable and intelligent Julia was not a kind person.
However, given everything that had happened until now, they were not at odds with each other.
Just as Jean was still tangled in her thoughts, Julia suddenly spoke, “Who, who are you?”
Her voice was trembling slightly. It was obvious that Julia wasn’t calm as well, and was even a bit fearful.
Jean spoke up boldly, “Julia. It’s me, Jean.”
Upon hearing her, Julia froze for a moment; her eyes darted around for a while. Then she asked, “Jean, why are you here?”
Jean pressed her lips slightly.
Given her current situation, the only way is to ask help from Julia.
No matter what, staying alive and escaping was the top priorities.
Thinking about this, she parted her lips slightly and recounted her earlier encounter to Julia.
She then said sincerely, “I’m now trapped here and can’t get out. Can you please pass on the message to the rescue team?”
Julia kept biting her lips as she remained silent without saying a word.
For some reason, upon hearing those tragic experience she had encountered, not only did she not feel sorry for her, but she felt a strange thrill instead.
In fact, she didn’t like Jean.
A useless good–for–nothing who knew nothing – how did she get such good luck to be on the same team as Easton and enjoy his care?
