Though Harlee couldn't make out the person clearly, she instinctively knew who it was.
The attack had csooner than Harlee had anticipated. She peered into the enveloping blackness, choosing not to advance. Their immediate concern was the mysterious mechanism beneath their feet.
Harlee began to explore her surroundings in the dark when suddenly a wall obstructed her path. Then, as abruptly as it had vanished, all sound ceased.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoom- With that thunderous noise, the lights flickered back on. Harlee found herself trapped in a maze. Walls surrounded her, leaving only a narrow space for two to stand.
"Rhys!" Harlee called out to Rhys, but the oppressive silence swallowed her voice. She pounded on the wall, yet the only echo was the sound of her own tapping. It seemed she was sealed off in this tiny segment of the world, cut off from sending her voice out or receiving any in return.
Harlee paused, deciding to conserve her energy instead of continuing her hopeless efforts. If she wasn't wrong, everyone else must be in the sdangerous situation as she was. She needed to stay calm and figure out an escape.
Harlee was taken aback by Samson's proficiency with mechanisms. The dungeon's traps surpassed those she had faced on highly complex missions.
Your imagination takes flight on gVlYet, what was the purpose of trapping them in this maze? Could Samson be planning to starve them out? Harlee doubted that. She had left a team outside. If her team didn't see her emerge, they would certainly destroy the mechanism by force. Such an action would leave Samson with no chance of escape.
Harlee speculated that the mechanism might be more intricate than it appeared, possibly impervious to external force. With this in mind, she continued exploring each wall by hand. Suddenly, her fingers found a yielding spot. Pressing it revealed that the wall could slide.
However, as soon as she moved the wall, the lights in that section went out, obscuring her path. Her options were to risk moving forward or to stay where she was.
Harlee closed her eyes, caressing her stomach, "Baby, Mommy's going to take a risk. You're going to be brave, aren't you?" She then resumed pushing the wall with her free hand. A clicking sound signaled that the wall was fully extended, and she began to search for other movable walls. Persistently, she made her way forward.
Oddly enough, even after moving several walls, she hadn't encountered anyone else. This suggested that the path might lead either directly outside or to a control center.
Hope rose within Harlee, spurring her on faster.

She entered a fifty-square-meter area adorned with numerous screens displaying various sections of the maze. Sscreens showed empty spaces, while others displayed groups of two or three people.
A wave of relief washed over Harlee.
She tenderly stroked her belly alsoft smile gracing her lips. "Baby, you really are my lucky charm."
Harlee had been by Rhys' side until the attacker lunged at them. Rhys quickly pulled her to his side, causing her to stumble forward. To her surprise, this accidental movement led her directly toward the control room. She realized how fortunate she was this time! She believed Samson was likely on his way outside.
As expected, Samson's silhouette appeared on one of the monitors He paused at the last moment, leaning against the wall as though deep in thought.
