It would be a tall order to make it through the door. Thinking that it would be difficult for the two of them to walk together, An Xiaoning squatted onto the ground and said, "Mother, let me piggyback you, it'll be faster that way."
Shi Qingzhou conceded, well aware that she would cause a delay in their escape since she could barely walk. Thus, she latched onto An Xiaoning's back and allowed the latter to carry her.
The door on the stone wall closed automatically, after which the two walked along the narrow passageway.
There were no lights in the pitch-dark passageway. However, the darkness did not pose a problem to An Xiaoning since she was wearing the night vision goggles.
Having already followed Tuoba Gucheng around throughout the day, An Xiaoning was long since exhausted.
However, she had never once loosened up, perhaps because she was rather motivated.
