Heng was still carrying Honglu. ChengXiao willingly offered to take the task with a laugh but Honglu denied it straight out. The reason was left to everyone’s guesses but there might be a fear of revenge.
Honglu asked one of the scientists. “Is that elevator really as safe as you said? What if the Aliens corroded the cables?”
The scientist replied immediately. “It shouldn’t. The area around is surrounded by an electrified safety net. Any little attack will cause it to counterattack. The Aliens have little defense against high voltage attacks. Of course, this refers to normal Aliens. The Queen’s exoskeleton resist higher voltages but I don’t think the Queen will go near the elevator.”
Honglu thought for a moment. “Ok then. We will take the elevator up. How much longer will it take to reach the shuttle?”
