Zhou Yingting pondered for a moment and made a suggestion.

If the opponent comes over here, they will definitely take the safe passage. Blocking this passage should buy them quite a bit of time.

As for how they themselves will get back, that's a matter to discuss later.

What's most urgent now is to block these robots.

Upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words, Lin Hua and the others immediately nodded.

At this moment, it's indeed crucial to block the safe passage first.

"I'll go set the explosives!"

Wang Yuan stood up, quickly gathering everyone's explosives.

"Then I'll go around and find our retreat route."

With the safe passage blown up, they need a retreat plan as well.

On such a high floor, a careless direct drop can easily lead to the weaker team members dying instantly.

Their skills aren't at the level where they can drop from such heights safely and unharmed.

Once the team finished dividing tasks, they swiftly went to arrange them.

Zhou Yingting returned to his previous position.

Seeing Zhou Yingting come back, the person on the opposite side immediately questioned him about the progress.

Zhou Yingting wrote down a few words on the side, informing them that they need eight more minutes.

After writing, Zhou Yingting asked them whether the robot hadn't heard anything, approaching only in a patrolling manner.

The person on the opposite side, upon seeing Zhou Yingting's writing, informed him that it was still unclear.

Since they hadn't approached, they couldn't determine whether the robot knew about the commotion here.

Seeing that the person didn't know, Zhou Yingting could only signal them to continue monitoring the robot.

If it speeds up, inform him immediately.

Upon receiving Zhou Yingting's instructions, the other person continued tracking the robots.

In the anxious wait, about two minutes passed before the person on the other side warned Zhou Yingting again.

As the other person's light shone into Zhou Yingting's eyes, he picked up binoculars to look at them.

"The robot is speeding up, heading your way fast, probably arriving in about a minute."

Seeing these words, Zhou Yingting's heart jolted.

Just as he expected.

Previously, the robot only had a normal patrol speed, requiring ten minutes.

Now that it heard the disturbance here, it would surely rush over.

"If only I had let them try to distract the robot."

Realizing his mistake, Zhou Yingting could only ask the other person to see if they could distract the robot.

Seeing Zhou Yingting's writing, the person hesitated a bit, only giving a word of attempt without further comment.

"Forget it, they probably wouldn't want to risk themselves to distract the robot."

Zhou Yingting sighed, attracting the robot could easily cost them their lives; these outsiders aren't foolish, few would want to do this.

Now they can only hope drones can distract the robot.

Zhou Yingting got up and ran into the building to inform the team of the news.

As Zhou Yingting ran back, he saw Lin Hua and Wang Yuan returning.

The group wanted to ask for each other's progress upon meeting, but seeing Zhou Yingting, they turned their attention to him, wanting to hear his news first.

"The robot has accelerated, arriving in about a minute."

Zhou Yingting spoke concisely, sinking everyone's hearts.

"I've planted the explosives, altogether planted on twenty floors."

Waiting for Zhou Yingting to finish, Wang Yuan continued.

"You didn't put too much, right? We don't want the building collapsing; if it does, any equipment disruption would break the consciousness transmission."

"Don't worry, I just tested the building's solidity; our explosives can't make it collapse."

Wang Yuan said reassuringly.

The rest glanced at the building, realizing it seemed solid enough.

Thinking about this, they felt relieved.

"What about your side, did you find a way out?"

With Wang Yuan's situation resolved, it was Lin Hua's turn.

Lin Hua mentioned finding the retreat route; it's unclear how that's going.

"There's a building next to us that can serve as an escape direction, the gap is about thirty meters."

"With our skills, jumping over shouldn't be an issue."

Lin Hua replied promptly.

Thirty meters? That shouldn't be a problem.

As they conversed, they returned to the equipment area.

Looking at the equipment, everyone turned to Xiao Yuzhu.

"A bit over five minutes left."

Seeing everyone look, Xiao Yuzhu spoke.

"The robot will arrive in about a minute, get your weapons ready."

Knowing five more minutes were needed, everyone could only say helplessly.

Listening, the others immediately drew their weapons and hurried to the safe passage.

Glancing at Wu Yong continuing the consciousness transmission, Zhou Yingting said to Xiao Yuzhu, "Notify us when it's almost over."

"Stabilize things here."

Upon hearing, Xiao Yuzhu responded immediately, watching Zhou Yingting and the others leave.

Soon, the group reached the safe passage.

Looking at the stairs below, they seemed a bit crowded at the passage.

But for them, this kind of congestion is good; it prevents the robots from utilizing their numbers advantage.

In this regard, it's a definite benefit.

"We've blocked here, but what if they climb the elevator shaft directly?"

A few of them thought, asking.

They didn't take the elevator shaft at that time, but the robots probably could.

Moreover, blowing things up around the elevator shaft seems difficult.

Hearing this, Wang Yuan paused briefly, then spoke quickly.

"I placed explosives on the elevator cables; if they take the shaft, the lines will blow, crushing the car downwards."

"But that's not workable either; the car would land in the basement, and they could open the elevator on the first floor and continue climbing."

Hearing this, everyone paused, their expressions instantly tensing.

That's indeed the case.

This complicates the situation further.

The elevator shaft can't easily be blocked!

"Send some people, dismantle the walls, and directly stuff things into the elevator."

Lin Hua gritted his teeth, knowing it's the only option now.

But this way, it'll require a lot of effort.

Listening, Zhou Yingting considered and walked to the elevator.

With explosives detonating at the passage, robots should find it difficult to ascend, but it's uncertain concerning the elevator shaft.

They really could climb up from the shaft.

If they reach behind without notice, it'll be troublesome.

Joining Zhou Yingting were many others, who easily pried open the elevator doors to peer into darkness below.

And such a large shaft, thinking of stuffing it entirely denotes immense difficulty.

Just witnessing it seemed overly challenging.

Contemplating the shaft, a thought suddenly occurred to Zhou Yingting.

Earlier on the higher floors, he saw a garden-like design, using abundant boulders—judging by their tactile sensation, they appeared real.

If that's the case, they could potentially use those stones to bury the elevator shaft.
