"Ayin, do you think this is the way we came from?"
Su Tang pointed at the mass of lines on the map, tracing them gently.
After a glance, Gaiyin confirmed, "It is."
Then, Su Tang picked up the map with joy and started to move slowly in the opposite direction.
As expected, as she moved, the lines on the map began to change slowly.
Unable to suppress the smile tugging at her lips, Su Tang said, "It really is a map! Ayin, we have a map now, we’ll be able to get out soon!"
Gaiyin looked at her with a gentle smile, "Mhm."
Su Tang remained excited for quite a while before suddenly sighing, "Why didn’t I think of it sooner? Then we could have avoided many detours."
"It’s not too late to realize it now." Gaiyin rubbed Su Tang’s soft hair affectionately.
It had already been 11 days.
Previously, because they only knew the direction and needed to ensure safety, they had taken many circuitous routes.
Originally, each of them had thirty Satiety Pills. Other than Su Tang who had only consumed ten, Gaiyin and Xi, who had to fight with Godzilla, and because of the non-stop rushing, both had already used up twenty pills. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
That is to say, the three of them now had only forty Satiety Pills left.
If this circle represented the Maze’s central location, then without the map, given the number of Satiety Pills they had left, there was no way they could make it to the end.
But now with the map, the situation would probably improve a lot.
And the reason Su Tang had previously inferred that the circle they were in was the Maze’s center was because last night, when looking at the map, this circle had been right in its center.
However, now that they had discovered the map changed in real-time, she was no longer sure if this was actually the Maze’s central location.
Su Tang propped her cheek in distress, "Why does the map only show a part and not all of it?"
If it showed everything, she would be able to know how far they were from the end.
Gaiyin opened his mouth to say something, then saw Su Tang suddenly startle.
She shook her head vigorously and finally calmed herself by patting her cheeks, "How could I think like that? Having a map that shows part of the Maze is already great! Compared to other people, we are extremely lucky to not have gotten injured."
"That’s the right way to think," Xi said with a light smile, handing over a Water Ball. "With the map, our speed will be faster than before. Have some water and rest, then we’ll continue moving forward."
"Yes!"
I must say.
Having a map makes a difference.
Cuddled in Gaiyin’s arms with the map in hand, and comparing it to the compass on her wristwatch, Su Tang transformed into a human navigator.
Su Tang— Efficient and Precise Navigator—
"Turn left at the next junction."
"Go straight through two junctions, then turn right."
"You’ve passed it, turn around, and go around that stone wall on the right."
"Stop! Rest here while I study it for a second."
"Let’s move out, continue along this path for two more junctions."
Having navigational commands makes a difference.
It was only ten in the morning, and they had already encountered a safe house.
With nearly nine hours left until nightfall, as was their norm, they continued on their way.
But after another four-plus hours had passed, they still hadn’t found any sign of a safe house.
The map only sketched out lines representing stone walls; there was no indication of a safe house.
They were suddenly faced with a difficult decision: "Should we go back, or should we move forward?"
