Chapter 231 Escape Moment

Sabrina was a bundle of nerves, but Landon's words helped her chill out. "Landon, I can do this!"

It was like she was giving herself a pep talk. Meanwhile, Landon turned to his crew.

"Guys, grab those three and make sure they can't spill anything!"

"Mr. Wells, don't worry. We got this!"

Landon's focus was still on Sabrina. She was breathing heavily, clearly hitting her limit.

"Sabrina, stop and take a breath!"

Landon shouted. Sabrina paused and took deep breaths.

"Landon, I don't think I can climb anymore."

Landon clenched his fists, super tense.

"Listen up. Do you hear anyone coming up the stairs?"

Sabrina could only hear her heartbeat, but soon she picked up on doors opening and people talking.

"Yeah... someone's coming."

Landon started pacing. "What floor are you on now?"

"The eighteenth floor, five more to the roof!"

Carl had pulled up the building's layout, including the residents' names.
