Qian Chengxue led Wang Qing here, finding the area around the exit platform littered with wrecked Mechas.

Wang Qing said to Qian Chengxue, "The Monster was here; it might have already gone up. What do we do now? Go up or not?"

Everywhere nearby lay fallen Mechas.
It seemed Wang Qing was right; the Monster had chased all the way to the first level.

Qian Chengxue quickly pulled Wang Qing along a random passage; she avoided the direct route to the exit to lessen the chance of running into the Monster.
