They never broke out of their line and continued to move forward in a straight line. Ace appeared to be expressionless and calm, but deep inside he was also nervous.

The narrow corridor continued on without any light. If it wasn't for the torch held by the man at front, they will be plunged in complete darkness.
Just as when Kevin was about to spoke up, the narrow corridor finally has some hint of light.
It was small, then it grew bigger and bigger until they finally step out of the corridor.
