Lou didn't like the sound of that at all, and it put them in a difficult position. They didn't have the weaponry to stand and fight against whatever was making that rumbling, if it was hostile. Starting off down a path and then potentially having the rumbling thing blocking their retreat — or worse, coming up behind them and getting them stuck between the unknown ahead and the unknown behind — was hardly ideal. If they stayed, though, there was a chance that they might be forced to retreat, which would push them into the down path, and that was hardly ideal, either.

This place was indefensible, and there was no guarantee that anything better would be coming along, but Lou had to quickly weigh out the lesser of two evils. "Let's go, then," he said, and started quickly towards the center path before anyone could suggest differently.
