Chapter 593: Isolated Island (6)
At midnight, Pei Yun suddenly opened her eyes as she had the day before, got up and walked out of the ward. Avoiding the nurses on duty at the service desk in the corridor, she went all the way to the ground floor of the building, where Fu Lingchen was already waiting at the entrance.
"You've arrived!" After seeing Pei Yun greet him, Fu Lingchen stared blankly at the clock on the wall, remaining silent.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing. I just suspect that the numbers on this clock are a hint to those of us who are entering this world..."
Pei Yun shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go to Zhou Feng's place!"
The protective array surrounding the hospital building had been broken by them last night, so the two of them left the building easily this time. Of course, they did not run into Xu Shen and Yang Ni.
The five of them had arranged to meet at Zhou Feng's place early in the morning, so shortly after Pei Yun and the other two arrived, He Changxuan and Minglu also arrived.
"The servants have left, and now there are only the five of us in this villa."
As Zhou Feng spoke, he took out five cell phones from another room, including his own. "The servant said that these things are restricted to us important figures from outside. These four phones are ones I stole from other people living in the villa. They should work too, right?"
All four looked at Pei Yun. Pei Yun frowned and took the phone. To her surprise, the phone was not locked. She tried it and found that it could actually be used. She instantly realized that this loophole in the rules might have been deliberately created by Ancestor Qin Meng.
Pei Yun began teaching them how to use the phone to contact others. The other four tried it out with expressions of astonishment and disbelief, exclaiming, "Cultivators communicate through divine sense, but they can't communicate over long distances. How can ordinary people contact each other over such a long distance with such a small device..."
Pei Yun then began to recount what had happened that day. In fact, apart from Xu Shen and the other man coming to besiege him, he hadn't discovered anything else.
In fact, her movements are most restricted during the day, as she can only stay in the ward. This won't do. Pei Yun has already begun to plan how to make herself more useful during the day.
Minglu also revealed what she had experienced during the day, and what she saw and heard was much more exciting than what Pei Yun had: "...I originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to the prison to check the situation, but one of the participants, who should be a member of the team that Pei Daoyou eliminated yesterday, found the gate to leave the island and wanted to take the opportunity to leave the island, but was shot dead by the guard!"
The four were all shocked to hear this. Fu Lingchen interrupted Minglu and asked curiously, "Is this person really dead?! Died during the trial mission?!"
Minglu shook her head with a slight hesitation: "After that participant was shot and fell to the ground, just like the person Fellow Daoist Pei eliminated, his body gradually became transparent and disappeared. He should have left this 'Trial Gate'!"
"So where is the gate to leave the island?" Pei Yun asked, getting straight to the point.
Minglu's spirits lifted: "It's to the west! The island is surrounded by fences, and there's only one gate leading to the outside. However, that's the most heavily guarded place. I secretly checked, and there are at least a hundred armed guards like me. It's impossible for ordinary people like us to break through during the day..."
“According to the topographical map drawn by Fellow Daoist Zhou, the west side is the logistics area and warehouses…” He Changxuan said.
“Although I had my servant show me around, I only saw the outside. I don’t know what’s inside the building…” Zhou Feng added.
"No one in our team is stationed in the west; we need to find an opportunity to go to the west district to investigate."
Pei Yun then turned to He Changxuan and asked, "Did you go to the top floor of the research institute during the day? Is the 'door' we entered still there?"
He Changxuan shook his head and said, "There's no 'door' during the day. It's just a data room. I even ran into Pu Bufan when I went there. But I discovered something in the data room. The patients in the ward building where Senior Sister Pei and Fellow Daoist Fu are seem to be experimental subjects for a new drug. The dean mentioned something about clinical trials during a meeting. The data room not only contains patient files but also drug development information. I only found this much because I didn't have enough time. I'll look for another opportunity to sneak in tomorrow..."
"Good!" Pei Yun nodded. "Fu Lingchen, have you gotten any information from those patients?"
Fu Lingchen replied, "The patients on the fifth to tenth floors are all in very poor spirits, seemingly seriously ill. The people in the wards on the second to fourth floors don't seem like patients, but rather like prisoners. They have external injuries on their bodies. These people basically ignore me when they see that I'm just bringing food. Only on the third floor is there a young woman who is acting very strangely. She knelt in front of me and said that she was tricked into coming to Z Garden, and then she was arrested and brought here. She cried and begged me to let her leave..."
"Before I could even ask anything, the nurse came in and chased me away..."
Fu Lingchen frowned as he recalled, "Before I left, I saw the nurse give the woman an injection in her arm with a syringe, and the woman fell into a deep sleep a moment later..."
“Now that you mention it, Fellow Daoist Fu, I remember that the Dean did mention in the meeting that a group of people were sent here from Z Garden…” He Changxuan added.
Pei Yun thought for a moment, and was about to open her phone to see if she could find anything online, when a bright light shone through the French windows of the villa.
The five of them looked out the window in unison, and Minglu blurted out, "Someone else has found the 'door'?!" The same scene had happened last night, so the five of them were not surprised.
"Let's go!" Pei Yun quickly got up from the sofa and led the other four people out of the villa, heading towards the source of the light.
The "gate" appeared in the western logistics area, which was guarded by many ordinary people from this world. To avoid getting entangled with them and wasting time, Pei Yun flew directly at night and quickly arrived inside the gate.
"We meet again. May I ask your honorable surname, fellow Daoist?"
When Pei Yun and his group of five arrived, the other three teams were already inside the "gate," including the three remaining members of Guo Cai's team. It seemed that these people had come prepared.
"My name is Pei Yun, and I am the captain of our team." Pei Yun looked around and found that there were five small magic arrays in the room, with an array plate in the center of each array.
“Fellow Daoist Pei, this array room happens to have five arrays. How about we each choose one array to break, and the array plates and flags obtained will belong to our respective teams?”
Cai Dongcheng maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, showing no sign that he was the one who ordered Xu Shen and Yang Ni to attack Pei Yun.
“Okay.” Pei Yun didn’t know what they were up to, but she wasn’t afraid.
At this moment, the captains of the other two teams stepped forward, and Wen Ping said:
“Fellow Daoist Pei, I presume there are disciples of the Array God Hall in your group. You should have discovered that this isolated island is shrouded by the Nine Absolute Thunder Array. If we want to escape, we must first break the array. However, the Nine Absolute Thunder Array is a fourth-grade array, and a single array master cannot break it. Why don’t we all join forces to break the array together?”
“Fellow Daoist Wen is right. At this time, cooperation is better than infighting,” Park Bu-fan also stepped forward to express his opinion.
