Gu Shi and Zhang Nan moved 13 people out of the nearby compartment. So many people were piled up in the aisle that they almost blocked the road.

Zhang Bei asked them not to detoxify these people yet. They didn't have much time. If they did, they would have to force the potion down their throats one by one, and then explain the current situation.

This is nothing. The most worrying thing is that someone here cannot see the situation clearly and will hold them back.

All in all, it would be better to seize the opportunity to save two more people.

As for understanding the situation, the person Zhang Bei just woke up is enough. He is the captain of the investigation team sent by the No. 5 base and has a deep understanding of this incident.

After Gu Shi and Zhang Nan rescued the people here, they walked out and carried out 8 people from another area.

13 plus 8 plus 1, there are a total of 22 people here. The total number of missing people before was 27, so there are still 5 people left who have not been found.

After Gu Shi finished counting the number of people, he turned to look at Zhang Nan and asked, "Where are the remaining five people? Where are they?"

Before Zhang Nan could answer, a somewhat unfamiliar voice from the side answered the question for him.

"They're not here, they're in an area further inside."

Gu Shi turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was the one Zhang Bei had just rescued.

Noticing their gazes, the man continued to explain, "The people here are separated and imprisoned according to their strength levels. This side is level four, that side is level five, and as for level six... they're imprisoned further down the mountain."

I see.

Gu Shi recalled the information he had read before. If he remembered correctly, among the 27 missing people, there were exactly 8 people at the fourth level, 12 people at the fifth level, and 5 people at the sixth level.

It just corresponds to the number of people they just rescued.

At this time, Zhang Bei walked out from behind the man, looked at Gu Shi and said, "I already know almost the details of the situation with him.

Next, Gu Shi, could you please take these people out and hand them over to Qin Yao and the others? Xiaonan and I will go deeper into the place he mentioned to investigate the situation.

Gu Shi nodded, "Okay, Captain Zhang, I'll try to go there and come back as soon as possible."

There was no other way. Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei were both warriors, and due to their limited means, they were unable to carry so many unconscious people at once. This task could only be done by Gu Shi, the wind mage.

"Then I'll leave it to you. We've almost wiped out all the guards in this castle. The only remaining one should be resting on the third floor. You just need to be a little careful when you take them out."

After giving Gu Shi a few words of advice, Zhang Bei took Zhang Nan away.

Next, Gu Shidang used the flying technique to make those people lying on the ground fly up one by one, including the awake man.

Even though he had been rescued, Zhang Bei had no intention of taking him with him.

Although the captain of the investigation team is capable and has good qualities in all aspects, he has been detained for so long that his body has not fully recovered.

And according to him, the Hamid family seemed to have used some kind of potion on them, and their magic power was locked tightly in their bodies and could not be used at all.

The antidote that Zhang Bei gave him to drink brought him out of his coma, but it failed to eliminate this abnormal state.

In this situation, they only have magical powers, but are actually not much different from ordinary people. Staying will only hinder the three of them.

For some reason, when Gu Shi heard the situation he described, a secret medicine that he had encountered before suddenly emerged in his mind, which was able to destroy other people's magical talents.

He remembered that this secret medicine also came from the Ativi Empire. Is there any connection between them?

Now is not the time to think so much.

Gu Shi didn't investigate further. He quickly headed out of the castle with a long line of people floating behind him.

He walked smoothly along the way, and under the cover of night, this strange scene was not discovered by anyone.

They walked all the way to the familiar hillside. The people on the ground had already noticed the figures approaching here. After discovering Gu Shi, Qin Yao waved to him vigorously.

"Gu Shi, here!"

Gu Shi led the others down, and then quickly said, "Sister Yao, I'll leave these people to you. I have to go back to help Captain Zhang and the others. We still have five people to find."

Qin Yao nodded seriously, "I understand. I will arrange for these people to be sent back as soon as possible. Be careful when you act."

Because of the magic circles near the castle, teleportation is prohibited in that area, but Qin Yao and the others are already out of this range.

Gu Shi didn't say much to Qin Yao. After putting these people down, he immediately turned back.

Gu Shi's trip back and forth didn't take too much time. When he returned to the basement, Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei were standing in front of a door thinking. It seemed that they had not made any progress yet.

Zhang Nan noticed Gu Shi returning and looked up and asked, "Gu Shi, you're back. Did everything go well this time?"

Gu Shi replied, "It went smoothly. I've already sent the person there. How about you guys?"

"As you can see, we're in a bit of trouble."

Zhang Nan spread his hands and explained, "We have tried all the keys we got from the guards, but we still can't open this door.

According to the intelligence we've gathered, the area behind this door should be quite important. If we open it in an unnatural way, we're afraid we'll be exposed."

"The key should be with the people on the third floor. It seems we still have to face them." Zhang Bei suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Gu Shi asked with some confusion: "I wanted to ask just now, what happened to the team you left behind?"

Zhang Bei explained, "The three people in that team are all advanced sixth-level professionals. We weren't sure we could finish them off before they tipped off the team, so we left them alone for now."

"So that's how it is."

Gu Shi thought about it and felt that dealing with three advanced sixth-order professionals was not a problem for him, but it would be very difficult to subdue all three of them at the same time in a very short period of time.

Speaking of these people, Zhang Bei added, "The magic power of these three people always gives people a sense of superficiality. It is very likely that their strength was not improved through normal means."

"But even so, their strength is indeed at the advanced level of level six, especially the leader. I even heard him say arrogantly that he would be able to break through again in a few days." Zhang Nan's tone was helpless.

The three of them stood together and thought for a while. Faced with the current dilemma, Gu Shi came up with an idea.
