Rose had brought him to the island for several days, and this was the first time Tang Jingyuan walked out of the house. From a distance, he could only see the clearer horizon, and no other buildings.

The sentries kept coming and going without stopping. Bai Yue took him to visit each place one by one and revealed Tang Jingyuan's thoughts in one sentence.

"You want to go out and take a look around, get to know the terrain better. Instead of looking for them, why not let me, your good brother, lead the way? That would be more to your liking. What do you think?"

Tang Jingyuan lowered his eyes slightly and smiled calmly: "After all these years, you still understand me so well."

"We went through life and death together back then, how could we not understand? But your stubborn temper hasn't changed at all. Even in this situation, you still refuse to give up and even want to escape from here."

He turned and looked back at Tang Jingyuan, his eyes full of provocation. "Rose and I personally arranged this place for you. Third Brother, are you any stronger now than you were back then? I never thought that you would be imprisoned one day! Even if I let you go now, you won't be able to escape from here."

Bai Yue moved closer to Tang Jingyuan and smiled darkly, "This is your only chance, so watch carefully."

Tang Jingyuan frowned and stared at Bai Yue with full vigilance, obviously hearing the hidden meaning in his words.

Along the way, Bai Yue was extremely attentive. He took the initiative to introduce the surrounding arrangements, and even told him the regular schedule of each patrol by the sentries. He even explained clearly what kind of guns were equipped on each watchtower.

Tang Jingyuan didn't know whether to believe it or doubt it. Seeing that Bai Yue was almost about to tell him the entire topographic map, Tang Jingyuan couldn't help but ask him.

"You are Rose's person. Is it appropriate for you to tell me so much?"

Bai Yue was full of confidence: "Even if I give you a complete topographic map now, it won't make any difference."

"You are much more confident than before."

"I told you, this is designed specifically for you. After all this time, have you found the signal tower?"

Tang Jingyuan was shocked. He didn't expect Bai Yue to see through his thoughts so easily.

"We are brothers in life and death. I am familiar with all your ways of thinking. Professor An is just stalling for time so that you can find the signal tower more easily, right? But I bet that even if you find the signal tower, you won't be able to send a distress signal to Gu Feng."

"Being too confident is not necessarily a good thing."

Tang Jingyuan didn't seem to care about what Bai Yue said. He continued forward, occasionally glancing around as if genuinely searching for something. Bai Yue assumed he was merely masking his embarrassment at having his thoughts seen through, and strode after him.

Half a day passed in a flash. As Bai Yue had predicted, Tang Jingyuan failed to find the answer he wanted. After lunch, he locked himself in the room. Meigui was busy discussing professional knowledge with Professor An, so no one bothered her for a while.

In the dark dungeon, Lu Anning slept soundly, barely noticing the passage of time. It wasn't until the guards brought her food and water that she slowly opened her eyes, having lost track of how much time had passed.

Bai Lu had said they would continue today, but she felt even more puzzled when she saw the guards leave after putting down food and water.

She called out to the two guards, "When do I want to proceed to the next round?"

The guard couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Everyone else is eager to stay in prison, but you're so eager to enter the Colosseum? However, that's unlikely in the next few days. The lab is resting. You're lucky. While you recover from your injuries during these few days, you still have a chance of survival."

Lab break?

"Why? The lab was fine, why did it suddenly take a break?"

The guard chuckled. "You're just a little guinea pig in prison, why are you asking so many questions? If you have something to eat, eat it quickly. There's also medicine next to it. Don't die, or I'll be in trouble."

The two guards left cursing. Lu Anning looked down at the food on her plate, lost in thought. A moment later, the doctor who had changed her dressings arrived.

She leaned against the wall, drank some water, and hadn't touched her food.

As the doctor disinfected and applied medicine to her wound, he moved closer, and the faint sounds drifted into her ears.

"Mr. Tang and the professor are fine. Miss Lu, just focus on recovering and don't worry about anything else."

Lu Anning was startled and looked up at the doctor. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but when he saw the other's alert eyes, he immediately swallowed them back.

He and his mother are fine, and he can even find someone to pass on the message!

A smile finally appeared in the corners of Lu Anning's eyes. She leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh, as if she had taken a reassurance pill. If this was the case, then she could rest assured and stay here, adapting to the situation. Presumably, the situation over at Jingyuan wasn't too passive.

The medicine they sent was very effective. The wound on Lu Anning's shoulder healed quickly and had already formed a scab. The doctor advised that as long as he stayed still, he should recover soon.

After the doctor left, Lu Anning looked at Yu Hui next door. She had slowly opened her eyes at the noise. Since there had been no attacks, Yu Hui had finally regained some energy and even had a better appetite.

Lu An Ning looked at her, but still didn't tell Yu Hui the truth. He only advised her to eat more so that she could hold on with more energy.

Yu Hui thought of the pain she had felt that night and was a little dazed. "Endure? I don't know how much longer I have to endure, or how much longer I can endure. Will days like this ever really end?"

Lu Anning's eyes flashed with determination: "Believe me! We will definitely leave here alive."

Yu Hui looked at her and forced a smile, thinking that this was just Lu An Ning's comfort to her.

Yu Hui found it hard to be optimistic when she thought about when the effects of the medicine in her body would take effect. This feeling was like waiting for death.

The dungeon was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing. The two men hardly moved, one to conserve their energy, and the other to make their wounds heal faster. Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted the silence.

Suddenly, Lu Anning and Yu Hui became alert.
