Du Jun and Cheng Shuang encountered the same danger, but Si Hai, Liu Juan and others had a much smoother time.

The lake, shimmering with a beautiful pale green hue under the sunlight, is a microcosm of the city in the distance. It resembles a park in the real world, but without the noise and crowds of tourists, and is so quiet it seems otherworldly.

No one could have imagined that the tiny island in the middle of the lake was actually a trap. As the flip panel moved up and down, Liu Juan and the others appeared there along with several pieces of fish encased in ice.

The three from Sihai had already left the center of the lake and arrived at the shore. Liu Juan and her group were a step behind, but crossing the lake was not difficult. The center of the lake was lush with trees, and even someone who couldn't swim could safely cross the lake by simply chopping down a couple of logs. Besides, the lake wasn't the sea, and the opposite shore could be seen from afar.

Each of them used their unique abilities to reach the shore.

Liu Juan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but Sun Han pulled her up. While drying her fishtail with a dry towel, she asked Sun Han, "Where's Youyou? And her little brother?"

Sun Han shook his head solemnly, and Si Hai sighed, "We were in contact just over ten minutes ago, but then we lost all contact!"

Liu Juan's hand stopped abruptly. She looked up in disbelief and demanded, "With so many of you, how could you let Youyou be separated from you?"

"What a coincidence!" Sun Han frowned.

Because Liu Juan was asking about Sihai, Siyue was a little unhappy, thinking that she was blaming her brother.

April said calmly, "Kids that age have a lot of ideas. We try our best to cooperate with them, but we never expected things to fall apart so suddenly. Instead of assigning blame, let's find someone to hold accountable!"

Liu Juan pursed her lips, glanced at 'Feng Jiakang,' who looked completely relaxed since escaping his predicament, and Du Lushui, who had been chatting away with her brother after their meeting, and let out a barely perceptible sigh.

So far, no crisis has occurred in this death zone, which is both a good and a bad thing. If we continue to be careless, how could these amnesiac companions possibly cope if an accident were to suddenly occur?

Moreover, she was certain that some of them still harbored doubts about what she and Shuangshuang had said.

That's just human nature...

Liu Juan's situation remains unknown, and her appearance is one of the reasons why some of her companions are hesitant to let their guard down. While Du Jun and Si Hai, who are both highly mentally strong, have already vaguely recalled some past events in Cheng Shuang's group, and Du Lanshan has also developed a certain level of trust and affection for Cheng Shuang under the guidance of instinct, Liu Juan's group has not made any progress for the time being due to a lack of unity.

"How do I find her?" Liu Juan didn't want to argue with someone who had lost their memory. She anxiously looked around and saw rows of low buildings in the distance, creating a modern atmosphere. She didn't see any forests or waterfalls nearby, which made her even more worried.

Her expression was genuine, which made April feel a pang of regret. She was actually quite worried too, about such a young child…

Liao Yuewei, who had been silent since losing her memory, suddenly spoke up, "I suggest we split up and go into the city to find out which attractions have forests and waterfalls nearby. If all goes well, we can meet at the lake tonight."

Everyone nodded in agreement; there was no other way now. Only Liu Juan rubbed her temples. She knew she shouldn't have been so pessimistic, but this was the Death Realm, not human territory. If they went in openly, they wouldn't be able to gather any information; they'd be caught red-handed the moment they showed themselves.

Moreover, based on experience, places like the waterfall forest that Cheng Shuang encountered in the center of the lake are very likely important places for wanderers, places that cannot be easily explored.

She had no choice but to speak up, saying, "You're taking it too lightly."

Liao Yuewei was naturally a gentle person. She simply blinked and asked Liu Juan with a smile, "Do you have any other good ideas?"

Liu Juan asked with a serious expression, "Are you sure this is human territory?"

Du Lushui suddenly realized, "That's right! Youyou said that aliens abducted us. What if this is the aliens' lair!"

Cheng Shuang: No, I didn't, I never said that!

The group then became cautious again.

"How about we wait until dark and sneak into the city?" Feng Jiakang suggested.

Liu Juan: "Let's leave this lake first; it's really not safe here."

"I think we should find a place to hide." Si Hai looked around and saw that the lake was surrounded by neatly arranged trees with vibrant red maple leaves.

Under the maple tree, there is a shady path. The path is not naturally formed, but a smooth road paved with asphalt, about two meters wide.

He pointed there and said, "The obvious signs of human intervention, and the processed fish pieces in the center of the lake, all indicate that someone will come here soon."

"You mean, go with them?" Liu Juan asked.

Sihai nodded. "Let's quietly follow them and find out the situation first."

Sun Han strongly agreed, “The place we’re trapped in is obviously an alien food depot. When the creatures inside die, they are automatically transported and disposed of. This road looks brand new, but there are few fallen leaves on it, so it must not have been used by many people, yet someone cleans it regularly.”

He spoke the word "aliens" with great reluctance, suggesting he harbored doubts about their existence. Although the existence of spatial grids and skills was undeniably impressive, it didn't mean he would accept the alien theory. Surely aliens couldn't have conducted experiments to grant them these abilities?

What would aliens want? Would they fatten them up and then escape?

So subconsciously, he still felt that everything was human behavior, such as the underground dark laboratory that modified them, and that they couldn't bear to see the light, which is why they were trapped in a place where they couldn't escape, especially the city in front of him, where there was no sign of alien civilization at all.

Du Lushu was horrified. "If they see those broken shards of glass, won't they realize we've escaped and start hunting us down the whole city?"

"We can only hope that this is a complete processing system. From nurturing, processing, cleaning to assembly, we haven't seen anyone involved in any of the steps before, and perhaps we won't alert anyone in the future." Sun Han pushed up his glasses, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his gentle eyes. "If we operate it well, we might be able to sneak in."

"Let's take a gamble!" Du Lanshan clenched his fist, making up his mind. "At worst, we'll be discovered, and we'll fight our way out."

Liu Juan turned her head away, both amused and exasperated. If only she could actually punch him!

Fortunately, the two intelligent companions, though suffering from amnesia, did not lose their minds. Hiding, following, and even sneaking among the homeless was clearly the best way to gather information.

After agreeing on their plan, the group once again used the cards to conceal themselves.

Those without cards climbed trees, and those digging holes dug holes.

Liu Juan wanted to hide in the lake, but Liao Yuewei noticed in time that her fish tail was slowly turning flesh-colored, revealing the shape of her legs.

Liao Yuewei thought of most mermaid novels in movies, "Maybe if they leave a certain environment or dry out completely, their tails will turn into legs, giving them the ability to go ashore."

Seeing this, Liu Juan tossed out a card with a bitter face, endured the pain in her fishtail, and stood upright by the roadside like a maple tree.
