Chapter 330 The Dangerous Island of Broken Souls
To find out the truth, Xia Yue got out of bed and prepared to go outside to check the situation.
To avoid worrying Shen Xiangxiang, Xia Yue even left a note.
Once outside, Xia Yue quickly discovered that Broken Soul Island was far more backward than she had imagined.
The houses here are almost all one or two stories high, and they are very short.
The streets were very old, not commercialized, and without streetlights. Every household burned firewood and kerosene, and the clothes were also very old.
Fortunately, Xia Yue's clothes were changed by Shen Xiangxiang, otherwise she would easily have become the center of attention among these people.
The people here don't look much different from Chinese people, except that some are darker and some are lighter, with only slight differences in skin color.
Xia Yue wanted to ask passersby for information, but the people on the street were all in a hurry, and she didn't even have a chance to grab someone to ask.
As she walked further and it grew darker and fewer people appeared, Xia Yue realized she had reached the end of the street.
Here, there is a very high wall, at least fifty meters high.
The walls are smooth, and the top has a professional anti-theft design to prevent people from climbing up.
Xia Yue walked along the wall for a while. Two soldiers who looked like they were on patrol walked up to her and warned, "You lowly people on the outer layer have no right to covet what's inside. Get out!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue immediately grasped the key point.
It turns out that the place she lived in was on the outer layer, and she wasn't allowed to enter the inner part of the wall.
Judging from the more than 50-meter-high wall and the uniforms of the patrolling soldiers, there should be some modern equipment inside.
If she wants to find someone, she might have to infiltrate the area first.
Xia Yue was thinking about a solution in her mind.
The patrolling soldiers, already impatient, pointed their weapons at Xia Yue, shouting, "You lowly commoner, if you don't leave, we'll lock you in the dungeon!"
Xia Yue adopted a flexible and adaptable attitude. She was currently unarmed and, moreover, unfamiliar with the area.
Wandering around aimlessly won't yield any results, so I'll wait for Shen Xiangxiang and the others to return before making any decisions.
Xia Yue wisely left.
When Xia Yue returned the way she came, she found that there were fewer and fewer people on the street, and the road was very dark. She could only see the road on the ground by the moonlight.
As she approached her previous residence, she heard the noise of a crowd again.
Xia Yue could only slow down and sneak back.
Then, she saw that Shen Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi had actually been arrested!
The soldiers who arrested them were dressed in similar uniforms to those on the other side of the high wall!
"Those who come from outside Treasure Island are even lower than commoners; arrest them all and drown them at sea!"
"You guys know how to hide! You actually hid here. If I hadn't been secretly following you from the clinic, I wouldn't have been able to find your hideout!"
"There are several outsiders around here. Arrest them all!"
The soldiers were loud, armed, and intimidating.
Shen Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi were tied up and their mouths were gagged, so they couldn't speak. It was clear that they were in great pain.
Xia Yue felt guilty seeing her friend suffer such trouble.
She dragged her friends into this mess. If Shen Xiangxiang hadn't gone to get her medicine, they might not have been discovered.
Xia Yue wanted to rush in to save her friend, but she held back in the end.
She is currently outnumbered and powerless; even if she rushes in, she can't do anything and will only cause trouble for her friends.
She must remain calm, think things through slowly, and understand the situation before attempting to save people!
And so, Xia Yue secretly followed from behind.
They watched as the soldiers captured Shen Xiangxiang and the others and walked to the vicinity of the high wall.
There was a small door at the foot of the high wall, and the soldier led his men inside.
Xia Yue couldn't follow any longer, otherwise her identity would be exposed, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
After the small door closed and the soldiers left, Xia Yue emerged from the shadows.
"Damn it!" Xia Yue cursed under her breath.
Xia Yue felt very guilty for causing such a big problem to her friends so soon after arriving at Broken Soul Island.
Just then, a faint voice came, "You're finally awake."
Xia Yue was stunned when she heard this, and then turned around abruptly.
She saw a familiar figure; it was the girl from the Witch Kingdom, Qu Wanwan, her brother's rumored girlfriend.
However, this time Qu Wanwan did not wear those complicated and heavy silver ornaments, but only wore a simple black and red Miao ethnic costume and a simple silver bracelet.
"It's you!" Xia Yue exclaimed in surprise.
Qu Wanwan glanced around before speaking, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
Since things had come to this, Xia Yue had no choice but to go with them.
After all, she still doesn't understand the current situation.
The two walked around in a winding path for nearly an hour, finally stopping behind a treehouse that was so remote it couldn't be more secluded.
Even so, Qu Wanwan still looked around warily, and then sprinkled some red powder on the ground.
Xia Yue was an expert in medicine and could tell at a glance that it was powder made from the corpses of dead poisonous insects, which could repel insects and wild animals.
Xia Yue followed Qu Wanwan into the treehouse. The house was very dark, without even a kerosene lamp. Instead, they used a bag of fireflies to provide some light.
"Sit down." Qu Wanwan brought Xia Yue a chair made of tree branches, which was quite sturdy.
She herself sat casually on the ground.
Xia Yue remained standing, not daring to sit down.
After all, she's pregnant now, and the chair might not be able to withstand her weight.
Xia Yue had many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't know how to answer them at the moment, so she chose the most important one to ask: "Why did those people capture Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi?"
"Not only should they be arrested, but we should also be arrested, because we are outsiders. This is Broken Soul Island, which the locals call Treasure Island."
To them, we outsiders are just here to steal treasure, and we should all be eliminated.
When Qu Wanwan said this, her tone was restrained, as if she was suppressing something.
Xia Yue frowned slightly, guessing that it was probably the work of the Drug organization again.
They stirred up trouble on the island, plundering various resources, and were thus despised.
That's why they were harassed when they arrived on the island, subjected to both artillery fire and toll collection.
"And what about that high wall?" Xia Yue continued to press.
"Soul Island is also divided into classes. We are outside the circle and belong to the lowest end of Soul Island. We make up about 20% of the people on Soul Island and are the most unpopular group."
Many people from outside the island cannot survive there and eventually flee to the outside world.
Inside the high walls is the Encirclement, where about 70% of the population lives.
The most crucial area is within the circle, where about ten percent of the population lives. The most important KN element of Broken Soul Island is also hidden there.
Qu Wanwan knew everything about Broken Soul Island and told Xia Yue everything she knew.
Xia Yue guessed that her master and Qin Yeting were probably inside the high walls.
Regardless of Soul-Severing Island's attitude towards outsiders, she was determined to go in, find them, and reunite with them!
She also needs to find a way to save Shen Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi!
