After lunch, everyone went to their rooms for a short rest to recharge. Just as it was about time to open the dome, Zhang Funan suddenly shouted in alarm, "Everyone, wake up! Come quick, something's happened!"
I sat up in bed, rubbed my eyes, and walked towards the living room. Everyone gradually came out of the room as well. Zhang Funan said anxiously, "Come and see quickly, Zhu Chen and the others are on the pontoon bridge!"
Upon hearing the name Zhu Chen, I immediately perked up and jogged to the terrace. Sure enough, I saw Zhu Chen and his group standing on the floating bridge. Some were sitting on the ground, while others were standing by the bridge. When Zhu Chen saw us come out, he stood with his arms crossed and smiled at us.
Ji Lin'an also came out, and frowned when he saw Zhu Chen: "It seems that they want to wait for the barrier gate to open so that they can trap us in the safe house and catch us like turtles in a jar."
My lips twitched: "Who's the turtle?"
Zhang Funan's anxious face twitched, and he couldn't help but smile: "Whoever said it is whoever it is. Oh well, no time for jokes. What do we do now?"
Ji Lin'an looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly regained his seriousness: "It's better for them to openly block the door than to lie in ambush. At least now we know when to strike."
I nodded: "Yes, since they're blocking the doorway, we'll activate the defense when the barrier opens. They'll definitely attack us immediately and trap us inside."
An Xin said, "We still need to find a way out. If there's no exit, we can't hold out for two hours. We won't even be able to escape."
A sudden inspiration struck me: "I have an idea..."
Zhang Funan leaned closer and asked curiously, "What are your thoughts?"
After thinking for a moment, I said, "Since they are trying to take the initiative in attacking us by surrounding us, then we will let the wolf into the house and take the initiative ourselves."
An Xin asked, "How do you use the occupation method?"
Me: "We can use the power of the Anywhere Door..."
Before I could finish speaking, Zhang Funan interrupted, "There's nowhere to teleport here."
I looked at Zhang Funan with a helpless pursed lips. He immediately shut up and gestured for me to continue. I continued, "It's just a favor, not a use. When the barrier door opens, I'll pretend to have everyone grab me and make a teleportation gesture. At that time, Lao Ji and Song Yi will activate their invisibility shields at the same time. Since they can't see us, they'll think we've escaped using the teleportation portal. They might not believe us and will definitely go into the safe house to check. After activating the invisibility shields, we'll quickly run outside. Once they're all inside, we'll trap them inside."
An Xin laughed and said, "What a brilliant move, truly 'inviting the wolf into the house and catching the turtle in a jar'."
Zhang Funan teased Ji Lin'an with a smile, "Old Ji, I think you've gone mad from being abroad. You're using idioms all over the place. Now you know the real meaning of 'catching a turtle in a jar,' right?"
Ji Lin'an smiled somewhat apologetically: "Yes, yes, this plan is good, but we can't guarantee that everyone will go inside. If only a few people go inside to check, then we will be attacked from both sides."
I considered for a moment and said, "That's possible. We still need to split into groups. How about I, Lao Ji, Zhang, Fu Nan, and Xiao Dian form one group, and Song Yi, Wei Bin, Chen Hu, and An Xin form the other? If they open the shield, Song Yi and Chen Hu, you two can use the fire axe together to break the shield. It's possible that there are shields on both sides, so you two should observe the movements on both sides."
Everyone nodded. Ji Lin'an smiled at me. I glanced at the clock. The barrier gate would open in less than two minutes. I turned to look at Zhu Chen and the others, then turned back: "They might have noticed that we've been plotting for so long. We still need to show some fear so they don't fall for our trap."
After saying that, Zhang Funan was the first to put on a dramatic act, grabbing Ji Lin'an's sleeve as if he was about to cry: "Old Ji, what's wrong, what should we do?"
Song Yi and the others had already silently lined up together, and Zhu Chen and the others had already entered combat mode, prioritizing the activation of the protective shield. The leading man glanced at his watch, raised his hand, and waved in our direction, after which the group walked towards us.
I stretched out my hands to both sides and mouthed clearly but not exaggeratedly, "Everyone hold on tight."
As soon as the barrier opened, I shouted again, "Everyone, hold on tight!"
Kaka frowned first and whispered, "Oh no, it looks like they're going to use the Anywhere Door to escape."
The next second, Ji Lin'an and Song Yi activated their invisibility shields at the same time. We quickly walked towards the door. Zhu Chen and the others were stunned for a few seconds. One of the men took a few steps forward, looked back at the leader, and waited for the leader's instructions. If we guessed correctly, the leader should be Zhang Ziqing. Zhang Ziqing nodded to the man, and the man walked alone into the safe house.
We immediately moved close to the floating bridge. The man activated his ice spike skill and walked into the house. Ji Lin'an and I exchanged a glance and frowned. If he went in alone, our plan would fall through.
Ji Lin'an shook his head at me and waved for us to follow him. We carefully followed the man and entered the safe house together. The man checked everything in the house. When he entered our room, Ji Lin'an used his Wood Water skill and sprayed it on the man. The man instantly collapsed to the ground. Just before he fell, Ji Lin'an held him up to prevent him from making a sound.
Ji Lin'an dragged the man behind the door and beckoned us to come out of the room. We stood at the door and looked outside. A minute passed and Zhu Chen and the others saw that the man had not moved. Another man said a few words, but we couldn't hear what he said because we were too far away. We saw Zhang Ziqing shake his head and activate his clone skill. When his consciousness switched to his clone, he walked into the room.
Ji Lin'an frowned again. Why didn't these people play by the rules...?
After entering the house, Zhang Ziqing quickly scanned the surroundings and went straight into my room. Upon seeing the man lying on the ground, Zhang Ziqing frowned, immediately turned around, scanned the room again, and went forward to check the man's breathing.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Lin'an pulled us outside and whispered at the entrance of the barrier, "Song Yi, you guys break the barrier quickly."
Ji Lin'an warily watched Zhang Ziqing's movements behind him. The next second, Zhu Chen and the others' shield was broken. Ji Lin'an immediately fired at the opposite side. As always, Zhu Chen quickly disappeared from sight. Yuan Rui, the man next to Kaka, jumped towards the safe roof with Kaka. Only Zhang Ziqing's real body and the man who had just spoken remained.
The bullet hit Zhang Ziqing in the shoulder, but the next second, after Zhang Ziqing regained consciousness, he jumped into the water. The man who was speaking activated his invisibility shield after being shot twice.
