The group temporarily forgot about their mission, gazing in a daze at everything before them.
"Old Bai, Old Bai, Old Bai..."
Two savage-looking men rushed into the sea, waving frantically at the warship with slightly tearful voices.
Tears welled up in Bai Hongwei's eyes, and he laughed and cursed, "Damn, you two are still alive."
After two months of worry, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Wang and Li Mingli leaped and splashed in the sea:
"Old Bai, I knew you would come to save us."
"Old Bai, I've missed you so much! You've come to save us!"
Along with Lin Wang and Li Mingli, there were more than a dozen other people.
Everyone was very excited and jumped into the sea, swimming desperately towards the warship.
The two Bai family superhumans who entered last time are also here.
Not long after they entered, they spotted Lin Wang and Li Mingli's group and sent out a green signal to Bai Hongwei, indicating that there was no danger inside.
The joy didn't last long; they soon discovered that once they were in, they couldn't get out. No matter which direction they went, they always ended up back at the starting point.
Moreover, the signal flares fired are completely invisible from the outside.
Over the next two months, countless attempts to go out all ended in failure, and the speedboat ran out of fuel.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and water on the island, so there is no need to worry about going hungry.
Some people even think that it's fine since there's nothing outside and we can't get out.
Ten days ago, something unexpected happened. Realizing something was wrong, I tried to go out again, but I still couldn't find a way out.
Climbing aboard the warship, Lin Wang and Li Mingli hugged Bai Hongwei and wept bitterly.
"Old Bai, sob sob sob, I thought I'd never see you again."
"Old Bai, am I dreaming? You really came to pick us up?"
"..."
Bai Hongwei was helpless. He was almost 40 years old, and he was crying like this. Didn't he have any shame?
"Old Bai, you don't know, there are blood-sucking vines on the island. They can suck a person dry in the blink of an eye. It's terrifying."
"It's terrifying to watch a person turn into a mere skin. It's so scary, so terrifying, it scared me to death."
"Old Bai, the few people who came in with us were tricked and there's no time to save them."
"Old Bai, something's not right on the island, let's get out of here quickly."
"Oh no, it's easy to get in, but hard to get out. Old Bai, do you know the way out?"
"..."
Lin Wang and Li Mingli were both crying and laughing, and kept talking non-stop.
Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng looked grim.
As soon as they entered, they felt it looked very familiar; it was so similar to the small island they had visited.
Upon hearing the presence of blood-sucking vines, it became clear that, like the small island, it was likely created by a powerful being with extraordinary abilities.
The prime suspect is that elusive, reclusive elder of the Ding family.
"Alright, stop crying, let's get back to work."
The voice sounded familiar. Lin Wang and Li Mingli looked up and exclaimed, "Hmm?" They rubbed their eyes. "Sister Zuo!"
"Sister Zuo, what are you doing here?"
Zuo Ling smiled and said, "I've come to save you."
Lin Wang and Li Mingli were dumbfounded. Was Sister Zuo really that amazing? She even managed to save us!
Upon hearing about the blood-sucking vines, Bai Hongwei's expression darkened; they had guessed correctly!
Zuo Ling pointed to an area along the shore:
“Dig a trench there, 3 meters wide and 2 meters deep, at least 1,500 meters long.”
Bai Hongwei instructed his men to do as instructed.
Pei Nansheng unfolded a piece of paper with a strange pattern drawn on it. The pattern was drawn by him and Zuo Ling from memory.
"We suspect that the entire island is covered with this pattern."
Pointing to the dot with the red circle drawn on it, he said:
"In a bit, Zuo Ling will go mark the points. Our task is to eliminate these circled points..."
Lin Wang and Li Mingli were a little confused. What was Brother Pei talking about?
Did something happen that they don't know about while they were away?
