Chapter 589: Isolated Island (2)
Chapter 589: Isolated Island (2)
On the other side, Fu Lingchen pushed the food cart through the ward corridor to the elevator at the end, and imitating what others had done before, took the elevator to the basement.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a man and a woman blocked my way. One of them was a member of the other team I had met outside the kitchen earlier. It seemed that the other party had called for help.
Seeing the menacing expressions on their faces, Fu Lingchen felt a chill run down his spine, immediately sensing danger.
Before entering the challenge, the five teams sat around a round table. At that time, everyone had a clear understanding of the cultivation level of each team member. In the eyes of the other four teams, Pei Yun's team was the weakest.
Therefore, none of the four teams that entered this time took Pei Yun's team seriously, and even when they were secretly discussing it, they already regarded Pei Yun's five people as the first team to be eliminated.
After all, there are five teams participating in this challenge. To some extent, the five teams are in competition. What they need to do is not only to perform better and complete the task, but also to eliminate other teams in advance to get rid of their competitors.
So after meeting Fu Lingchen, Guo Cai, the man in front of him, came up with a plan. While delivering food, he encountered Yang Ni, a teammate of his, and immediately called on her to join him in dealing with Fu Lingchen.
Now everyone's spiritual power and divine consciousness have been sealed, and they can only fight with their physical bodies. Guo stepped forward and tried to grab the badge on Fu Lingchen's chest. As long as the badge is removed, the opponent will be eliminated from this round of the challenge.
Fu Lingchen reacted quickly, shoving the food cart in front of him at the person who had attacked him. At the same time, he turned around and threw a punch at the woman who had attacked him from behind.
Although they are not body-refining cultivators, at their level of cultivation, their physical strength has been enhanced, and each punch and palm strike exudes a hidden force.
Yang Ni's palm technique combined softness and strength, and her agile movements moved around Fu Lingchen. She thought she could easily take the badge from him, but she didn't expect that the man's fist technique was also not inferior. He fought her back and forth, and was even slightly faster than her in terms of movement, so that she couldn't even touch his shoulder.
"How is this possible?!" Yang Ni exclaimed in surprise. She had checked the other party's cultivation level at the round table, but how could a Golden Core cultivator be so powerful? She was a late Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, his companion Guo Cai soon came to his aid, and the two of them sandwiched Fu Lingchen in the middle and attacked him.
"Your team actually ganged up on the weak instead of relying on your own abilities to get through the challenges. You're already thinking about eliminating others at the very beginning. It's truly shameful!" Fu Lingchen snorted and mocked.
Upon hearing this, the two men's faces fell, but their attacks did not stop; instead, they became even more ferocious.
While struggling to fend off the attacks, Fu Lingchen observed his surroundings, trying to escape. The corridor was not wide, and not only his food cart was there, but other food carts were also piled up in front of him, blocking his way. It would be difficult for him to avoid the two people in front of him and escape.
Guo Cai became increasingly ruthless. Just as he was about to grab Fu Lingchen by the neck, a man suddenly walked out from a door not far away: "This is the kitchen. Who gave you permission to fight here?"
"You're arguing here and you're not even afraid of spilling your food? Go call security..."
Several people came out of the kitchen not far away and separated Fu Lingchen from the two men.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Fu Lingchen escaped the two men's attack, took a few steps back, and hid behind them, intending to act according to the situation.
Guo and Cai, however, disregarded the fact that this was a trial mission and did not regard the people in the mission as real "people." When they saw the people trying to stop them, they attacked those who tried to mediate without any politeness.
But unexpectedly, these people were exceptionally strong, and their palm techniques and footwork seemed to have no effect on them at all.
After the so-called "security guards" arrived, they easily tied up the two men, rendering them unable to move.
The two were escorted away from the scene by security guards. Before leaving, they stared intently at Fu Lingchen, who was hiding in the crowd.
Fu Lingchen raised an eyebrow, a provocative smile on his face. After the two left, he surveyed the surrounding crowd, lost in thought…
……
In a conference room in another building, He Changxuan had just finished a meeting that lasted more than two hours. He sat at the long conference table, looking at the constantly changing screen in front of him, surrounded by doctors wearing white coats just like him.
"Three days ago, all the major investors moved into the villa area. Whether our Y drug can be successfully marketed and whether the research institute can secure more investment depends on this. By the way, how is the situation in the North Ward?"
"Don't worry, Dean. The people we selected this time were all carefully chosen from Z Garden. They have undergone various physical tests and are in good health. They can start the experiment at any time..."
He Changxuan listened to these people's words in silence, but his mind was racing to organize his thoughts.
At that moment, he seemed to sense someone watching him. He tensed up, turned his head to look at the glass door, and a figure flashed past.
He Changxuan was certain that the other person's figure was not from any of their team, so the only person watching him could be from another team.
He became secretly on guard. Before they came in, their captain, Pei Yun, had warned them that other teams might try to steal their badges and eliminate them.
After the meeting, He Changxuan intended to find his other partners, but several colleagues dragged him to the cafeteria, making it impossible for him to leave...
……
When Zhou Feng woke up after entering the mission, he found himself lying on a soft, large bed. The surrounding environment was unfamiliar, with a style completely different from that of the Haoyu Continent, but everything around him looked very luxurious.
As he was still examining it, something seemed to be vibrating. He then noticed that something on the bedside table was vibrating and its surface was gleaming.
Zhou Feng naturally didn't know it was a "cell phone". He curiously picked up the thin "brick" and examined it for a while. At that moment, he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the door, and a maid respectfully asked, "Mr. Wu, would you like lunch delivered downstairs?"
Zhou Feng's mind raced. He glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window in the room and tentatively said, "I'd like to eat out..."
"Which restaurant would you like to book? I'll make a reservation for you in advance..."
"Anything is fine," Zhou Feng asked calmly. "May I go out?"
"Naturally."
Zhou Feng followed the maid out of the villa...
……
Minglu touched the helmet on her head, then looked down at her strange black uniform. Everything seemed odd, but from her conversation with someone dressed the same way, she knew that she was now a guard, stationed on this isolated island to prevent the people on the island from escaping.
Minglu immediately thought of the name of this trial mission—Escape from the Isolated Island. Now, around this isolated island, there was a guard standing every few meters, and they were equipped with weapons at their waists. However, Minglu did not know how to use them yet, but she soon learned how to use the weapons.
Behind her was a barbed wire fence several meters high, which resembled a giant cage, trapping the people on the isolated island inside. Further away was the vast ocean, with the sound of waves crashing and the howling wind constantly reaching her ears...
At first, Minglu didn't take the "barbed wire" seriously. Although she had lost her spiritual power, how could the "barbed wire" possibly trap them? But she never expected that the "barbed wire" seemed to contain the power of lightning.
She originally wanted to find an opportunity to reunite with her companions. Captain Pei Yun had said that the first thing to do after entering the mission was to find a way to reunite before making further plans.
Unexpectedly, before she could find an opportunity, a person rushed out from the high-rise buildings on the inner perimeter of the island. Minglu noticed the badge on the person's chest and immediately understood the person's identity and purpose.
The participant didn't even glance at her, heading straight for the fence...
"stop!"
"Grab him! Someone's trying to escape!"
Seeing a large number of guards chasing after this person, Minglu thought for a moment and then discreetly followed behind them.
The next moment, one of the guards running in front raised his weapon and fired at the other man. The gunshot startled Minglu, and she instinctively looked at the person who had been attacked.
The man who escaped was no pushover either. At the critical moment of life and death, although he had no spiritual power, he still managed to dodge the bullet with his skillful movements. The bullet only grazed his arm, and a spurt of blood appeared.
The man did not stop or look back. His pace did not slow down at all as he continued to flee towards the edge of the island. But the moment he touched the barbed wire, he seemed to be struck by lightning. He convulsed a few times, then rolled his eyes back and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
Minglu ran forward, staring at the "barbed wire" in front of her with some disbelief, wondering: Could the fence in front of her be a magical artifact or a formation?
Just then, a familiar voice called out from afar: "Minglu!"
Minglu turned around and saw Zhou Feng walking towards her with delight. The servant beside Zhou Feng was still whispering a reminder: "Mr. Wu, there are electric fences everywhere around the island. Please be careful and don't get too close..."
