    Chapter 86: Successful Infiltration

    Facing Jiang Xianchuan’s doubtful and puzzled gaze, Shi Yi took a deep breath and explained methodically, “Just now, on the way to our destination, we unexpectedly ran into that group of lunatics fighting over abilities. We fought with them, and with great difficulty, we pried some key information from their mouths. It turns out that Bai Su and Yi Yuzhi have unfortunately fallen into the hands of their accomplices and have been taken to their headquarters. After learning this, we originally wanted to rescue them. However, unexpectedly, they had already set up many traps, waiting for us to jump in. As a result, not only did we fail to rescue our companions, but we also fell into a predicament ourselves and were trapped on this bridge. Fortunately, when all roads seem closed, we happened to run into you who came to support us.”

    After listening to Shi Yi’s truthful account, Jiang Xianchuan nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood the ins and outs of the matter. Immediately afterward, he said with a solemn expression, “It’s a coincidence, I also encountered ability snatchers on the way to find you. Moreover, I feel that they seem to know everyone’s abilities like the back of their hand. In this case, the situation of Bai Su and Yi Yuzhi must be extremely critical. Therefore, without further delay, we must seize every second to take action.”

    Having said that, everyone sat together and began to discuss the specific battle plan nervously and methodically. After careful consideration, the final plan was finalized as follows: “Lin Pianyue, you take Tian Tian and find a safe place to hide first. As for Li Lingyu and I, we are responsible for quietly infiltrating the enemy’s lair to find out the situation and seize the opportunity to carry out rescue operations. Shi Yi, you stay outside and be ready to respond to us at any time in case of any unexpected situation. And Qi Xiaoyao, it’s up to you to find ways to attract the enemy’s attention, so as to create a gap for Li Lingyu and I to successfully infiltrate.” As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present nodded without hesitation and replied, “Okay!”

    Afterward, Jiang Xianchuan signaled Shi Yi to take the lead in the front. Shi Yi nodded slightly, and before long, they arrived in front of a somewhat eerie-looking hospital.

    Jiang Xianchuan lowered his voice and said to everyone, “We’ll start taking action when it’s completely dark.” So, several people quietly crouched in the bushes not far away, their eyes fixed on the abandoned hospital, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

    Time seemed to freeze, and every minute and every second passed slowly. Finally, the night fell like a huge black curtain, enveloping the entire world.

    “Let’s move!” Jiang Xianchuan issued the order in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xiaoyao quickly raised his hand and fired several pieces of ice toward the distance. These pieces of ice, as if possessing life, flew rapidly through the air for a distance, and then instantly merged with each other, building a towering and solid ice wall.

    The personnel patrolling inside the hospital were stunned by this sudden change. After a moment, they came back to their senses, immediately sounded the alarm, and shouted loudly, “Alert! Alert! There is an enemy invasion!” For a time, the piercing sound of the siren echoed continuously in the sky above the hospital, and the originally quiet hospital suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere.

    Hearing the alarm sound, Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu exchanged glances. They understood each other, and their figures flashed, heading towards the back of the hospital.

    At the same time, Qi Xiaoyao saw the guards in the hospital rushing towards the gate. He snorted coldly and danced his hands again, increasing the output of ice. In an instant, more ice flew out of his hands and towards the inside of the hospital. Where the ice passed, a thick layer of frost condensed on the ground, and some guards who couldn’t dodge in time were frozen and shivering.

    When he saw everyone gathered together like a tide, Qi Xiaoyao knew that the time was right. He instantly withdrew the hand he had just extended, and under the cover of the dark night, he quietly turned and left.

    Just then, Shi Yi, who had been waiting not far away to respond, quickly greeted him. Qi Xiaoyao looked tired, and his steps were a little weak. Shi Yi’s heart tightened, and she quickly asked with concern, “How is it? Did everything go smoothly?” Qi Xiaoyao nodded slightly, panting, and replied, “They should have gone in.”

    Hearing this news, Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then gently helped Qi Xiaoyao to walk to a large tree and let him sit down slowly.

    “Rest here for a while. Leave the rest to me. I will continue to keep an eye on the situation there.” After speaking, Shi Yi turned and threw herself into the tense mission again.

    At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu had also successfully infiltrated the hospital without anyone noticing. Looking at the noisy crowd outside the window, Jiang Xianchuan lowered his voice and said to Li Lingyu beside him, “Lingyu, let’s split up.”

    Li Lingyu did not hesitate at all and nodded decisively in response. Then, the two of them, like two flashes of lightning, rushed towards different directions.

    Jiang Xianchuan was apprehensive all the way, and every step he took was particularly cautious. He concentrated on relying on his keen intuition to cleverly avoid waves of patrolling personnel and hidden surveillance cameras.

    Before long, he finally arrived in front of a ward located deep in the hospital. He gently approached the door and peered inside through the small glass on the door. In an instant, a familiar figure came into view. The person lying quietly on the bed was actually Yi Yuzhi!

    Just as Jiang Xianchuan was about to step into the ward, his keen perception suddenly captured a surging and extremely powerful aura rushing towards him at an alarming speed from behind.

    His heart tightened, and he turned around abruptly. A pair of deep and alert eyes instantly locked onto the black shadow in the distance that gradually became clear.

    “Who?” Jiang Xianchuan shouted sharply, his voice filled with undisguised vigilance and alertness.

    “Brother, it’s me.” As the black shadow slowly approached, a familiar voice entered Jiang Xianchuan’s ears.

    By the faint light, Jiang Xianchuan finally saw the face of the person who came. It was Qi An! Seeing Qi An safe and sound, Jiang Xianchuan’s hanging heart settled slightly, but he still couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Qi An? Are you injured?”

    Qi An shook his head gently and replied in a low voice, “I’m fine.”

    After confirming that Qi An was safe, Jiang Xianchuan completely relaxed. He walked quickly to the bedside, reached out and gently shook Yi Yuzhi’s arm, and called out softly, “Yi Yuzhi, Yi Yuzhi! Wake up…” However, no matter how hard he tried, Yi Yuzhi on the bed seemed to be sleeping soundly, with no sign of waking up.

    Jiang Xianchuan frowned tightly, knowing that he couldn’t delay any longer. After thinking for a moment, he decisively used his unique ability to carefully put the unconscious Yi Yuzhi into his space. After doing all this, Jiang Xianchuan turned to look at Qi An beside him and asked anxiously, “Qi An, can you sense where Bai Su is?”

    Qi An nodded slightly, indicating affirmation, and then said without hesitation, “Brother, follow me.” After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the door.

    Jiang Xianchuan followed closely behind. The two of them hurried along and soon came to the hospital’s underground garage. Surprisingly, the originally spacious garage had been transformed into a gloomy and terrifying huge cage, surrounded by rusty iron bars and heavy chains.

    Just as they were searching for Bai Su’s figure, suddenly, a clear and mocking female voice came leisurely from not far away, “Hmph, as expected, you are really bold!”
