In the damp room, Li Yidao gradually drifted into a deep slumber.
Several days had passed since the initiation of the battle, and the initial expenditure of ten thousand lifespans had taken its toll on him.
Li Yidao hadn’t been able to recover properly.
If it weren’t for Sister Zhou’s acupuncture therapy, he might have already entered a state of extreme weakness.
Even with Sister Zhou’s treatment, his mental exhaustion required time for recuperation.
Sleep proved to be the most effective means of recovery.
After ensuring the old man’s safety and assigning Yang Qingyue the responsibility of vigilant guard duty, Li Yidao found a room and succumbed to a profound sleep.
While he was in his deep slumber, Sister Zhou administered a few acupuncture needles, ensuring a more peaceful sleep for him.
In this manner, Li Yidao entered the realm of a restful slumber.
Meanwhile, the person from Yun City who had just received Li Yidao and the others had returned to the East Camp.
In contrast to the West Camp, the East Camp was more modernized.
While the West Camp did not reject modern elements, it aimed to maintain a traditional appearance.
The East Camp, however, embraced a futuristic style.
At this moment, a man was in a circular conference room.
Besides him, there were five others—three elderly individuals and two in their forties or fifties.
The leading figure among them softly inquired, “Are you sure he is injured, and the injuries are severe?”
The “he” they referred to was undoubtedly the old man.
The reason for their particular attitude was quite evident.
The difference between the East Camp and the West Camp was apparent.
When the West Camp’s residents heard about the old man’s injury, their concern was genuine and instinctive.
However, the people in the East Camp raised many questions.
“I’m sure he is indeed severely injured and very weak,” the man replied.
“Why didn’t you bring him to our East Camp? You know what would happen if we brought him here and applied some methods,” a senior rebuked him before he could finish.
It was clear that the person was dissatisfied with not being able to bring the old man to the East Camp this time.
The man sighed, “I originally intended to bring him to our East Camp, but… I don’t know if he sensed something or if he insisted on going to the West Camp. Many people from the West Camp were present at the time. Besides, he brought a few people with him, two women and a man.”
“Two women are fine; I can sense their strength, and dealing with them won’t be a problem. But that young man… the situation is not as favorable. I can’t feel his aura at all, and he gives me a sense of profound dread. It’s a genuine, soul-chilling fear! ”
As the man spoke, a palpable sense of trepidation flashed in his eyes.
Witnessing this, the elderly individuals fell silent.
They were well aware of this man’s capabilities—capable of inducing fear even in him.
This person was undoubtedly extraordinary.
But thinking about it, since he could stay by Elder Fu’s side, his abilities were naturally formidable.
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room fell into silence. After an unknown period, finally, an elderly man, the one seated at the head, interrupted the silence.
“Regardless, our East Camp had to progress.”
“And this time, we had an opportunity. As long as we could obtain the secret location from Elder Fu, we could enter and acquire more resources and the necessary technology.”
“At that time, our East Camp could establish its own standing! This had been the effort of everyone in our East Camp for who knows how long! ”
“So, this was an opportunity we absolutely couldn’t let slip away!”
“Arrange for people to enter the West Camp. Meanwhile, our spies in the West
Camp could also play their roles.”
“In short… we had to seize this opportunity! ”
After the leader’s voice fell, everyone in the room wore a serious expression.
They understood the implications of the leader’s words!
It meant that they were really going to take action, perhaps with a disregard for consequences!
Exhaling a long breath, the group fell silent. They didn’t speak further, just nodded at each other, and then went about their respective arrangements.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
When Li Yidao woke up, it was already after eight in the morning on the second day.
He had slept comfortably, and his mental strength had recovered quite a bit.
Just as he opened his eyes, he saw a figure looking at him.
He suddenly snapped to attention!
Almost jumped out of bed, but upon closer inspection, wasn’t this Sister Zhou?
However…
Why was Sister Zhou wearing this outfit?
Not to mention, it looked good on her.
“Awake? Don’t move for now; I’ll help you remove the needles first,” Sister Zhou said as she swiftly pulled out several silver needles from Yang Feng’s head and put them into a needle pouch.
At the same time, Sister Zhou spoke, “The old man is awake. He said for you to quietly come over. Now that he’s awake, only a few of us know about it.” “I saw that you’ve been sleeping for a long time, so I used some means to wake you up.”
Li Yidao also recovered from the initial shock.
Then nodded gently.
He knew that Sister Zhou had ways to make people sleep and, naturally, ways to wake them up.
After all, acupuncture was really something special.
No one knew how acupuncture would turn out, and often, it would bring some surprises.
Li Yidao slowly got up, moving his body gently, and asked, “When did the old man wake up?”
“He woke up a little after five in the morning. But he specifically asked me to call you. Knowing that you were asleep and aware of your condition, he told me to let you sleep a bit longer.” Li Yidao nodded gently.
He had no hesitation.
If the old man was in a hurry, there must be something important.
As for what it was, he would find out when he went over to ask.
After all, the old man was right there.
He pushed open the door and walked out.
When he arrived at the old man’s room.
He saw the old man sitting comfortably on the sofa, sipping tea. This state didn’t look like someone who was injured at all….
