The car sped through the night; all around the landscape was illuminated by bursts of flames and punctuated by the echo of

distant sobs.

Patrick had single-handedly turned the entirety of Inner Island into a living hell.

Maja leaned into lan's embrace, feeling the rise and fall of his chest, her eyes stinging with unshed tears.

lan held her in silence, his hand gently patting her back in a soothing rhythm.

They reached the spot where Oliver had been waiting for them, and found him standing in the yard, staring into the fiery horizon.

His eyes went wide with shock at the sight of lan.

"Man, | thought you were a goner!"

He rushed forward, and upon seeing that lan was unscathed, he let out a sigh of relief.

lan glanced skyward, and Oliver followed his gaze.

Helicopters were swarming above, but their allegiance was unknown.

"Oliver, get in the car. We're running out of time."

Without hesitation, Oliver swung open the car door and hopped in.

Chaos reigned in Inner Island, and as a result, the road to Outer Island was eerily deserted.

lan floored the accelerator and barreled through all the checkpoints, leaving them in tatters.

When the roadblocks crumbled, those who had longed to venture into Middle Island or Inner Island saw their chance, and swarmed

toward the breach.

The citizens of Outer Island were desperate to get into Middle Island, and those from Middle Island were aimed for Inner Island.

The once empty streets were now teeming with a mass of people rushing inward, as though the apocalypse was nigh.

Oliver, sitting by the window, watched the desperate crowd with a cynical smile.

"It's like a siege, isn't it? Those outside want in, and those inside are dying to get out."

He closed his eyes after speaking.

lan parked at the South District Mental Hospital.

Someone was already there waiting for them and quickly led them inside.

As the door opened, a dozen or so people in white coats were bound and sitting on the floor.

"Mr. Raymond, these are the doctors who tried to flee."

"Where is the person I'm looking for?"

"In the basement."

lan immediately headed down, with Maja still cradled in his arms.

The basement was airtight, a place where long-term residency was sure to take a toll on one's health.

The woman in the room couldn't see or hear; her eyes were wrapped in cloth, and she sat in silence by the bed, with her ankle

chained.

The room had an attached bathroom, and every sharp corner was padded with cloth.

She was dressed in white, and though she was in her fifties, she looked a decade younger.

How could they possibly communicate with a woman who is blind and deaf?

lan had no other choice but to address a person nearby: "Take her with us. Before you guys checked this place, were there any

other suspicious people?"

"The doctors here at the South District Mental Hospital were conducting experiments on the living, but no one knew who the

woman in the basement was. Before we arrived, they didn't even know there was a basement here. The one responsible for

feeding her was a mute."

lan was sure that the woman before him was Cynthia Abbott.

"Take her."

He held Maja and turned to leave.

The lock on Cynthia's ankle couldn't be picked; it had to be broken by force. But as she was being helped out of the basement, she

suddenly collapsed as if struck by a blow.

lan had walked a few steps before realizing no one was following. He turned around, only to find Cynthia and the two guards

sprawling on the floor.

Frowning, he was at a loss as to what had happened.

It was then that Maja spoke, "I heard the sound of electricity leaking."

lan carefully set her down, "I'll go check."

Maja couldn't move at all, so she just blinked her eyes.

But when her gaze fell upon the woman lying on the ground, her heart clenched tight.

Who had locked Cynthia here, robbed her of her sight, and rendered her deaf?

Her heart ached with pain, yet her eyes remained fixed on the fallen trio.

Outside, the sounds of explosions were still heard at intervals; Outer Island was descending into chaos. They were running out of

time.
