Listening to the woman's answer, Yao Ran thought for a moment before asking, "Can any of you still use your abilities?"
Everyone in the dark room shook their heads at the same time.
After receiving their answer, Yao Ran said, "I will give you food and water, but you must stay silent."
The ability users' expressions lit up at her words, and they nodded in agreement. Since they were willing to cooperate, Yao Ran took out meal boxes and diluted lake water from her space.
Seeing this, the man said, "No wonder they didn't bother drugging you. Even though you have spatial and water element abilities, both are auxiliary abilities. I bet they didn't even treat you as an ability user."
Hearing that, Yao Ran simply smiled and said nothing. After distributing the food and diluted lake water, she moved to a corner and contacted Long Yu and the others.
"It's me, Yao Ran. There are more than twenty ability users locked here with me."
A second later, Long Yu's voice came through. "Ran Ran, are you alright?"
Hearing Long Yu's voice, Yao Ran felt reassured. She smiled and replied in a low voice, "I'm fine. I heard they plan to transport everyone away tonight."
"Since there are over twenty ability users here, how about we replace them with our people? That way, we can not only rescue the prisoners but also infiltrate the enemy's headquarters with more people."
After she said this, Jiang Chen's voice came through.
"That's a good idea. My team will replace the ability users, and Brother Shi can teleport them back to headquarters for treatment. With my team protecting the Eldest Young Lady, she will be safer, and we can have more people if we need to fight."
Long Yu thought about it and agreed. "Alright. Once Ran Ran informs the ability users, Shi Xuan will teleport them to The Origin's headquarters."
"Alright. I will contact you guys again when the ability users are ready." Yao Ran said before ending the communication.
After saying that, Yao Ran turned to look at the ability users. Seeing that they had finished eating, she walked up to the man who had spoken to her earlier and asked, "Do you all want to leave this place?"
As soon as she asked this, everyone turned to look at her at the same time.
After a moment of surprise, a young woman hesitantly asked, "Sister, do you have a way to get us out of here?"
Yao Ran nodded, sat down in an empty spot, and explained, "If you all agree, my friend will come later and take you out of here. However, you must not let anyone know that you have escaped with our help."
"Why?" another woman asked.
Yao Ran replied, "The reason I let them kidnap me was that my friend and I want to find their headquarters. After we rescue you, my friends will take your place and pretend to be prisoners."
When she said this, everyone understood her plan and quickly agreed.
The man then said, "As long as I can leave this place, I will do as you say."
"Good." Yao Ran stood up and instructed, "I will contact my friends and coordinate with them. Can you all stay silent and alert me if the guards come?"
One of the men stepped forward and volunteered. "I will keep watch for you."
"Thank you."
