Chapter 929 “Were there any obstacles along the way?” Zane asked Carl cautiously.
Carl recalled. “No, there wasn’t even a car on the road to Roca Este.”
Zane heard that and let out a long sigh.
“What’s wrong, Zane?” Nicole asked, looking at his troubled face.
“I’m afraid that someone let you in on purpose,” Zane told of his suspicion. “Could it be that someone is watching
the island, and that is why you haven’t been able to get out?” Nicole ventured a guess.
Zane nodded his head. After he was wounded , he could not fight like he did before. He had tried to fight his way
out a few times with his men, but they were forced back. Those men sent to him by his friends also died and were
wounded.
Nicole gasped. There was more to the opponent than met the eye this time, and it seemed there was a tough battle

“Zane, why don’t you let me take a look at your arm first? “Nicole was worried about Zane’s injury.
“Okay.” Zane knew Nicole had superior medical skills. Conditions were limited, and he had only treated the wound
briefly before this.
Nicole took out a portable medical kit and came to Zane’s side. The white bandage was removed, and gradually the
bloody bandage , too. This was not the first time Nicole had seen such a thing. Her action was deft and swift as she
continued to remove the bandage. Soon a bloody wound caused by shrapnel came into view. It pained Nicole to see
such a condition. “Zane, the shrapnel needs to be taken out right away, but I only have one shot of anesthetic. It
might hurt a little when I go deep inside later, so bear with it.”
Zane looked at Nicole and nodded with a smile. “I have had worse. This pain is nothing. You don’t have to worry
about me. Just go ahead and do it.”
Nicole looked at him and nodded solemnly, then picked up the instrument and started to take out the shrapnel. The
shrapnel in the dermis was quite easy to remove, and Zane did not feel a thing. He pursed his mouth and did not
make a sound as Nicole inserted the instrument deeper into the muscle tissue.
“It is all taken out.” Nicole placed the last piece of shrapnel on the table, then applied a special medicine and
bandaged his wound up. “Great skill, Nicole. I feel much better now.” After the
shrapnel was removed, the wounded arm felt much better.
Nicole knew Zane did not want her to worry about him. She just looked at him for a while, saying nothing more.
“Zane, is the only exit in the whole of Roca Este the one we came in through?” Nicole asked.
–
“Yes, I have been looking almost the entire island and haven’t found a second land exit, unless-”
“Unless what?” Nicole asked.

“The sea route,” Nicole murmured, deep in thought.

“Maybe I can call in some boats.” Nicole looked at them with a light in her eyes.
Zane could not believe his ears.
“I contacted Rowan before I came here. Maybe his people can get me some boats.” Nicole looked at Zane.
Zane thought for a long time and then looked at Nicole.” We need to prepare first. Choose a place outside the
enemy’s surveillance range as a picking up point.”
“Okay, Carl and I will go out and look for it.”
“This is a sketch I made earlier with some crucial locations marked on it. You guys might need it.” Zane handed it to
Nicole.
Nicole took out her phone to snap photos and synced them to her smart device. “Zane, you be careful here.” “Carl,
let’s go.” Nicole and Carl went out with their weapons.
Following Zane’s sketch of the island, Nicole and Carl found a spot on the beach in Roca Este. This was the backside
of Roca Este, furthest from the city.
