However, the tranquility of the morning was abruptly shattered by a piercing scream that tore through the air. It was a sound that sent shivers down Li Wuji's spine, a scream he recognized all too well.

"So, this is what has become of this part of the camp." Ge Dao said to himself, "It has become as pathetic as a refugee site."
