Xu Huo figured the Special Defense Department wouldn't let him set foot on the island either, so he told Song Xiaohua, "See you on the island," and got off the plane first.
Over the sea, he used "Go to Destination" several times, avoiding the patrol boats and Players while carefully observing the island's barrier.

Xu Huo didn't hurry to enter. Instead, he randomly chose a boat and boarded it. After using his mental powers to interfere with the people aboard, he obtained firsthand information from the Special Defense Department.
According to the information, the Special Defense Department had identified five entrances that didn't require an item to access the island. Elsewhere, neither boats nor people could pass freely through the barrier. Moreover, forcefully attacking it would cause its boundary to expand outward.
