Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

"There's fighting over there." Mule heard the dense gunfire coming from very close by.

He peeked out and looked into the room from which the gunshot had come, pondering the Tide Prison map he had once seen online.

"The laundry room?" Mule recalled that the entrance to that place was narrow and difficult to enter.

They were already exchanging fire, and just as he was about to get closer, he saw a figure on the other side running hurriedly out, and their eyes met.

The mule was unarmed, while the other party had a Bison submachine gun but showed no intention of firing it.

The man ran up to the mule and said, "Don't just stand there, run! The prison guards are coming."

"What's going on over there?"

"I don't know. A whole bunch of prison guards rushed into the laundry room. Luckily, I came out a little early and wasn't surrounded by them. I had to go around to get here."

Mule stared at the other person's face, then suddenly remembered something. "Weren't you teamed up with that Hibiscus Club operator? Why are you alone?"

"Damn it! Don't even mention it!" the man cursed. "That guy named Park Im-cheong shot and killed one of his team members. I couldn't stand it and had to break ties with him, so I ran away beforehand."

"They should be surrounded by those prison guards in the laundry room by now."

Upon hearing this, Mule's eyes widened. He had originally thought that the small group of people would become the biggest threat to him and the other lone warriors.

Unexpectedly, things had turned out this way within their ranks. One person was personally killed by Park Im-cheong, and another escaped.

Mule thought to himself that it wouldn't be easy for these few people to resist the prison guards.

Now that he knew the situation there, Mule stopped investigating and focused on saving his own life.

The two immediately moved away from the area. During their run, the man gave the mule a vivid account of how Park Im-cheong killed his own teammate.

The mule was also enraged upon hearing this, exclaiming, "This man is truly a beast who has children but no one to care for them!"

"Who says otherwise!" the man said indignantly. "Even so, the other two defended him, saying it was his own problem and not Park Im-cheong's fault."

"That's disgusting! So I ran away as fast as I could, otherwise I might be the next one he kills."

The mule patted him on the shoulder in sympathy. By this time, the two of them could no longer hear the noisy gunfire from the other side and were temporarily out of danger.

"Since the Tide Prison didn't have the map boss Warden this time, and most of the guards are concentrated in the laundry room, why don't we go to the core administrative area and loot it properly to help you make back the 10 you lost, with interest?"

These words struck a chord with the individual, who had already suffered a huge loss of 10 yuan and was being pressured by Park Im-cheong to collect supplies.

Now I finally have the chance, and I even have someone with me.

Although this person didn't even bring a gun, he seemed to be quite familiar with the terrain.

"Alright! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Let's go!"

……

Meanwhile, Park Im-cheong used the time gained by the two men firing their guns to escape from the laundry room.

Without turning his head, he ran non-stop towards the distance of the unloading area. "Thanks to those two lucky fools, otherwise I really wouldn't know how I would have gotten away."

A chilling smile crept across his lips again as he muttered to himself, "The protagonist, I really am the protagonist! Even the heavens are on my side! Hahahaha!"

"What exactly happened?" Park Im-cheong recalled the scene in the laundry room just now.

Just as he was about to fire, someone threw a smoke grenade at him. Then, all those prison guards went to the laundry room – this was unheard of.

And it's too much of a coincidence.

This was a bit strange. He didn't want to waste any more time, so he planned to swim directly from the lookout area to the delayed evacuation point and leave as soon as possible.

In particular, his current level 5 set is not his own; he took it from the Hibiscus Club's warehouse.

If we go further into the prison, and A is too badly injured, he might not be able to explain himself when he gets back.

I've already earned 50, that's enough!

Besides, there are some supply points along the water. He could easily make a profit by eating a couple of bites, since he essentially got something for nothing.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, walked to the water's edge, plunged into the water, and slowly swam toward the circular platform in the middle of the water.

When he swam to the widest part of the water, he surfaced and looked up to breathe, and saw several bright light bulbs on the opposite mountain.

Why are searchlights on the mountain in broad daylight?

Then a whooshing sound whistled past his ears as it shot into the water, creating a row of bubbles.

"!!!" He then realized that those shiny things were not light bulbs, but the reflections from the sniper scopes of the snipers in the prison.

Bang! Another bullet hit his bulletproof helmet, sending his head flying backward, almost slamming into the water.

The level 5 bulletproof helmet was almost shattered by that single shot!

"Level 5 bullet!" Park Im-cheong reacted instantly.

He immediately plunged into the water, diving to the bottom, trying to use the water as a barrier.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, bubbles shot through the water and into the bottom, swirling around him.

He dared not surface for a moment, using all his strength to swim almost touching the bottom of the pond.

"A sniper? Why would a sniper be here?"

This is what puzzles him the most: a row of snipers on such a wide expanse of water is a real danger!

But he had never thought of it, nor had he ever seen it.

In previous live streams, the snipers were always in the elevator shaft!

Why are you here today? Is it because the warden wasn't defeated that the prison guards' tactics have changed so much?

Park Im-cheong gritted his teeth, not daring to rise even a little, and quickly turned back to retreat in the direction he had come from.

Fortunately, he was far from the sniper and had not yet entered the encirclement, thus avoiding being riddled with bullets.

Even so, he had abrasions in many places where his body was not covered by armor.

"Damn it!" Park Im-cheong cursed, "You forced me to pull the plug and evacuate!"

"Just shut down the power. There's no warden around anyway, so what am I afraid of?"

Finally out of the snipers' sight, he slunk out of the water and onto the shore, cursing under his breath.

"Perfect! I'm not leaving from here! I want to see what the warden's office is like!"

He quickly bandaged his wound, took a painkiller, and immediately headed towards the core area.

"Report, Your Excellency Warden. The target with the blue armbands and Level 5 protection has been brought back into the prison from the water."

"Yes! I only fired one shot to the head; I didn't dare fire any more!"

"So, all other operators who want to use the water-based delayed evacuation point are allowed to pass?"

"Yes, sir!"
