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

"This is Lao Zhou, a long-time member of our club," Xiao Bai introduced. "This is Han Che, the Boss Han I keep mentioning. We buy all our equipment from him. He's a new member of our club."

Old Zhou stepped forward and extended his right hand to greet him warmly.

"Boss Han, I have the utmost respect for you! I apologize for the failed evacuation."

"We're all in the same club now, don't be so polite," Han Che said, shaking hands with Lao Zhou. "What happened at the prison? I heard the Phoenix Cry Club sent people there, but they haven't come back?"

Little White took the water cup from the mule, gulped down a mouthful of cold water, and exclaimed, "Ugh! Don't even mention it! This Tidal Prison is really weird."

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts.

"Everything seemed normal at first." She calmly recounted the events, "When we first went in, there was nothing unusual in the prison. There were no NPCs gathered, and nothing seemed amiss, so we went further in, wanting to explore the core area."

"We've walked for about half the time," Xiaobai continued, "and searched a few rooms. The results were pretty good. We slowly found a corridor, all of which are rooms with access control, and the requirement is level three access control. You couldn't open this one last time."

She paused, picked up her water glass, and took another sip.

"While we were still studying those access control rooms, the situation suddenly changed..."

Qiu Ying chimed in from the side, "Suddenly there was a loud bang, it hurt my ears."

Xiao Bai nodded: "Yes, first there was a huge tremor, then it was like something exploded. Then the whole prison went into chaos."

She looked at Han Che: "Explosions, gunshots, footsteps, came from all directions. There were people everywhere, and gunshots were heard everywhere."

Han Che frowned.

"We thought there was a fight going on," Xiaobai said, "so we looked for a place to hide and planned to wait until they finished fighting before coming out."

"And then?" the mule asked.

"In the end, no one showed up, but the water surged up," Xiaobai said. "Now I know why it's called 'Tide' Prison."

Han Che's heart skipped a beat.

"Water?" The mule was taken aback.

"Flood," Qiu Ying said. "I don't know where it came from, it just started pouring in suddenly. The water level in the corridor where we were hiding rose very quickly."

Xiao Bai gestured: "It only took a few minutes, and the water was up to my waist."

Wang Kuo listened from the side, his face turning pale.

"We can only go uphill," Xiaobai said, "but we're not familiar with that area. It's all corridors and corners, and we can't tell which way is which at all."

"The water rose faster than we could run," Qiu Ying added. "In the end, the water reached our chests, and we could only swim in it. We were dizzy and disoriented after soaking for a long time, and it was only with great difficulty that we finally found a place to get ashore."

Han Che thought silently as a loud buzzing sound and a flood of water erupted, indicating that someone had taken over the Black Tide operation.

"And then what happens after we get ashore?" the mule asked.

"It's even more chaotic now," Xiaobai said. "Gunfire is coming from all directions, and we can't tell where the shots are coming from. We can't stay any longer, so we need to find an evacuation point as soon as possible."

Gunshots rang out from all directions? This situation seemed somewhat familiar to Han Che. Could it be? Han Che thought to himself, his heart pounding in his chest.

She paused, then lowered her voice: "We've been delayed too long, and the outdoor water evacuation point is already closed. We can only head towards the prison."

Qiu Ying said, "Luckily, someone pulled the switch. We heard the alarm and rushed over there."

Xiao Bai looked at her, then at Han Che: "There were gunshots everywhere along the way, until we heard whistles near the prison."

"A whistling sound?" the mule asked.

"A melodious whistling sound," said Xiaobai.

"Across the cell corridor, several people were running for their lives, with several others chasing after them."

"Who are you?" the mule asked.

"The one wearing a mask," Xiaobai said, "was carrying two revolvers, running and firing at the same time. There were also several others with sledgehammers next to him, charging forward with their heads down, running like oxen."

Han Che's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

The raven escaped from prison...

"Those guys ran over, saw us, and shouted 'Run!'" Xiaobai said. "Then we ran together."

Qiu Ying said from the side, "One of those two groups is Tiger Girl and her group from Fengming Club, and I don't recognize the other one."

"Tiger Girl?" Mule exclaimed in surprise, "That Tiger Girl from Fengming?"

"Yes," Xiaobai said, "There are three people on their team, three on that team, and three of us, that's nine people running together."

Han Che asked, "And then?"

"Then we don't understand why so many people didn't retaliate?" Xiaobai said. "Then the members of the Phoenix Cry Club probably thought the same thing and immediately organized a counterattack."

"The prisoners quickly caught up and threw a yellow smoke bomb into our group."

"The stuff is poisonous; after inhaling it, you won't be able to see anything."

"In that smoke, we couldn't fight back at all. We could only run and shoot at the same time, but we couldn't hit the masked guy at all. He was too fast. He rolled to the left and flipped to the right, dodging all the bullets."

Qiu Ying said, "Those guys with sledgehammers were even scarier. They rushed up and swung their hammers. The Fengming Club members were surrounded by four sledgehammers, and we haven't seen them since at the evacuation point."

Xiaobai remained silent for a few seconds.

"And you? How are you?" the mule suddenly asked.

Xiao Bai didn't say anything.

Qiu Ying began, "Just before we reached the evacuation point, that masked man was about to catch up again. Old Zhou stayed behind to cover the rear..."

Everyone turned to look at Lao Zhou, who scratched his head with a wry smile. "It didn't do much good. I fired a symbolic shot to resist, and then he got close."

"That prisoner was incredibly agile; he grabbed the barrel of my gun and then shoved a bomb into my mouth..."

The rest is pretty self-explanatory.

The room fell silent.

Han Che's mind was in a mess, and his thoughts were completely elsewhere.

He had witnessed this once before. The first time the raven appeared was in Tide Prison, where it led its prisoners out and wreaked havoc on the entire prison, resulting in many deaths.

He also communicated with the ravens and tried to befriend them, hoping that there would never again be a situation where prison guards and prisoners were enemies.

Han Che's wish is that both prison guards and prisoners can live well in Tide Prison.

Raven refused at that time, saying he had things to do. Han Che didn't care then, thinking it was just that he was saving face.

Now it seems that things are not as he thought.

He clearly had a chance to escape, so why did he obediently return to the cell?

What exactly are they after?

Han Che recalled that before he left, he had specifically instructed Shi Ding and the others to let the player operators retreat if possible and not to kill them all.

As it turned out, Shi Ding and his men did not completely wipe them out.

All of this was done by Raven.
