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

Mule didn't reply to Xiaobai, and the club fell silent for a moment.

Mule was trying to calm his excited emotions. When he was introducing himself, he had put himself in the role as Boss Han, and he was getting more and more excited.

Xiaobai, on the other hand, was trying hard to understand what Mule had just said. Mule was not only a member of the club, but also a friend she had known for a long time. Logically speaking, there was no reason for him to lie to her about such a thing.

Why are you making Boss Han sound so outrageous...?

"Sister Bai, we also ran into people from the Ace Club, Old K and his group." Mule calmed down a bit.

"They didn't cause you any trouble?" Xiaobai asked.

"How could that be?" the mule sneered. "They found us before we even got to the dam."

"Did they give you any trouble?" Xiaobai asked worriedly.

"No, it was Boss Han who got us out of that predicament."

"Him? What did he do?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled.

"Those guys were blind and went to provoke Boss Han because of the helmet he was wearing. Boss Han broke Old K's finger."

"I ran into them again in the administration building. They suddenly appeared and attacked after Boss Han chased away Said."

"He was killed by Boss Han."

With the mule's simple description, Xiaobai wasn't surprised anymore; he had even knocked Said away with his bare hands.

"Both reaction speed and playing style are the same as before, there's nothing to say about that, except..."

Mule paused, his tone becoming heavy, "But he said this to Old K, whom he had beaten into incapacitating."

He said, "I'll let you off this time, so you won't go astray." Then he shot and killed Old K.

Xiao Bai's pupils contracted sharply. "Lost?"

Mule nodded. "I felt he was serious. He was very murderous during the fight, but after he finished saying those words and killed Old K, his murderous intent diminished considerably, replaced by a feeling of pity..."

Xiao Bai's expression was serious. Even if there were serious conflicts between players, he would almost never try to make other players lose their way.

These are the basic bottom lines and rules.

Because killing in a dangerous area, although there is real death and pain, the person will still be resurrected, just like in a game.

But if you get lost, it's equivalent to actually killing someone in the real world, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"I understand." Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully.

"Mule, I believe in you as a person, but what you're saying is just too absurd..."

"Sister Bai, I understand you. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe what I'm saying either."

"Next time I go to Dam Zero, I'll personally team up with Boss Han and go. Maybe then I'll understand."

Xiao Bai nodded, stood up, and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Come on, I'll treat you to a late-night snack. You've had a hard day."

"Hehe, thanks, Sister Bai! I want to eat barbecue!"

……

"Are you going to Tidal Prison again next time?"

"Yes, your Phoenix Cry Club has restarted Operation Tidal Prison, so we have to follow suit."

Li Hao and Hu Mei met again at the place where they had met before. During the time when John's squad ruled Tidal Prison, they were both assigned to different maps.

Now, the Phoenix Cry Club is looking at the Tide Prison without any top-tier clubs exploring, and is restarting its operations.

The Dragon Club, their fiercest competitor, was naturally not going to fall behind, so Li Hao and his team would return to Tide Prison for their next operation.

"How did it go? I heard you failed to evacuate? Is a prison without a warden still this dangerous?" Li Hao asked.

"Yes, but although there's no warden, there's a raven this time."

"Raven? The one that was defeated by John's team before?"

Tiger Girl nodded. "The way he and the warden refresh their ranks is completely unpredictable. You guys need to be careful next time."

As they talked, dishes were served one after another, and the two ate and chatted.

Since most of the participants in this Tidal Prison operation were independent individuals, there was little value in keeping these details secret, and they were being circulated all over the internet, so the two of them chatted without any reservations.

Li Hao hadn't seen Tiger Girl for a long time. Her hair had grown longer, and with the weather getting colder recently, her dark brown coat paired with a turtleneck sweater made her look less fierce and more gentle.

Tiger Girl raised her eyes and met Li Hao's gaze. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her right hand. "There have been quite a few changes in the prison. Be careful next time you're on a mission."

"I heard that many rooms are locked?" Li Hao felt it was a bit offensive to stare at someone, so he quickly looked away.

"Yes, the rumors are true. There are many locked rooms, and looking through the doors, there are more supply points inside than before."

"There are also some corridors with added laser traps, so you can't pass through them directly and have to take a detour," Tiger Girl recalled.

"The prison guards are stronger than before."

"The prison guards have become stronger?" Li Hao asked in surprise. This news had not circulated online because Tide Prison was previously only explored by top clubs.

Recently, it's mostly casual players joining. These casual players haven't experienced the previous battles, so they can't feel the difference.

Tiger Girl nodded. "It's not an illusion; the improvement is quite obvious."

"Where is this reflected?"

Tiger Girl put down her chopsticks, gently resting her chin on her hand. "An all-round improvement in equipment, combat methods, and even teamwork."

"In comparison, those prisoners in yellow clothes are just as easy to deal with as the NPCs on other maps. They are not very organized, except for the raven and those few hammer soldiers."

"If the prison guards get stronger, then what about the warden?"

Tiger Girl shook her head. "I don't know. That's the same analysis from our club. We don't know what caused it, but there's been a noticeable improvement overall in the prison."

"The warden and his personal guard are likely to become even more troublesome."

After saying that, Tiger Girl looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then got up and sat down next to Li Hao. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Our club plans to apply to the United Nations for that previous plan."

Tiger Girl was very close to him, and Li Hao could smell the faint citrus scent on her body. Her hair brushed against his face, and her breath warmed his ears.

"Are you listening?" Tiger Girl asked softly.

"Ah!" Li Hao snapped out of his daze, shifted in his chair, and moved a little further away.

"What plan?"

"The joint training program proposed by the United Nations," Tiger Girl explained.

"Wasn't no one responding to this plan? Why is it being brought up again all of a sudden?" Li Hao forcibly pulled his thoughts back.

"Because things might be different now. After the John B. brain-computer interface incident, the Bald Eagle Club quieted down for a while. But recently, someone revealed that the United States is researching brain-computer interface technology."

"It's not for dangerous areas, it's for the real world," Tiger Girl said in a low voice.

"Furthermore, the Tidal Prison has not yet been explored, and it has never appeared on previous maps."

"Meanwhile, complex changes have occurred at Dam Zero..."

"The United Nations is already getting restless, and so is our club."

Li Hao paused for a moment, then said, "I think there are still too many obstacles to implementation. After all, the United Nations expects each club to bring out its own red technology and unify it, which is unrealistic for top clubs and the countries behind them."

Tiger Girl nodded. "Yes, but given the current situation, perhaps all we need is a trigger."

"For example, the Bald Eagle Society and the United States behind it are insisting on putting brain-computer interfaces into real warfare..."
