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

"It's about to begin!" The portal began to fluctuate, and the Tidal Prison was about to open again.

Jiang Chi stood up and picked up a rectangular black box that was next to him.

"So much has happened since we entered Tide Prison last time, it's getting a bit tense now," Chen Xiaoxun said, raising his weapon.

"After all, it's the only top-secret map of dangerous operations confirmed by the United Nations." Jiang Chi looked at the players who were eager to make their move in the square. "Look at those casual players, they're not only not afraid, they're even a little excited."

"Hehe, it's an opportunity to get rich!" Chen Xiaoxun laughed.

"But I heard it's not easy to get an entry spot from the Casual Players Association," Li Hao added.

In fact, they had already received word that after the John Brain Machine incident, the major clubs were unwilling to take the risk of the high disorientation rate in Tide Prison, and instead encouraged individual players to enter the game to explore for information.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

With the opening of the Tidal Prison several times in a row, not only has the difficulty been reduced significantly, but even the frequency of the warden's appearance has decreased considerably.

Sensing an opportunity, the various clubs began to stir, until Phoenix Club took the lead. Although it suffered an attack from Raven, the Warden was still more terrifying to the clubs.

If Longteng Club can escape unscathed from its re-entry into the Tide Prison, other clubs might feel uneasy.

"Yeah, there are plenty of casual players who gamble their entire fortune on a single opportunity," Chen Xiaoxun scoffed. "All that gear they've built up with their life savings, and the warden takes it all down in one shot, huh?"

"Even if they could be resurrected, it would be no different from being dead."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke for a moment.

Not only were Li Hao and his two companions like this, but the entire square was the same. In an instant, the square, which was noisy just a moment ago, suddenly became unusually quiet.

"Don't be afraid," Jiang Chi, as the team leader, keenly sensed their unease. "Here's this!"

Jiang Chi patted the black suitcase in his hand and revealed a hearty smile, "The precious thing Li Hao brought out from Tide Prison has finally been developed."

Li Hao nodded. "That's true. With this, at least we don't have to worry about being instantly killed. It can at least help us hold out a little longer."

The portal opened, and the Tidal Prison reopened.

The casual players still rushed in, afraid that if they were a step too late, they would miss out on the good stuff.

"Let's go!" Jiang Chi and the other two exchanged glances, nodded, and then entered the Tide Prison.

……

The portal's light screen flashed past my eyes.

Jiang Chi was the first to step in, his foot landing with a soft thud. He glanced down and saw that his combat boots had gotten muddy.

Li Hao followed in from behind, and Chen Xiaoxun was the last. The three of them stood on the side for a few seconds, waiting for their eyes to adjust to the light.

"Is everything normal?"

"Everything is normal," Li Hao and Chen Xiaoxun replied simultaneously.

I heard that Tide Prison has changed a lot, but the decor is still the same as I remember: a drab corridor, a row of cold-glowing light tubes overhead, and water dripping from the iron pipes in the corners. There's a musty smell in the air, mixed with the smell of rust.

Li Hao raised his gun, looked around, and saw that both ends of the corridor were empty and silent; only the three of them were there.

"The teleportation point is still the same old place," Jiang Chi said in a low voice. "Then let's proceed according to plan."

Chen Xiaoxun nodded and followed behind.

The three people walked slowly forward, hugging the wall.

Jiang Chi walked at the front, his steps light. He remembered that when he came here before, the prison guards liked to crouch around corners and suddenly open fire when you passed by.

Almost all operators have suffered from this, not only because it takes a lot of time to sort out points, but more importantly, it damages their mentality.

So this time he followed the procedure step by step, paying special attention to corners. At each corner, he would stop first, let the gun muzzle go out first, and then peek out.

But after walking for a while, they didn't encounter anything.

Chen Xiaoxun whispered from behind, "Why isn't there a single prison guard?"

Li Hao didn't say anything and continued to follow behind Jiang Chi.

After walking for a while, there was an intersection ahead.

Jiang Chi leaned against the wall and peeked to his left.

There are two people at the end of the left-hand corridor.

Two prison guards, dressed in matching uniforms, walked side by side, each carrying a gun.

Their pace was neither fast nor slow, as if they were on patrol.

Jiang Chi shrank back and made a hand gesture behind him. Li Hao and Chen Xiaoxun immediately squatted down against the wall.

The three people stood close to the wall, exchanging glances.

A few seconds later, Jiang Chi peeked out again.

The two prison guards walked to the middle of the corridor and paused. One of them glanced in their direction.

Jiang Chi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shrank back.

"Did you see it?" Li Hao mouthed.

Jiang Chi nodded, then shook his head. Their eyes almost met in that glance, but he wasn't sure if he had seen him at all.

But if they actually saw it, they would probably open fire, right?

"What do we do now?" Chen Xiaoxun asked in a breathy voice.

Jiang Chi thought for a moment, then peeked out again.

The person who was looking this way is still looking this way; Jiang Chi is certain he's seen it now.

But the other party didn't linger, just glanced at it casually.

The two prison guards had already turned around and continued walking forward, heading towards the other end of the corridor.

Jiang Chi pulled back and frowned.

Those prison guards used to pounce on anyone they saw. They didn't care if they could win; they just charged. Who would have stopped walking after seeing someone?

Chen Xiaoxun also chimed in, "Captain, didn't they see it?"

"I saw it," Jiang Chi said. "It wasn't far away. He was facing this way just now, so he must have seen it."

"Then why don't you fight?"

"have no idea.

The three of them squatted by the wall and waited for a while.

There was no sound at the other end of the corridor; the footsteps faded into the distance.

Li Hao whispered, "Should we touch it?"

Jiang Chi shook his head: "No rush. We came in to gather intelligence, not to fight. We can just go around them."

The three people stood up and turned right at the intersection, making a circle.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we turned back.

They searched the area for half a day but couldn't find a decent supply point.

"Where is your level-one prison access card room?" Chen Xiaoxun asked.

Li Hao looked around: "I don't know, I didn't see any rooms with electronic access control in this area."

Jiang Chi didn't speak. He knew they had already circled the area twice. The area wasn't large, and they had searched everything they could, but hadn't found anything.

Li Hao suggested in a low voice, "How about we head towards the core area? There might not be any here. I've heard that there are many rooms with electronic access control over the prison area."

Jiang Chi thought for a moment and shook his head: "To get to the core area, you have to go through that iron gate, and there are definitely prison guards standing guard next to it. We'll have to fight to get through."

The three of them remained silent for a while.

Chen Xiaoxun said, "Then let's fight. What's there to be afraid of with two ordinary prison guards?"

"That's true... but they're acting a bit strange, and I'm worried it might be a trap," Jiang Chi said, frowning.

"He's just an NPC, not the warden. What kind of trick could he possibly pull?"

"That's true, let's get started!"
