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

"A whistle?" Han Che frowned slightly. The sound came from the direction where the raven was hiding.

We passed through the yellow smoke, sometimes near, sometimes far.

Han Che stared into the depths of the smoke. He remembered clearly that the raven only whistled when it was not on alert.

Raven is now trapped here, and the guards on the outside are closing in. His prisoners are falling one by one, and he himself has been shot, his armor is almost shattered.

Why did he start whistling in this situation?

But thinking about it carefully, since they came out of the small room where they received the mission, has something been missing along the way?

There were no footsteps, no gunshots; at the time, I just felt it was quiet and didn't think much of it.

Looking back now, what was missing was the raven's whistle.

Every time the raven appears, the whistle always arrives before the person can be seen.

I hadn't heard it since I came out today, and it only started ringing now.

Boom! !

Two flashes of light appeared in the smoke, and two bullets pierced through the yellow mist, flying past Han Che.

"!" Han Che was shocked; he hadn't felt anything at all.

When did the raven peek out and fire? He had no idea.

The killing intent was still there, but this time he felt nothing at all.

He instinctively crouched down and shrank half a step behind Shi Ding's shield.

"Warden, watch out!" Shi Ding shouted, raising his shield to block Han Che.

Two more shots. One hit Shi Ding's shield with a clang, sparks flying. The other shot flew over the shield and struck the pillar behind it.

Something's wrong! I can't sense the raven's location anymore!

Han Che frowned; he had never encountered such a situation before.

Without sensory abilities, it's far too dangerous to be in this yellow fog.

However, judging from the position of Raven's shots, they were quite off-target, so it seems he couldn't see this side clearly either.

"How is it, Warden?" Shi Ding's voice came from the side, tinged with nervousness.

"I'm fine. If we can't pinpoint the raven's location, we'll keep moving forward," Han Che said.

"Yes." Shi Ding pressed the headset. "Continue advancing and surround Raven!"

Han Che reached out and grabbed Shi Ding's arm. Shi Ding was startled and turned to look at him. Han Che said, "Lin Feng and the other two, don't move. Stay put and wait for orders."

Shi Ding looked at Han Che and nodded. "Lin Feng, Lin Rui, Lin Kun. The three of you stay put and remain on standby at all times."

Shi Ding turned around and pushed his shield forward half a step.

Han Che followed behind him, his body huddled behind the shield, only half of his head showing.

He dared not swagger outside anymore. Without sensory abilities, he was practically blind in this yellow fog.

At this distance, we're now within the Raven's advantageous firing range.

The whistle grew closer and more piercing.

The smoke grenade didn't dissipate over time; instead, it seemed to get even denser.

A hissing sound came through the headset. Then a voice, very soft, with a hint of hesitation, said, "Report..."

Shi Ding pressed the button on his headset. "Speak."

The voice paused, as if organizing its thoughts. "Report, something's not right..."

Shi Ding and Han Che exchanged a glance. Shi Ding lowered his voice and asked, "What happened? Are you having trouble exchanging fire with the prisoners?"

"No, it's the brothers..." The voice on the other end hesitated, and there was some noise.

"No, it's the brothers..." The person on the other end hesitated. A noisy background sound came through the headset: some people were talking, some were laughing, and some were shouting something.

"Brothers? What's going on?" Shi Ding frowned.

There was a moment of silence. Then the voice said, "They're a little excited, but now it seems they're getting a little too excited!"

"Excited?" Shi Ding looked at Han Che with a puzzled expression.

"Excited?" Han Che frowned and repeated it to himself.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter from several people came through the headset, exploding in Han Che's ears.

The laughter was shrill and piercing.

Then came the indiscriminate gunfire, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, without a target or direction, just firing at the open ground.

"Shi Ding! Something's wrong!" The voice in the earpiece suddenly became louder, filled with obvious panic.

"The brothers suddenly started shooting!"

In the background, some people were shouting "Calm down," some were shouting "Cease fire," and some were shouting "What are you doing?"

The voices were mixed together, making it impossible to tell who was who.

Han Che's pupils contracted sharply. He reached for his headset and switched to the all-hands channel: "You all retreat immediately! Ignore the crazy ones, the rest of you who are normal, retreat immediately, get outside the smoke!"

"Yes...yes! Retreat!" The conversation on the other end of the headset was still chaotic.

"What's going on? Why is this happening all of a sudden?" Shi Ding asked, his expression changing with confusion.

"The whistle." Han Che explained with a serious expression behind his mask.

He stared at the yellow fog ahead, listening to the raven's whistling, which was even more piercing than before.

"The whistling of a raven?" Shi Ding was taken aback.

Han Che nodded. "I initially thought the only problem was the hallucinogenic smoke. Now it seems the whistle is the key."

He paused for a moment, mentally going over the events that had transpired.

The yellow smoke from a smoke bomb can cause hallucinations.

Shimada and Takahashi, members of the samurai sword squad, went mad after inhaling smoke and hearing the whistle.

His prison guards inhaled the smoke and were fine at first, but then the raven's whistling started to cause problems.

The whistle was the trigger, bringing out the effect of the smoke.

"Then why are we alright?" Shi Ding carefully assessed his own condition, then looked back at Shi Lei beside him. Neither of them seemed to feel anything unusual.

"I don't know." Han Che shook his head. He wasn't sure, but he had a vague feeling that this influence might be related to the so-called level.

His personal guards and some prison guards were actually more capable in combat than ordinary and newly arrived prison guards.

"Is this your backup plan?" Han Che muttered to himself, having dealt with the large number of prison guards surrounding him with a single move.

If the prisoners were separated and fought against the prison guards, Han Che was now absolutely confident that he could easily defeat his group.

Then, by surrounding the ravens, they can be easily captured in one fell swoop.

So Raven devised a plan to lure the prisoners into a trap, where the guards would surround them, and then use this tactic to eliminate them.

Han Che turned back to Shi Ding, "Raven is just ahead. Let's not waste time with him. The enemy's numbers are no longer in our favor. Let's finish this quickly!"

Han Che stepped out from behind the shield; the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would become.

The prison guards on the perimeter are in disarray; it's unclear how much longer they can hold out.

He must deal with the ravens before things get out of control.

The raven has painstakingly eliminated the numerical disadvantage between the two sides, and now it has succeeded.

Now, Han Che stared ahead and said in a deep voice, "They've arrived."

Then, from the depths of the smoke, Raven slowly emerged from behind a concrete pillar, and four strong figures appeared behind him, protecting Raven in the middle.
