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

The people from Fengming Team Two walked quickly ahead, and Qiu Ying and the others weren't in a hurry to catch up, so they maintained that distance and followed behind.

Fengming and his two companions were indeed not exaggerating when it came to this point. Along the way, whenever any Asara soldiers showed up, whether they were blocking the way from the front or suddenly appearing from the side, they were able to react and deal with them almost immediately.

They had already crossed an intersection, and just as Qiu Ying was about to follow, a soldier carrying a gun suddenly emerged from behind a low wall on one side of the intersection.

The last of the three men led by Fengming had already turned around, raised his hand, and fired two quick shots, accurately taking down the man.

The whole process was clean and efficient.

"Hey! Watch out, don't get ambushed!" The person who fired raised his hand high and waved it, seemingly out of concern.

"Why did you leave the team without permission?" Captain Ma asked as he saw him run back and then looked at the three people behind him.

The man answered with a grin and a deliberately nonchalant tone: "I'm just worried they'll be ambushed."

"We're a top club. If we get ambushed by Assara's underlings, it'll damage our reputation. People will think that's all there is to a top club. How embarrassing!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at his companion next to him, and the man laughed as well.

The two walked side by side, laughing. Their voices were not lowered, and every word they uttered reached Qiu Ying and the other two's ears from several steps away.

Qiu Ying's face darkened. She looked at the three figures in front of her. "I saw them all. What's he doing meddling? Does he think we can't even handle a regular soldier? Disgusting."

Qi Yuzhe walked beside him without saying a word, but his expression clearly showed some displeasure.

That man's actions were too deliberate. Even though Qiu Ying had already raised her gun, he insisted on shooting down that soldier first.

This is clearly a way of showing off in front of you and then telling you with a smile, "See, you guys aren't good enough."

Mule walked at the back of the group, his expression calmer than Qiu Ying's and Qi Yuzhe's. "Forget it, let's not bother with those guys."

Qiu Ying looked indignant. "Mule, why have you become so agreeable lately?"

"They knew perfectly well that our club could take on fifteen people at once, yet they still deliberately came up to provoke us face-to-face..." Mule said, shaking his head with a serious, almost boastful tone. "I acknowledge their domineering spirit!"

Qiu Ying paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, lightly punching the mule. "Where did you learn all this nonsense? I told you to watch less short videos!"

When Qi Yuzhe, Qiu Ying, and Mule arrived, a large number of people had already gathered on the platform.

Dark blue and dark red team uniforms were scattered across different parts of the platform.

Qi Yuzhe glanced at the number of people. The four teams from Longteng and Fengming were basically all present, with twelve people neatly scattered throughout the platform. Only Xiaobai and Han Che's team was missing.

Regardless of whether the dialogue with Saeed is successful, this operation is essentially equivalent to defeating Saeed, and such a mission has the potential to bring considerable benefits and reputation.

It's possible that the higher-ups in the government knew about the secret relationship between Club 78 and Club Longteng, so they specifically assigned Club Fengming to take on the responsibility of being the main commander.

Of course, the credit ultimately went to Fengming, so perhaps this is some kind of compensation.

Captain Zhao of Fengming Team One noticed Fengming Team Two and Qi Yuzhe and his group, and they successfully arrived at the designated assembly point.

One of the team members came over and said, "Captain, now it's just the 78 Club's boss, Xiaobai, and that Han Che left."

Captain Zhao asked everyone present about their teleportation location, as well as the two teams that had just regrouped. He deduced that Han Che and his group were probably teleported to the top of the dam or the visitor center, which were the furthest from here, so it was normal for them to be slower.

"Wait a little longer, they should have teleported to the furthest location by now, just a little longer."

Captain Zhao then announced to everyone, "Everyone, we have just completed the reconnaissance. The location of the map boss, Said, should be near the substation."

"Please get ready and think about your strategy. We'll set off immediately once the remaining two members of Club 78 arrive."

The atmosphere on the platform was quite different when Qi Yuzhe and his two companions arrived compared to when they were in the square before they set off.

They stood together exchanging pleasantries and jokes, displaying the most basic courtesy between top clubs.

However, intentionally or unintentionally, they kept a distance from the people of Club 78, separated by a space that was neither too wide nor too narrow, as if they were deliberately distancing themselves from each other by some tacit understanding.

Because of Xiaobai's instructions not to reveal his identity, Li Hao didn't come over either. He just met Qiu Ying's gaze from afar and nodded slightly.

Qi Yuzhe didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He sat down on the grass next to the platform, leaning against a tree trunk, listening to the chatter of the people on the platform.

"How many did your team score? Only 8? We scored a full 15!"

One of Fengming's teammates chuckled upon hearing this, "You guys are lucky. We didn't encounter that many, just a few here and there, and they disappeared as we walked."

"These Asara soldiers are too weak," a loud voice from Longteng continued. "Only Said is somewhat strong. There are so many of us, we're not afraid at all. Unlike that Tide Prison, where all the NPCs on the entire map are ridiculously strong." He shook his head as if recalling some unpleasant experience.

A member of the Phoenix Cry Club leaned forward curiously: "Hey? I've never been to Tide Prison. Is this really true? Is it really that incredible? Even ordinary NPCs can be that powerful?"

"Damn, why would I lie to you?" a member of the Dragon Team chimed in, his tone certain.

"If you drag any ordinary NPC from there here, I wouldn't doubt that it's a map boss."

"It's a completely different level of intensity. Fighting a regular prison guard is almost like fighting a mini-boss. With their shields in front of you, you can't break through them, and the riflemen behind you are pressing down on all your movements, leaving you no chance to even catch your breath."

"Hey, by the way, haven't you guys been to Tide Prison? Li, you said you talked to the warden before, tell us about it, is it true?" The Dragon Team asked, immediately piquing everyone's interest, and all eyes turned to them.

Li Hao was standing on the outside of the crowd, and he had only been listening quietly without saying much, but suddenly he became the center of attention.

He hesitated for a moment, then rubbed his hands together. "Really. Playing there is completely different from playing here."

"We all think of the Asara soldiers here as walking resource packs, and we'd love to encounter as many as possible, but in Tide Prison... we'd love to avoid encountering a single NPC."

His expression was serious, as if he were recalling those specific scenarios. "Even if you encounter them, it's best to avoid conflict. And if a conflict does occur, never kill the other person."

"If you really anger them, all the prison guards, along with the warden and his personal guard, will come together to surround and kill you. You'll be completely trapped with nowhere to run."

"That's outrageous?" someone pressed. "Do those NPCs even have brains?"

"Yes, they are very smart and their teamwork is excellent..." Li Hao paused, "Their teamwork is better than some ordinary players' teamwork before."
