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

Han Che suddenly opened his eyes and found himself back outside the Zero Dam teleportation portal.

The cold ground and the chilly wind instantly sobered Han Che, who had just been burning with passion.

Han Che sat up from the ground, his head still throbbing slightly.

He raised his hand and touched the side of his neck. His fingers touched intact skin, with no wounds or blood.

Looking down at his body, he saw that his clothes and equipment were still there. The charred marks on his jacket were clearly visible, but there were no injuries on his skin. All the marks from the shrapnel cuts and burns had disappeared.

Han Che sat there stunned for a few seconds, then looked around and saw his teammates, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Yuzhe seemed to sense the movement behind him. He turned around, walked over, and extended a hand towards Han Che.

Han Che looked at the hand, and after a moment he reached out and grabbed it, using Qi Yuzhe's pull to lift himself completely off the ground.

Looking around, the slow loss of life and the return to the player's world still feel somewhat unreal.

Han Che looked down at his body, his clothes...

After straightening up, Han Che noticed something hard pressing against him in the bulletproof pocket on his chest.

He reached in and touched it, then pulled out the EMP grenade and glanced at it; there were still some dried bloodstains on the metal casing.

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Qi Yuzhe called out to him, "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go."

"Oh...oh!" It turned out that the group of men in black had come to pick them up.

Han Che responded, put the EMP grenade back into his pocket, and followed.

"Qiu Ying?" Han Che saw Qiu Ying in the group, looked her up and down, and noticed she was still carrying the sniper rifle. He asked in surprise, "Where did you go?"

Qiu Ying glanced at him sideways, her tone a mix of grievance and resentment, "I went to the top of the dam. Following your instructions, I lay behind the substation for the entire game but couldn't hit Said. It made me so angry, so I went to the top of the dam to snipe him."

Han Che slowed his pace slightly. "So, what happened in the end? Did you win?"

Qiu Ying's expression became somewhat subtle upon hearing this. She blinked and said, "Huh? You didn't see it?"

"He was unconscious at that time," Qi Yuzhe explained, then looked at Han Che and explained, "Qiu Ying blew Said's head off from the top of the dam at the last moment, which prevented Said and his Crimson Owl Squad from rushing in."

Han Che paused upon hearing this. "Said is dead?"

When Qiu Ying heard this question, her expression became even more aggrieved. She spread her hands and said, "No. That guy's head was made of something, it was rock hard. The first shot was to the head, but he didn't die."

"We had no chance at all by now, but one of the machine gunners protecting Said suddenly went crazy and moved forward, leaving me a gap. The second shot hit Said's arm, but he was still alive."

Han Che was surprised when he heard the result, as he had personally witnessed Said's condition after using the medal.

With his entire body engulfed in flames and his speed and strength surging to an absurd degree, locking onto his head in that state was already extremely difficult.

Qiu Ying's accuracy in hitting Said twice from such a distance at the top of the dam with a sniper rifle exceeded Han Che's expectations.

He paused for a moment and then asked, "How did you get down from the top of the dam?"

"Isn't there an evacuation point on the top of the dam?" Qiu Ying said matter-of-factly. "That evacuation point has a weight limit. I just threw my things down and I was out. I left my backpack and other gear on the top of the dam."

She patted the sniper rifle on her back. "As long as I didn't throw the gun away, that's fine."

Han Che remembered that there was indeed an evacuation point on the top of Dam Zero.

But in reality, Han Che never used that evacuation point. He usually went to the administration building for a fierce attack, killed everyone, and then pulled the plug to retreat. He had almost forgotten that there was an evacuation point there.

Dark-colored minivans were already parked outside the exit, waiting for them. The vehicles had no markings and the windows were tinted dark.

The men in black stood by the car door and waited. They opened the back door when the men approached.

Han Che walked in the middle of the group. As he approached the car door, he subconsciously looked back at the square behind him, as if to check if anyone had fallen behind.

Qiu Ying and Qi Yuzhe walked together, talking as they got into the front row of the van.

Han Che and Mule walked to the back row. Mule got on the vehicle first and sat down at the very back.

Han Che was just about to get into the car when he suddenly realized something was wrong!

He had felt something was missing ever since he left; where was that long silver hair?

My heart skipped a beat! Why isn't Xiaobai in this team?!

Han Che immediately had a bad feeling.

The driver in the front seat had just started the car and was waiting for Han Che to get in before starting the journey.

Han Che slammed his hand on the car door frame with a loud bang, startling everyone.

"No! Don't you remember Xiaobai? Where's Xiaobai?! Stop the car!"

His teammates around him were stunned by his sudden reaction and looked over in bewilderment.

Qi Yuzhe was already sitting in the car. He stuck half his head out of the car window and looked at Han Che with a slightly bewildered expression.

Qiu Ying also turned around, looking at Han Che as if she were looking at something strange.

The mule lowered its head, looking at Han Che from under the door frame. It opened its mouth as if to say something but then didn't.

Seeing the reactions of the three of them, Han Che became even more flustered.

He didn't understand why the three of them had blank expressions on their faces, as if they had no idea what he was talking about.

Han Che's mind was a jumble of thoughts, with all sorts of possibilities popping up.

Xiao Bai didn't come out?

That's not right. They were together at the evacuation point, and his last memory was of Xiaobai choking him...

Han Che suddenly reached down to his neck, where the icy, trembling touch still lingered.

He remembered that touch clearly; how could something have happened to her?

Moreover, since I survived and successfully evacuated despite being in such a severely injured state, what reason could Xiaobai have to fail in his evacuation?

They got lost? That's even more impossible! They're all within the evacuation point, how could they get lost?

And even if she really got lost, the people in the player world shouldn't completely forget her.

Han Che's thoughts became increasingly chaotic as he tried to sort them out. He grabbed his hair, his mind becoming more and more confused. He was already thinking about going back to Dam Zero to look for the person.

"This shouldn't be, this shouldn't be... How could this be..." Han Che muttered to himself, then turned to rush back to the square.
