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

It was almost time to leave, and Qi Yuzhe still hadn't arrived, so Han Che decided to go to his room to call him.

Han Che pushed open the door to the cell door. This solitary cell had long been renovated and given a brand new look by Qi Yuzhe.

The room wasn't very tidy; there were a lot of messy things on the table. Han Che glanced at them and saw that they were mostly random little gadgets, circuit boards, and the like.

Qi Yuzhe was standing in front of a mirror with his back to the door, meticulously combing his hair with a comb in his hand.

Even his clothes were washed and ironed a few days ago, and he just took them out to change into today.

Han Che leaned against the doorframe for a while before speaking, "What are you dawdling about? It's almost time."

Qi Yuzhe saw Han Che walk in through the mirror. He didn't stop what he was doing, pushing the comb back a couple more times before putting it down. He turned his head to face the mirror and turned his face left and right.

"Damn it, I'm going to a meeting, not a blind date. What are you dressing up for?" Han Che walked in from the doorway and complained speechlessly.

"If you're meeting someone important, you have to pay attention to your image, right?"

Qi Yuzhe turned back to look at Han Che, his gaze falling on the white mask on his face. He curled his lip and said, "You think you can just put on a mask and not care about anything? What do you know!"

"Don't I need to take care of my appearance? Who knows what kind of people work at Hafk's headquarters? What if they judge me based on my looks?"

"Are you nervous?" Han Che asked with a smile.

Qi Yuzhe walked from the mirror to the table, put down the comb, and casually moved the circuit boards aside to make some space.

"What's there to be nervous about? I'm already on your Hafk territory. If you really wanted to mess with me, would I need to drag me somewhere else?"

He spoke with great conviction, but Han Che knew he was incredibly nervous.

Han Che didn't expose him, and just watched Qi Yuzhe's feigned composure.

He knew very well how this guy had been going back and forth for the past three days.

Qi Yuzhe barely slept the night after receiving the call. The next morning, he went to the warden's office and sat on the sofa for a long time without saying a word.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out, "Do you think I'm really on your side, Hafk?"

Han Che said it was possible but not certain yet, so Qi Yuzhe sat there thinking for a while and then left.

On the third day, he became quiet and didn't come to see Han Che all day. Han Che thought he had figured it out and wasn't bothered anymore. But that night, he pushed open the door again and asked, "If I really get killed, you have to bring me back to life!"

Han Che was looking at the documents when Qi Yuzhe's nonsensical remark left him speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Looking at his serious face, I shook my head and said, "Don't worry, you won't die."

Qi Yuzhe nodded and left, but turned back at the door and added, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all."

Han Che found his stubbornness amusing and let him be without saying anything.

Han Che could understand it, after all, from Qi Yuzhe's perspective, it really was like going deep into the tiger's den.

"Let's go, it's time to set off."

Qi Yuzhe took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Let's go!"

When the two arrived at the water evacuation point after passing through the prison, a helicopter was already circling overhead and descending.

The sound of the propeller churning the air gradually grew louder as it approached, creating ripples that spread outwards across the water's surface.

After the helicopter landed, the cabin door opened from the inside, and a person in a gray-blue combat uniform crouched down and jumped out of the cabin door onto the platform. After landing, the person straightened up.

Han Che recognized him as the squad leader who had led the team to escort the lost people before. The man walked up to Han Che, stood at attention, and saluted. "Warden, Raven, the appointed time has arrived. Let's set off."

Qi Yuzhe noticed that he addressed him as "Lord Raven," using the same honorific as when addressing Han Che, and his attitude was very respectful, almost as if he were facing a superior.

I felt a little more relaxed.

Han Che nodded. "Let's go." Then he took the lead and walked towards the helicopter.

This time, apart from the pilot, only the squad leader was with them in the cabin. Compared to the last time when they escorted the Lost Ones, when a full squad of heavily armed men was deployed, the atmosphere this time was noticeably more relaxed.

After the helicopter took off, it gradually ascended, and the view outside the porthole slowly expanded from the rooftops and walls of the prison buildings to the entire sea.

Through the window, Han Che could see the entire Tide Prison. The gray building complex floated in the middle of the sea, like a gray-white reef protruding from the ocean, with the surrounding water surface shimmering with tiny silver light under the sunlight.

After the flight had been going on for a while, the light outside the porthole suddenly dimmed, as if something was blocking the sunlight from above.

Han Che looked up and saw that the outside world had turned into a uniform darkness. It was as if the helicopter had passed through some kind of barrier, and the scenery outside the fuselage had completely disappeared.

The darkness lasted for less than a minute, then the light came back on, and blue sky and sunlight reappeared outside the window, but the view below had completely changed.

The endless darkness lasted for almost a minute, after which I felt the plane's altitude gradually begin to decrease.

The light shone in again, and it was still sunny, but the scene had changed drastically.

The complex of buildings that came into Han Che's view was mainly gray, white and cool blue, and the buildings were arranged in a very regular manner.

At the center of the complex stands an astonishingly tall tower, its top mostly obscured by a thin layer of clouds.

As the tower's silhouette grew larger in his field of vision, Qi Yuzhe looked out the window, his face almost pressed against the glass. He stared at the tower for a long while before lowering his voice and saying, "The Tower of Babel."

"Your Excellency Raven has a good eye. This is the Tower of Babel, and we will be gathering here today," Captain Hafk explained.

The helicopter was already hovering at low altitude. The captain reached out and pressed his earpiece, saying something.

"Warden, Raven, we may land now."

The squad leader then gave the order, and the helicopter slowly landed on the helipad.

Han Che and his group were familiar with this location; it was the place where they escorted the doctor to safety in their previous game.

The area around the tarmac was heavily guarded, with a large number of armed Hafk soldiers patrolling and maintaining order.

The squad leader led the way, guiding Han Che and Qi Yuzhe from the helipad toward the main gate of the Tower of Babel.

As Han Che followed behind him, he observed the surrounding environment. It was similar to his previous impressions, with little change in the tower's appearance and layout.

The difference was that the number of Hafk soldiers around him was much greater than he remembered; he could see a patrol passing by almost every few steps.

Several armed helicopters were circling and patrolling the sky above the tower, the hum of their propellers echoing down from above.
