Ayanokouji paused, glancing at the weapon in Su Wei's hand:

"As for the black ball items... only the [Controller] can still barely maintain the radar scanning function. All other weapons that rely on spatial coordinate locking are ineffective."

"We don't understand the reason for this yet."

"I guess it's highly likely that the physical laws of this space are in a chaotic and disordered state, which then leads to its entanglement and influence."

Upon hearing this explanation, Su Wei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

He then turned his gaze to a group of people huddled together in yellow hazmat suits not far behind Ayanokouji.

"What are these?"

Seeing this, Karuizawa Kei, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait to step forward and report to Su Wei first:

"These are official explorers who entered through the 'White House' entrance!"

“We had already questioned them when we found them, but they themselves didn’t know much about the inside story.”

"It just means that we received a mission from the higher-ups to come in and search for survivors, mark the floors to explore, and collect special items scattered along the way."

Upon hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu tilted her head slightly, a mocking glint in her pale purple eyes:

"Since they were ordered to be sent to mark the floors, why don't they even know the basics?"

"As far as I know, the organization behind them... has been in contact with the back room for some time."

"Even if we don't provide these junior agents with core intelligence, before entering such a desperate situation, the most basic information about the floor layout, the marking of supply points, and the map information accumulated by their predecessors... I doubt they would omit any of that, right?"

She had barely finished speaking.

Tianze Yixia let out a slightly amused snort.

She walked lightly and strode directly to the leader of the group of people in hazmat suits.

"Sir, it seems you weren't telling us the truth earlier..."

Tianze Yixia turned her head slightly, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and her left hand moved subtly.

It was as if some terrifying weapon was about to burst forth from beneath her skin, but she forcibly suppressed it.

"To be honest, I don't think you were completely unaware of our existence before you came in."

"I can't say what the future holds for both sides, but at least based on all the information you're currently receiving, we're on your side, right?"

"We are your greatest hope for survival here. In such a dangerous place, is it really okay to play mind games with the people protecting you?"

Faced with Tianze Yixia's almost threatening interrogation.

The leader of the chemical protective suits had cold sweat beading on his forehead and took a deep breath through his mask.

Ultimately, he resolutely chose the instinct to save his life over the command to remain loyal.

"We...we really don't know much."

The man gave in, his voice hoarse:

"I only received emergency training before coming in, and learned some basic rules for surviving in this space."

"For example, the 'almond water' found here can be used to restore sanity and stamina; each floor seems to have a hidden entrance or exit; however, the floors connected to these entrances and exits are not fixed, and sometimes you can leave the current area by 'cutting through' the wall."

"Even during long-distance travel, if you accidentally trigger certain mechanisms, you will fall directly into other floors... We don't understand the specific principles. The higher-ups just told us that this is a thing and told us to try not to touch the walls randomly."

"Wouldn't it have been better if we had been this honest with each other earlier?"

Tianze Yixia sighed softly and continued to press for an answer:

"Do you have any information about the floors that the team collected before?"

The man swallowed hard and replied:

"Yes, but very few. Or rather... there are very few people who can bring intelligence out alive."

"The only relatively safe areas we know of right now are the 'Level 3 Abandoned Power Plant', the 'Level 11 Endless City', and the 'Level 9 Eternal Night Suburbs'."

“We encountered entities in these places, but perhaps our team was lucky; the ones we encountered weren’t too strong, and we could barely handle them.”

The expedition leader gave a wry smile:

"As far as I know, the first elite team to enter this place had far superior weaponry compared to us, yet none of them survived."

Upon hearing this...

Among the hazmat suit team members behind him, some couldn't help but start whispering among themselves:

"That can't be right... Captain! How come I've never heard of the later information?!"

"If I had known this place was so dangerous, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, I would never have signed up for that little bit of money!"

"Exactly! At the very least, they should let us spend the 'rewards' that were promised beforehand!"

Clearly, this group of unsuspecting low-level explorers mistakenly believed that the death compensation promised by Atsuomi Ayanokoji to appease the families of the fallen was a high wage they could receive simply by participating.

This caused them a huge psychological letdown.

The students present tacitly chose to ignore the complaints of these adults.

And beside Su Wei.
