Our attention returns to Jiang Hui, starting from the moment she was led into the lounge.

After subduing the entire squad, Jiang Hui made no further moves. She entered the rest room as naturally as a true member of the team, then followed 733 and the others to find a place to rest.

Compared to the unusually silent 733 and others, Jiang Hui, who played someone who was so tired that he fell asleep immediately, seemed quite at ease. He found a good spot, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes, as if he was really going to perform a scene where he fell asleep on the spot.

"No way, how can you still be sleeping? Are you the undercover agent or are we the undercover agents?!" 733 and the others were almost screaming. They felt like they'd been dragged into a muddy puddle.

Even so, they could only swallow their bitterness, because even with her eyes closed, it didn't hinder her from transmitting her mental energy as long as they 'remained normal and at ease'.

Yeah, you're pretty casual... so casual it makes people wonder if you don't know what you're here for. Come on, if you're going to be an undercover agent, at least put in some effort, otherwise it'll only make those of them who were forced into this feel even more desperate and hopeless.

Jiang Hui naturally didn't have time to care what others thought. Having completed the first phase of her goal and moved on to the next, she finally had time to sort out her thoughts.

After fourteen days and twenty minutes, she finally escaped the life in the primeval jungle and entered the main storyline of the unified recruitment.

When asked how she knew the time so precisely, she explained that the tower had a timekeeping device. After spending many days as a "wild man" in the wild jungle, Jiang Hui finally knew the exact time.

She finally bid farewell to the jungle. Although the temporary resting platform was more like a makeshift structure, it was still better than the earthy ground.

She had just seen that the tower was fully equipped, with lighting facilities outside, and so many people. If she could successfully capture it, she would be reaping the benefits, which further strengthened Jiang Hui's resolve.

She closed her eyes and pretended to rest, because she knew that the people above wouldn't relax so easily; they would probably keep an eye on her for a while longer, and she needed to take a break.

There's a big project to do later, so we can't waste time wasting time with them.

After "discussing" with everyone and agreeing that everything would proceed as usual, Jiang Hui truly closed his eyes to rest, appearing as if he were asleep. Only the group remained, looking at each other in bewilderment, still immersed in the "sorrow" of being wiped out in one fell swoop.

"What should we do?" The boy next to him gave 733 a look, not caring whether the other could understand it or not. But even without understanding it, he could guess what the other meant.

"What can we do? Let her be." 733 shrugged and said something completely different from his usual style.

Everyone immediately looked at each other with veiled accusations. You were quick to hire people, but now you've gotten yourself into trouble, and they've all gotten into trouble too... And you tell me it's fine, it's really infuriating.

733 touched his nose, looking like he was ready to give up.

The others just thought that this group of people had a really good relationship, and they even had to see what the squad leader assigned them to sleep on.

Honestly, who can be commanded by such trivial matters? Everyone here has remembered that they came to take the exam to get into their ideal school. Even if they are managed by someone, it's only for the sake of the exam, and it's temporary. Who would genuinely listen to another person's instructions, especially when that person's abilities are about the same as their own?

--------------

1002 observed a simple sand table at the top, which was also allocated from the west. Each base tower only had one, while the five on the main tower of the west were much more advanced and considered relatively rare resources. However, this thing was useless to 1002. In his location, there were few even those who launched surprise attacks, let alone those who would fight for territory.

However, the West side still regularly releases updates about the main tower, such as the recapture of another base tower, an attack by a certain force, and the general layout of the current inner perimeter situation.

This is arguably the only source of enjoyment for 1002 in this remote area. At least he's part of a powerful team, and even if he can't participate in the battles himself, knowing that his faction is invincible is still quite exhilarating.

Despite the previous little incident, 1002 felt that everything was still under his control, and those petty people couldn't cause any trouble. His attention shifted to the intelligence that Xi Lai had just sent over.

The entire inner circle is now open, and those who were previously kept out have all entered, bringing with them a large influx of new talent.

According to Xi Lai, this group did not come empty-handed; they brought a large number of mechs and forcefully entered the area, causing a huge impact on the previous situation.

However, the situation is still under control. The main tower is equipped with dozens of mechs, and each base tower has one, totaling dozens... In the current situation, the Western faction is undoubtedly a powerful "force".

However, due to the addition of these new forces, coupled with the continued expansion of existing powers, the situation inevitably became tense. Xi Lai instructed the leaders of each of the fortified towers to be extremely careful, lest they give others an opportunity to exploit the situation.

1002 seemed thoughtful. So he was right after all; there couldn't be such a coincidence… the so-called team swap was definitely suspicious. He trusted his intuition.

"How's it going over there?" he asked abruptly. His deputy happened to return from outside and didn't immediately understand the reason for the seemingly random question. After a long pause, he replied, "Nothing unusual. Apparently, he fell asleep as soon as he entered the rest room. Our men are still keeping an eye on things over there."

"...He's quite composed," 1002 murmured.

"Where is 377?"

The man hesitated, as he had no means of communication and naturally didn't know where the 377 team was. The only person who could know everyone's movements was the commander of branch 1002. Was the question meant to put him in a difficult position, or was it a warning?
The deputy immediately felt that another layer of mystery had been added to this person, making him even more unpredictable.

1002 There was really no need for a deputy to answer this question... As the other party said, he was the only one who knew and controlled the movements of the people, which was why he was so confident in controlling the situation. He felt that no one inside the tower could escape his grasp.

"We've arrived." He strolled to the window and looked out. He saw two small teams slowly approaching. One was the No. 06 team he had just dispatched, and the other was the team led by the problematic Unit 377. Both teams were approaching at a leisurely pace.

377 and his group followed closely behind, their expressions tense. 06 and his men surrounded them, as if they would be dealt with on the spot if they misbehaved. No one would be happy to be treated like a thief.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at their destination. 377 gazed at the tower ahead with a slight glint in his eyes.

Are we inviting you into a trap? The trap is there, but who is the real target?
