Clifford made up his mind. “Then let’s stop chasing points. We’ll slack off too and head to Aria’s cave, just defend and not attack.”
The six of them slacking off was clearly visible to everyone observing from the leadership monitors. A furious voice blared through the communicator. “The State Security Bureau is under attack. You’re defending your country–it’s not just about scoring points.”
Gerald replied indifferently, “Half a day has passed, yet enemies are still pouring in nonstop. You could have sealed the entrances, but you’re deliberately letting them through.
“We all know this is just an excuse to train us, so there’s no need to sound so righteous.”
He thought, ‘They could’ve simply asked which team wanted to go to the eastern zone. By eliminating Cathy’s team outright, it’s painfully obvious they’re being targeted. Clearly, the real issue hasn’t been addressed yet.‘
The voice on the other end of the communicator hesitated before softening slightly. “This is a rare opportunity for real combat-”
Gerald countered sharply, “Then why send Cathy’s team to the eastern zone instead of us?”
The leader replied curtly, “Because they don’t care about winning and are slacking off.”
Gerald didn’t miss a beat. “Neither do we.”
Clifford chimed in loudly, “Exactly!”
The leader snapped in frustration, “Do whatever you want. I don’t care.”
As soon as the conversation ended, Gerald turned to his teammates. “What do you all think? Should we stay here grinding points or go help Aria’s team in the east?”
Clifford didn’t hesitate. “Fighting these small fry is boring. The eastern zone must be where the real challenges are–I’d rather go there.”
Mike agreed instantly. “Same here.”
“Let’s follow the lead,” added another teammate.
“Ditto,” Zoey said with a nod.
The six of them swiftly packed their gear and began making their way toward the eastern zone.
Cathy’s team wasn’t moving fast, which drew Weston’s impatience. “At a critical moment like this, you J’ll have every one of you expelled from the State Security Bureau.”

pace. Slack off any more, and
Emily’s fiery temper couldn’t take it anymore. “Why are you yelling? Didn’t you deliberately let them in? We’re already moving as fast as we can. If you’re in such a hurry, why don’t you send us a car?”
With resource packs weighing them down, it was impossible to sprint like athletes in a hundred–foot dash. It wasn’t just a few miles they had to cover, but dozens. One more shout from him and she’d really be ready to quit.
Emily turned to Aria. “I hear everyone saying you’re the boss of some big company. Can I sign up as your bodyguard?”
Aria replied calmly, “Sure.”
Emily grinned instantly, “Then I’m calling dibs.”
Allison raised her hand. “Count me in.”

“Us too,” chimed the others.
Weston was so furious he nearly slammed his equipment.
Seeing enough of the back–and–forth, Tessa took the communicator from him. “Clifford’s team is three miles behind you. You can slow down and wait for them. Stick to your original plan; there’s no need to listen to Weston’s nonsense.”
