333: Investigation

"General Examiner! They've got kill data!"

"What? They killed other teams?"

General Examiner George was instantly excited upon hearing this information.

Just moments ago, the assessment had entered a few minutes of calm.

This was the period when Xiao Yun, Lu Xueqing, and Liu Shihhan searched the Buoyancy Room and the Centrifuge Room. Although they found many high-value materials, compared to the previous 'ten million per jump,' the examiners were no longer as shocked.

Therefore, the examiners no longer gathered around the data monitoring tablet but went about their own business.

But at this moment, the examiner monitoring the data reported unusual news.

This time, it wasn't a change in material value, but a change in kill status!

"Exam ID: 00019302"

"Assessment Location: Dragon Country"

"Match Count: 2 / 10"

"Team Members: Xiao Yun, Liu Shihhan, Lu Xueqing"

"Match Duration: 00:05:22"

"Kills in this match: 7 Regular Soldiers, 4 Elite Soldiers, 0 BOSS Enemies, 3 Operatives"

"Material Value in this match: 23,269,449"

"AI Compatibility: 62.52%"

"Evacuation Probability: 50.32%"

Sure enough.

After 5 minutes into the match, the operative kill count on the data panel finally changed!

Xiao Yun's trio had finally eliminated a team, and it happened almost simultaneously, with all three enemy members wiped out!

The examiners found it hard to imagine what shocking events had occurred in the Forbidden Zone!

"Holy cow! They wiped out an entire team directly?"

"Where were they when they got the kills?"

"They were... their positions were very spread out. Player One was on the overpass, while Players Two and Three were at the lever-pulling point in the Centrifuge Room."

"What? So that location information means they either two-v-three'd a team or one-v-three'd a team??"

"How is that possible? One-v-three again? This Xiao Yun is too terrifying!"

"No, I don't think it's necessarily him. Didn't those two girls wear five sets this round? It's possible they encountered a team."

"That's true. After all, Xiao Yun didn't bring any equipment this round, just a chest rig and a backpack. It's highly likely those two girls got the kills."

"I wouldn't be so sure. Think about it, didn't Xiao Yun bring nothing last match either?"

...

The examiners discussed animatedly.

Listening to their discussion, Dragon Country's examiner He Yan's smile was as hard to suppress as an AK, wanting to laugh but fearing to be too ostentatious and displease others.

Especially after seeing the expressions of Ogota Ishi and Park Gwacheon, which looked like they had eaten something foul, He Yan felt even more refreshed inside.

This feeling... it was too exhilarating!

It should be known that, according to the tradition of GTI Professional assessments, previous professional assessments were basically hosted by each country independently.

This was the first time in history that more than a dozen national examiners mixed to supervise.

GTI Headquarters' explanation was that this team was quite special, with data far exceeding the norm, reaching an unprecedented level, and very possibly, an unrepeatable one.

Therefore, both GTI Headquarters and Dragon Country GTI attached great importance to Xiao Yun's team.

However.

For GTI staff from other countries, this was not good news.

The strongest treasure-hunting team in history appeared in Dragon Country, what did that mean?

It meant that the future pricing power of big red materials would be firmly in Dragon Country's hands!

It should be known that ever since the Forbidden Zone descended into the real world, the strongest team in history was the "Alloy" squad from Lighthouse Country.

At that time, since the Forbidden Zone had just appeared and GTI had just arrived on Blue Star to establish an organization, operatives from various countries were still exploring it.

And it was in this wild era that the Alloy squad, in their very first month of formation, actually brought out the first red-quality material from the Forbidden Zone!

Their strength, if placed in the present, might only be at the level of ordinary professionals, but when the Forbidden Zone had just descended into reality, compared to others, they were like gods!

They set many historical records: the first to bring out big red materials, the first to unlock top-secret difficulty, the first ten-million-dollar evacuation...

For a long time, the Alloy squad continuously supplied the real world with high-tech, high-value big red materials, bringing Lighthouse Country nearly 20 years of a golden age.

It was also because of the emergence of this team that Lighthouse Country became the world's leading Forbidden Zone nation.

Although currently, Dragon Country has already caught up in various aspects, with data surpassing Lighthouse Country in recent years, because Dragon Country has not yet seen the emergence of a groundbreaking team like the Alloy squad, its overall influence is still not as great as Lighthouse Country's.

In this world where everyone runs knives, the impact of a top-tier strong team on the world economy is just that exaggerated!

And now.

This kind of team, capable of changing the entire world, is very likely to appear in Dragon Country!

"Well done! As expected of Xiao Yun, he really brought honor to our Dragon Country GTI!"

And at this moment, a burst of excited shouting came through He Yan's headphones.

The voice was old yet vigorous, clearly very hoarse, but without a gasping feeling, instead, it was very deep.

And as someone who could know the assessment data at this time, this person was clearly a high-ranking figure in Dragon Country GTI.

"He Yan, although their achievements are exciting, you must be careful. Perhaps enemies are already stirring. As a member of Dragon Country GTI, and as an examiner for this assessment, you must be cautious."

"I understand."

He Yan sighed deeply; the other party's sudden words also put pressure on him again.

That's right, the dangers Xiao Yun and his team were about to face were not just within the Forbidden Zone.

And what he could do was to stabilize all factors outside the Forbidden Zone, preventing any possibility of accidents.

Thinking of this, his gaze swept towards Park Gwacheon and Ogota Ishi beside him.

If anyone was most likely to affect Xiao Yun and his team in this assessment, it was probably these two who had been at odds with him from the start.

Thinking of this, He Yan quickly manipulated his headphones, and an invisible camera suddenly activated.

After taking pictures of the two, He Yan sent them to the elder who had just reminded him to be cautious.

"Teacher Xie, can you check if you can find information on these two?"

......

"Current Location: Aerospace Base - Drop-off Evacuation Point."

"Current Match Loot Rate: Top Secret"

"Current Game End Time: 23 minutes 43 seconds"

"Hint: Please complete evacuation before time runs out!"

Inside the Forbidden Zone.

Xiao Yun finished searching the equipment left by the three people in the Horizontal Test Chamber; all three had four-piece sets and hip-firing MP5s.

However, since his backpack and chest rig were already filled with big red items in this match, there was nothing worth picking up from these inferior pieces of equipment.

"Prepare to evacuate."

Saying that, Xiao Yun was just about to return to the overpass.

At this time, Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing had already finished searching and were waiting for him on the bridge.

In this match, since there were already two teams in the Core Area, and the Blue Room team had no intention of pulling the lever, Xiao Yun did not plan to evacuate via lever-pulling, but instead intended to perform an Ascendant operation.

He was also looking forward to what good things would be opened in the rocket capsule of the Ascendant operation if Lu Xueqing were to open it.

It couldn't be another heart, or another barrel of oil, could it?

However, after only two steps, Xiao Yun suddenly turned back.

Thinking of what the team camping at the evacuation point had just said, he had some guesses, so he picked up the three people's dog tags.
