384: Strange difficulty

"What?! Over twenty million?!"

The moment he saw the information on the data panel, He Yan's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ah San beside him.

"When did we find something so valuable?! Ah San, did you see it?!"

"You've been holding that tablet the whole time, how would I have seen it?!"

Ah San looked helpless, so he quickly squeezed over, grabbed the tablet with one hand, and stared at the data.

"Five minutes into the game, over twenty-three million! This is going to break another record! Oh my god!"

"Let me see, let me see!"

"Over twenty million? Did you miscount the digits?"

"Holy moly! It really is over twenty million!"

"It's only been five minutes since the start! What did they find this time?!"

"It couldn't be two more africa hearts, could it?!"

...

Following Ah San's exclamation, the other examiners also gathered around.

The moment they saw the numbers displayed on the tablet, everyone was utterly shocked!

"Agents killed: 0... What's going on?"

However.

While everyone was astonished by the value of the supplies Xiao Yun's team had found, He Yan noticed a peculiar piece of data.

Agents killed: 0. Didn't this mean that Song Qiuyun's team wasn't defeated by Xiao Yun?

"If it wasn't them, then what happened?"

He Yan was instantly filled with doubt. There's no way Song Qiuyun's team was killed by bots, right?

One must know, Song Qiuyun was currently the TOP1 on the scavenging leaderboard!

Logically speaking, in the Dam No. 0 map, even if she encountered Said, she would still dominate him, directly obliterating Said in a gunfight.

This was not an exaggeration; He Yan had witnessed it firsthand. Once, due to mission requirements, he and Song Qiuyun teamed up and entered Dam No. 0 on confidential difficulty. As soon as they entered the Administrative Building, they encountered Said, but Song Qiuyun remained calm. She instructed another Bee Doctor teammate to throw a smoke grenade, then listened to the footsteps to predict the opponent's appearance, and pre-fired through the smoke, instantly headshotting Seyid with a full clip.

That scene still made He Yan's scalp tingle when he thought about it!

And precisely because of this, knowing Song Qiuyun's strength, he found it even harder to believe the fact that her team failed to evacuate.

"Examiner He Yan, please put down the tablet and come over here."

Just as He Yan was lost in thought, George, who was nearby, waved at him.

He Yan then handed the tablet with the monitoring data to Ah San beside him and walked towards George.

"What's wrong, General Examiner?"

"Mr. He, have you noticed that this match is very strange?"

"It is indeed very strange, but I feel there are too many strange things, not just one or two. I don't know what kind of strangeness you're referring to?"

"Do you have a feeling that this Eternal Night difficulty Dam No. 0 seems much harder than other level 4 restricted zones of the same rank, even compared to level 3 or 2 restricted zones, it's still more difficult."

George raised an eyebrow, discussing with a very serious expression.

Upon hearing this, He Yan's mind roughly compared the restricted zones of various restriction levels.

Level 4 restriction is the highest difficulty restriction level among medium restriction zones.

Only GTI Professional Agents could enter this level of restricted zone, and George, for some unknown reason, had managed to change the assessment location today, allowing Xiao Yun and his team to enter this level of restricted zone ahead of time.

And judging by the current situation of this match, the Eternal Night difficulty Dam No. 0 seems to have an unusually high death rate.

The match had only been going on for just over five minutes, and five teams had already been eliminated, including Song Qiuyun's team.

"Indeed, this difficulty is too exaggerated. Logically, the difficulty of a level 4 restricted zone shouldn't be this high."

"What could be the reason? What do you think?"

General Examiner George asked.

"I think it might be that the agents aren't used to the night environment. After all, some teams just said that this Eternal Night difficulty isn't just simply dark; it's a true 'Eternal Night,' where you can't see your hand in front of your face, and it's pitch black all around. If you don't bring a gun light, it's very hard to see the surroundings."

He Yan frowned slightly, trying to analyze.

George beside him nodded silently, but the next second, he pulled out a General Examiner exclusive tablet. This tablet integrated data functions and real-time location monitoring functions, though all the data obtained was extracted from the other two tablets.

George pointed to the kill data on it, specifically highlighting the data for soldiers killed, then spoke faintly.

"You're saying, is there a possibility that the reason Dam No. 0 is so difficult under Eternal Night difficulty is because the Asala Soldiers' strength has increased?"

"Indeed, after all, this is said to be one level higher than the normal top-secret difficulty, so the Asala Soldiers inside are probably also one level higher."

"Examiner He, when I say the soldiers inside have become stronger, I don't mean it in the way you're thinking, like their aim is a bit better or their reactions are a bit faster. It's not that simple."

"Then what is it?"

Facing He Yan's confusion, George gave a mysterious, faint smile.

"Is it possible that the Asala Soldiers in Eternal Night Mode have better equipment than the agent teams that just entered?"

"This... how is that possible?"

Upon hearing George's words, He Yan's face was instantly filled with surprise.
