429: The seventh team

“There won't be seven teams in this match, will there?”

As soon as Xiao Yun spoke, the few people present were stunned.

“It's possible if there are seven teams at Dam No. 0, but it's a bit unlikely for Dam No. 0 to have seven teams.”

“I've heard of matches where the number of teams exceeded the normal value, but that mostly happened in Confidential Aerospace. I haven't heard of it happening at Dam No. 0.”

“Brother, why would you say that?”

Everyone was confused, wondering how Xiao Yun had deduced this.

However, what they didn't realize was that Xiao Yun felt there were seven teams in this match not because he inferred it from clues, but because he saw it with his own eyes!

At this moment, Xiao Yun's mind stirred, and he used his Destiny Skill again.

Once the image appeared, he didn't hesitate and quickly switched perspectives to check the status of the other teams.

Sure enough, in the image, besides their two teams, there were three other teams currently searching the map!

One team was in the Large Substation, one had just come out of the Small Substation and was heading towards the wilderness, and another team was in the Visitor Center.

To prevent them from splitting up, Xiao Yun specifically counted the number of people. All three of these teams indeed had three people each.

This meant that with Xiao Yun's two teams, and the two teams they had just killed in the Administrative District, there were still three teams on the field. Adding them up, there were a total of seven teams in this match!

And according to Xiao Yun's experience, the situation of seven teams appearing at Dam No. 0 could only mean one thing...

mandel brick!

If following the rules of the game in his previous life, if a mandel brick appeared on the map, there was a high probability that an extra team would be added to the map.

However, in this world where everyone was running knives, Xiao Yun had never heard any information related to mandel bricks, nor was he sure if this thing had ever appeared in this world.

After all, in the game of his previous life, this thing was used to draw weapon skins.

In this real restricted zone world, he couldn't imagine what use this thing could have, and coupled with the fact that there was no information about mandel bricks online, Xiao Yun initially thought this thing didn't exist.

However.

After Xiao Yun upgraded his family heirloom dagger to max level, he found that he could continue to upgrade it using mandel bricks!

And using mandel bricks as a material was less like an upgrade and more like an advancement or an awakening.

It didn't affect the family heirloom's attributes but allowed it to gain new special abilities!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun also began to take mandel bricks seriously.

This thing was not something that could be bought with money.

If there was a chance, Xiao Yun would definitely not let it go!

“You should have been GTI Professionals for a while now.”

Xiao Yun frowned slightly and asked the three Bee Doctor.

“I'm alright, this should be my 12th year as a Professional. I don't know about them.”

“Eight years for me, and he should also be eight years. Why are you suddenly asking this?”

The three Bee Doctor expressed their confusion.

And Xiao Yun nodded upon hearing their training duration.

From their ages, they were all around forty years old, which perfectly matched the professional duration they mentioned.

However, it might be because they had been full-time knife runners in the restricted zone for a long time and had not worked in society, so their speech was relatively youthful.

Calling Xiao Yun “brother, brother” constantly, one would think they had just come of age!

And since they had been Professionals for so long, and all three had completed their job changes and could come to this Level 2 restricted zone, they were considered upper-middle class among GTI Professional agents.

They might have heard a little something about mandel bricks.

So, Xiao Yun continued to ask.

“Have you... have you heard of something called a mandel brick?”

Xiao Yun originally wanted to be more subtle, but then he thought it was too troublesome, so he asked directly.

He originally thought that once this term appeared, the other party should react strongly.

However, to his surprise, upon hearing the name mandel brick, the three people in front of him all had blank expressions.

“mandel brick? What's that? A new collectible?”

“I don't know, never heard of it? Is it new material in night mode?”

“I only know about the mandel supercomputing unit. It should be similar to that, right?”

Seeing the three people's confused expressions, Xiao Yun's tightly furrowed brows did not relax.

“You haven't even heard of it?”

The three nodded.

“That shouldn't be...”

Seeing this, Xiao Yun's heart was also filled with doubt.

Logically, the situation of seven teams appearing at Dam No. 0 could only mean that a mandel brick had appeared.

But these three people, who had some seniority in GTI, had never even heard of this thing, which made the probability very small.

Could it be that this thing truly didn't exist in the restricted zones of this world?

This was very strange. If so, wouldn't the family heirloom be unable to continue upgrading after reaching level 100?

Since mandel bricks couldn't be obtained, why would the system deliberately mention this thing?

“Xiao Yun, what is a mandel brick?”

At this moment, Liu Shihhan, hearing this term, was also curious.

“Could it be a new high-value big red that appeared in the restricted zone?”

“It shouldn't be. Every time GTI discovers new materials in the restricted zone, they should immediately update the illustration book. But I've memorized the entire illustration book and haven't seen this thing?”

Lu Xueqing, behind the two, also said in confusion.

“It's alright. If you haven't heard of it, then you haven't heard of it. Let's talk about the next plan.”

Regarding whether bricks would spawn, Xiao Yun didn't expect to get an answer immediately.

If a mandel brick appeared in the restricted zone of this match, then there should also be corresponding broken stations.

According to the rules of the restricted zones in this world, Xiao Yun speculated that if a mandel brick appeared, there shouldn't just be two broken stations, but all places on the entire map where broken stations would refresh should appear, just like large and small free insurance and computers.

Therefore, to know whether bricks spawned in this match, Xiao Yun only needed to go to any broken station location later and check.

If bricks didn't spawn, Xiao Yun didn't care.

But if bricks did spawn, then sorry, Xiao Yun had to ruthlessly kick people this round.

“Hmm... it seems I have to ruthlessly kick people even if bricks don't spawn.”

Xiao Yun scratched his side waist, realizing that his worrying about these things was meaningless.

Kick people, must ruthlessly kick people!

And the fact that seven teams somehow entered this match also gave him an opportunity to farm data.

As long as he eliminated the remaining three teams in this match, the next matches would be much easier.

He wouldn't have to constantly run knives himself and worry about others fighting and losing people.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun also smiled faintly, then looked in the direction of the Large Substation.

“Let's go, I'll take you to clear the map!”
