Chapter 189: Pre-Battle Strategy

Almost as soon as the voice sounded, the entire State Pool City Defense Department was brightly lit in the early hours of the morning.

"Hurry!"

"Has the binding card been used properly?"

Ho Yong anxiously looked at Yanning, who was writing the names of Shen Yu, Yanning, and Chu Chang’an on a piece of parchment.

"The binder is Ning Su."

"Done."

"But why haven’t we been teleported yet?"

Yanning looked around in surprise.

They were still in the Defense Department monitoring room.

Outside the room, Chu Chang’an and Ning Su were rushing over.

"Where’s the vice captain?"

Chu Chang’an looked around as if searching for the core figure.

But after a long time, Shen Yu still hadn’t appeared.

"That guy..."

"He’s not still asleep, is he?"

Yanning quickly took out her phone and dialed the number.

"Hello?"

"Hello."

"Shen Yu?"

"Where are you?"

"I’m at home."

"Just woke up."

"What’s up?"

"What do you mean, what’s up?"

"Don’t you know we’re supposed to enter the dungeon at any moment?"

"Aren’t you coming to the meeting room?"

"You’re the team leader!"

"Hey!"

"Don’t panic."

"It’s not like we’ve been teleported yet."

"Let’s talk over the phone."

"I’m a bit tired, so I won’t come to the meeting."

"You..."

The calm yet somewhat tired voice on the other end almost made Yanning snap.

She tightened her grip on the phone.

Then she turned to look at Ho Yong.

"Captain Ho, look at him."

"This Shen Yu might really be dealing with something."

"He’s got some serious issues."

"He’s not just standing in front of a mirror, flying off with a skirt on, is he?"

"He..."

Yanning’s mouth got ahead of her.

She almost said something else.

The whole room suddenly changed their gaze.

Everyone looked at Yanning in unison.

Yanning hurriedly covered her mouth.

She placed the phone on speaker.

"I was just talking nonsense."

"Nonsense!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

Although no one knew why, they still hadn’t been teleported.

But it was fine.

Before entering the dungeon, Ho Yong wanted to say a few words to everyone.

"As we all know, the Feiha team’s attitude has always been arrogant."

"And Shen Yu has offended their vice captain, Mo Han."

"They’ve been matched to our team this time."

"So in the dungeon, there’s bound to be some revenge."

"Our strategy is simple."

"Don’t mess with people if they don’t mess with us."

"If someone from their team has helped us before, we will certainly try to help them clear the dungeon too."

"We’re not afraid of trouble."

"But we won’t start it."

"Understood?"

Ho Yong looked at everyone seriously.

His face was full of earnestness.

The Feiha team had left a bad impression at first because of people like Mo Han.

There were always people who acted arrogantly because of their position.

Even in the State Pool team, there were people like Fu Jia and people like Yuwen Ji.

This was a principle.

"I remember the captain of the Feija squad is Mo Han’s own brother, Mo Xian."

"When he meets Shen Yu, he will definitely do something."

"He might even, as captain, force the team members to do something to you."

"But in a team, there are always clear-headed people."

"Everyone cannot hate the Feiha squad just because of Mo Xian."

"No matter what, everyone is on the same side."

"Protecting Feiha and Jochi City from being invaded is the first priority."

Ho Yong repeatedly emphasized the principle.

On the phone, Shen Yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"I understand what you mean."

"If things really break out, just make sure the opposite squad survives the mission."

"That way, the people of Feiha won’t be dragged into personal grudges."

"That’s what you mean, right?"

The meeting room suddenly fell into a deep silence.

Everyone was smart.

But speaking so directly like this felt a little improper.

"If the other side knows you’re the leader, they should be a little cautious."

"Let’s try for peaceful coexistence this time."

"In my view, this time Lu Xian cooperates with the Jingnan Squad."

"Next time, we can form an alliance with the Jingnan Squad on our side."

"Then we won’t need to be humble to the Feiha Squad."

On the other side of the phone, Shen Yu fell silent again.

He wondered if, back when he had agreed to Long Ao’s conditions, he would still need to worry about these things now.

With the title of Jingbei Squad, who would dare behave recklessly?

"Let’s talk about this dungeon then."

"Evolution Food Company."

"This time, they want us to be company employees."

"Or..."

Shen Yu started speaking.

Just as the atmosphere returned to normal, the solemn system voice suddenly sounded again.

[S-Rank Dungeon: Evolution Food Company is about to start.]

[Dimensional transfer will occur in eight hours.]

The dungeon background unfolded before everyone.

[This dungeon’s background:]

[You are a university graduate who, through online channels, successfully applied for a sales position at Evolution Food Company.]

[However, as a new member of society with ambition, you discover that this company is not as simple as imagined.]

[The 996 work pressure, colleagues transferred at any time, office rules, and different leadership faction struggles all seem like ordinary hidden problems.]

[Yet you always feel this company has untold secrets.]

[S-Rank Dungeon: Evolution Food Company.]

[Completion Conditions:]

[1. Discover the truth of the food company.]

[2. Obtain access to all areas of the food company building.]

[3. Become a true evolver, escape oppression, and escape the company’s control.]

[Complete these conditions to leave the dungeon.]

[Dungeon Participants: Eight.]

[Dungeon Tip: Your true nature is a double-edged sword.]

As the solemn voice suddenly rang out, everyone discussing the dungeon was stunned.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

The previously dark live-stream screen lit up at the same time.

[S-Rank Dungeon — Evolution Food Company]

[Entry Countdown: 6 hours, 33 minutes, 21 seconds.]

"This..."

"So we won’t be sent there until nine in the morning?"

"That corresponds to starting work at nine."

Ho Yong frowned.

This dungeon was too realistic.

"Do you have any opinions?"

He turned toward the few people beside him.

Everyone lowered their heads in thought.

But on the phone, Shen Yu wasn’t speaking.

"No matter how we study it now, not a minute inside the dungeon has passed."

"It’s useless."

"I’ll nap a bit."

"Hey, you!"

Yanning still wanted to say something.

But on the phone, only the sound of the disconnected line remained.

Beep... Beep... Beep...
