Chapter 64
A Temporary Solution
"What? The prison map is opening again?"
Inside the Bald Eagle Society's underground laboratory, several research experts informed Anderson of the latest portal detection results.
The Tidal Prison opened once yesterday and will open again today.
Such a situation is extremely rare, and even the top clubs did not anticipate it.
The Bald Eagles Association is now in a precarious position because other clubs are unwilling to enter the Tide Prison.
The three members of the Bald Eagle Squad are still readjusting their brain-computer interfaces after the previous battle, which was disrupted by EMP, and they need a long period of rest.
The continuous opening of the Tidal Prison has made Anderson somewhat uneasy.
"Why is this happening?" Anderson asked the testing expert.
The testing expert shook his head and said, "The situation is unclear at the moment, but it is certain that the Tidal Prison will reopen today."
"And those three..." Anderson looked into the glass room and saw three people lying on the hospital bed, their bodies covered in tubes. His tone was slow for a moment.
"Are those three still able to play today?"
"It's not looking good," the expert said, turning his gaze to the hospital bed.
"The continuous high-intensity combat had already exhausted their bodies, and their brain-computer interface and combat support systems were then subjected to high-intensity electromagnetic pulses of unknown origin."
"If we force them to enter dangerous areas to fight today, the consequences will be unacceptable."
Anderson's hands, pressed against the glass wall, slowly clenched. Was all the prestige he had painstakingly built up going to be lost this time?
"Manager Anderson, I have a suggestion."
"You say it." Anderson turned his head and looked at the young man behind him who had been newly selected by him to replace Miles.
"Those who successfully evacuated during the last dangerous operation all reaped considerable benefits."
"But several people died inside the prison and were not evacuated."
"Since the other top clubs are unwilling to enter Tide Prison with us, why don't we just send in casual players this time?"
"This way, we three brain-computer interface operators can get some more rest, and we can also maintain our club's reputation."
Anderson chuckled and said, "I thought this young man could come up with some good ideas."
"That won't work. The moment the major clubs find out we won't be participating in this dangerous operation, they'll send their teams into Tidal Prison."
"This will do us no good; it will only hand over the reputation we have built up to others."
"Those club agents are just afraid of our brain-computer interface technology. If these three don't participate, they will definitely seize the opportunity to take over our interests."
The young man stepped forward and continued, "We just need to sell the information to individual investors and small clubs, just like last time."
"We'll release the news to the outside world that we'll also send John's team, the team that the outside world suspects of using cheats."
"Anyway, we're entering today, so other clubs won't have time to verify the authenticity of our information."
"Let's just send in any other squad and let them search around as they please."
"By the time they realize what's happening, the operation is over. When the prison reopens, John and his team will go in again and reclaim our dominance!"
Anderson's eyes lit up. He knew that this plan was indeed feasible, or rather, the only way to balance both sides.
but……
Anderson remained silent, his gaze fixed on his own reflection behind the glass wall.
If nothing goes wrong, Anderson certainly has nothing to fear.
The real fear is that if a major blunder occurs, Anderson will once again be forced into a corner with no way out.
He didn't want to gamble with his life.
"Supervisor, please allow me to issue and execute this action and announcement."
The young man bowed slightly behind Anderson, his tone sincere.
Anderson turned around, looked at the young man's slight bow, and couldn't help but smile. "Very good, Cooper. You handle this operation."
"Yes, Supervisor Anderson."
......
"Who are you? Why aren't you John's team?"
In the plaza in front of the portal, three Bald Eagle operators stood in front of the portal.
The recent prison raids have garnered significant attention and buzz online, but individual players and small clubs haven't shown the same level of enthusiasm for participation.
The reason is actually quite easy to explain: the last operation had just ended, and a new operation was about to begin.
The general public was unsure whether there were any new changes, and most remained in a wait-and-see attitude.
So only 6 individual players came this time. Including the 3 members of the Bald Eagle Squad, there were only 3 teams in total.
"Hmph! What's the difference between our team and John's team?" the captain of the Bald Eagle team said disdainfully.
"It's more than enough to take you bunch of lousy bastards in for a quick look around. Look at your tattered clothes, stop being so picky."
The man was speechless for a moment, his face flushed, and he was about to continue arguing with him when he was pulled back by another person next to him.
"Hey buddy, alright, alright, don't bother with him. We're still waiting for them to feed us in prison. Offending them won't do us any good."
After hearing this, the man angrily shook off his arm and fell silent.
"Huh? Captain, you mean we're suddenly in this prison map? What's going on? Wasn't this area John's team responsible for?"
"Pshaw, they're nothing. Just because they used six fully modified sets of weapons and an AWM, they got some results and think they're invincible."
"Give me the same equipment, and I can do it too," the captain of the Bald Eagle squad said disdainfully, his eyes practically rolling to the sky.
"With the prisons opening one after another, why did John's team say they wanted to rest today?"
"Perfect timing! This gives the three of us a chance. If we hold on tight and do a good job, maybe we'll be in charge of the Tide Prison area in the future."
The Bald Eagle Squad looked at their level 4 protective gear and their partially modified M4A1s. It would be a lie to say they weren't envious of John's Squad's equipment.
"Anyway, we don't need to enter the core area. As long as we don't run into the warden and his men, we can just wander around the perimeter of the prison and be careful."
The portal began to ripple, and the black mist slowly dissipated.
After the three members of the Bald Eagle Squad recited the rules for entering the Tidal Prison again, the portal officially opened.
After the three of them entered the portal,
"Damn it, I feel like I've been tricked," one of the casual players muttered.
The six lone warriors exchanged glances and then followed into the portal.
