"After this, the three of them only need to wait for the intermediate competition to finish before they can go to the headquarters building to report for duty with the other qualified players."

After saying that, Yin didn't intend to stay any longer. As he walked to the door, he suddenly turned back to look at Yun.

Lin Xi suddenly felt uneasy, and then she remembered that when she used her mental abilities just now, Yin seemed to have seen it.

Is he going to expose this now?

Wouldn't that make me seem suspicious of having ulterior motives? If someone traced me back and discovered I had the zombie virus, wouldn't I be treated as an outsider?

Underneath the heavy clothes, her limbs began to tremble involuntarily.

"The new members you recruited this time are quite good."

Lin Xi looked up in surprise. That's all?

Didn't he notice? Or perhaps he was standing too far away to see clearly?

Although Yun found his words inexplicable, she knew that what he said was indeed true.

Given time, it's hard to say whether the Blazing Fire Gang or the Wind Eagle Gang will be stronger.

The door closed, and Lin Xi finally felt relieved.

"Isn't Yue Chi and the others participating in this intermediate-level competition?" Chen Jin suddenly asked.

Upon hearing the unfamiliar name, Yun couldn't help but look at him. "Yue Chi? Who is that?"

"They are new friends we met here."

Yun nodded. "Since you are new friends, I won't interfere too much. However, our mission is secret and cannot tolerate any mistakes. You must keep these things strictly confidential from others."

The group nodded.

They all knew that this mission was of great importance, so naturally they wouldn't tell anyone outside the mission.

Since the news of their advancement was confirmed by several directors, they have met with several groups of people sent by different directors to lobby them.

This gave Lin Xi more opportunities to spend time with her parents.

Lin Xi held her mother's cold hand, reluctant to let go.

"Dad, why don't you find an excuse to leave in the next few days, get out of here, and never come back?"

Mr. Lin shook his head, somewhat helplessly, "I'm still under their close surveillance, and I can't leave for the time being. I can only look for an opportunity later."

Lin Xi thought for a moment. Although they couldn't leave now, they could create chaos and take the opportunity to retreat once they had enough evidence. With that in mind, she looked at her father with a determined gaze and said, "It's okay, I'll take you with me when the time comes."

Lin Xi's mother's fingers had an abnormally white tinge.

Lin Xi suddenly remembered the text message her mother had sent her in the last moments of her life. Seeing her mother in front of her with lifeless eyes and no independent consciousness, she couldn't help but recall her mother touching her head and smiling gently.

My nose tingled with emotion.

"After we get out of here, we'll heal Mom, find my brother, and then our family will stop getting involved in these disputes. We'll find a small village and live a secluded life together."

"Okay." Lin's father said with loving eyes.

"Does Mom still lose control now?"

Lin's father shook his head. "It's much more stable now. My superpower has reached level seven, and everything is completely under control. You don't need to worry too much."

"Now that my superpower is already at level seven, can't I get rid of them?"

Lin's father shook his head. "Two fists can't beat four legs. They have cultivated too many forces in secret. There are dozens of people selected through the arena alone, most of whom are at least at the level of level one."

Lin Xi did some mental calculations. They now had two level fours and three level fives. She heard that Yun had already reached level six after she left the Wind Eagle Group, and her father and Yin were level seven.

Not to mention those selected through the arena, it's still unknown how many talents they've secretly cultivated behind the scenes. Escaping unscathed would indeed be quite difficult.

On the surface, Yin and Lin's father are working for Old Li, but in the eyes of others, their presence here naturally represents Old Li's stance.

However, Yin and Lin's father were indeed instructed by Elder Li to win over this group of newcomers, especially after everyone heard that they had actually defeated Lin Huan and Jiang Wen, who were at the sixth level of superpowers.

Everyone instantly understood why they were coming here so frequently.

After all, who doesn't want talented people?

However, later on, the people under the other eight directors also started coming here more and more frequently, so their behavior seemed less abrupt.

The weather is gradually warming up.

The intermediate-level competition has finally come to a close.

Of the eight players who advanced, five survived, while three others died from serious injuries after returning from the competition.

Strangely enough, the people behind the carefully selected talents were unwilling to send even a single healing-type ability user to treat them.

Including Lin Xi and the other two, there were still eight people going to the headquarters building this time.

This time, they got their wish and saw Yue Chi again, but only Yue Chi was there.

"Yue Chi!" Chen Jin waved and greeted him from afar.

Yue Chi no longer looked drowsy as usual, but instead glanced at them indifferently.

"Where are the others?"

After asking that question, Chen Jin approached and noticed Yue Chi's unusual behavior, instantly holding his breath.

His aura today was particularly intimidating.

"Dead." After saying this, Yue Chi didn't wait for them and followed the others into the building.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chuan frowned as he looked at his strange expression.

Upon hearing his words, Chen Jin froze on the spot, muttering to himself in disbelief, "So many people died in the intermediate-level competition?"

"Let's go first," Lin Xi patted his arm as a reminder.

Chen Jin finally came to his senses. Today was the day of assignment, and they had come with a mission. They couldn't be distracted. If they chose the wrong person, their investigation would become complicated.

After clearing their minds of distractions, Chen Jin and Jiang Chuan followed.

During this time, Yue Chi was not as cheerful as before. Instead, he was like a walking corpse, leaning against the cold wall, staring blankly at the ground, without saying a word.

A young man in a suit and tie came out and looked at them. "There are nine rooms in total. The names of all the directors are on the rooms. I believe you have all received many offers these past few days. This time, the choice is entirely up to you. Please proceed."

After saying this, he bowed gracefully and left the stage.

Lin Xi's target is Old Liu.

I heard that he was the one who cultivated the secret forces, so that Lin Xi could easily take stock of their hidden strength after they infiltrated.

Jiang Chuan is going to Old Zhao's place. He will be in full charge of the armory, and he will need to find an opportunity to sneak into the warehouse to take inventory.

Old Li had money, but Yun decided to let Chen Jin go with him.

After all, they usually visit so frequently, it would be suspicious if they didn't choose any of them.

Besides Elder Yang, there are a few others who rarely appear in public. Yun decided to take it one step at a time and see how things go.
