Just as everyone was admiring this set of high-end weapons during their break, the broadcast in the training room suddenly sounded.
Not only in the training room of Team 25, but in every room in the entire training area, even in the bathroom and toilet, the radio was blaring at the same time:
"I am now broadcasting an important notice. After five days of review, the quarantine of the first exploration team has ended. There are no signs of mutation or contamination on their bodies.
"Their success proves that the monsters outside the city are not invincible. Although they are indeed very dangerous, we humans and our super-powered people still have the strength to fight.
"Therefore, the parliament has passed a resolution today to award the first-class Medal of Hope to the five members of the first exploration team: Nian, Bomber, Quicksand, Sprawling, and Gecko. Their names will be remembered in the history of Hope City.
"At the same time, because of their success, the exploration plan will continue. The teams shortlisted for the second batch of exploration are announced below. The team names are temporarily replaced by the captain's code name. Please pass on the selected super-powered people. The following ranking is divided according to the original team ranking:
"The original 8th team [Jin Mo], the 12th team [Crush], the 13th team [Bai Shi], the 17th team [Wind Blade], the 25th team [Fresnel], the 32nd team [Tower]..."
Upon hearing that their team had been selected, the members of the Fresnel team who had just gathered together were not as happy as they had imagined.
It seems that everyone wants to be chosen, but at the same time, they don’t seem to want to be chosen.
Of course, not all teams are as strong and comprehensive as Nian's Sixth Team.
By the same token, their safe return does not mean that the selected second batch of teams will be able to return safely.
Being selected is indeed a recognition, but it can also be a death warrant.
No one heard the subsequent broadcast clearly. In the end, Fresnel was the first to speak in the silence of everyone:
"This is exactly what we want. If there is no beast tide in the near future, the second phase of exploration is expected to begin in mid-October. After all, it will take time for the research institute to process the samples brought back by the first exploration team.
“This period of time is neither long nor short, but there is one thing we all know clearly: the harder we train now, the more likely we are to come back alive after leaving the city.
“That’s all I have to say. Keep going, everyone.”
Fresnel clapped his hands to indicate that he had nothing more to say.
Seeing that no one else objected or took any other action, he turned and left, heading to his own training area.
With enhanced vision equipment, Fresnel can now control the thickness of his light beam better than before.
The focusing ability at 400 meters was once again compressed to the thickness of a pencil. During this period of time, he was constantly trying to break through.
He knew that the team would inevitably have to endure the night outside the city, and even if he used his maximum power on a moonlit night, it would only be a large flashlight.
This is an essential defect in ability, and it is almost impossible to make up for it.
If the super-powered person who could glow was stronger, maybe Fresnel would really choose him, but unfortunately there is no if.
Precisely because of this awareness, he has to constantly strengthen his training, striving to be able to replace two or even three teammates during the day.
This will allow them to save energy and have more strength to fight at night when they don't have their main output.
And now the City of Hope is waiting for a beast tide.
Taking the average of previous beast tide cycles, a beast tide should occur within the next half month.
After this beast tide, the second exploration team will set out from Hope City.
The main reason for this arrangement is to avoid embarrassing and dangerous situations like the super power team encountering a tide of beasts.
Without the help of the city walls and the city defense forces, it would be difficult for a small team of super-powered people to survive the surging tide of beasts.
Even if forty percent of the beast tide are only first-level exotic beasts.

"He's quite courageous."
After hearing Fran's report, Lin Qingliu developed some genuine respect for Luke, who was in some sense an enemy.
At least his belief is not just lip service; a truly ruthless person would dare to stab himself.
"Master, what do you think? Do you want to..."
Watching Lin Qingliu fall into deep thought, Fran suddenly felt that she seemed to have seen this scene somewhere. Yes, it was the last time she was monitoring Shi Jin.
The master thought about it like this for a while, and then Shi Jin became a believer, oh no, he became a member of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.
"I'm still thinking about it... I have to say, his character is indeed rare, and... I owe his father a favor."
Lin Qingliu did not hide his intention from Fulan and spoke his mind.
Although Fran is almost indistinguishable from humans in terms of intelligence, similar to [Tianmu], they are not true humans in any way.
Therefore, Lin Qingliu would sometimes refer to Fulan's ideas on some issues. After all, their perspective on the problem is different from his own.
"Eh? Do we really have to do this? I feel like that guy is hostile to us."
Fran sat obediently on the table, muttering to herself.
Lin Qingliu disagreed and said calmly:
"He is now full of hostility towards the world. At least I am willing to tell him the truth. Even if he wants revenge, he will not take revenge on us."
"Okay, Fran got it. What should I do now? Should I go hunting again?"
Hearing Fran's question, Lin Qingliu's mouth twitched. This abstract kitten really likes to rummage through the trash can...
Since returning from the last wild trip, Lin Qingliu asked Fulan what she had learned, so the cat performed twenty common ways of transforming household waste for her owner in the clinic.
If Lin Qingliu hadn't strictly prohibited it, Fran would even be able to imitate that half-rotten, half-fermented mixed smell.
"Flan, being a jungler is not the goal, the goal is to improve your level...
"You've been out there honing your skills for so long, do you feel like you're about to make a breakthrough?"
Fran thought carefully for a while and replied:
“I can feel that there is a barrier, but I can’t figure out how to break through it for now.
"My imitation of things still seems to be superficial..."
"Well, it's good that you know. Go find a way. You have to rely on yourself in this regard."
Fran nodded, and very skillfully jumped onto the windowsill, preparing to jump down.
"Wait, take this."
Lin Qingliu suddenly called her.
Fran turned her head and saw her master taking out a pendant that was difficult to understand from a jar.
"Here, I'll give you a present."
