With 23 minutes remaining until the next treasure chest respawn, the team divided the work and tried to clear out all the empty chests before they respawned.
Besides Team 2333, there were 19 other teams remaining. It was impossible for them to notify each team individually, given their limited manpower. So, they split up and adopted a snowballing approach: first notifying one team, then having that team notify the others. Using this method, the news about collecting empty boxes quickly spread to everyone.
The propaganda team sprang into action immediately, and the others weren't idle either. After Gu Xi selected the materials to make the Water Elemental Cannon, she opened the crafting interface and began making it. Then, she took Xu Lulu to collect treasure chests.
Xu Lulu, true to her lucky streak, was incredibly accurate with every single treasure chest she opened. With Gu Xi's help, the two quickly unearthed numerous treasure chests.
The survivors secretly observed Team 2333's entire operation from the shadows. Watching them leave the camp one by one, Team Member Number 3 nervously asked Li Tianhao, "Brother Hao, what are they doing? Are they coming to settle scores with me?"
Li Tianhao glared at him irritably, "They're not coming after you, but I am."
Team member number 3 remained silent, pursing his lips. Just then, team member number 2 exclaimed softly, "Squad 2333 has someone here!"
When Team Member #2 shouted, the other members looked over and immediately saw someone flying menacingly toward them.
This person was Lorraine. Since learning from Gu Xi during the last event, he had acquired the skill of flying. After returning home, he practiced diligently and was finally able to step onto his weapon.
Not only him, but anyone who has seen Gu Xi operate this technique wants to learn it. Now, every member of the old 2333 team knows it.
Lorraine flew upwards with his usual expressionless face, his eyes devoid of warmth as he looked at the survivor squad.
Feeling his gaze, the survivors' team felt a chill run down their spines. They felt that his aura was clearly there to cause trouble.
But they really misunderstood Lorraine. He was actually just calm and collected, not at all like the survivors thought—the calm before the storm.
The team camp is within an absolutely safe zone, and other team members are not allowed to enter. Therefore, Lorraine can only fly outside the camp and communicate with the survivor team.
Lorraine cleared his throat and shouted, "Friends from District 2333, I am a member of Team 2333. I would like to ask you for a favor."
At this moment, the survivor team members all gathered around Li Tianhao.
So you weren't here to cause trouble after all~
For some reason, Li Tianhao felt a sense of relief. Since the other party had made their intentions clear, he naturally had to respond generously.
Li Tianhao remained calm and composed. "What do you want?"
While the two were talking, the others remained silent, trembling with fear.
Lorraine briefly told Li Tianhao about the matter, and Li Tianhao replied that he needed to discuss it with the team members.
Time was of the essence, and Lorraine couldn't wait for the survivors' team to reply, so after giving some instructions, he hurriedly left for the next camp.
As soon as Lorraine left, the members of the survivor team surrounded her.
Teammate #1: "Boss, what do you think? Should we go?"
Team member #2: "But we only have a dozen minutes left, it's too late."
Li Tianhao: "We have to do it even if there's no time. There are 48 hours to go, and only a dozen or so hours have passed. Do you really want to open 10 boxes and have 9 of them empty?" Finally, Li Tianhao added, "Even if we don't have time this time, we should be able to get rid of the empty boxes before the next refresh."
Li Tianhao knew very well that everyone was responsible for this incident, and no one could escape blame. As long as everyone worked together to dispose of the empty boxes, there would be no need to worry about anyone revealing team member number 3, and the matter of settling scores later would be over.
