Night.

Within the human territory.

The east, an unknown primeval forest.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom—"

The sound of a massive object crashing down, like a meteor shower, rang out.

Amid the dust and smoke, it turned out to be the speeding Transcendents from the "Diplomatic Squad," landing from the trees.

"Cough... cough cough..." a man in armor covered his mouth and nose, looked up, and watched his teammates jumping down one after another, and roared, "Lighten up! Are you setting off fireworks?"

Afterwards, the remaining Transcendents slowed down their momentum and gently floated down from the treetops.

A group of masters of grade E or higher, fully exerting their power, looked like they could easily demolish a forest...

"Plop."

The young man with a duckbill cap, trailing at the rear of the team, naturally was the last to land, waving his hand to give orders, "We'll stop here for the day. Team one, start a fire, team two, hunt, team three, set up camp, teams four and five, stand by on site."

"Yes."

The team members acted swiftly.

Chen Yu then patted off the dust from his body, turned around and asked, "Which team am I in?"

The young man said, "You're in team five. Did you not listen to a word I said while we were on the move?"

Chen Yu pointed to a plump neighbor, "Me, you, Li Yao, we are in team five. Those who agree with me being the team leader, raise your hand.

As he spoke, Chen Yu raised his hand.

The plump neighbor blinked and raised his too.

"What about you, beauty?" Chen Yu looked towards Li Yao.

The girl in the corner, expressionless, took out a bottle of mineral water from her small backpack, wet a handkerchief, and busied herself with wiping the dust off her face and neck.

Completely ignoring him.

"Okay, two to one, I reluctantly accept the position of team leader." Chen Yu immediately issued an order, "Li Yao, hand me a bottle of water too."

The girl paused, looked up, and coldly stared at Chen Yu, "You really annoy me."

Chen Yu: "... I just bloody want a bottle of water!"

The girl: "I don't have any."

Chen Yu: "The one in your hand will do."

The girl: "I won't give it."

"Yu!" The plump neighbor enthusiastically pulled out a bottle from his backpack, "I have one here."

Chen Yu: "I don't want it."

The plump neighbor: "..."

"Chen Yu." From the back of the line, the young man with a duckbill cap sighed, "If you really have nothing to do, help team one gather some dry wood."

All the members present were Transcendents.

The efficiency of their actions naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Within less than ten minutes, a large bonfire had been lit.

The temporary camp was also set up.

The three Transcendents from team two even each brought a bear on their shoulders, serving as dinner for everyone.

"Everyone, gather around." The young man with the duckbill cap sat down by the bonfire, opened his backpack, poured out a pile of items, and tossed them to everyone one by one: "Catch, three boxes of compressed military rations each. For emergency use. In case you find yourself in a place where food is scarce, it could save your life."

"What about water?" The long-haired man who had been silent for a while suddenly asked.

"Sort it out yourselves." The young man looked up at the long-haired man, "I didn't bring a single bottle."

"What if we are trapped in a place lacking both food and water?"

"In a pinch, you can drink your own urine," a woman with wavy hair sitting in the corner looked up and smiled, "Kid, haven't you ever been on a mission? Oh, I remember now, you just graduated from your assessment yesterday. Ha, welcome to the new world."

The long-haired man frowned, glanced at her, and said no more.

"Who knows how to process the food?" One of the Transcendents from team two placed the carcass of a black bear heavily by the fire. "How do we handle this thing?"

"First, skin it," someone spoke up, "then cut it open along the joints, thread it on sticks, and it's ready to roast."

tplib., hungry, directly pulled out a slender "canine teeth" from his backpack and swiftly, yet expertly, made a few horizontal sweeps!

Three black bears.

Instantly chopped into a hundred pieces on the spot.

Everyone: "..."

"Damn it."

Afar, the armored strong man who saw everything muttered through clenched teeth, "During the field competition, those two aliens buried in the ground, it was definitely his doing!"

The young man with the duckbill cap approached, his eyes slightly narrowed, "Counting them, he has killed at least ten aliens."

From the results alone.

Such a "Chen Yu" could not help but be suspected of being a lackey for the "Evil Beings."

An army of over ten thousand Evil Beings, scheming deeply and sacrificing everyone, had managed to kill only a handful of aliens.

Chen Yu alone had killed ten!

Terrifying as such.

It's possible that even without the "Evil Beings Attack," the aliens would have been provoked into declaring war...

"Keep a closer watch on him," the deputy team leader with a duckbill cap ordered.

"Okay." The team leader, the armored strong man, promptly obeyed.

After a moment, the strong man turned and asked, "Your Highness, it's just early night, and we could travel a lot further. Why camp so early? Time is pressing."

"This trip won't go smoothly," the young man with a duckbill cap whispered, "While we're still within our borders and have the support of our compatriots, let's flush out the potential 'traitor' first."

"A traitor?!" The strong man was startled, quickly scanning the people by the bonfire, "Who?"

"How would I know?" The young man rolled his eyes, "Aren't we going to flush them out tonight?"

"The personnel for this mission were all meticulously selected," the strong man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "There shouldn't be any traitors... except for that Chen Yu."

"If there are none, that's for the best," the young man with the duckbill cap scoffed.

By the bonfire.

The Transcendents each skewered their own piece of meat, huddled around the fire in circles, and started roasting.
