"General Andre said that once the Infected had completed their mission, the Swampland would temporarily open a passage. The Tidal Wave Squad would enter the Maze first, along with a Logistics Team made up of civilian Hunters. He suggested that you join the Logistics Team, as it would be safer," Lu Boyi translated.
Feng Ling frowned. "Where is this temporary passage? What exactly is the Tidal Wave Squad? Do I have to join the Logistics Team to enter the Maze?"
Lu Boyi spoke with General Andre again, asking for every detail.
After several minutes, their conversation finally ended.

Everyone looked at Lu Boyi in confusion.
Once the military personnel had gone far enough away, Li Yu impatiently asked, "What did that general say just now? And why did you two end up hugging?"
Lu Boyi sat back down beside the fireplace with an awkward expression. "General Andre seems to have misunderstood. He thought all of us wanted to enter the Maze.

Everyone fell silent.
After a while, Zhang Lu said awkwardly, "It's understandable... If we didn't intend to help, there'd be no reason to delay them by asking about the Maze. It's normal for him to misunderstand. We can just explain it later. It's not a big deal."
Lin Pengpeng hesitated, frowning as she struggled with herself for a moment before quietly saying, "Li Yu and I are contracted Hunters. We're bound by contract to return home immediately after escorting the Foundation's supplies to their destination. We can't stay here for too long..."
