After leaving home again, Gu Chen rushed all the way to the MAC team headquarters.

Before he parked the car, Gu Chen saw Zhu Xingtuan waiting for him in the parking lot.

After hastily parking the car, Gu Chen immediately got out of the car and asked Zhu Xingtuan, "What's the situation now?"

"They all stayed in the war room, remaining silent. I asked them to go back and rest, but they refused to leave. I don't know what they were thinking. Sigh."

Zhu Xingtuan immediately reported the situation to Gu Chen and sighed heavily at the end.

Gu Chen nodded, then strode towards the operations room, but in his heart he was wondering whether Nan Meng and the others were also affected by the Sword of Resentment.

Although the Sword of Resentment did not actively affect them, it is possible that the aura it exuded indirectly affected Nan Meng and others.

After all, to ordinary people, the Sword of Resentment is a monster that cannot be more evil.

"By the way, how's the situation over there?"

Taking advantage of the time while on the road, Zhu Xingtuan also asked Gu Chen about Feng Yuan's situation.

"I have already brought Baizi over. The rest is up to her."

Gu Chen said as he walked.

"Oh, it's all my fault. If only I had noticed the abnormality of Yuan during this period in advance."

Hearing this, Zhu Xingtuan sighed heavily again and blamed himself.

Looking back now, he felt that there were indeed some strange things in Feng Yuan's behavior during this period. The most obvious thing was that since Feng Yuan woke up in the ward, he spoke less and less every day, and the smile on his face became smaller and smaller.

He should have been able to discover these in time, but his attention was focused on Astra at the time, so he did not pay attention to Feng Yuan's abnormality, thinking that he was just depressed due to the injury.

But he never thought that it was actually a sign that the inner demon in Feng Yuan's heart was growing.

If he could find out in time, maybe he could solve it in time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xingtuan wanted to slap himself twice. After all, he had experienced such a situation before, but he failed at this critical moment.

"That's not right. The main responsibility still lies with Dark Tiga. For the time being, we should focus on solving the problem at hand."

Gu Chen shook his head and comforted Zhu Xingtuan.

At the same time, Gu Chen also felt that it was necessary to communicate this matter with the main body.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen and Zhu Xingtuan finally arrived at the war room.

As the door opened to both sides, the appearance of everyone in the operations room came into Gu Chen's sight.

"Hey, consultant, you're here after all. Really, we told the captain not to bother you."

Seeing Gu Chen's figure appear at the door of the operations room, Nan Meng immediately showed a wry smile on his face and spoke.

"Why bother talking about whether it's a bother or not? Let's talk about you. Why are you staying here instead of recuperating at home? You know that I won't allow you to go out on missions until you are fully recovered."

As Gu Chen spoke, he walked to the center of the war room, his eyes scanning everyone's faces one by one.

"We know this too. We will not disobey your orders, Advisor. It's just..."

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ichiro opened his mouth slowly, but then hesitated.

"It's just that we couldn't stay here any longer, so we decided to sit in the war room and discuss the previous battle together."

Then, Aoshima Ichiro took over Yamanaka Ichiro's words and spoke.

"Oh? So what did you discuss?"

Gu Chen immediately raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhu Xingtuan beside him, and then asked everyone.

"We discussed the details of the battle at the time, analyzed the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, reviewed the course of a normal battle, and came to a conclusion that made all of us feel a little uncomfortable."

Kiyohiko Akaishi then spoke.

"That is, no matter how hard our MAC team fights, even if we sacrifice all our lives and have the mentality of destroying ourselves together, we are no match for Dark Tiga."

Kuroda Akihiko's voice sounded, followed by Akaishi Kiyohiko's words.

"Yeah, especially Dark Tiga's weapon. I can't breathe just by looking at it. It feels like my heart is being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand."

Bai Tujun nodded. He could still clearly recall the feeling at that time.

"Not only that, I felt a coldness that could freeze my soul, even if it was only for a moment."

Kajita Ippei added.

Then everyone fell silent again.

Gu Chen looked at Zhu Xingtuan again, and then asked again: "So, you are scared?"

"What are you talking about, advisor? Are we afraid?! Even if you ask us to fight Dark Tiga again now, I will fight Dark Tiga to the death even if I don't want to die."

Hearing Gu Chen's question, Yamanaka Ichiro immediately jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly, feeling that Gu Chen's words insulted him.

"Yes, Counselor, your question makes us very sad."

Nan Meng echoed in agreement.

"Could it be that in the eyes of the consultant, we are a group of cowards who are afraid of death?"

Qingdao Ichiro forced a smile on his face and asked Gu Chen a question in return.

"Then why do you all look so lifeless?"

Seeing this, Zhu Xingtuan couldn't help but take a step forward and asked curiously.

"Captain, we just...just don't see any hope of winning."

Hearing this, Nan Meng spoke slowly.

Yes, they do not lack the courage to fight Dark Tiga. Even though they know that Dark Tiga is not human and is not even a match for the Ultra Warriors, they can still fight Dark Tiga bravely.

But the problem is, they have lost hope.

Ordinary people don’t know the specific process of that battle, but as people who experienced it personally, Nan Meng and his team know it very clearly.

On the surface, they seemed to have won, but this was the result of the charity of their enemy, Dark Tiga. It could not be called a victory at all, and it could even be said to be a failure that could not be defeated any further.

So much time has passed, and the threat of Dark Tiga has not been resolved. Even the Ultra Warriors are powerless in front of Dark Tiga, and no rescue has come from the Land of Light.

If this continues, the Earth will be destroyed by Dark Tiga's repeated fun.

This process was undoubtedly difficult to accept for Nan Meng and others.

Moreover, this happened when the outside world praised them for their victory again, which further increased the pressure on Nan Meng and others.

Having said that, Gu Chen already knew where the problem lay.
