Soon, the three teams hid in the deep pit that Qiu Tu had dug using "unlimited vision" and "terrain modification".
The first squad erased all traces one by one before heading to the last hiding place.
Qiu Tu was the last to enter the hiding place. After erasing all traces outside and creating other fake tracks, Qiu Tu went inside and used "Infinite Vision" to observe the search conducted by the Evil God Whale and its hundreds of amberjacks.
Perhaps they overestimated the reconnaissance capabilities of the whale sharks and amberjacks, or perhaps the four teams were indeed well hidden. In any case, the whale sharks and amberjacks' search was chaotic and disorganized.
'Things should be fine tonight....'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly absorbed a small piece of "Boundless Divine Crystal" to replenish his consumption while continuing to secretly refine the "Regional Central Hub".
According to his estimate, the "Regional Central Hub" should be two-thirds refined by tomorrow night. At that time, he will possess the abilities of a third Regional Lord.
According to Lariro's explanation, after two-thirds of the regional central hub is refined, the regional lord will gain a third regional ability: infinite teleportation.
As long as the lord of a region is in his or her region, he or she can instantly teleport to any location within that region.
And there is no consumption involved.
To be honest, Qiu Tu was truly shocked after learning about this ability.
It wasn't that this ability was particularly strong, but rather that he couldn't understand why Lariluo, with this ability, was still successfully ambushed by Liu Xiongyuan and his group.
Why doesn't she just teleport away and escape?
As a result... Larilu rolled her eyes so hard they almost flew to the sky, and only replied to Qiu Tu with one sentence, "Who told you I didn't use teleportation? If I didn't use teleportation, how was my original body destroyed?"
After hearing La Riluo's explanation, Qiu Tu outwardly expressed understanding, but inwardly he was certain of one thing: La Riluo was indeed incompetent. If it had been her sister who was ambushed, she probably would have already killed Liu Xiong Yuan and the others.
However, as long as Qiu Tu can refine two-thirds of the regional hub as soon as possible and unlock "infinite teleportation", his survival ability will be maximized.
Even when facing an evil god, as long as he is a little cautious, he can ensure his safe escape!
The rest depends on whether each squad can complete the tasks assigned to them, ensuring the operation's success and leading to promotions and raises upon their return...
You have to understand, the suicide squad came to "Boundless Heart Sea" with a mission, not to kill time.
If the time comes but the task assigned by the three leaders is not completed, the operation will still be considered a failure.
Other members of the suicide squad might get promoted based on their hard work, but someone of Qiu Tu's caliber would absolutely never be promoted just because of his efforts...
.......
Silent all night.
The next day marked the fourth day of the suicide squad's mission.
According to the original plan, Qiu Tu's Team 1 and Team 4 began to operate separately in the forest.
One team made some noise, attracting the abalone to chase after them. Then the fourth team made some noise, causing the abalone to hesitate, waver, and split up.
After luring the boats away, teams 2 and 3 began working frantically.
Soon, the day was over. Team 2 successfully completed the mission.
After setting fire to a clump of dead trees on the outskirts of the forest, Team 2 deactivated the "Spell Skull" and returned to the real world first, carrying intelligence and data!
In the real New Territories, it's winter now, but... in the New Territories region of the boundless mind, it's still spring and summer, so although the fire was quite large, it didn't cause much damage.
Its only function was to lure most of the boats away.
Under Qiu Tu's command, Teams 1 and 4 successfully shook off their pursuers and went into hiding again.
Day .
Qiu Tu's teams 1 and 4 continued to lure the enemy, while team 3 continued its work.
This time, the enemy has clearly learned their lesson.
They probably guessed that Qiu Tu had multiple teams, so they simply split their forces into two groups to begin besieging Team 1 and Team 4.
Even whales and sharks joined in.
This made the operations of Qiu Tu's Team 1 and Team 4 extremely difficult.
Qiu Tu's "crisis sense" began to flash wildly several times, almost as if he were dancing on a tightrope.
Finally, having no other choice, he changed the plan on the spot, ordering Team 4 to hide and only commanding Team 1 to lead the amberjack and whale shark in circles.
But the whale shark was, after all, an evil god. Although he didn't carry out the capture seriously, his occasional attacks still severely injured two members of Team 1, rendering them almost unable to move.
After once again managing to escape the encirclement of the boatmen, and having the 3rd team set a fire to draw the enemy's attention,
Team 1 finally couldn't hold on any longer and hid in the pit that Qiu Tu had just dug to recuperate...
Seeing the wounded scattered on the ground and the exhausted crowd, Qiu Tu's expression turned grim.
He still underestimated the terror of a fourth-order evil god.
The whale sharks weren't even using any force; they were just toying with them like a cat playing with mice, and the sharks had almost no chance to fight back.
Of the suicide squad members, only Tang Feifei is in relatively good condition.
On several occasions, Qiu Tu even sensed that Tang Feifei wanted to exchange a few blows with the whale shark.
However, the others were not in such a state. Team 1 had two seriously injured members, and Team 4 had one seriously injured member and three slightly injured members.
'This can't go on....'
With that in mind, Qiu Tu activated "Unlimited Vision" and then checked the situation of Team 3.
After confirming that all members of Team 3 had left.
Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, then said to all the members of Team 1 present and Team 4 who were hiding, "Everyone, I am Qiu Tu."
"Here, I want to announce something to everyone."
"The new territory of the 'Boundless Heart Sea' is now almost entirely controlled by the evil god Whale Shark, who has summoned hundreds of his followers to surround us. Several members of Teams 1 and 4 have already sustained minor and serious injuries."
"I believe the danger of this operation has far exceeded expectations."
"Even if we continue, it will only increase unnecessary casualties and make it difficult to complete the mission."
"Therefore, I have decided that all members of Team 4 and all members of Team 1 except myself, along with all the current intelligence and clues, shall return to reality!"
“Leave me behind to continue observing the evil god’s movements and see if we can complete the mission.”
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei, Qin Shuman, and the injured team members all looked up at Qiu Tu.
Meanwhile, the communication tool also revealed the dissenting voices from Team 4.
But Qiu Tu said with a serious expression, "This is an order!"
In disciplined forces, no explanation is useful; the most effective word is "order."
Therefore, when the highly respected Qiu Tu issued the order, even though they were unwilling and worried about Qiu Tu, the members still obeyed.
Seeing that the others had agreed, Qiu Tu's expression softened slightly.
He said earnestly, "Brothers, no matter how powerful the evil god is, or how many followers he has, you must believe that victory will surely be ours."
"Now that your mission is complete, leave the rest to me!"
Thus, encouraged and commanded by Qiu Tu, all members of Team 4, along with several members of Team 1, removed the "Spell Skull" and returned to the real world.
Soon, only Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei, and Qin Shuman remained in the entire New Territories area.
Tang Feifei and Qin Shuman have actually sensed each other's feelings these past two days.
Qin Shuman knew Tang Feifei was coming. Tang Feifei, however, relied on analysis...
After all... Qiu Tu may be a womanizer, but... he doesn't sleep with every girl he sees.
Qiu Tu inexplicably brought Mao Tu with her, and inexplicably acted so intimately with Mao Tu. It was impossible for her not to think about it.
Previously, because everyone was busy, they all pretended not to know each other.
As a result, because Qiu Tu wanted to drive everyone away, the two of them were suddenly "forced" out.
An awkward atmosphere suddenly filled the air...
Perhaps because she had already given Qiu Tu the life-saving "Spirit Escape Pendant" in advance, Qin Shuman was not too worried about Qiu Tu's safety.
So, seeing Tang Feifei's sharp gaze, she smiled at Qiu Tu and said, "Minister Qiu, it seems... someone has something to say to you."
"Then be careful, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she waved to the two of them and sat down on the ground.
After seven or eight seconds, her body turned into specks of starlight and disappeared without a trace.
It's clearly a return to the real world...
After Qin Shuman left, only Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu remained in the deep pit.
Tang Feifei stopped pretending and slowly changed and shrank her body until she returned to her original appearance.
After reverting to her original appearance, Tang Feifei looked at Qiu Tu and said, "You don't seem surprised?"
Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I already guessed that."
Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei sighed softly. She felt a sense of frustration.
Even though she was a strong-willed woman all her life, she only felt powerless when facing Qiu Tu.
This seems to be... why she's getting more and more deeply involved.
He even risked his life, disguising himself as a member of a suicide squad, just to be able to rescue Qiu Tu at will.
Thinking this, she looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Come back with me."
"This mission has failed."
“The whale clearly considers the New Territories his own territory. If you stay any longer, you will only enrage him completely.”
"You can't beat him in a fight, and you can't escape him..."
At this point, Tang Feifei added, "So, come back with me..."
.......
Half an hour later. In the real world, at the New Territories City Investigation Department. Director's office.
Tang Feifei woke up in bed, and Su Xiaowan, who had been watching over her, rushed over and said anxiously, "Director, you're finally awake."
"I was so anxious!"
Hearing Su Xiaowan's words, Tang Feifei slowly opened her eyes. She gave Su Xiaowan a cold look, then asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Su Xiaowan reported quietly, "From last night until now, 23 members of the suicide squad have returned from the 'Boundless Heart Sea'."
"Many of them were injured and in poor condition."
"There are rumors in the department that they failed in their mission, were afraid of dying, and slunk back."
"But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Minister Qiu Tu has not yet woken up."
"Of the 24 members of the suicide squad, only he remains in the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart.'"
"Rumors are flying everywhere in the Investigation Bureau. Some people are even saying, with great certainty, that Minister Chiu... died in the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart.'"

Tang Feifei's expression didn't change much after hearing Su Xiaowan's words.
She stood up abruptly, and as she dressed, asked, "Is someone deliberately stirring things up?"
This topic is clearly beyond Su Xiaowan's capabilities.
She hesitated for a moment, then tried to use her slow, clumsy brain to reply haltingly, "I don't think so?"
She recalled for a moment, then said, "Because of the suicide squad's confidentiality clause. They are only responsible to Minister Qiu and to you."
“They cannot disclose any information to anyone while neither of you are in the room.”
"In fact, Director Yu, Minister Lin, and Minister Shi all tried to contact them, but they were all turned away."
"The suicide squad is not seeing anyone except you right now. They've just sent a doctor from the medical department to treat the wounded."
"Therefore, the department is completely in the dark about what exactly happened to the suicide squad."
"Everyone only knows that there were 24 members of the suicide squad. 23 of them have returned in batches, and most of them were injured, some even seriously. Only Minister Qiu has not returned."
