Chapter 805

Brandon Hill’s team was definitely feeling better now. Finally, another team joined them in the hall of shame.

“Cathy was already sharp. Now with Aria on her side, they’re basically unstoppable,” one teammate muttered.

Who would’ve thought they’d actually steal the traps set up by the Bureau and use them for themselves?

Everyone had witnessed Aria and Cathy casually scouting out the hidden traps and packing them up like they were on a shopping trip.

They weren’t worried about losing their supply station at all.

As Cathy had put it: “If someone tries to take it, just retreat. We can always take it back.”

“The net was just the start. They’ve set up more traps they haven’t even used yet,” someone added.

“Pretty sure next year’s evaluation will have copycats pulling the same stunt…” another teammate chimed in.

With traps on their side, they had a huge edge in combat.

Actually, some teams had considered trying the same, but the Bureau’s traps were extremely dangerous. One wrong step and you could wipe out your whole team.

Nobody wanted to risk it, except Aria and Cathy.

Even if others knew the trick, few would dare try it.

“Ugh, I’m wiped. I’m heading to bed. I’ll check back in the morning,” someone said with a yawn.

Everyone in the Bureau got the day off for the evaluation.

Most people chose to stay and watch instead of going home.

Watching in real time was a whole different experience from watching the edited highlights.

Like right now, the atmosphere was buzzing as everyone joined in the discussion.

At six in the morning, Cathy’s team woke up on schedule.

Emily stretched with a grin. “If it were any other year, today would be the riskiest day. But now I’m not even a little nervous.”

Liz nodded as she sorted through her gear. “Same here.”

They had gathered enough supplies. No need to split up to search anymore-just guarding the camp is enough.

After a quick breakfast, the seven of them sat together in a circle.

Allison spun her stick around, looking bored. “Ugh, I’m so bored. Anyone wanna do something?”

“Wanna play cards?” Caroline suddenly suggested.

Liz blinked. “Where are we supposed to get cards?”

Chapter 806

Caroline perked up. “We can just make some! Aria, what do you say?”

Six pairs of eyes turned to Aria.

Aria nodded. “Sure, why not? Sitting around’s kinda dull.”

Caroline grabbed Allison and went off to find wooden sticks, tossing them to the others when they returned. “You guys start sanding these and using arrows to carve the numbers.”

Then she turned to Aria. “Have you ever played poker?”

Aria shook her head. “Nope, but I’ve heard of it

Cathy looked surprised. “Seriously? Never?”

Aria shrugged. “Why don’t you guys explain the rules?”

After Cathy finished her detailed explanation, Aria picked it up in no time and asked, “Alright, so what are we betting?”

“The loser buys the winner a meal, Cathy proposed. “Every loss counts.”

Everyone agreed and got to work making wooden cards.

Once done, they rotated between two decks of cards. Spectators who had gotten up early looked on helplessly.

Spectators who had gotten up carly looked on helplessly.

“I didn’t wake up early to watch them play cards! Can someone please attack them already?” one of them complained.

Another person replied, “Two out of thirteen teams are already out. There are eight supply stations. Only three teams need fighting supplies. Chances are slim they’ll get attacked today. Honestly, with nothing to do, I’d be bored too.”

“Let’s just check out the other teams instead, someone else suggested.

That’s when they saw something interesting.

One team was negotiating with Fabian’s group, offering an alliance: help them seize a supply station now, and they’d return the favor during the team round.

Fabian agreed to the deal.
