They were well aware that their captain was a psychology expert, skilled in reading body language and even understanding micro-expressions.
Speaking of which, isn't that person next to Yelai Zhang Tian?
Yeah, I was just about to ask that. Isn't he the Zhang Tian from the First Squad?
What's there to doubt? Zhang Tian must have been turned by Yelai and his team, or he switched sides long ago.
Yelai and his crew are more formidable than we thought. I remember Zhang Tian was one of those brought over from the Numbered Protection Zone along with Zhong Zhi. If they can turn him, that's impressive.
What’s going on with you, Captain?
As they chatted, one of the team members wanted to ask Captain Wang for his opinion but turned to see him deep in thought.
Captain, what's wrong?
It's nothing much; I just feel that Zhang Tian seems a bit strange.
Seeing the team members looking at him, Captain Wang didn’t hide his thoughts.
When I was talking to Yelai earlier, I noticed Zhang Tian and recognized him. Like you all, I thought he had been turned or something, so I was curious and looked at him a bit longer. You know me; I love observing people's micro-expressions—the subtle cues of different emotions in different people.
But I've never seen someone like Zhang Tian who has been turned before. I wanted to see what expression he would have when he saw us familiar faces and realized we could see through his betrayal. But I found out... he had no expression at all. No, not just no expression—he didn't even have any micro-expressions.
Captain Wang felt increasingly puzzled.
No matter how expressionless a person is, there should be some micro-expressions—like blinking or something. In the few minutes I talked with Yelai, he was like a corpse, showing no micro-expressions whatsoever.
As he finished speaking, his demeanor grew even stranger.
This wasn't his first time seeing Zhang Tian; usually, Zhang Tian didn't have such an expression.
Could it be that Zhang Tian is just overly nervous? After all, he's a traitor now, so seeing us might make him anxious and unable to show any expression.
In response to the team's speculation, Captain Wang shook his head.
No matter how nervous one might be, it's impossible to remain expressionless. Is there really anyone who has no expression? For example, someone with facial paralysis.
Yes, there is.
Oh? What kind of person would that be?
A dead person.
Dean Wang's gaze drifted as he thought that only the dead could lack micro-expressions. Unfortunately, Yelai and Zhang Tian had already walked away and taken a ride-share, leaving him unable to observe further.
Though he didn't understand Zhang Tian's situation, he was aware that Yelai was a Sequence with at least a Rank Five, verified personally by Captain Wang. The news spread quickly.
It was almost unnecessary to think about it. Given Yelai's current level of fame, within half an hour, news about Yelai's Sequence Rank would circulate throughout the Safe Zone.
Sure enough, less than half an hour had passed when news about Yelai began to spread in various places within the Safe Zone.
At that moment, in a bubble tea shop in the Safe Zone, the place was bustling with activity. Many people were lined up to buy bubble tea, while others sat inside enjoying their drinks.
"Have you heard? Yelai's Rank has reached Five."
The speaker was one of several young people sitting inside the shop, discussing the news they had received.
"Is that for real? Don't fool me; I haven't read much."
"Why would I lie to you? I heard Captain Wang personally confirmed it."
"Wow, it's been confirmed?"
"So does that mean the news about him taking out the First Squad and Sixth Team is true? I thought that was just exaggerated."
I thought so too. Honestly, when I first heard about this, I always believed it was Captain Zhou and his team who worked together to take down the First Squad and the Sixth Team. Yelai is really impressive; how did he reach Rank Five in the Sequence of the Waste Key?
Looking at it this way, Captain Luo Zhenxue's judgment isn't off. I've always thought Yelai was amazing, and it seems I was right all along. But you shouldn't be so quick to criticize; you were the one who insulted Yelai the most, claiming he didn't deserve Captain Luo Zhenxue.
But to be fair, seeing how powerful Yelai has become has really inspired me. It turns out there is hope for the Waste Key Sequence after all.
That's true.
Excuse me, gentlemen, may I interrupt for a moment?
Just as they were enjoying their milk tea and engrossed in conversation, a voice came from beside one of them. They paused in surprise and turned to look.
Next to them stood a middle-aged man with a friendly smile, who inquired with curiosity, "Could you tell me more about what you were just discussing? Specifically about Yelai and the Waste Key Sequence?"
