The atmosphere between the two teams had fallen into silence.
Susanna, a B-rank Ice Ability User who had been constantly fixated on the young recruits of Team 18, said with a tone of regret, "What a pity!"
Although Team 18 was situated at an oasis with a far better survival environment than Team 04 who only had a dead volcano, saw not a hint of greenery, and had no water source, they were still unable to defend their position effectively. Even with automated weapon platforms and advanced detection systems, there were still some loopholes that allowed mutants coveting the oasis to infiltrate.
The loss of the two members of Team 18 was due to this reason.
