**Chapter 2: The New Camp and the Winners' Mansion**
The submarine emerged from the depths, and the competitors were greeted with a breathtaking sight: an imposing **mansion** on the edge of a crystal-clear lagoon, surrounded by lush forests. The walls of the mansion were a deep blue with golden details, reflecting themes of rich traditions. It was a sight that made the heart race with promises of luxury and danger.
In the distance, a **small cabin** contrasted with the grandeur of the mansion, showing that not everyone would have the same luck in this tournament.
### **Arrival at the New Camp**
As soon as they disembarked, the participants were greeted by the famous **Henrique Nakamura**, who appeared on a platform, his enthusiastic tone echoing in the air.
— *Welcome back, old competitors and new participants! Welcome to **Underground Island Camp**!*
Eyes quickly turned to the sprawling mansion and the small cabin, and anticipation grew.
— *That giant mansion is for the team that takes the win! And the cabin... well, it's for the losers and those who misbehave! You only have two beds, and in some cases, sleeping outside might be the option.*
The new participants murmured among themselves, some visibly worried about what lay ahead.
— *For the next 10 days, you'll have time off before the deadly challenges! Use this time to get your routines in order, get to know your rivals, or potentially form alliances—or even intimate partners, if you know what I mean!*
### **Expectations and Gossip**
As soon as Henry finished, the crowd of competitors began to disperse.
#### **Hardy and Drake**
**Hardy**: *"We have to prepare ourselves. A new tournament means new challenges."*
**Drake** (laughing): *"Or new alliances. Which do you prefer?"*
**Hardy**: *"I'd rather win, no matter who I'm allied with."*
#### **Calley** and **Glenda**
**Calley**: *"Look at the mansion these winners live in. Hacking it must be fun, huh?"*
**Glenda** (raising an eyebrow): *"And what do you plan to do? Live like a criminal in the middle of the tournament?"*
#### **New Participants**
**Apex Predatori**: *"You think this is going to be a walk in the park? No, this is the Arena and it's full of cheaters."*
**Francis Castro**: *"Oh, let's see who can really take it. These ten days are going to be about testing our limits."*
### **Exploring the Mansion and the Cabin**
The contestants began to explore their new homes. The **mansion** was luxurious, with a huge **pool**, a living room with a **giant television**, and a bar that would be the envy of any good host. Meanwhile, the **small cabin** was basic, with only two beds and a simple environment.
**Hardy** and **Drake** took the opportunity to swim in the pool before starting their training routines, while other contestants crowded around the television, watching what was shown on the big screens.
### **Henry's Last Warning**
Before leaving, Henry turned to the contestants and added:
— *Enjoy these ten days. Make friends, but be aware that not all rivals want only friendship! The challenges ahead will not be easy.*
With that, he walked away, leaving the competitors in a state of anticipation and apprehension. Everyone knew that the upcoming challenges would test not only their skills, but also their souls.
