The teams each have 3 symbols they need to protect and another symbol opening up when the other 3 are destroyed. The opposing teams have to keep the dynamite given to them inside the symbol and press a buzzer which activates a one-minute timer. If the timer is stopped in the middle then it is reset, if not then the symbol will blow up.
With these instructions, the teams are each given the Z coins that could not be won by the trio and these will be used to buy weapons and hire mercenaries. Surprised by this, the teams are already happy but when they see the basic weapons which include shields and bombs, their happiness knows no bounds.
The game soon begins and the teams each go to their base to prepare for the upcoming battle. Team The Zone is ready to go all out to defeat Team Invincible while the latter too is ready to reciprocate the same and make up for their loss from last season. On the other hand, Team Foreign Legion seems more happy-go-lucky and with no idea what to do.
However, this happy-go-lucky vibe ends up with the team losing out on their 3 symbols faster than anyone else. Meanwhile, the other two teams are going all out with the battle while sneaking on each other, paying the least attention to Team Foreign Legion.
The teams carry out the battle for an hour and are told that they can now buy new weapons and hire mercenaries for help. The teams soon get their hands on what they need and the extra help and once again begin their battle. Unfortunately, Team Invincible lose out on the battle once again this season and are first to be eliminated after Team The Zone blows their final symbol.
Now, the two teams left are Team The Zone and Team Foreign Legion, and the latter doesn’t take long to give one blow after another to the former. Finally, the two teams are both protecting their final symbol and going all out to attack the other. Once again the teams get new weapons and Team The Zone gets their hand on the best weapon yet.
However, it’s Kwang-soo behind the wheel and Jae-suk once again fears this teammate who likes to attack him during a battle. Unfortunately, with the added help and weapons Team The Zone loses and it is Team Foreign Legion who takes the final win.
Thus, this becomes Team The Zone’s final and fifth loss this season which is sighed upon by AI U.
