Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"What are the casualties among the defense forces?"

Xuan Li withdrew his gaze and asked Xin a question. Xin took Xuan Li to another place in the messy underground and replied

"The situation was actually not that bad, because this incident was a sudden emergency, and those unidentified individuals evacuated quickly, so the defense forces didn't engage the enemy for long."

"What about the losses?"

After the words fell, Xin looked at the mess in the distance and said

"There weren't many casualties among the underground researchers. Almost all those who encountered the enemy were taken into custody. As for the others..."

"There's only one mecha left in the series, and many of the latest scientific research products have also been lost. And most importantly..."

Xin's eyes became more serious, and he said softly

"Nearly one hundred specially made black coffins have been lost."

Xuan Li thought for a moment after hearing this and said

"No casualties were reported, perhaps because they didn't want to spark a larger conflict. But since they've already looted this place... why would they hold back?"

"And the specially made black coffins you mentioned, aren't they the ones I saw last time? Those made from the core components of the Geomantic Trial Tower?"

Hearing this, Xin raised an eyebrow, but was not surprised and continued with his analysis.

"Although they are rebels, I find it strange that such a large rebel force could penetrate deep into the Mars area and enter here."

"We've already dispatched a considerable force to search for them, but these people and the lost items are nowhere to be found, like looking for a needle in a haystack..."

Xin gritted his teeth. The current situation was too strange and too unexpected, unless...

"Someone is helping me."

"To be able to achieve this, one's status must be quite high."

Xuan Li expressed Xin's inner guess, but he was also a little confused.

"Didn't you just use the banquet incident to clean up a wave of people, and then use the subsequent impact to trigger the Supreme Judgment? And at the same time, you're using this incident... How come there are still people..."

Xuan Li's eyes fell on Xin, and she also looked over and started to finish what he had not finished.

"Why are there still people committing crimes against the wind?"

"I'm curious too..."

Xin's eyes grew colder, and at the same time he felt a little worried. Since all those things had been taken away, didn't that mean the plan had been exposed?

After learning more about the situation underground, Xuan Li met Professor Mo Mus. He did not seem to have any problems at this time and was still so calm, as if what was happening now was as common as the previous failed experiments.

"Mr. Xuanli."

Professor Mo Mus was still dressed neatly. He looked up at Xuan Li and greeted him with a smile.

"Is the professor okay?"

After Xuan Li finished speaking, Professor Mo Musi shook his head slightly and said

"The rebels were after those things, and didn't do anything to the people. I didn't even know what was going on until I woke up..."

Professor Mo Musi waved her hands helplessly. After hearing this, Xin wanted to ask something immediately, but before she could step forward, Professor Mo Musi said

"I need to sort out some valuable information, so I won't bother you any longer. I also hope that the defense forces can apprehend the real culprit as soon as possible."

Since the current incident involves the rebels, it is naturally taken over by the nearest military district. As an officer of the Staff Army, Xin is not actually in charge of this side.

She came here just to see the situation.

Looking at Professor Mo Mus's departing back, Xuan Li looked at Xin with some surprise.

"He doesn't seem to like you very much?"

Hearing this, Xin pursed his lips and explained

"He was implicated when we were dealing with the Society, so... he has no hostility towards the Scepter Army."

After explaining, Xin turned around and faced Xuan Li, placed his hands on his arms, and said seriously:

"Xuan Li, get ready."

"what?"

"Be prepared to receive Hollow Zero."

Xin's eyes flickered, and then he put down his hand and said

"I don't know how much time is left, and I'm sorry to tell you this only now, but we do need to prepare."

"I'll go find that guy and ask him about the situation first. When the time comes, I'll explain the situation to you in detail."

After Xin finished speaking, he didn't say anything else and turned away in a hurry. Xuan Li stood there, frowning slightly.

Is this the new Ai Li planning to take action against Hollow Zero?

After taking a deep look at Xin's back, Xuan Li shook his head slightly. He had originally wanted to proceed step by step, and that was also what the woman meant.

But right now, it seems that humans need to take action...

"Xuan Li."

Just as Xuan Li was thinking, a voice came from beside him. Xuan Li turned his eyes and looked, it was No. 11 and Trigger.

"How are you doing?"

"Fortunately."

"No. 11 came to hand over the mission last night and was supposed to take me back, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing."

Trigger nodded, and then spoke.

Number 11 on the side took over the conversation and said calmly

"We fought with the rebels last night, but because they had a large number of hostages, we had to call it quits."

"We were planning to report some special circumstances to our superiors, but she just told us not to worry about it and to just continue investigating."

No. 11 recalled the scene not long ago, with some doubt in her tone. Xuan Li was a little surprised when he heard her words.

"You mean the letter?"

From what they said, it is not difficult to guess who the "superior" they were talking about was.

But if there really was a special situation, Xin shouldn't have reacted like this, right?

"Then tell me."

Realizing that the situation was a bit delicate, Xuan Li took the two of them away, quickly left the defense force’s base, and found a hidden place.

In terms of position, Xuan Li is also the superior of Trigger and No. 11, so there is nothing wrong with the two of them reporting to him.

Inside the Huangquan Hotel, the three of them sat down.

No. 11 ordered food. It seemed that due to the accident at the defense force base, there were no other guests here except for the three of them.

After the owner went to the kitchen, Trigger sat next to Xuan Li and whispered quietly

"Due to recent missions, No. 11 is very familiar with the defense forces' combat methods and tactics. She was also the one who discovered the special situation."

"The rebels' combat methods and behavior are extremely similar to those of the defense forces, almost identical."

After ordering, No. 11 returned to his seat. After seeing the expressions of Trigger and Xuan Li, he nodded to Xuan Li.

Xuan Li's eyes flashed with thought, and he said

"The rebels originally broke away from the defense forces. Isn't that surprising?"

"No, that's true, but it's been a long time since the last large-scale defection. The Defense Force is not static, and its combat methods are constantly being innovated..."

After a pause, Trigger's eyes became serious. She looked at Xuan Li intently and said
