Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

The next morning.

Everyone got up early and gathered together for breakfast.

Ling looked at Su Chen and Nicole with a resentful expression, then took a big bite of bread.

This huge, hard bite felt like it was biting into Su Chen.

Instead of sleeping late at night, they decided to exercise together.

And then there's Anbi, who usually seems so serious, but her behavior behind the scenes is so unexpected.

She felt a pang of resentment, but didn't know where to vent it.

Zhe looked at Ling with some concern, and seeing that she was not in good spirits, asked with concern, "What's wrong, little sister?"

"It's nothing, brother." Ling forced a smile and said with a hint of resentment, "It's just that I was a little annoyed yesterday by the squeaking of a few mice."

Aside from being mentally exhausted, she actually didn't have any major problems.

Her body had undergone initial strengthening, so staying up all night had little impact on her energy.

It's just that the body hasn't broken the habit formed from sleeping every day.

Then there was that piercing, demonic voice that shook her to her core, making her unable to control herself.

"Are there really such bold rats in Wildfire Town?"

Caesar, puzzled, said, "Given the situation in the outer ring, there shouldn't be enough food to feed so many rats."

The outer ring road is covered in sand and dust, and there are basically no crops.

The food here is mainly obtained by trading with people in New Ellie, so people cherish it and there is basically no room for rats to thrive.

In some places, they even roast and eat rats.

Su Chen was even more heartwarming, knowing that Ling wouldn't lie, and earnestly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ling-mei. I'll come to your room tonight to catch the mouse and make sure it doesn't disturb your sleep."

"do not want!"

As if startled, Ling quickly shook her head.

She wasn't ready; the thought of yesterday's voice left her far from prepared!

Besides, this scumbag is so shameless, how could she let him succeed so quickly!

"you dare!"

Nicole glared at Su Chen, her brows furrowed in disapproval.

She made a huge sacrifice yesterday and has been able to speak with confidence for a long time.

"Just kidding, don't be nervous."

Su Chen took a sip of soy milk and said with a smile, "My real idea is to let the cat go again. With her there, the mice definitely won't dare to come back."

He picked up the dozing cat and placed it seriously in front of him.

"Meow?"

The cat's eyes widened like saucers; it never expected to be caught in the crossfire.

Although she listened attentively all night, she did nothing and said nothing!

"That's pretty much it."

Ling nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Whether or not those three big rats still squeak at night, it's always good to have someone with you.

Breakfast was over quickly.

Everyone continued with their respective tasks as assigned yesterday.

As for Su Chen, who had already completed the motorcycle modification, he became a free man. Sometimes he would collect data with Ling and the others, sometimes he would slack off by Nicole's side while she was preparing for business, and occasionally he would have a couple of drinks with Bernice.

He should be at the age to strive, but he lives like some unknown emperor who is carefree and idle, only knowing how to relax.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The route mapping was complete, and the supplies Nicole had contacted were retrieved by Calydon's son. With everything prepared, it was time for Caesar and the others to familiarize themselves with the motorcycles and the route, awaiting the start of the Hellfire Ride.

Ling, Zhe, and the people from the Cunning Rabbit House also had some free time, so they enjoyed a brief respite on the outer ring road, waiting for the grand feast after the overlord was decided.

Meanwhile, Bell also came to Nicole. This big rat hadn't stopped for three days and disturbed everyone's sleep every night.

Even with a cat by her side, Rin couldn't stand it at all.

She pulled Nicole aside and asked in a very serious, low voice, "Nicole, can you tone it down a bit tonight? I haven't slept for three days and three nights."

She listened for three nights without missing a single minute.

Even though gossip is exciting, she got tired of it after three nights in a row and wanted to try something different.

"..."

Nicole blushed instantly, her eyes darting away as she said, "I'll try my best to be careful tonight, and try to make sure you have sweet dreams~"

Try to be careful?

Ling noticed the implied meaning in those words.

It's clear they want it tonight, non-stop all night long!

She scratched her head, cupped Nicole's face in her hands, and said earnestly, "No, I mean stop, stop!"

After listening to it for several days, she was already feeling romantic and couldn't stand it at all.

She had initially been very wary of Su Chen, but now that he was handsome and refined, she was quite smitten.

“That won’t do.” Nicole refused outright, saying, “You know, Su Chen is going out soon, and I need to keep his mind at bay so he won’t be even more unruly outside.”

"With his personality, you can't tame him. He's a wild horse, always thinking about galloping!"

Ling held her forehead and said, quite clearly.

There was a time when she had such thoughts. But after realizing that this person was clearly a scumbag, she decided to let things take their course and just be happy.

As long as she doesn't care, Su Chen is essentially only in love with her, and he understands the applause!

but……

Bell looked Nicole up and down, full of suspicion.

With Nicole's intelligence, even if she didn't realize it early on, she should have understood his personality after spending so much time with him.

She whispered nervously in Nicole's ear, "Tell me, is Su Chen going to be gone for a long time, for many years?"

She couldn't think of any other explanation.

"Well, not really..." Nicole stammered, her eyes darting around.

"What's the reason for that?"

Ling pressed on relentlessly, determined to get to the bottom of it.

Nicole looked at Bell, and considering their close working relationship and the many times they had risked their lives together, she finally gave in.

She lowered her head, glanced at Su Chen in the distance, and said with a blush, "I don't want to waste resources, so that the good stuff doesn't go to outsiders."

She knew that Su Chen could improve his strength, and she also learned that Su Chen was going out soon, so she made the effort.

Her shrewd business acumen allowed her to calculate that she could boost the strength of an Ambi overnight.

If we don't deliver grain for a day, it's equivalent to losing one ampere every day.

If you ask for food with Ambi every day, you'll earn two more Ambi each day.

If someone steals her grain, it's like someone robbed Anbi from the rabbit shed—that would be a huge loss, and she'd be heartbroken.

"No waste of resources?"

Ling stared blankly at Nicole, as if she had discovered a new world.

Is this what adults are like? How terrifying. It turns out that in front of Nicole, she's still just a child.

Since she had already given him some information, Nicole decided to go all out and lay bare her entire Ambi income theory: "It's like this, like this and that and that..."

Ling's eyes widened in amazement: "How amazing!"

"Now you know my predicament, right?"

Nicole looked at Rin pitifully and said, "You don't want the Rabbit House to lose two Ambies every day, do you?"

"Yeah, you wouldn't want Rabbit House to lose two Ambies every day, would you?"

Ling licked the corner of her mouth with her pink tongue, her tone quite dangerous.

"What do you mean?"

Nicole was a little stunned.

"We'll split it in half when we meet!"

Ling made up her mind, with unwavering determination.

To protect her brother and for world peace, she was willing to bravely sacrifice herself.

Originally, I was planning to find a way to get my brother to kowtow to Su Chen a few times and become Su Chen's disciple as well.

Now it seems unnecessary, since the older brother doesn't have that function.

She still has to step in herself to protect the new Elidu.
