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

"No need to be polite, we're all brothers."

Su Chen waved his hand dismissively.

"Speaking of which, what's going on with the shopkeeper?" Billy looked at Bomb, who was being carried by Su Chen, and asked with some confusion, "Even if Su Chen said he wanted to fight, there was no need for him to go looking for Yi Hai like this."

Even though these hundreds of skeletons were not on the planned route, Ies still managed to bring them here.

If it weren't for Su Chen, they would almost certainly be doomed.

Nicole looked at Bomb, whose eyes were red with rage, and asked somewhat angrily, "Rope Maker, what's going on? How far are we from the safe?"

Clearing out the skeletons and obtaining their cores would be great, but their mission was to find the safe, which is completely off-topic.

Moreover, they encountered far too many corpses. Without Su Chen, they would only have two choices: to die or to die later.

"..."

With red eyes, Ies paid no heed and completely ignored Nicole's words.

The hacker controlling IAS truly hadn't expected this team to be so formidable.

The original plan was to lure them to the settlement of the Yi Hai and have them kill them. Unexpectedly, they instead slaughtered hundreds of Yi Hai.

"Rope maker, what's wrong with you! Say something!"

Nicole panicked when she saw Ies's silence.

In the cave, you can't get by without a rope maker to guide you.

Because she had asked Phaethon for help, she didn't buy any extra 'radishes'.

If something happens to Ies, no matter how strong Su Chen is, they will be trapped in the void and corroded into skeletons.

"..."

Ies remained silent and did not speak.

Ambi guessed, "Is the store manager angry? Because Nicole always buys on credit?"

"So this is ah!"

Billy slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing what he had just learned.

"No, that's not true! We clearly agreed to pay off all the debts this time!"

Nicole immediately retorted.

Having worked with Fahrenheit multiple times before, Nicole knew they weren't that kind of people.

"I think the video store was hacked, and this babe is now under the hacker's control."

Su Chen shook the red-eyed Ies in his hand, understanding everything perfectly.

He knew it was the virus on the USB drive that was working; the hacker must have already compromised the siblings' systems.

Now it's probably time for the brother and sister to outwit and outmaneuver the hacker.

"Ah!?" Nicole panicked. "We're still in the cave, we can't do without a rope maker!"

The space within the void is chaotic and undergoes inexplicable changes.

If something happens to the rope maker, forget about finding a safe; even leaving the cave will be a luxury.

"Don't panic, trust them to handle it."

Su Chen patted Nicole on the shoulder to comfort her.

He still believed that the two siblings could handle it, after all, the hacker didn't seem very smart.

Even if he can't handle it, it doesn't matter. He still has a 'radish' from the rope net trade on his phone, so he doesn't have to worry about being trapped in the hole.

"We have no choice but to trust them now."

Nicole, of course, was unaware of Su Chen's preparations, and said dejectedly.

She still felt uncertain; it's never pleasant to have your life in someone else's hands.

"Let's rest here for a bit and wait for Ies to recover before we talk again."

Su Chen continued.

The large swarm of skeletons that had inhabited this area has been cleared out, and there won't be any new skeletons to replenish it for a while, making it a good place to rest.

"It can only be the."

Nicole sighed and agreed with Su Chen's idea.

The four cleaned up the remains of Yi Hai and found a secluded corner to sit down and rest.

Nicole snatched Eis from Su Chen's hand and shook it vigorously: "You better restore the connection quickly, or you'll never receive the payment you owe us again!"

After venting his frustrations, Ies remained unchanged, still looking dazed and confused.

Nicole put it down and leaned weakly against the wall.

"This is so worrying!" Nicole frowned, looking very depressed. "We finally had a glimmer of hope, but before we can even make it big, are we going to turn into monsters in this void?"

The Rabbit House, which had just welcomed Su Chen, was on the right track and was about to reap a bountiful harvest.

They also found the safe and were about to receive a hefty commission.

Two good things happening at the same time, how did it turn out like this?

“Nicole, don’t be too sad.” Ambly looked into Nicole’s eyes and comforted her, “Think of it this way: if we are trapped and die in the Hollow, the Rabbit House’s debt will not have to be paid.”

"Thank you for your comfort, Ambly," Nicole said weakly. "I feel much better now."

"Don't be so pessimistic. If you feel powerless, rest in my arms for a while."

Su Chen sat down next to Nicole, grinning mischievously as he opened his arms to her.

"Get lost~" Nicole waved her hand dismissively and said, "What time is it, and you're still trying to flirt with me?"

She's Nicole's boss, how could she make such a weak move?

Two minutes later...

Ni Ke nestled in Su Chen's arms, idly counting the fragments of the skeleton's core.

Since we're going to die anyway, it probably won't hurt to indulge ourselves a little.

Anbi sat on guard, glancing at Nicole and Su Chen out of the corner of her eye, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Billy, meanwhile, patted and patted Iez, trying to fix Iez's conjunctivitis with the simplest repair methods.

Half an hour later, a team of investigators from the Hollow Investigation Association passed by, accompanied by the police.

Nicole wriggled out of Su Chen's arms, looking a little nervous.

Su Chen stared blankly at the two sheriffs in the group.

A girl with a high ponytail looked dashing, and her figure was incredibly hot under her sheriff's uniform.

She was petite, almost like a prince, with the appearance of a little girl but the mannerisms of an old man.

“Nicole, should we use the rope maker’s information to trade for a radish?” Billy saw a glimmer of hope and asked Nicole. “Of course, this is just a suggestion. It’s up to you, Nicole, to decide what to do.”

Although the tomb raiders would be jailed if caught by the police, they could make amends by providing information about the rope maker.

Ambi calmly stated, "Given the current situation, Billy's suggestion is quite feasible."

Nicole closed her eyes and refused, "No."

Although she was greedy and had multiple burrows of cunning, she was still very careful with money.

But she couldn't bring herself to betray Phaethon, who had always been willing to give her credit.

“We really can’t betray our friends,” Su Chen agreed with Nicole’s decision, then looked thoughtfully at the police station’s team: “But perhaps there’s another way, we can ask them for a radish.”

He just took on the task of clearing the cavities today; he can use this task to do some work.

"Eh!?"

Nicole and Billy looked at Su Chen in surprise.

Anbi was also curious, wondering what Su Chen's method was.
