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

A few minutes later, the group wiped out another batch of skeletons and finally arrived at Durrah's territory.

"The ether concentration is getting higher and higher, we have arrived."

Ambition, sensing the increasingly heavy air, spoke calmly.

Miguel the White Man was so quickly eroded into a skeleton because he accidentally fell into an environment with a high concentration of etheric energy.

The ether concentration increased, and the surrounding environment was familiar; they had arrived.

"Look, the safe is over there!"

Eis was the first to spot the safe and immediately ran over.

"Whoosh!" Nicole cheered and rushed to the safe. "My little darling, I've finally found you!"

"I wonder what's going on with this safe; it's caused so much trouble," Nicole said excitedly. "Anyway, I want ten times the commission fee to make up for the losses I suffered on this mission!"

"After all that effort, and almost getting trapped in the cave, we finally found this little thing," Billy said happily.

"Let's not talk about this now. We can discuss it properly once we're out of the cave."

Su Chen glanced behind them and said meaningfully.

"Are they those two sheriffs?"

As an instructor in the Obsidian Battalion of the Defense Force, Ambi also noticed this.

"Yes."

Su Chen nodded gently.

"Two sheriffs have followed us?"

Nicole and Billy, who had been laughing and joking, suddenly stopped laughing and turned pale with fright.

Eis even secretly hid behind Su Chen, trying to stay out of the two sheriffs' blind spot.

They all had special identities, and they were like mice before a cat when they saw the sheriff.

"Don't be so nervous, they don't intend to make a move," Su Chen calmly reassured them. "As long as we act normally and don't do anything reckless, nothing will happen."

He probably guessed what the two were thinking.

He was probably scared by the word 'kill' he used, so he came over to check on the situation.

"..."

Nicole and Billy relaxed a little, but were still somewhat reserved.

Su Chen smiled in the direction where Zhu Yuan and Qingyi were.

He had just arrived, and Durrah had hidden himself beforehand, so he hadn't discovered it yet.

But he knew perfectly well what was going on with the flat-chested little girl and the honest police officer Zhu Yuan who had been following behind them.

He fused with ten times the gold card of Yan Shuangying, and naturally inherited Yan Shuangying's master-level reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills.

Young sheriffs, your every move is laid bare before these eyes.

……

It was Zhu Yuan and Qingyi who, after being startled by Su Chen, came to check on him.

There was no way around it; when Su Chen said the word 'kill,' he exuded a murderous aura that didn't seem like acting.

They need to follow and check the situation, lest Su Chen do something bad.

Seeing the sudden change in Su Chen, Nicole, and the others, they naturally realized that something was wrong.

And Su Chen's smile at the end was an open secret.

"Senior Qingyi, it seems they've discovered us."

Zhu Yuan said somewhat nervously.

“That’s right, they did find us.” Qingyi nodded in confirmation, and said thoughtfully, “Their reconnaissance capabilities are quite remarkable, unlike those of an ordinary civilian organization, to be able to find the two of us.”

The thought of that smile made her feel a little annoyed.

Does this guy think he looks handsome when he smiles?

Laughing in front of a sheriff who's following you—that's provocation, you know?!

"They're quite formidable, but their target seems to be just that safe; they don't appear to be doing anything malicious." Zhu Yuan looked at Qingyi and asked, "They said they were clearing out the void, but it turns out they have another mission. Senior Qingyi, should we go and capture them?"

Although she was Qingyi's superior, considering the difference in their experience, she usually listened to Qingyi.

Despite its small appearance, it is actually quite old, a long-time employee of the Public Security Bureau.

If any goldfish-loving men were to try and take advantage of her, a pair of silver bracelets would be their only fate.

"No need. As the old saying goes, 'To blend in with the world.'"

Qingyi put aside her personal emotions and spoke calmly.

"Um, Senior in Green Robe, could you explain it more clearly?"

Zhu Yuan gave an awkward yet polite, illiterate smile.

She was a top student at Metis College, but she didn't really know much about ancient culture.

“What I mean is, he took on the Void Investigation Association’s mission and then casually picked up a rope netting job on the side. That’s normal. We don’t need to arrest him,” Qingyi explained. “After all, many investigators do this, and some of our colleagues also earn some extra money.”

It's just earning some extra money, nothing serious.

As long as the request isn't related to illegal or disorderly conduct, the Public Security Bureau usually turns a blind eye; it's an unspoken rule that officials won't investigate unless the public reports it.

"Is there such a thing?!"

Zhu Yuan's pure and innocent heart was deeply moved.

Although she didn't have much malice towards the cave raiders, she had never thought of such an operation.

"Sigh~" Seeing Zhu Yuan's innocence, Qingyi sighed: "I always feel guilty about teaching you this kind of gray knowledge."

"Senior Qingyi, please don't say that. The more I know, the more I will grow."

Zhu Yuan snapped out of her daze and said seriously.

She's not someone who can't adapt to changing circumstances.

She wouldn't have much ill feelings towards ordinary cave raiders unless they were bandits or rebels who committed murder and arson.

She could turn a blind eye to these part-time cave raiders as long as they didn't do anything bad.

Qingyi nodded with satisfaction: "Good! As expected of a top student from the Metis Academy, you are not only strong but also very flexible in your thinking. I think you have the qualities of a chief sheriff!"

"That's too much, Senior Qingyi!"

Zhu Yuan blushed and stammered.

The title of Chief Sheriff was too high a compliment for her; she felt a little overwhelmed.

Zhu Yuan had no choice but to change the subject and asked, "Should we leave now?"

Now that it's confirmed that Su Chen and his group aren't doing anything bad, it seems there's no need for them to stay any longer.

"Wait a little longer." Qingyi was still staring at Su Chen's area, and said calmly, "The instrument shows that there is a highly active etheric entity here, which should be a superior etheric entity."

"I want to see how Su Chen performs."

I've seen the video of Su Chen clearing away the skeletons, but those were only some low-level skeletons.

She wanted to see how Su Chen would behave in the face of Shangwei Yihai.

"I understand."

Zhu Yuan nodded, offering no objection.

It's human nature to enjoy gossip, and she wanted to see some excitement too.

……

On the other side, seeing that the sheriff did not take any action, Nicole relaxed a lot.

"Billy, take the safe with you, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Nicole gave the order.

"Yes, sir! That's a piece of cake, Boss Nicole!"

Billy immediately picked up the safe.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a slender and well-proportioned creature launched a sneak attack from behind the moment Billy picked up the safe.

The etheric energy sword flashed with multicolored light as it slashed towards Billy's head.

"Billy, watch out!"

Nicole turned pale and shouted.

"Waiting for you!"

Su Chen smiled and instantly rushed behind Billy, drawing his sword to block.
