Chapter 239 Want me to help clean up your mess?
From inside the cabin, Su Yan had a different perspective than them. She saw many more redback ants running in other directions, not coming towards them.
“These redback ants seem strange,” Su Yan shouted to Huo Qing.
Huo Qing also noticed something was wrong and said to Jerry, "Let's go back to the cabin first."
Jerry carried the rocket launcher back into the cabin.
"Something must have happened inside Zone Zero, causing these animals on the periphery to become restless. We're trying to avoid their attacks for now. Is the plane able to take off?"
"It will take time to replace the parts, and I haven't finished checking the entire power system yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, a smoking helicopter flew out from the depths of Zone Zero, followed closely by a flock of enormous bat-birds.
"Close the cabin door first," Huo Qing immediately ordered Su Yan.
Su Yan quickly closed all the doors.
The helicopter spotted their private plane and immediately flew towards them.
The helicopter landed, and two men in black military uniforms emerged. After disembarking, one of them transformed into a giant leopard, carrying the other man on his back.
The helicopter exploded before it got very far!
Su Yan looked at Huo Qing, "He's a beastman."
"The beastmen are basically all under military control." Huo Qing looked at Su Yan and said, "Save them!"
Su Yan opened the hatch.
Jerry walked to the cabin door and greeted the two men, "Where are you from, brothers?"
"Special Operations Team, District One!" the leopard shouted, having transformed back into human form.
Upon hearing this, Lu He also arrived at the cabin door and stretched out his hand to the two of them, "Quick—"
The two practically leaped into the cabin.
Huo Qing came over and asked, "What are your names, and what happened inside?"
The older one replied, "My name is Lin Yuan, and he is... Xiao Ji." The person called Xiao Ji had his face covered with a mask and wore a military cap. He was tall and slender, with a few strands of dark hair peeking out from under the brim of his cap.
"There was a thunderstorm and a strong earthquake in Zone 0, and all the animals inside ran out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong gust of wind swept in.
Upon seeing this, Su Yan's expression turned extremely serious, and she shouted at Huo Qing, "Find a safe place."
Lin Yuan heard Su Yan's shout and looked over at her.
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Su Yan also saw him and didn't miss the change in his expression. After a moment's thought, she understood that this must be the person who had seen Xia Yin before.
A strong wind came, and the entire fuselage shook.
Everyone first found shelter and waited for the storm to pass.
After about five minutes, the aircraft rolled twice in the wind before finally coming to a stop.
The plane was completely unable to take off; one of its wings had fallen off.
“This place is very close to the border defense forces of the 19th District. It’s about a two-hour walk away. How about we take the supplies and set off as soon as possible?” Lin Yuan asked Huo Qing.
Huo Qing looked at Su Yan.
Su Yan nodded to him, "The plane can't be repaired for the time being."
Without hesitation, the group began packing their supplies and backpacks.
As Su Yan packed her things, she handed two bottles of mineral water to Xiao Ji, saying, "Here you go."
The other person looked up at her.
Su Yan then noticed that his eyes were actually red, and she was slightly surprised.
He silently took the water, put it in his backpack, and continued packing.
Su Yan was suddenly patted on the shoulder. "Follow me."
"Okay." Su Yan slung her heavy backpack over her shoulder.
Lin Yuanyu took the backpack from Xiao Ji's hands, saying, "Let me do it."
Xiao Ji did not let go and insisted on carrying it herself.
Lin Yuan knew the way, and he led the way toward the border guards' stronghold.
After walking for a while, Su Yan pretended to have an upset stomach and went to relieve herself behind a large rock.
No one said anything; they stayed put and waited for her.
Su Yan dodged behind a large rock, then teleported back to the plane, storing all the remaining weapons and ammunition in the cabin into her system space.
Xiao Mei's voice rang out, "[Why isn't the host looking for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox? What are you doing following these males?]"
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox will follow the mark to find me; there's no need to pay him any attention. Right now, I'm with Huo Qing because I want his mecha weapon technology.
[Mecha Warriors?]
Yes. I heard him say on the phone that he's going to the auction to buy mecha weapon technology, and I want that technology.
What does the host want it to do?
I majored in mecha technology in school, and although I never actually used it, I was very interested in it.
[Well, as long as the host doesn't delay having children.]
"No, you still have some male semen stored there. If Qing Linghuan doesn't come looking for you within three months, use the stored semen first." Su Yan searched the entire plane, and just as she was about to leave, a tattered box in the corner of the cabin caught her attention.
In the past, it was kicked open.
Inside is a square bronze tripod.
It looks like an old item.
Su Yan took it out; it was very heavy, at least a hundred pounds. [Xiao Mei, check it.]
[The host is extremely lucky; this is a complete divine-grade treasure cauldron. Its interior space is even larger than Yunmeng Island, making it suitable as a regular storage artifact. It can also preserve spiritual materials of any grade, not only preserving their spiritual essence but also promoting their growth and improving their quality.]
"How do I use it?" Su Yan touched the inside, only seeing the size.
[It's currently ownerless, so the simplest way is to have it bound to someone by blood. You could ask Master Qing; he might have a different perspective.]
"Let's talk about it later. I need to hurry back, or they'll get suspicious." Su Yan put away the bronze cauldron first.
Su Yan went back behind the rock and just then heard Huo Qing's voice, "Xia Xia—do you need any help?"
"Want me to help wipe your butt?" Su Yan came out from behind the rock and retorted.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Huo Qing touched his nose. "Isn't this Zone Zero? Anything can happen here."
Su Yan paused for a moment, then said, "I'll call if anything happens."
"Okay," Huo Qing said with a smile.
Su Yan glanced at him and continued walking forward.
With the system map zoomed in to its maximum, everything around us, even hundreds of meters underground, was clearly visible.
Suddenly she turned around and looked at Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji also looked back at her sharply, her gaze questioning.
Su Yan's gaze went past him and looked further into the distance. "What's that dark thing?"
Everyone looked over.
Upon seeing this, their expressions changed drastically.
"It's a desert cockroach! These things eat even the dirt when they cross the border!" Lu He exclaimed.
"Run!" Su Yan took off running. At this moment, no one should need her, a woman, to help them with anything.
Jerry looked at Su Yan, who had left them dozens of meters behind in the blink of an eye, and said with admiration, "Boss, she's pretty amazing. Is she really just a cleaner?"
"I checked, and Xia Yin had undergone more than six months of special military training. She's not one of the old president's people."
"This incident..."
"It has nothing to do with her."
They were still within her system map's range, so they could hear everything she said.
My mind drifted back to what happened more than two weeks ago...
