CHAPTER 309: CHAPTER 309: RETURN TO QING COUNTY

Regarding this matter, Ye Chen had heard it more than once. Tang Qiu had mentioned before that the Law Enforcement Alliance was not simple. Ye Chen had already forgotten about it, but now Tang Qiu suddenly brought it up again, sparking Ye Chen’s interest.

"Tang Qiu, what makes this Law Enforcement Alliance so different? You mentioned it before, and when I asked you at the time, you said it was a secret of the Law Enforcement Alliance. Can you tell me now?"

Tang Qiu sighed and began to speak, "Actually, I’m not quite sure about it myself. I just happened to see something by chance, and even my master doesn’t know. I only know that this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems. The people above have levels that are incredibly high, far beyond our imagination! Otherwise, how did they come up with those combat suits and battle armor vehicles? Where did the Law Enforcement Alliance get so much gold and resources from?

And besides, what’s the real reason for recovering heart cores? Don’t you guys find it odd?"

Regarding this matter, Ye Chen had long been suspicious. He had considered many possibilities, but all were dismissed by himself.

Tang Qiu couldn’t explain why either.

"What exactly did you see at that time?"

Tang Qiu recalled, "Back then, I saw only one person, and it was when the Law Enforcement Alliance had just come into being. I was only at Level 5, but that person was already Level 15."

"Hmm?"

Tang Qiu’s words were like a thunderclap exploding in the minds of the few people! Already Level 15 at that time! What level would it be now?

Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered something; the safety zone seemed to have been established very early too. Could it be that preparations had already started back then?

Now Ye Chen suddenly discovered that this country is definitely not as simple as it appears.

This world, including this country, is very similar to the world and country from which he came, of course, that was before the chaotic times.

Yu Nian worriedly said, "Could it be that we’re really in trouble this time?"

"Yes! And it’s quite a big trouble. The Law Enforcement Alliance’s Preparation Army holds high authority, but their numbers are small, so they are very united. Ye Chen bullied one of their people, and they definitely won’t let it go!" Tang Qiu said.

The group fell into silence.

Ye Chen spoke, "Doesn’t matter, what’s there to fear? Let them come if they wish! We have nothing to be afraid of!"

Even if the opposite side is Level 40, Ye Chen remained unfazed!

Don’t forget there is the existence of Genggeng, which the other side has absolutely no way to deal with!

And now, Ye Chen doesn’t only have Genggeng as a trump card.

With the System Mall in hand, Ye Chen feared nothing.

Just then, Ye Chen’s phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Wang Zhan calling.

"Hello, Brother Wang Zhan, what’s up?" Ye Chen greeted Wang Zhan rather politely.

After all, every time he sought Wang Zhan’s help, Wang Zhan never refused.

"Brother Ye Chen, can you count how many ordinary people under the age of sixty are there on your side, how many are physically healthy, and how many are disabled? How many are male, and how many are female?"

"Hmm? What’s up?" Ye Chen was curious.

Wang Zhan was suddenly doing statistics on ordinary people, and the statistics were so comprehensive. In the Aggregation District’s Law Enforcement Alliance, there were many ordinary people, and among them, some individuals sustained severe injuries amidst the chaos. Internal injuries could be healed, but severed limbs were more challenging to manage.

"That’s the intention from above. I don’t know exactly what it’s about either. Just do the statistics, and I’ll contact you if there’s a situation."

"Okay, sure."

With that, Ye Chen hung up the phone.

"What happened? Why are they doing statistics on ordinary people?" Lin Nuoyi asked.

Evidently, they all heard the conversation earlier.

Ye Chen shook his head, "I don’t know either. I asked Wang Zhan, and he doesn’t know."

"Alright then, I’ll go and tell Rakshasa to do the count. By the way, should we also do statistics on the ordinary people in our Star Alliance?"

Lin Nuoyi inquired.

Ye Chen nodded, "Yes, do the count."

Lin Nuoyi was just about to leave when Ye Chen called him back.

"By the way, when doing the statistics, separate them into two reports, one for the Star Alliance and one for the Law Enforcement Alliance."

"Alright!"

The reason Ye Chen was doing this was because he was unsure of Wang Zhan’s purpose.

After Lin Nuoyi left, the room returned to silence.

Ye Chen, Zhu Qiang, and Iron Bull didn’t really mind the Law Enforcement Alliance Preparation Army’s matters, but Yu Nian and Tang Qiu appeared quite preoccupied.

That evening, Lin Nuoyi returned with two reports, containing clear statistical information.

Ye Chen looked through them and sent the information of the Law Enforcement Alliance to Wang Zhan.

One wouldn’t have known without looking, but upon seeing it, one was a bit surprised. Among the ordinary people in the Aggregation District’s Law Enforcement Alliance, there were as many as 100,000 people between the ages of 40 and 60.

Among them, one in twenty were disabled, with 45,000 males and nearly 60,000 females.

As for the number of people in the Law Enforcement Alliance’s Preparation Army, there were nearly 20,000, which was just the number of those aged 16 to 18.

The younger ones were still receiving formal education and knowledge.

The next morning.

Ye Chen was already on his way to Qing County, this time traveling alone, leaving Yu Nian and the others in the Aggregation District to go fight monsters and level up.

Now all five of them were at Level 24, with only Tang Qiu lagging a bit in experience; Yu Nian and the other four were on the verge of leveling up.

In two days, they could enter the Experience Secret Realm again, and by then, all five should be able to reach Level 28.

An hour later, Ye Chen arrived at the center of Qing County.

Qing County had entirely transformed into a monster’s paradise, with monsters everywhere at a glance, mostly around Level 22.

However, as he passed by, he could still see many humans in the sky.

What piqued Ye Chen’s curiosity was that some of these people weren’t part of the Star Alliance.

This left Ye Chen a bit puzzled.

In no time, Ye Chen arrived at the safety zone of Qing County.

Fortunately, the safety zone hadn’t changed much since it was first established, still resembling the state when he had left.

Now, there was no longer a need for so many gatekeepers at the safety zone, as there were no ordinary people inside needing protection.

After so long of settling and training, even those at lower levels had all surpassed Level 15, capable of self-preservation.

On the city gate, only two people were on guard.

Seeing someone flying over, the two raised their vigilance, gripping their weapons, and looked at Ye Chen cautiously.

As the figure approached, their faces lit up with joy, shouting excitedly, "Lord Ye Chen! It’s Lord Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen came up to them and smiled, "Long time no see, how’s everything lately?"

"Pretty good, Lord Ye Chen, why are you here? How are things on your side?"

The two were somewhat excited, asking eagerly.

"All good, by the way, is Huo Yu around?"

"Lord Huo Yu went out, but Lord Golden Pupil is still inside."
