“Just running away won’t work, it’ll make people think we’re easy to bully. I know another place, there’s a unit under Koshima’s army that specializes in collecting treasures from the various Forbidden Zones in the north, their inventory must still have a lot of treasures,” Shadow said with a smile, sitting in the back of the pickup truck. “Pull over, I’ll go get them for you.”

“No!” Qing Chen stared at Shadow impassively.

Shadow raised an eyebrow: “That unit’s database contains many of the Forbidden Zone’s rules. And, such a professional unit, how could they have few good things? Don’t worry, I’ll only use my abilities for a while, it won’t be anything.”

“No!” Qing Chen said with grief and indignation: “Just stay here honestly, why do you always remember those fruits, after you leave, your Forbidden Zone will also grow fruits!”

Shadow said angrily: “Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?”

“You annoyed me first!” Qing Chen said: “You clearly can’t overdraw your life anymore, you’ve been so seriously backlashed, why do you still have to use it. Zard, Yang Yang and I are enough along the way, let’s get to Forbidden Zone 00 quickly, so we can rest assured!”

The pickup truck swayed and jolted along the bumpy road, the rattling sound was unusually rhythmic.

The atmosphere in the truck bed was somewhat tense.

Yang Yang and Zhang Mengqian were playing rock-paper-scissors, neither dared to interfere with the bickering between the two.

While playing rock-paper-scissors, they would occasionally steal glances at Shadow’s expression, fearing that Shadow Master would get angry and beat Qing Chen up in the truck bed.

No one in this car is Shadow’s opponent.

“You child, you’re getting more and more disrespectful,” Shadow frowned: “I tell you, no one has ever dared to control me like this!”

Qing Chen chuckled: “Now there is, gaining knowledge, isn’t it?”

Shadow sighed: “But I, the Shadow of the Qing Family, can only run away, it would be very embarrassing if people knew. Even if we’re running away, we still have to do something, so that they know I’m not made of clay! According to my plan, when being chased and killed, I’ll seize one place a day, that way I’ll have a lot of Face[-], showing that I’m not in a sorry state.”

“Spare me,” Qing Chen said disdainfully: “If you feel that you’re walking too slowly, let’s drive back now to grab the limelight, and die together.”

Shadow grumbled: “Why are you being unreasonable.”

Yang Yang snickered aside.

Shadow clearly enjoyed this feeling of being cared for by Qing Chen, but he had to pretend to be against it, the more he tried to cause trouble, the more anxious Qing Chen would be.

The more anxious Qing Chen was, the happier he would be.

What a strange pleasure.

Qing Chen looked at Shadow: “We’re about to be chased and killed, why aren’t you worried at all.”

“Worried about what?” Shadow said strangely: “Those people from the Qing Family haven’t given enough tokens of their loyalty yet, Chen Yu and Li Bingxi won’t believe them. Since the two Demi-Gods won’t come, then what do I have to be afraid of.”

“So, what do you think those people from the Qing Family will use as tokens of their loyalty, that Chen Yu and Li Bingxi will believe them?” Qing Chen asked.

“I don’t know that,” Shadow said with a smile: “Look, I told you to take over the Secret Spy Agency’s power quickly, so that you can have a higher perspective on the problem, and the information you know will be more comprehensive. You’re smart, but your worldview limits your upper limit of thinking, this isn’t good. After this matter is finished, go to Old Shen first, get what you should get, then you’ll be qualified to lead the Secret Spy Agency, Shadow Squad, Guardians’ Union, Masonic Lodge, Daybreak.”

Five organizations are already a formidable force.

At this time, Shadow looked towards the sky: “There’s a drone following us in the clouds above, I guess they’ll be here soon. But I’m not really worried about them now, I’m more worried about something else.”

Qing Chen was stunned: “What?”

“Where did Shendai Qianchi’s body go,” Shadow said, his expression turning serious: “In the last Demi-God battle, San Yue from the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal didn’t go north, but sent a little girl, Si Yue. This is suspicious, San Yue was not seen when the Demi-God fell, and the other little crows didn’t continue north, this is very strange. Why wasn’t Shendai Qianchi’s body collected? Where did the body go? I haven’t figured this out, but I know there must be a problem.”

City 10.

A gambler, drunk, staggered towards his home in the lower third district.

He took out his key and opened the door, and in his hazy state, he saw something rummaging through his house.

When he looked closely, it was a rat, as big as a basketball!

The gambler thought he was seeing things, he grinned and picked up a chair: “Damn casino cheated me out of my money, even this rat is bullying me, get out!”

But strangely, the rat didn’t run.

Or rather, it didn’t run away as before, but stared fixedly at the gambler.

At this moment, the gambler felt a little hairy in his heart, he swung the chair at the rat.

But the next moment, the basketball-sized rat nimbly dodged to the side, climbed onto the gambler’s back, and bit down on the carotid artery!

The gambler’s blood gushed from his neck, splashing into the rat’s mouth, overflowing the rat’s mouth, and flowing down its body.

He wanted to scream for help, but he had only just shouted when the rat’s claws cut his throat.

Before the gambler died, he couldn’t figure out why the rat could grow so big, why the rat was no longer afraid of people?

The rat lay on the gambler’s body, cautiously looking at the door, and after making sure there was no movement, it made a squeaking sound to the outside, as if calling for something.

At this moment, Qin Shuli was walking in the lower third district, looking at a newly renovated building.

City 18 and City 10, it’s not an exaggeration to say that they are the bases of the Guardians’ Union.

Luo Wanya first started in City 18, with the protection of the Eternal Society and the Li Clan, and then followed Qing Chen to City 10, with Qing Yi of the PCA Federation’s intelligence agency covering them.

The Leader gave such a good environment, if the Guardians’ Union still couldn’t develop, then Luo Wanya would feel ashamed.

So, after Qing Chen’s pilot program in a certain city was successful, cities 18 and 10 immediately became advanced demonstration areas, the Home Families in these two cities worked hard, hoping to win an advanced unit award at the Leader’s meeting at the end of the year.

Winning the award for outstanding advanced unit not only brings honor, but also bonuses.

Recently, the Guardians’ Union has also become wealthy.

And Qin Shuli, because of his management skills, participated in many lower third district renovation projects in City 18 and made great contributions, and has now been transferred to City 10 to work independently.

He became a member of the Golden Family.

Qin Shuli’s rapid promotion was due to two aspects. One is that he has experience in managing factories and once had hundreds of workers under him.

Some of the other family members are students, some are workers, although they are picking generals among dwarfs, he himself is also growing rapidly.

The other is that everyone knows that Luo Wanya intends to take care of him and wants him to live better.

At this moment, Qin Shuli looked at the newly renovated building and smiled at the family members beside him: “Let’s start exterminating the four pests today.”

In the Outer World, the four pests are sparrows, rats, flies, and mosquitoes, sparrows are exterminated because they eat food, now there’s no need to worry about this, so now the four pests have replaced sparrows with cockroaches.

The Home Families wore gas masks and sprayed insecticides into the building, taking the elevator from the top 91st floor down to spray medicine.

Wherever the family members passed, cockroaches, rats, and insects in every crack all fled.

However, all the exits were blocked by the family members to prevent them from escaping the building and going elsewhere.

Just as the Home Families were cleaning the second floor, they suddenly saw dark red blood flowing from the crack of a door, drying into blood scabs on the ground.

Several family members looked at each other, and one of them decisively kicked open the door.

With a bang, the door opened.

“Grass!” The Home Families saw that there were six or seven rats in the room lying on a human corpse and gnawing on it. They did not run away when they saw humans, but instead bared their fangs and slowly approached the Home Families outside the door.

The Home Families endured the nausea in their hearts, and one of them said: “Kill them!”

As they spoke, the rats rushed towards the family members one by one, and the basketball-sized rats directly rushed towards the family members’ faces.

However, the Home Families are not that unlucky gambler.

Their skills are much faster than the rats, and for a while, all the rats missed.

The rats fell to the ground and looked at each other, as if they were communicating: These humans are a little different!

The Home Families also looked at each other and sensed something wrong.

If one rat accidentally got fat, it could still be explained, but now seven rats have all grown into this shape, it’s definitely not normal!

Moreover, the speed of those rats just now was at least F-Class!

Fortunately, the Home Families are now at least mass-produced D-Class!

After all, this is the base of the Guardians’ Union, with high average strength and quality!

“Kill them!” Three family members rushed towards the rats in the corridor, three rats refused to give up and rushed towards the family members again, but were grabbed by the neck and twisted to death.

Seeing that something was wrong, the remaining four rats turned to flee.

The family members said in their Bluetooth headsets: “Block the exits, family members downstairs, be careful, rats are escaping, block the exits quickly! Be careful of the rats, the rats here are very fierce!”

Downstairs, Qin Shuli, who was wearing a headset, also heard this shout, he frowned, does killing rats require so much trouble.

No, the Home Families are now veterans who have fought with gangs, they wouldn’t be so surprised, something strange must have happened.

He immediately led people to the building’s exit: “Quick, support!”

At this time, four rats were fleeing frantically, they no longer resisted the pursuit, when they reached the exit, three rushed towards the Home Families, and the other escaped through a gap, and disappeared into an alley in a flash.

Qin Shuli frowned: “How can there be such big rats?”

“I don’t know,” the family members said: “When we found the rats, they were eating people!”

Qin Shuli took a deep breath: “The work of exterminating the four pests cannot be delayed, let the Home Families temporarily put aside their work, we will fully organize the extermination of the four pests, and strive to sweep the lower third district within two days, at least we can’t let these rats endanger public safety.”

“Ah, the workload of the entire lower third district is a bit large,” the Home Families exclaimed.

Qin Shuli patiently said: “Everyone, work hard overtime, these rats are now endangering the safety of the people, we, the Guardians’ Union, have the responsibility and obligation to solve such problems. Okay? Everyone, work hard, also, prepare a set of pest control gas masks for me, I’ll go with everyone. After we’re done, let’s go eat mutton hotpot to celebrate!”

“Okay!” The Home Families chuckled: “Actually, it’s nothing to be tired, the Golden Family is right, we really need to think more about the safety of the people now, come on, let’s work!”

At this moment, the Guardians’ Union was at its most enthusiastic and hardworking stage, they ran towards hope, no matter how hard they worked, they didn’t feel tired, only felt full of energy.

Within a day, the Guardians’ Union established a special team to carry out a special campaign to exterminate the four pests.

They comprehensively combated rats and insects in the lower third district, and many abnormally large rats were killed, and many more escaped back into the sewers.

In the dark sewers, a group of rats ran through the sewage, rushing towards the most central part of the city, fleeing all the time.

In the underground of the fifth district, a rat that seemed to be more than a person tall lay on the ground, its fur was covered with cracks, and its muscles were knotted and strong like a bulldog.

The cracks in its fur were caused by its excessively rapid growth.

At this time, the Rat King had rats squeaking incessantly in front of it, the angry emotions seemed to be saying that the humans in the lower third district were a bit abnormal.

The Rat King’s eyes were bloodshot, it squeaked twice, the sound spread far from the sewer, like radio waves sending signals.

After a while, the entire rat population in the lower third district began to evacuate, converging towards other districts.

The lower third district was dirty, chaotic, and originally the most suitable place for rats to breed.

But now, the Guardians’ Union has driven the rat population that has not yet grown up to other corners of the city.

Not far from the Rat King, there were piles of newborn rat pups crawling in the sewer, their tender red skin would soon grow gray fur, and then they would grow as strong as their parents.

The Rat King suddenly looked at the end of the sewer, where several basin-sized cockroaches were slowly retreating.

The rat and insect groups were clearly separated.

They have both been awakened with some intelligence, and have territorial awareness.

In a valley in central China, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, wild rabbits in the mountains were gnawing on the bamboo shoots that had just grown in spring.

Just as it was gnawing on the tip of the bamboo shoot, it suddenly looked alertly into the forest, then turned and fled back into its rabbit hole, shrinking and not daring to move.

The sound of footsteps stepped on the leaves, and a mysterious unit suddenly appeared in the forest, and several warriors with cold faces walked in the back.

They each painted black and green camouflage, obscuring their original faces.

These masters walking in the back leisurely strolled in the forest, as if this kind of mountain wild crossing was effortless for them.

Everyone wore button-type bone conduction communication equipment, the black button was attached to the back of the ear, all sounds could be transmitted to the auditory ossicles through the bones, convenient, hidden, and efficient.

In the communication equipment, everyone maintained communication silence.

At the front of the team, someone was guiding the direction.

The team forded the stream, passed through the bamboo forest, and did not encounter any resistance.

Soon, they saw a sunflower field and tea fields in the distance.

In the sunflower field, Ling’s servants were cleaning, cleaning up the fallen leaves.

“Stop advancing, confirm the target!”

These soldiers who suddenly invaded the valley half-squatted until the reconnaissance was completed before continuing to advance.

Their goal was clear, to destroy this place, kill everything in this hidden location, destroy the tombstone in the sunflower field, and take away the ashes.

But at this moment, someone laughed from the distant mountain cliff: “What courage, you dare to use Ning Xiu’s ashes as a token of your loyalty, how, this can prove that you can fight Shadow Master to the death?”

This token of loyalty doesn’t require much manpower and material resources, but it can be used to prove the determination of some people in the Qing Family to fight Shadow to the death.

Chen Yu and Li Bingxi also knew very well that once someone joked about Ning Xiu with Shadow, that person would have no way out.

Because Shadow would not tolerate anyone defiling that delicate tomb, and Shadow would never use it as a bargaining chip.

The invading soldiers looked up and saw Qing Ye and Qing Qu standing on the mountain cliff.

Everyone’s hearts sank, the appearance of these two meant that the Shadow Squad was also here!

“Retreat! Retreat! Record the target coordinates, guide Fighter Jets to bomb, abandon the ashes, and directly raze this place to the ground!”

But at this moment, it was too late to retreat.

Behind them, 00 Shadow Squad B-Class Gene Soldiers had already rushed over, they possessed the most elite strength and killing skills, and Qing Ye and Qing Qu had merciless suppression over the entire battlefield.

In fact, from the moment they stepped into the valley, their fate had been decided.

The reason why Shadow didn’t bring Qing Ye and Qing Qu with him this time was because he knew very well what his weaknesses were.

He only has two weaknesses, one is Qing Chen, and the other is Ning Xiu.

So, if those people from the Qing Family wanted to show their determination to Chen Yu and Li Bingxi, they would definitely come here to die.

There was a wail in the valley, and the battle ended faster than expected.

In the Qing Family’s various factions, the Shadow Squad had always been a myth.

But some people expressed their dissatisfaction.

After all, the Shadow Squad rarely took action and was very secretive, no one knew their real record.

Those masters in the special forces who were still leisurely strolling until this moment knew that the Shadow Squad was the real Qing Family force.

In the wilderness, Shadow suddenly received a satellite phone call.

Qing Ye: “Boss, the people are dead, Ning Xiu’s ashes have also been retrieved and transferred.”

Shadow calmly said: “I know, get ready to keep killing, this time we’re going to kill many people.”
