Uchiha of Zero Zone

After Hoshimi-Masa took Yuma and Sokkaku away, Tsukishiro Liu immediately gave the order to rest.

Anti-Aircraft Section 6 is the core force in the exploration of this area. Now that three people are missing and Yue Chengliu is the only one left, it is difficult to guarantee that they will continue to advance without encountering danger.

Therefore, the best option now is to stop and wait, at least until Hoshimiya and the others come back.

Fortunately, the Phaethon siblings were in the exploration team in this area, so they were not in any danger now. Zhong Yan, who was hiding in the dark to protect them, had no intention of taking any action.

With Xing Jianyan's Xushou-level strength, dealing with a few giant Ikai should not be a problem. It is only a matter of time before they come back.

However, Yue Chengliu's willingness to wait here does not mean that other investigators are also willing to stay here.

You have to know that this is Cave Zero, the most dangerous place in the entire New Eli. Not to mention that there are swarms of Ikai roaming around in it, just staying in it for a long time may cause you to be eroded by Ikai.

Therefore, if it were anyone else, they would probably resist such an order.

But there was no way, since they had all participated voluntarily this time. Without Yue Chengliu's permission, they couldn't even return to Scott Outpost.

The only thing we can do now is to wait here.

However, the peaceful atmosphere was soon broken by a noise coming from afar.

Yue Chengliu was the first to react. She took a step forward, picked up the detection instrument and took a look. She was horrified to find that the concentration of ether around her was soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, she also heard calls for help from other areas through her communication headset.

It seems that the entire Hole Zero has undergone a change.

As for the source of the mutation, there is no doubt that it must come from the depths of Cave Zero.

"Could it be that something deep in the cave has sensed our actions?" Yue Chengliu pushed her glasses. She had realized something, but now was not the time to think about these things.

So, she yelled at all the investigators present: "Everyone, stay alert! Back away along the way you came. Don't go forward any further!"

As things developed to this point, Yue Chengliu was very clear that their mopping-up plan was likely to fail. The best option at the moment was to have the investigators present withdraw as quickly as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Such a decision is definitely not something she, a deputy section chief, can carry out, but in order to prevent the death of innocent people, she will never change her mind even at the risk of being punished.

"It's... It's Nineveh! Call Section 6! Call Section 6! Request reinforcements!"

At this moment, a roar coming from the earphone suddenly made Yue Chengliu stop.

She stood there in a daze, somewhat unconvinced by what the other person said.

Nineveh? The demon flower that had troubled them for so long? Wasn't it destroyed by the Uchiha? Why did it appear again?

Yue Chengliu's brain was working rapidly. Just as she was stunned, the building in the distance was suddenly collapsed by a powerful force.

The huge noise instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. They looked up and saw a huge creature slowly walking towards them.

The ether energy emitted from its body can actually increase the activity of the surrounding ether. The abnormality that Yue Chengliu just detected was caused by it.

"This level of ether energy... is even stronger than Nineveh. What's going on? There is no record of such an ether skeleton in the archives." Yue Chengliu's voice trembled. With the appearance of the super-large ether skeleton, the sense of ether oppression around it was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Some investigators with lower resistance even began to feel the suffocation and oppression.

"Oh no, the surrounding void nodes are being reconstructed. If this continues, no one here will be able to escape." Soon, Yue Chengliu discovered in despair that with the increase in ether activity, the originally stable void nodes were also slowly being reconstructed.

You know, these nodes are their retreat routes when they encounter a crisis. If they are reconstructed, no one will know what will be behind the nodes. Maybe they will be directly teleported to the core area of ​​Hole Zero.

By then, it would be a real chance of death.

"Everyone, hurry! Remove all equipment! Evacuate to the space nodes that have not yet been reconstructed!" Finally, Yue Chengliu issued an order that even she herself did not know what it did.

On the top of a building in the distance, Zhong Yan silently watched the super-large Israeli skeleton gradually approaching this side without taking any action.

Because he knew that there were more than one super-large skeletons that appeared today.

The nine areas swept this time were attacked by super-large skeletons almost at the same time. Even the Void Hunter had to think carefully before defeating that existence, so how could ordinary investigators be able to deal with it?

So soon, a large number of casualties occurred in various areas. Since the originally stable space nodes became chaotic due to the appearance of super-large corpses, those who tried to escape through the nodes could basically not escape the fate of death.

Only a very small number of elites, who knew to follow the original route, successfully escaped from the dangerous area and returned to Scott Outpost.

But this is only a minority after all. The vast majority of people, even including Ling and Zhe, are trapped in Hole Zero.

Even with an artificial intelligence as powerful as Fairy's, it is impossible to calculate a safe escape route in the first place.

As for the agents who were originally responsible for protecting them, after the rope maker became useless, they chose to flee from here immediately, completely disregarding the lives of the two.

As a result, the brother and sister, who were powerless, could only move forward slowly under the pushing of the crowd, and were finally separated by the crowd.

The good news is that their communication system is still functioning properly and they can hear each other, which is at least better than not understanding anything at all.

"Ling, I asked Fairy to analyze several spatial nodes with a relatively high escape rate. Given the current situation, this is the only way to escape from here." Ling, who was pushed by the crowd, heard Zhe's voice in the headphones.

When she heard the news, a look of determination flashed in her eyes.

There is no other choice but to do this.

Behind it, a huge super-large skeleton was wreaking havoc on the surrounding buildings. The investigators running behind were all crushed into powder, and it was still gradually attacking this side.

Seeing this scene, Ling no longer hesitated. She left the crowd and, under Fairy's instructions, went directly through a space node with an unknown destination.
