It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 668 [086] The Battle for the World's Cutest Person

Qin Jiandan is enough to rescue the trapped workers and deal with the floating jellyfish in the spider web tunnel.

Even if the landslide was just a cover-up and a trap set by an assassin who was eyeing the 10 billion bounty, Qin Jiandan was not afraid.

Qin Jiandan did not ask Grandma Qianxing to help deal with the landslide problem in the Border Town Special Zone.

To put it simply, it's like "killing a chicken with a sledgehammer". To put it more generally, Granny Qianxing is the type with high attack and low defense - she is obviously a strong person who can die together with the God of Death, but if she encounters an enemy with incompatible attributes, and perishes together with an opponent who does not match her level, wouldn't that be unfair?

"Young Master, you don't have to come and rescue the workers yourself, we have a rescue team!"

Three robotic arms of different models surrounded the entrance to the tunnel and were using welding torches to cut the twisted steel beams below. Frozen yellow sand slid down from the edge of the collapse, revealing illegal support frames that had rusted into a dark red color.

Stepping on the tortoise-shell-shaped ice shell formed on the ground mixed with sand and snow, Qin Jiandan used all his eyesight to look deep into the tunnel.

The rescue work can indeed be handed over to the rescue team, but this is the first spider web tunnel theft that was carried out in cooperation with Ding Jingshuang to steal and transport the phlogiston crystal.

If the trapped workers are discovered by the floating jellyfish, this route may be known to the company, affecting the subsequent transportation of phlogiston crystals.

Qin Jiandan's goal was to rescue the workers while completely avoiding overlap between the rescue route and the patrol route of the floating jellyfish.

This is not something that an ordinary rescue team can do.

"Master, I'm Fengjian, and I'm doing a sound check now."

The "phantom neural membrane" installed behind the ear acts as an invisible communication device. It connects to the alarm bracelet through subcutaneous bioelectric induction to ensure the privacy of group chats.

"After exchanging data with the on-site drilling vehicle, the system showed that three workers were trapped. Their vital signs were stable, but their exit was blocked and they could not climb to the ground."

"There may be floating jellyfish wandering around them, and the number is uncertain. If we have to take action, I hope you can kill the floating jellyfish in seconds and not give them a chance to send a message back to the company."

"The communication signals in the spider web tunnel will be interfered with. Although this will cause the floating jellyfish to delay the transmission, it will also be the same for us. After the young master goes down the well, my call may be disconnected."

Qin Jiandan walked to the assembled drilling vehicle. The rescue team leader was wiping the thermal imaging screen with an alloy prosthesis. Suddenly, a half-human silhouette flashed among the snowflake noise.

"Master," the rescue team leader explained, "the workers should be hiding in the uncollapsed tunnel branch, but unfortunately they are out of the detection range of the equipment."

"Please pay attention to what's going on up there. I'll be back soon."

Qin Jiandan jumped down from the tunnel, and after falling more than 10 meters, he lightly tapped his toes and stepped steadily on a pile of gravel mixed with sand and snow.

Dense dust was suspended in the faint light coming down from the tunnel, and the noise from the drilling machine above never stopped.

After Qin Jiandan adjusted to the darkness ahead for a while, he groped his way forward along the rock wall.

"Big Jibao, Second Jibao, Third Jibao, are you there?"

Before going down the mine, Qin Jiandan confirmed the list of missing workers, who were the three Jibao brothers from the Ainu village.

These three funny guys heard that being a miner offered high subsidies, so after finishing their work at the ecological tower, they came to steal holes and transport ore.

As a result, when the collapse occurred, because they were not familiar with underground operations, everyone else escaped and only the three brothers were left.

No reply.

Just as the name of the spider web tunnel suggests, there are many branch roads extending in front of Qin Jiandan.

The drilling machine was still working, expanding the hole to lower the rescue equipment. The considerable noise further increased the difficulty of communication between Qin Jiandan and the workers.

Suddenly, a pistol was pointed at Qin Jiandan's lower back.

"Don't move."

Qin Jiandan immediately raised his hands because he already knew the other party's identity.

"Mu Yue? Why are you here too? You are pregnant!"

The cat-eared sheriff put her revolver back into her duty belt, her eyes glowing faintly in the darkness.

"I've said before that the physical fitness of the Fury people is enough to offset the burden of early pregnancy. My flexibility has not been affected. Didn't you notice it immediately when I jumped down from the tunnel?"

Indeed, the drilling machine above was making too much noise. Cat Girl was light and the sound she made when she landed was much smaller than Qin Jiandan's.

"But I can do things like saving people by myself..."

Mu Yue interrupted Qin Jiandan's words. Her uniform had already been switched to a tight mode to facilitate movement.

"I feel so suffocated staying indoors every day. Can't I just go out and relax?"

"You call underground rescue a relaxing activity?"

Qin Jiandan tried his best to protect Mu Yue behind him. He found an extinguished mining lamp rolling to the ground under his feet. On the right side, half of an iron frame protruded from the landslide, with a torn canvas glove hanging at the end, and a few pieces of broken ore stuck to the fingertips.

Compared to Qin Jiandan's cautious moves in the dark, Mu Yue seemed more at ease.

"For me, catching criminals and enforcing justice is the equivalent of a distraction. You said that my current condition is not suitable for combat, so I will assist in the rescue underground and use my night vision ability."

Just as Mu Yue said, she easily walked in front of Qin Jiandan, directed Qin Jiandan to bypass many obstacles, and chose the widest fork in the road with the most human traces.

While Qin Jiandan was praising his wife in his heart, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Aren't you afraid of encountering mutant rats in the mine?"

Mu Yue's body tensed up, but she forced herself to remain calm.

"I am a cat now. How can a cat be afraid of a mouse?"

Although he said this verbally, Qin Jiandan clearly heard Mu Yue's pace slowing down, and he kept whispering to himself, "I am a cat, I am a cat, I am a cat..." The humming sound of crystal resonance came from deep in the tunnel. Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue turned a corner and saw the phlogiston crystal veins on the cave wall jumping and flashing like blood vessels.

Qin Jiandan accidentally touched them, which immediately triggered a chain of fluorescence. In an instant, hundreds of scarlet light patterns rushed deep into the spider web tunnel, illuminating an overturned transport truck in a branch road.

There are food packages in the transport truck, so that must be it.

"It's safe nearby." The two cat ears on Mu Yue's head were working at an overclocked speed. "I didn't hear any sound of electricity when the floating jellyfish moved."

Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue walked a dozen steps along the front of the transport truck and saw the three Jibao brothers huddled together for warmth.

"Young Master? Chief Sheriff Mu Yue? You came to save us, you are such good people!"

"We wanted to climb out along the support frame, but a floating jellyfish came patrolling nearby. We were so scared that we ran over here and got lost!"

"That jellyfish is very perverted. It must want to wrap its tentacles around us and force us to become star slaves!"

The beliefs of the three Jibao brothers are very evil. They believe that the world is ruled by the "will of the planet" and if they do something that makes the will of the planet unhappy, they will be captured and become slaves of the will of the planet.

On the back of their work clothes was printed a particularly eye-catching slogan: "If you don't work hard today, you'll be a star slave tomorrow."

With the red light emitted by the phlogiston crystal vein, Qin Jiandan could clearly see Sanjibao's face covered with food residues.

"You still have the time to eat here? Is this a mine accident or a spring outing?"

Faced with Qin Jiandan's ridicule, Sanjibao felt a little ashamed, but he did not stop eating chocolate and energy bars.

"After the collapse, we found food on the transport vehicle. It would be a waste if we didn't eat it. This is also to accumulate physical strength for a protracted battle!"

"If we are full, even if we can't go out, at least we can be full and die."

"It's a pity that if we die here, no one will protect Linda Lulu for us. She is so kind, she will definitely be bullied!"

Mu Yue had already pulled out his revolver again and took a defensive stance.

"Leave quickly. The sound of electricity is about a hundred meters away and has not gone far."

Because of her pregnancy, or perhaps because of the cat girl's characteristics, after seeing the three Jibao brothers eating together, Mu Yue secretly took out a small dried fish from her service belt and put it into her mouth behind Qin Jiandan's back.

Qin Jiandan, who didn't notice this, was still complaining: "Who told you that being kind will get you bullied? The Night Dragon Society is an organization that punishes evil and promotes good! Linda Lulu works at Lao Wang's Fried Chicken Shop. Boss Wang and I will take care of her!"

Mu Yue ate in a hurry and choked a little on the dried fish. She suddenly became angry due to the interference of various hormones.

"You're going to take care of Linda Lulu again, right? How long do you plan to take her to bed this time?"

Qin Jiandan was startled and said hurriedly: "Linda Lulu is a boy! Mu Yue, don't you know?"

"Eh?"

When Mu Yue was 15 years old, she visited the Ainu village to investigate the "police car bombing case" and met Linda Lulu, who was a nun at the time.

Qin Jiandan revealed Linda Lulu's identity as a lesbian during his time travel, but this timeline was eliminated by the Time Eater. Mu Yue did not have any interaction with Linda Lulu afterwards, so he was kept in the dark.

The three Jibaos spoke together: "What's wrong with boys? We want cute boys! Linda Lulu is sweet and soft. She is the treasure of our whole village... no, the whole world!"

"Her sister Omaso is a girl, but she plays with poop every day and smells like poop!"

"Young Master, how dare you look down on Linda Lulu's charm? If you don't admit that Linda Lulu is the cutest person in the world, we don't want you to save us! We might as well finish these snacks and starve to death!"

Mu Yue got Linda Lulu's gender wrong and felt embarrassed that she was jealous of boys.

The three Jibao brothers got angry and refused to follow Qin Jiandan to the well no matter what.

Qin Jiandan snorted coldly: "Don't dream! Linda Lulu may be cute, but he can never be the cutest person in the world. Mu Yue is the cutest person in the world!"

"what?"

The red light from the crystal veins had already cast a red hue on Mu Yue's face, and now it was even redder.

Facing the stunned Jibao brothers, Qin Jiandan continued:
"If you don't admit that Mu Yue is the cutest person in the world, I won't save you. You can only eat these snacks and then starve to death!"

"Ah...this..."

The second and third Jibao didn't react, but the first Jibao slapped his forehead and said, "Young Master actually used the magic we invented to deal with us!"

The cat girl was so embarrassed that the pink on the inside of her ears turned several shades darker.

"That's enough... Have you guys had enough of the noise? The floating jellyfish may come on patrol at any time, so if you want to leave, now's the time."

“Kala——”

Suddenly a small piece of gravel fell down, and at a narrow fork in the road located at a high place, a suspicious figure was huddled there.

Mutated rat!

Mu Yue raised the gun and used all his restraint not to shoot immediately.

The suspicious figure seemed to be afraid of the pistol. It wanted to go into the fork in the road, but it lost its footing in panic, let out a "ouch", and fell into Mu Yue's arms, scraping against the wall of the cave.

Mu Yue subconsciously caught the other person, and after a closer look, she discovered that it was not a mutant rat, but a little Furui girl with the characteristics of a mole.

Qin Jiandan was very surprised: "Jiujiuzi? You dug a hole and got here?"
