Absolute Zone Zero: Please call me the Dragon of Annihilation

Chapter 17 Du Lahan: Bai Lao

"Sorry, I didn't scare you, did I?" Ming Che retracted his right hand, which had transformed into its original shape, and smiled at the two people in front of him who were stunned by the shock. Ming Che ignored the monster-like looks they gave him and continued the topic he had just discussed:
"I still say the same thing. If you two need help, I'm happy to help." After saying this, Ming Che stood there, silently waiting for the other party's response. One second, two seconds, three seconds... The air seemed to freeze.

The smile on Mingche's face gradually froze. After waiting for about a minute, Mingche couldn't help but ask, "May I ask what you two think?"

"Ah! That..." The jacket robot was about to speak when the white-haired girl interrupted him. "Billy, shut up." Billy looked a little disappointed after being scolded, but he still resisted the urge to speak.

Seeing an opportunity, Ming Che quickly asked, "I wonder what's the problem with this white-haired girl?" The white-haired girl replied, "Our companions have already gone to find someone to rescue us, so we won't bother you." After the white-haired girl finished speaking, she still stared at Ming Che vigilantly.

The white-haired girl felt an inexplicable sense of danger towards Ming Che, as if the person standing before her wasn't a human, but a notorious corpse in human skin. "But! Ambi, will Boss Nicole really send someone to rescue us?"

Billy, standing nearby, held his face in his hands and anxiously asked the white-haired girl called Amby, "Billy, we have to trust Nicole. Even though she hasn't fulfilled her promise to treat me to a burger last time, I believe Nicole will find someone to rescue us."

"Pfft, cough cough!" Seeing that the other party could actually speak seriously and talk about his companion's stinginess so naturally, Ming Che couldn't help but think of the scene of the three of them standing in front of the restaurant window, drooling at the delicious food inside.

Ming Che, realizing he'd misjudged his thoughts, quickly shook his head, shaking off the strange fantasy. Seeing the other party didn't need his help, he tried to leave. But after a few steps, he stopped, his back to the two of them.

He reminded them, "If you believe me, just walk fifty steps forward, then turn right and walk thirty steps and you will be out." After saying that, Ming Che did not stay and slowly left the sight of the two.

Crete Hollow Outskirts

"Ling, have you found Billy and the others?" Nicole held Bomb in one hand and a black suitcase in the other. She shook Bomb in her hand anxiously, and Bomb No. 01's eyes turned into mosquito coils.

"Nicole...but stop shaking, I'm about to faint. Put Ies down first." Nicole remembered then that the rope maker's senses were synchronized with Bomb's, and she bent down embarrassedly and put Ies on the ground.

Ies, who fell to the ground, was still a little conscious. He supported himself with one foot and lifted it up from time to time. His round body fell to the ground due to unstable center of gravity. Looking at Ies, who was lying on the ground, he looked like he was beaten to a pulp.

"Pfft!" The culprit couldn't help but burst into laughter. Not satisfied yet, he even secretly took out his phone to record the scene. "Nicole, this is considered a work injury and should be added to the commission." A male voice came from Ies's voice box.

Then, Ies, who had been sprawled on the ground, leaped to his feet. He crossed his arms, his eyes focused, his expression serious, no longer the look of despair he'd had before. Upon hearing that the commission was also being increased, Nicole immediately stepped forward to play the victim.

"Wow, wow, Zhe, I have an orphanage to raise above me, and two of my companions are trapped in a cave below me. I'm so miserable!" Just as Nicole was about to continue her pity, Zhe controlled Ies and raised his hand to interrupt, "Stop, stop, stop!"

Nicole, still covering her face with her hands and pretending to cry, was interrupted and opened her eyes slightly to look at Ies. "Nicole, let's save them first. We can talk about the commission later." Hearing this, Nicole immediately smiled and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Liufen Street

In the small room inside the videotape, Zhe sat in front of his computer, rubbing his sore eyes. A blue halo appeared around his originally black pupils. Zhe picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, then turned to look at Ling, who was pretending to be dizzy on the sofa. Seeing the other person's slightly raised mouth, Zhe put down the water cup and sighed helplessly. He joked, "Ling, if you don't get up now, you're going to miss your favorite show."

Sure enough, the next second, Ling, who was lying on the sofa pretending to be unconscious, quietly reached out a hand to grab the remote control. "Beep!" As the TV series started, Lingmei also turned over to face the TV.

"News report: Around 1:00 PM yesterday, a large pothole appeared on the road on Shiliufen Street, preventing many cars from driving normally. The scene has been taken under control by the nearby Public Security Bureau." A video clip then appeared on the TV.

In the video, a pothole surrounded by a cordon appeared on the screen, with a police car with its lights on parked next to it. There were also several sheriffs and two police officers directing traffic around the big hole.

After the video ended, the host's voice sounded again: "According to people familiar with the matter, he saw a fireball flying out of the cave and then flying rapidly towards the north." Ling pressed the pause button on the remote control.

Sitting up and carefully observing the fireball on TV, Ling murmured, "Why does it look like a person?" Just when Ling was about to stick to the TV screen, "Bang, bang, bang!" A rapid knock on the door reached their ears.

Ling turned her head to look at the iron gate. A scarf with the number 06 written on it was hanging on the door. She opened the observation window on the iron gate. After seeing who was outside the door, number 06 jumped down the iron gate and came to Ling. "Yeah! Yeah!"

(The people at the door were from the Cunning Rabbit House.) Ling was also stunned after hearing this, and thought to herself: "Aren't the three people from the Cunning Rabbit House in the cave? Could it be someone else?" Thinking of this, Ling got up and walked to the iron gate, opened the observation window on the iron gate and looked outside.

She saw Billy waving happily at her, and behind him was Amby, who was listening to music with a calm expression. Ling rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and when she looked out the window again, Billy made a very showy move.

"Manager, open the door! We're back!" Billy's unique electronic voice rang out, and Ling now truly believed that Billy and Amby had returned. "Creaky!" The iron door was opened from the inside, and Ling looked at the two with a puzzled look on her face.

Inside the Cretan Caves

Ming Che came to an abandoned train station, "Ah~Ah! Ah!" A burst of miserable screams came from inside the station. Ming Che seemed not to hear the screams and continued to walk inside leisurely.

"Warning! A newly transformed Dullahan has been detected ahead. The transformed individual is Bai Lao, leader of the Red Fang Gang. Please be careful." The Dragon Soul in his ear gave Ming Che a real-time reminder. "Hmm~ Things are getting interesting."

Ming Che paused, placed the long box behind him on the ground, and opened it. "Nice to meet you again, old friend." Ming Che stroked his spear with his hand. "Hum!" As if sensing Ming Che's emotions, the Dragon Abyss Black Gold in the box emitted a humming sound.

…………

"Tap tap tap! Ahahaha~" Dullahan, transformed from Bai Lao, wandered around the station. A small silver safe sat quietly in the center of the station, as if it were a game where you had to defeat a boss and open a treasure chest.

Dullahan was the boss guarding the safe, the safe below was the reward for defeating Dullahan, and Mingche was the challenger seeking the reward. "Yawn~" Mingche yawned, then slowly walked into the station, Longyuan Black Gold Spear in one hand.
