NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

How could it be there? Li Zuoyi was puzzled.

In the Ark, not everyone can enjoy the preferential treatment of Ark residents. Many people are blocked outside the prosperous areas of the Ark and blocked by the high walls of the Ark.

If someone sneaks in, they are usually arrested by the police patrolling the area.

These people do not have resident chips and are not certified as Ark residents. Their life or death is irrelevant to the Ark.

As a result, the outer perimeter has become a haven for gangs, crime, smuggling, and outlaws, a place that the residents of the Ark would never want to set foot in.

Ethel's money was transferred to the outer edge of the region, essentially disappearing without a trace.

"Can you find the account?" Li Zuoyi asked.

“It’s difficult. The other party has already transferred the money into multiple anonymous black cards,” Anik said.

"You're quick on your feet..."

For the first time in his life, Li Zuoyi regretted wasting his time watching porn.

"Can you confirm the coordinates at the time of the transfer?" he asked.

The outer edge region is large, but it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be found.

No matter who the other party is, he insists that they return the money.

"Coordinates being sent."

……

'Jingle Bell'

Number Four was woken up by a phone call. He sat up in bed and answered the phone: "What is it?"

"Sir, there's been activity in the account you're monitoring. Three hundred million credit points have been transferred to an account located in the outer area."

Since they want money, it seems it's not that person's ghost after all, and Number Four felt a sense of relief.

Without the psychological pressure, Number Four casually said, "Send some men to bring that person back alive."

“Yes, sir, but it’s the local gang…”

The gangs in the outer districts are notoriously difficult to deal with. If you arrest someone on their turf without notifying them, it can easily escalate into a shootout.

Especially the underworld queen...

“As before, I will issue you the permits. It doesn’t matter how many people you kill,” Number Four said.

"Okay, sir."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The 'Surprise' at the Door

late at night.

Just as Li Zuoyi was about to go to the outer edge area, Lapi suddenly ran into the office.

"Commander, an emergency!"

Li Zuo had no choice but to temporarily abandon his idea of ​​heading to the outer edge of the region and asked, "What happened?"

“A team of Lechers has been spotted rapidly advancing toward this location, three kilometers north of the outpost’s exit. I’ve already woken everyone up.”

Lapi glanced back at Niki and the others who were rushing over outside and said, "When I went to call Marian just now, she seemed a little off."

Marian looked to be in great pain, and her eyes were bloodshot, but this time she persevered.

With Lecher's sudden attack and Marianne's illness occurring at the same time, it's hard not to connect the dots.

As the captain of the counterattack force, Lapi felt it necessary to remind them: "Commander, this attack may be related to Marian..."

“It might be related to her.” Li Zuoyi spoke up for Lapi beforehand. He picked up the longsword he had raised and tucked it into his waistband, looking at Lapi: “If it really was Marian who brought it here, I will find a way to deal with it.”

“I understand,” Labi nodded.

At this moment, Niki and her team arrived at the office, fully armed and carrying guns.

Li Zuoyi put on his military uniform and cap, and said to them, "In this emergency, everyone is mobilized. Mission objective: proceed to the ground and eliminate Lecher, located three kilometers north of the base exit."

The outpost's automated armed forces were insufficient, so Nikki had to fill the gap in combat power.

"Yes!" the girls shouted in unison.

"Move out!"

At Li Zuoyi's command, he led Niki and her men to the surface, where they encountered the enemy two kilometers from the exit.

After four hours of fighting, they successfully and completely annihilated the entire Lecher force.

Thanks to Li Zuoyi's presence as the combat commander, Niki and her comrades were not harmed.

The group returned to the base and wearily entered their office.

"I'm so tired..."

Anies swayed and collapsed onto the office sofa.

"Hey, don't touch the sofa with your dusty body like that! It's a hassle to clean!" Rita, who was lying on the floor, scolded.

"Ugh, that old woman is so annoying..."

"Who are you calling an old woman?!"

Anis glanced at the clock on the wall and shouted, "Ah, it's already this time? My morning drama has already started! Commander! Can I borrow your TV?"

"Ah."

Anis quickly got up and turned on the TV.

The television was broadcasting the news: "Last night, the central government received a terrorist attack warning from the outer perimeter terrorist organization 'Enter Paradise,' which stated that 'Enter Paradise' would attack Block 11 of the Ark residential area tonight. The central government is currently evacuating the residents of Block 11..."

Anies changed the channel and tuned to the program he wanted to watch.

Li Zuoyi remembered this "Entering Paradise" organization. They were a notorious extremist group in the outer perimeter of the district, and they frequently carried out terrorist attacks on Ark a few years ago.

After several years of silence, I never expected him to suddenly make a comeback today.

Lapi was somewhat surprised to see that the commander had changed into casual clothes: "Commander, are you going out?"

"Yes, I have something to take care of." Li Zuo nodded.

This sudden attack by Lecher made him truly understand how weak the outpost's weaponry was.

If the Lecher unit had been discovered any later, the battle would inevitably have spread to the outpost.

The fragile outposts couldn't hold out for long.

The outpost needs to be reinforced.

Li Zuoyi didn't want to end up like his predecessors, the commanders of the outpost bases, who were constantly dealing with the ground attacks by Lecher.

Therefore, the 300 million credits that were transferred out were quite important.

But so much time has already been wasted, and I don't know if there's still a chance to get it.

But we still need to go and see.

“Commander, is it because of me…” Marian clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes lowered, not daring to look up.

She clearly only wanted to stay by the commander's side, but because of her, the commander had to travel around everywhere.

The two ended up spending less time together.

She even doubted herself: Would it have been better if she had died sooner? Would the commander have had it easier...?

“No, it’s just about raising funds. The outpost can’t always rely on you all alone.” Li Zuoyi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: “Don’t think of yourself as a burden.”

“Commander!” Marian hugged the commander’s waist, pressed her face against his chest, and felt his warmth.

The warmth made her head feel less painful.

“Then please rest for a while; you’ve just finished a battle,” Labi suggested.

"fine."

Li Zuoyi refused; any later and he might not even get to drink the soup.

Seeing that the commander was carrying a longsword when he left, Lapi knew that he might be going to a dangerous place: "Then, please be careful."

“Please be careful,” Marian said with a smile.

"Be careful, Commander." Anies waved to the commander.

"Yes, Lapi, you are now in charge of the outpost."

"Yes."

After greeting everyone, Li Zuoyi drove away from the outpost and drove through many blocks.

The surrounding scenery gradually changed from bustling to dilapidated, from being crowded with people to being deserted.

After about two hours, the car stopped in front of a high metal wall.

Li Zuo got out of the car and stepped onto the cracked road that hadn't been maintained for a long time, observing the abrupt high metal wall.

The high wall is about seven or eight meters high and extends to the left and right without end.

Li Zuoyi knew that once he climbed over this wall, he would reach the infamous Outer District.

The problem is, how do we get there...?

The nearly five-meter-high gate was locked, and he had neither access control nor instructions from higher-ups.

Li Zuoyi touched the long sword at his waist: Cutting it open... it's not impossible, but the subsequent trouble would be endless, so let's forget about it.

'Drip drip'

The message came on the phone.

When I took it out, I saw that it was sent by Anik.

I opened the message, and inside was an electronic card and an address.

The message also included: "Personal access card for the barrier wall, valid for one day. Also included are the coordinates of the person who made the transfer."

Anick was really timely; did he know he was near the outer edge of the area because he checked his phone's location?

That's so thoughtful.

Thank you, Anik.

【……You're welcome.】

After replying with a thank-you message, Li Zuoyi took his phone and walked to the machine in front of the door, then touched it.

A cacophony of mechanical clanging could be heard from inside the gate.

*Thud!*

Unlocked.

'Rumble rumble rumble'

Two heavy, massive metal doors slowly opened. Li Zuoyi stood in front of the doors with his head down, thinking that after going inside, he would first go to the coordinates given by Anik to see if he could find any information.

It must be due to the personal access card that the gate was only open to a width of three people.

Li Zuoyi, with his head down, was about to go in when he noticed that something seemed amiss on the other side.

Directly opposite him, on the other side of the door, were two corpses stacked together, a man and a woman.

Blood was still gushing from the holes in the body, so it must not have been dead for long.

Shooting... Li Zuo looked up and saw a row of soldiers with guns raised a dozen meters away from the corpse. They were wearing the same combat uniforms.

At that moment, all the soldiers aimed at him.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Corpse Speaks

The soldier in the middle stepped forward, passed the two corpses, and came to the door. He asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Those who are capable of opening doors on their own are no ordinary people.

The captain of the soldiers did not dare to be negligent, and his tone remained quite polite.

Seeing the soldiers behind the captain pointing their guns at him, Li Zuoyi said in a cold tone, "I have an urgent mission, and I just wanted to check how your mission is going."
