Absolute Zone Zero: Please call me the Dragon of Annihilation

Chapter 23 Subduing the Mutant: Armored Hatti
"Brother, where are you going?!" Seeing Zhe's flustered appearance, Ling, who was lying down, suddenly sat up and tilted her head to look at the iron gate that was not yet closed. "Creak, creak~" At this moment, the iron gate slowly moved forward.

"06, don't close the door yet." With that, Ling quickly got up and left the small room. "Hmm! Hmm! (Hello, Master!)" Seeing Ling come out, Number 18, Bangbu, greeted her happily, "Little 18, did you see where your brother went?"

Ling asked number 18 behind the counter, "Hmm~ Hmm! (He went upstairs)" "Thank you, you're number 18, you continue to take care of the customers, I'll go upstairs to see what your brother is up to."

After saying that, Ling turned and walked towards the second floor. Number 18, who was behind her, took a videotape from under the counter. "Hmm...hmm... (Here's the videotape you wanted, customer.)" "Hmm, thank you. Number 18, you're the best, Bangbu."

The customer took the videotape from Number 18 and happily ruffled Number 18's hair. "Mmm, mmm~ (Don't mention it, it's what I should do.)"

"Brother, what are you doing?" Ling reached out and gently pushed open the half-closed iron gate in front of her. She came up behind Zhe, who seemed to be looking for something, and peeked out to try to see what he was doing.

Zhe picked out a Bomb memory chip with yesterday's date written on it from a pile of neatly arranged chips. Looking at the Bomb chip in her brother's hand, Ling asked疑惑地问道, "Brother, what are you doing with Ies's memory chip?"

Zhe looked at the chip in his hand and asked, "Ling, do you remember the person you met before entering the void with Nicole yesterday?" "Hmm~" Ling stroked her chin and thought for a while before her eyes lit up.

"Brother, are you talking about that strange guy carrying a long box?" Ling asked again, puzzled. "What does this have to do with you getting Ies's memory chip?" "Sigh! See for yourself."

Zhe opened his phone and scrolled to the anonymous post. Ling took the phone and carefully read the information. Then, Ling pointed to the image of Qingyi lying on the screen and exclaimed, "Isn't that Qingyi? How could this happen?"

Thinking it was his younger sister, Zhe, finally realizing the seriousness of the situation, was stunned. Helplessly, he took his phone, swiped his index finger to the left, revealing the second picture.

Zhe calmly looked at his silly little sister, already wondering how she would ever get married. "Brother, isn't this just an ordinary photo? What's so interesting about it?" Zhe didn't reply, but instead inserted the chip into Ies's body, who was standing to the side.

"Let's go down and see what happened before Ies entered the void yesterday." Zhe said, picking up Ies and quickly leaving the room. Seeing that her brother wasn't waiting for her again, Ling stomped her foot angrily. She said in a dissatisfied tone, "Brother!"

"Burp!" Ming Che lay comfortably on the ground, one hand gently stroking his slightly bulging belly. The scene zoomed out, and it was clear that there were no ether crystal pillars around Ming Che.

"Thump! Thump!" A sound like a heartbeat emanated from the dark golden crystal. As the heartbeat quickened, the surrounding ether concentration reached its peak. Ming Che, supporting himself with one hand on the ground, turned his head to look at the dark golden ether crystal pillar that was gradually beginning to crack.

The Dragon Soul also gave a timely warning, "Warning! The cluster of etheric crystals in front of you is about to explode. Please take cover." Ming Che narrowed his eyes. He could feel a sense of familiarity from it, as if an invisible thread was connecting them.

"Bang!" The next second, a huge explosion rang out, and Ming Che casually slapped away the flying ether crystal. "Roar!" A huge armored Hati raised its head and roared, its dark golden ether armor gleaming in the sunlight.

Its size was several times larger than the ordinary armored Hati, exuding an aura of dominance. Its pair of dark golden dragon horns were brimming with power. After venting its fury, the mutated, infamous armored Hati obediently came before Ming Che and lowered its enormous head.

"Notification! This is a newly promoted mutated infamous armored creature, Hati. Brief description: After a friendly exchange with the host, it voluntarily consumed the high concentration of ether crystals and dragon scales given by the host, enabling it to advance beyond its current level."

"Evaluation: Compared to the host's overwhelming strength, you're nothing more than a slightly larger shrimp." Ming Che, ignoring the dragon soul's prompts, casually pressed the sensor area of ​​the dragon-shaped earpiece for three seconds. "Notification sounds have been turned off for you." The electronic voice finished speaking, and the dragon soul's voice vanished completely. "What should I call you?" Ming Che took a few steps forward to the mutated, infamous armored creature, Hati, who was prostrate on the ground. He murmured, "How about I call you Little White?" Ming Che smiled faintly and reached out to stroke the creature's massive head.

"Roar~" Little White gently rubbed against Ming Che's palm, letting out a cute little cry. The next second, to Ming Che's astonishment, Little White was surrounded by a blinding white light, and Ming Che quickly withdrew his hand to shield his eyes.

Through the gaps between her fingers, one could vaguely see that Little White's size was slowly shrinking. "Meow!" When the white light dissipated, Little White returned to its pre-mutation form, with a pair of miniature horns on its forehead covered by white fur.

Mingche crouched down and reached out to stroke Xiaoha's fluffy head. Xiaobai also made a purring sound, its long, thin tail held high. Only then did Mingche notice that the tip of Xiaobai's tail still resembled Haihati's.

At this moment, Xiaobai lay down on the ground, revealing its soft belly, its little limbs swinging slightly in the air. Mingche reached out and gently pinched one of its feet, examining it carefully. "It seems that I can only revert to its approximate form before the mutation."

Mingche spread his hands towards the adorable little white dog in front of him and gently called out, "Come on, we should go." "Meow~" the little white dog responded, quickly flipped over, and swiftly climbed onto Mingche's shoulder to sit down.

After turning his head to make sure the other person was seated properly, Ming Che quickly ran towards Yan Que's location.

"Buzz buzz buzz~" After a burst of electrical noise, Nicole's voice came from the computer, "Rope Maker, that guy is so arrogant! Isn't he afraid we'll report him to the police?" Zhe Ling and her brother were carefully watching the screen in front of them.

"Brother, why are you looking at the visual recording from last time?" Ling asked, puzzled, looking at Zhe who was staring intently at her. "Beep!" Zhe pressed the control button and said, "Fairy, help me analyze this person."

Zhe pointed to Mingche on the screen, and an ethereal voice echoed from the room. "Assistant Number Two, you don't yet have the authority to command Fairy." Upon hearing this, Zhe calmly said, "Then I need to consider whether or not to pay five times the electricity bill this month."

Three seconds later, Fairy announced, "Alert! We have found all the surveillance footage in New Ellito, and we have found several figures that resemble the people in the photos." Zhe examined the photos one by one and made a startling discovery.

Zhe thought it was a coincidence and looked at a few more pictures. Without exception, whether from a distance or up close, the faces in the pictures were blurry, leaving only a pair of oppressive yellow eyes.

"Brother, have you found something?" Ling also found out that her brother was looking for the mysterious person with the hollowed-out cave in Crete that day. "Hmm... I don't know the specifics yet, whether it's the same person in the photo."

Ling finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you looking for this person?!" Zhe sighed and, no longer hiding anything, replied, "I think this person might be related to the teacher." After saying that, Zhe picked up his water glass and took a sip.

"What! It's related to the teacher?" Wen Yanling felt a moment of disbelief and asked, "Brother, how can you be sure the person in the photo is related to the teacher?"
