Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

They had originally planned to go together the next day, but the boss and his friends were tricked and never saw the ghost hunters again after that.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian's expression became unnatural.

The ghost hunter, like a car, then disappeared the next day?

Chen Nian suddenly remembered that she had indeed found some minerals on those ghost hunters. Although she had sold them on JD.com before, she still had some recollection of them.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian continued to ask the shop owner, "What kind of minerals? Can I take a look?"

"Of course, I haven't sold it yet."

As the boss spoke, he took out a metal box from the side, and Chen Nian was stunned when he opened it.

Good heavens, she's seen this mineral before, and she's even sold quite a few of them.

So it was them. I wonder if they would have brought the boss's niece over if they hadn't run into me.

However, Chen Nian guessed that it wouldn't happen.

Judging from their lustful appearance, if the boss's niece really went with them, things might get even worse.

After examining the minerals, Chen Nian finally regained her composure.

Seeing that Chen Nian remained silent for a long time, the boss looked at her and asked, "Then... are you still willing to take on this commission?"

"Furthermore, I'm also somewhat interested in areas that produce this mineral," Chen Nian said.

After Chen Nian finished speaking, she turned to look at Fang Anya and saw an abnormal expression on Fang Anya's face. Clearly, she had also remembered.

"Okay, I can provide anything else you need, as long as you can bring my niece back."

"No need, just wait for my good news," Chen Nian said.

And so the two left the motorcycle modification shop.

The other girls had already finished their test drives and were waiting at the door. Seeing the two of them come out, Su Wanqing and the others approached and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the car?"

"It's nothing, just a small commission," Chen Nian said.

"A commission? That means I'll have to go out again."

"Okay, you guys go back to the barracks first today. Anya and I are going out for a bit. We'll be back in a couple of days at most," Chen Nian continued.

Su Wanqing immediately frowned and stepped forward to block Chen Nian.

"Two days? You're going to abandon us and act alone again?" Her voice was low, but her disapproval was unmistakable.

Xia Luoling chimed in, "Last time the two of you went into the valley, you couldn't find us when you came back. Have you forgotten?"

"You're not allowed to go. If you want to go, we'll go together," Xia Luoxue added.

Listening to what the girls were saying, Chen Nian knew that they cared about her.

However, Chen Nian really needed the money, so after thinking for a moment, he replied, "We'll only be gone for two days, and this time it's different. We're not going to those ruins, but to the mine to help the boss find someone."

"But, last time you went to the valley..."

As Su Wanqing spoke, her eyes reddened.

Looking at the kites and swallows in front of her, Chen Nian didn't know how to comfort them for a moment.

Chen Nian wanted to reach out and hold Su Wanqing's hand.

But she took two steps back.

Su Wanqing stared into her eyes and said in a tone that left no room for negotiation, "Either we go together, or nobody goes."

Fang Anya gently tugged at Chen Nian's sleeve from behind and whispered, "How about... we take them with us? I've always felt there's something fishy about the mineral's location; more people might not be a bad thing."

Chen Nian glanced back at Fang Anya and saw a rare hint of seriousness in her eyes. After a few seconds of silence, she finally sighed and said, "Alright, let's go together. But there's one thing: once we get there, you must follow orders and not act on your own."

"Okay!" Su Wanqing's lips curled up slightly, and she continued, "We'll go on missions together and face difficulties together! Don't abandon us in the future, okay? We're not a burden."

Looking at the girls.

Chen Nian quickly waved her hand and said, "That's not what I meant."

"We know, but that's what you're implying," Su Wanqing said to Chen Nian.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen modified motorcycles roared out of the temporary base.

Chen Nian took the lead, followed closely by Fang Anya, with the other girls spreading out in a fan shape behind them.

The boss gave them coordinates at the border between Zone C and Zone B. Zone B hadn't been cleared yet, so they gradually slowed down as they got closer to it.

As darkness fell completely, everyone was already resting in the underground safe house that An Mengran had built.

Through the hole left by An Mengran, they discovered in the distance an abandoned shed built by the government.

It's obvious that government officials used to mine here, and they must have finished mining or left after mining was nearly complete.

At this moment, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

They had been in Zone C for half a year, and everyone knew that there was a chilling wind at night in the occupied zone.

Especially at night, that ghostly howling made it hard to fall asleep.

My nerves were almost completely on edge.

But it's not here.

too weird.

"Niannian, something's not right here." Xia Luoling lay down beside her, her nose twitching slightly as if she had smelled something. She continued, "There's a... sweet smell in the air. It's very faint, but it's always there."

"Sweet?"

Everyone was taken aback, then fell silent and began to use their noses to sense things.

Soon, Chen Nian also smelled it. The sweet smell was like the embers of some kind of burning mineral, or like the smell of ripe honey mixed with a little human blood, all mixed together, making people's scalp tingle.

It's definitely not as simple as Chen Nian imagined before she came here.

"Mengran, quickly get some activated charcoal to filter the air. I'm worried this smell might have some strange effect."

"Uh-huh."

An Mengran nodded immediately upon hearing Chen Nian's words.

She always keeps activated carbon on hand, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable to rest in wetlands without any filtration.

After An Mengran finished making the arrangements, Chen Nian continued, "Get a good rest tonight. We'll go in again tomorrow. If there's any real danger, we'll leave even if we have to cancel the commission."

"Uh-huh."

The girls immediately nodded.

Such a strange place is terrifying, not to mention at night, it's chilling even during the day.

Of course I agree.

Chen Nian didn't rest all night, staying by the girls' side the whole time.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight; apart from that strange smell, nothing else occurred.

The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Chen Nian left the underground safe house where they had rested the night before and began moving toward the abandoned shed.

She wondered if this abandoned shed could provide anything useful to the group, allowing her to understand what had happened at the mine and why the boss's niece had disappeared there.
