Return to Qing County

Ye Chen had heard about this matter more than once. Tang Qiu had mentioned before that the Law Enforcement Alliance was not simple, but he had forgotten about it. Now that Tang Qiu had suddenly brought it up again, Ye Chen was suddenly interested.

"Tang Qiu, what exactly is different about this Law Enforcement Alliance? You mentioned it before, and when I asked you back then, you said it was a secret of the Law Enforcement Alliance. Now you can tell me, right?"

Tang Qiu sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this either. I just happened to see it by chance, and even my Master doesn't know. I only know that this matter is definitely not as simple as it looks. The people at the top have extremely high Ranks, completely beyond our imagination! Otherwise, where would those combat uniforms and armored vehicles come from, and where would the Law Enforcement Alliance get so many gold coins and resources!"

"And what is the purpose of recycling heart cores? Don't you find that strange?"

Ye Chen had long been suspicious about this matter. He had thought of many possibilities, but all of them had been dismissed.

Tang Qiu couldn't explain why either.

"What exactly did you see at that time?"

Tang Qiu recalled, "At that time, I only saw one person. It was when the Law Enforcement Alliance had just appeared. I was only Rank LV5, and that person was already Rank LV15."

"Huh?"

Tang Qiu's words were like a thunderclap exploding in their minds!

They were already Rank LV15 back then! What would their Rank be now?

Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered something. The Safe Zone seemed to have been established a long time ago as well. Could it be that they had already started making preparations back then?

Now, Ye Chen suddenly realized that this country was definitely not as simple as it appeared.

This world, including this country, was extremely similar to the world and country he had previously lived in. Of course, that was before the chaotic times.

Yu Nian said with some worry, "Could it be that we are really in trouble this time?"

"Yes! And it's not a small trouble. The Battle Preparation Army of the Law Enforcement Alliance has high authority, but at the same time, their numbers are very small, so they are very united. This time, Ye Chen bullied their people, so they definitely won't let it go!" Tang Qiu said.

The group fell silent.

Ye Chen spoke up, "It doesn't matter. What's there to be afraid of? Let them come if they want! We have nothing to fear!"

Even if the opponent was Rank LV40, Ye Chen wouldn't panic at all!

Don't forget about the existence of Gun Gun, that bug. The opponent would definitely have no way to deal with Gun Gun!

He didn't just have Gun Gun as his trump card in his hand now.

With the System mall in his hands, Ye Chen was completely fearless.

Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID; it was Wang Zhan.

"Hello, Brother Wang Zhan, what's up?" Ye Chen was still quite polite toward Wang Zhan.

After all, whenever he asked Wang Zhan for help, Wang Zhan never refused.

"Brother Ye Chen, please count how many ordinary people under the age of sixty you have there, how many are physically sound, how many are disabled, how many are male, and how many are female."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ye Chen was a bit curious.

Why was Wang Zhan suddenly counting ordinary people, and so comprehensively? The Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance had many ordinary people, and a group of them had suffered serious injuries during the chaos. If it were internal injuries, they could be healed, but broken arms and legs were hard to deal with.

"This is the intention from above. I don't know what's going on either. Just do the count, and I will contact you when there is any situation."

"Okay, sure."

After speaking, Ye Chen hung up the phone.

"What happened? Why count the ordinary people?" Lin Nuoyi asked.

Apparently, they had all heard the conversation just now.

Ye Chen shook his head, "I don't know either. I asked Wang Zhan, and he doesn't know either."

"Alright, then I'll go tell Luo Sha and have him do the count. By the way, should we also count the ordinary people in our Star Alliance?"

Lin Nuoyi asked.

Ye Chen nodded, "Go ahead and count them."

Just as Lin Nuoyi was about to leave, Ye Chen called her back.

"Um, when you count, keep them separate. Make two copies, one for the Star Alliance and one for the Law Enforcement Alliance."

"Okay!"

The reason Ye Chen did this was also because he didn't know Wang Zhan's purpose.

After Lin Nuoyi left, the room returned to silence.

Ye Chen, Zhu Qiang, and Tie Niu didn't take the matter of the Law Enforcement Alliance's Battle Preparation Army to heart at all, but Yu Nian and Tang Qiu appeared to be heavy-hearted.

In the evening, Lin Nuoyi returned with two forms containing clear statistical information.

Ye Chen took them and looked, then sent the Law Enforcement Alliance's information to Wang Zhan.

He didn't know until he looked, but he was surprised to find that there were as many as 100,000 ordinary people between 40 and 60 years old in the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance.

Among them, disabled people accounted for one-twentieth, with 45,000 males and nearly 60,000 females.

As for the number of people in the Law Enforcement Alliance's Battle Preparation Army, there were nearly 20,000, and this was only the number of people aged 16 to 18.

Those younger than that were still receiving written education.

The next morning.

Ye Chen was already on his way to Qing County. This time, he went alone; Ye Chen had left Yu Nian and the others in the Aggregation Zone, telling them to go kill monsters and level up.

Now all five of them were at Rank LV24, though Tang Qiu had a bit less experience, while Yu Nian and the other three were already on the verge of leveling up.

In two more days, they could enter the Experience Secret Realm again, and by then, all five of them should be able to reach Rank LV28.

An hour later, Ye Chen had arrived at the city center of Qing County.

Now, Qing County had completely become a paradise for monsters. Looking around, monsters could be seen everywhere, and their Ranks were all around LV22.

However, along the way, many humans could still be seen in the sky.

What made Ye Chen curious was that among these people, some were not from the Star Alliance.

This made Ye Chen somewhat confused.

Before long, Ye Chen had arrived at the Qing County Safe Zone.

Fortunately, the Safe Zone established back then hadn't changed much and was still the same as it was when he left.

Now, the Safe Zone didn't need so many gatekeepers, as there were no longer any ordinary people inside who needed protection.

After such a long time of accumulation and tempering, those with low Ranks had all reached above Rank LV15 and already had the ability to protect themselves.

On top of the city gate, only two people were keeping watch.

Seeing someone flying over, the two raised their vigilance, gripped their weapons, and watched Ye Chen cautiously.

After the figure flew closer, their faces lit up with joy, and they shouted happily, "Lord Ye Chen! It's Lord Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen arrived in front of them and smiled, "Long time no see, how have you been?"

"We're doing well, Lord Ye Chen. Why are you here? How are things on your side?"

The two were somewhat emotional and asked with excitement.

"Everything is good. Is Fire Feather here?"

"Lord Fire Feather has gone out, but Lord Golden Eyes is still inside."
