56: Chapter 56 Invitation to the Demon Hunter Team

The two soldiers looked respectful, their tone brooking no argument: "Mr. Chen Ye, our captain would like you to come over for a moment; there is a serious matter to discuss."

Chen Ye could see that the troops were strictly disciplined; they were only responsible for delivering orders and wouldn't say a single extra word.

Chen Ye knew well that he couldn't go against The Authorities' attitude, so he could only nod helplessly.

He turned to look at Shen Jiaojiao, his tone softening slightly: "You go home and wait for me first. I'll be back soon, it'll be fine."

Shen Jiaojiao looked at him, her eyes full of worry and reluctance.

Yet she also knew that she was disheveled at the moment and it would be inconvenient to follow him.

She could only nod gently, clutching her torn hem, her bare jade feet tapping lightly on the cold ground, before turning and jogging toward the apartment building.

Her slender, fragile silhouette revealed a hint of endearing stubbornness in the night.

Chen Ye withdrew his gaze and followed the two soldiers through the deployed military vehicles.

The muzzles of the armored vehicles glinted with a cold, piercing light, soldiers stood guard with their weapons, their footsteps uniform and synchronized, the atmosphere solemn to the extreme.

After passing several heavy combat vehicles, the two soldiers stopped beside a black bulletproof business vehicle and bowed, signaling: "Mr. Chen Ye, the captain is waiting for you inside."

Chen Ye's confusion deepened; who exactly could it be that managed to pinpoint his name and specifically send people to invite him over?

Before he could think more about it, the military vehicle's door slowly opened automatically.

A faint, elegant fragrance mixed with the cold, distinct scent of the military wafted toward him.

The dim streetlights shone through the car window, outlining a stunning figure inside, so beautiful it made one momentarily lose focus.

A woman was wearing a well-fitting military green uniform; she wasn't wearing heavy combat gear, yet her posture remained as upright as a pine tree.

Her neat, long hair was elegantly pinned up, revealing a smooth, jade-like neck with graceful lines.

Her profile, under the dim light, was as exquisitely carved as jade porcelain from the heavens; her skin was delicate and fair, without a single blemish.

Not even a single pore could be seen.

The loose military uniform couldn't hide her proud, graceful figure; the erect curves on her chest outlined an incredibly alluring arc.

Her waist was slender enough to be grasped in one hand, every line was just right; she was breathtakingly beautiful, a true stunner.

Chen Ye was secretly shocked: with looks like this, her beauty score definitely exceeds 90; she deserves to be called a top-tier goddess of the apocalypse!

He frowned in confusion, "Why didn't the system pop up a potential goddess notification?"

Upon seeing Chen Ye, the woman stood straight and gave him a solemn, standard military salute.

Chen Ye was stunned on the spot, his face full of surprise.

He was neither an officer nor a superior, so why did soldiers keep saluting him?

Before Chen Ye could ask, the woman's cool and somewhat familiar voice slowly sounded, each word clear as it fell into his ears: "Chen Ye, I am Liu Lingwei."

The moment the words fell, Chen Ye's pupils shrank instantly, as if struck by lightning!

It was her?!

That SWAT deputy captain, Liu Lingwei, whom he had saved from the mouth of the Purple-Beaked Poison Beast that morning, whom the system had judged as a potential goddess, and with whom he had successfully bound a symbiosis!

Chen Ye looked at Liu Lingwei inside the car, sighing in admiration inwardly.

The system truly does not deceive me!

This woman had shed her heavy combat gear, and in her loose, military green uniform, she still couldn't hide that soul-stirring, graceful figure.

Her cool, spirited military demeanor blended with her stunning face, a mix of strength and softness; she was both beautiful and upright, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

The dim streetlights shone on her exquisite, jade-like profile, her skin so delicate that not a single blemish could be seen.

Even the loose military uniform couldn't hide the proud curves of her chest; she was breathtakingly beautiful.

He suppressed his inner amazement and curled his lips into a playful smile: "I didn't expect the decisive SWAT deputy captain in Guangming Residential Community to be such a peerless beauty capable of toppling cities."

"Meeting you today is truly an honor."

"Brother Chen, sweet talk is fine, but don't just throw compliments around!" A rough, booming voice came first.

A burly man with a physique as sturdy as an iron tower strode over.

His muscles were bulging all over; one look and you could tell he was a top-tier special operations elite with peak physical fitness.

"Now you have to call her Captain Liu! Our captain hates it most when people call her a beauty; when she gets angry, the entire special operations team gets scolded!"

Liu Lingwei raised her eyes coldly, glanced at the burly man, and spoke with an icy tone: "Zhao Hu, is your skin itching? Your training load will be doubled when we get back."

"No, no, no, Captain! I just misspoke! Pretend I didn't say anything!" Zhao Hu instantly cowered, scratching the back of his head with a flattering smile, not daring to say another word.

Zhao Hu hurried over to Chen Ye, stood straight, gave a solemn, standard military salute, and said in a resonant, powerful voice: "Mr. Chen Ye! I am Zhao Hu from the special operations team!"

"In the battle at Guangming Residential Community, thanks to you stepping in to save me, otherwise I would have fallen into the hands of the exotic beasts long ago!"

"I will never forget the grace of saving my life; from now on, whenever you have need of me, even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, I will not refuse!"

Chen Ye waved his hand indifferently: "It was just a small favor. I was just trying to save my own life at the time, so don't take it to heart."

Liu Lingwei didn't beat around the bush anymore and directly interrupted the two.

Her cold gaze fixed directly on Chen Ye, each word clear: "The Rodent Beast King in the Residential Community was cleared by you, right? This time, you've cleared away another major hidden danger for our war zone."

Chen Ye just wanted to deny it, but Liu Lingwei interrupted him directly, her tone sharp: "Don't argue."

"The Authorities are recruiting for the Demon Hunting Squad across the city, gathering Superpower users to wipe out exotic beasts and protect survivors. I, representing the war zone's special operations team, formally invite you to join my squad."

Chen Ye never expected that when Liu Lingwei saw him again, she wouldn't even offer a single pleasantry and would immediately talk to him about this.

As expected, strong women are not so easy to handle!

"I refuse." Chen Ye didn't hesitate at all and shook his head directly.

Memories of his previous life came flooding back like a tide.

The Demon Hunting Squad seemed glorious, but they executed missions that were nine deaths to one life.

The mortality rate was as high as eighty percent, countless heroes fell, and in the end, they couldn't stop the torrent of the apocalypse.

Living a new life, he didn't want to crawl into a pile of dead bodies again.

Liu Lingwei frowned slightly, her cold voice carrying a hint of questioning: "With the country in crisis and exotic beasts running rampant, you possess such powerful Superpower; are you going to stand by and watch, caring only for your own selfish interests?"

"I don't have any heaven-defying abilities; I'm just an ordinary citizen who just wants to live safely and securely in the apocalypse." Chen Ye's tone was flat, without the slightest wavering.

"An ordinary citizen?" Liu Lingwei sneered, pressing forward step by step, "Then how do you explain the beast core in your pocket? Would an ordinary citizen risk harboring an exotic beast core?"

Chen Ye's heart tightened abruptly; just as he wanted to retort, Liu Lingwei suddenly stood up, her slender figure leaning forward slightly.

A cool, slender, fair hand suddenly grabbed his wrist!

That palm was slender but bore thin, hard calluses, the marks left by years of holding a gun and grueling training; the touch was cool, yet carried an irresistible force.

Before Chen Ye could react, her jade fingers flipped lightly, directly pulling out those few beast cores that were still fresh from having just been put in his pocket.
