The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Zeke Enters the Contaminated Zone! (1)

A day ago.

The sky was azure blue and the sun shone brightly.

A flying device circled around the site of the contaminated zone as if it were a bird, surveying the area before finally descending from the air and perching on top of a man’s arm.

Ares unlatched the camera that was tied to the flying device’s leg and inserted it into the recording player equipment.

Because of the miasma in the air, surveillance cameras don’t work well in their world. Whenever a camera was used, it usually got corrupted, and signs of decay would show quickly. Thus, only places that were regularly purified could own a surveillance camera.

A recording tool also costs a lot, aiming only at organizations and businesses that could afford a high-ranking Guide who would regularly purify it. But even then, they’d only use a few surveillance cameras. Only powerhouses like the Association, Federation, and the Imperial Family could afford to use it without thinking of draining their money reserves.

The camera they’d brought here was far more expensive than a common recording tool. Yet, it already showed heavy signs of corruption. And that was because they were closer to the contaminated zone.

"How’s it?"

A woman walked next to Ares and hovered her hand over the recording tool. The signs of decay from the strong miasma slowly started to show some improvement.

The woman had a slender figure that could make men flush with a fluster. Her entire person was like a nymph that had come out to play, emitting a soothing and compelling aura. She wore a pristine white, high-collared military tunic with asymmetric black straps and silver buckles, a paneled short skirt, leather stockings, and thigh-high boots.

Ares glanced at her before saying, "The reading came out high. The miasma threat level has increased by thirty percent more than what we recorded yesterday."

"Thirty percent?" the woman exclaimed in surprise.

Her surprise wasn’t unexpected. A rise in threat level was normal inside a contaminated zone. Usually, they’d get a reading of five to eighteen percent increase. Five would be a low-level threat zone, while eighteen was considered to be mid-high to high-level threat.

From yesterday’s reading, which was only twenty-eight percent, a thirty percent increase was unprecedented. And only a day has passed!

Now, they’re facing a fifty-eight threat-level contaminated zone with a high possibility of increase. This was an S-level contaminated zone.

"That’s right." Ares took on a serious expression as well. "I suspect that by tomorrow, the threat level will increase again." He paused, then turned to the man looking at the map and said, "Sir, should we call the Blockade Team to put barriers around the contaminated zone?"

Zeke’s gaze swept past Ares, and he looked toward the recording equipment. He fell silent, then he picked up something from the table. "It would take the Blockade Team half a day to get the barriers settled around the contaminated zone. They’d need a few hours of preparation before they could come here. And it would take another few hours for them to set their equipment around the zone. By the time they finished, do you think the threat level would decrease or not?"

"Definitely will increase," Ares muttered.

"Is this the first time this has ever happened?" the woman asked both of them.
