Chapter 136: Zeke Enters The Contaminated Zone! (2)

"Noted."

To prevent anyone from entering the high-risk zone, it was necessary to place a blocking barrier around the area. It also served as a warning that an activity done by the Association was happening and any disturbance was a sign of an attack that would result in an arrest or immediate execution.

"Should I order someone to send your permit to the Chief Master?" Ares asked, tugging on his battlesuit and ensuring no gap could be seen.

Upon hearing his question, Zeke’s finger twitched.

Then, he shook his head. "There’s no need."

"Hm, are you sure?" Ares found his response strange.

The Admiral usually would readily give the permit to the Chief Master since it was the only permit in the world that had all access to everything in the Association. All Supreme Commanders of the Association could only have it. And it was the Chief Master’s duty to safeguard the permit in case of a mission that would bring the Admiral to an unreachable place, preventing anyone from getting it.

And Zeke had never missed a time when he didn’t give it to the Chief Master...

For someone who knew him so well, Ares found this really unsettling.

But Zeke had already moved close to the entrance of the contaminated zone.

What Ares and anyone in that place did not know was that the permit was no longer in his hand.

Zeke had given that all-important permit to Aisha.

Though he didn’t have to worry about it falling into the enemy’s hands. Zeke thought that there was no way Aisha would know its uses other than an unlimited access to the Teleportation Array.

Surely, she wouldn’t come close to a contaminated zone, right?

"Everyone, prepare to head inside the zone."

It was time to go inside.

***

No one really knew what they were going to see once they entered a contaminated zone.

So far, no contaminated zone possessed any similar environment. They were always different from each other despite some of the corrupted monsters possessing similar genetic makeup and appearance.

And entering a zone required specialized clothing that could prevent extreme miasma exposure inside. Though, it needed a Guide’s regular care since there was still no ultimate cure to prevent miasma from deteriorating it.

Most Sentinels would go for a battlesuit forged from segments of Silverstone plating. However, Zeke’s armor was different. Glowing filigree of molten gold and white pulsed through the seams of his armor. Across his chest, a reinforced mesh panel exposed his chest and abdominal muscles slightly, leading to a split, heavy-armored kama that flared out like a dark trench coat behind him. The entire armor fitted his body perfectly well that it mapped out his muscular build.

"Scan the area inside the zone," Zeke ordered.

Behind him, over a dozen people had also entered the zone. When he ordered, two of them stepped forward and held a scanning device.

From outside, this stretch of contaminated zone looked like a jungle that seemed to have no end, and it was unknown how wide an area it covered.

When they entered earlier, the sun was still high up in the sky and was very bright. However, the environment in the contaminated zone seemed to be a different world compared to the outside world.

They could see the top of the zone being shrouded in gray mist. Bolts of lightning flickered softly within the dense mist, illuminating the ground with a ghostly bluish glow momentarily.

Beep, beep.

"The type of Miasma inside the zone is a mixture of two." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
