The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 174 - 173: The Strongest Bodyguard Squad

"All personnel, stay alert and protect the target!"

A cold male voice penetrated the sandstorm, coming from the loudspeaker on the helicopter.

Immediately after, ropes were lowered from the helicopter, and five fully armed soldiers slid down one by one. Their black tactical armor gleamed coldly, obscuring their faces.

Only the sharp eyes under their goggles, like eagles locking onto prey, were visible.

The tomb robbers froze in place, their faces pale: "Officer, isn’t there some misunderstanding?"

"We’re not enemy agents..."

The leading officer among the five soldiers who came down from the helicopter stepped forward, his military boots crunching against the gravel with a chilling sound.

He brought his men in front of Xu Ying, separating Xu Ying from the tomb robbers.

Deputy Yang, Chief Qin’s secretary, jumped down from the armored vehicle, followed by soldiers who formed a protective circle around Xu Ying, providing a strong sense of security.

Of course, the more thorough the protection for Xu Ying, the more panicked the tomb robbers became.

Oh heavens, this time when raiding the tomb, they hit an iron wall!

How could it be just an iron wall? This was a titanium alloy wall!

Some tomb robbers who were further away hid behind the off-road vehicle, hoping to escape unnoticed.

The leading officer raised his hand, and the soldiers’ guns clicked into position, the metallic clash akin to death’s knell.

The few robbers attempting to escape heard this sound and felt nailed to the ground, especially when they saw the sniper’s red dot sweeping over them.

The officer slightly tilted his head, his voice cold as it came through the mask, like a blade hanging over their heads: "Take another step, and your legs will stay here."

Under the watchful eyes of these "eagle eyes," no one dared to take chances anymore, and they threw their weapons to the ground, kicking them away, and raised their hands.

All twenty-eight tomb robbers were controlled by the heavily armed soldiers, squatting in two rows in front of the armored vehicle, not daring to breathe deeply.

Afraid that any slight mishap could lead them to a violet egg soup.

No dishes or soup, just violet eggs.

Deputy Yang quickly stepped in front of Xu Ying: "Little Xu Station Chief, are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Xu Ying shook her head and pointed toward the tomb’s direction: "They made a hole in the northwest, about four kilometers away. Please send people to guard it and prevent the tomb robbers inside from escaping."

"Alright." Deputy Yang nodded, then spoke to the tall officer in the mask: "Captain Liang, inform the airborne special forces brothers!"

The officer referred to as Captain Liang gave a slight nod and communicated with the helicopter overhead via radio.

Moments later, the helicopter, hovering high like a whistling eagle, swiftly moved towards the northwest with a reassuring speed.

The tomb robbers saw this and turned even paler.

With a group of fully armed elite bodyguards protecting her, Xu Ying suddenly straightened her back!

She felt as if she could act recklessly in the wilderness now.

"How many of your accomplices are there? How many are in the tunnel?"

Xu Ying impatiently questioned the small-time thieves caught under her control.

"How many artifacts have you already sold? Where are you planning to sell them?"

"How big is the underground tomb, and how much have you damaged?"

"Five days ago, you kidnapped six Bactrian camels to help carry goods. Where did those camels go?"

The tomb robbers looked panicked; they had no idea how Xu Ying knew about the things that happened five days ago.

But right now, they all chose to remain silent.

As long as they could delay for a day or half a day, the goods could successfully be transferred.

The tomb robber codenamed "Black Bear" changed the subject, signaling with his chin to the half-dead skinny man and the guy in a cap on the ground: "My two brothers here look like they’re about to die. Out of humanitarian principles, even if we’re suspects, you can’t just let them die without helping, right?"

"I’m a vet who treats animals." Xu Ying crossed her arms, "Even if you don’t act like humans, I can’t save you."

"Besides, these two won’t die."

"Haven’t you heard that centipedes and scorpions seem like toxins but are actually medicine?"

"They might be helping detoxify and revitalize you, and maybe after hospital treatment, your body will be healthier than before."

The tomb robbers blinked at Xu Ying’s words, wide-eyed. What a revitalization this was!

Seeing there was no shifting the topic, the tomb robbers collectively fell silent.

Xu Ying shook her head and sighed helplessly seeing their silence.

Deputy Yang thought Xu Ying was troubled about loosening their tongues and comforted her: "No problem, bring them back, and we’ll use the great memory restoration technique to make them remember."

"They’re stalling for time now, which might let their secret plans succeed."

Xu Ying sighed not because she couldn’t pry their mouths open but because she felt regret that they had to use special methods.

She turned to Deputy Yang and whispered: "Brother Yang, my friends will be coming over to chat with these tomb robbers later; don’t panic."

"And be sure not to harm my animal friends."

Deputy Yang smiled: "Rest assured, Little Xu Station Chief, we are professionally trained."

With that, he relayed Xu Ying’s words through the radio.

Captain Liang also glanced over curiously at Xu Ying.

"Alright."

Xu Ying started her desert bike and headed towards the underground canyon.

She drove the bike into the canyon, the winding terrain forcing her to park at a curve.

The reptiles in the canyon noticed Xu Ying’s return and spread the news.

[Little Xu Station Chief, why are you back so soon? Did something dangerous happen?]

"No, my friends are here to assist, and they’ve captured those bad guys."

"It’s just that these little thieves are tight-lipped, unwilling to disclose the current situation within the tunnel, delaying time."

The desert pit viper coiled its body, having found the frightening experience too short, as it hadn’t had its fill of fun.

[Why don’t we go and scare them? Those two who barged into the canyon earlier seemed very afraid of us!]

[Yeah, yeah, they haven’t had a bath in a long time in the desert, right? I’ll give them a scrub!]

The red-headed centipede rubbed its bright yellow limbs together.

[Seeing these bipedal creatures, dozens of times our size, show fear because of our presence is exhilarating~] 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

[Tremble, humans!]

Xu Ying couldn’t help but laugh. It turns out scaring people was these little guys’ hobby.

She waved at these mischievous creatures: "Alright, some representatives can ride with me and wait on my bike. I’ll take you out for a spin."

Xu Ying continued into the canyon, leading Mountain Peak out.

"Mountain Peak, it’s safe outside now, you can come out."
