There is an unwritten rule in the wilderness.
When a hunter or mercenary performs an official mission, unless he is directly killed during the mission, if he is injured and has specific coordinates, the official needs to provide timely assistance. This is out of protection measures for outstanding talents, and those who can be officially assigned to perform tasks will not be mediocre. Such talents die one less. In the turbulent era, talents are the greatest wealth. No base or company is willing to sacrifice a talent at will. Unless, the relationship between the two is hostile.
Of course, there is no hostile relationship between Phoenix City and Zero, and strictly speaking, Zero is still within the mission period before returning to the city, not to mention that he even fired the distress signal that George personally handed over to him. No matter what the reason is, reinforcements from Phoenix City will definitely arrive quickly.
Of course, such a rescue is not without conditions.
The rescued mercenary hunter needs to unconditionally agree to at least one official mission for the rescuer within a year. As long as you are not dead, no matter where you are, once you receive the request from the rescuer, you must immediately start to execute it. In turbulent times, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Zero naturally knows what it means to fire a signal flare, but comparing the freedom of a mission with life, Zero naturally chooses the latter.
And when he saw the flare that dragged its flame tail straight up into the night sky, Lan Qi could only curse secretly.
When instructing the red wolf to intercept Zero and create a sniper opportunity for him, Lan Qi had already planned to kill Zero and at the same time send the red wolf to hell casually. It's just that he underestimated Zero's keen perception of danger and his keen instinct to avoid danger. So that sniper attack that Lan Qi thought was sure to hit, did not pierce Zero's heart as he expected, and then sent it into Chilang's head.
It can be said that this sniper attack on Lan Qi was only half successful.
As Zero fell, it was difficult for Lan Qi to fire another shot two thousand meters away in the vast night. But the flare gave him a chance, and at the same time gave him a choice.
Choices in terms of killing Zero and offending Phoenix.
Even if Lan Qi is from Parkland, once there is a direct conflict in the rescue operation of Phoenix, Parkland can hand him over to avoid offending a new military city like Phoenix. If it was the past, Lan Qi would definitely retreat immediately when he saw the signal flare.
But Zero is his murderous enemy, so after a moment of hesitation, Lan Qi chooses to shoot again.
The Vulture's muzzle quickly adjusted, and through the sights and the enhanced sight range, Lan Qi once again locked on the zero position. This time he aimed at the opponent's head, Zero was already unconscious, and Lan Qi's shot was absolutely sure. However, just as he was about to press the trigger, an indescribable sense of danger immediately flowed through his body.
Snipers in the wilderness have a beast-like instinct for danger, Zero is like this, and Lan Qi is no exception. This time, the bald eagle couldn't help hesitating. There was more than one chance to kill Zero, but he definitely had only one life. Lan Qi didn't want to sacrifice his life for revenge, so he quickly picked up his sniper rifle and quickly withdrew from the sniper position.
Just after hiding behind a big rock in the wilderness, Lan Qi noticed a strange scream passing over the sniper position just now. He lay down behind the stone and quickly sprinkled some light yellow powder. These powders are able to mask his breath and give off an earthy smell. As long as you don't search closely, even a mutant beast with a sensitive nose can't distinguish Lan Qi from the earth.
The bald eagle was lying on the ground, raised its head slightly to look towards the sky, and saw a strange creature hovering over the sniper position. From a distance, it was a human-like mutant beast. But Lan Qi had never seen the appearance of the lion's head and eagle's wings. The mutated beast circled several times before flying in the direction of Phoenix City.
And after it left, the army of Phoenix City had already found the stunned Zero.
Zero had a weird dream.
In the dream, he was sitting alone on the Ferris wheel in the playground. Through the glass of the Ferris wheel compartment, Zero saw continuous red clouds appearing in the distant sky first, followed by tongues of fire breaking through the clouds, dragging a mighty tail of flames to hit the ground. In an instant, the earth became a sea of flames, and countless people turned into coke in an instant.
Buildings are collapsing, the ground is cracking, people are screaming... The earth is no longer a paradise for living, it has become a hell of death.
Zero sat helplessly on the Ferris wheel, watched as the steel support of the Ferris wheel was melted, and then brought him to the ground that turned into a sea of flames.
The screen changed again.
Zero saw that beautiful figure again, on the field of splendid mountain flowers, she was chasing the wind like a happy elf. Zero still couldn't see her clearly, and when he tried to get closer, she stopped suddenly.
Turning around, she faced him.
The blurred face gradually became clear, and she became Leah.
"Zero, save me!"
Leah shouted, following the face change, Hans' ghostly face appeared in Zero's eyes.
The face of the Han Dynasty and the body of the girl form a strange and weird picture.
Zero yelled, and the picture in front of him disappeared completely. Then there were all kinds of strange sounds, including roaring human voices and the sound of instruments working. There is a blurred light and shadow in the eyes, and twisted figures are shaking in the light and shadow. After a slight numbness came from his body, Zero fell into a coma again.
But this time, he didn't have any more strange dreams.
When he opened his eyes again, he happened to see the red clouds reflecting the sky in Phoenix City at dusk outside the window.
"Zero, are you awake?"
A childish yet pleasantly surprised voice sounded in his ears.
The sound still came from an extremely distant place, and it seemed hollow and long. It took a while for Ling to get used to his body, which had just woken up from a deep sleep. He turned his head and saw Mo Ni.
On Moni's head, Lala was pressed against her pale silver hair. The little beast seemed to be in good spirits, and when it saw Zero, it let out a cry of joy, and was about to collapse on Zero. But in mid-air, she was caught by Moni, so Lala could only look at the girl aggrievedly.
"How many days have I slept?" Zero asked, and found that his voice was hoarse than ever.
Mo Ni's eyes were a little red, and she tried to force a smile on her small face: "Not much, just two or three days."
"Seventy-eight hours, technically, lucky boy."
A large figure appeared on the other side of Zero, but it was Chief George. George didn't look very well, and the deep dark circles on his face showed that he hadn't had a good rest recently. And the dense stubble around his chin made him look even more haggard.
George casually threw a bill to Zero's chest: "It's great to see that you didn't die, otherwise this bill would have been lost. Listen, man, you don't know how lucky you are, when You were dying when we found you. Damn, anyone with an extra hole in their chest wouldn't survive, but you made it through, I have to say it's a miracle!"
Zero smiled, picked up the bill with numb hands and looked at it, his face immediately changed.
On the bill, the number "8230" is impressive. Zero didn't expect that after sleeping for three days, he almost used up all his savings. He couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth. The interest from Parkland has not yet been collected, but he is about to become negative equity.
Seeing the change of expression on Zero's face, George couldn't help laughing, and snatched the bill. Then knead into a ball and throw it into the trash can.
Zero looked at him puzzled.
George pointed to his body and said, "It doesn't matter, all the costs of rescuing you have already been paid by your body."
Zero's expression changed immediately.
George laughed again, and said, "Don't worry, it's not some pervert who is interested in your body. Although your body is indeed beautiful, even more beautiful than some women. Well, what I want to say is that those lunatics in the military hospital They are very interested in your body data. They said that as long as you cooperate with the inspection work during the hospitalization, not only will the fee be free, but they will also pay you some extra remuneration when you leave the hospital. I said buddy, you are really lucky."
Zero didn't think so, he didn't want his body to attract any attention. But after he fainted, it seemed that some abnormalities in his body had successfully caught the attention of the doctors in Phoenix City, and he was included in the research object without authorization. Zero has decided to destroy all relevant data before he leaves.
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." George clapped his hands on Ling's body and said, "Just concentrate on recovering from your injuries. In Phoenix City, no one dares to hurt you. I still have this confidence."
With that said, George got up and showed a lewd smile to Mo Ni. Moni was not afraid, but instead gave him a charming smile. This made George stunned, and then the officer shook his head and left the room.
Although George reassured Ling, Ling couldn't rest assured. Since Parkland has made some moves, they will definitely come one after another. Zero decided to leave the hospital and leave Phoenix as soon as possible. He didn't like the current passive situation. On the contrary, he wanted to kill Parkland's killer instead. And if you want to do this, you will undoubtedly have to pull the opponent to your home court.
Zero's home field, in the wilderness!
George was on his way back to the army command post.
Things weren't going well in Phoenix, and Operation Lair ended up being less than successful. On that day, after Brian was beheaded, the Fenli wolf, who had lost command, was unable to organize an effective counterattack, so he was scattered by the Phoenix army.
But at the end of the king killing operation, something went wrong. The Fenli wolf evolutionary life body jumped out of nowhere and killed three members of the king killing team in a row. Of the remaining three, Sario was still missing, and Kazuo Bento was seriously injured. As for Ling who deserted halfway, he is also lying in the hospital now.
For this evolved werewolf, the senior management of Phoenix City attaches great importance to it. Because they didn't know that Zero was actually the first person to come into contact with the werewolf, Phoenix now focused all its attention on the survivor, Kazuo Hetowa.
Kazuo Bendu is now controlled in the army command post, and there are special personnel in charge of care. Phoenix City hopes to learn about the werewolf situation through Kazuo Biandu, but now it seems that this method will not work, because Kazuo Biandu is crazy!
