A simple sentence, let Lan Qi know exactly where he has exposed himself. People who have been born and died for many years will always have a certain strange breath on their body. Ordinary people can't detect this kind of breath, but it's impossible to hide it from people like Zero who have had the same experience. And Lan Qi himself was used to this kind of breath, so he left out such a crucial factor.
In fact, if it weren't for such a small flaw, Lan Qi would almost succeed.
Although Ling Yi guessed early on that the killer from Parkland would definitely not give up so easily, except for the few days when he was in a coma, the next few days were also uneventful. He was extremely vigilant, and almost thought that the killer would give up and continue to attack in Phoenix City. Until yesterday, Dr. David, who came to Zero for a follow-up visit, had a slight abnormal smell on his body.
This breath is not easy to detect, but to check the body for Zero, the two of them will inevitably have close contact, which is only discovered by Zero. From this, Zero learned that Parkland's killer hadn't given up. And judging from being close to Dr. David, he is ready to do it.
If it was an ordinary smell, Lan Qi could cover it up with various medicinal powders. But the dead energy on the body cannot be covered by props, unless it is a high-level ability user in the perception domain, who can do it by creating a barrier on his body that isolates any perception. It's a pity that Lan Qi is not an expert in the field of perception, so his success fell short.
The bald eagle made a decisive decision, and when it hit the wall, its body shook continuously, and several scalpels hidden in the doctor's uniform for emergency use were shot out immediately. In order not to attract the attention of Phoenix City, Lan Qi did not carry a gun when entering and leaving the hospital. Otherwise, it would not be a few scalpels but deadly bullets that greeted Zero this time.
Naturally, the scalpel was less difficult than zero. He just leaned back, and all the knives fell through. But when he regained his body, Baitouzuo was nowhere to be seen. There were screams and curses from outside the ward, followed by a sheriff and three soldiers rushing into the ward. The fight in the ward naturally alarmed them, but the killer had already left, and the sheriff also left with him after a brief questioning.
Zero knew that with such a commotion, Parkland's killer would not want to stay in the city anymore. In other words, he can rest in peace for the next few days.
His body has almost recovered, the most serious wound on his chest has healed, and even the punctured sternum has grown back. But the brief violent fight just now caused his chest to crack again, so Ling had to stay in the hospital for a day or two.
The high temperature during the day makes the land absolutely silent, especially at this moment close to noon, no creature is willing to be exposed to the strong ultraviolet rays. A tyrant scorpion protruded from the sand. This mutated scorpion was only the size of a fist, but it had two scorpion tails. The overlord scorpion has a colorful body, and the venom produced by its poison sac can poison a violent bear to death within 3 minutes.
Because its toxin is comparable to nuclear waste, this small scorpion is highly dangerous in this biological department, hence the name Overlord.
After the scorpion left the sand pile where it was hiding, it climbed onto the road. Not for anything else, just for that tall human corpse on the road.
Human corpses are not only food for the Overlord Scorpion, they can also be used as their own lair. Small mutant creatures like the Overlord Scorpion sometimes like to hide directly in human corpses to build their nests. It is convenient to eat, and the skin of the corpse provides a natural protective layer for the mutants, which kills two birds with one stone.
The Overlord Scorpion quickly came to the corpse. It was a tall man with red hair like flames. His fresh muscles made the Tyrant Scorpion drooling, and the bugs crawled to the face of the corpse, that big mouth seemed to invite the Tyrant Scorpion to enter.
The scorpion was about to climb in, when suddenly the black cloud overwhelmed it, and it still couldn't figure out what happened. A piece of heavy metal fell on it. The Overlord Scorpion is good at poison, but its body is as fragile as its predecessors in the old era. Unable to resist the heavy pressure of the metal at all, it was immediately declared to be smashed to pieces.
When the light yellow scorpion liquid left under the metal hammer, a pair of feet appeared beside the metal hammer. Then the owner of these feet knelt down, and he pressed his one arm to the ground to support his body, so that he could bend down and stick out his tongue to lick the scorpion fluid on the ground.
The sour taste of scorpion juice is not good to drink, but in the wilderness, there is no luxury water source at all. Therefore, Kazuo Biandu, who had been walking for almost a day, didn't care about these at all. Before the heat of the earth dried up the rare liquid, Kazuo Biandu licked up the scorpion fluid with his tongue. Then he removed the metal sledgehammer, and carefully played with the nearly shattered body of the scorpion.
He picked out those hard shells and poisonous substances, and Kazuo Hewata swept all the scorpion meat, which didn't even have 2 grams, into his mouth. The meat of the Overlord Scorpion is not delicious, on the contrary it has a fishy smell. It was quite disgusting to eat raw, but Kazuo Hewata still resisted vomiting them out, and swallowed them into his stomach as soon as he gritted his teeth. But these things were not enough for Kazuo Biandu to quench the fire of hunger in his body, so he turned his gaze to the tall male corpse beside him.
In turbulent times, it is nothing new for people to eat people in order to survive. What's more, Kazuo Hedo just wants to eat this corpse now, and he has done something a hundred times more evil than this, so why would he hesitate because of the so-called morality. But Kazuo Hewata did hesitate because of the huge bullet holes on the corpse and the fatal wound between the eyebrows.
Kazuo Hewata is also considered an experienced mercenary. He carefully inspected the corpse and found two completely different bullet marks on the corpse.
The bullet marks on the corpse's arms and shoulders were much larger in caliber than other ordinary bullets. Its lethality is unquestionable, as can be seen from the scars in these two places on the corpse. The man's wounds were almost all broken. If he was hit by this kind of bullet at a vital point, he would probably only survive the super-speed regeneration that was brought about by the high-level defense enhancement in the fighting domain.
But the man's fatal wound came from between his eyebrows.
The bullet hole between the eyebrows is fine, and the surrounding area of the bullet hole is flat and smooth. This shows that the opponent is using armor-piercing bullets and firing them with sniper rifles. Only the kinetic energy provided by sniper equipment can leave such bullet holes.
In other words, it took at least two or more people to kill this man. Because the two completely different bullet marks on his body clearly came from different firearms. The former is a lethal weapon like a large-caliber revolver, while the latter is a sniper equipment. The two are near and far away, and it is impossible for one person to operate them at the same time.
Judging from the man's use of a ferocious metal giant hammer, the opponent is an ability user belonging to the fighting domain. And from the traces of the battle on the road, Kazuo Hewata could easily tell that the distance between this man and another ability user with a powerful pistol at that time was definitely not more than ten meters.
We all know that even the best gunner has to keep his distance from the enemy to gain an advantage. Once the distance is drawn, especially if the opponent is a combat domain ability user, it is simply a gunner's nightmare.
However, the scene in front of him overturned Kazuo Hedo's common sense. Judging from the fact that only this corpse was left on the highway, the gunman who fought him at close range survived. Of course, the sniper who shot between the man's eyebrows was the biggest contributor, but he was able to survive a close-up short shot by a combat domain capable person, and this shooter's skills were already frighteningly brilliant.
Kazuo Bendu frowned, but he couldn't think of anyone he knew who met this requirement. However, when he gave up thinking, the figure of Zero appeared in the mind of Dongying Swordsman.
Could it be him
Kazuo Hewata thought of Zero. If there is any supernatural being around Phoenix City that best meets this requirement, it must be Zero. Thinking that Zero possessed such skills, and that he could no longer use the previous two-sword style with a broken arm, Kazuo Hewata inexplicably hated Zero's overly beautiful face.
But now, Kazuo Hedo's hunger is overwhelming. He built sharp tools everywhere in order to deconstruct the corpse so that he could eat it. When he found a spear inserted from the waist of the corpse, the Japanese swordsman happily pulled it out. Kazuo Biandu unbuttoned a leather jacket on the body, and was about to stab his chest with a knife, but Kazuo Biandu was stunned by a tattoo of a magic wolf on his chest.
He suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was full of surprise.
"The leader of the wolf robbers? It could be you, Red Wolf?" Kazuo Biandu laughed wildly. This discovery made him give up eating the corpse. Or, at least the head of the red wolf should be preserved.
Because the leader of the wolf bandits has a reward of 100,000 mainland currency on his body. That was the reward issued by Titan City a few days ago, which immediately broke the historical record of Scarlet Wolf's worth. It can be said that Kazuo Biandu can exchange 100,000 coins in Titan City with the head of the red wolf. Such a good thing was picked up by him like a pie in the world, and it was when he was so down and out.
And Kazuo Hewata's good luck seemed to be more than that, when he was laughing happily. The roaring engine hurt his ears, and Kazuo Bendu half-closed his eyes, watching several off-road vehicles full of men approaching from a distance, and surrounded him in the middle.
On one of the off-road vehicles, a tall and thin man stood up, pointed a gun at Kazuo Hedo and screamed, "Who are you? You killed our boss?"
Kazuo Bendu looked at the group of men, the tattoos on their bodies were the same as those of red wolves, and immediately let the Japanese swordsmen grasp their identities. Kazuo Hewata suddenly thought of a good idea, he tapped his toe, and Chilang's metal sledgehammer fell on his single arm.
"My name is Kazuo Hedo. From today, I will be your new leader!"
"Just because of your disability?" The thin man laughed, and the wolf thieves on the other off-road vehicles also laughed at the same time.
Only Kazuo Biandu didn't smile. He raised his giant hammer and sneered, "Yes, it's just me. Even if I only have one arm, it's enough to take care of you trash!"
