"Everyone will think that old Bruce died of a myocardial infarction, because he really shouldn't have drunk so much alcohol, and his heart that is already dying can't stand such a violent stimulation." Pella said blankly, as if saying something Something that has nothing to do with her.
"Do as you say, Perla, and do it well!"
"Follow your orders, boss!"
Pera backed away quietly, and Theon's fingers moved quickly on the light screen of the computer. The original system was immediately replaced by another set of programs already designed, in which Theon had the highest priority. As a result, the previously rejected documents were immediately approved by Theon himself.
Theon has always had the ambition to replace Bruce, but has not put it into action. Firstly, it is not so necessary, and secondly, old Bruce can sometimes block some unimportant troubles for Theon. But it was different now, the Remut that was about to start working would become an efficient machine, and Theon did not allow outdated parts like Bruce to hinder the operation of the machine.
From today on, he will firmly hold power in his own hands, even if the price of power is endless blood!
There was no hesitation in Theon's eyes. Those who hesitated would not accomplish great things, just like old Bruce. And the fate of this kind of person is to be eliminated by the times, and finally become a corpse in his own residence.
In this respect, he felt that he was in the same category as Zero. As long as they decide, they will spare no effort to achieve it.
Theon walked to the window of the office, holding the steaming coffee in his hand, facing north.
"Respect us!"
Sean said silently.
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day for Remut.
At noon, old Bruce was found dead in his bedroom by a servant. The strong alcohol smell and several empty wine bottles in the bedroom have already explained the cause of Bruce's death, and after the doctor's confirmation, it also confirmed that a large amount of alcohol remained in Bruce's body. So his sudden myocardial infarction must have a good reason. Although some representatives in the trade union who are friendly with Bruce still have doubts, the sudden increase in patrols in Remut City made them give up the idea of questioning. .
On the same day, Theon called a union representative meeting. Under the watchful eyes of the Cobra troops and a thousand soldiers with live ammunition, Theon quickly became the chairman of the union with an overwhelming number of votes.
Regardless of whether they were on the side of Theon's camp before, or they were representatives on the opposite side. In the next series of measures released by Xi Si, they all began to realize that Remut would make a big move. This emerging base city will soon be turning like a wheel, and the resources and wealth generated will be continuously invested in Theon's plan.
It is foreseeable that Raimt will usher in a period of rapid development. As for Remut, who is running crazily, whether it is ushering in a new life of transformation, or a hell of destruction, no one knows.
Even Xi Si didn't know!
He only knew that when Zero came out of Death Ridge, Remut would show the world a brand new side.
Zero is now walking in a jungle like a tropical rainforest.
After leaving Phoenix City, he and Mo Ni officially entered the Death God Ridge, which is known as the forbidden area of life, in the evening after passing a low but steep mountain road.
However, he did not expect that the mountains, which are labeled with various scary adjectives such as forbidden land, terror, and death, are filled with amazing vitality. Unlike the desolate wilderness, there is lush vegetation in Death God Ridge. Zero and two people just walked into the fringe area, and they have already seen many plants that only appeared in the old era and are basically extinct now.
It's just that regardless of the low bushes or the tall trees with bright fruits, the vitality of these plants is too strong. Its intensity is so strong that it appears in front of Zero like a living person.
This is a living mountain.
Zero made such an evaluation of Death Ridge.
But the name of Death Mountain is not in vain. The horror of this mountain lies in the death you can't see. Zero has not encountered any powerful mutant beasts so far, but like a bush whose branches and leaves can grow sawtooth at any time, a man-eating tree whose fibrous roots can rise off the ground and penetrate into the body of the prey, or it looks like Weak, verdant grass whose essence can easily split the human body... All the plants here are full of desire for flesh and blood, just like hungry beasts.
Half an hour after Zero entered Death God Ridge, he was attacked by such mutated plants. In the turbulent era, in addition to living things, plants also mutated in order to survive. But the mutations of these plants in Death God Ridge seem to be more severe than those of their relatives in the wilderness. From Zero's point of view, they even have a little intelligence, which makes people feel that the whole Death God Ridge is filled with a strange atmosphere.
It was night, and the blades of grass within the first ten meters of a hillside were all cleaned up by zero. Even the rhizome-like things in the soil were dug out by Zero, and after being dried in the evening sun, they were used by Zero as a bonfire at this moment.
But it turned out that Zero's caution was right. When these seemingly harmless roots were thrown into the fire, they twisted like living creatures, causing the flames to crackle. Mo Ni left this weird fire with some fear, but Lala was interested. The little beast stretched out its short forelimbs to touch the roots.
When it senses contact with an external object, some wood whiskers will quickly grow from the end of the rhizome, and then try to wrap itself around Lala like tentacles and keep itself away from the fire. Of course, for a guy with such an attempt, his body with all the wood must be cut off, and then helplessly burned into carbon in the flames, motionless.
It's just that even though these things look dry on the outside, they contain a lot of water. Even if it is grilled in the fire, it usually takes half an hour before it stops twisting. Zero thought, maybe this is the origin of the strong vitality of the plants. The desire for survival in this jungle is embodied in the different life forms of each plant.
"Zero, how long are we going to stay here?" Mo Ni hid beside Zero, shrinking her body.
Zero looked at the stubborn child. Although Mo Ni didn't say anything, her slightly trembling body showed that she was very scared. Zero patted her pink back and said, "Up to ten days."
Mo Ni nodded, didn't ask any more questions, but took out the dagger that was given to her to practice. Zero knew that Mo Ni didn't want to become her own oil bottle, so she worked hard to practice everything she taught her. It's just that he also knows that it will take a long time for Mo Ni to become stronger and even be able to survive independently in the wilderness. No matter how strong the desire to become stronger now is, it cannot change this fact.
But Moni has this thought, and Zero appreciates it very much. Facing the cruel reality, some people choose to submit, while others choose to fight. Undoubtedly, Mo Ni is the latter.
A map made in Phoenix City was spread out in front of Zero's eyes. This map only showed the general terrain of Death God Ridge, and the so-called passages in it were only cultivated by caravans and sporadic troops over the years. It's just a mountain road. Such a mountain road is only convenient for travelers to pass by, but it lacks safety at all. Not to mention those mutated beasts that have not yet been discovered, even such ubiquitous mutated plants are enough to threaten anyone passing through the mountain road.
In fact, there is not much difference in safety between walking on the mountain road or walking directly over mountains and mountains like Ling. The difference is that the caravan cannot take the zero way because of the cargo, and although the zero walks in a straight line, the time is greatly shortened, but because there is no team to take care of it, the safety factor is also reduced accordingly.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. As for how to choose, it only depends on the person who chooses.
here we go again.
Zero quickly took out the Colt, then turned and aimed at the dark place far away in the jungle.
Just now, Zero had the feeling of being spied on. With the improvement of his ability, Zero's sense became more and more acute, and he didn't think it was an illusion. Weak, but with a slight pinprick, it was some kind of hostile detection. But after Zero took out Colt, this feeling quickly disappeared, indicating that the person or creature who was peeping at him had left.
Feelings like this always appear from time to time after Zero enters Death Ridge. And judging from the frequency and location of appearance, the other party is constantly approaching him.
Without accurate information, Zero had no way of judging whether the opponent was an aborigine from Death Ridge, or the lingering killer from Parkland. But no matter which side it is, as long as he or it shows hostility towards Zero, Zero will always give them a surprise.
The sudden movement of raising the gun startled Mo Ni, but the girl did not panic. Instead, she grabbed Lala and lowered her body. At the same time, she grasped the dagger in her hand as if ready to attack at any time. It wasn't until Zero put Colt away that Monny released her own vigilant posture.
However, before Zero Butt sat down, the bushes not far to the west began to shake. With the wind blowing at this time, it is not surprising that the bushes shake. The strange thing is that the shaking of the bushes is completely opposite to the direction of the wind, as if they are escaping from something. If it weren't for Zero's keen senses and the golden right eye that can freely adjust the viewing distance, otherwise it would be impossible for someone else to notice such a subtle situation.
Zero immediately pulled Moni back to a place where the bonfire could not shine, and after a while, two men appeared on the camp that Zero had cleared. The man was not wearing modern clothes, but only a hemp skirt on his lower body. Various graffiti-like patterns were painted on the skirt with unknown paints, and there were also various colorful tattoos on the body.
The man held a sharp wooden spear with a turquoise-painted tip in his hand. If it is not for the worship of a certain color, it is the use of an ancient but effective attack method of poisoning. Due to years of exposure to intensely radiated air, these two men each had varying degrees of mutated tissues. These mutated tissues appeared on their chests or shoulders, like a layer of biological armor.
When such mutated tissues deteriorate further, they will compete with human organs for nutrients in the body, eventually leading to the death of human beings. No one can change this ending unless it is removed through precise surgery like Master.
And before they became fatal, the abnormally thick fibrous layers of these mutated tissues did serve as a common defense against them.
These two fell into Zero Eye hiding in the dark, but they were indistinguishable from the jungle natives of the old days. And they, without knowing it, are the mountain mobs that George said.
