Zero looked up and looked at Atesa.
Atesa sat next to Zero, took a few breaths and said, "He disappeared from the upper reaches of the Larsen River."
"Are you sure?" Zero asked, because the injury needed time to recover, Zero could not do the reconnaissance work by himself. Atesa volunteered to take up the task, and the girl returned to the village after more than two hours.
Atesa raised her eyebrows and said, "I've been the best hunter in the village since I was five years old. Always have been!"
After she emphasized this point, she pointed to the map in front of Zero and said, "This guy is just as you said, very cunning! He almost cleaned up all traces of leaving, including footprints, all physical traces that can be left There was nothing left, but he couldn't get rid of the smell. I have to say, the smell of you outsiders is really quite obvious, so obvious that it's like a torch under the night, I can smell it as soon as I smell it."
"Following his scent, I came to the upper reaches of the Lamason River, where there were traces of plants being cut down, and mud marks where heavy objects were pushed into the water. I think he had no extra energy to clean up the traces when he arrived here, so in the After chopping wood to build a raft, he quickly chose to go into the water and escape." Atesa added.
Looking at the map, the Lamassen River is a tortuous river, and it does not become flat until the area about a kilometer downstream. Most of them are rapids and rapids, and there is no place to land. In other words, if Parkland's killer goes into the water, he must have to go downstream to re-land.
Zero pointed downstream and asked, "From upstream to downstream, how long does it take to drift along the water?"
Atesa closed her eyes, obviously calculating in her heart. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "Three days."
"Three days?"
"This is the most conservative estimate, including that this guy was not thrown into the water by the rapids, or that he was not attacked by the giant tooth fish and three-sided alligator in the La Masan River." Atesa sneered: "It's summer, La The mutant beasts in the Mason River are active. Even if they did not attack this outsider, their violent movements in the water will cause various whirlpools and undercurrents, which will greatly increase the time to pass the La Mason River. Three days is already the shortest It's time, it can't be shorter!"
Zero looked at the map, from the Semitic village to the lower reaches of the Lamasen River. In addition to taking the waterway, there is only one way to cross the Death Canyon. Judging from the trend of the map, although the Death Canyon does not run through the northern area in a straight line, the slight slope is much faster than the snake-like Lamassen River.
"How long will it take us to reach the lower reaches of the Lamason River if we walk through Death Canyon?" Zero asked again.
Atesa's eyes lit up: "It can be reached tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Death Valley is full of Death Flowers, and the strong wind in the valley blows endlessly every day, making Death Flowers fly all over the sky, becoming an insurmountable barrier. But during a day, The wind will stop around 12-3 in the morning. We can swing through the countless trees and vines that criss-cross the canyon without touching the Reaper. But…”
Looking at Zero, the black girl said with some regret: "Your injury will not be able to act until at least tomorrow, so our arrival time will have to be delayed by one day."
"That's too late." Zero stood up, took out another roll of detoxifying bandages, and said after wrapping around his body, "We're going to set off tonight, and we must rush to the downstream area tomorrow evening, and then we can give him a surprise."
"Can you hold it? It takes at least two hours to pass through the canyon, that kind of exercise..." Atesa said skeptically.
Zero said with a smile: "As long as there is no violent fighting, there should be no problem."
He is not exaggerating. The estimate of the injury during the day is based on the recovery data of the previous serious injury as a reference. But Zero found that now his physical recovery ability seems to have strengthened a bit. The injury, which was basically recovered only tomorrow morning, has now reached the minimum standard for action. If things continue like this, Zero believes that it is not impossible for Zero to recover from an injury like Hans in an instant, and even regenerate his body.
Kan Ling insisted, and Atesa did not object, so the two quickly packed their bags.
Zero woke up Mo Ni and saw that it was getting late. Naturally, she couldn't let Mo Ni act by herself like going to Death Canyon during the day. But in Zero's case, he was only allowed to act on his own, and he couldn't use a speed exceeding the fourth level of agility, otherwise his injuries would worsen. So this task fell to Atesa. Fortunately, Atesa didn't hate Moni, and the black girl didn't object.
In this way, the three left the village and shuttled between the mountains at a constant speed of 150 kilometers per hour in the dark. Although only using the third-level agility speed, Zero looked at Atesa's face with ease, and thought that this black girl might not be much lower than herself in terms of agility enhancement.
Agility enhancement is an auxiliary ability, generally speaking, only fighting type, and mainly women will strengthen this ability. Because women's physical strength is not as good as men's, it is determined that they do not have the potential to strengthen and develop into high-level strength. Therefore, they need more flexible skills and extraordinary speed to make up for the lack of strength.
Even if they are high-level fighting fighters, they will at most choose around the third level of enhancement for this ability. After all, for them, nimble skills are not as clean as the suppression of absolute power. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, they are not optimistic about the ability of agility enhancement, even though the lowest level ability will cause a qualitative change once it is developed to a high level. But in the eyes of many people, agility enhancement is a kind of escape skill, and those who choose to invest in this ability usually represent the weak.
Zero has no prejudice in this regard, he is not good at elemental domain, or fighting domain technology. Whether it is sniping or short-range gunfights, both of them need to keep a distance from the opponent. Therefore, for him, the cost-effectiveness of agility enhancement is currently the highest. For a shooter, distance is life!
And Atesa, who grew up in the jungle, seems to have invested a lot of evolution points in agility enhancement. In addition to the factor of being a woman, this is more or less related to Atesa's living environment. After all, on Death Ridge, the speed is faster, and the chance of saving your life is relatively higher.
After two hours, the three of them came to the dividing line seen in the morning on the downhill. From the moment he stepped on the reddish-brown gravel, he could clearly feel that the radiation intensity in this area was much stronger than the area occupied by mutant plants. For this reason, Mo Ni has already put on protective clothing and activated the radiation protection kit to resist the huge amount of radiation in this area.
But this is not enough. With Mo Ni's physique and equipment, she can only spend about two or three hours in this area at most. After this time, Moni will be infected, which will cause a series of genetic lesions, and finally lead to a complete collapse of the gene.
Therefore, Zero and Atesa do not stay. After only a short rest before entering on the grass with green vegetation, he rushed towards the entrance of Death Canyon at a speed with afterimages.
Both of them understood that this was not just a race against the Parkland Killer, but a race against time. The time left for them to pass through the valley, in terms of their skills, the distance of the two hundred kilometers deep canyon is just right. This has to ensure that there are no accidents on the way, and as long as they accidentally fall to the bottom of the valley, the death flowers all over the mountains and plains will become their final destination.
When we came to the entrance of the canyon, the wind just stopped for about a minute, and the time was strictly calculated by Atesa. When Lingsan and the others came to Taniguchi, they happened to be able to see the magnificent scene of the blue magic flowers all over the sky continuously falling to the ground. This scene is like falling flowers in the sky, as beautiful as a dreamlike fireworks. At the same time, it is also the deadliest pyrotechnics.
Atesa did not speak, and Moni, who was carrying her on her back, had already been fixed with a bark rope made of a Semitic. Therefore, the black girl didn't need to be distracted by Moni. She concentrated on choosing each place to stay, carefully stayed away from every place where she might step on the Death Flower, and kept moving towards the canyon's mountain wall. Zero followed her, and the landing point was as precise as the repetition of Atedonsha's movements.
Under the dark night, the figures of the three of them kept approaching the canyon's mountain wall. When he got closer, Ling saw that the wall of the death canyon was scorched black, but there were many holes in the wall. There are arm-thick vines protruding from these holes, and they are intricately tangled in the air, and connected to the other side of the canyon, forming a dark green barrier.
These vines are the only plants in the canyon, and they are slightly different from normal vines. On the roots on the surface of the vines, there are round hard shells of different sizes, which look like abnormal tissues produced by the human body after staying under the radiation source for a long time. The Grim Reaper Flower on the ground of the canyon actually grew out of the mutated tissues of these plants. The Reaper Flower is the product of the vines draining the toxins from their bodies, otherwise they would not be able to grow so densely in this area where the radiation source is frighteningly strong.
Zero had no time to lament the wonder of nature's creation, watching Atesa suddenly speed up. She almost ran up the sloped mountain wall with Mo Ni on her back, and when she reached the top, she stretched out her hand and hung on a vine. Following that, Atesa quickly moved her hands alternately, just like this in mid-air, using the ubiquitous vines to move towards the depths of the canyon.
Taking a deep breath, Zero suddenly raised his speed to the fourth level of agility. Signals of pain came from all over the body immediately, Zero's face was pale, but he suppressed the voice of resistance from his body with a firm will. The huge kinetic energy in exchange pushed him and Atesa to run up the mountain wall, and then when he was close to the highest point, his hands suddenly grabbed a vine, and Zero released the fourth-order agility ability.
Fortunately, the "distance" of this effort is not far away, and Ling's body can still bear it. But looking at the trend of the canyon extending far away, Zero couldn't help but smile wryly. Now he can only hope that his body can survive this distance that is not too far, but not too close, as he expected. Otherwise, the faint blue land under his feet will become his most gorgeous coffin!
