The next morning, Zero came to Leah's lab. Liya was sorting and summarizing the medicines that Zuoge and the others brought, and she wasn't too surprised to see Zero coming. Old Jack had told her earlier that from today onwards, Zero would take Hult's place as her bodyguard. For Leah, it doesn't matter who is the bodyguard, it's just another person who restricts her freedom.
"Come on, help me move those things here." Leah pointed to the medicine boxes on the table on one side of the room and said. Sometimes the job of a bodyguard is not just simple protection, but also includes letting Leah command various medicine boxes. Kind of trivia.
Zero brought something as promised, but made a special request.
"I want you to help me do another ability appraisal."
"Huh?" Liya raised her head. Today she is wearing flat glasses, adding a touch of intellectual beauty to this beautiful girl.
Leah thought she heard it wrong, and asked, "What did you just say?"
Zero repeated it, and Liya put down the words at hand, and circled around Zero: "Why, do you feel that your body is abnormal?"
"A little bit." Zero recalled the madness last night and the power that suddenly appeared, and he added: "But no matter what the result is, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"If I tell, will you... kill me?" Leah asked half-jokingly.
Ling shook his head, and said seriously: "I will leave."
He has his own considerations.
When Leah mentioned supernatural beings before, she pointed out a rule recognized by the world. That is, the survivors who have not experienced the cataclysm, because their genes have not been shaken, it is impossible to produce abilities and evolution points. If Zero identified the ability to produce, then he would definitely be regarded as a freak. Although he didn't really understand this new era, he also knew that even in the old era, the appearance of new species meant capture and research.
He didn't like being a prey, let alone being a guinea pig, that's why he asked Leah to keep it a secret.
Leah nodded, and she carefully locked the door of the laboratory. Then even if someone came suddenly, they would not find Zero's anomaly in the first place. As for Liya, she didn't believe that Zero's body would undergo a mutation at all.
Because it is impossible.
Linghe lay down on the platform of the appraiser like last time, closed his eyes, and felt the movement of the platform sliding into the instrument, feeling agitated in his heart.
In this chaotic era, Zero certainly hopes to obtain stronger abilities. But at the same time, if there is a mutation ability, it violates the laws recognized by the world. That can only show that Zero's origin is more mysterious and complicated, otherwise how could he, who has not experienced the catastrophe, have a mutation.
Liya's ten fingers moved flexibly on the console, and with the input of a group of commands, various lights began to flash in the appraiser. When each kind of light flashes, a set of data will be sent to the data center, where the data will be concentrated, and then aggregated into clear data and displayed on the console.
When the zero data flashed across the screen, Leah had to cover her mouth with her hands to keep herself from screaming.
But the computer reported the data with an inorganic voice. The comprehensive data of the body has slightly increased by 3 to 5 percentage points compared to before, which is almost negligible. What surprised Leah was the data at the back: "... Target abilities: first-order strength enhancement, first-order Defense strengthening. Evolution point data: 1."
When Zero came down from the platform, Liya suddenly reached out to hold his face, and then hugged Zero in her arms with a cry of joy. Zero's head was buried by two clumps of software, and his nose was filled with the healthy body fragrance of a young girl.
"That's great, zero. First-order strength enhancement and defense enhancement, which is the ability of the combat domain. There is also a redundant evolution point, you can naturally evolve a certain ability, or buy a mature formula medicine from a big company, To catalyze the ability of orientation." Liya let go of Zero, tears welled up in her eyes with excitement: "Great, our base finally has a supernatural person, I will tell grandpa right now."
Letting go of Zero, Liya turned to leave, but was caught by Zero.
Zero looked at her and shook his head slowly. It was only then that Liya remembered what she promised to Cross Zero just now, and she asked in a low voice: "I promise to only tell Grandpa, no third person will know."
"Only you and I know." Zero emphasized.
"Why?" Leah wondered.
Zero answered concisely: "I'm afraid of trouble."
Leah is also a smart person, just think of what trouble Zero is referring to? Indeed, if the facts of Zero are revealed, the rules that are regarded as iron laws all over the world will be overturned. God knows how many big companies and organizations will capture Zero as a mutated species and take it back for research. This is something that Zero is worried about.
"Then you're not afraid of me speaking out?" Leah asked again.
"I don't know." In Zero's mind, the beautiful figure in the dream overlapped with the girl in front of him, and he said, "But I believe in you."
Liya seemed to have an electric current passing through her whole body. She was slightly shocked, lowered her head and said, "Then... this is a secret between us."
"Um."
"Pull the hook?" Liya stretched out her little finger and made a childish gesture.
Zero hesitated, but finally hooked up with Lia with his little finger. Liya let out a satisfied laugh, and then said worriedly: "But if you don't tell Grandpa, he won't ask the Parkland chaebol for a mature formula medicine. But if you want to let the evolution point naturally form a new ability, then I don't know." How long it will take, and I don’t know whether the newly formed ability is stable or not, and whether it will be dangerous.”
In the turbulent age, the value of supernatural beings is so great that it cannot be estimated. Even ordinary people with supernatural powers are still recruited by various small companies. For safety reasons, many supernatural beings will choose to use the mature formula medicines sold by major companies, and then catalyze the ability of orientation. The ability formed in this way is both stable and not dangerous. Only a small number of combat madmen, or supernatural beings who have no power to rely on, will take the risk of allowing their evolution points to naturally transform into new abilities.
Undirected ability transformation, there may be a powerful combat domain ability, or it may be an auxiliary ability that makes people laugh and cry. So there is no need, no one will choose to let the evolution point transform naturally.
After Leah analyzed the power of it to Zero, the latter still shook his head stubbornly. Compared to transforming the first evolutionary point into directional ability, Zero prefers to let it evolve naturally. After all, the risk of exposing the ability is too great. As for the formula medicine, Ling believes that as long as he improves his strength, he will have a way to get it from a big company in the future. As for now, he really doesn't need to take this risk for an evolutionary point.
Seeing that Zero still disagrees, Liya no longer insists. After the two made a verbal agreement in this way, Zero began to help Liya continue to divide the work of the drug. When it was almost noon, the radio at the base suddenly rang.
On the radio, Old Jack's voice came: "Everyone come to the work area, I have something important to announce."
This broadcast was repeated three times, and even Leah didn't know what old Jack was going to announce. But he still followed the instructions and continued with the work at hand, He Ling left the laboratory and walked towards the work area. Walking on the passage to the work area, people passed by from time to time, and from their whispers, the two heard sporadic conversations. The content of the conversation seemed to be related to a woman, and for some reason, Zero thought of Lida.
When we came to the gate of the mine in the working area, there was already a sea of people, and there was an open space in the middle. Old Jack stood in the center of the field wearing his uniform for thousands of years. To Zero's surprise, Zuo Ge was also there, leading seven soldiers to maintain order. Beside Old Jack, there were two people kneeling and standing.
Kneeling was a man in his thirties with a wretched appearance. Zero recognized him, it was Hans the white man who wanted to mess with him when Zero just woke up. This person seemed to have been beaten severely, his entire face was swollen, and there were many bruises on his body. There was still blood at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he had been severely beaten.
But beside Hans stood a woman, tall and slender, wearing a white dress and black skirt, who wasn't Lida who wanted to make out with Zero last night
Coming to the periphery of the crowd, Zero saw Zuo Ge, who also saw him and walked towards him.
"What's going on?" Zero asked softly.
Zuoge looked at him, smiled wryly and said, "Lida went to find you last night."
Hearing this sentence, Leah couldn't help but look at Zero. Lida's fame had already spread throughout the base, and men who wanted to marry her could form a long queue. But Lida has never heard of anyone who is cheaper, let alone delivered it to her door. And in Liya's eyes looking at Zero, there was something extra unknowingly.
That kind of thing is called jealousy.
Zero didn't realize it, just nodded heavily.
"But you sent her out the door untouched?" Zuoge asked again.
Zero nodded again.
Seeing this situation, Leah began to feel a little more relaxed.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Ge smiled wryly and said, "But you have hurt her."
Zero raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Zuoge pouted at Hans over there and said, "Just last night, that bitch gave Lida to..."
Zero was taken aback, finally understanding what happened. He secretly clenched his fists, and a cold light shot out from his indifferent eyes.
He was angry.
"It's fine if Lida is just defiled by him, but that damned guy is not clean, he has been infected by the virus..." Zuo Ge finally sighed heavily.
Zero may not know what this means, but Leah does. She couldn't help exclaiming "Ah", and at the same time, she understood what kind of fate Rita would usher in. Just a moment ago, she was subconsciously jealous of this woman, but at this moment, Liya was full of deep sympathy for her.
