When she saw Lan Qi, Atesa's pupils narrowed, and the activity of the light elements on her body immediately became more frequent. But Zero pressed her hand, and Atesa looked at him puzzled. Ling Ning said calmly: "Can you leave it to me? I promise, he won't be able to get out of this small town."
"You promise?" Atesa asked after a moment of silence.
Zero Chong nodded and said, "Listen, the situation is not good for us now. So I want you to do something for me and take Moni away. You go to a further place, the next settlement or some other base. Then quietly Stay, I will find you, wherever you are?"
"Zero..." Mo Ni hesitated to speak.
Zero patted her on the head and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't die. I promised you that I will protect you until you are eighteen. Before that, I will be fine!"
Monnie nodded vigorously.
"What a touching scene." Beside the car, Sauron applauded: "Then, the time for the duel will be set at noon. Before that, please let me prepare a duel stage for you. Before the duel begins, the two of them You can leave, go as far as you can. But zero, when you die, I will find these two women and entertain them well!"
A smile appeared on Zero's face: "Don't worry, before that, I will take your life first!"
The grievances between him and Parklan have no room for buffering, especially for Sauron. Sauron also understood that when the girl named Leah died at the hands of Kabu, only one of him and Zero could survive.
"Then we'll wait and see." Sauron spread his hands and said with a smile.
Following him, he snapped his fingers and pointed at a few soldiers to put away their weapons. Under Sauron's series of orders, nearly half of the soldiers jumped onto the truck. Sauron also got into the car, and Parkland's convoy drove towards the center of Windmill Town. As for the remaining soldiers, they were responsible for monitoring Zero to ensure that he would not wait for an opportunity to escape before the duel at noon.
In fact, Zero had no such plan. If he escaped, it would mean that the lives of Atesa and Moni would be lost. And on the wilderness, if Sauron's army catches up and launches indiscriminate firepower, it will be difficult for even zero to survive. On the contrary, it is a better choice to keep Sauron in Windmill Town and let Atesa and the others have time to leave.
At least in a town with complex terrain like Windmill Town, Zero can still run if he can't fight. Unless Sauron razes the entire town to the ground, the chance of intercepting Zero will be very low. As for the damage to his reputation caused by his escape, Zero didn't think about it at all. As long as the situation permits, he doesn't want to lose his life for nothing. In the age of turmoil, even high-ranking powerhouses know that life is the priority in everything, and other things can be ignored, as long as it is within the scope allowed by their own principles.
Only being alive is the root of everything. As for the dead, no matter how much glory is added to the body, nothing can be changed.
All for survival!
There was no unnecessary form of farewell. After Zero gave them a hug respectively, Atesa took Moni and Lala and left Windmill Town. With Atesa's agility close to the fifth level, they could completely stay away from Windmill Town by nearly 400 kilometers before noon. Even if Sauron intends to catch up with them, it will take a lot of effort.
With no more worries, Zero quietly waited for the start of the duel in the hotel. Near noon, he silently ate a piece of bread and drank 200ml of clean water to keep his body in top condition.
Under Sauron's notice, Zero walked out of the hotel. He carried a Colt on his back, and his M500 revolver was in a holster around his waist. The * is inserted into the scabbard on the outside of the thigh to facilitate zero extraction at any time. As for the energy weapon, Light Fang, Zero hid it on his body and hoped it would be best not to use it. When a gunslinger engages in hand-to-hand combat with short weapons, that also means he is dancing with death.
Zero knew this, and he knew his opponent knew it too. The black man named Lange was also an excellent shooter.
Windmill Town at noon was very lively, and the small fountain in the town square was surrounded by spectators. Sauron brought a leather sofa from nowhere and was leaning comfortably on the sofa. He opened a sun umbrella behind him to block the dazzling sunlight for this noble young man. On a round table in front of the sofa, there was a bottle of chilled red wine and a goblet.
Sauron just drank his wine and waited for the show to start.
He has prepared a duel stage for Zero and Lan Qi, which is an abandoned factory in the town. Inside, Sauron made some arrangements to make the duel between the two more exciting.
When the hour hand on the pocket watch points to the 12 o'clock position, zero arrives, exactly.
Sauron raised his glass to salute him, with an expression as if he were looking at a dying man. Zero kept his expression silently in his heart. At this moment, the crowd on the other side parted a passage, and Lan Ge, who was also fully armed, came over.
Lan Qi was wearing a tight tactical uniform, still carrying his mad eagle. But he has an extra automatic pistol and pistol, and at the same time, he is wearing an ammunition belt with two pistols besides the special bullets for the shotgun.
"Very good, Zero, you didn't run away, otherwise you will find that this is a boring exercise wasting each other's time." Sauron jumped up from the sofa, walked between the two of them and smiled: "I won't say anything redundant, Let the soldiers take you to the stage now. Only one of you can come out alive, and if you win, I can generously give you half a day to escape. Then, go!"
After clapping their hands, a soldier came forward from behind Sauron, leading Zero and Lan Qi.
When he came to the factory building, Zero saw that Sauron's soldiers surrounded the place, apparently to prevent Zero from escaping. At the soldier's signal, the two rusty gates of the factory were pushed open, revealing a dimly lit space.
Zero and Lan Qi walked towards the gate at the same time. When they entered the factory building, the iron gate behind them slowly closed.
The first floor of the factory building is obviously a workshop. Zero saw many unusable machine tools, which were covered with thick dust. He didn't know how long they had been idle here. Now, they are the silent spectators of the duel between Zero and Lan Qi.
Looking up, Zero saw cracked floor slabs, steel bars protruding from the concrete, and cracks all over the walls. These are all illustrating the fact that the building is damaged, and it cannot withstand too severe impact. Maybe just a single * will knock down the building.
All in all, this is an extremely dangerous stage.
"Can we start?" Lan Qi asked very gentlemanly.
Zero nodded: "Anytime."
"Then let's begin!"
There was a sharp light in Lan Qi's eyes.
The two moved at the same time.
