"Yes, she has to go. But I'll go with him!"
Leah thought of Zero's words while walking on the road that was emitting an astonishingly high heat.
They had already left the Z7 base, and were heading towards Silvertree City on foot. Originally, Zero didn't have to leave. Leah believes that Zero will be better developed at the base. Grandpa Jack is dead, and the Parkland chaebol will definitely bring in a new manager. Now that he is familiar with the situation of the base and all the soldiers have died in battle, Ling has a great chance to take Zuoge's place and become the new commander-in-chief of the base.
But Zero gave up his bright future and accompanied him into the wilderness where life and death are unpredictable.
Liya didn't know where they were going, but when she heard that sentence from Zero's mouth, she had already decided to hand over her fate to this man. No matter whether the destination is heaven or hell, she will not regret it, and will never turn back.
The end of zero is not heaven, let alone hell, but a settlement called Remut.
Before leaving, he had looked at the map. Three thousand kilometers away from the base, the inhabited area called Remut clearly wrote "Intermediate" on the sign. A mid-level settlement means having relatively complete living facilities and a weapon platform that can defend against foreign enemies. At the same time, that meant Zero and Leah's first foothold. If nothing else, Zero will be there for a while.
The virus that Leah was infected with was very strange, and she thought about it and only thought of one possibility. The source of the virus should come from Hans, which is the abnormal object that Leah has come into contact with in the past ten days. It's just that Zero doesn't understand that he has also been in contact with Hans, and even the degree of contact is much "closer" than Leah. But why is there nothing wrong with me, but Leah feels his virus.
However, it is not enough to understand that, the Z7 base has neither equipment nor professional personnel capable of testing and treating viral infections. As an intermediate settlement, Remut might have such resources. At the very least, they should have laboratories capable of testing for the virus. Zero decided to heal Leah no matter what, not only because of old Jack's entrustment at the time of his death, but also because Zero didn't want Lida's misfortune to happen again before his eyes.
After taking away the necessary equipment, dry food and clean water. Zero and Lia set off on foot, starting at dawn and hoping to reach Silverwood City by dusk.
Zero is no stranger to Silvertree City. Right there, Zero transformed into a first-order power and defense enhancement ability, and gained an extra evolution point. After the recent battle with Hans, Zero's agility enhancement has reached the second level, and two additional evolution points have been generated. Because there is no medicine, the two evolutionary points still quietly exist in Zero's body, and no other new abilities have been transformed naturally.
At present, Zero, who possesses first-level strength and defense enhancement, and second-level agility enhancement, no longer pays attention to Silver Tree City. As long as he doesn't encounter monsters like the Butcher, Zero can guarantee Leah's safety in Silverwood City.
They will rest there and then head to Reemt as quickly as possible.
The journey was monotonous and tedious, and Zero was not good with words, and Lia also knew that it would be better to use them on the road than to waste them on meaningless small talk. So along the way, they rarely talked, and only took two breaks in between.
While walking through the canyon along the road, Zero accidentally heard the sound of a car engine. When he looked back, a modified green leather car had already crashed towards them. Zero could see the stunned expression of the young driver on the car, which made him judge that the driver didn't mean it. So he just threw Leah on the ground and rolled away. Instead of rewarding the car with a shuttle of bullets after safety.
After the thrilling encounter, the car parked diagonally on the shoulder of the road on the canyon wall. The door opened, and the young driver asked about their situation. Zero pulled Lia up and walked towards the car.
"Are you going to Remut?" Zero asked after saying that the two of them were not injured.
This is the fringe area of the Central Continent, and the nearest settlement is only Remut. And Zero doesn't think that the fuel capacity of this car is enough for them to drive to a farther base, so the probability of these people going to Remut is more than 90%.
With the driver's nod, Zero knew that he had guessed right. He took out his wallet and said to the driver, "Please give us a ride, I can pay."
20 coins poured out of the wallet, and from the driver's eyes, Zero knew that he was tempted.
But at this time, someone in the car objected, it was a black man.
"We don't take strangers of unknown origin." The black man shook his head.
Zero frowned. If it's just him, he wouldn't mind going on foot and enjoying the scenery along the way, although the wilderness is really not very scenic. It's just that he still has Liya with him. If there is a car instead, the journey will be much more enjoyable.
"Don't be like this, Jian. It's not easy for the two of them, especially this lady, don't you have any sympathy?" The young driver complained and smiled at Leah frequently. It could be seen that the young man had a crush on Leah.
The black man snorted and said, "Compassion is worth a lot these days. How do you know if they will harm us? I just want to reach Remut safely, and I don't want to make any mistakes on the way."
The driver looked towards the other passengers in the car, they seemed to have the same idea as the black Ji An. Everyone was silent, and the driver had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and say, "Sorry, buddy. I'm afraid you'll have to walk."
Zero glanced at him lightly, and took back his wallet.
But he didn't intend to leave, instead he rushed forward with lightning. Zero grabbed the black man's neck with one hand, and lifted him up forcefully, until the black man's head touched the top of the car door frame. The black man growled and was about to fight back, but the barrel of a gun aimed at the center of his eyebrows made the black man disappear without a trace.
Immediately there were screams in the car, several men stood up, but no one dared to step forward to stop the M500 revolver that could be called a murder weapon in Zero's hand.
"Hehehe, don't get excited, buddy. Maybe we can discuss this matter." The driver waved his hands again and again and said anxiously.
Ling Yong said in an indifferent voice: "There is no need to discuss, give us a ride. Or, give me the car."
In turbulent times, if language cannot be used to communicate, violence may be another means to solve the problem.
Cold sweat dripped down the back of the Negro's head.
A guy who dares to take a woman wandering in the wilderness is either a weak-headed guy or a fierce man with extraordinary strength. Looking at Zero, he doesn't look like someone with a brain problem. And being able to lift an adult man weighing 80 kilograms with one hand, that strength is definitely not something that a body as slender as Zero can possess. In other words, zero belongs to the majority of the latter components.
Ji An realizes suddenly, perhaps oneself provoked a evil star.
