It was already evening when Zero walked out of the base, the bright red sky light penetrated through the radiant clouds, reflecting the clouds like flames burning for thousands of miles.
Outside the base, the servants were removing the supplies from the off-road vehicles and carrying them into the base. Zero and the others will spend the night at the Z7 Base, before leaving for Shuangta Mountain tomorrow morning. The journey this time was longer than he expected, and Zero didn't expect to cross the mountains that spanned thousands of miles. Strictly speaking, this was his first real long-distance travel.
Fortunately, Avenott's supplies are very sufficient, and the supplies are enough for them to go back and forth. The only thing to worry about is the world behind the Twin Pagoda Mountains, which is a mysterious place not even recorded in the Hall of Valor, and no one knows what happened there.
"Captain, would you like one?"
In the open space outside the base, Johnny was sitting on a stone bar and smoking a cigarette. Seeing Zero appear, he took out another cigarette and shook it towards Zero.
Zero was not polite, and after taking it, Johnny lit it for him. Zero took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a smoke ring. He seldom smokes, but in fact, the cigarettes prepared for ability users are all mixed with a small amount of neurotoxins. If it weren't for this, a capable user would not be able to experience the feeling of an ordinary person when he smokes. This is the reason why Zero rarely smokes. After all, no matter how small the toxin is, it is a hazard.
But right now, it might be a good idea to relax once in a while.
In front of Johnny, Hai Wei is practicing leg skills. The girl's slender legs are full of explosive power. In the afterglow of the evening, she constantly kicks out various swift and tricky kicks, presenting a picture full of strength and beauty.
Since Johnny agreed to be her teacher in the afternoon, Johnny has taught her some basic leg combos. As a master of fighting, Johnny is naturally very good at punching and kicking. What he taught Hai Wei to learn is much better than the skills taught to her by the captain of the base. Fighting masters are originally a profession that pays attention to combining their own energy with punching skills to exert terrible destructive power. It can be said that once they are entangled in close combat, as long as the level is not too far apart, defeat is only a matter of time.
"It can be seen that you like this child very much." Zero said lightly.
Johnny nodded vigorously: "She has good aptitude. If she is trained, it will not be difficult to become another fighting master, or even a high-level martial artist."
Zero was slightly surprised, he never thought that Johnny would have such a high opinion of this girl. This reminded Zero of Mo Ni, the girl who played the dagger very well, and also had good potential in the fighting domain. If she is guided by a Master, her achievements are limitless.
It's just that the child and Guru Tan who had the pupils of the strange beast went to nowhere. If they can meet again, Zero intends to bring them back to Asgard, where they will be able to tap their full potential.
At this time, there was a strange wind sound. That was a resonating howling sound formed by a series of air vibrations!
Ling raised his eyes and saw that under the red sky, a few beads of sweat were flying in the air.
Hai Wei twisted her waist, her soft and slender waist made Hai Wei turn almost 180 degrees on the spot. While rotating, the legs take a wrong step, and then use the power of the waist rotation to kick back hard.
Those slender legs seemed to pierce the surface of the water, causing ripples in the air. When the tip of the leg stretched to the limit, countless ripples merged into one, forming a circular shock wave as big as a round table!
With a buzzing sound, the air screamed, and the formed air wave pushed Haiwei's short hair back as far as possible. Beads of sweat glisten under the sky, like flying stardust, Haiwei reflected in the starlight is unparalleled!
After finishing this last kick, Haiwei put her hands on her knees, panted with her mouth wide open, completely disregarding her image, and instantly changed from a stunning Valkyrie back to a young child.
Johnny laughed: "Not bad, not bad, I was able to use the air wing strike in just one afternoon. Back then, I spent ten days practicing this move."
"Don't underestimate this move. Although the air wing strike is a basic leg skill, it pays attention to the coordination of body and energy, and is also the basis of advanced leg skills. Only by mastering it can you learn future skills with twice the result with half the effort. "Johnny added.
"Then when will the teacher teach me advanced leg skills?" Haiwei said excitedly with her small hands clenched into fists.
"It's still early, you brat, let me raise all three items of strength, defense, and agility to the fourth level first. Only after I advance to a fighting master like me can I have access to more powerful skills and abilities." Johnny said angrily, and immediately poured cold water on Haiwei.
When Haiwei heard this, she immediately became dejected.
Zero unconsciously showed a smile, and the moment he realized it, Feng's voice sounded from the communicator: "Captain, you'd better come back. Captain Agatha and Berrien are arguing."
"I see." Zero replied, stood up and walked back to the base.
In the working area of the base, the site has been cleaned up by the servants, and it has become a place for the zero people to rest tonight. Several tents have been set up, and the servants have set up the camp stove and are handling instant food. These foods are artificially made fiber foods, which are close to beef in both texture and taste, but only close to it, not real beef.
Instant food is also one of the supplies that Avenott prepared for them. After all, nutrients are only emergency food during the march. If you want to eat this for three meals a day, you must drive people crazy. Although instant food is not real food, they are rich in nutrition, and they can taste as good as restaurants with only simple heating.
Only soldiers in Asgard have this kind of benefits, and soldiers in other cities in the wilderness don't have this kind of enjoyment.
But in this meaty temporary camp, Agatha and Berrien seemed to be arguing about something. When Zero walked to the side of the two captains, they had already shut up.
"What happened?" Zero asked.
Agatha said: "I plan to let Hai Wei's child go with us. She is the only survivor. I don't feel confident about keeping her. But Captain Berrien strongly opposes it."
Zero looked at Berrien, and the arrogant man snorted through his nostrils and said, "Captain Agatha, please don't give your kindness casually! That little guy also said that the living corpse seems to be cooperating with some humans." , They are called guides, aren't they? Then how can you be sure that Hai Wei won't be a guide?"
"That's impossible." Agatha denied: "During the contact with her, I used some tricks without attracting her attention. In this child's memory, there is no suspicion of a guide!"
"This is your so-called evidence?" Berrien said disdainfully: "Captain Agatha, you are not a child anymore. Don't you know how wide the world of abilities is, even I know that there is an ability in the perception domain It's called 'memory erasure', and it can completely clear certain specific memory areas. How do you know, will the kid also use this ability. Through her, bring us to the living corpses who are preparing for the morning Good trap?"
"Based on what you're saying, we'd better not even go to the Eye of Flame. Isn't that right, wise Captain Berrien?" Agatha retorted.
Berrien wanted to say something else, but Zero stretched out his hand to stop the two captains from continuing to argue: "Okay, such an argument is meaningless."
Zero Look said to Berrien: "I believe Captain Agatha's judgment, that child doesn't seem to approach us intentionally."
Before Berrien had an attack, Zero said to Agatha: "But at the same time, Captain Berrien's concerns are also right. So I think we must go to Blazing Eye, but Haiwei will let her stay at the base for the time being." Here. We left her two servants and some living supplies, and we will take her away after the task is completed."
Zero's method is a compromise, and Agatha and Berrien can only take a step back. The two captains kept silent, but acquiesced to Zero's decision. So the matter was settled. When Ling talked to Haiwei about this matter, Haiwei showed a sensible side and said that she could take care of herself without leaving the servants.
On the second day, after leaving enough supplies and weapons, the convoy of Zero and others set off. They left the Z7 base, returned to the coastline road, drove south, and finally turned west along the road. The road extends for about 300 kilometers and reaches an abandoned mine.
This is the terminus at the southern end of the coastline road. After passing the mine and going west, there is a bumpy wilderness. The Twin Towers are like a door to the west, lying on the horizon of the wilderness. The highest peak on the north side of the mountain range even penetrated into the radiation clouds. Looking at this mountain range, Zero knew that their road ahead would be extremely difficult.
Five days later, Ling Xingxing appeared on the other side of the mountain halfway up the mountain. Off-road vehicles and light motorcycles could not cross the Shuangta Mountains, so they were left at the foot of the mountain in the east. Ling and they crossed the Shuangta Mountains on foot. Some places even required free-hand rock climbing, for which they lost a servant. The unlucky fellow caught a loose rock and fell down the mountain with him, probably with no bones left.
Only those who are familiar with the Twin Towers know how to cross the mountains safely. Unfortunately, they don't know, and they don't have a guide, so they have to pay some price.
They chose a relatively flat mountainside platform as a temporary resting place. Ling was standing on the edge of the platform, and there was still a slope of more than 600 meters down the mountain wall. The southern end of the Shuangta Mountains moves from high to low, and walks an arc between the earth, as if the long tail of a giant dragon is quietly attached to the earth, making the ground appear in the shape of a valley.
There is no grass growing on the valley to the west of Shuangta Mountain, only dark brown gravel spread out thousands of square kilometers. Among the black gravel, there are lava rivers of different widths flowing through. The magma exudes amazing high temperature, causing the entire valley to continuously rise with white heat, causing the entire valley to appear distorted and deformed in Zero Eye.
But this does not prevent Zero from seeing a town in the northwest direction of the valley. The town is located on top of an irregular gray-white rock, which is the only geographical structure in the valley that is not gravel. The town is built on it, and it is not large in terms of area, with a permanent population of no more than a thousand. However, there is obvious industry in the town, and a dozen high towers are scattered around the town. There are chain machines that rotate to continuously bring up the fiery torrent in the magma river. I don't know where it is used.
"Energy purification, this is the unique industry of the flame eye." Agatha walked to the side of Zero, and a simple sentence showed her knowledge: "This magma field contains very rich energy, the creation of the flame eye At that time, the readers took a fancy to the special geographical environment here. In the beginning, it was just a small drug factory. After ten years of development, the current Eye of Flame came into being. They produced special energy extracted from the magma. The thermal energy battery, whose unit capacity is ten times that of ordinary batteries. Therefore, when it first came out, the thermal energy battery was sought after by many al-Qaeda organizations. But with the emergence of high-energy batteries, the energy produced by nuclear fusion using a small amount of uranium is It is a hundred times that of ordinary batteries, and the radiation in high-energy batteries can be prevented from leaking through strict packaging. Therefore, it is widely used in people's livelihood and industry, and it also causes the thermal energy batteries to be unsalable. In the last ten years, almost no one will buy thermal energy batteries. This also makes the existence of the Eye of Flame gradually unknown."
Zero said sincerely: "Captain Agatha, I admire your profound knowledge."
"If Captain Zero has time to flatter me, why not think about how a nearly closed town will react when it suddenly sees a large number of us." Agatha smiled.
"No, they will only see me alone." Zero retorted: "A wandering mercenary is always lower-key than a fully armed team."
"Then you have to be careful. People who can survive in such a harsh environment, I don't think their character can be called docile." Agatha warned.
Zero nodded, expressing his understanding. So half an hour later, he put on a one-piece cloak, put the giant sniper rifle wrapped in cloth strips on his back, and walked down the mountain on foot.
It is already noon.
Allen yawned and woke up sleepily. He pushed away the naked woman next to him, thought for a while, and then grabbed the woman's plump chest. The woman groaned in her sleep, which undoubtedly gave Allen a signal. So Allen simply turned the woman over, lifted the giant [object], and slammed into the woman's body.
The woman woke up suddenly and let out a scream. The shout came from the "Blaze Bar", but now the town is quiet, and no one cares about a woman's scream.
Due to the special environment of the Eye of Flame, the temperature during the day is extremely high, even in winter it is much warmer than other places, so there are almost no people in the town during the day. The vitality of the town is mainly reflected at night. When the sun goes down and night falls, the eyes of the flames really wake up.
After a day of deep sleep, people have boundless energy. In addition to work, they can only rely on alcohol, women or men to vent their exuberant energy.
Take Camber, for example. He was the owner of the Flame Bar in town, and he slept with almost a different woman every night. Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's several, Alan can't remember how many women he has slept with.
Allen has money and food, so many women are willing to sleep with him. Some men even send their attractive wives to Campbell's prison in exchange for a job opportunity or enough food for several days.
In turbulent times, people living on the line of food and clothing have far higher needs for food than spirituality and morality. A man doesn't mind his wife accompanying other women, and a woman doesn't mind whether her husband is on her body. As long as there is enough remuneration, everything can be sold.
Allen just woke up, full of energy. He kept sprinting and stepping down the black forest until the forest was already full of streams. With a roar, Allen suddenly reached the deepest part of the forest, touched the source of bliss, and suddenly his whole body was fat and trembling. When the woman screamed and grabbed Allen tightly by hands and feet, he who had reached the peak of bliss gradually relaxed.
He withdrew from the woman, and the woman let out another low cry. There is a little pain, but more is a feeling of emptiness.
"****." Allen jumped out of bed with a cry, opened the locker in his room, picked out a few cans of fresh food and two bottles of clean water, and threw them to the ** woman: "Here ,This is what you deserve."
The woman gathered the food happily, and gave Allen a charming smile: "Do you still need tonight, sir?"
Allen looked at his proud pride and said, "Let's see again. But I heard that you have a nice daughter. Maybe she can get more rewards."
The woman smiled all over her face: "Indeed, she is 15 years old, and she will definitely make you very comfortable. Or, let us accompany you at night."
"Deal." Allen snapped his fingers, and the deal was finalized. He changed his clothes, washed up briefly and walked out of the room. There is a dark corridor outside the room. Allen came to the end of the corridor, kicked a wooden door that was concealed, and shouted: "You bastards, get up for me. It's time for work. You only have to I have 10 minutes to eat, and after I finish eating, I will go to work!"
As soon as Allen finished speaking, there was a messy sound in the room. Allen left satisfied. He got himself some slices of bacon from the kitchen and drank the remaining half bottle of red wine. This was his lunch. Alan took his own food to the lobby of the tavern, put it on the bar counter, and started munching.
Just as the last piece of fragrant meat was thrown into his mouth, the door of the tavern was knocked loudly.
"Damn, who is it? We haven't opened yet." He said so verbally, but Alan walked over and opened the door with his hand.
A gust of hot wind immediately poured in outside the door, blowing Alan's hair back and forth. Outside the door stood a traveler, wrapped in a hooded cloak. The traveler was carrying a gun. Although the gun body was wrapped tightly with cloth strips, it was not difficult for Allen to tell from the shape that it was a sniper gun. Because it was too rough and huge, Allen knew it was not an ordinary machine gun at a glance.
But even if it is a sniper rifle, this gun is much bigger than what Allen has seen before, it is simply a rapid-fire gun.
Allen's common sense told him that someone who can carry such a big guy around is definitely not easy!
