"This should be the final battleground."
In the evening, Sauron and his party appeared in the gold swallowing worm's cave. Kabu followed Sauron along the trail to this place. On the top of the cave, they found fragments of *, enough to blow the strongest butcher among the third-level monsters to pieces. But judging from the traces in the cave, the disorderly ones seem to be able to move.
If one wanted to survive such a strong explosion, one would need at least four levels of defense enhancement to be able to do so. However, judging from the previous battle scene, the body of the Discord is not that strong, zero bullets can easily penetrate its body, and the power of ten or so guns exploding at the same time is naturally not to mention.
But the more this is the case, the more it shows that the disorder has unknown abilities, and the more it shows its value.
Below the cave, Kaboo couldn't find any trace of the target's continued movement, except Zero. That's why he judged that this place was the final battlefield. Undoubtedly, the target was eliminated here. But what is strange is that the target seems to have been destroyed at the molecular level, because there was no complete body of the target at the scene, except for the bloody mud.
Judging from the previous battles, Zero did not carry any lethal weapons that could cause destruction at the molecular level. So, how Zero kills Disorder. This has become a mystery.
Moreover, the meat sacs and solidified body fluids left by the swallowing gold worms on the spot made the environment more complicated. Kabu could no longer analyze more information from here, so he had to give up.
"Third party interference?"
On the way back to the base, Sauron only thought of this possibility. It's just that there were no traces of fighting at the scene, and Sauron reckoned that only people with abilities above the sixth level could make the target die without resistance. He didn't know that what killed Hans was just a new life form evolved from the gold swallowing bug.
A large number of specimens from Hans were obtained from Sauron in the cave of the swallowing worm, but after these things returned to the base, after evaluation by biochemical experts, the answer they got was still unusable. Sauron was furious. He had worked hard all day, but in the end it was wasted.
However, there is no one who can enter the blood cavalry system. Soon, Sauron switched to another method. He started with the people killed by Hans and ordered his subordinates to dig up the corpses from the base cemetery and extract the DNA and other genetic information from the corpses, hoping to find relevant information about the target.
Because the corpse had been dead for too long, the genetic information that could be extracted was extremely scarce. And it has to be excluded, which is a huge workload. After spending three days, the result finally came out. But what shocked Sauron was that the target information still failed.
Sauron was like an angry bull, the breath of fire on his body was so strong that it was about to explode. He found Jieto and asked him in a deep voice, "Is that the only dead people?"
"Yes, sir. Almost all the people who stayed in the base were killed..." Jietoweiwei said.
"Wait." Sauron suddenly interrupted him: "You just said almost, in other words, someone is not dead?"
"Yes, yes..." Jieto said nervously: "It's Leah, the granddaughter of Old Jack, the former head of the base. That poor girl is infected with the virus. We want to exile her outside the base. We don't want Zero to leave with her." .”
Sauron grabbed Jieto violently and roared: "Why didn't you report this before? And that girl, what kind of virus is infected?"
Jieto was almost crying, trembling all over his body, and said out of tune: "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know she was so important. We don't know what virus she contracted with Leia. She was healthy before, until After that massacre, we suddenly got infected with the virus, and we... ”
"Shut up and tell me. Where are they going?" Sauron yelled, his heart pounding. The girl Leah was infected with the virus after the massacre. It is possible that it was not a virus, but the blood of the target entered her body and caused mutations.
Sauron could remember clearly that Zero shot the target in the head in the tavern, but the blood of the disorderly people splashed the girl all over. There is no more direct contact than this, and the woman named Leah must be the blood carrier of the disorder.
Sauron wanted to slap himself. Before that, all his attention was focused on tracking the traces of the target, but he ignored such a crucial person. Now he only hoped that the timid and fearful miner in front of him could provide himself with a clear message.
"I don't know, sir." Jieto said with a sad face: "But Zero said he was going to cure Leah, so they should go to the big city or the base."
"There are eight hundred bases or cities on the Central Continent. Do you want me to find them one by one?" Sauron yelled, and then asked, "How long have they been away?"
"Leaving just the day before you arrived."
Sauron immediately called Kabu up, and the tracking expert asked Jieto a series of professional questions. This includes the equipment, food, etc. that the two carried when they left. Finally, Kaboo found a map and tapped a certain position on the map vigorously with his hand.
It was a settlement more than 3,000 kilometers away from the Z7 base, called Remut.
"They should go there, at least they will stay in the inhabited area. Judging from the resources they carried when they left and the lack of means of transportation, it is impossible for them to go further." Kabu said affirmatively.
"Then let's go now!" Sauron said loudly, punching the table.
So at noon that day, Jieto and a group of miners respectfully bid farewell to Sauron's convoy. The three cars drove east along the damaged road.
At the same time that Sauron left the base, the green pickup truck that Zero was in finally came to the edge of a city. Looking down from where the highway is, a large city sits at the foot of the mountain. Seen from a distance, the strictly regulated city looks like a big chessboard, with buildings of different heights standing in the city. Just looking through the telescope, most of these buildings are in a state of damage.
The city is even surrounded by a moat, but the river bed has long since dried up and has no water supply effect at all.
But in the eastern part of the city, there is an area that is clearly divided. The barbed wire fences, sentry towers, and fully armed soldiers surrounding the entire area indicate that it is not a ruin, but a heavily guarded residence.
There is even a billboard on one of the tallest buildings in the area that reads "Welcome to Remut" in English.
Looking at this sign, Zero knew that their journey was coming to an end for the time being.
