In the turbulent age, all respect and appreciation are nonsense, and only strength is the cornerstone of everything.
If Zero's license issued by the Parkland chaebol hadn't been informed to the union by the checkpoint officer before they entered the base, if it wasn't for Theon's interest in this mercenary and calling up his mission records, if it wasn't for Zero ever Take out a Butcher alone in Silverwood City. Then, Theon will not come to the temporary station, and similarly, he will not open up promotion tasks that only mercenaries above Tier 3 can receive.
And all of this is inseparable from it, strength!
Without strength, you can only live like a dog in the wilderness. Only with enough strength can you gain respect and other resources.
Butchers belonged to level three dangerous monsters, and mercenaries or hunters below level three could upgrade their license by at least one level by killing a butcher. It's just that Zero didn't have any licenses at that time, so even if he killed the butcher, he could only get a preliminary approval. Of course, there is also an element of suspicion in Parkland's union about Zero's record. Otherwise, Zero is at least able to obtain a first-order license.
Theon naturally wouldn't trust Zero unreservedly, but as long as Zero's record was 70% reliable, then he was qualified to perform this task. Of course, Theon had other backup plans. After all, this is one of the important tasks related to Remut's expansion plan, and it is impossible for the vice chairman to entrust a mercenary to complete it alone.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, come to the trade union hall to find me. I will give you a detailed introduction to some details of this mission, and introduce some companions to you." Theon said to Zero, and added: "As for the safety of the station You can rest assured, I guarantee that the same thing will not happen. Believe me, I still have this ability."
So the vice-chairman of the union left, while Zero and Lia returned to the tent. When Teddy brought over some bread, Zero looked at his swollen left eye and said, "Thank you for taking care of Leah when I was away."
"Don't say that, buddy. People in the wilderness know that only by taking care of each other can they live longer. Besides, we owe you a huge favor." Teddy rubbed his head and said awkwardly: "But we also Can't be of much help if you don't get there in time..."
"Let's not talk about that, you guys should have something to eat first. We will also go to the business district in the afternoon to find out if there is any work to do." Teddy pointed at the bread and said, then exited the tent.
There are two moldy breads on the plate. The food has passed the shelf life, but the radiation is very little. And people in this era, especially those who grew up in a harsh environment, their stomachs are not so weak that they cannot eat expired food.
Zero broke out half of the bread and sent it to his mouth. Then she pushed the rest to Liya, who shook her head and said, "I'll just eat half of it. You can eat the rest. You have to go on missions, so what if you don't have the energy."
"It's okay, I'm different from you. The energy of half a loaf of bread is enough to maintain the energy I need for three days of activities." Zero refused. In his opinion, Leah needed food more.
Next to it, Lala called in a low voice, reminding Zero not to forget it.
Ling picked up Lala and said, "You and I go on a mission together. There is nothing else in the ruins, but there are a lot of broken copper and iron."
When Lala heard it, her eyes lit up, and she flapped her pair of ears and wings excitedly, flying around Zero and Liya twice.
"Zero, why did you accompany me to leave Z7?" Liya finally couldn't help asking: "You should stay. With your ability, the Parkland chaebol will definitely reuse you. Even, you may be recruited to the head office as a Important position... ”
A hand was placed on Leah's head, forcing her to stop. Lily looked at Zero, who had a rare smile on his face: "Because I want to be a person, not a dog. No matter how high the position is, I'm just a dog!"
Liya trembled slightly, and then said: "But you have helped me so much, but I have nothing to repay you... No, maybe..."
Zero looked at her suspiciously, but Liya suddenly fell into his arms. The girl took Zero's hand greenly and pressed it to her chest. Leah shyly said: "If you want, I can give it to you. Although, I probably can't make you as comfortable as those women. But I promise, this body has never been touched by other men."
Belly flames rose from the lower abdomen, and Liya's cherry-like face was far more alluring than her naked body. Zero felt the fullness and amazing elasticity under the palm.
Leah sat on Zero's body and immediately felt his male-specific changes. With a groan, she felt hot all over, but she still stretched out her hand to take off the robe on her body.
But Zero's hand made her stop.
Zero's eyes were clear, he picked up Lia and let her lie on the ground in a comfortable position.
"If this is a reward, let's talk about it when I come back. Before the mission, intense exercise is not suitable." Zero said.
He is not a Puritan who lives an ascetic life, so he doesn't have to make trouble with himself. Leah is a beautiful girl, she is young and healthy, and that touching body is what many men dream of, and Zero is no exception. But he is more rational, Zero knows that after the body is extremely happy, it will inevitably make the nerve response slower than usual. There is nothing wrong with such a state in normal times, but considering the tasks in the afternoon, Zero decided to maintain the best state.
Of course, after the task is completed, and Liya is voluntary, he doesn't mind picking this sweet fruit.
Leah nodded shyly but resignedly.
In the turbulent age, in the face of harsh environments and ubiquitous dangers, men have highlighted incomparable importance in terms of physical fitness and resilience. The status of women decreased accordingly, even falling to the level of the Middle Ages. For men, they are more objects for going to bed and procreating offspring, nothing more.
Women in this era, even in their teens, can sell their immature bodies for food and clothing. And Leah was able to remain a virgin until the age of eighteen, that was the credit of old Jack.
But now that old Jack is dead, if it weren't for Zero, Leah might not be finished. They will even be sold to nobles as slaves because of their good looks. That inhuman life will be the nightmare of all women. So now she can have a small but independent free space, which is already a happy thing for her.
She doesn't mind dedicating herself to Zero, no matter from which aspect, Zero is her best choice now. And more importantly, Leah can see that Zero is not just a sex tool and breeding object for her, but has respect and imperceptible love for her.
These two points alone have given Leah enough reasons to open her body and mind to zero. Now, like an obedient little wife, she obediently ate the food under Zero's orders, and then fell asleep on the ground.
After Lia's even breathing came out of her nose, Ling called Lala and quietly exited the tent. He left the station and walked towards the administrative area. There is no need to worry about Leah's safety for the time being. If Theon's guarantee is invalid, then Zero will use ten times or even a hundred times the means to seek justice from the vice chairman of the trade union.
But now, he chose to trust.
