In the evening, the radiation cloud was illuminated by the fiery sky like a fiery cloud, stretching for thousands of miles, covering the world on the ground with a layer of red halo. The ground radiates the residual heat of the day, and every gravel emits an astonishing heat. At night, however, they become colder than polar ice.
This is the world of the new era. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, and the survival ability of living things is tested all the time.
He used bandages to wrap the arms of the tactical uniform that were twisted by the energy. He didn't want people to see those two arms that were like white jade. With the goose-yellow wildflowers picked from the wilderness, Zero came to the cemetery in Nu Reef City.
Although they are nothing more than ordinary wildflowers, even after these things leave the soil, the rhizomes are still slowly creeping. They tried their best to stretch out their young rhizomes, trying to pierce into Zero's body to absorb blood as nourishment. But every time they touched Zero's rest meter, the rhizomes retracted like an electric shock, and it didn't take long for them to resume their previous actions.
As big as a mutated creature in the deep sea, as small as a mutated plant in the wilderness. In this world, all species, including humans, are desperately evolving to gain the right to survive. Whenever he saw this tenacious wild flower in the wilderness, Zero always felt unexplainable fear. In the turbulent age, will human beings still be the master of all things
This is not necessarily true, is it
The cemetery is as quiet as ghosts, with dozens or even more tombstones lined up on the gray land alone. It is said to be a tombstone, but it is actually a piece of wood that is only half a meter high and a palm wide. Only the name of the deceased is simply engraved on the wooden board, like the luxurious tombstone with photos posted in the old days, which has always been enjoyed only by the nobles.
As for civilians, in an era when resources are so scarce, using a piece of wood is already a luxury.
Leah's body had been cremated, and her ashes were buried in the cemetery in Nu Reef through Master's connections. But there is no name on Leah's tombstone, only the capital letter "L" of Leah's name is engraved symbolically. If Zero couldn't bring her back to life after three years, her full name would only be written on this tombstone.
Putting wild flowers in front of the tomb, this is Zero's second woman to lay flowers in front of her tomb. Zero thought of Lida, the woman who made Zero feel powerless in the face of fate for the first time. Her tragedy, Zero did not want to repeat itself on Leah. Victor gave him a hope, although that hope is very slim, but it is better than despair, isn't it
"Ready to go?"
Victor's voice came from behind, and the doctor got two crosses out of nowhere. One is placed over Leah's grave, and the other belongs to his wife Kaelin. The doctor smiled at Ling: "This will let God bless them."
"Thank you." Zero said sincerely. He also said: "I will leave tomorrow, thank you for taking care of me during this time."
For two months, snacks and drinks were all at Victor's house. In addition, Victor checks Zero's body every day to confirm that his genes have stabilized. This kindness, Ling kept it in his heart.
Victor waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, you also helped me a lot."
He looked at Kailin's tombstone and remained silent. Zero retreated quietly, not disturbing Victor and his wife.
Zero came to the tavern in Fury Reef City, and before he left, he bought a batch of ammunition. Among them is the custom-made warhead for M500, and tonight is the time to receive the goods. The tavern is still full of sensuality, and the area near the dance floor is still the place with the most people. But after two months of wandering here in Nu Reef City, most of the people who go in and out of the tavern have already known Zero.
Although far from being friendly, at least they will nod when they meet. But after Zero left, it didn't take long for them to forget Zero. People in the new era are very forgetful. Today, people may die every day, so people don't have to bear too much sorrow.
Master occupies a corner of the bar, where he is, the surroundings are always relatively quiet. Zero walked over and sat down next to Master. Without further ado, Master pushed over the wine and said, "The whiskey of the old era is something that even the rich can't drink. This is my private treasure. I invite you to drink it tonight as a farewell party."
Zero is also welcome, and he drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing how much he drank, Master had a pained expression on his face. He took a deep puff on his cigar, and seemed to regret giving up this glass of fine wine to Zero. The local snake snapped its fingers, and a moment later someone came over with a travel bag. Master picked up the bag and dropped it in front of Zero.
"500 rounds of custom-made .50 bullets, 600 rounds of sniper bullets, 300 rounds of armor-piercing bullets, and 2,000 rounds of standard bullets in five bases. Comes with a free computer punch and 20 pieces of fragmentation. You click on it." Master pointed Pointing to the bag full of ammunition, he said.
"No, how much is it in total?" Zero asked.
Master laughed, patted Zero on the shoulder and shook his head, "No, these are a little gift from me personally."
Ling Yong said in an indifferent tone: "You and I are not friends yet."
What he meant was obvious, Zero only accepts gifts from friends, like Victor. As for Master, Zero thinks it is better to maintain the nature of a trader.
"Don't say that, buddy." Master threw Ling a cigar and lowered his voice: "Listen, I know you are going to make a big deal. There will be many such deals in the future, at least eight hundred Ten thousand. My God, this is the biggest ambition I've ever heard. But zero, do you really know how to make money? Or, how to maximize profits?"
Zero looked at Master silently, he did not object, expressing that he was willing to listen. During the period of getting to know Zero, Master felt a little bit of Zero's temper, and the local snake then said: "Listen, brother, in this era of shit, the most profitable way is war. Like the Dark Council, their blood cavalry Where do you think they go? The land in the southwest, the Great Xia Kingdom in the East Continent, the Kingdom of the Gods in the West Continent, and even Asmo, which is on an expedition to the polar regions. It is war, and the blood knights are fighting on all sides to grab resources. It’s all about making big money.”
Master drank his booze excitedly: "Of course, of course, we can't compare with these big men. But like you, if you want to find a big chaebol to be unlucky, here I presuppose that you successfully beat Parkland to the ground. Then what ?They'll give you money, that's for sure, but trust me, it's never going to be much. To keep a chaebol running, they won't have that much cash, even in base camp, more money to put in In the operation of various projects and bases. Then what you get may be hundreds of thousands of cash. Of course you can threaten them to hand over the resources in their hands, including weapons, medicines, mining and even bases. But these things , can you turn them into money?"
From the beginning, I knew Master's purpose: "You mean, when I get these things, I can let you handle them?"
Patting Zero's shoulder vigorously, Master nodded and said: "That's it, buddy. Let me be your boss. You can give me the supplies you get, and I will be responsible for turning them into money. Of course, I will charge a fee. But at the same time, I will provide you with some information for free. I don’t think a Parkland will satisfy you. And I have more chaebol information on hand. This is mutual benefit, man, You'll find me an incomparably competent* person."
