Chapter 15 Debt
In the open space in the middle of the work area, old Jack raised his hand and gestured. At that time, the talking crowd gradually quieted down.
Old Jack cleared his throat and pointed to Hans and said, "Today, I want to tell you some unfortunate news. Just last night, Hans, the bitch, invaded the poor girl!"
Although everyone has vaguely guessed what happened, the truth still caused a lot of noise when it came from Old Jack's mouth. Many men scolded Hans, but they didn't know whether it was out of sympathy for Li Da or anger that Hans took the lead.
Zero also grasped his fist, and Li Da's misfortune can be said to be indirectly caused by him. If he didn't push Rita out of the door last night, it might be another end.
But it's a fore. Even zero can't change Li Da's upcoming fate.
After old Jack waved his hand again and calmed everyone down, he angrily pointed to Hans and said, "This bitch ignored the rules set by my old Jack. How can you punish him?"
After a short silence, I don't know who shouted "throw into the wilderness to feed the wolf" first, followed by the voice of approval.
Hans, who was kneeling on the scene, swept over these people with resentful eyes. He was like a fierce dog that wanted to eat people, opening his mouth and roaring deeply. Finally, his eyes fell on old Jack.
Old Jack looked at him without mercy, as if looking at a corpse wolf in the wilderness: "Do you hear me? You broke the rules first. I won't kill you, but I will make you more uncomfortable than death.
"I'm going to kill you! And you, one day, I will come back and kill you all!"
Hans roared like crazy and tried to bite old Jack. But he was kicked to the ground by Zuo Ge next to him and gave the mad dog a few times with the butt of a gun, which made his head bleeding. Hans could only kick the ground in vain.
Old Jack waved his hand and Zuo Ge called two soldiers. They set up Hans and escorted him out of the work area. Hans's fate is foreseeable that he will be thrown out of the wilderness by the base, and this person's record will be announced through the computer network inside the Parkland chaebol. Hans will never be able to enter the branches and bases opened by the Parkland chaebol.
While Hans was taken away, he still cursed the people at the base vaguely. Naturally, many men gave him two punches when he passed by, but the soldiers did not stop him. For those who break the rules, they will never receive forgiveness and mercy.
After Hans left, there was only one Rita left on the court. Old Jack looked at her and sighed, "Lita, the most beautiful woman in our base bar. According to the regulations, this poor woman should have received a lot of compensation to heal the damage caused to her. But..."
Old Jack stopped talking, as if the next words made it difficult for him to speak. Seeing that Old Jack, who was usually decisive, hesitated, everyone knew that there would never be anything good next. Sure enough, old Jack said something that shocked everyone.
"However, it's unfortunate. Hans's bitch didn't know where she was infected with the virus. Lita, who had sex with him, detected a third-level virus alarm signal on her.
The noise sounded again.
For ubiquitous viruses, it is strictly divided by integrating the standards of major companies around the world. Like the danger of monsters and the safety of food, the harm of the virus to the human body is also divided into ten levels. Viral infection above level 3 not only shows that the infected person is bound to die, but also the virus infected by the body is infectious, so it is already within the scope of major hazards.
There are usually only two ways for people infected with the virus above level 3. First, he was shot on the spot and completely burned the body of the infected with high-temperature flames; the second is isolation and rescue, but the Z7 base does not have the conditions and technology to cure the third-level virus infected people. As for sending it to Parkland headquarters for rescue, neither the base nor Rita have that qualification.
Parkland chaebols can't spend a lot of money and drugs to cure a barmaid on the edge base.
Old Jack's heavy eyes fell on Lida. He sighed, "Son, I hope you can understand my current mood. If possible, I definitely don't want to abandon you. But now, for the safety of others in the base, I can only... Please leave the base!"
Leaving the base means that you will face the infinitely dangerous wilderness alone. With a third-level virus, Rita will not be taken in by any base or company, which is no different from death.
Lita's body shook gently, but she was strong and did not fall down. She nodded gently, solemnly and full of tears.
Old Jack sighed again and turned around and waved his hand. Zuo Ge went up, shook his head, and took Li Da's hand towards the exit of the base.
The crowd is automatically separated from both sides and gives way to a channel.
However, at that passage, Zero straightened his body. When Li Da saw him, her body shook slightly.
Zuo Ge took her to Zero's side.
Zero looked at the woman and almost squeezed a few words out of his mouth and said, "I owe you, I will pay it back!"
Lita smiled.
She suddenly hit Zuo Ge, pulled out the pistol around his waist, and then pointed to zero.
Everyone's faces changed greatly, except for zero.
Zero did not move, standing on the spot like a stone statue, silently looking at the black muzzle pointing at him.
"You're wrong, zero." Rita smiled sadly: "Some debts can't be paid off, because I want you to owe me forever!"
The muzzle of the gun turns and points to his temple.
Zero finally bent his color and pricked his body forward.
Board machine buckle.
He is still a line late.
Just as he was about to catch Li Da's pistol, the poor woman shot herself. Rita's head swayed to one side, and the kinetic energy of the bullet took her legs off the ground and fell to the side.
Her body fell lightly on a pair of palms.
That was Zuo Ge's palm. He took Li Da's body from behind to prevent her from touching the earthly dirt again.
Zero's hands stretched out in mid-air, and he didn't catch anything. After a long time, he withdrew his hand and whispered to Zuo Ge, "Thank you."
Zuo Ge nodded and shook his head again, with a complicated expression.
Rida died, her body was burned, and the remaining ashes were put into a box and buried in the public cemetery behind the living area of the base. A not-beautiful tombstone witnessed the existence of this beautiful woman. In the photo on the tombstone, Rita smiled lightly.
A bunch of goose-yellow flowers was placed in front of Li Da's tomb, stood up, and then bowed three times to the tombstone. This bouquet of flowers was collected by him after spending a day, under strong ultraviolet rays, almost walking through the wasteland nearly 100 kilometers outside the base and shooting several corpse wolves. This represents a little bit of zero, even if this little bit can no longer be received by Elita.
He looked at the woman in the photo and gently read the name of "Lida" back and forth three times. Zero knows that she will never forget this woman in her life, and she will occupy a corner of Zero's heart. No matter how small the position is, it will last forever.
As Li Da said, this is his debt to her. A debt that will never be repaid.
In the following days, the base returned to calm. In addition to following Leah every day, he also got two hours of practice time. During these two hours, Zero has been familiar with his ability in the soldier training ground of the base. The first-order power enhancement can make Zero One punch hit 700 pounds of force, and the fierce kick is as high as 3,000 pounds, which means that Zero can easily kick and bend a steel plate and distinguish him from ordinary people.
As for the first-order defense enhancement, Zero only did a simple test. He stabbed his thigh with his dagger, but at the moment when the dagger entered the body, the muscles of his thigh naturally rebounded, so that the dagger finally entered the body less than 3 centimeters. And zero power is enough to plunge the dagger into the human body.
Zero even wanted to shoot himself with a gun, but finally gave up this crazy idea.
And these data were naturally collected secretly by him, but he did not dare to carry them openly in front of the two.
During this period, old Jack returned to Parkland headquarters for a routine report, and he ordered 50 M500 special bullets by the way. With a first-order power-enhanced physique, Zero can confidently control the fierce back seat of this pair of large-caliber left wheels.
Time passed day by day, spring went and autumn came, and two years passed in a blink of an eye.
It's another spring.
For the old times, spring symbolized the awakening of everything and was a season of good wishes. In the turbulent new era, spring has the same symbol, but the awakening thing is not so beautiful for human beings.
Those mutatic creatures that fall asleep because of winter will make them more violent after waking up in spring.
Near the Z7 base, the most creatures are corpse wolves. This carcass-eating animal mutates due to infection with corpses or other viruses. Their body shape is much larger than the wild wolves of the old era. After several generations of genetic inheritance and transformation, they already belong to the third generation of corpse wolves, and the adult male wolf weighs up to 40 kilograms.
They have become stronger and more resistant to radiation. This is quite an ironic fact that in turbulent times, beasts are far more suitable for changes in the surface environment than humans.
It's spring now. The dormant wolf wakes up in a deep sleep, and they are looking for food all over the mountains. In the past records of the base, when corpse wolves can't find enough food, they often attack human settlements, causing a lot of trouble.
Therefore, this morning, Zero appeared on the hill one kilometer away from the base and began the third hunting of corpse wolves. This is the latest task of the base, and every ten corpse wolves are worth one yuan. Although it is not much, Zero believes in the principle of gathering sand into a tower.
