Lord of War

Chapter 28 The Star

"Yes, she has to leave. But I will go with him!"

Walking on the amazingly hot road, Leah remembered Zero's words.

They have left the Z7 base and are hiking towards Silvertree City. Originally, Zero didn't have to leave. Leah believes that Zero will get better development at the base. Grandpa Jack is dead, and the Parkland chaebol will definitely send new managers. Now that he is familiar with the situation of the base and all the soldiers are killed in battle, Zero has a great opportunity to replace the position of Zuo Ge and become the new commander-in-chief of the base.

But Zero gave up his great future and accompanied himself into the unpredictable wilderness of life and death.

Lia didn't know where they were going, but when she heard that sentence from Zero, she had decided to hand over her fate to this man. Whether the end is heaven or hell, she will not regret it and have no hesitation.

The end of zero is not heaven, let alone hell, but a settlement called Remte.

Before leaving, he had already looked at the map. Three thousand kilometers away from the base, the settlement named Remte clearly says the word "middle level" on the sign. An intermediate settlement means a relatively complete living facility and a weapon platform that can defend against foreign enemies. At the same time, that means Zero and Leah's first landing point. If there is no accident, Zero will stay there for a while.

The virus infected by Leah is very strange. She thinks about it and only thinks about one possibility. The source of the virus should come from Hans, which is an abnormality that Leah has been exposed to in the past ten days. It's just that Zero doesn't understand that he has also been in contact with Hans, and even to a much more "intimate" than Leah. But why did she have nothing to do, but Leah felt his virus.

It can be understood that this is not enough. The Z7 base has neither equipment nor professional personnel to test and treat viral infections. As an intermediate settlement, Remmett may have such resources. At least, they should have a laboratory that can detect viruses. Zero decided to cure Leah in any case, which was not only due to the commission of old Jack on his deathbed, but also because Zero did not want Rita's misfortune to happen again in front of him.

After taking away the necessary equipment, dry food and clean water. Ling and Leah walked on the road. They set off at dawn and hoped that they could get to Silvertree City before dusk.

Zero is no stranger to Silver Tree City. Right there, zero metamorphosis turns into a first-order power and defense enhancement ability, and gets an additional evolution point. After the recent battle with Hans, zero agility enhancement has reached the second level, and two additional evolution points have been generated. Because there is no medicine, the two evolutionary points still exist quietly in the zero body, and have not naturally metamorphed into other new abilities.

At present, with first-order strength and defense enhancement, the zero of second-order agile enhancement has not been paid attention to Silvertree City. As long as you don't meet a monster like a butcher, Zero can ensure Leah's safety in Silvertree City.

They will fix it there and then rush to Remte as soon as possible.

The journey is monotonous and boring, and Ling is not good at words, and Leah also knows that instead of wasting her strength on meaningless gossip, it is better to use them on the way. So along the way, they rarely talked and only took two breaks.

When walking along the road through the canyon, Zero unexpectedly heard the sound of the car engine. When he looked back, a modified green car had already hit them. Zero could see the stunned expression of the young driver in the car, which made him judge that the driver did not mean it. So he just threw Leah down and rolled away. Instead of safety, the car was rewarded with a shuttle of bullets.

After the thrilling encounter, the car stopped diagonally on the shoulder of the road on the mountain wall of the canyon. The door opened and the young driver asked about them. Zero pulled up Leah and walked towards the car.

"Are you going to Remter?" After saying that the two of them were not injured, Zero asked.

This is the marginal area of the central continent, and the nearest settlement is Remte. Zero does not think that the car has enough fuel to drive to a farther base, so the probability of these people going to Remter is more than 90%.

As the driver nodded, Zero knew that he had guessed correctly. He took out his wallet and said to the driver, "Please give us a ride. I can pay for it."

20 coins were poured out of his wallet, and from the driver's eyes, Zero knew that he was moved.

But at this time, someone in the car objected. He was a black man.

"We don't match strangers of unknown origin." The black man shook his head.

Zero frowned. If it's just him, he doesn't mind walking and enjoying the scenery along the road, although there is really no scenery in the wilderness. It's just that he also has a Leah with him. If there is a car to travel, the journey will be much happier.

"Don't do this, Gian. It's not easy for the two of them, especially this lady. Don't you have any sympathy? The young driver complained and smiled frequently at Lia. It can be seen that this young man has a crush on Leah.

The black man hummed and said, "These days, sympathy is worth a few dollars. How do you know if they will be bad for us? I just want to get to Remte safely, but I don't want to make any mistakes halfway.

The driver looked at the other passengers in the car, who seemed to have the same idea as the black Gian. Everyone was silent, and the driver had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and said, "Sorry, man. I'm afraid you have to walk."

Zero glanced at him lightly and took back his wallet.

But he did not intend to leave, but rushed forward. Ling grabbed the black man's neck with one hand, and then lifted him up hard, so that the black man's head went straight to the top of the frame of the car door. The black man roared and was about to fight back, but the barrel facing his eyebrows made the black man's anger disappear without a trace.

The car immediately screamed everywhere, and several men stood up, but looked at the M500 left wheel, which could be called the murder weapon in Zero's hand, but no one dared to come forward to stop it.

"Hey hey, don't get excited, buddy. Maybe we can discuss this matter. The driver waved his hands repeatedly and said anxiously.

said in a cold voice, "It's not negotiable. Take us for a ride. Or give me the car."

In turbulent times, if words cannot be communicated, violence may be another way to solve things.

The black man sweated coldly behind his head.

The guy who dares to take a woman to wander in the wilderness is either a weak head or a fierce man with extraordinary strength. Looking at Zero, he doesn't look like a person with a problem with his head. And the strength of an adult man who can lift an 80kg weight with one hand is definitely not what a slender body like Zero can have. In other words, zero belongs to the latter.

Gian suddenly realized that he might have provoked a evil star.
