Chapter 119 Recuperation
There is an unwritten rule in the wilderness.
When a hunter or mercenary performs an official mission, unless he dies directly during the mission, the official needs to help in case of injury and specific coordinates. This is out of protection measures for outstanding talents, and those who can be officially assigned and carry out tasks will not be mediocre. Such a talent dies one less. In turbulent times, talent is the greatest wealth, and no base or company is willing to sacrifice a talent casually. Unless there is a hostile relationship between the two.
Of course, there is no hostile relationship between Phoenix and Zero, and strictly speaking, Zero belongs to the mission period before returning to the city. What's more, he also fires a distress signal that George personally handed over to him. For whatever reason, Phoenix reinforcements will definitely arrive quickly.
Of course, such rescue is not unconditional.
The rescued mercenary hunters need to unconditionally agree to the rescue party's official mission at least once within a year. As long as you are not dead, no matter where you are, you have to execute it immediately after receiving the request from the rescue party. In turbulent times, there is no free lunch.
Zero naturally knows what it means to launch a signal flare, but compared with life, Zero naturally chose the latter.
When he saw the signal bomb dragging the flame tail straight up into the night sky, Lan Qi had to curse secretly.
When instructing the red wolf to intercept zero and create a sniper opportunity for him, Lanqi has planned to kill zero and send the red wolf to hell at the same time. It's just that he underestimated Zero's keen perception of danger and his sensitive instinct to avoid danger. Therefore, the sniper that Lanqi thought was necessary did not penetrate Zero's heart as he expected and then sent it into the red wolf's head.
It can be said that this sniper Lanqi was only half successful.
With the fall of Zero, it is difficult for Lanqi to shoot another shot 2,000 meters away in the vast night. But the signal gave him a chance and also gave him a choice.
The choice in killing Zero and offending Phoenix.
Even if Lanqi is from Parkland, once there is a direct conflict in the rescue operation in Phoenix, Parkland can hand him over so as not to offend a new military city like Phoenix. If it were in the past, Lanqi would have made an immediate retreat when he saw the signal bomb.
But Zero was his enemy, so after a moment of hesitation, Lanqi chose to shoot another shot.
The muzzle of the vulture was quickly adjusted, and Lanqi locked the zero position again through the sight and the enhanced line of sight. This time, he aimed at the other party's head. Zero was dizzy, and Lanqi's shot was ten or nine sure. However, as soon as he was about to press the trigger, an indescribable sense of danger immediately flowed all over his body.
Snipers in the wilderness have the same intuition about danger as beasts. Zero is the same, and Lanqi is no exception. This time, the bald eagle can't hesitate. There is more than one chance to kill zero, but there must be only one life. Lanqi didn't want to accompany his life for revenge. He quickly picked up his sniper rifle and quickly withdrew from the sniper position.
As soon as he hid after a big stone in the wilderness, Lan Qi found a strange scream passing over the sniper position just now. He lay behind the stone and quickly sprinkled some pale yellow powder. These powders can hide his breath and release a smell similar to dirt. As long as you don't search closely, even a mutagenic beast with a sensitive nose can't separate Lanqi from the big area.
The bald eagle lay on the ground and looked up slightly to the sky. A strange creature was hovering over the sniper position. Looking from afar, this was a cephalotype mute. But Lan Qi has never seen the appearance of the lion's head and eagle wings. After hovering for several times, the muta changed beast flew in the direction of Phoenix.
And after it left, Phoenix's army had found the faint zero.
Zero had a strange dream.
In his dream, he sat alone on the Ferris wheel in the amusement park. Through the glass of the Ferris wheel, Zero saw continuous red clouds in the distant sky, followed by a tongue of fire breaking the clouds and dragging the vast flame tail to the earth. In an instant, the earth became a sea of fire, and countless people turned into coke in a blink of an eye.
Buildings are collapsing, the ground is cracking, people are screaming... The earth is no longer a paradise for survival, it has become a hell of death.
Zero sat helplessly on the Ferris wheel, watched the steel bracket of the Ferris wheel being melted, and then took him to the ground that turned into a sea of fire.
The picture has changed again.
Zero saw the beautiful shadow again. On the brilliant wild land of mountain flowers, she chased the wind like a happy elf. Zero still couldn't see her clearly. When he tried to get close, she suddenly stopped.
Turning around, she faced him.
The blurred face gradually became clear, and she became Leah.
"Zero, help me!"
Lia shouted and changed again with her face, so Hans's evil face appeared in Zero's eyes.
The face of the Han Dynasty, the girl's body, formed a strange and strange picture.
Zero shouted, and the picture in front of him disappeared clean. Then there are all kinds of strange sounds, including roaring voices and instruments working. There is a blurred light and shadow in the eyes, and twisted figures are shaking in the light and shadow. After a slight numbness came from his body, Zero fell into a dizziness again.
But this time, he didn't have any more strange dreams.
When he opened his eyes again, he happened to see the red clouds reflecting the sky in Phoenix in the evening outside the window.
"Zero, are you awake?"
A childish but surprising voice sounded in his ear.
The sound still comes from far away, which seems empty and long. It took a while for Zero to adapt to his body, which had just woken up from a deep sleep. He turned his head and saw Moni.
Monet's head is pressing on her silver hair. The little beast seemed to be in good spirits. When he saw Zero, he shouted happily and was about to collapse on Zero's body. But in mid-air, she was caught by Moni, so Lala could only look at the girl aggrievedly.
"How many days did I sleep?" Zero asked and found that his voice had never been hoarse.
Monnie's eyes turned a little red. She tried to squeeze out a smile on her little face and said, "Not much, it's only two or three days."
"Strictly speaking, 78 hours, lucky boy."
A big figure appeared on the other side of Zero, but it was Officer George. George doesn't look good, and a pair of dark circles on his face indicate that he hasn't had a good rest recently. And the dense beard on his chin made him look a little more haggard.
George casually threw a bill on Zero's chest: "It's good to see that you're not dead, otherwise this bill will be gone. Listen, buddy, you don't even know how lucky you are. When we find you, you are dying. Damn, anyone with an extra hole in his chest should not survive, but you survived. I have to say that this is a miracle!"
Zero smiled, picked up the account with his numb hand and looked at it, and immediately changed color.
The number of "8230" is prominent on the bill. Zero didn't expect that he slept for three days, but used almost all his savings. He couldn't help feeling bitter. Before he got a penny interest from Parkland, he was about to become a negative asset.
Looking at the change in the expression on Zero's face, George couldn't help laughing and grabbed the account. Then knead it into a ball and throw it into the trash can.
Look at him puzzledly.
George pointed to his body and said, "It doesn't matter. All the expenses for saving you have been paid by your body."
Zero's face changed immediately.
George smiled again and said, "Don't worry, it's not a pervert who takes a fancy to your body. Although your body is indeed beautiful, even more beautiful than some women. Well, what I want to say is that those crazy people in the military hospital are very interested in your body data. They said that as long as you cooperate with the examination during the hospitalization, not only will the fee be free, but they will also pay you some extra when you are discharged from the hospital. I said, buddy, you are really lucky.
Zero doesn't think so. He doesn't want his body to attract any attention. But when he fainted, it seemed that some abnormalities in his body had been successfully noticed by doctors in Phoenix and included him as a research subject without authorization. Zero has decided to destroy all relevant data before he leaves.
"I have something else to do. Let's go first." George clapped Zero's body and said, "Just concentrate on recuperating. No one in Phoenix dares to hurt you. I still have this confidence."
With that, George got up and smiled at Moni. Moni was not afraid, but gave him a charming smile. This left George stunned, and then the officer shook his head and left the room.
Although George reassures Zero, how can Zero get into it? Since Parkland has made some moves, it must come one after another. Zero decided to leave the hospital and leave Phoenix as soon as possible. He doesn't like the current passive situation. On the contrary, he wants to kill Parkland's killer in turn. And if you want to do this, you will undoubtedly pull the other party to your home court.
Zero's home court, in the wilderness!
George was on his way back to the army command post.
The situation in Phoenix was not good, and the nest operation finally ended with unfinished work. That day, when Brian was killed, the Fenri wolf who lost command could not organize an effective counterattack, so it was scattered by the Phoenix army.
At the end of the beheading operation, something went wrong. The evolved life of the Fenli wolf that jumped out of nowhere and suddenly killed three members of the beheading team. The remaining three, Sario, are still missing, and Biandu is seriously injured. As for Zero, who deserted halfway, he is now lying in the hospital.
The senior management of Phoenix attaches great importance to this evolved werewolf. Because it is not known that the first person to come into contact with the werewolf is actually zero, Phoenix now focuses its attention on the survivor of Biandu.
Kazuo Watana is now controlled in the army command post, and there is a special person in charge of caring for him. Phoenix hopes to learn about the werewolf through Yifu Biandu, but now it seems that this method does not work, because Biandu Yifu is crazy!
