Chapter 123 Death Ridge
At dusk, George walked into the ward and saw Zero packing up.
This is the third day after Lanqi's unsucous assassination, and he has basically recovered and is ready to be discharged from the hospital. However, unexpectedly, he will also leave Phoenix tomorrow, then cross Death Ridge, and continue to move towards the Blue-collar Mountains in the north.
George threw a wrinkled cigarette at the same time, and the officer closed the door of the ward with a bang. Otherwise, the taste of inferior nicotine will definitely attract criticism. George doesn't want to be complained by the hospital to the military.
"What, are you leaving?" George lit a cigarette and asked.
With a nod, he stretched out his finger and wiped it directly on the cigarette, and the cigarette was immediately lit.
George was slightly surprised: "So the fire element can still be used like this? Sometimes I really envy you powers. Sometimes it's too fucking convenient.
Zero smiled and said, "Are you here to pay me back for my wine?"
George's face immediately pulled down, and he shook his head and said, "I said, man, you won't be so stingy."
"You're right this time." Ling said with a smile, "So I'm going to buy you a few more drinks before I leave."
"Yes, it's like a man. Don't care so much. Don't you just have a drink and money? George laughed. It's always pleasant to be invited to drink, isn't it?
"What are your plans after that?"
When the two left the ward and walked along the passage to the hospital gate, George asked casually.
Zero replied vaguely, "I'm going to the north, and I should leave tomorrow."
"If you don't wait for Campbell, the fat pig will have to take two or three days to leave?" George said unexpectedly.
"Don't you also say that I don't look like his? In fact, I just protected him by the way and made some extra money.
George grabbed him: "That is to say, you are going to cross the Death Ridge alone with that child?" Listen, buddy, Death Ridge is not a good place to play in the mountains and rivers. It is full of dangerous jungles, mutable beasts and mob settlements. But the real danger is the death flowers that grow out of nuclear waste. They are everywhere, and those who touch them will die. This is also the real origin of the name Death Ridge. What's more, there is a bottomless crack created by the impact of the plate at the exit of Death Ridge, and there is no place to die if you don't pay attention. So I have to say that your approach is very unwise.
Zero laughter but no answer.
Naturally, he also knows that the success rate of the team is much higher than that of individuals to cross the forbidden place of life such as Death Ridge. But now it's up to him to choose. Parkland's killer has appeared and wandered around him. If Zero still follows the caravan leisurely, it is no different from being a live target. What's more, Zero feels that during his stay with Campbell's caravan, his perception of danger has declined a lot.
A life that is too convenient and comfortable will blunt the sharp knife. If you want to keep your sharpness, you have to go back to the wilderness. Use endless dangers to sharpen yourself to keep yourself and even become sharper.
A blunt blade can't pierce the huge thing of Parkland. Only a sharper knife can do it, which is very clear. What's more, he also wants to use Death Ridge for anti-sniping. If he wants to have a pleasant journey in the future, Zero must let the killer stay on Death Ridge forever, which is one of the reasons why he separated from the caravan.
Looking at Zero's expression, George also knew that he could not convince him. The officer no longer talks too much about this. Everyone in the wilderness can choose their own way of life, as long as they can afford it. George was heartbroken for no reason when he thought that Moni's young face would haunt the dangerous jungle.
If Jona is still alive, she will be as old as that child, right?
George thought that the officer at this time looked more sentimental than usual.
People come and go on the street. At this moment when the radiation intensity is gradually decreasing, no one wants to stay in a house that can get sick. At night, the streets will be more crowded, and the bars in the city will be full. This is also the common way of life of people in the new era, like animals day and night.
In the lively street, Zero saw Moni.
The girl with a pull on her head is holding a photo asking every passer-by. In the photo is a young woman who looks somewhat similar to Moni, but she is Moni's mother. This photo was drawn by a special person under the description of Moni using the imaging technology of the information center. Synthetic photos with a similarity of more than 90% cost Moni nearly 20 yuan.
This money is not zero, but earned by the girl taking care of zero and taking time to dance on the street in the evening and evening. Of course, Moni's beauty will always cause some trouble. But the dagger flying between her fingers and the dazzling tricks always make trouble troublesome. In fact, even Zero is full of praise for Moni's talent in using daggers.
Unfortunately, before Moni experienced genetic shock and gave birth to any field of ability, such technology could only be embroidered legs, but it was enough to scare ordinary people.
And these days in Phoenix, Monica is not idle. The girl is actively looking for all the information about her mother through various methods, but now it seems that the effect is not very good.
When Moni lowered her head disappointed again, a warm palm rested on her head. Moni raised her head and saw Zero with a smile between her fingers.
"As long as you don't give up, one day you will succeed!" Zero encouragement.
The disappointed expression on Moni's face swept away. She nodded heavily and took Zero's hand, like a daughter who acted coquettishly to her father. Then she saw George next to her and quickly nodded to the officer.
"Don't bother your father and daughter, Zero, don't forget that you have to buy me a drink at night!"
After reminding Zero, George waved his big hand to say goodbye. The tall figure merged into the crowd and soon disappeared.
Zero patted Moni's little shoulder and said, "Let's go to dinner first. Then go to the commercial street to buy some supplies, and we will leave Phoenix tomorrow.
These days in Phoenix, their food is basically bread and water. It's rare to eat out once. Even if it's not for those precious ingredients, it's enough for Monica to change her taste. So the little regret that she could no longer stay in the city to inquire about her mother also disappeared from the girl's heart.
Looking at Moni's bright and innocent little face, Zero felt that it was worth the occasional luxury. At dusk, I watched Moni jumping in front of me like a happy bird. Zero seems to have a feeling of going back to the old times and taking his daughter to the street.
Unfortunately, there is one less person around. If only Leah was also there. Zero suddenly came up with this idea. When he thought of Leah, Zero felt a slight pain in his heart.
"What's the matter, Zero?" The careful girl soon found the strangeness on Zero's face.
Shaking his head, he smiled and said, "Nothing, it's just that the wound is still a little painful."
He was smiling, but his smile was a little reluctant, which made Moni know that Zero answered the question. But she is a smart girl. Zero doesn't want to say anything, and she doesn't want to ask. So she smiled like an angel and walked to a restaurant on the commercial street holding Zero's hand.
In Moni's heart, even if she can't do anything for zero, it's good to make him smile. For this reason, Moni is willing to show the most beautiful smile for Zero!
The time is six o'clock in the morning, and I opened my eyes.
He walked into the bathroom, and after a moment, he sprinkled water all over his body with light warmth. This is Zero's last bath in Phoenix. In the following days, he couldn't have such a second such enjoyment until he crossed Death Ridge to reach the next base.
For this reason, he is willing to pay another 2 yuan on the bill.
The first-level clean water flows all over your body, with your eyes closed, and you can feel the condition of your body.
In terms of wounds, he has now fully recovered. It can be seen from last night after inviting George to drink, Zero sneaked into the hospital alone to destroy his relevant information, and took the hospital's guards around Phoenix several times without blushing and not beating.
After fighting with the Finly Wolf evolution and escaping from the death of the Red Wolf and Parkland killers, zero's already used up evolution points have also generated as many as six. These six evolutionary points are not going to put them into any ability for the time being, and they even need to be careful to preserve them so that they don't automatically transform into other first-order abilities.
The more the ability of zero is improved, the more you know that the evolutionary points that need to be invested in higher-order abilities will rise in geometric levels. Although many low-level ability combinations can play an effect that is not inferior to high-level capabilities, this is only relative rather than absolute. Zero believes that when the level of ability is far enough, the strength of ability can no longer be compensated by the number.
High-order ability must have an overwhelming number of spikes, but low-level ability.
And Zero also believes that when he leaves Death Ridge alive, he will have more evolution points in exchange for stronger abilities.
When he finished the shower and walked out of the bathroom. Moni has woken up, packed his clothes, and cleverly prepared his tactical suit for Zero. The tactical suit worn before Zero was purchased in Nujiao City, but it has been damaged and can no longer be used after a series of battles. For this reason, Zero bought a new tactical suit for himself while buying supplies last night.
When this camouflage tactical suit was put on Zero, he seemed to turn back into the soldier who had just woken up at the Z7 base. This tactical suit not only fits, but also has the function of hiding and confusing opponents in the jungle. More importantly, the sandwich of the tactical suit is embedded with an alloy ring. The alloy silk ring not only makes this tactical suit more tough and not easy to damage, but also plays a certain impact resistance role. Therefore, it is 20% more expensive than ordinary tactical suits.
guns, ammunition, *, food and water... After carefully checking the supplies in the march backpack, Zero left the hotel with Moni. The faint golden sunlight in the sky is shining. In this beautiful morning in the old era, they are about to enter the forbidden land of life.
Death Ridge!
