Chapter 269 Extinction 1
It was four days later when they returned to Asgard. After a bumpy journey, Zero and others finally returned to the heavenly city of God. After the four went to the military aircraft office of the Hammer of Destruction to report and cancel the holiday, Zero temporarily said goodbye to several people and drove alone to an open space in the western suburbs of the city. There is an abandoned factory building, a small disrepair power station and two working dormitories on this open space.
This was originally one of the many food processing plants in Asgard, owned by businessman Pros. But a few years ago, Pros mortgaged it to Asgard after he was unable to repay a large debt. Because no suitable receiver was found, the factory has been vacant until now. After learning that Ling was looking for the experimental site, at Ben's behest, the factory was leased to zero use at a very low price and added the required instruments and related personnel.
At present, the factory can be put into use after simple transformation. Personnel and equipment were also in place one after another. When zero arrived, the last truck carrying equipment was about to leave. Zero parked his car at the gate of the factory and saw Victor directing the staff to assemble the instrument. The doctor's radiant appearance was very different from the drunkard's face when he first saw him.
"Move the incubator a little, gentlemen, please handle it carefully."
"Daw, why is there no electricity? What about the electrician? Fast power, and all instruments must be tested for the first time!"
Victor opened his throat and shouted in the factory. The contents of the factory have been initially renovated, and training areas, offices, machine rooms, disinfection zones and other working areas have been established. But cables of various colors on the ground can be seen everywhere, and staff should be careful not to trip over them while walking. Although it is messy, it makes people feel busy and angry.
In addition to assisting Victor's technicians, Asgard also specially assigned six-man escorts to the laboratory. They are extracted from the city's security system, but the monthly expenses of guards, technicians and equipment need to be paid by themselves. Therefore, seeing this busy laboratory, Zero has a sense of starting a career, and at the same time, he also understands that the burden on his shoulders has sunk a little.
In this way, he was glad that he had taken time to go to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although Parkland's financial dividend will not remit the first funds at least three months later, everything finally has a good start. However, there are still a lot of things to do in these three months. In addition to paying the fees required for the plan, you should also open a general account for foreign exchange funds.
In addition to developing domestic demand, Asgard also has economic exchanges with other cities in the wilderness. To this end, Asgatri provides banking services. Therefore, the general account is not difficult to handle, and what makes zero headaches is the problem of income. In addition to the rental of the venue, the mortgage of equipment, materials and the salary of personnel in the first quarter, there is not much money left.
Even if Parkland receives the first dividend three months later, it is not enough to support the mid-to-late needs of the plan. Therefore, Zero is very poor and short of money now.
While he quickly analyzed the current situation, Victor finally found his arrival. The doctor shouted his name and brought Zero back to his senses. Victor stepped up and gave him a strong hug.
"I didn't expect that there is such a city in the world. Oh, my God, this place is like a paradise." Victor said excitedly.
While Zero and others left the Angry Reef City for the Blue Ridge Mountains, Zero-way Asgard applied for temporary residency for Victor. Because Ben had already said hello, the application passed quickly, and on the third day, Asgard's personnel came to pick up the doctor and leave. When he arrived at Asgard, the city of the kingdom of God, Victor's shock was no worse than that day.
Zero can understand his feelings. In Asgatri, people are like going back to the old times. The environment that the city strives to operate is not found in other cities. Victor fell in love with it at a glance, but in fact, few people will leave after coming to Asgard, and Victor is no exception. In this regard, Zero said that he could find a way to give Victor the right to permanent residence.
Hearing Zero's words, Victor was very happy and hoped that after settling down, he could move his wife's ashes so that she could rest in this paradise. The doctor's request is insignificant, and naturally there is no reason to refuse. In fact, Zero also considered letting Victor stay in Asgatri for a long time before. In addition to the rebirth plan, Victor can also become a private doctor of the team.
This laboratory can also be retained after the plan is completed. Zero decided to make Victor the director of this laboratory, which can be used to study and manufacture drugs in the future. If Zero can obtain more resources, it can even study and produce genetic agents. Originally, Zero was worried that Victor didn't like to live here. Once the plan was successful, he would leave, but now the problem is solved.
Next, Victor took Ling to briefly visit the transformed laboratory. When he came to the cultivation area, Zero saw that the culture tank had been placed and was disinfected and cleaned. This is the core area of the whole laboratory. After Leah's blood is isolated and released, various genetic information is then combined and output, and will eventually be reborn in the culture tank.
The * technology of the new era has been very advanced. As long as genetic samples are retained, a * body that is no different from the original body can be built. And the biochemical technology of the Yingling Hall and the Dark Parliament can even be capable. * There is no difference in personality, physique and ability, so it is also regarded as another way of immortality.
It's just that this highest-level* technology is costly, so only those at the main brain level are qualified to leave their own genetic backups in case of emergency.
This laboratory naturally can't carry out the highest level of * technology, but only * an ordinary girl like Leia can still do it.
The hand gently stroked the cold culture tank isolation cover, and Zero said in his heart: Leah, you will wake up soon.
"Take your hand off the cover!"
Unexpectedly, a shout sounded behind Zero, and the sound was quite familiar. Zero looked back and saw Eva in work clothes. The dangerous woman bit a ballpoint pen and was holding a folder in her hand. She walked in quickly and clapped Ling's hand and said, "You layman, don't delay our work. If you have nothing to do, please leave."
Eva strongly bombarded Zero and Victor outside the training area. After sweeping the two out of the entrance and exit of the area, she loudly ordered the staff to debug various instruments. That imposing appearance is like the training area is her home court.
"Miss Eva said it was your friend, and I talked to her. Her achievements in biochemical technology are indeed extraordinary, and there are many ideas that I have never thought of. So I invited her to join, she..." Victor looked at Zero and asked.
"She is indeed my friend."
Zero's affirmative answer made Victor nodded at ease, but he didn't see the bitter smile on Zero's face. Eva is indeed his friend, just in the category of zero trouble, and it is the highest level of * annoyance.
When he left the laboratory, Asgard's holographic board had reflected the red glow of the evening. After saying goodbye to Zero and Victor, he drove away. The rebirth plan has been carried out step by step, and all we have to do now is to make money. In the rearview mirror, the laboratory only has a vague shadow in the simulated sunset, but that place is where there is zero hope.
What Zero doesn't know is that this small laboratory is the prototype of the science and technology institute responsible for biochemical research in his future kingdom!
When I lay in my own dormitory **, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Zero lay flat in plain pajamas in a relaxed posture. The so-called relaxation is to let 70% of the body's senses enter a state of rest to make up for the loss caused by long-term tension. This kind of relaxation is a very luxurious thing for Zero. Thinking of the days when he lived in the wilderness, even in a safe base, Zero's body is resting, but his senses are still at work to monitor those sudden dangers.
While resting, he closed his eyes and silently calculated the evolution points he had gained in the past few days. The data flowed like water, and the remaining senses continued to work, and then quickly gave him a number: 51.
51 evolution points are the result of zero that has been accumulated since the battle since the promotion. Among them, killing Gunabel, the sixth-order ability, will bring 13 evolution points!
You should know that Zero killed so many alien creatures under the Cosaks's military base to get 20 evolution points, and the ability to take Salton's life with one shot in the Parkland territory only brought him 4 evolution points, which shows how rich the benefits of killing the enemy are. However, profits are often accompanied by risks. If it is not necessary, Zero doesn't want to do so anymore.
After all, evolution points can be obtained in an almost infinite way. However, there is only one life.
In the mind, evolution points are zero-invested to strengthen their abilities one by one. Each enhancement of the advanced ability requires different evolution points, and it takes 4 evolution points to upgrade from the first level to the second level. And every time you advance, it will directly double, which is not as cheap as improving the basic ability.
51 evolution points seem to be quite a lot, but when Zero's four promotion abilities are all upgraded to the second level, he only has 7 evolution points left. This is also because he has raised "Wind Shooting" to the second level, otherwise there will be fewer evolution points left.
But in any case, the improvement of ability brings direct benefits to zero. For example, the limit of multiple shots has been increased from 3 times to 4 times, and the mental marker has also been expanded from 300 meters to 500 meters. The magnitude of improvement seems to be absent, but in actual combat, no matter how small the improvement is, it often plays a decisive role.
And when Zero raised his promotion ability to the fourth level, he ushered in the evolutionary node mentioned by Valkyrie. At that time, without the help of the debugger, zero genes will also promote high-level occupations and corresponding abilities according to the planned sequence.
Zero's current profession is a popular shooter, and according to the data of the evolutionary tree, when he meets the prerequisites for evolution, he can evolve into the high-level profession of shadow wanderer. Shadow wanderer is based on strengthening the characteristics of the popular shooter and then evolving into a high-level profession with certain space stealth and hiding ability, which is a qualitative leap and zero expectations.
But now, what Zero needs to do is rest. Then he entered the headquarters the next morning to receive the task, get paid and strengthen himself through battle. There is no shortcut to evolution, but enough potential talent and necessary efforts.
Sleep, a way of rest, is already a pronoun of low-level life for capable people. For ordinary people, sleep can make up for the mental and energy consumption of the day. But for those who have the ability, there are many ways to replenish energy. When the energy reaches a certain amount of water on time, the capable person can not sleep for several days. Until the energy level drops, he will restore the body's energy through the low-level means of rest.
But this recovery method is very simple and slow. Even for low-level capable people who sleep for seven hours, the recovered energy is less than 20% of the total energy. For those with high-level abilities, the energy that sleep can recover is lower.
However, for Zero, sleep is a habit, and Zero still feels that he is a human being. Although from another perspective, capable people have been out of the category that human beings should have.
The sleeping time can be long or may be very short. When consciousness is wrapped in darkness, time loses its meaning. But Zero set his biological clock seven hours of sleep time before going to bed, so when the biological clock fell to 0, he opened his eyes and saw the hazy skylight outside the window.
Zero stretched out in **, which was originally an action to help the body wake up. But now, this action is more meaningful than practical for zero. While he woke up, the nerve center has sent a large amount of data to convey to the various nerve endings of the body. After less than 1 second of synchronous coordination, Zero's body has entered the best active state without the assistance of other movements.
It's just that Zero enjoys this action. After all, only ordinary people can enjoy this action.
He jumped out of bed, made a simple groom, and put on a new uniform that had been made. When the standard uniform of the Hammer of Destruction was put on the back, a handsome and straight figure was reflected in the floor mirror. Under the background of this black uniform, the zero in the mirror and the golden light in the right eye are more dazzling.
It's just that Zero didn't like to be too special, so he opened the drawer and put on the blindfold he had prepared for himself early to cover the special pupil.
After doing all this, Zero left the dormitory. His destination is the headquarters office building.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when Linghefeng came to the headquarters office building, the building had just opened. In the mission hall on the first floor, the electronic board began to work and announced tasks on the electronic board one by one to facilitate screening.
Asgard's headquarters office building replaces the common union hall in wilderness cities. Here you can carry out the registration of the adventurer team, receive tasks and complete the delivery work, etc. More than three floors are office areas that ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Asgatri, in addition to soldiers from the military system, the adventurer team registered in the headquarters is also composed of capable people among civilians. However, this part of the ability, regardless of literacy or strength, cannot be compared with the team from the military system, especially the hammer of destruction, which is originally formed in the form of a team, and is a regular guest of the headquarters building.
In the five legions, the soldiers of the Hammer of Destruction have a higher degree of freedom. During non-war periods, soldiers do not need to receive regular training, but can freely receive tasks in the headquarters. Freedom is the privilege of every warrior-level member. The higher the rank, the greater the degree of freedom.
Zero and Feng came to the headquarters early in the morning, naturally to make money from the task. Just because there is no task record, the team's level evaluation is currently the lowest E level, so the tasks that meet the viewing conditions are low-difficult and low-income tasks, which makes the two people lack interest. Just as the two were about to take over all the E-level tasks, an office worker in uniform appeared in front of them.
"Two gentlemen, which one of you is zero?" This is a beautiful woman with long golden hair. Her long hair was tied together to create a dignified hairstyle. And even in the hard uniform field, the ground does not prevent her heroic peaks and upturned buttocks from attracting the hot eyes of male creatures.
When he heard that he was named, he took a step forward and identified himself. The woman's expression did not change, but said lightly, "Please come with me. Officer Cario is waiting for you in the strategy room."
When I heard Cario, my eyes lit up. However, he also wondered how Cario, a recruit instructor, appeared in the headquarters.
Peng was left in the hall, and Zero followed the office girl all the way into the elevator dedicated to the staff of the building. The elevator can accommodate 15 people at the same time, but now there are only two blondes and two blondes. I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, the office girl stands straight in front of Zero. Moreover, she stands relatively close, and her height is not lower than zero. When standing like this, her upturned buttocks always touch Zero's body intentionally or unintentionally.
When the elevator door opened, the brief "harassment" ended temporarily. The girl led Zero to the door of an office, but before leaving, she whispered to Zero, "I'm free in the evening."
No matter how stupid a person is, he can also hear the meaning of this sentence, and of course Zero can understand it. In fact, the uniform of the hammer of destruction on him is already a symbol of status. The warrior class is already at the middle and lower levels of the right class in Asgard. If an ordinary woman can hook up with a man with zero status, she is bound to find a better destination for herself. Especially Zero is still so young, so it fully meets the requirements and image of a woman's husband.
Zero smiled, but did not put this readily available encounter in his heart. Compared with this kind of encounter, Zero believes that Feng is more interested.
He pushed open the oak door of the office and saw Cario standing by the window with his back facing him. Hearing the sound of opening the door, Cario turned around and still said with a smile on his cigar face, "You're here, a little slower than I expected. It seems that the little golden cat doesn't want to let you go."
