Chapter 292 Dead Earth 2

The night wind is very strong and cold. The iron sheet of the window of a small building not far away was blown loudly, becoming another sound besides the wind this night.

Zero and Agatha did not speak, but the silence did not last long. After a while, Agatha's voice came into Zero's ears with the sound of the wind again.

"Captain Zero, do you have a dream?"

Ling was slightly stunned and looked at Agatha in surprise.

Dream, what a beautiful word. However, dreams belong to the old era. At that time, although resources had begun to be tight, the economy was not so sluggish, and the unemployment rate was high in many countries. But in general, the world is still beautiful. At least there is no ubiquitous radiation, and there are no mutatic creatures competing with human beings for living space. Although there are wars, wars are limited and only occur in the civil strife of some countries, without involving the whole continent or even the whole world.

In the old days, it was a dream that all mankind could not return. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and there will be no strong radiation in the rain. Snowflakes are romantic. Judging from now, the old era is like a fairy tale that exists in everyone's heart.

Dream is a word that people often talk about in the old days. At that time, no matter how hard life was, they would always have their own dreams. As long as you have a dream, no matter how hard your life is, it can be colorful.

And in the new era, life is gray for most people. How can people who struggle with life and death every day have dreams?

For these warriors, they are certainly better off than ordinary people. But their mortality rate is not lower than that of ordinary people, but may be higher. Ordinary people can live as long as they have food, and soldiers have no idea whether they can live today. Therefore, for them, dreams are even more distant, and no one will even think of them.

I didn't expect that Agatha would ask such a question. Perhaps women's nerves are always thinner than men's. Like Feng, Zero dares to bet that dreams will never be included in what he wants.

"It's ridiculous." Agatha bent her legs and buried her face between her legs: "People like us should not have dreamed..."

"I think people who still have dreams are much more respectable than butchers who only know how to kill." He asked faintly, "What is Captain Agatha's dream?"

Agasha looked at the endless night sky, and her eyes became a little far-reaching: "My dream is to marry myself one day, own a house, plant some flowers, and have one or two children..."

As she spoke, she laughed herself: "It's very ordinary, a dream with no ambition."

"Dreams are not ordinary or noble." Zero shakes his head and denies it.

Agatha smiled and said, "Although Captain Zero is usually very indifferent, he can't see that he is a very gentle person. So Captain Zero, do you have a dream?

Zero also looked up at the sky, but somehow his breath became colder and colder. In the end, it was even mixed with a killing machine. The cold wind did not make Agatha feel cold, but at this time she shuddered at Zero's cold breath. At this time, Zero's voice sounded, and his voice was like a roaring cold wind, with some strange roar in the hollow.

"Yes, my dream is to destroy the world!"

Agasha's breath suddenly stopped, because she felt that Zero was not a joke.

"It's night. Captain Agatha, go to rest. You have to go tomorrow." Zero's cold murder disappeared, as if it were Agatha's illusion.

Maybe because of the scattered murder, Agatha didn't say anything more and nodded and left. After Agatha left, Ling looked at the sky and said slowly, "Only by completely destroying this shit world can you realize your dream..."

The sound gradually dissipated in the night wind. Perhaps no one will understand the dream of zero.

And zero, there is no need for others to understand!

The wilderness is very quiet, and the noon of the day is the time of the day with the strongest radiation. No one or other creatures appeared at this time, and the rising heat of the earth distorted the scene and looked so unreal.

Only hot wind occasionally passes on the roads along the coastline. In the bursts of heat wave, even the most vigorous mutant grass on both sides of the highway lowered its body and looked listless. Although it is only spring, the temperature is as high as midsummer, and in real summer, the temperature during the day can reach up to 60 degrees!

A male corpse wanders on the highway, wearing a dirty suit, a loose gray-white shirt on its thin body, and a loose tie around its neck, as if maintaining its dignity.

There was a piece of skin on the face of the living corpse, revealing a white skull. Occasionally, a maggot crawls out of its head, and the living body will grope to catch it with its hand, then send it to its mouth, chew it with its black and yellow fangs, turn the worm into meat mud, and then swallow it. But that's all the food for the living corpse, and no other food can be found.

The living corpse walked numbly across the highway. In the distance is an endless wilderness, and occasionally a dark shadow can be seen, which is a silhouette of the ruins of a city. Several towering but crooked electric towers are the only decoration. There may be no humans there, but there may be mutan beasts. For living corpses, mutayi beasts can also be food in the absence of humans.

It walked to the other side of the road, and when it reached the middle of the road, there was a whistling sound in its ears.

That's not a natural voice, it's an idea in the mind of a living corpse, that's all. With its intelligence, it is impossible to understand the special sound made by the power unit of the car engine during operation. But this did not prevent the living corpse from turning around to observe, but it moved and there was a gunshot in the distance.

The whole body of the living body was shocked, and a blood line bounced up on its head. It fell to the ground heavily and a bullet hole appeared in the middle of its eyebrows. Then the still round eyes reflected the bottom plate of a car that roared past. After driving through another car like this, a heavy tire pressed heavily on its head, completely crushing the head of the living corpse to pieces!

The three off-road vehicles were followed by five light motorcycles, each with two riders on the motorcycle, and a total of ten soldiers became the escort of the convoy. It's just that no one on the three off-road vehicles needs the protection of any soldiers. The black tight tactical suit shows that they are not only soldiers, but also elite soldiers.

Zero is sitting on one of the off-road vehicles, wearing goggles. Although the very strong skylight will not cause any harm to ordinary people, too strong light will still affect perception, at least the judgment of vision. Therefore, both Zero and other people wear Asgard's standard goggles on their faces.

A flat intelligent brain in hand is showing a topographic map. Zero fingers cross the screen, and the topographic map is constantly changing. The lens of the goggle reflects the topographic map in the brain. It can be seen that it is the environment near the coastline highway, in which there are some shining red dots, which are obviously some marks. These marks represent all the settlements or bases they have traveled through in the past three days, and more than 30 bases, large and small, have been empty.

Yes, there is no death, no body, not just one person.

But the people in these bases are also not as simple as moving elsewhere, because zero found traces of fighting in these bases, which shows that there have been violent clashes in the bases. But except for the blood stains, there is no corpse base left for Zero and others with only strangeness and doubt.

These bases will be found because Agatha follows the energy traces left by the creator Gulad all the way. Agatha's ability is mainly embarrassment, and another ability "energy perception" is also a very remarkable reconnaissance method. In addition to distinguishing the nature and strength of energy, it can also track the traces left by them. Because of this, zero-class talents can find such bases one after another.

There is no doubt that these bases have been visited by creators. But where the people in the base went is an unsolved mystery.

And Agatha's description of the energy left by the creator makes everyone feel heavy.

"It is a kind of energy with no ups and downs and constant almost terrible. If I have to describe it, then I would say that it is a soulless energy. That's what Agatha described.

You should know that no creature's energy will be constant. Even if there is only an instinctive living corpse, the energy on the living corpse will fluctuate during the two areas of eating and non-eating areas, not to mention that after entering the wartime state, the energy fluctuation will be more obvious due to different combat conditions.

But Agatha recalled that until he was bombarded by zero, the creator's energy was still the same, as accurate as a machine. Biological weapons are often described by people as machines, but since the word biological is put on, some biological instincts are retained. For example, when you are afraid, you will retreat, and when you are angry, your combat effectiveness will increase slightly, etc.

And the creator gives Agatha a feeling like a machine in a biological cloak. It has no soul, no instinct, only a series of procedures loyal to orders!

So, how did the creator Gulad and the other three companions come from? They are called creators, and who created them? All the answers point to what Gulad called the "Queen" before his death.

The final problem left for Zero and others is also their task on this trip. That is, where is the queen now?

It can be speculated that as long as you follow the energy traces left by the creator, you can finally find the location of the queen and the living corpse kingdom. But the problem is that the creator's energy traces are weakening.

Energy cannot be permanently retained, and they will gradually dissipate under the influence of the external environment. In fact, Agatha has been able to track for three whole days, and the energy characteristics of the creator have surprised Agatha, a perceptual ability. The creator is a very special biological weapon. It has no combat effectiveness at all, but it can produce different types of living corpse weapons. In addition, it also has the ability to store energy for a long time, just like a biological energy battery.

Because of this characteristic, the energy traces left in the wilderness can be traced by Agatha's perception, otherwise it would have dissipated in the air long ago.

But even so, the traces of creators have become rarer and rarer, but they still find the existence of the living corpse kingdom. When the energy traces completely dissipate, their actions will become like looking for a needle in a haystack, which will largely rely on luck.

Zero constantly observes the path of the creator in the intelligent brain in order to find some laws from it. At this time, the convoy got off the road and, under the direction of Agatha, they drove to a branch road under the coastline road. Presented in front of him is the canyon landform he is familiar with. After opening the canyon, it is the wilderness terrain of a flat river. At the end of the road is a continuous mountain range, where Zero knew that there would be a base.

Z7 base!

That's where Zero woke up from his deep sleep and lived for two years. There are many memories of zero there. Although in those memories, many things are not pleasant. But no matter what, the Z7 base is the first home.

Now, Zero is back. But he doesn't feel like going home at all. In addition to his mood has changed, there is another important reason. The Z7 base was found by Agatha, in other words, the creator has been here!

The team stalled and stopped in front of the gate of the Z7 base, and Zero jumped off the off-road vehicle. The military boots stepped on a few gravel, and they splashed and fell to the ground, causing a fine noise. The sound was not loud, but it was abrupt in front of the gate of the silent base, making the feeling of death heavier and heavier.

There is no need to enter the base. Zero has confirmed that there is no one in the base. After all, too many bases have confirmed this. As long as the creators have visited, the people in the bases have probably become the food of the creators, otherwise there will be one or two bodies left. But no, not to mention the body, not even a little meat crumbs.

The hydraulic steel door of the Z7 base is still closed, but there is a gap in the middle of the gate that is enough for off-road vehicles to pass. The edge of the gap is smooth, which does not look like violent damage, but is caused by melting and corrosion using some substances such as strong acids. Such a gap is not uncommon in the bases explored by zero and others. It seems that it should be a special skill possessed by the creator or biological weapons under its command. Most of this skill is not used in combat, but used to destroy the entrance of the base.

Fortunately, the creator was killed by Zero and others as soon as he arrived. Otherwise, if it was allowed to produce a living body with this special ability, it would never be possible for Remt to hold on to the arrival of Asgard's reinforcements.

Johnny and Jonah walked in front, and the six servants fanned and defended Agatha walking behind. At the back, there are two teams, Zero and Berien. At the end were the remaining four servants. Such a team filed into the Z7 base and quickly came to the operation area along the passage.

Z7 base is a semi-living and semi-industrial production base, and its power source is two high-power power units deep in the base. Now the power unit has stopped moving, so it is dark in the base. In addition to blocking strong light, the goggles of Zero and others also have other small functions. Infrared vision is one of them, so darkness is not difficult for them.

There is a slight deviation between the operation area and the memory before zero, which comes from several mining vehicles parked in the operation area. Zero remembers that only Old Jack owned such a mining car in the past, but now there are four more. It seems that the production tools of the base have been improved a lot. In addition, Zero also saw five tactical platforms hanging above the entrance and exit of the mining area.

In addition to the intimidating effect on workers, these things should also be used to defend against some mutagenesis living underground. In general, the Z7 base has been upgraded to a higher level in terms of production kits and weapons and equipment. It seems that the Parkland chaebol will not give up this remote base. But now, the Z7 base is as quiet as a ghost.

The sound of footsteps broke zero's thoughts, but the servants who came back to the living area. After listening to the simple report of the servants, Agatha Chaoling and others shook their heads: "Like the previous bases, there are traces of fighting and no bodies. Gentlemen, this is the last base on the coastline. It can be said that there is no human existence from Remt to here!"

Z7 base is already the last base in the south of the coastline, and in the future, the mainland will turn to the continuous mountains in the west. The nearly 10,000-kilometer-long Twin Towers range stretches across the western land and the coastline. There are peaks in the north and south of the mountain, which are shaped like minarets, so they are named as twin towers. After the Twin Towers, there is a flat land. There are also settlements built on the urban ruins of the old era. Occasionally, adventurous merchants pass by, but rarely appear in the eyes of coastal city people.

After all, the Shuangta Mountains make traffic on both sides of the mountains extremely difficult, which is also a common situation in the new era. The complex geographical environment makes the distribution of human beings no longer as dense as in the old days, the inconvenience of transportation and the lag of information make the inheritance and exchange of knowledge and civilization very difficult. This makes there is a huge gap in human civilization in the region.

Maybe the human civilization on this side of the mountain is very advanced, but the human beings on the other side of the mountain live a primitive life. The gap between civilizations is so great that it brings war and expeditions.

If the Z7 base does not have any instructions from the living corpse kingdom, then Zero and others will inevitably change their way to the west and cross the Twin Towers Mountains to set foot on the mysterious western land.

No one knows what will be there?

When Zero was about to leave the Z7 base, Zero suddenly stood and quickly looked in the direction of the gate of the mining area. The gate of the mining area was completely closed, revealing a gap for only one person to pass through. In this gap, a dark shadow flashed in the zero goggles.

It seems that all the members of the Z7 base are still dead.

Zero immediately ran to the gate. His speed was so fast that he almost took a step. The next moment, he had swept to the door with a remnant of shadow. Zero did not stop, flash in the entrance. As soon as he entered the mining area, he suddenly stopped.

An old-fashioned double-hole shotgun is against his forehead, but judging from the continuous shaking of the shotgun, it seems that the owner of the shotgun is not so calm at this moment.
