Chapter 125 In the Name of Survival

"Everyone will think that Old Bruce died of myocardial infarction, because he really shouldn't drink so much spirits. His heart, which is about to be scrapped, can't stand such a violent stimulation." Palen said blankly, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Do as you say, Perla, do it well!"

"I will follow your orders, boss!"

Pella retreated quietly, and Theon's fingers quickly moved on the light screen of the computer. Another set of already designed programs immediately replaced the original system, in which Theon has the highest priority. So the previously rejected document was immediately approved by Theon himself.

Theon has always had the ambition to replace Bruce, but he has not acted. On the one, it's not so necessary, and on the other, old Bruce can sometimes block some irrelevant trouble for Theon. But now it's different. Remter, which is about to run, will become an efficient machine, and Theon will not allow old parts like Bruce to hinder the operation of the machine.

From today on, he will hold power firmly in his own hands, even if the price of power is endless blood!

There is no hesitation in Theon's eyes, and hesitant people can't do big things, just like old Bruce. And the end of such a person is to be eliminated by the times and eventually become a corpse in his residence.

In this regard, he feels that he and Zero are the same kind of people. As long as they decide, they will spare no effort to achieve it.

Theon walked to the window of the office, facing north with still hot coffee in his hand.

"Respect us!"

Theon said silently.

Today is destined to be an extraordinary day for Remter.

At noon, old Bruce was found dead in his bedroom by the servant. The strong smell of alcohol and several empty bottles in the bedroom have explained the cause of Bruce's death, and after confirmation by the doctor, it was confirmed that there was a large amount of alcohol left in Bruce's body. So his sudden myocardial infarction had a good reason. Although some representatives of the union who were friends with Bruce were still suspicious, the sudden increase of patrols in Remte made them give up the idea of questioning.

On the same day, Theon held a meeting of trade union representatives. Under the attention of the cobra troops and a live-fired soldier, Theon quickly took the throne of the union chairman with an overwhelming number of votes.

Whether you used to stand in the Theon camp or stand on the opposite side. In a series of measures released by Xi Si next, they all began to realize that Remter would make a big move. This emerging base city will soon run like a wheel, and the resources and wealth generated will continue to be poured into Theon's plan.

It is foreseeable that Remter will usher in a period of rapid development. As for whether Remte under the crazy operation ushered in a new life of transformation or a hell of destruction, no one knows.

Even Keith doesn't know!

He only knew that when Zero came out of Death Ridge, Remte would show a new side to the world.

Zero is now walking in the jungle like a tropical rainforest.

After leaving Phoenix, after a low but steep mountain road, he and Moni officially entered the Death Ridge known as the forbidden place of life that evening.

However, he did not expect that the mountains of various scary adjectives such as forbidden land, terror, death, etc. were filled with amazing vitality. Unlike the desolate wilderness, there is lush vegetation in the Death Ridge. The two just walked into the edge and saw many plants that only appeared in the old times and are now basically extinct.

However, no matter the low bushes or tall trees with bright fruits, the vitality of these plants is too strong. Its intensity simply appeared in front of Zero like a living person.

This is a living mountain.

Zero made such an evaluation of Death Ridge.

But the name of Death Ridge is not a false name. The horror of this mountain lies in the death you can't see. Up to now, I haven't encountered any powerful mutan beasts, but like branches and leaves that can grow jagged bushes at any time, cannibal trees that can rise from the ground and drill into blood-sucking objects, or emerald green grasses that seem to be weak in appearance and easily cut the human body... All these plants are full of thirst for flesh and blood. Look, just like a thirsty beast.

Half an hour after entering Death Ridge, he was attacked by such a mutabulary plant. In turbulent times, in addition to biology, plants have also muted in order to survive. But the changes of these plants in Death Ridge seem to be more powerful than those of relatives in the wilderness. In Zero's view, they even have a little intelligence, which makes people feel that the whole Death Ridge is full of strange atmosphere.

The time is at night, and the grass leaves within the first ten meters of a hillside are cleaned up. Even something similar to a rhizome in the soil has been dug out. After being roasted dry in the residual temperature of the evening sun, it is now used as a bonfire.

And it turned out that Zero's care was right. When these seemingly harmless rhizomes were thrown into the fire, they kept twisting like living creatures, causing the flames to crackle. Moni left the strange fire with some fear, but Lala was quite interested. The beast stretched out her short forelimbs to touch the roots.

When an external contact is detected, the unfinished end of the rhizome will grow some whiskers quickly, and then try to wrap it up and pull it like an antennae and keep yourself away from the fire. Of course, the guy with such an attempt was cut off with zero, and then helplessly burned into carbon in the flames, motionless.

It's just that even if these things look dry on the outside, they are very watery. Even if it is barbecued in the fire, it took half an hour to stop twisting. Zero thought, this may be the origin of the strong vitality of plants. The desire for survival in this jungle is specifically reflected in the different life forms of each plant.

"Zero, how long are we going to stay here?" Moni hid beside Zero and shrank.

Zero looked at the stubborn child. Although Moni didn't say anything, her gently trembling body showed that she was scared. Zero patted her pink back and said, "Ten days at most."

Money nodded and did not ask any more questions, but took out her dagger to practice. Zero knew that Moni didn't want to become her own oil bottle, so she tried to practice everything she taught her. But he also knew that it would take a long time for Moni to become stronger and even survive in the wilderness independently. Even if the desire to become stronger is strong now, it can't change this fact.

But Moni has this thought, and Zero appreciates it very much. In the face of the cruel reality, some people choose to give in and some choose to fight. Undoubtedly, Moni is the latter.

A map constructed in Phoenix spread out in front of Zero. This map only shows the general terrain of Death Ridge, and the so-called passage is just a mountain road reclaimed by caravans and sporadic troops for many years. Such a mountain road is not convenient for travelers to pass by, but it is not safe at all. Not to mention those mutant beasts that have not yet been discovered, such ubiquitous mutant plants are enough to threaten anyone who passes through the mountain road.

In fact, there is not much difference in safety between walking on Shangshan Road or crossing mountains directly like zero. The difference is that the caravan cannot take the zero walk because of the cargo, and although zero takes a straight line, which greatly shortens the time, but because there is no team's care, the safety factor is correspondingly reduced.

Bove methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. As for how to choose, it is only the idea of the person who chooses it.

is coming again.

Zero quickly took out Colt, and then turned around and aimed at the dark place in the distance of the jungle.

Just now, Zero gave birth to the feeling of being peeped at. With the improvement of ability, the feeling of zero becomes more and more sensitive. He doesn't think it's an illusion. Weak, but with a slight sense of acupuncture, which is some kind of hostile detection. But after Zero took out Colt, this feeling faded quickly, indicating that the person or creature peeping at him had left.

This feeling always appears from time to time after entering Death Ridge. And from the frequency and position of appearance, the other party is constantly approaching itself.

There is no accurate information, and Zero can't tell whether the other party is the aborigines of Death Ridge or a ghostly killer from Parkland. But no matter which side, as long as he or it shows hostility to Zero, Zero will always surprise them.

The sudden gesture of raising the gun also scared Moni, but the girl did not panic. Instead, she grabbed Lala and lowered her body. At the same time, she grasped the dagger in her hand and made a move that could be attacked at any time. It was not until Zero put away Colt that Moni lifted her own alert posture.

However, before the zero buttocks sat down, the bushes not far to the west showed a shaking phenomenon. At this time, the wind blew and the bushes shook. Strangely, the shaking of the bush is completely opposite to the wind, as if it were escaping something. If it weren't for the keen sense of zero, and the golden right eye could freely adjust the visual distance, otherwise, other people would not have found such a subtle situation.

Zero immediately pulled Monica back to the place where the bonfire could not shine. A moment later, two men appeared in the camp cleared by Zero. The man is not wearing modern clothes, but just a hemp skirt. Various duck-like patterns are painted on the skirt with unknown paint, and there are also various brightly colored tattoos on the body.

The man holds a sharp wooden spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear is painted green. If it is not out of the worship of a certain color, it is the use of the ancient but effective attack method of poisoning. Due to years of exposure to strong radiation air, the two men have their own mutants, which appear on their chests or shoulders, like a layer of biological armor.

When such mutant tissues deteriorate further, they will compete with human organs for the nourishment of the body, which will eventually lead to human death. No one can change this outcome unless it is removed by precise surgery like Master.

Before they became fatal, these abnormally thick fibrous layers of mutant tissues did serve as a defense against them.

The two fell into the eyes of Zero hiding in the dark, but they were no different from the jungle natives of the old era. And they, Zero Know, are what George called the mountain mobulns.
