Chapter 304 Living
It's another dark night.
The night was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and even a trace of skylight was stingy. Only the brilliance of the energy transmission pipeline on the ground of Jotonheim and the energy torrent sprayed from time to time at the top of the pointed column illuminate the sky.
The rest of the place is as dark as a bottomless abyss.
In a dense forest far away from Jotonheim, Zero inserted the last vibration sensor into the soft woodland and covered it with leaves to form a simple cover. He exhaled, and as the sensor began to work, any abnormality in a space of nearly 1,000 square meters will be displayed on Agatha's intelligent brain through the feedback signals of nearly ten sensors around him.
This warning line is not rigorous enough, but it is enough to deal with living corpses. The feeling of being peeped quietly disappeared after being hung tightly on his buttocks by the idea of the terminal pillar in the middle of Jotonheim during the day and Zero escaped with Agatha for nearly a few kilometers.
The two fought and fled every day. Even Agatha, who had the least exercise, felt tired, not to mention Zero, who was the main force.
After arranging the warning line, he dragged his tired body back to the temporary camp of the two, a natural cave on the edge of the woods.
There was a faint firelight in the cave, which was a bonfire that Agatha picked up many dry branches. Because the cave is "J" type, the burning bonfire in the depths of the cave is only a faint fire when it penetrates to the mouth of the cave. If it is not close, it will be difficult to find it.
Zero patted two long and one short applause with both hands at the mouth of the cave, which was the secret code agreed by the two in advance. Otherwise, if you rush into the cave, you will be attacked by Agatha. When he walked into the cave, Zero smelled a smell of meat. Even a indifferent person like him smelled the fragrance of meat after a day of hard work and unconsciously swallowed twice. If Feng is here, I'm afraid the breakfast will be over.
Thinking of Feng, Zero's face was gloomy. After getting rid of the pursuers of the will and living corpses, they tried to contact others, but the contact on the Night God tactical suit kept sounding bad signals as if they were encountering electromagnetic interference. Even if Agatha tried to perceive their existence, it was disturbed by another force. In Agatha's perception, the whole Jordanheim is like a thick black fog. Agatha's spiritual will can't break the black fog at all, let alone find Feng and others.
Now, I can only hope that they can take good care of themselves. When Zero thought so, his footsteps couldn't help but weigh a little.
Turning across the mountain wall, the end of the cave is looking at. A bonfire was burning hot, and the flame was nearly meters away. The flame kept splashing out a little spark and swaying to the ground. The bonfire dispelled the cold of the night, and its thick smoke emitted from the natural formation of the cave and did not remain in the cave. Looking up from the sill, it is dark. If it is during the day, you should be able to see the skylight.
Agatha took off her black uniform and only wore a close-fitting tactical suit, outlining her wonderful lines that made her throat dry. When Zero came in, she was starting the marching stove. In the small round pot on the stove, two artificial steaks were buzzing and overflowing with fragrance.
Now that there are no servants around, Agatha can only cook food for herself and Zero. Speaking of cooking, Agatha is just heating. Fast food is originally cooked, and spices have been mixed in the food. But at this time, the aroma is more fragrant.
Zero sat next to Agatha. She had taken a simple vessel, picked up a well-cooked steak from the pot and put it in it, and handed it to Zero: "Eat while it's hot, Captain Zero, thank you for your hard work today."
"You too." Ling rudely took some hot utensils and made the steak cool a little. After dividing it into thin pieces with a knife and fork, he put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Artificial food itself lacks muscle fiber, but it has the taste of food and rich nutrition, which can basically be regarded as an entrance. But Zero ate very carefully, as if he was eating real beef in his mouth.
Agatha smiled and said, "It seems that Captain Zero should be a person who cherishes food."
swallowed a piece of beef into his stomach and sighed, "Captain Agatha must have never been in the wilderness. I remember that the first meal I had in the wilderness was moldy black bread, and water with less radiation but dirty water. At that time, I was wondering, are these things eaten by people? But I still eat them, because if you don't eat, you can only wait to die.
Agatha's words reminded Zero of the first meal arranged for herself when she just woke up at the Z7 base. At that time, he was not used to this cruel era. Thinking about it, it seemed that Leah's voice still floated in his ears: Do you still expect to eat fresh meat and fruits? That's the food that nobles are qualified to enjoy!
Thinking of Lea, Zero thinks of Asgatri's ongoing rebirth plan, and I don't know how Victor's progress is now?
Looking at zero and thinking deeply, I even forgot to eat the rest of the beef. Agatha thought that she had touched some unpleasant memories, so she whispered, "I'm sorry."
"What? Oh, there is nothing to apologize for, Captain Agatha. Zero came to his senses and shook his head.
"Actually, you're right. I really haven't lived in the wilderness." Agatha gently bit her own steak and tore off a trace of beef and stuffed it into her mouth: "My father was also a member of the Hammer of Destruction a long time ago. I was born in Asgatry, and compared with many people, I am a very lucky person. I remember my childhood, full of joy. In the new era, I'm afraid few people will have a childhood like me.
Agatha was smiling, but from her smile, Zero felt a trace of sadness.
"Happiness naturally comes at a price. If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a life. But when I was 13 years old, my father died in a battle. Although Asgard paid my mother a lot of pension for this, my mother ran away with other men with this money. Agatha laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe for her, I'm only 13 years old. I remember begging her desperately at that time, and I would work hard as long as she didn't leave me. But she still left. After all, a man who can protect her is far more important than my daughter.
I don't know when the utensils in Zero's hand sank slightly. When Zero came to his senses, he found that his thumb had been pressed blue because of excessive force.
Agatha lowered her head and borrowed the action of eating to prevent Zero from seeing her face. But in the shadow covered by Liuhai, several crystal flashes fell. Agatha's faint voice sounded: "But there is nothing wrong with this. Blessed my mother, I learned to be strong in my hard life. Until 16 years old, I experienced the first genetic shock and stepped into the field of capable people from then on. It was followed by day and night training. It was not until I entered the Hammer of Destruction and became a warrior that I saw my mother again.
"Ironically, the man who promised to protect his mother ran away after taking away his father's pension. When my mother struggled to survive by selling her body and saw me again, the beautiful mother was no longer magnificent. She confessed to me and asked for my forgiveness. When I saw her appearance, I found that I didn't even have the strength to hate her.
"After getting my forgiveness, my mother left. Not long after, I heard the news of her death. Strangely, I don't feel sad. I thought I wouldn't feel sad in the future, but now..." Agatha suddenly raised her head and there was fog in her eyes: "But now, why do I feel so much pain in my heart?"
He said lightly: "Pain and sadness are not bad things. It is proof that we are still alive."
As long as you are still alive, there is hope to make up for your mistakes or regrets!
