Chapter 1 Returning to square one
The road to Dragon City is safe, and it seems that all hostile creatures have returned to their lairs in the dead of winter. Whatever the reason, in sum, in Sue's perception, the sense of crisis that once hovered around all the time had all disappeared, and it had disappeared too completely.
In the cold of winter, it's not just cold, food-scarce, and radiation-rich snow that are the enemies of travelers, but as mutations accelerate, cold-tolerant, heat-tolerant, and radiation-tolerant mutated creatures continue to appear. The diets of various creatures have gradually become broader, and the ability to chew on a single qiē organic matter is no longer a particularly rare instinct.
Sue kept running at a constant pace, as in the wilderness. Because of his injuries, he only advanced at a speed of about 20 kilometers. With each long journey, Sue habitually observes her surroundings and contrasts them with the world she remembers. He found that the mutated creatures in his memory were becoming more powerful at a terrifying rate, and their growth cycles were getting shorter, but their lives were also shortening, and he wondered if it was a price.
From the perspective of the old times, every creature in the turbulent era can be called terrifying, because the process of evolution of many organisms can be completed in a decade, and some tiny creatures that are difficult to see with the naked eye can even mutate multiple times in a year. In fact, the speed of human mutation is not weaker than that of other mutated creatures, and what the ability domain brings to humans is not only strong flesh, superior intelligence, or keen perception. The acquisition and advancement of ability is a change at the genetic level, and it is already a question whether a person can still be called a human when the ability reaches a sufficient level. But in turbulent times, no fool would ask this question, and it's very boring, because being incapable means not being able to survive, or only living like a dog. Those with high-level abilities who don't have to worry about their own survival are also silent on this issue, perhaps because of a faint fear.
Data extracted from permanent memory areas in Sue's brain showed that among the people he met, the average age of those who survived in the wilderness was 29 years old, the age at which women gave birth to their first child was 11 years old, and only one out of every seventeen babies could survive. In Dragon City, although it is not possible to obtain enough information due to the short amount of time, it is clear that the number jù should be at least several times better than in the wilderness.
When analyzing these numbers, although there are flashes of memories of the wilderness from time to time, Su's heart is cold and calm, and there is no such thing as sympathy or compassion. Most of the time, Sue remains in a state of almost emotionless existence. This inhuman calmness has already made him a survivor in countless battles.
While running, Sue checked the number of Jù in the permanent memory area, replaying over and over the important battles she had recently experienced. To his surprise, the scope of the permanent memory area has expanded slightly, and the number of jù that can be accommodated has also increased accordingly. Although the improvement is very limited, it may not even be 5, but this is the first time that Su has improved this area after discovering that there is a zài permanent memory area in his brain.
For the time being, he couldn't think of the purpose of this promotion, so Su didn't think about it anymore, and waited until he returned to Dragon City to check if there was any relevant information. Maybe it would be better to find Helen, but Sue decides to keep a little more secret.
The battle in the north can be regarded as a civil war of the Dark Dragoons, and according to unwritten rules, a civil war cannot be put on the table. In other words, after a series of fierce battles, Su did not receive any merit and remuneration at the headquarters, and he could not openly publicize the killing of the two lieutenant colonels of the Dark Dragoon.
There is no gain from civil war, this is the principle of the Dark Dragoon. Of course, in the face of many interests and reasons, this principle is not always very binding.
There are no gains, but losses are real. The loot obtained after the fierce battle with the blue scorpion and the recapture of Pendulum City has been turned into flying ashes by missiles. Although he eventually defeated the three vultures of the Dark Dragoon, Ricardo's minions and warriors also suffered heavy losses. Sue's troops were never damaged, but the common warriors from Roxerland and Quinn's men were almost completely lost. Personnel, training, and equipment, the sum up is already an astronomical amount for Su.
The dragon city was already on the horizon, but Su stopped, looked at the dragon city that appeared in the fog under the clouds, and took a deep breath to calm himself down. He was angry and puzzled. Angry is that the black hand with the knife is stabbed in the back, and there is no benefit from the civil war, is it that simple? Are there powerful people who are exempt from responsibility for what they do? Sue's puzzlement is the sudden appearance of Medirri and the fierce battle between her and Persephone.
Persephone had returned to the north, and her servants had suffered heavy losses, almost half of them. Now there are less than 10 servants under Persephone's command, so she laughed at herself and said that if she continues like this, she will really become a bare-bones general, and she must go back to the north to make some more money.
She left in a hurry, and didn't give Su a chance to ask in detail at all, but just told Su to heal his injuries first after returning to Dragon City, and not to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes of Kavon and others, now is not the time, and Su does not have the strength.
Because Persephone was in such a hurry, Sue had no way of knowing what had happened between her and Medirli. Now that I think about it, it seems that she left in a hurry because she didn't want to answer the question at all. The answer to the question may be in Dragon City, or in other places, but the key to getting the answer can only be power, overwhelming the power of a qiē!
Sue took a deep breath again!
Fighting, endless battles also gave him irreplaceable wealth, which was evolution points, a lot of evolution points. After repairing the damage of the strictest zhòng, Su still has 66 evolution points! This was enough for him to generate a new Tier 7 Recipe ability. And every seventh-order ability, even if it is a recipe ability, has the power to instantly change the situation of a local battle!
The primordial cold gradually took over Sue's body and mind. For him, Dragon City is not just a supply base, but a city full of unknown enemies, and Su is always cold and cruel when facing enemies.
Dragon City is not a wilderness, and Sue is no longer the primitive hunter who walks among nuclear waste. When he returned to Dragon City, he found that there were too many things to deal with.
Leigh, Rigore, Ricardo, Hanlun, and the two surviving servants all live in Persephone's private hospital. After meeting them one by one, Sue has to admit that Helen is not just an emotionless technomaniac, she is also a very clever doctor. When Sue arrived, they had only spent two days in a private hospital, but their injuries were improving. Rei still needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days, and Rigore is already able to walk around on crutches. The powerful fighting domain ability gave Han Lun the same powerful recovery power, and his injuries were basically healed in two days.
The most seriously injured was Ricciardo, half of his internal organs were almost broken, but after Helen had operated on him with his own hands, when Sue walked into his hospital room, Ricardo actually leaned on the hospital bed, biting a cigarette in his mouth, while flipping through the old ** magazine.
Seeing that it was Sue who entered the ward, Ricardo's eyes lit up, and despite the nurse's murderous gaze, he spit out half of his cigarette directly on the ground and actually jumped out of bed!
Unfortunately, Ricardo clearly overestimated the amount of his flesh, and the shock when he hit the ground immediately made him pale and stiffly fell forward. Su was taken aback and hurriedly helped him.
It was a long time before Ricardo took a breath and his face was bloody again. He smiled a little weakly, looked at Su carefully, and suddenly hit Sue in the abdomen with a heavy punch! Ricardo, who had just undergone major surgery, was unexpectedly heavy, but Su gently retracted his abdomen and quietly took the punch.
"It's so fucking nice to see you come back alive!" The shock of the punch made the blood on Ricciardo's face disappear again, but he still grinned, despite the distortion of his smile.
Su smiled slightly, he didn't know what to say because he was not good at words, so he didn't say a word.
After only a few laughs, Ricardo gasped in pain and had to hold Sue to stand firm. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the snickering nurse next to him, and suddenly out of nowhere did he get the strength, his right hand reached out, and pinched her ** that was mostly exposed. The angry nurse screamed, her dodging looking pandering.
After a few more touches, Ricardian withdrew his hand, smiled at her, and said, "I'm fine, you go out first." ”
The nurse looked at Ricardo's face again to make sure he was unlikely to die suddenly, and then left the room. Before going out, she also glanced at Su, and her rippling eyes were full of naked teasing.
Since the day the bandages were removed, Sue had become accustomed to the greedy or provocative gazes of women and men. He was, of course, indifferent to the nurse's hints. However, Sue, who has an extremely keen sense, finds that the nurse's gaze on Ricardo is much more eager, even with some fanaticism.
Sue was never proud of her looks, but instead thought it was a nuisance. But I don't know what's going on, as his ability progresses, Su has noticed that his appearance has changed accordingly. Sue is getting prettier, at least by most people's standards. Yes, pretty. It's a very appropriate adjective, and even when standing with Persephone, Sue is not much inferior.
Ricardo seemed to sense Sue's thoughts, and suddenly smiled a little mysteriously and asked, "Do you know why she is so much more enthusiastic about me than for you?" ”
Su noticed the difference in the nurse's attitude, but she didn't think it was a thing, so she smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter." ”
Ricardo shook his head, patted Sue on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't always look like a big guy!" You know, most of the people who make up this world are just ordinary people, and you have to try to see the world from their point of view to understand them. For example, the beautiful woman just now, every time I touch it, there will be 100 yuan: this is not an agreement, but I will always pay her, and it becomes an agreement. When my injury heals and I don't mind spending a few nights full of ** with her, her income will double this year. Again, it's not an agreement, but I'll pay for it. She has no talent, she will not produce high-level abilities, and she is destined to become a big man in this life. For her, money is the most realistic and the only thing she can rely on. Now you understand why I am far less beautiful than you and not as cool as you, but she likes me more! ”
"I used to pay, too." Su frowned and said, this is his principle. But he also knew that he was still very poor in the wilderness, and naturally he could not compare with someone like Ricardo who had the support of his family. Even now, he wouldn't be like Ricciardo. Sue always remembered that Persephone was still burdened with huge debts for him.
Ricardo laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. Just lying in the hospital for two days with nothing to do, just thinking nonsense. I'm thinking, what makes us so high that we can take the lives of others at will? It's the ability. We who have power, who live in the wilderness, are gods. We can do whatever we want, without constraints, because the displaced people cannot pose any threat to us. In the same way, people with higher abilities have the possibility to do whatever they want in front of us. Therefore, we are accustomed to focusing our attention on the capable and turning a blind eye to the more incapable ordinary people. ”
Su thoughtfully.
"Perhaps, this world does not belong to us, but to these ordinary people who are silently slaughtered by others."
When Su was thinking about the meaning behind this sentence, Ricardo, who was still like a philosopher just now, suddenly put on a strange smile, lowered his voice, and said very mysteriously: "Hi! Don't talk about these boring ones. Bro, you know what, I found a super beauty here! You can't imagine her sexy at all! ”
"Super beauty?" Sue, who couldn't cry or laugh at Ricardo's face-changing ability, couldn't think of any super beauties in this hospital no matter how he thought about it, and he had seen every doctor and nurse in the hospital. Unless Ricardo thinks the nurse just now is a super beauty, if that's the case, Sue is going to start doubting his aesthetic standards.
Perhaps women are a common topic among men. Ricardo's eyes lit up, a real, real glow, and he leaned in to Sue and said in a voice that was almost impossible to hear, "She's ...... Helen! ”
"Helen?!" Su cried out. Changing any other name would not have made him react so violently. Su added without thinking: "You said that cold medical device is sexy? ”
Ricardo took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and asserted, "Indescribably sexy!" ”
Su suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, and before he could turn around, a cold, mechanical, and eternally unchanged voice came from behind him: "Who do you say is a cold medical device?" ”
Su smiled bitterly and turned around slowly.
He really didn't understand, with his own perceptual ability, how could he not realize that Helen, who was completely powerless, was already standing behind him. Could it be that his attention was all attracted by Ricardo?
"This Major Su, please come with me." Helen said coldly, and then turned and left the ward. Su shook her head helplessly, and had to follow her.
Before leaving the ward, Sue glanced at Ricardo and saw that he was staring at Helen's back, his eyes full of fascination. ,Wonderful unlimitedhttp://Www./
