Chapter 4 (Minions of Chaos)
Chapter IV
Due to the end of his studies, Zero Bo applied to his parents to join the city guard agency of Qianlan City, firstly, to continue his cultivation, and secondly, because after he defeated Mr. Black, the inexplicable uneasiness that the things around him would be in crisis increased day by day.
Zero Bo didn't know if he was nervous, because since he was a child, Zero Bo was full of foreknowledge of impending danger, could this be the legendary prophetic ability? Zero's parents, who learned of their son's plan, did not veto, but did not support it.
"Xiao Ling, I heard that you joined the city garrison group, I knew that with your physical fitness, it must be a hot item" Chen Fei called early in the morning to greet "Which area have you been assigned to?"
"Oh, Xiaofei, it's okay, fortunately, I'm in charge of our area, including the forest area in the back mountain. "And I'm going to go on patrol today." ”
"Oh, well, uh...... Are you free at night? My dad ...... Please eat!" Chen Fei said with a slight shyness. Chenfei's home is just two blocks away from Zero's home, and both belong to residential areas in the southeast of the city.
"Uh...... Isn't it a little sudden, I ......" Zero Bo was caught off guard by the sudden invitation of his girlfriend elder.
"What's wrong? Isn't it convenient? My dad has a good impression of you...... It's nice to have a chat together, isn't it?" Chen Fei continued.
"Okay then, I'll contact you after the patrol is over, and try not to miss the appointment!" Zero Bo smiled bitterly and hung up the phone. After a brief explanation to his parents, he went out.
Under the arrangement of the garrison team, Zero Bo and the other two older garrison officers were divided into a group of three. Since the forests in the back mountains form a natural barrier to the city, ordinary simple patrols do not penetrate deep into the forest. And what's even more unbeknownst is that since he was a teenager, Zero Bo has been in and out of this forest every night to receive hellish training from the mysterious Mr. Black.
"It's still early, otherwise, let's continue to walk into the forest, and it can be regarded as bringing the new Zero Wave garrison officer to familiarize himself with the terrain" The leading captain is named Xie An, a burly figure, wearing a uniform that looks old but not dirty, and casually tidied up the gun and baton as he spoke.
"No problem, Brother Zero Bo has amazing results in the selection exam, if our brothers are lazy, how can we be worthy of Zero Wave calling us two captains!" "The slightly shorter garrison officer behind him is named Fan Jiu, although his name is rustic, but he is very clever, he is a shooting master of the garrison group of Qianlan City.
Zero Bo followed behind the two and smiled softly. Improving the city's security system is a significant task for the garrison team, and although the two captains love to joke, it does not mean that they will be lax in their tasks.
As the sun went down, the three of them gradually entered the center of the forest, and the forest was still as quiet as ever, "This is equivalent to the center of the forest." Further out of the forest, there was a rocky hill. Standing on the hills, you can see the whole forest. Xie An explained to Zero Bo beside him as he walked.
"I heard that after the interracial war that year, there were two heroes who belonged to the Alliance Army who lived here, but the city kept all the information of these two people secret. When I was young, I just heard about it. Xie An said, a hint of respect appeared on his face.
"Ah, I've heard about this too, it's because of these two heroes that Qianlan City will gradually become stable, but thanks to their efforts in the battle of aliens, the reason why I joined the garrison group, my dream is to become a hero too, hehe!" Fan Jiu, who was walking behind, stretched his back and said with a smile.
"I think it's a hero to have the courage to take on the responsibility of protecting the city and its people. Zero Bo looked at the two captains and nodded approvingly.
Zero Wave has also heard of this person who has a saying about heroes, and if they are in this forest, they can become heroes...... Zero Bo thought about it, it might be Mr. Black, but if it's two people, then who is the other one? Zero Bo admires the heroes of that war from the bottom of his heart, but he thinks that when a person needs to protect everything and stands up, then whether he is a hero or not is worthy of respect!
Giggles...... Crunch...... A strange and subtle sound came, Zero Wave subconsciously stopped his thoughts, subconsciously stopped, and the two garrisons beside him came back to their senses, and turned their heads to look at Zero Wave behind him in wonder.
"Did you hear anything" Zero Wave frowned, the sense of breath was an ability that Zero Wave had mastered over the years when he was practicing physical arts, and he could feel that it was not Mr. Black or any human breath, nor did it look like a small animal.
"No, what did you hear?" Fan Jiu subconsciously touched the gun on his waist with his right hand.
"Is it a beast?" Xie An immediately rejected his conjecture as soon as he finished speaking, and in all the years he had been patrolling, there had never been a large beast in this forest.
"Look at the front right. Zero Bo made a directional motion with two fingers and motioned for the other two to lower their bodies.
"Look, what is that?" Fan Jiu, who had a slightly better eye, whispered, and following his fingers, a dark shadow gradually walked into their sight. I saw an animal with the shape of a man, making a gurgling sound, and walking towards them.
Zero Wave has never seen this kind of animal, it can even be said to be a creature, this thing is covered with carapace, feet and hands and sharp claws, but the most abnormal thing has an inverted triangular head, small eyes without pupils, grinning mouth with two rows of sharp teeth, the gurgling sound just now is made by the collision between teeth!
"Alien Beast !!" Xie An shuddered, "Why is it here?" Xie An shouted in a low voice, and slowly pulled out the gun on his waist.
"Don't shoot yet, I don't know if there is a ...... nearby" Fan Jiu pressed his body and the gun in his hand, "I have only seen the pattern in the record, why...... The monster that has disappeared after so many years ......" Fan Jiu's eyes gradually became cold.
"We can't let him go any further, whatever he is, it's going to bring panic to the people. Zero Bo gently reached for the baton on his waist.
"Zero wave, you stand back...... Quickly report to the garrison headquarters......" Xie An stretched out his hand to block in front of Zero Bo, "I'll meet it" and pulled out his baton.
"Stand there, don't move," Fan Jiu stood to the side and aimed his gun at what was called a strange beast, "I'll shoot if I go any further." Fan had never dealt with a strange beast for a long time, and he wasn't sure if his rash shooting would attract other strange beasts nearby.
The beast turned around at the sudden shout, and Zero Wave stepped aside to call HQ over the radio.
"Wow~~~~~" With a roar, the alien beast suddenly rushed towards Fan Jiu, Fan Jiu quickly took two steps back, only to see Xie An suddenly jump up from the side, the baton on his waist smashed into the head of the alien beast like a long knife, and then his left hand clenched into a fist and slammed into the abdomen of the alien beast.
The strange beast was caught off guard and smashed into its body by two slams, and the powerful strength of the garrison officer Xie An made the strange beast can't help but take two steps to the side. "Wooh......" With a miserable scream, Zero Bo raised his head suddenly, because this scream came from Xie An's mouth, "Is this guy made of iron?" Xie An's left hand hung down unnaturally, and before he could stand still, the strange beast waved its claws and grabbed Xie An's head.
Xie An immediately raised his baton to block, but the strength of the beast was huge, and it swept the burly Xie An out and crashed into the tree. "Zero Bo, did you call the headquarters?" Fan Jiu, who was armed with a gun, turned around and roared, Xie An was one of the best masters in the security team, but he was easily slapped away by the claws of the strange beast. It seems that the batons are not working.
"There is a magnetic field interference in the signal. Zero Wave stood up and removed the wireless intercom from his ear.
"Damn!!" Fan Jiu scolded, and rushed towards the alien beast with a gun, at this time, Xie An, who fell to the side, staggered to his feet and touched the blood on the corner of his mouth. Raising his hand and smashing the baton at the alien beast with another blow, Fan Jiu sensitively ran behind Xie An while the alien beast blocked the baton, raised his gun and shot. There was a crisp sound, and the power of the bullets pushed the alien beast backwards, but Fan Jiu could clearly see that not a single bullet could nail into the alien beast's body.
The alien beast was finally enraged, roared angrily, rushed towards the two, and waved a claw, Xie An blocked with a baton, and smashed Xie An to one knee with a strong force, followed by another claw sweep, Xie An was swept out again, Fan Jiu behind him immediately rolled to avoid, pulled the trigger, and another round of shooting did not slow down the offensive of the alien beast, but made himself the target of the alien beast.
"Get down!" With an angry shout, Fan Jiu was able to avoid another sharp claw sweep of the alien beast, and a figure jumped up from behind Fan Jiu, and Zero Wave hit the strange beast's face with a flying kick, and the force was so great that the alien beast flew backwards, Zero Wave didn't dare to drag, and helped Fan Jiu on the ground and said, "Captain Fan, take Captain Xie and retreat outside the forest, you should be able to use the radio when you get out of the forest." ”
"Zero Wave, what are you going to do? you can't deal with it alone!" Fan Jiu hesitated.
"I'll try my best to lead the alien beast in the opposite direction out of the forest, and I'll find a way to contact you wirelessly!" After saying that, Zero Wave didn't wait for Fan Jiu to hesitate, and flew up again, kicking at the alien beast that had just risen.
"Come on, you monster, I know you can understand what I'm saying, and I'll accompany you if you want to fight. Zero Wave managed to attract the attention of the beast and ran towards the other side of the forest!
Looking down from the hills is a basin, the middle of the basin is rocky, Zero Wave has never been here, but how to look at it, there is a strange feeling, the empty rocky beach is not necessarily a better duel field than the woods for Zero Wave.
"Wow...... Giggle...... "The roar of the alien beast came from not far behind Zero Wave, the unknown opponent was indeed a rare challenge for Zero Wave, but for this monster that would definitely cause harm to the crowd on the other side of the forest, Zero Wave's helplessness was still greater than his excitement. This monster has a super ability to resist hits, and the baton is obviously not very effective, and the newcomer with a gun or something naturally didn't carry it. "It would be nice if there was a sharp sword. Zero Bo muttered as he stood firm and prepared to fight.
"Shhh............h
The alien beast rushed to Zero Wave and swept with its claws, Zero Wave instantly leaned over and flashed, and then turned his fist into a palm and slapped upward, his strength did not decrease at all, but Zero Wave knew how to minimize the damage to himself.
The monster's head was tilted upwards after being struck by a palm, and then Zero Wave followed further, continuing to open its palms and reach out to the beast's abdomen. With a soft shout from Zero Wave, the alien beast flew out a few meters away like a kite with a broken string.
"I have to admire, Mr. Hei's swordsmanship is first-class, and his physical skills can also be used in actual combat. Zero Bo rubbed his slightly red and swollen hands. But again and again this guy flew out, and this guy stood up again and again. Zero Wave didn't really plan to let the support of the defense team deal with this strange beast, in case anyone was injured again......
"Hey, stinky boy, that's a strange beast, what are you waiting for!" A familiar voice sounded from a piece of ruins behind Zerowave.
"Mr. Black, you've finally appeared. Zero Bo didn't look back, but there was a slight excitement in his voice.
", I can't stand it, stinky boy, this kind of monster needs to be solved quickly. Mr. Hei's voice was slightly dissatisfied.
"Of course I know, I'm not trying to figure out a way!" Zero Bo scratched his head helplessly.
At this moment, Mr. Black drew a long sword from behind him. "Although I have never let you use a real sword, remember, from now on, if you want to protect it, you must put an end to sin. Can you do it?" said that, throwing the sword at Zerowave. The monster got up again, staggering a little and continued to walk towards Zerowave, who also walked slowly, but did not pull out the long sword stuck in the ground.
"Alas~" With a sigh, a gust of wind struck from behind Zero Wave, and a black shadow instantly pulled out the long sword in front of Zero Wave, and stabbed at a long distance, which is Mr. Black's specialty "Gale • Spike" "Die, Chaos Minions." ”
The beast couldn't react at all, and it was pierced through its neck in an instant. A dark stream of slime erupted. Then he fell to the ground with a bang and turned to pus. "They don't belong to this world at all, do you understand now?" said Mr. Black, putting away his sword. "Alas...... There are some things I still haven't had time to tell you, I'll make up for them!"
After the beast was destroyed, Mr. Black left without saying anything. Zero Wave tried to call the radio and report the news of the destruction of the alien beast to Fan Jiu, of course, the more detailed process Zero Wave selectively said, and was slightly relieved when he learned that the injured Xie An was not in danger of life after only adding a broken rib bone to his left wrist.
It seems that the appearance of strange beasts around the city should be enough to attract the attention of the city's garrison force! After making a simple report to the garrison headquarters, Zero Bo got up and rushed in the direction of the city!
When night finally fell, the rocky beach was quiet, and the moonlight on the rocks of all sizes added some mystery to the rocky beach.
Suddenly, the black shadow flickered, and the two figures landed in the place where Zero Bo had fought before, "After all these years, they are still back...... One of the men in black picked up a stone on the ground.
"Yes, we've been guarding this place for so many years, and the xenos have sent explorers right under our noses. Looks like we're being targeted!" the other dark shadow was a woman.
"Inform Carlo immediately, if we are targeted, the city garrison alone will not be able to stop the aliens. Also, don't let that kid get involved!" With a sigh, the two figures melted into the night. Looking at it again, the stone that had just been picked up seemed to have been crushed, and the powder was scattered all over the ground.
"Zero Bo, Dad said, you will naturally be busy when you first join the garrison...... He said he could understand the fact that you couldn't come to your appointment last time. It was early in the morning, and Zero Wave dialed Chen Fei's phone, and before Zero Wave could continue to explain, Chen Fei said in understanding.
"Xiaofei, uh...... Still to say sorry, uh, are you free today?...... If you can, uh......" Zero Bo was full of shame and spoke heavily.
"Okay, I see, Dad invites you again tonight, if you don't show up again...... I will definitely rush to your house and tie you up!Oh, by the way, Shi Yun and Long Mei will also come to my house tonight. Chen Fei patiently calmed Zero Bo. That's fine, if Zero Bo sees Chen Fei's father alone, he will definitely be so nervous.
Zero Bo breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty. Yesterday, I went to the garrison headquarters to report on the situation of the aliens, and the garrison headquarters planned to hold an internal meeting to decide on the plan for strengthening the city garrison next.
Unexpectedly, Zero Bo did not receive the notice of the meeting, and later after greeting Xie An, who also did not attend the meeting because of his injury, he learned that although Zero Wave had made meritorious contributions, the completeness of the situation report was relatively high. But the recruit garrison officer is only eligible to be informed of the course of action and carry out thereafter.
Zero Bo sighed helplessly, early this morning, Mom and Dad went out, Zero Bo ate something casually and went back to the house to turn on the computer, enter the database webpage of the Qianlan City Garrison Headquarters, and enter the login qualification borrowed from Xie An.
Zero Bo needs to know more about this creature that he has never seen before, there are still many things that Mr. Hei has not told him, and he always feels that although Mr. Hei has trained him in the past ten years, although it is cruel, it still contains a lot of care to a greater or lesser extent. It even gave Zero Wave a sense of parent-like intimacy!
