After seeing Atesha, Zero also sees Moni. It's just that Moni seems to be injured, she is lying flat on the sand, and her left calf is still bandaged. On the white bandage, there was a slight flush dissolving. Lara was right next to Mony, and the little beast rubbed her body against Moni.

Perhaps because it was too dry, Zero licked his lips. Then his face changed, and there was a faint smell of rust in his lips, which he knew very well was blood, and human blood. Then, as if something remained in the wall of his mouth, he stirred it with his tongue, followed by the tip of his tongue touching a scrap of meat. It's just a simple touch, but there is a lot of data flowing into Zero's mind. So he knew that, like blood, this scrap of meat also came from human body tissue.

Looking at Moni's injured left leg again, Zero seemed to know something.

Atesha, who was a few meters away, could clearly feel the heat emanating from Zero's body. The scorching air even wrapped around him and swirled slightly, holding his black hair gently fluttering.

And at this moment, there is not even a trace of wind on the Grim Reaper Ridge.

Half an hour later, the air currents and heat waves disappeared. Zero silently walked over to Mony's side and sat down, Lara glanced at him, and then flapped her fat wings and flew to Zero's shoulders.

Zero leaned down and brought herself closer to Moni's face. He leaned into Mony's ear and moved his lips slightly.

No one knows what he said.

By night, Moni had woken up. His face, pale from blood loss, had a faint hint of blood in the bonfire that Atesha had raised. And after eating Atesha's roasted mutant rabbit meat, Moni's face began to smile.

As if she had gained some strength, Moni began to speak, sometimes praising Atessa's good skills, and sometimes telling a nasty joke or two from the drinkers in Fury Reef. Zero interjects a sentence or two from time to time, but most of the time, he's as quiet as Atesha.

After settling a piece of breast meat, Zero indicates that he has eaten his fill. There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the three, and no one mentioned Zero and Moni's injuries, as if it was a wound that they didn't want to touch. Although the wound will always scar, it will never go away.

"After a 10-minute break, let's hurry, we've lost too much time, we have to hurry. Zero said.

Atessa said quietly, "I have no problem, but you two?"

"I'm almost recovered, and even now I have no problem working with people. "Zero is well aware of his body, and he won't force himself to do anything beyond his limits unless it's absolutely necessary. And now it's just a rush, not to mention that he still has some time to rest after reaching the downstream area, and he can adjust to his best condition before the Parkland Killer appears.

Moni also raised her hand and said, "I'm fine, but I may need a cane." ”

Atesha said without raising her head: "No need, I'll carry you on my back, so hurry up." ”

So the matter was settled, and after eating and drinking, the remaining rabbit meat was carefully preserved by Artesa. It's rare to see a herbivorous mutant beast like this, and even Atesha, who grew up on the Grim Reaper's Ridge, hasn't seen many of them in a year. The flesh of the herbivore beast is fragrant and delicious, which is a rare delicacy. Naturally, Atesha will not waste it, although there are many mutant beasts on the Death Ridge, there are very few that can be eaten. The leftover rabbit meat, if you save a little to eat, can last for about two days.

After packing up and cleaning up the traces of the campfire, the three of them set out on their way.

The land is already moist because of its proximity to the Ramarsen River, which is due to the fact that the rhizomes of various plants hidden deep in the ground are constantly drawing water from the Ramarcen River. When the plants have absorbed enough water, the excess is excreted, and the water makes the otherwise dry ground slightly moist.

The three of them walked through the downhill wetlands, directly into the woods below, and then to the river. But they did not dare to get too close, there was no extra cover on the bank of the river, and only a few bushes were occasionally planted on the edge of the unstable riverbed. In fact, the vicinity of the Ramasson River is not suitable for plant growth, and megalodons use these plants to sharpen their teeth, while the triangular jaws rub their huge bodies against the plants in order to rub away dirt from them. The mutant beasts in the Ramasson River make the mutated plants shy away, let alone the ordinary trees.

So within ten meters of the Ramasson River, Zero barely sees a decent plant. Instead, megalodons leap out of the water in schools, and it is not uncommon for angular jaws to bite each other in the water.

They tried to stick to the riverbank, but chose to move forward at the edge of the woods, and just like that, by the time it was about early morning, Zero and they had reached the downstream area. The river in this area is thousands of meters wide, and the water rushing from the upper reaches of the river crashes against the towering, sharp reef with a loud and loud sound.

Downstream, the river flows rapidly, with waves rising from 10 meters high from time to time, and then wetting the sand within nearly 100 meters of the riverbank.

There are no more mutant beasts here, and neither megalodons nor horned crocodiles will approach this stretch of water. All because further on, there is a large crack across the Grim Reaper's Ridge. At that point, the water of the Ramasson River flows down like a waterfall, and after flowing into a bottomless abyss of less than a kilometer, it flows through the underground river into the boundless polluted sea beyond the coastline.

It is not for nothing that Zero chose this place as a sniper position, first of all, the geographical environment here is very complicated, not to mention the vast woods behind the river beach, that is, the boulders in this area are as chaotic as teeth, and the boulders that are more than ten meters above ten meters have become natural cover; secondly, the all-weather uninterrupted impact of the river has made the whole area loud and loud, and the sound of the water waves will interfere with the judgment of the Parkland killer, which also provides excellent cover for Zero's sniping.

Zero's Jihua is very simple, first let Atesha ambush in a corner and fight the killer when he appears, and as for Zero himself, he chooses a commanding height and waits for the opportunity to snipe. This is exactly what the killer used against Zero when he was in Phoenix, using the ability of the combat domain to entangle the prey in close quarters, and then using sniping to find the right opportunity to kill with one hit.

This method is not suitable for dealing with more than one prey, but if the opponent is alone, it can often achieve miraculous results. Especially if the other party doesn't know that Zero still has Atesha as a helper, the chance of success will be very high.

However, to the surprise of a few people, Parkland's killer did not appear in the time they expected. It wasn't until sunset the next day after Zero reached the downstream area that Atesa saw a nearly fragmented raft coming from the far reaches of the Ramasson River and approaching the bank under the control of a man on the raft.

The prey has finally arrived!
