Faced with Zero's proposal, Staley just smiled noncommittally, but James seemed very excited. That gentleman-like face suddenly turned red, and even the energy in his body tended to increase, like an undercurrent surging sea.

Zero, on the other hand, is a towering reef that does not change color no matter how big the waves are and how fast the undercurrents are.

It took a long time for James's breath to calm down as usual. The man snorted from his nostrils and said coldly: "I refuse, your proposal is tantamount to admitting that you are incompetent." And the hammer of destruction does not need incompetent people, whether it is a general or a soldier!"

Staley said in a round beside him: "The order of the regimental commander has never been compromised, and it has become our tradition, dignity and pride. In the history of the Hammer of Doom, no one has ever asked the regimental commander for reinforcements because of the number of enemies. Because we trust the judgment of the regimental commander, if you need help, you don't need to ask, you will find reinforcements quietly coming. ”

"It's only the second day, and you're trampling on our dignity by asking us to join forces to ask for support!" James added.

Kaede laughed dryly and said, "Lord James, don't you think that sometimes dignity should be compromised for survival?"

James's eyes suddenly became sharp, but his tone became calmer: "Anyway, I refuse such an offer. As for the defense, if you can't hold the line, you can evacuate early and let the enemy rush at us. Staley and I will stop each other in front of the bridge, and we will never let them step on the bridge!"

Kaede wanted to taunt him a few more words, but saw that Zero shook his head, so he had to swallow the words into his stomach. Zero then said, "Well, since you two don't approve of my proposal, then I won't mention it again at this point." As a matter of principle, I respect the tradition of the Hammer of Doom, of which I am a part. But from a personal standpoint, I think tradition sometimes has to be flexible. What do you two think?"

There was no intention of listening to James's answer, and after leaving this question behind, Zero took Kaede and Su to say goodbye and leave.

On the way back to town, Kaede is very angry with what James and the others have done, and his words are fierce, and he has begun to wonder if the Hammer of Doom really deserves the title of Ace Elite, or if it is just a bunch of arrogant people.

Zero was silent all the way, and it wasn't until he was about to enter the town that he spoke: "It's no wonder that they, James, Staley, and even the head of the regiment, Thor, they are different from us." ”

"What's the difference? Isn't it two arms and one mouth?" Kaede asked rhetorically.

Su Leng said coldly: "Zero is talking about the difference between our backgrounds, please use your brain before you speak." I think everything in there is rusty. ”

Kaede Haha smiled and said, "It's not because I have a head, my head has been useless for a long time." ”

"I haven't seen you use it before. "Su ruthlessly struck.

For the mutual run between these two people, Zero is no longer surprised. There is no malice in this kind of conversation, on the contrary, if everyone is not a partner without a barrier, it is impossible for Su and Kaede to communicate in this way. Zero continued, "As far as pixels go, we're from a different background than them. We come from the wilderness, and whether it's fighting or whatever, it's all about survival. But they are different, not to mention Saul, James and they come from a large or small family. In their education, dignity and pride have become their first credo. ”

"Maybe they are arrogant and rigid in our eyes, but they take it for granted. We may not think so, but to be fair, such creeds, while rigid, can sometimes turn them into fanatical warriors. They don't fear the strength of their opponents, they don't fear pain and death, so it's hard for me to blame them. "There are always two sides to things, like two sides of a coin, or day and darkness. ”

"Where there is light, there will be darkness!"

For the next two days, the days seemed peaceful.

Since the first night of the Pellidons' invasion, there has been no small-scale harassment in the past two days, which makes one wonder if the aliens have packed up their packages and returned to their nest. But every time he saw the smoke rising from the city in the far away wilderness, Zero felt as if his heart was shrouded in a dark cloud, and he was indescribably depressed. "It's like the calm before a storm. Leah said beside her.

In her spare time during these two days, Zero took the time to instruct her on some shooting jishu. In the process, Leah learns quickly, like a natural shooter, only she didn't notice her talent in shooting before. But Zero vaguely felt that this had something to do with Leah's novice, when she had elements of the Discord in her blood, and the two fused with each other to form new genes.

Although Lea is still the dominant trait in this gene, the disordered one's genes affect the newborn Leah. The most direct manifestation is that Leah has the ability to appear, and now, it is more about the ability to accept things and the ability to learn has been greatly enhanced. Zero now knows that Discord is actually Prosius's first failed work.

Prosius directly caused certain life forms to evolve rapidly, and these life forms did evolve very quickly. Even an ordinary person can become a third- or fourth-order warrior after accepting Prosius's "gift", but evolution is blind and irreversible. When the chain of evolution turns too fast and too quickly, it will break, and these beings will become irrational.

Obviously, the Discord was not suited to act as Prosious' protector and liberator, so the Star Beast simply abandoned them. Instead, the door to evolution is open to all life except humans, and this time Prosius is clearly more cautious. It did not design a blueprint for evolution, but only allowed the evolutionary process that originally took tens of thousands of years or more for life to occur in just a few decades, and then eliminated it through the laws of nature, thus prompting the emergence of various intelligent races now.

Although, for Prosius, the Discord is a failed work. But it is undeniable that the genes of the disordered do have a role in stimulating potential. Leah is one of the most haode examples, and the biggest beneficiary of the disorder gene.

The current Leah, in addition to the ability to perceive the domain, is not much different from a good soldier in terms of skill and physical strength. It's just that Zero habitually treats her as the weak girl she used to be, which may be due to the man's desire to protect.

Hearing Leah's exclamation, Zero put down his binoculars and muttered, "Maybe I can get a trip around the city." ”

Leah was taken aback by the decision.

"What, head, you're going to the city?"

In the room that was used as the command room, when Zero proposed the decision, Brown was the first to stand up against it: "Head, it's no more like ever. What we are suffering from is war, a real war. And that city, damn it, gives me a taste of an arsenal. Yes, the great city may have been transformed into a massive arsenal by the aliens, and it is no longer a city, but a well-guarded fortress. ”

"I'm not questioning your abilities, but I think you should be more cautious. ”

Zero nodded and said, "Xiexie, your reminder, but everyone has also seen the situation." Although the aliens have not moved for two days, no one knows when they will come next, what kind of life they will come, what specialties they have, and so on. We don't even know what's going on inside the cities they occupy. Intelligence, we are desperately lacking in intelligence. ”

"I'm very uneasy to continue defending like this. It was a city that I cared about, and as Brown said, it looked like an arsenal, but we didn't know what kind of weapons the enemy was producing. "That's why I decided to take a trip to the city," Zero emphasized. I have to see for myself what our opponents are doing and what they are going to do. Otherwise, we simply won't be able to develop a targeted defense strategy. ”

"In that case, I'll go with you. My mental scan should be able to help. Leah said, now that Zero had made up her mind, she gave her full support.

Zero refused: "No, I'll go alone this time." This was a reconnaissance operation, not a battle, and it was easy to be spotted when there were many people. ”

In this short meeting, the matter of reconnaissance was thus settled. No one would question Zero's abilities, the Shadow Wanderer itself is very good at stealth, and in that alone, Zero has the only team that can be compared to Yeliu. So next, Zero began to prepare for this operation. Brown retrieved a map of the city from his brain, but the so-called map was only a rough topographical map of the Golden Tomahawk's scouts.

After all, under the heavy military town, even with the power of the golden battle axe, it can only detect the situation in some surrounding areas. If you want to go deeper, there really isn't anyone with the ability to hide above the eighth order in the Golden Battle Axe.

However, for Zero, this level of topographic mapping is sufficient. On the map, he could see some special markings. These signs are mainly focused on facilities such as bullet train tracks and railways at the entrance to the city, which indicate that it is possible to sneak into the interior of the city through these facilities. Zero memorizes them by heart, so that he can use them when he moves at night.

In addition to that, Brown also prepared some tools for Zero. Although with zero ability and skill, these tools are dispensable. However, in the spirit of preparedness, Brown still packed a backpack of these things. As for the firearms, in addition to the Black Rose and the Golden Rose, Brown also prepared a sniper rifle for Zero.

This is the latest new-age sniper rifle developed by Zero Point, with a long body. Powered by a high-capacity battery, it fires large-caliber alloy bullets. The bullet ejected at a terrifying speed of 3,000 meters per second, and under the action of this huge kinetic energy, Zero can easily use it to bomb an armored combat vehicle within 1 kilometer.

The name of the sniper rifle is "Battleship Artillery", and the name is very appropriate for its power, full of rough and furious flavor. The only thing that makes Zero criticize is that, like most new-age guns, this battleship gun is very quiet when firing. But in terms of evening action, it couldn't be more appropriate.

However, the battleship gun has only just been developed, and the Zero is currently using a concept version. Brown was brought to Brown just before leaving the laboratory, and there are still some minor problems with this gun at the moment, the most intuitive is that the precision sights are still not matched, and the recoil is not something that anyone can afford. As for the special ammunition, the laboratory has only produced a base number of ammunition with the gun.

All these things were looted for Brown, and the uncle decided to use them himself. Indeed, his man-bear-like physique and murder weapons like battleship artillery are quite good-looking. But because of Zero's actions tonight, Brown couldn't bear to cut his love.

Zero is irreverent, although he can use energy to directly materialize weapons. But even the most powerful weapon needs to consume a certain percentage of energy, and with this murder weapon with you right now, zero can naturally save it. As for the sights, recoil, and ammunition, none of them are a problem here.

The first two zeros can be solved completely with free sight distance and body flexibility, and as for ammunition, after deconstructing one of the alloy bullets, zero is completely able to materialize bullets of the same mass. It's just a materialization of such an alloy bullet, but it consumes the usual ten standard sniper bullets, which makes Zero a little surprised.

The following afternoon, Zero was familiar with the operation and power of the battleship's guns in the wilderness, so he could have an estimate in his mind. This new heavy sniper is worthy of the name of artillery, and during the shooting practice, a boulder weighing nearly ten tons was blasted into powder at a distance of two thousand meters. This kind of power is not inferior to the artillery attack of a tank.

If Zero adds special features to the Metal Bullet, such as a heavy sniper incendiary or explosive shell, the power of the battleship's guns will be increased by about three or four percent. With this heavy sniper, as long as the distance is right, Zero is completely sure that he can beat a strongman like James or Staley to a mother.

Night is coming.

On the town's bell tower, Leah silently watched as a thin figure gradually left the town and disappeared into the darkness of the wilderness.

"Don't worry, Zero will be fine. Su said as she wiped her alloy heavy sword beside her as she comforted Leah.

Leah smiled and said, "Of course, he is the bravest man I have ever met. No difficulty can knock him down!"

Feng Wenyan, who was leaning on the railing of the bell tower, straightened up and said solemnly: "Actually, I don't hide it, I and Tou are the same kind of men." ”

Leah was suddenly "fluttered" and laughed at Kaede, and Su Ze could hear the rag in his hand slipping, and then sarcastically said: "You are the thickest skinned man I have ever seen!"

"Thanks for the compliment. Kaede responded directly to Su's evaluation with words.

Leah's soft laughter rang out from the bell tower, and Zero in the wilderness heard only the sound of the wind.

Wilderness, this is the shijie he is familiar with. Leaving his partner and lover, he went on the road alone, experiencing the desolation and loneliness of the wilderness. Waist-high weeds, tilting high-voltage towers, and the occasional chirping of carnivorous birds make up a set of post-apocalyptic images. And in this dark and lonely shijie, Zero's left eye is burning with a raging golden flame.

It will ignite the wilderness, ignite shijie!
