There is an unwritten rule in the wilderness.

When a hunter or mercenary is on an official mission, unless he dies in battle during the mission, the official needs to help in time if he is injured and has specific coordinates. This is for the sake of protecting the best talents, and no one who can be officially assigned and assigned a task is a mediocre person. In turbulent times, talent is the greatest wealth, and no base or company is willing to sacrifice a talent casually. Unless, the two are in an adversarial relationship.

Of course, there is no hostility between Phoenix and Zero, and strictly speaking, Zero is still in the mission period before he returns to the city, not to mention that he also fired a distress flare that George personally handed to him. Whatever the reason, reinforcements from the Phoenix side are sure to arrive quickly.

Of course, such a rescue is not entirely unconditional.

The rescued mercenary hunter needs to unconditionally agree to at least one official mission for the rescuer within a year's time. As long as you are not dead, no matter where you are, you have to go out as soon as you receive the request from the rescuer. In turbulent times, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Zero Nature knew what it meant to shoot a flare, but compared the freedom of a mission to life, Zero Nature chose the latter.

And when he saw the signal flare dragging the flame tail straight into the night sky, Lan Qi had to curse secretly.

When he instructed the red wolf to intercept Zero and create a sniper opportunity for him, Lan Qi already planned to kill Zero and send the red wolf to hell at will. It's just that he underestimated Zero's keen perception of danger, as well as his keen instinct to avoid danger. So the sniper that Lan Qi thought was going to hit didn't pierce Zero's heart as he expected, and then sent it into the red wolf's head.

It can be said that this sniper Lan Qi was only half successful.

With Zero falling, it was difficult for Lan Qi to fire another shot two kilometers away in the vast night. But flares give him a chance, and at the same time give him a choice.

Choices in killing Zero and offending Phoenix.

Even if Lan Qi is from Parkland, if there is a direct conflict in the rescue operation in Phoenix, Parkland can hand him over so as not to offend a new military city like Phoenix. If it were the past, Lan Qi would have immediately retreated when he saw the flare.

But Zero was his killer, so after a moment of hesitation, Lan Qi chose to shoot again.

The vulture's muzzle quickly adjusted, and with the help of the sight and enhanced sight range, Lan Qi was able to lock on to the zero position again. This time he aimed at the opponent's head, Zero was already unconscious, and Lan Qi's shot could be said to be nine out of ten. However, as soon as he was about to press the trigger, an indescribable sense of danger immediately flowed through his body.

Snipers in the wilderness have the instinct for danger like beasts, and Zero is no exception, and Lan Qi is no exception. This time, the bald eagle could not hesitate, there was more than one chance to kill Zero, but he definitely had only one life. Not wanting to take his life for revenge, Lan Qi quickly picked up his sniper rifle and quickly evacuated the sniper position.

As soon as he hid behind a boulder in the wilderness, Lan Qi noticed a strange scream passing over the sniper position. He lay down on his stomach behind the rocks and quickly sprinkled some yellowish powder. The powder was able to conceal his aura and release an earthy-like taste. As long as they don't search closely, even a mutant beast with a sharp nose can't tell Lan Qi apart from the Great Circle.

The bald eagle was lying on the ground, looking up slightly at the sky, a strange creature was hovering above the sniper position, and from a distance, it was a humanoid mutant beast. But the appearance of the lion's head and eagle wings, Lan Qi had never seen it at all. The mutant beast circled several times before flying in the direction of Phoenix.

And after it left, the army of Phoenix had found the stunned Zero.

Zero had a weird dream.

In the dream, he sat alone on the Ferris wheel in the playground. Through the glass of the Ferris wheel, Zero saw that continuous red clouds appeared in the sky in the distance, followed by tongues of fire that broke through the clouds, dragging the mighty flame tail to the earth. In an instant, the earth turned into a sea of fire, and countless people turned into charcoal in the blink of an eye.

Buildings are crumbling, the ground is cracking, people are screaming...... The earth is no longer a paradise for survival, it has become a hell of death.

Zero sat helplessly on the Ferris wheel, watched the steel bracket of the Ferris wheel be melted, and then took him with him and smashed it into the ground that turned into a sea of fire.

The picture has changed again.

Zero saw the beautiful shadow again, and in the field of the splendid flowers, she chased the wind like a happy elf. Zero still couldn't see her clearly, and as he tried to get closer, she stopped abruptly.

Turning, she faced him.

That blurred face gradually became clear, and she became Leah.

"Zero, help me!"

Leah shouted, and then her face changed, and Hans's demonic face appeared in Zero's eyes.

The face of the Han period and the body of a girl make up a strange and eccentric picture.

Zero screamed, and the image in front of him disappeared cleanly. Then there are all kinds of strange sounds, there are roaring human voices, there are sounds of instruments working. There was a blur of light and shadow in his eyes, and the distorted figures in the light and shadow were shaking. After a slight numbness in his body, Zero fell into a coma again.

But this time, he didn't have any more strange dreams.

When he opened his eyes again, he happened to see the scene of the red clouds in Phoenix City in the evening outside the window.

"Zero, are you awake?"

A childish, but surprising voice sounded in his ears.

The sound still came from far away, hollow and long. It took him a moment to get used to his body, which had just woken up from a deep sleep. He turned his head and saw Moni.

On Moni's head, Lara was pressed against her pale silver hair. The little beast seems to be in good spirits, and when it screams at the sight of Zero, it is about to collapse into Zero's body. But in mid-air, she was caught by Moni, so Lala could only look at the girl aggrievedly.

"How many days have I slept?" Zero asked, realizing that his voice was hoarse like never before.

Moni's eyes were a little red, and she tried to squeeze a smile on her little face and said, "Not much, just two or three days." ”

"Strictly 78 hours, lucky boy. ”

A large figure appeared on the other side of Zero, but it was Senior George. George doesn't look very good, and the deep dark circles on his face indicate that he hasn't rested very well lately. And the dense stubble on his chin made him look a little haggard.

George casually threw a bill onto Zero's chest: "It's great to see that you're not dead, otherwise this bill would be gone." Listen man, you don't know how lucky you are, and when we found you, you were dying. Damn, anyone with an extra hole in their chest shouldn't survive, but you survived, I have to say it's a miracle!"

Zero smiled, picked up the account sheet with his numb hand and looked at it, and immediately changed color.

On the bill, the number of "8230" is impressive. Zero didn't expect that he slept for three days and used up almost all his savings. He couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth, this has not yet received a cent of interest from Parkland, but he is about to become negative equity.

Seeing the change in the expression on Zero's face, George couldn't help but hahadaxiao and snatched the account slip. Then knead it into a ball and throw it into the trash.

Zero looked at him puzzled.

George pointed his finger at his body and said, "It's okay, all the expenses for rescuing you have already been paid by your body." ”

Zero's face immediately changed.

George smiled again and said, "Don't worry, it's not any pervert who has taken a fancy to your body." Although it is true that your body is beautiful, even more beautiful than some women. Well, I would say that the lunatics in the military hospital are interested in the data of your body. They said that as long as you cooperate with the check-up during the hospitalization, not only will the fee be free, but you will also be paid an extra amount when you are discharged. I said buddy, you're lucky. ”

Zero doesn't think so, he doesn't want his body to attract any attention. However, after he passed out, it seemed that some abnormalities in his body had been successfully noticed by the doctors in Phoenix, and he was included in the research subject without authorization. Zero has decided that he must destroy all relevant data before he leaves.

"I've got something to do, so I'll go first. George slapped his hands on Zero's body and said, "You just concentrate on recuperating from your injuries, no one dares to hurt you in Phoenix, I still have this confidence." ”

With that, George stood up and gave Moni a lustful smile. Moni was not afraid, but smiled at him charmingly. This stunned George, and the officer shook his head and left the room.

Although George said that Zero was reassured, how could Zero be able to settle down. Since Parkland has made some moves, it will definitely come one after another. Zero decided to be discharged from the hospital and leave Phoenix as soon as possible. He doesn't like the current passive situation, instead, he wants to take out Parkland's killer in turn. And if you want to do this, you will undoubtedly have to pull the other side to your own home turf.

Zero's home field, in the wilderness!

George walked on his way back to the army command post.

Things weren't going well in Phoenix, and Operation Lair ended up being incomplete. On that day, when Brian was killed, the Fenri Wolf, who had lost his command, was unable to organize an effective counterattack and was scattered by the forces of Phoenix.

But at the end of the king-slaying operation, something went wrong, and the Fenri wolf evolved lifeform that jumped out of nowhere and killed three members of the king-slaying team in a row. Of the remaining three, Sario is still missing, and Kazuo Biandu is seriously injured. As for Zero, who deserted halfway, he is also lying in the hospital now.

For this evolved werewolf, the higher-ups of Phoenix City attach great importance to it. Because he didn't know that the first person to come into contact with the werewolf was actually zero, Phoenix now focused his attention on the survivor of Kazuo Bunto.

Kazuo Biandu is now kept in the army command post and has a special person in charge of guarding him. Phoenix wants to learn about the werewolf through Kazuo Bianwa, but now it seems that this method will not work, because Kazuo Biandu is crazy!
