Zero looked up at Atesha.

Atessa sat down next to Zero and gasped for a few breaths before saying, "He walked up the Lassen River." ”

"Are you sure?" asked Zero, who couldn't do the reconnaissance work on his own because his injuries took time to recover. Atessa volunteered to take on the task, and it took more than two hours for the girl to return to the village.

Atesha raised her eyebrows and said, "I've been the most haode hunter in the village since I was 5 years old. All the time!"

After emphasizing this, she pointed to the map in front of Zero and said, "This guy is very cunning as you say! He has cleaned up almost all traces of his departure, including footprints, and he has not left any physical traces that can be left, but he can't get rid of the smell. I have to say that the smell of you outsiders is really quite obvious, so obvious that it is like a torch in the night, and I can smell it as soon as I smell it. ”

"Following his scent, I came to the upper reaches of the Ramarsen River, where there were signs of felling of plants and mud marks of heavy objects being pushed into the water. I don't think he had the stamina to clean up the traces when he arrived, so he quickly chose to go into the water and escape after chopping wood to build a raft. Atessa added.

Looking at the map, the Ramasson River is a winding river that flattens out until a kilometer or so downstream. There are mostly rapids and rapids, and there is no place to land. In other words, if Parkland's killer goes into the water, then he must have to go downstream to re-land.

Zero finger xiangxia swimming, asking: "From upstream to downstream, how long does it take to drift downstream?" ”

Atesha closed her eyes, apparently calculating in her mind. After a moment she opened her eyes and said, "Three days." ”

"Three days?"

"That's the most conservative estimate, and that includes the fact that this guy didn't blow the rapids into the water, or that he didn't attack the megalodon and triangular crocodile in the Ramasson River. Atesha sneered, "It's summer, and the mutant beasts in the Ramasson River are active." Even if they don't attack the outsider, the intense movement in the water will cause all sorts of whirlwinds and undercurrents, which will greatly increase the time it takes to cross the Ramarthen. Three days is already the shortest time, it can't be shorter!"

Zero looks at the map and travels from the Semitic village to the lower reaches of the Ramasen River. The only way to cross Death Canyon is to take the waterway. Judging from the map, Death Canyon does not run in a straight line through this northern area, but its slight slope is much faster than the snake-like Ramasson River channel.

"How long will it take us to reach the lower reaches of the Ramasson River if we go to Death Canyon?" asked Zero again.

Atesha's eyes lit up: "It can be there tomorrow afternoon at the earliest." Death Canyon is covered with Death Flowers, and the winds in the valley blow endlessly every day, making the Death Flowers fly all over the sky and become an insurmountable barrier. But throughout the day, the wind stops around 12 to 3 a.m. We can swing through the myriad vines that crisscross above the canyon without touching the Grim Reaper. But ......"

Looking at Zero, the black girl said with some regret: "Your injuries will not be able to act until at least tomorrow, so we have to delay our arrival by one day." ”

"That's too late. Zero stood up, took out another roll of detoxification bandage, and then circled his body again, and said, "We'll leave tonight, and we must get to the downstream area tomorrow evening, and then we can surprise him." ”

"Can you hold on? It will take at least two hours to get through the canyon, and that kind of exercise is ......," Atesha said skeptically.

Zero smiled, "As long as you don't engage in a fierce battle, there should be no problem." ”

He is not exaggerating, and the daytime estimate of the injury is based on the recovery data from the previous serious injury. But Zero found that now his body's ability to recover seems to have increased a bit. The injuries that would have been largely recovered tomorrow morning have now reached the minimum standard of mobility. If this development continues, Zero believes that it is not impossible to recover from Hans's injuries in a blink of an eye, and even regenerate his body.

Seeing that Zero insisted, Atesa did not object, so the two quickly packed up.

Zero woke up Monie and saw that it was not too early, so naturally she couldn't let Monie act on her own like she went to Death Canyon during the day. However, Zero's condition only allows him to act on his own, and he cannot use a speed that exceeds the fourth order of agility, otherwise the injury will worsen. So the task fell to Atesha, but fortunately Atesha didn't hate Moni, and the black girl didn't object.

In this way, the trio left the village and traveled through the mountains at a constant speed of 150 kilometers per hour in the darkness. Although he only used the speed of third-order agility, Zero looked at Atesha's relaxed appearance, and thought to himself that this black girl might not be much lower than herself in terms of agility enhancement.

Agility enhancement is a secondary ability, and generally speaking, it is only in the fighting department, and it is mainly women who strengthen this ability. Because women's physical strength is not as good as that of men, it is determined that they do not have the potential to develop towards high-level liliang strength. Therefore, they need more flexibility and speed to make up for the lack of liliang.

Even if it is a high-level fighting domain warrior, they can choose a level of enhancement of about the third order at most in this ability. After all, for them, the nimble skills are not as clean as the absolute Liliang suppression. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, they are not optimistic about the ability of agile enhancement, although the lowest level of ability can also cause qualitative change once it is developed to a higher level. But agile enhancement is seen by many as an escape art, and those who choose to invest in this ability usually represent the weak.

Zero has no bias in this regard, he is not good at the elemental domain, or the jishu of the fighting domain. Whether it's a sniper or a short-range shootout, both of these need to distance yourself from your opponent. So for him, agility enhancement is by far the most cost-effective. For a gunman, distance is life!

And Atesha, who grew up in the jungle, seems to have invested a lot of evolution points in agility enhancement. In addition to being a woman, this is somewhat related to Atesha's living environment. After all, on the Grim Reaper Ridge, the speed is faster, and the probability of saving your life is relatively higher.

Two hours later, the three of them came to the dividing line that had been seen in the morning at the downhill level. From the moment you set foot on the reddish-brown gravel ground, you can clearly feel that the radiation intensity in this area is far stronger than the area occupied by mutant plants. To this end, Moni has already put on protective clothing and activated the radiation protection kit to protect against the huge amount of radiation in the area.

But this is not enough, with Moni's physique and equipment, she can only be active in this area for about two or three hours at most. Beyond this time, Moni will become infected, which will trigger a series of genetic lesions, and Zuihou will cause a total genetic collapse.

Therefore, Zero and Atesha do not make a stay. After only taking a short break in the grass with green vegetation, he plunged towards the entrance of Death Canyon at a speed that carried the afterimage.

Both of them understand that this is not only a race against the Parkland Killers, but also a race against time. The time left for them to pass through the valley was just enough for the two of them to be two hundred kilometers deep. This also has to ensure that there are no accidents on the way, and as long as they accidentally fall to the bottom, the Grim Reaper flowers all over the mountains will become their Zuihou destination.

When I came to the entrance of the canyon, it happened that the wind had stopped for about 1 minute, and the time was strictly calculated by Atesha. When Zero Three came to the valley mouth, they could just see the grand scene of the blue magic flowers falling to the ground in the sky. This scene is like a falling sun, as beautiful as a dreamlike fireworks. At the same time, it is also the deadliest pyrotechnics.

Atesha didn't speak, and Moni, who was on her back, had been secured with a Semitic bark rope. So the black girl didn't need to be distracted by Moni, she was preoccupied with choosing every place to stay, carefully moving away from every place where she might step on the Grim Reaper, and constantly moving towards the canyon wall. Zero followed her, landing as precise as the repetition of Arteidonsha's movements.

In the darkness of the night, the figures of the three of them kept approaching the mountain wall of the canyon. When he got closer, Zero saw that the walls of the Death Canyon were scorched black, but there were many holes in the walls. The holes are intricately tangled in the air with arm-thick vines that connect to the other side of the canyon to form a dark green barrier.

These vines are the only plants in the canyon, and they are slightly different from normal vines. On the surface of the vine, there are round crusts of different sizes on the roots of the vines, which look like abnormal tissues produced by the human body after staying under the radiation source for a long time. And the Grim Reaper flower on the canyon floor actually grew from the mutant organization of these plants. The Reaper Flower is the product of the vines removing toxins from their bodies, otherwise they would not have been able to grow so densely in this frighteningly strong area of radiation.

Zero had no time to sigh at the wonder of nature's creation, and watched as Atesha suddenly sped up. She carried Moni on her back almost as far as she ran up the sloping mountain wall, and when she reached the apex, she reached out and hung on a vine. Then, Atesha's hands quickly staggered, and she moved in mid-air towards the depths of the canyon with the help of the ubiquitous vines.

Taking a deep breath, Zero suddenly increased his speed to the level of fourth-order agility. Pain signals immediately came from all over the body, and Zero's face was pale, but the hard will suppressed the sound of the body resisting. The huge kinetic energy in exchange pushed him and Atesha up the mountain wall, and then when he was close to the highest point, his hands suddenly grabbed a vine, and Zero released the fourth-order agility ability.

Fortunately, this "journey" is not far away, and Zero's body can still bear it. But looking at the trend of the canyon that stretched far into the distance, Zero couldn't help but smile bitterly. Now he could only hope that his body would be able to survive the distance that was not too far, and at the same time not too close, as he expected. Otherwise, the faint blue earth under his feet will become his most gorgeous coffin!
