Volume 1 The Mighty Earth Chapter 17 Doom (Collect!)

Updated: 2012-07-06

The limit field of view of the mechanical sight is 600 meters, but with the cooperation of Zero Gold's right eye, the distance is infinitely close. Zero easily saw a corpse wolf a kilometer away, and the crosshair of the sight appeared on the beast's forehead.

Zero calculation and correction of ballistic errors. Then gently pulled the trigger, and in an instant, the corpse wolf in the sight shook violently, and most of his head was swept off by the impact of the sniper bullet, and the whole wolf body fell to the ground weakly.

The canyon was silent, and the sound of sniper equipment had long since been silenced by the muffler.

Zero leaves the boulder as a cover, picks up his sniper rifle, and moves like a ghost in the direction of the wolf corpse. His movements were gentle and swift, and the canyon was like a sleeping beast, unaware of the arrival of the uninvited guest Zero.

Zero didn't deliberately hide his figure, and this was the third sentry he killed. No new sentinels will appear until the wolves have detected the anomaly. Zero boosts his speed to the limit, and the ability to enhance his first-order agility allows him to move forward at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and the distance of kilometers is instantaneous.

One minute later, he was already standing next to the wolf's corpse. Zero crouched down, picked out one of the fangs on the roof of the corpse wolf's jaw with a steel dagger, and tucked it into the backpack behind him. Nestled in the backpack lay two other wolf fangs, each representing the life of a corpse wolf, as a proof of zero reward for the task. And today, there will be more such credentials.

Moving silently, he slid down a stone ditch, climbed over boulders, jumped over cracks in the ground, and Zuihou came behind a rock. The sun-exposed side of the rock is radiating high heat, and even if he is hiding in the backlight, Zero can still feel the heat emitted by the stone. He was wearing a gray-brown hazmat suit, and the color of the suit looked like a mountain full of rocks from a distance, acting as a cover.

The strong ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can bake an egg, but Zero only feels a little hotter, and there is not a single bead of sweat on his face. This kind of physique seems to be able to adjust the temperature automatically, and Zero attributes it to an adjunct of abnormal abilities.

The wind blows from behind the stones, bringing with it the smell of corpse wolves. Zero wasn't in a hurry, he was waiting, waiting for the energetic male wolves below to rest. Zero will create a small landslide in order to kill the beasts as much as possible. As for the lone ones, they are not sure that they will not be able to escape the range of the sniper rifle.

To do this, start the movement from zero.

With a silent movement, he buried the detonators one by one into the rock pile. The weight of the detonator and the angle of the explosion were calculated with zero precision, and his mind had already simulated what would happen after the explosion. A large number of falling rocks will fall on the wolves before they can react, and this sudden attack will at least lose nearly eighty percent of the wolves' numbers, and the rest will naturally have zero sniper rifles to greet them.

When a detonator was buried, Zero smelled something strange.

It was bloody, it smelled fresh, and there was something else about it. It doesn't smell like it's smelly or fragrant, so I can't tell what it feels like. And apparently, Zero doesn't have any memory of the taste in his head. On the contrary, it was the smell of blood, but it made Zero's mind form a picture of a corpse wolf.

It's just a corpse wolf that has been disemboweled.

It's upwind, so the smell goes unnoticed by the wolves below the canyon. And if it weren't for Zero's closeness, he wouldn't have wanted to notice.

Zero withdraws the dagger, and at close range, the sniper rifle is far less useful than the dagger. He resembles a cheetah, his slender and flexible body full of explosive power, making Zero enough to deal with any sudden danger.

Guided by the scent, Zero walked around a rock, only to see a cave in front of him.

The smell of blood wafted out of the cave.

On the sand outside the cave, zero traces of drag were found. And on some of the rocks next to it, there are some sharp, disordered notches. Zero lay on the ground, and the smell of the corpse wolf immediately penetrated his nose. He frowned and walked cautiously towards the cave. It didn't take long for a puff of gray-white hair on the sand to catch Zero's eyes.

He could already imagine what it would be like.

A corpse wolf, dragged into a cave by an unknown creature, tortured and killed. Judging by the depth of the marks on the sand and the claw marks left on the rocks, it should be a male wolf. Only an adult male wolf will have enough weight to match the marks on the ground, as well as have great strength and sharp claws to be able to leave clear claw marks on rocks.

And Zero can't imagine what can capture an adult corpse wolf alive, with Zero's cognition of the new era, in the memory bank of his mind, only the butcher he has met in Silvertree City has this qualification.

However, there were no signs on the sand except for the trail marks of the corpse wolf. This means that the thing that catches the corpse wolf will not be very large and lightweight, otherwise there will definitely be something left.

The dagger in his hand was tighter.

When Zero walked into the cave, there was a pinprick-like tingling sensation on the skin under the hazmat suit. It was a danger signal, and the silver streaks immediately focused on Zero's golden right eye, clearly reflecting the scene in the cave in Zero's eyes.

The cave is not big, but the walls are covered in blood. An adult male wolf's belly was ruptured, and his intestines and internal organs were all over the floor, and some were trampled into a pulp of flesh mixed with the gravel. Underneath the wolf corpse, there was a puddle of blood. Judging by the viscosity of the blood, the male wolf died in no more than 10 minutes.

And all this time, Zero has been laying detonators nearby, but he has no idea that the killing is around him at all.

He got goosebumps.

Zero has always been highly sensitive to danger, and it was the first time that a killing like this one was happening around him, and he didn't know it at all.

He used his dagger to pick open the wound of the wolf corpse, and his brow furrowed even more. The muscles of the wound were broken irregularly, which was obviously not caused by a sharp object, but was torn by a huge force. Looking at this, Zero carefully stood up and turned to leave. He decided to give up the hunt, and when there was an unknown and great danger nearby, Zero didn't think he had the heart to kill a pack of corpse wolves.

When I turned to leave, I stepped on something. The touch of the foreign object made Zero stop, and he looked down to see an iron plaque falling into the bloody mud at his feet.

Zero picked it up, and the thumb-sized piece of iron was engraved with lines of English. It's just that the English has been badly worn, and Zero only sees the two letters "ha". I don't know what that means, but there is no doubt that it will carry something with an english sign on it, and it will definitely not be a corpse wolf or some other beast. That could be a man, someone who could tear an adult male wolf apart with his bare hands!

Dropping the sign into his backpack, Zero exits the cave. As soon as his front feet stepped on the sand outside the cave, Zero heard a scream of a corpse wolf coming from below. Zero's heart tightened, and lightning rushed forward. He hid behind the rocks and looked at Xiangxia.

A river of blood!

Corpse wolves lay on the ground, their corpses all sorts of strange things. Some had their stomachs torn open, some had their entire heads twisted off and crooked to one side, some were strangled by the large intestine pulled out of their bodies, and some had strange twists in their limbs. It was an asymmetrical massacre, and judging by the bloody methods, the murderer should belong to the same person who killed the corpse wolf in the cave.

The roar of a corpse wolf was heard in the distance, and Zero Yao saw that at the end of the canyon, more than a dozen adult male wolves were besieging a figure. Zero changed his gaze, and by the time he caught the figure, the battle was over.

There is no doubt that it is a person. It's just that he was holding a wolf corpse in his hand to block his face, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly. I saw him pull the wolf's head and neck with both hands, and then use a force to separate the corpse.

The wolf corpse was casually thrown by him, but it was thrown in the direction of Zero, occupying Zero's field of vision. When the wolf's corpse hit the ground, the man was gone.

After 10 minutes, Zero appeared on the scene.

He didn't dare to come over rashly, and his first-order defense-strengthened body couldn't withstand the huge force of the other party's ability to tear apart the corpse wolf at will. Therefore, after judging that there is no danger, zero cautiously approaches. He quickly checked the site and found nothing of value other than minced meat all over the floor.

He ignored the corpse wolf, and Zero left the canyon, galloping as fast as he could, in the direction of the base. He had to report everything he had seen to Old Jack that such a dangerous humanoid creature had appeared near the base, and it was clear that this was no ordinary situation.

When there was still a kilometer or so to go from the base, Zero suddenly stopped.

Just on the side of the road, a corpse wolf collapsed in a pool of blood, its limbs still twitching, apparently just dead, and its nerves had not completely ceased to move.

The feeling of danger in Zero Heart is even stronger.

That thing, it's approaching base!
