[Thank you for the monthly passes of the three brothers Mu Shui, Seven Points, and Tianyu Youshen, xiexie support!

Under the goggles, Zero's gaze kept moving over the double-barreled shotgun. The sight has passed through the jet-black, but the walls of the tube have been visibly worn out of the old shotgun. Then came a pair of mud-stained hands, the hands were very slender and did not look like a man's hands. And the downward movement of the gaze confirms the judgment of zero. The sleeves of the plaid shirt were rolled up at the top of the arms, and the collar of the shirt was old, and even some of the buttons were falling off, so that the collar was fastened and flare wide at the end.

There is a delicate collarbone under the neckline, which rises and falls with the owner's breathing, and the two points on the chest can be seen. It's just that the chest is obviously not full, indicating that she is still a green apple, not a ripe cherry.

Zero's gaze left her chest and continued upward, past her slender neck, finally fixed on a pretty face. Her long eyelashes fluttered, indicating that she was scared, and her big turquoise eyes betrayed her. The depths of the girl's eyes shone with fear, so that her delicate lips were tightly pursed in a strange arc, and her face was pale, so that the little freckles that set off the sides of her cheeks became more pronounced.

At first glance, Zero thought he saw Moni. Because this girl is the same age as Moni, but she lacks Moni's composure, and she has a short haircut.

A girl with short pale yellow hair wears a goggle on her head that is clearly not hers. The goggles are pinned to the forehead, and judging from the style, they should only be used for ordinary sunshade, without any other special functions. The short-haired girl held her shotgun aloft, and a childish voice sounded from her mouth: "You, who are you?

Zero smiled, and the figure that followed him blurred in the girl's eyes. In a blurred moment, two zeros pounced from the left and right. The girl screamed, and the shotgun moved left and right, not knowing which was the real target.

It wasn't until some cold fingers lightly rested on her delicate neck that the girl suddenly realized that her target had arrived behind her.

Zero stood behind the girl, and the other's head only came to his chest, so Zero's arm was lowered, but the palm of his hand was naturally pressed lightly against the girl's neck. As long as he wants, he can break this slender neck at any time.

With his other hand pressed on the shotgun, Zero said softly: "The next time you pick an opponent, remember to shoot as soon as you catch the opponent." Otherwise, it will be the situation it is now. ”

As he spoke, Zero stroked his fingers over the shotgun. The shotgun shook slightly, and then scattered into parts.

Seeing the parts on the ground, the girl screamed and kicked her legs on the spot. Her legs are long and soft, so when she kicks up, her toes point straight to Zero's chest.

Zero let out a "huh", obviously surprised, but it did not prevent him from catching it with one hand, and instantly grabbed the girl's ankle.

The skin on the tentacles was so smooth that Zero could even feel the veins under the skin roaring powerfully.

The potential of the girl is good. At the same time that Zero made such a judgment, the girl used Zero's ankle as a fulcrum, instantly got rid of Zero's other hand and bounced off the ground, and the remaining long-legged lightning kicked out, sweeping Zero's face.

So when Agatha and the others squeezed through the crack in the door of the mining area, they saw a small figure constantly attacking Zero with all kinds of powerful kicks. It's just that for Zero, such an attack is still in his eyes. So after a while, he had already subdued the girl, and Zero did not play hand-to-hand combat with the girl, but felt the golden war eagle and pointed it on the girl's forehead, which made the girl quiet.

"What a little pepper!" Kaede whistled.

Agatha was surprised: "Liliang, defense, and agility have all reached the level of the first order. I didn't expect there to be such a little ghost here. ”

Hearing Agatha's words, Zero was also slightly surprised. The little guy in the Z7 base who has three basic abilities in the fighting domain, although they are only the first order, is surprising enough. He slowly withdrew his pistol and said, "Well, I can tell you who you think we are, and it will never be what you think." Now stop making dangerous moves, so introduce yourself, my name is Zero. ”

When the girl heard Zero's name, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Your name is Zero? You are the Zero who left the Z7 base before?"

"If there's no one else to call zero after I'm gone, I think I am. Zero was surprised again, when did he become a celebrity?

"Is it really you?" the fear in the girl's eyes had been swept away, replaced by excitement: "They told me that there used to be a great guy at the base. He was still a hillbilly at the Z7 base, but soon after leaving the base, he became a celebrity. ”

"They don't know how many times they've told me about your confrontation with the Parkland chaebol. They say that no one has ever dared to do this to those noble lords, except you. As she spoke, the girl's eyes began to misge: "It's a pity that they are all dead." Captain Neo, Jace, Kerson and a lot of other people......"

"That's what I'm here for, and if you could, I'd like you to tell me what's going on at this base?"

The girl raised her head and asked in a loud voice, "Will you avenge everyone?"

Zero nodded heavily.

"Then I'll tell you, I'm ......" Suddenly, the girl's stomach sounded with a "grunt" sound, and she showed an embarrassed expression: "Do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry, I haven't eaten for three days." ”

Zero immediately turned to Kaede and said, "Go get food and water." ”

Kaede nodded and turned to leave. Zero took the girl out of the mine, it wasn't a good place to eat and chat. As he walked to the gate, one of Berrien's Thunder Guards looked at the girl's slender figure, his eyes lit up, he reached out and slapped the girl's ass and said, "The little girl should do a good job." ”

But the man's hand slapped into the air, as Zero had pulled her aside. Zero looked at the Thunder Guard and said expressionlessly, "I found her first, and I don't allow you or anyone else to touch her." Otherwise, I will see it as a provocation. ”

With that, Zero pulled the confused girl through the gate.

The Thunder Guard's face immediately turned vermilion, and he looked at Berrien. Berrien said lightly: "He's right, this is the rule, you and I have to abide by the rules." ”

The full members of the Hammer of Doom have their own personal property, which can include estate, funds, soldiers, or women. In the case of women, if they are found in the wilderness, then the principle of whoever discovers first has it is followed. Of course, the so-called principles of the turbulent era are nothing more than a null and void if they are not supported by a strong liliang.

Therefore, it is permissible to challenge this rule among members, or between subordinates and superiors, as long as you can afford to pay the price.

The Thunder Guard has a fifth-order liliang and defense, and is already a fierce man for ordinary people. But as long as you have a brain, you will know that such a liliang is not enough to provoke a captain of the Hammer of Doom. Even if Zero's abilities aren't known for head-on confrontation, his agile movement and powerful weapons are enough to make the Thunder Guard want to provoke him.

So the Thunder Guard just "hummed" heavily to express his unwillingness, but there were no other superfluous words.

――――――I'm the dividing line, quack――――――

"My name is Haiwei......" the girl squeezed a tube of nutrients into her mouth, and then showed a disgusted expression. Admittedly, the nutrient tastes no different from toothpaste, but it fills your stomach, and that's enough. Then the girl took a sip of clean water, then exhaled and continued: "Hevi Joe Elizabeth, I wandered to base Z7 with my brother two months ago and stayed here temporarily. ”

When talking about her brother, the girl Haiwei's eyes were misty again, and it seemed that her brother had suffered an accident.

"Your fighting skills are not bad, who do you learn from?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Kaede on the side opened the topic. People in this era are usually relatively strong, and the hardships of life have long made people's hearts as strong as steel, otherwise they would not be able to live in this turbulent era. The same is true for the teenage girl Haiwei, who has survived the loss of her loved ones and friends, although she is saddened by the loss of her relatives and friends. Hearing Kaede praise herself, Hai Wei proudly puffed up her not full chest, and patted her chest like a man: "It was Captain Neo who taught me, and he said that my legs are long, which is very suitable for practicing kicking skills." ”

He's right. A hearty voice interjected, but it was Johnny who walked with Agatha and said, "Your legs are very slender and the musculature is evenly distributed, which makes you have a strong explosive power, and it is indeed suitable for all kinds of kicking skills." Well, do you want me to be your teacher, I also know a little bit about kicking skills. ”

As he spoke, Johnny landed on one leg and unleashed lightning-fast kicks such as sweeps, throat stabs, hooks, forward kicks, and downstrokes. Johnny's several kicking skills were used in a row, and the changes were unpredictable, which dazzled Haiwei, and the light of worship gradually surged in her eyes.

Indeed, in the zero industry, Johnny, who is a master of fighting, is the most qualified person to become Haiwei's teacher. What's even more rare is that Johnny doesn't look down on Haiwei because of her identity, after all, not everyone in a base is willing to teach her martial arts skills, even if she does have a talent for kicking.

Haiwei was also a smart girl, and when she saw that Zero and the others were well-equipped, including Zero, there were seven or eight powerful people, she knew that they must belong to a powerful organization or chaebol. If Johnny was her teacher, she would be able to follow these people for a while. In this way, both life and safety are guaranteed.

So Johnny finished speaking, and Haiwei had already nodded hurriedly, for fear that Johnny would regret it.

Johnny looked at Zero and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the little ones." ”

The implication is naturally to let Zero not have to worry that he will look at Hai Wei's body. Zero nodded, looking at Haiwei, and Zero remembered Moni. The girl who left with the teenager Gurutan, I don't know what happened now?

"So Haiwei, can you tell us what happened to this base?"

Agatha's voice brought Zero back to his senses, and he looked at Hevi as well. The short-haired girl's eyes became profound, as if she was caught in some memory: "That morning, I woke up in a deep sleep as usual. My brother is ready to work in the mines, and I have a much better job than my brother because of my first-order ability. My job is to be a junior guard at the base, and even though I am a recruit, everyone including Captain Neo takes good care of me......"

"I got up and had breakfast, and then I went to the guardhouse to report. Because the shift was in the afternoon, I went to the driving range as usual to practice the skills taught by Captain Neo, and I remember that it was noon, and I was just about to leave after completing three sets of training when I heard the alarm sounding at the base. As soon as I left the driving range, I received an order from Captain Neo to evacuate the workers from the mine. As she said this, Haiwei's big eyes began to glow with fear: "But when I came to the mine, they had already killed me. It's a living corpse, and there are butchers and rippers inside. These monsters are not something that a garrison team in the base can contend with, and Captain Neo and they have a fierce exchange of fire with these monsters, but they fight and retreat to the mine. When he saw me in the crowd, he told me and everyone else to hide in the mine and close the mine gates!"

"I did as he was told, and just as I was about to close the gate at the back of the mine, a butcher attacked me. I was panicking and didn't know what to do when someone pushed me away. It's my brother, and after he knocked me away, he was stoned to death by the butcher!"

Agatha sighed softly and pulled the poor girl into her arms. After crying for a while, Haiwei gradually stopped crying and continued: "Things were very chaotic after that, I remember that although the gate was closed, there were living corpses constantly burrowing into the mine. A lot of people died, and the monsters even destroyed the operating platform and stopped the gate from closing. I hid with many people, many of them hid in the mines, and Zuihou was found by the living corpses. It's just me...... I'm the only one who survived......"

"Where are you hiding?" asked Zero.

Haiwei pointed upward: "Ventilation pipe." I was a little skinny and hid in the mine's ventilation ducts. Sure enough, those monsters didn't expect someone to hide in the ventilation pipes, so I didn't find them. After that, I hid in the ventilation pipe for two days, and because of this, I saw strange things. ”

"What's that?" Agatha asked.

"Man, the one who can get along with the living corpse, they call him a guide!" replied Hevy.

This sentence made Zero and the others look at each other, and it was the first time they had heard that living corpses would get along with people. The attentive Agatha said, "Wait, you call him a guide." That is, living corpses speak the language of humans?"

Haiwei hesitated, "I don't know if that thing counts as a living corpse, but it's a monster, and it's right to speak human language." ”

"Can you describe what it looks like?" said Zero, with a stir in his heart.

Haiwei nodded, gestured with her hand, and said, "It looks taller and fatter than other living corpses, and even the butcher is a little shorter than it." It looks like a big fat man, yes, a fat man. Strangely enough, though, it speaks human language. I was hiding in the ventilation duct and saw it talking to a man on a working platform outside the mine, who was spreading out a map on the ground and pointing out to the fat man what human bases were heading north from base Z7. The fat man seemed to have spotted me, and looked at me, and I was frightened and left, not hearing what they were saying. It was only during the conversation that I heard the fat man call the man the guide. ”

The fat man that Haiwei said in her mouth was not much different from the creator Gurad they had seen. And before he died, Gurad sent out the language of humanity to Zero. Therefore, there is no doubt that the fat man who visited the Z7 base is the creator, which is also the reason why Agatha sensed the energy traces left by the creator in the Z7 base.

"As soon as I left the ventilation duct above the work area, I hid at the driving range. Unexpectedly, not long after I hid in a equipment warehouse in the driving range, I heard a loud movement outside. At that time, I was hiding behind the door and watching, and I saw the living corpses moving everyone's corpses in, and I thought it was very strange, could it be that the living corpses would still bury everyone? At that time, I was thinking so, and the big fat man came in. Hai Wei showed a disgusted expression and said, "That fat man has a lot of tentacles growing on his body, and it has rolled many corpses into his body. It turned out that the living corpses gathered everyone's corpses in order to facilitate the fat man to devour everyone's corpses. But the fat man didn't eat everyone's corpses, he left nearly half of them, and then screamed at the other living corpses. The cry was supposed to be a command, just as the Living Monarch commanded his servants, and the other living corpses heard it and pounced on the remaining corpses. Outcome...... The rest of the corpses have been transformed!"

"Converted?" Zero muttered, "I see, we found those empty bases along the way, and the dead were either used as food by the creators or transformed into the same kind. Like the transformed inhabitants of Remut, they are the lowest soldiers, and when necessary, the energy and materials that the creators need to produce other biological weapons!"

"It's the most convenient and cheapest way I've ever seen to supply supplies. Agatha smiled wryly, but the others couldn't.

As Agatha said, kill, eat, transform. The creator took advantage of this convenient supply method to sweep through the thirty or so bases, replenishing energy like locusts crossing the border, and at the same time creating a steady stream of lowest-level soldiers. It is conceivable that if there is no certain number of capable people stationed there, ordinary settlements or bases with insufficient garrisons will be like ready-made supply depots in the eyes of the living corpses!

"After all the corpses were transformed, the guide said like a fat man that he wanted to leave, he said that he had to go back to the Eye of the Flames, and the place didn't seem very comfortable to listen to. Haiwei emphasized.

"That's true. Agatha muttered, "The Eye of Flames is a human settlement behind the Twin Towers, a city built on the ruins of the ground. Underneath the city is an active volcanic belt with extremely high temperatures all year round. The location of the city is right in a gap beyond the magma underground, hence the name of the Eye of Flames. ”

After hearing this, Zero said lightly: "Looks like we have to go there." Since the Guide can bring the Creator to the shoreline, we can make him a guide to the Kingdom of the Living Dead!"
