As soon as they entered the village, a dozen and a half children ran out of their houses screaming and cheering, and then circled around a few of them. Betsy's face was a little embarrassed, and he said to them, "Go, go, this time I stopped by and came back, but I didn't bring you any gifts." ”

Although there was a slight look of disappointment on the little faces, the children then ran away with a grin. Zero looked at the man in front of him strangely, Betsy pulled the brim of the cowboy hat with her hand, lowered her head and whispered, "The resources in the village are very limited, and we have to compete with the mutant beasts for territory. For as long as I was sensible, everyone's life has not passed. It wasn't until I yujian him that I was able to use the money I earned from him to improve the village. Now everyone's life is much better than before, but unfortunately, I can't help them a lot. ”

Zero looked him up and down as he had met Betsy on the first day, and the latter laughed, "Don't look at me like that." I can be ruthless to people in the outside world, but I can't do it with these people. And if it weren't for them, I think I'd have become a madman like Pedriffine. At least, with these families, I don't feel empty. ”

Zero silence.

Indeed, if there is no tie and checks and balances on the huge liliang, people will go crazy. The main reason is the feeling of emptiness in my heart that is like a black hole that constantly eats away at my heart. In order to fill the emptiness in their hearts, many people have become madmen who only know how to kill or indulge, but these things will never fill the hole in their hearts.

So the hole will only get bigger and bigger, and in the end, it can't help but swallow others and bury yourself.

The bald man, who had stopped a few people on the watchtower, walked up to Betsy's side with a machine gun on his shoulder, and then looked at them cautiously. Betsy said lightly: "That's rude, Lavel, they're my guests." ”

"All right, guest. It's the first time you've brought guests here in so many years, and it's really unusual. Ravel gave Betsy a punch: "How long are you going to stay this time? Maya must be happy to die knowing that you are back, huh"

Betsy punched the big man and pushed him back a few steps, and Zero held him down from behind to keep him from falling. This was the reason for Ravel's surprise, he looked Betsy up and down and frowned, "Are you hurt?"

Ravelle was the toughest man in the village except for Betsy, but he only possessed a fourth-order liliang. And he knew that Betsy was an eighth-order powerhouse, not to mention receiving a punch from him, even if he stood and let him punch ten or a hundred punches, he would not frown. But now, a light punch made the man back again and again. The weakness that emanated from Betsy's body was clearly transmitted to the man's head through Ravel's fist. He was curious, who could get Betsy hurt?

Betsy smiled bitterly, but jokingly said, "yes, it's a pretty serious injury." I don't plan to leave again when I come back this time, you will all have to support me in the future, just take it as the interest I helped you before. ”

"What a stupid thing to say, as long as we have something to eat, we will definitely not lose any of you. But this hurts"

"Don't ask my friend. Betsy said lightly: "I remember that you should have to go hunting at this time of year, the active period of those wild beasts is almost coming to an end in the year, I remember that there are several mountain wolf dens nearby, you seem to have to clean them up first." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll get a few boys and leave. Greet Maya for me. Lavelle smiled innocently and waved goodbye.

"He always talks a lot, but he's a nice person. In my absence, he took care of Maya for me. By the way, Maya is my wife. Betsy smiled heartily as she said this. As if thinking of something, he added, "I'm sorry, she doesn't know what I'm doing out there, so if I can, I hope."

"I just want that thing, and we don't talk too much. Zero interrupted him and said lightly.

Betsy marched, and then said sincerely, "Xiexie." ”

He walked through most of the village with a few people, and almost everyone who met Betsy, young and old, greeted him. Judging by the kind smiles on everyone's faces, Betsy was loved by them in the village. After all, everything this man has earned from working hard outside has been used in this village, and naturally no one will dislike him.

Eventually, they stopped in front of the only two-story house in the village. On the balcony on the second floor, a woman was drying clothes. Her movements are not sharp, on the contrary, she is very sluggish. Both hands always had to fumble for something, and only after they were sure did they drape the clothes over a wooden pole. However, her hearing is very keen, and she is on the second floor, but she hears footsteps downstairs.

So the woman lowered her head, and it was a graceful face. It's not pretty, but it's very fresh and gives people a very comfortable feeling. She has long, flaxen-colored hair with a soft hair color, which is exactly the same as her temperament. It's just that her big eyes were dazed, and she looked down but didn't know who was coming, and the woman smiled and asked, "Is it Ravelle? Don't pretend, I heard your footsteps." ”

Betsy's eyes darkened.

Zero looked at the woman, and then at Betsy, who said lightly: "Maya, she was born in a cave, and it can be said that her childhood was spent in a dark environment, so her eyes have deteriorated."

Although Betsy's voice was not high, the woman upstairs had already heard it. Her expression froze, and tears burst out of her eyes with the size of a bean: "Betsy, is Betsy you?"

"It's me, dear!" said Betsy in a loud voice, "I'm back, and I'll never leave you again!"

The woman screamed with joy, then turned and groped her way into the house. Moments later, the downstairs door opened, and Maya ran out and rushed into Betsy's arms. Seeing the two of them hugging each other tightly, Zero Three was speechless.

Sometimes, happiness doesn't have to be a squander of money, or an endless amount of liliang, or the supreme ruler of power. Happiness can sometimes be a trivial thing, such as two people who love each other being able to hug each other tightly. For them, this moment is blissful.

It's like these two people hugging each other in front of Zero, even if the next moment shijie is destroyed. At least at this point, it is enough to be able to listen to each other's heartbeats and feel each other's body temperatures.

After a long time, the two were reluctant to separate. Maya realized that Betsy had not come back on her own, and asked in surprise, "Who are these?"

"My friend. Maya, go and get us dinner. Betsy said with a smile.

Maya nodded happily, "Betsy has never brought a friend back." Great, Betsy, you take these friends to the living room first, and I'll go prepare dinner right away. It just so happened that last night Ravel gave me some wolf meat, and I marinated it, just enough to make a steak for you to eat. ”

Excitedly beckoning a few people into the house, Maya went to the kitchen to get busy. The living room in the house is not big, and the decoration is very ordinary, but it is warm everywhere. Whether it is the hand-woven cloth mat, or the flower basket woven by himself, or a handful of wildflowers placed in the flower basket, the owner's intentions are everywhere. In Zero's view, these things are more extraordinarily valuable than expensive goods.

Betsy's eyes showed a faint soft light, and her fingers stroked over the handful of fresh wildflowers: "She is always like this, obviously she can't see with her eyes, but she can always arrange the warmest picture of the house." You know? Every time I want to leave, it feels like a cruel choice. ”

"If I did, I would feel the same way. A warm home, a woman who loves you. Such wealth, I would rather exchange the whole shijie for it. Zero said lightly.

Betsy nodded: "yes, but unfortunately a lot of the time we can't help it. So every time I would leave cruelly, but now I have no choice but to stay forever. ”

When she said this, Betsy felt a sense of relief.

Kaede coughed dryly and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Betsy." Do you think you should give us that important thing first, and then you and Madame will have a good time?"

Betsy slapped her head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot to get down to business." Wait a minute. ”

With that, he walked to the door, crouched down, and lifted off the carpet at the entrance. Betsy groped on the ground, pressing down with her hands. A palm-sized floor tile collapsed, and a dark compartment opened. Betsy reached into the dark grid on the ground, and a moment later picked up a box.

He didn't hide the whole process, and after closing the dark compartment, Betsy put the box on the table in the living room and moved it to Zero's eyes.

Zero opens the box, and inside is a file accessor. Betsy said, "Every time I communicate, I make a backup and store it in this little thing. You can take it and see it, and if it is sent back to Asgard for jishu identification, it can be used as evidence to point against him. ”

After a pause, Betsy said solemnly, "But I prefer you can kill him on the battlefield, you know, it doesn't do you any harm to me, does it?"

"Xiexie your evidence. Zero picked it up and handed it to Kaede.

Kaede took out a pocket brain and connected the accessor. Zero continued: "But how to deal with it, I can't give you an accurate answer right now. All I can say is, try not to get you in trouble. Not for you, but for your wife. ”

Betsy smiled slightly, then nodded vigorously, "Xiexie." I've never brought anyone to this place, though, and he won't know I'm hiding here. But you should take it as a piece of advice to me. Don't let him open the realm, if you have to fight, you must kill him with all your strength at the first time!"

At this time, images began to be generated in Kaede's brain. He moved his brain to Zero's eyes, and Zero directly used fast forward, anyway, with the speed at which his brain was processing data, he could record all these images in the way of browsing. In just a few minutes, Zero had already gone through a large number of communication logs. In these videos, although Tyre has always avoided allowing himself to appear in the window, he has even modified his appearance through the instrument. I have to say that this person is very cautious, even if he communicates with his subordinates, he has modified his voice and appearance. However, no matter how much the voice or appearance is modified, it can still be restored if it is compared with a sophisticated instrument.

Besides, even the most astute people can be negligent, and in these years-long correspondence records, there happen to be one or two images that expose Tyr's true colors. And that's what Betsy used to protect himself, but now he's handed it over to Zero.

After reading it, Zero nodded with satisfaction. With this evidence in hand, he was not afraid of Tyr's denial. All that was to worry was Douglas's intentions if he wanted to expand his territory with the help of Tyre. Then this war will not only not be ended, but will become more and more intense.

When the time comes, how should Zero Double deal with itself?

There is no answer to this question for the time being, and now we can only take one step at a time.

Soon after, a strong smell of meat came from the kitchen. Maya poked out of the kitchen and said, "Betsy, help me clean up the table, I'll be ready to eat soon." ”

"Haode, dear. Betsy said happily.

Night falls.

A few people haven't eaten much in order to travel these days. On the way, they either used nutrients to satisfy their hunger, or they randomly brought a few snow beasts and roasted them indiscriminately. It's just to satisfy hunger, but it's not delicious. But tonight's meat steak cooked by Maya is different, after being beaten and marinated with the meat of the mountain wolf, and then cooked over a warm fire, the meat steak is not only delicious, but also exudes the fragrance of condiments, which makes people can't help but move their index fingers when they smell it.

After eating this meal, Feng alone ate four cutlets. His gobbling up looked like he hadn't eaten in months, and Zuihou couldn't even stand it. If he hadn't coughed dryly, I'm afraid that when Maya smiled and pushed his steak towards Kaede, this guy would have shamelessly taken it all.

After finishing the meal, Zero got up and said goodbye. When Maya heard that they were leaving, she was surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry, it's getting late now." It's not safe to walk at night in the mountains, so you might as well stay for the night and wait until dawn tomorrow to go. ”

For this kind and docile woman, Zero had a good impression of herself, so she smiled and said, "No, we still have something urgent to deal with, so we won't bother you and Mr. Betsy." ”

"This"

Maya wanted to say something, but Betsy tapped her mouth with her finger and said softly, "Just let them go." Don't underestimate them, each of them has a liliang that is not lost to me. ”

Hearing that Betsy was so good, the hospitable woman nodded and said, "Okay, then please be careful." ”

Betsy and Maya had been dropping them off at the entrance of the village, and as the three of them had gone away, Maya's soft laughter could be heard in her ears, as if Betsy had said something to make her happy. Zero smiled slightly, this village does make people feel very warm. Zero wished they could remain on their own forever, and by the time they returned to the foothills of Mount Tulash, the smile on Zero's face had faded.

For him, Betsy and Maya, and the village, were just a small episode in his life. Probably homely, and never forgotten in the future. However, when he re-sets foot on Mount Tulash, the cruel Shijie awaits him again!
