Volume 1 The Lawless Land Chapter 23 The Wilderness

Updated: 2012-07-12

If it were a competition for speed and reflexes, Zero was no match for Hans. But when it comes to combat experience and calculations, Zero is far above him.

The narrow emergency passage is not an emergency choice, and the battle of Zero is always based on reason and strategy. On the battlefield, impulsiveness can only cost lives. On the contrary, calculations and strategies are the tools for survival.

The narrow passage is not conducive to combat, but here, the zero can reduce the hit surface in at least one direction.

He leaned against the wall to one side, shooting in front and to the side with one hand. But he knew that Hans, whose agility was far above him, would be able to avoid it in advance. In addition to the front and side directions, the only place where Hans Zuihou can move is his rear.

So Zero waited there with another pistol and fed Hans a bullet. It's the difference between a seasoned veteran and a rookie, and it's the result of careful calculations, not just luck.

Zero never believed in luck.

After giving Hans one shot, he made up several more shots, which hit Hans in the head and heart. This is based on the judgment of the structure of the creature's body, no matter what kind of mutated creature, if the nerves in the brain are severed and the heart is destroyed, then no matter how strong it is, it should die.

But looking at Hans, who had become a blur of flesh and blood, Zero was not sure. The pinprick under the garment had not gone away, indicating that the danger was still there. But he really didn't understand what kind of monster Hans had to turn into in order to survive such an injury that would kill an ordinary person a hundred times.

Obviously, Hans's body structure is outside of the common sense of zero. Watching the broken skull heal again, and the flesh tendons growing from the blasted chest, Zero frowned, and turned to leave the emergency passage.

The Tavern wasn't the right battleground, but that's okay, Zero would personally find a suitable battlefield for himself and Hans.

Coming out of the emergency passage, Leah was no longer in the tavern. Zero is a little relieved, Leah is a smart girl, and she must know that her presence will hold Zero back. In this way, Zero can concentrate on dealing with Hans.

Although this is the intention, it is not clear who will deal with whom. Just as Zero left the emergency passage, the door of the passage suddenly cracked. A figure crashed out of it, it was Hans, or maybe not.

Zero looked at Hans in front of him.

He'd seen Hans's broken flesh repair through multiplication before, but now the repair process was a bit too much. Hans's wounds had been filled with new flesh, but the multiplication movement had not stopped. The excess flesh and bones supported Hans's not strong body, and the skin that wrapped around the body could no longer support the growth of muscles, so the muscles with red and white meat plates took on the most primitive texture under Zero's eyes.

Hans's body, the upper half of the body has nearly doubled, but the lower half of the body still retains its original appearance. It's unimaginable how the thin lower body can support the upper body that has become like a violent bear. Bone spurs protruded from Hans's skull and extended in rows to the back of the head, back and to the femoral vertebrae.

Hans, who looked like this, no longer looked like a human, but looked like a monster.

He yelled at Zero, "I'm going to tear you apart, GI. And then eat what you don't have left. ”

"If you can do it, just come here. Zero said defiantly, turning around and running out of the tavern, running through the passage of the base at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Behind him was Hans's roar, and footsteps like galloping horses. It's just that the drastic change in body shape has slowed down Hans's speed slightly, and the conditioned reflexes of the nerves are not as sensitive as when they were humanoid. As a result, whenever he passed through a bend in the passage, Hans would crash straight into the alloy wall, then break free and chase after Zero.

In this way, the speed of going to zero is faster.

Neither the tavern nor the rest of the base is a suitable battlefield. Hans's liliang and recovery abilities determined that Zero would not be able to engage in hand-to-hand combat with him. And if you want to snipe from a distance, I'm afraid the wilderness outside the base is more suitable.

Therefore, Zero did not stop, and rushed towards the exit of the base. As he walked past Alan's body, he picked up the young soldier's sniper rifle and opened the safety lock to press the bullet into his chamber. Alan didn't have time to shoot the bullets, and Zero decided to give them to Hans.

Zero absolutely does not believe that there are undead creatures in this world, and if there is, I am afraid that the human race will be extinct, and there will be no Z7 base. In other words, Hans's body structure is just a mutation, and all Zero has to do is find out his weaknesses and kill him in one hit!

In the blink of an eye, the exit is in sight.

Zero quickly typed the command "open the door" on the operating platform, and with the roar of the hydraulic machine, the gate of the base was first indented three meters inside, and then separated in the center. When the door revealed a crack in the door through which only one person had passed, Zero did not hesitate to burrow into the dazzling sunlight in the crack of the door.

When Hans came after him, the door was halfway open. Already a monster, he twitched his nose hard, and after catching the faint smell, he roared and ran out, like a humanoid tank galloping towards the infinite wilderness outside the base.

This massacre of Jihua in the base, Hans has been preparing for a long time. Two years ago, he was kicked out of the base by Old Jack and roamed the wilderness. Because his records have been uploaded to the database of the Parkland chaebol through the computer, and even other companies and bases share normal-level information through certain contracts, they will also be notified that Hans is infected with the virus.

Therefore, in the land of Middle-earth, don't expect a base or company to take Hans in. Of course, settlements that do not exist in any way may be an exception. Because those places often don't have a good computer network and equipment to check for viruses, Hans can't get into it. It's just a colony that is not bound by rules, and if the inhabitants of it find out that Hans is sick, he will definitely be chopped up and fed to the corpse wolf.

As a result, Hans could only roam the wilderness. Several times he nearly died at the clutches of a wolf or other mutated creature, but Hans survived. When he was already desperate, the opportunity for change appeared in him. Through a gift from an adult, Hans was given something called a "nuclear", and then he became what he is now.

It has two enhancement abilities, Liliang and Agility, and has the ability to regenerate and proliferate bones. However, the Lord told him that he was not a Stranger in the true sense of the word, and that he was not a deviant creature. Hans's power comes entirely from the mysterious substance, the nucleus.

Next, the adult mysteriously disappeared. Before leaving, he only let Hans do what he wanted.

And for Hans, there is nothing more important than revenge on the Z7 base. So he came back and waited patiently for his chance. After wandering outside the base for more than half a month, Hans carefully killed one of the soldiers during one of the daily patrols of the base soldiers this morning, and used his clothes and identification to infiltrate the base.

Then, a massacre unfolded.

It's just that now Jihua is not complete, and there are still some miners who have safely stayed in the mine because of the partition of the work area gate. And even in the base, there are Leah and Zero who have not been killed.

Especially Zero, the man Hans found out of the hibernation chamber in the first place, is now challenging Hans's bottom line.

Hans's head hurt, and his nerves felt like they were on fire. Just now in the emergency tunnel, Zero accurately hit him in the chest and shot him in the head and heart. Hans was really scared, and he didn't know what the limit of damage he could withstand. But when he recovered again, his fear turned to anger.

In my head, it looks like something is broken. That kind of thing is called sanity, and now Hans is bent on killing Zero.

Kill this man who gives him a sense of danger.

But he didn't realize that when he lost the shackles of reason, he had embarked on a very dangerous path.

The head hurts, the sun in the wilderness is glaring, and the damn man. Where exactly are you?

Hans roared, not noticing that his voice had become the howl of some kind of monster.

A bullet came from nowhere, and it pierced Hans's head accurately. The kinetic energy of the bullet lifted half of Hans's head, and in the blood mist of the canopy, Hans was unstable by the huge impact force, and he stumbled to the other side, and fell on the road of the cracked road.

A moment later, the sound of a sniper rifle could be heard in the distance, like zero mockery.

This is the wilderness, danger can happen at any time, and death is always near you!
