In the five-meter-high culture tank, the back of the composite glass is filled with turquoise liquid. From time to time, a series of vapors rise and die in these genetic fluids, as if demonstrating the short trajectory of life.

Life is indeed short, even if the lifespan of human beings is already at the top of the gene chain, but the life of seventy or eighty years or even hundreds of years can still be described as "passing away like morning dew" in the eyes of nature. And the arrival of the cataclysm has directly shortened the life span of this special one, which is not very long-lived, by nearly half.

But this is also for ordinary people, as for this layer of shackles, it does not work for the able. Ability people usually have about twice the lifespan of ordinary people, while high-level ability people can have five times or even more. At least for Zero, after Agradis unraveled the mystery of the universe and learned that energy is the origin of the universe, Zero's lifespan could no longer be measured by instruments.

Cells that age or die can be regenerated using endless amounts of energy. In other words, as long as energy exists, zero is eternal.

It's not a concept, it's not a possibility, it's a real fact. Of course, Zero still needs to continue to work hard, try to evolve, and try to get more Liliang. One of them is to unlock all the genetic locks on Gold's right eye.

Agrantis's creation even admired the will of the planet, and in order to make Zero play a bigger liliang, Agladis made some adjustments to the golden right eye and Zero's body. In the second-level clearance opened by the right eye of gold, it has the effect of continuously absorbing light sources from nature and converting them into energy, and Agrandis further expands this effect.

He transformed Zero's heart, turning the original backward organs of human beings into efficient energy mechanisms. The appearance of the polymeric nucleus crystals allows Zero to be systematically associated with the Golden Right Eye, unlike Kaede or Eva, who are themselves and the Atlantean creations.

These things, as well as the ability to materialize energy, were gifts from Agradis. It's just that the gift is not without a price, Zero's growth, is to become the ultimate weapon to kill Prosius. Regardless of whether he wants to be or not, this is his inescapable fate. If he wants not to lose his lover and partner around him again.

For example, in front of me, there is a girl sleeping quietly.

Leah.

When rì and Zero left the Z7 base together to travel, the girl who gave up her life for Zero is now floating in the genetic fluid of the culture tank. This is a physical body that is extracted from Leah's blood and copied by a series of genes. She has the same body as Leah, and with the new era in the genetic biochemistry of Jishu, it is possible to perfectly clone Leah's memories and feelings before her death.

Or maybe it's because of the sudden shortening of human lifespan. In the new era, the most important technologies are genes and purification.

"I can't see the difference, in fact, she's completely indistinguishable from your little girlfriend. No matter from the heart to the **, they are all the same. So when Leah woke up, she would only think she had slept for herself. After a long sleep, her name is Leah, right, I should be right. ”

Dressed in loose white sè overalls, Eva wears flat glasses and looks like something special. She has a ballpoint pen in her mouth and a folder in her hand. Inside were some of the rì record sheets, and she looked at the data displayed by the gauges in the incubator and recorded them on a file, saying to Zero.

Rebirth Jihua has been going on for months, and with both the funds and materials secured, Leah's rebirth is going well. And if Jihua is successful, it means that Zero's team has at least one successful cloning experience, which is important. In this way, whether Zero or someone else dies in battle, as long as the genetic record is kept, then it can be regenerated by cloning Jishu.

Of course, even if it is to clone an incapable Leah, the funds and materials required are beyond the scope of ordinary people's affordability. And to resurrect a high-level ability like Zero, the resources needed are more likely to require the power of the city, and this is also an important reason for limiting the regeneration of the ability. Otherwise, they are truly immortal.

Although Zero doesn't want anyone to die in battle now, who knows what the future holds, and it's always okay to be prepared. (.) As for the funds, they naturally have to start accumulating now, otherwise Zero would not want to set up any company, and then have his own territory or even an empire.

Everything is just a preparation for the future. After all, their ultimate enemy is another planet that has swept across the universe, Will Prosius!

"How long will it take to get the memory import process?" asked Zero casually.

"It's hard to say, we had to do a series of tests to make sure that the newborn Leah is genetically stable. Only when the body is sound can it be necessary to import memories, otherwise everything will have to start all over again. Eva said as she drew a circle in mid-air with a ballpoint pen.

Zero nodded, and spread his hand again, and there was already a black sè diamond-shaped spar in his hand.

Eva's eyes suddenly widened, she was also a high-level ability, even if she was not good at the perception domain. But she could also feel the almost infinite energy contained in this spar, and she asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"The Black Crown. Zero said that he hadn't hidden anything about the True King and Jotunheim from Eva, so Eva knew no less than Kaede and Su, who had personally experienced the whole thing. Zero continued, "It is the source of the true king's energy and power. At the same time, it is also a backup of some of the biological weapon system drawings collected by Prossius. Prosius selected some biological weapons suitable for the earth's output and handed them to the True King, hoping that they would build biochemical kingdoms one by one. This is one of the weapons that records the part of the living corpse. You can try it out and see if we can build an army of living corpses with the resources we have at hand, and I think they will definitely be sharper than the one you had before, if possible. ”

Eva cheered and snatched the black crown with one hand, as if she was afraid that Zero would go back again. She was a biochemical and biological scientist before she was transformed into a god, and she was as obsessed with it as her abilities and liliang.

And she knew very well the weight of this black crown, which was simply a military blueprint, and Zero was given to her. The trust in it speaks for itself.

"By the way, if there's nothing to do with the lab lately, you can get ready, we'll have to go to the Cosaxes. Zero said, "I've taken the right to use the base, but there are some unfriendly neighbors there, and I think we need to clean it up." ”

Eva's eyes narrowed into a slit, and she said, "I knew that the hands of others were short, and you gave me the pitch-black crown so generously, it must not be such a haode." ”

Zero shrugged his shoulders and said undeniably, "In fact, you are the only one we have now who can send the Abyss Lord Anji Gulit away without having to spend so much money. ”

Eva picked up the black crown with two fingers and shook it in front of Zero's eyes, "It's okay if you want me to help, but I need some payment, and this thing is not enough." ”

Zero Half joked: "If a woman is too greedy, be careful not to marry." ”

"You don't have to worry about it, there are more people who want to marry me. Eva straightened up her proud twin peaks and said, "Don't change the subject, let's talk about our pay." ”

Zero could only shake his head and say: "Then how much money do you want to sell?" Explain in advance, I am also a poor person now, and that money is the company's start-up capital, but I can't give you too much." ”

"Are men so stingy?Besides, I don't want your money, I want it," Eva suddenly grabbed Zero and said, "Your people!"

Zero One didn't react.

Eva had already said loudly, "I'm going to do it with you again, oh no. Probably a few more times, I want to have one or two children with you. When this is done, I will leave with my children, and we will never see each other. ”

Zero was depressed, and after making trouble for a long time, Eva didn't want his people. Strictly speaking, it's his kind that he wants.

He can understand Eva's approach, and what Eva wants is one or two good offspring. There is a 95% chance that the combination between the capable will not give birth to a conquest, but if it is born, the offspring will be 100% capable. And the genes of the ability are even better, and it is normal for the blue to be blue.

However, in view of the low chances, there are many capable people who play with each other, but it is very rare to actually get married. Generally speaking, people with great abilities will have a large family, and they will have more than one partner for both men and women. Although the probability of fertility among the capable people is low, there is no such problem at all when they combine with ordinary people.

However, in this way, the offspring will rarely appear in the example of the capable person, so the capable person can only increase the probability of the appearance of high-quality offspring through the plural of partners, which is often behind a high-level capable person in the new era, which means a huge family with complex personnel.

"Okay, but next time, I'm going to be on it. Zero remembered the last time he was suppressed by Eva, although the pleasure was not at all, he always felt that his self-esteem was somewhat damaged.

Eva laughed and said, "If you want to ride me, you have to show your skills, I'm a wild horse." ”

"Let's see. Zero grabbed her buttocks full of bullets and said lightly.

Taken aback by Zero's rare outrageous behavior, Eva came to her senses, and Zero was already far away, and commanded, "The cleanup is scheduled for tomorrow morning, don't oversleep and be late." ”

Eva still reflected on what Zero had just said, and muttered, "It seems that coming back from the expedition has become a little different, but such a man is my appetite." Well, try to conquer me, Zero. ”

Spit out a bright red tongue and gently wipe it between her lips, and Eva's eyes were filled with the smell of danger.

In late summer and early autumn, the wilderness is bleak. The surface of the soil layer is dyed with a green and yellow face, which is a layer of stone moss, which is attached to the surface of the soil and rock by the pollen of mutant plants. In less than 24 hours, these pollen will produce a protective embryonic coat on the surface. Don't underestimate this thin layer of plant embryonic coat, which acts as a shield from the spokes and acts as a heat insulator so that the pollen can survive the coming winter.

By the time the chūn opened the next year, the weather warmed up and the snow melted. This protective coat is then converted into fertilizer and stimulates pollen division, which produces new shoots in such a difficult environment.

This is the way of reproduction of lower plants, they are tenacious and not easily extinct by the harsh climate. In a way, many organisms or plants on the earth are far more alive than humans. The Cataclysm brought about an evolutionary race between humans and all things, and all the advantages of humanity in the old era were lost. To survive, all life has to desperately evolve and reproduce to adapt to changes in the environment.

An off-road vehicle drove through the wilderness and stopped on this lonely land with a hidden life inside. A tall, but well-proportioned woman in the car stood up. She has a jīng face, and short bright red hair that dances in the wind like a flame.

The woman was wearing a black sè tactical suit, and a black sè heavy sword almost as high as her rested at her feet, which was really hard to believe that a person as slender as her could wield such a hideous weapon.

She took the binoculars and looked into the distance, and what appeared in the binoculars was a military base. At the entrance to the base hangs an iron sign that reads, "Welcome to Zero!" Not far away, large cranes, pumping pumps and other heavy machines are parked. At this moment, a muffled sound was heard in the distance. Then there was a slight tremor in the ground, as if the earth's crust was shaking slightly.

"It's pretty efficient, but it's not a good name. The woman smiled, sat back in the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove the car in the direction of the base.

A moment later, the car came to the entrance, but was stopped by Jǐng Wei. Unimpressed, the woman flipped up a brand new badge from under her seat. It reads "Security Director, Eva".

When Jǐng Wei saw it, he didn't want this beautiful woman in front of him to be his top boss, so he immediately saluted one by one. It's just that the eyes of the jǐng guards are not honest, their gaze shifts from Eva's face to her chest, and then to the hideous heavy sword resting next to her, and suddenly everyone's faces become unnatural. If such a delicate woman could afford to wield such a terrifying weapon, she would definitely not be as chic as she appeared to be, but more like a she-beast in human skin.

Seeing Eva drive away in the car, the guards looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It was because they remembered another woman, who had come with the boss of the company, Zero, who was taller and fuller than their security supervisor. Similarly, the woman named Su also wielded an alloy greatsword that was almost as tall as her. This giant sword alone scared away all the men who thought about her.

God knows what kind of man can conquer these two strange women, anyway, these new jǐng guards in the company are definitely not on the list, so they still consciously do their job as jǐng wei.

These people, as well as the workers, were recruited by the Black Rose family in place of Zero in the recent past. Therefore, although Zero Point Technology is a new company, it can recruit the first batch of employees in the shortest possible time with the guarantee of the Black Rose family.

The military command post, which serves as the entrance to the underground base, has also completed the initial transformation, and its function will be transformed from a command post to a reception and negotiation area for entertaining the company's new customers. And only old customers are eligible to enter the company, which is BeonLis's suggestion to establish a VIP customer system for the company to facilitate management and stimulate the enthusiasm of customers.

As for the whole set of business operations, there is a staff team provided by Beonise to carry out the cāo work for Zero. However, according to Zero's meaning, he will cultivate his own team and eventually replace the people of the Black Rose family. His willingness to approach Beonliz for help doesn't mean that Zero is willing to become a puppet company of the Black Rose family. The difference between the two is that zero still knows where the dividing line is.

It's just that he's been busy lately, and he doesn't have time to talk to Theon. Otherwise, he would have had Theon do the company's running for him, and he would have much more peace of mind.

Now, Zero is standing outside the command post. He stared intently at the direction where the muffled noise came from, and at this moment Feng in the command post walked out, he gestured to Zero and said, "The blasting team has already done it, and the water supply source of the formation undercurrent has been cut off." ”

"I see, that's for the pump set to start pumping. Tell them they only have two hours. Zero said in a high voice.

Kaede made an "OK" gesture and walked into the command post.

Zero looked at the sky, and it wasn't too early, but the protagonist hadn't come yet.

The protagonist is Eva, and in the current zero team, Kaede and Su have completed their transformation into high-level professions. They were promoted to the Great Sword Master and the Destroyer respectively, which was a qualitative leap in both Liliang and ability. As for Berrien, although he had reached the watershed of the Rank Finals, the Thunder Hand of the Seventh Order was not much inferior to the Destroyer in terms of destructive power.

But including Zero, none of them are the protagonists today. If you don't count the losses, then Zero's four-person team already has the qualifications to repel the Abyss Lord Anji Gulit, but in that case, I'm afraid that the entire base will be destroyed in a fight, and Zero doesn't have to think about setting up his own company headquarters and worker-student assembly line in the second-floor base.

So, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, he called Eva over.

Eva's abilities on the surface of the water are the same as Su's, but her abilities have reached the tenth level, but she has not yet formed her own pseudo-realm. But what Zero needs is not her liliang on the water, but her real ability. From the power of Atlantis Zaut, Eva has the blood of the gods. The blood of the gods is actually a super-cell aggregate that possesses extremely terrifying living xìng and aggressive xìng. It has a series of cell activities such as division, proliferation, and regeneration.

In other words, Eva, who possesses the blood of a god, is almost truly immortal. And the blood of the gods has another purpose, which is to invade living beings and eventually kill their whole body cells, which can be regarded as the top assassination method in the world today.

Today, Eva will be the main character, as Zero wants to ask her to "assassinate" Angie Gullit.
