The next morning, Zero arrives at Leah's lab. Leah was sorting and summarizing the medicines they had brought, and she wasn't much surprised to see Zero arrive. Old Jack had already told her that from today onwards, Zero would take Holt's place as her bodyguard. For Leah, it doesn't matter who is the bodyguard, it's just a change of the person who restricts her freedom.

"Here, help me get those things here. Leah pointed to a few potion boxes on the table on one side of the room and said that sometimes the work of a bodyguard is not just simple protection, but also includes asking Leah to do all kinds of trivial things.

Zero Yiyan brought something, but made a special request.

"I want you to do another aptitude test for me. ”

"Huh?" Leah looked up, she was wearing Fu Pingguang glasses today, adding a touch of intellectual beauty to this beautiful girl.

Thinking she had misheard, Leah asked, "What did you just say?"

Zero repeated, Leah put down the words in her hand, circled around Zero and said, "What, do you feel something abnormal in your body?"

"A little. Zero remembered last night's madness and the sudden appearance of Liliang, and he added, "But regardless of the outcome, I hope you can keep it a secret for me." ”

"If I say so, will you kill me?" asked Leah, half-jokingly.

Zero shook his head and said solemnly, "I'll leave." ”

He has his own considerations.

Previously, when Leah mentioned the Adept, she pointed out a rule that Shijie recognized. That is, survivors who have not experienced the day of the cataclysm are unlikely to produce abilities and evolution points because their genes have not been shocked. If Zero identified the ability to generate, then he would be treated as a freak. He didn't know much about this new era, but he knew that even in the old era, the emergence of new species meant capture and research.

He didn't like to be prey, and he didn't want to be a white mouse, so he had Leah keep it a secret.

Leah nodded, and she cautiously locked the door to the lab. Even if someone comes suddenly, they won't be the first to notice zero anomalies. And Leah, who didn't believe that Zero's body would be abnormal.

Because it's impossible.

Zero lay down on the platform of the appraiser as he did last time, closed his eyes, and felt the movement of the platform sliding into the instrument, and his heart went up and down.

In these chaotic times, Zero certainly wants to gain more power. But at the same time, if there is an abnormal ability, it is contrary to the laws that Shijie agrees with. That can only show that Zero's origin is more mysterious and complex, otherwise how could he, who has not experienced a cataclysm, have a mutation.

Leah's ten fingers moved nimbly on the console, and as groups of commands were entered, various lights began to flicker in the discerning instrument. With each flash of light, a set of data is fed to the data hub, where it is centralized and then aggregated into clear data that is displayed on the console.

When zero data flashed across the screen, Leah had to cover her mouth with her hand to stop herself from screaming.

But the computer uses inorganic sound to report the data. The comprehensive data of the body has increased slightly by 3 to 5 percentage points compared to before, which is almost negligible, but what surprised Leah was the data at the back: "Target ability: first-order liliang enhancement, first-order defense enhancement." Evolution Point Data: 1. ”

As Zero descends from the platform, Leah suddenly reaches out to hold his face, and then screams and clutches Zero in her arms. Zero's head was filled with two balls of soft things, and his nose was full of the girl's healthy body fragrance.

"Fantastic, Zero. First-order liliang enhancement and defense enhancement, which is the ability of the fighting domain. There's also a redundant evolution point where you can naturally evolve a certain ability, or buy a full-fledged formula potion from a large company to catalyze a targeted ability. Leah let go of Zero, and tears welled up in her eyes with excitement: "Great, our base has finally produced a stranger, I will tell my grandfather to go now." ”

Letting go of Zero, Leah turned around to leave, but Zero was caught.

Zero looked at her and shook his head slowly. Only then did Leah remember what she had promised to zero just now, and she asked in a low voice, "I promise to only tell grandpa, and no third person will know." ”

"Only you and I know. Zero emphasized.

"Weishenme?" Leah was puzzled.

Zero replied succinctly: "I'm afraid of trouble." ”

Leah is also a smart person, and casually thinks about what is the trouble that Zero refers to?Indeed, if the facts of Zero are revealed, the rules that are enshrined as iron laws by all Shijie will be overturned. God knows how many large companies and organizations will catch Zero as a mutant and study it, which is something that Zero is worried about.

"Then you're not afraid of me telling me?" asked Leah again.

"I don't know. In Zero's mind, the shadow in the dream overlapped with the girl in front of him, and he followed, "But I believe in you." ”

Leah's whole body seemed to have electricity passing through, she shook slightly, lowered her head and said, "Then this is the secret between us." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Pull hook?" Leah made a childish gesture with her tail finger out.

Zero hesitated, but eventually hooked up with Leah with his tailfinger. Leah let out a satisfied laugh, and then worried, "But if you don't tell Grandpa, he won't ask the Parkland chaebol for a mature formula." And I don't know how long it will take for the evolution point to naturally form new abilities, and I don't know if the newly formed abilities will be stable and whether there will be dangers. ”

In turbulent times, the value of the Adept is immeasurable. Even ordinary supernatural people are the target of various small companies. For safety reasons, many Adepts will choose to use formulations sold by major companies that have matured to catalyze directional abilities. The resulting ability is stable and not dangerous. Only a small number of battle maniacs, or those who don't have any abilities to rely on, will take the risk of allowing evolution points to naturally transform into new abilities.

The transformation of undirected abilities may have powerful combat domain abilities, or they may be auxiliary abilities that make people laugh and cry. So there is no need, no one will choose to let the evolution point metamorphose naturally.

After Leah gave Zero a powerful analysis, the latter shook his head stubbornly. Rather than metamorphosing the first evolution point into a directional ability, Zero prefers to let it metamorphose naturally. After all, the risk of exposing his ability is too great, and as for the formula medicine, Zero believes that as long as he improves his strength, he will have a way to get it from a large company in the future. For now, he really didn't have to take that risk for the sake of an evolutionary point.

Seeing that Zero always disagreed, Leah stopped insisting. After the two made a verbal agreement, Zero began to help Leah continue the division of drugs, and when it was almost noon, the radio at the base suddenly rang out.

On the radio, Old Jack's voice was heard: "Everyone come to the work area, I have something important to announce." ”

Such a broadcast was repeated three times, and even Leah did not know what Old Jack was going to announce. But he still did what he said, and he left the laboratory and walked towards the work area. Walking along the passage to the work area, people passed by from time to time, and from their whispers, the two heard sporadic conversations. The content of the words seems to be related to a woman, and for some reason, Zero remembers Lida.

When we came to the gate of the mine in the work area, it was already crowded, and there was an open space in the middle, and Old Jack stood in the center of the field in his eternal attire. To Zero's surprise, Zuo Ge was also there, and he was leading seven soldiers to maintain order. And next to Old Jack, there were two people kneeling and standing.

Kneeling was a man, in his thirties, with a lewd appearance. Zero recognized him, and it was the white Hans who wanted to be fussy with him when Zero first woke up. The man seemed to have been beaten in pain, his whole face was high and swollen, there were many bruises on his body, and there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and it seemed that he had been beaten very lightly.

And next to Hans stood a woman, tall, dressed in white and black dress, who was Lida, who didn't want to make out with Zero last night?

Coming to the outskirts of the crowd, Zero sees Zuoge, who also sees him and walks towards him.

"What's going on?" asked Zero softly.

Zuoge looked at him and said with a wry smile, "Lida went to look for you last night." ”

Hearing this, Leah couldn't help but look towards Zero. Lida's fame has long spread throughout the base, and the men who want to fall for her can form a long line. But Lida had never heard of anyone cheaper, let alone delivered it to her door. And Leah's gaze towards Zero unconsciously added something.

That kind of thing is called jealousy.

Zero didn't notice, just nodded emphatically.

"And you sent her out the door untouched?" asked Zuoge again.

Zero nodded again.

Seeing this, Leah's mood began to lighten.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Ge smiled bitterly and said, "But you hurt her." ”

Zero raised his eyebrows and asked, "Weishenme said so." ”

Zuoge pouted at Hans over there, "Just last night, that cheap dog gave Lida"

Zero was stunned, and finally understood what had happened. He secretly clenched his fists, and a cold light shot out from his indifferent eyes.

He was furious.

"It would have been nice if Lida had just defiled him, but the damn guy wasn't clean, he's already infected by the virus," Zuoge finally sighed heavily.

Zero may not know what that means, but Leah does. She couldn't help but cry out "ah", and at the same time understood what kind of fate Lida would usher in. A moment ago, she was subconsciously jealous of this woman, but at this moment, Leah was full of deep sympathy for her.
