Volume 1 The Land of Lawlessness Chapter 24 Confrontation
Updated: 2012-07-13
It's been three days.
Hans looked up, his grayish-brown pupils now resembling a demon.
In the dark eyes, the pupils are replaced by numerous densely packed bright red rings, and gray dots the size of a grain of rice in the center. These eyes are more like monsters than humans. Even though, Hans's human face has not changed in any way.
It was only after the fear and anger in the tavern that the shackles of reason had been broken, and Hans embarked on a path of no return. Now all he has left is the obsession of hunting and killing zero.
It was such an obsession that made him wander in the wilderness outside the base for three days without eating or drinking.
There was a strange smell in the air, and Hans sniffed vigorously through his nose, and then let out the roar of a beast from his mouth. The humanoid tank immediately rushed towards the foot of a mountain. Right next to a crooked-necked tree at the foot of the mountain, Hans found a broken sleeve. Undoubtedly, the sleeve was zero, so his taste drifted to Hans's nose with the wind.
Under his sleeve was a bottle of liquid without any label, and one of the few memories of a human being told him that it was supposed to be a bottle of water.
The golden sun overhead emitted intense ultraviolet rays that turned the entire surface into an oven. Hans's lips were already cracked from dryness, and when he realized that the bottle contained water, he instinctively crushed the neck of the bottle with his thumb and poured it into his mouth with the broken glass and the liquid in the bottle.
As the liquid flowed through his mouth and into his esophagus, the strange smell made Hans realize that it was not drinkable water.
But he woke up too late.
A bullet spanned a distance of 1500 meters, and the high-speed rotating warhead was wrapped in a faint flame that grazed the glass bottle from Hans's hand with the smell of gunpowder.
Boom -
Flames burst into the sky, like a red cloak, enveloping Hans inside.
In the distance, the sound of sniper rifles came slowly.
Hans was clearly not so happy wrapped in flames, and the flames even spread into his body along the esophagus. He thundered, and the hot flames stimulated Hans's pain nerves. He only felt that his whole body was about to explode, and he kept crashing into the hard rocks at the foot of the mountain, which was completely instinctive, but it achieved an unusually good effect.
In the continuous impact, the flames on Hans's body gradually became smaller, and Zuihou disappeared. It's just that Hans's body was burned into a mush, and the flames melted his skin and muscles. When the flames are extinguished, the cooled blood forms a membrane-like substance. When Hans's ability to regenerate blood and bones was activated, the new tendons squeezed through the blood film, causing Hans a heart-rending pain!
Hans's roar echoed across the wilderness, and Zero could be heard thousands of miles away.
Zero put away his sniper rifle and shrank behind a yellow-brown rock. In my mind, the possibility of high-temperature combustion is crossed out.
During these three days, he tried a variety of methods. This includes the trap of using your own smell as bait just now, and actually hiding a bottle of high-concentration alcohol. But Hans's vitality is as strong as the devil, and whether Zero blows his limbs or burns him with fire, Hans is immortal.
It's a contest of endurance, resilience and willpower. Zero is like a lone wolf roaming the wilderness, constantly using guerrilla, harassment, traps, assaults, snipers, and other means to deal with Hans. But now, Zero feels like he's about to reach his limit.
No one knows what it will be like to cross the limit, maybe to be reborn, or maybe to break down. Zero didn't know, he just wanted to get rid of Hans before the limit arrived.
Through these three days of competition, Zero has a new understanding of his body. Although this body is not almost immortal like Hans's. But the previous zero speculation about his own body, which is equivalent to a life support system operated by a sophisticated computer, has been confirmed.
When Zero left the base, he only brought 200 milliliters of secondary drinking water with him. However, this little bit of clean water not only maintains the needs of life for the past three days, but also includes the energy consumed after various strong physical exercises.
If it weren't for some system in the body that quantifies the use of any external energy, Zero would not have been able to last so long. He was sure that his body had been modified in some way, including the golden right eye. And all this should be related to the name on the hibernation warehouse.
It's just that now is not the time to think about this, even if you have a life support system that is down to the nanometer level, you can't just rely on 200 milliliters of clean water to pay for zero more extra energy.
Zero silently estimated his physical strength, and if he couldn't solve Hans before the sun went down, then he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning.
The various situations in the past three days were silently filtered in my mind, and countless data were analyzed, summarized, and then eliminated. To Zuihou, there is only one possibility left.
Pieces!
Only by blowing Hans up in its entirety may there be a chance to kill him. After conducting a self-test of his equipment, he found that there was not enough equivalent gunpowder.
Zero silently looked at the wilderness, and suddenly remembered that when he hunted the wolves half a month ago, he had prepared some detonators to blow up the rocks and hit the wolves. But because of the appearance of Hans, the later detonators were useless.
It was in a hurry, and Zero didn't recover the detonators. With enough of them to blow up the rocks, they should be more than enough to deal with Hans.
In the wilderness, Hans wandered. His head hurts, and sometimes he wants to pick open his head with his hands to see if there are worms inside, otherwise how could there be such a sharp pain. The pain kept him from thinking carefully, but it reminded him that he was in this situation because of Zero.
Before he knew it, Hans was on the road. The wind blowing in the distance of the highway swept over Hans, and the demonic eyes suddenly narrowed, and Hans smelled blood.
That's zero blood!
Hans let out a fishy breath from his mouth, and he ran wildly. Soon after, he found a drop of blood.
The blood has clotted and is dark red. Hans stuck out his tongue and licked it, and he swept the sand into his mouth with him, and then swallowed it into his stomach pouch. There is nothing wrong, it is zero blood. It means he's injured, and there's nothing better than the news. Hans looked up, and the smell of zero came from the wind again. He stood up and ran along the road in the direction of the canyon.
At this time, Hans had forgotten that he had tortured and killed a pack of corpse wolves there more than half a month ago, and he had also forgotten that Zero had also hunted there at that time.
Hans only knew that a voice kept ringing in his head.
Kill him!
