1 minute later, Eva arrived. Driving the off-road vehicle that Zero gave to Victor, carrying a heavy sword black dragon, he jumped arrogantly from the car.

Dragging the black heavy sword, Eva walked to Zero's side and said, "What's the situation? ”

"I can't thank you enough. Saying this, there was no hint of gratitude in Zero's eyes, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "But we still have to wait for two hours, and the ground water below the second floor of the base is unexpectedly much." ”

"It's going to take two hours?" Eva said, with an exaggerated expression, "Why don't we make a room and talk about how to make a good next generation?"

"Thank you for not being sensitive, I still want to maintain my physical strength, so I don't want to accompany me. Feel free to walk around, and I'll go see the action of the pump. Zero left Eva alone, but the departing figure had the smell of running away.

Eva suddenly shouted at Zero, "Just take out the courage to tease me yesterday, Zero!"

In the command post, Feng Zheng was dispatching personnel while drinking coffee, and when he heard this, he sprayed a mouthful of coffee on the screen of the temporary command platform. The staff next to him looked at him embarrassedly, and Kaede had already run out of the command post like a wind. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly felt a little awe-inspiring murderous point on his forehead, and immediately made Kaede stop.

Seeing Zero walking away, Kaede patted his chest. It's not everyone who can afford to be targeted by zero will with anger like this, and even Kaede has a feeling of horror. Look at Eva again, the initiator is already laughing so much that tears are coming out.

The gossip didn't work out but almost scared Zero, so Feng had to walk back and tease more than three female employees in a row before calming down the frightened little liver.

Two hours passed quickly, and it was noon. At present, the ground water from the third to the fifth floor of the underground base is basically emptied, and only the ground water below the sixth floor remains. Of course, the ground water can't be pumped all at once, so as not to wake up the sleeping Abyss Lord. Then it will not be an assassination, but a forcible attack.

After eating and drinking, several people in charge of the entire assassination operation gathered at the entrance to the three-story base. In addition to Zero, there were several people involved in this operation: Kaede, Su, Berrien, and Eva. Today, Eva plays the lead role, and the others help and eliminate any danger that might threaten Eva.

Looking at this team, Zero Lao was relieved. After many hard work, I finally got together a combat team that was not weak. Of course, this is far from enough, but these people will become the core combat power of Zero!

Each person still has a set of Nocturnal tactical uniforms, but the equipment is much simpler than the last time he entered the Cosax. Zero, in particular, is almost empty-handed. But for Zero, as long as there is energy, he is equal to a moving arsenal. Naturally, the level of the weapon is limited by the level of his ability, such as the particle cannon Zero that Longinus transformed during the duel against Lilith.

Longinus is the Root of the Planet, the first creation of Agrandis after he possessed a will. After it appeared, Agrandis used energy to transform into matter, Shijie, which is now the earth. Longinus is a product of matter and energy, so it can change according to the user's mind, but no matter what kind of weapon it transforms into, Longinus has the ability to attack the target directly, regardless of any skill or defense.

This is the power of the rules that Agradis gave to Longinus, and at different times in history, Agradisus has given it to those who can use it, so that humanity can survive through many difficulties in different eras.

As the ultimate weapon, Longinus has granted Zero permission to use it, but Zero is still able to fully possess it. For Zero, as long as his mind moves now, he can see this Shishen Spear that is quietly resting in the void in his consciousness. However, on the left side of Longinus, he was wrapped in several regular force fields, and before Zero reached the twelfth order, he could not unlock these force fields one by one to use this weapon.

This is also a restriction set by Agradis, otherwise zero liliang is not enough, and if you barely use Longinus, one bad will drain all the energy and be disabled, or even fatal.

After all, this weapon can kill even gods, not to mention that Zero is just a person.

The strangest thing about Zero not having a weapon is Berrien. On that day in Jotunheim, he and Zero were both unconscious, unaware of Zero's previous incarnation as a Radiant Knight. Kaede and Su were silent about this, so Berrion didn't know that Zero had mastered the ability of the Rule Domain.

When Zero brought Berrion and joined them, Kaede and Su also felt strange, but they didn't ask much. Because they believed in Zero, and as for Zero's secret, it was natural for him to tell it himself, and they didn't explain anything to Berrien. It's just that judging from the fact that Zero didn't cover it up, Kaede thought that Zero wanted to tell Berrion some of his secrets in an indirect way through this operation.

This should be Zero wants to test Berrien, and if Berrion divulges his secret, then this man naturally has no qualifications to become Zero's true partner. If it is the opposite, then Berrien should be a reliable comrade-in-arms for a long time to come. After all, in this team, there is a lack of long-range firepower like Berrien, and this must be Zero's intention to let him join.

Zero not only perfects himself, but also perfects the team, and everything is built bit by bit towards his ideal blueprint.

The blueprint of zero is also the blueprint in the hearts of these people. Therefore, even if you go to the abyss and darkness like now, no one will retreat.

Below the third floor, it can be said that it is already in a state of total destruction. Most of the facilities were damaged during the war between Angegullit and Cario and Valkyrie. The most serious damage was the destruction of the line from the bottom floor to the third floor of the base, which almost stabbed a gap between the layers of bases. Standing on the edge of the breakage at this moment, you can feel the ground wind gently carrying the moisture upwards.

Anji Gullit is still asleep, and will sleep for a long time. But no one knows if it will wake up suddenly, and besides, the neighbor is not friendly. Once Anji Gullit wreaks havoc, then Zero's hard work on the second floor of the base may be ruined. Therefore, cleaning up the latent risk factors has become the reason why Zero has to do this right now.

The partial renovation of the two-story base has begun, and the company's headquarters and factory are located in the living area of the original base. It is adjacent to the medical area, so the existing medical center, which was occupied by Eva that day, is also being rehabilitated, and it will be put into use soon to create medical conditions for zero employees.

Of course, the remaining living corpses on the second floor of the base have been cleared before this, and the environment can be said to be very safe. Of course, this refers to after getting rid of the Abyss Lord.

As for the other idle places, Zero has no arrangements for the time being, so he lets them sit idle. As the company grows, these places will naturally be utilized. But for now, getting rid of Anji Gullit is the first priority.

Take out a few sets of safety ropes from Kaede's carrying gear, divide them among the others, and then carry out the rappelling operation. In a quiet and dark environment, only a few people's tactical helmets lit up from time to time. They didn't dare to turn on the external light source for fear that the sudden appearance of the light would wake up Anji Gulit, so they used the same infrared vision mode as last time.

In this way, through the safety rope, he descended straight down to the passage that had been blasted by the torrent of energy during the previous war, and let the darkness drown him, and it felt like he was going to hell. In the tactical helmet, in the reddened picture, if you don't see the figure of your companion nearby, I'm afraid that the strongest person will go crazy. Kaede laughed at herself, wondering if she had been hanging out with Zero for too long, and she was about to forget the loneliness she felt when she woke up in the lab.

At that time, Kaede liked the darkness instead, because in the dark, he didn't have to think about certain things.

Such as their own origins.

At this moment, Zero's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel: "Everyone, pay attention, there is an unknown life form approaching. ”

Kaede was stunned, and the other people's movements also stopped suddenly. Basically, there shouldn't be any other lifeforms in the underground base except for Anji Gulit, so now that there are zero warnings, everyone has entered a state of imminent battle.

The next moment, something burst through the air, whipping and making a "hiss" sound in the air.

Whatever it was, its target was Kaede. Feng snorted coldly, he was leaning against a broken wall at this time, and his toes had already swung away with his strength. The thing pumped against the alloy wall, whipping up a few pieces of cable that had lost its function. And because of the close distance, with infrared vision, Kaede can see that it is something similar to a soft whip. It was covered in flesh thorns and stained with a liquid that resembled strong acid. Upon exiting the wall, the wall it touched showed a black mark from the corroded metal.

"What's that?" whispered Sue in the channel, raising her sword and pointing somewhere in the darkness.

When Zero and the others looked together, they saw a monster clinging to the wall. These things look like big fish with limbs, and yes, they have fish-like bodies. But on the side, there are reptile-like limbs, and there should be something like a suction cup on the palm of the flesh to allow it to be vertically attached to the wall. And on the back of this fish monster, there are more than a dozen things like whips. Looking at the whipping power of one of the meat whips, the liliang of these things is not trivial, at least equivalent to the liliang enhancement of the third order of the fighting domain.

Looking at this monster, Zero unconsciously took it and attacked himself with the flesh whiskers of the day Angie Gullet. Thinking of this, Zero couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Could this thing be the young son of the Abyss Lord, but judging from its appearance, it seems to have mutated." ”

Mutation is a phenomenon that is not lacking in the new era. The magnitude of the mutation can be as large as a physical mutation or as small as a cellular mutation. This is a powerful ability of new-age creatures to adapt to their environment, although in Agradis, Zero knows that the mutations of wild creatures originate from Prosius. But Prosius can only provide them with an opportunity to evolve, and as for what plants and animals will evolve into, it is not under Prosius's control.

These samples were not successful for Prosius, who, after two or three generations of evolution, had lost interest in observation. This led to the appearance of the True Kings, who were the transformations of Prosius himself.

And the abundance of failures in the wilderness did not waste the opportunity given by Prosius, who tenaciously survived and changed their genes according to the needs of the environment.

Now this half-fish, half-worm monster is probably one of the surviving cubs of Anji Gulit that day, and has undergone genetic and even physical mutations for some needs!

The strange fish made a swallowing sound, and it seemed to it that the sudden visitors represented a good meal. Food means enough protein, and protein is the most basic thing needed for evolution. The whiskers on its back waved gently, and the two rows of compound eyes on its big head flashed with the cold glow unique to cold-blooded animals, and the strange fish moved, intending to attack a few people in a roundabout way.

Zero retracted his gaze and quickly said in the communication channel: "This guy will be handed over to Kaede to deal with, Kaede, you have no problem, right?"

Feng said lazily: "Of course it's no problem, it's not a trash fish like this, it's not a matter of three or two." ”

"Don't be careless. Zero didn't forget to say, even though he knew that with Feng's current ability, there really wouldn't be any problems in dealing with Anji Gulit's cubs. It's just that this strange fish has undergone a mutation, and God knows if it will have special abilities.

But Zero also knows that since he sees the other person as a companion, he must first learn to trust. So he gestured, and the others continued to slide down with their safety ropes. Kaede swayed back and forth, the Zuihou rope almost swinged out 180 degrees, and when Kaede was thrown into the darkness of the fourth-floor base, the rope reappeared on the outside of the passage, and Kaede was gone.

Maple fell to the ground, rolled to unload the force, and when it bounced up again, it glanced at the environment around it. This is the fourth-level underground base, which was once the battlefield of the Human-faced Moth and the Nemesis. Now that the battlefield had fallen silent, the darkness was filled with it, but in Kaede's sight, it was not difficult to see some objects with the liquid that had dried up.

He touched it casually and noticed that the skin between his fingers produced subtle chemical reactions when they came into contact with the liquid. The liquid has an acidic substance, but it is not very strong, it should be because the liquid has been left for a long time, and most of the acidic substance has volatilized. Therefore, it only gave Kaede a slightly itchy feeling, but even his skin couldn't boil.

However, it can be seen that this base may be the nest of those mutant fish. Or maybe there's more than one such monster.

While thinking about it, there was already a strange fish screaming behind him. Kaede looked back, and the strange fish crawled in from outside the broken vertical passage, and flew towards Kaede's four claws. Kaede immediately ran into the depths to avoid the noise caused by the battle with the strange fish to wake up Anji Gulit, who was sleeping underneath.

To Kaede's surprise, the strange fish is fast and has an unpredictable way of locomotion. Sometimes it flies up to the zenith, sometimes it falls to the ground, and sometimes it glides on its belly against the ground. Judging from the sparks produced by the friction between its body and the ground, this strange fish should still have scaly armor or something like it on its abdomen.

But in the blink of an eye, the strange fish made a turning move, and it had already grabbed in front of Kaede in a "Z" shape, blocking his way!

Feng stopped, and as soon as his hand moved, Tang Dao Frost had already reached his hand. He smiled and said, "Well, the four-legged thing really runs fast." So let's settle it here, let the horses come, man. ”

In Kaede's sight, the compound eyes of the strange fish narrowed at first, and the body did not advance but retreated. When it arched its body in an instant, the whiskers on its back swung out black lines and pumped towards Kaede.

Feng sneered, and the Tang knife in his hand disappeared, but the air between him and the strange fish kept bursting with sparks, but it was Feng who used the Tang knife to block the whiplash of the strange fish's whiskers every inch. It's just that there are as many as a few pieces of meat for strange fish, but there is only one Tang knife of Feng, but the two are on par, when you know how fast Feng's knife is.

The strange fish's compound eyes widened, it didn't expect Kaede to be able to keep up with the speed of its own whisker volley. There was a silent roar at the moment, the flesh whiskers were recovered, and the whole body hit Kaede like a cannonball. This strange fish is as big as a bull, and if you hit it, it will not be much easier than being hit by a train.

Feng is not the kind of person who is good at liliang, he smiled "hehe", and did not retreat but advanced. The moment he sprinted forward, he knelt down to the ground, leaned back to the limit, and the back of his head touched the ground, but the strange fish passed the tip of his nose. While Feng evaded, his hand was not idle, and the Tang knife was raised diagonally, and he pulled it through its abdomen with the force of the strange fish's impact.

A series of tooth-sore sounds accompanied by a series of sparks appeared in the darkness.

In an instant, one fish and one person were separated, but no one could hurt anyone.

Of course, the strange fish can't hit the maple. But Feng's Tang knife only lifted off a few scales of the strange fish, but it couldn't hurt its vital point.

"That's not good, man, don't think I can't help you with tortoiseshell. Kaede winked at the strange fish, but unfortunately he was wearing a tactical helmet, and the strange fish couldn't see him.

But seeing Feng gently wipe it on the Tang Knife, a layer of red energy immediately appeared on the Tang Knife. This is the phenomenon of maple bioenergy being released, and the red bioenergy represents liliang above the eighth order!

The strange fish also clearly felt the oppression of the invisible power on Kaede's body, and its four claws were uneasy to gouge. But it was fierce by nature, but it didn't intend to retreat, but instead screamed and pounced on Feng.

Kaede moved, and he made a downward slashing motion. With his body standing up, the Tang knife in his hand pulled out an upward splitting light. However, the strange thing is that there is still an image of Kaede's first action left in the air. Follow Kaede to make a continuous slash, a series of dazzling slashing actions such as horizontal slashes, oblique slashes, and backhand knives leave afterimages in the air like miracles.

When Zuihou completed one action, the strange fish was still in the air.

Kaede straightened up, and the Tang knife returned to its sheath. As the handle of the knife struck the scabbard and made a "dang" sound, the countless maples gathered together, and a sharp knife sound suddenly sounded in the air. A stream of blood rushed from the monster fish, followed by a second, third, and fourth

Blood lines filled the sky, and the body of the strange fish exploded in the air, and blood, flesh, internal organs, and bones were sprinkled all over the ground. The viscous blood slowly flowed to Kaede's feet, and the compound eyes of the strange fish that had half of the remnants of the head of the fashion were still blinking, but they died immediately, and their vitality was outrageously strong.

Looking at the air where the monster fish was killed just now, there were still patches of misty redness dissipating, which were the traces left by Feng's "wind pressure slash" just now.

After being promoted to the rank of Great Sword Master, Kaede mastered several new abilities. One of them is the Wind Pressure Slash, which uses a rapid slash to shake the air into a paper-thin air cutting wave. And Kaede slashed just now, releasing hundreds of such disorderly cuts, which was a terrifying killing move on top of the fast attack characteristics of the fencer!

After dealing with the strange fish, Kaede hummed a minor tune and walked straight towards the vertical passage. However, at this time, there was a strange sound in the darkness, and three or four more identical strange fish appeared around Kaede.

Kaede sighed and said, "It seems that there were really a lot of fish that slipped through the net last time, which really makes people question the ability of the official legion." Forget it, I'll just work for free. Let's go together, and after the fight, maybe you can catch up with the big show below. ”

In the face of Kaede's provocation, although the strange fish couldn't understand human words, he could feel the disdain in Kaede's tone. Out of creature instinct, they roared and swores to tear Kaede to shreds!
