Chapter 59: The Unfinished Journey
Updated: 2012-07-31
Broken highways, windless afternoons. The sun shines hotly on the ground, making the heat rise continuously, and Zuihou creates a mezzade of light, making the distant road distorted and unrealistic. Just like this shijie, you never know what tomorrow will be like.
Either new life or destruction.
Zero sat on the shoulder of the road, and the heavy motorcycle lay beside him. He pressed his hand to his temple, and the constant labor pain in the depths of his head made Zero very uncomfortable. Thankfully, the pain is waning over time, and now it's only as faint as a pinprick with negligible odds.
The labor pains stem from the precise calculations of dodging Raff, and it is not difficult to shoot a target at a distance of more than a thousand meters, but for Zero, it is not as simple as words to get the same bullet point for both shots.
From the calculation of the trajectory, to the resistance of the bullet through the air, the interference of the wind on the way, and even the terrain and magnetic field can affect the final projectile point. The first bullet pierced Raf's elemental field, and the second bullet cost him his life. This may seem like a simple operation, but it requires complex and sophisticated calculations, and this level of data processing is more than the brain can handle.
I already feel very lucky that I didn't die of a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot, so a headache for a while is not a big deal. And he knows that after breaking through the computing limit of the brain this time, the development of his brain domain can be said to have taken a big step forward. As for what the consequences will be in the future, whether the consequences will be good or bad, zero is not clear. He only knew that the next time he made such a large equivalent calculation, the time for him to press down the plate machine should be a little faster.
Zero stood up, feeling weak. The calculation of exceeding the load of his brain caused him to expend a lot of energy, so when a bottle of water and bread was handed to him, Zero took it without thinking, and then eliminated the food from his eyes with great speed.
Su and Leah looked at Zero in surprise, in their cognition, Zero always looked calm, and rarely ate like this now. The hungry Zero had no time to take care of his own food, and after solving the bread and water, he still felt that it was not enough, so the three tubes of nutrients were quickly eaten. This amount is already more than four times that of Zero's usual amount, and for Zero, who can move for a day or two after drinking 200 milliliters of water, these foods are enough for him to eat for ten days and a half months.
"Are you alright? Su looked at Zero, who had suddenly turned into a big stomach king, and there was more curiosity than concern in his eyes.
Zero sensed that his body was breaking down the food he ate into his stomach into the purest form of energy at an unusually terrifying rate, and then it was constantly being transported towards his body and limbs. The feeling of weakness was swept away, and his body was full of liliang again, which made Zero settle down.
Looking at Su, Zero nodded at her and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry." By the way, this time thanks to you. Otherwise, we're probably in big trouble. ”
"It's nothing, I also want to settle accounts with these two sluts. To be honest, I can't do it alone, but you're different. Su patted his long sword again: "Speaking of which, I still have the good material you gave Xiexie, it has reduced the weight of my sword by one-third, and the attack speed has increased by nearly half." This is tantamount to enhancing my combat power in disguise, so it's fair to help you once. ”
Zero smiled. Su did not hide his purpose, and at the same time saw his own shortcomings, and did not deny that helping zero was actually helping himself. This answer is very much in line with Zero's appetite, and I also feel that the relationship between the two is a little closer. Although he has not yet reached the level of friends, at least he is not a stranger.
Friendships in the wilderness are uncommon, and true friends are even rarer. Oppression from survival and interests, this shijie does not have eternal friends or enemies, this is true in the old times, and even more so in the new era.
"So, where are you going next?" he asked, inspecting the crane.
Returning the long sword to the leather sword holster behind his back, Su looked at the wilderness in the distance: "It's still like that, wandering around." Go out on quests, make money, then buy news and find enemies. I'm afraid this cycle will have to go on for a long time. ”
The shell of the heavy locomotive is somewhat worn, but the parts are still intact. Zero picked it up and tried to start, but immediately the engine roared, indicating that the locomotive was not damaged.
Looking at the zero-engine car, Su didn't ask him where he was going. She suddenly pulled Zero over and kissed him the cheek, and when Zero and Leah were stunned, Su turned away.
"Next time we meet, remember to treat me to a drink, pretty boy. ”
Zero shook his head as he looked at the robber-like figure of Su leaving the road and running towards the wilderness in the distance. He knew that the meaning of the kiss just now was to repay him for helping him once. This woman, who is full of wilderness style in both style and behavior, Zero feels that he is starting to like her a little.
"Let's go, our journey is far from over. Zero Chaoria said.
Leah recovered, got into the motorcycle, and hugged Zero's waist hard.
No matter where the journey ends, she will accompany Zero until the end of her life.
Three days after Zero left Remut, Theon welcomed a distinguished guest.
The guest had aristocratic pale blonde hair and wore a dark red leather robe, with a sword and shield embroidered on his chest, representing a mysterious organization in Middle-earth.
Dark Council!
It has been said that the Dark Council is the true master of Middle-earth. Theon doesn't deny this, the Dark Council has unimaginably vast resources and force, and their shili range can be found in all known corners of the continent of Middle-earth. Although the Dark Council maintains a loose relationship with the rest of the corporate bases on the continent, there is no clear affiliation. However, no base is willing to offend the Dark Council, and Remut is no exception.
Theon's guest was Sauron. He was very young, but he was already a captain, and he had a private army of 100 personnel. This private unit is well staffed and equipped, and it is conceivable that they will be able to fight extremely efficiently on the battlefield. But Sauron's party seemed to have been in battle before, as evidenced by the subtle anger on the young guests and the faint smell of blood on the soldiers.
Theon's eyes have always been poisonous.
Never offend a team that has just retired from the battlefield, no matter how weak it may seem. The soldiers who had just left the battlefield had not retreated with murderous intent, and if they were offended, no one could say what would happen. Especially when this team belongs to the Dark Council, Theon's principle is rightfully elevated to the highest priority.
"What can I do for you, honorable Lord Sauron?" Theon asked, with a faint smile on his face.
Sauron asked his retinue to pull out a tablet no thicker than 5 centimeters, which was the standard tactical board for every Scarlet Knight. It is connected to the Dark Council's brain, and has various functions depending on the authority.
Among those many functions, photo storage is undoubtedly the most basic function. Sauron flicked his fingers and quickly pulled up two photos: "Tell me, where are these two now?" I know they've been to Remut, so don't challenge my intelligence in this regard." ”
Theon was still smiling, but was slightly stunned when he saw the photo.
The photo is a man and a woman, Theon doesn't know the woman, but the union president recognizes it as zero.
Looking at Sauron, Theon could clearly feel the strong smell of gunpowder on the other party's body. It could be seen that Sauron was in a very bad mood right now. Theon didn't want to, and didn't dare to play any tricks with Sauron at this time. As much as he liked Zero as a soldier, as if the other side of the scales was the Dark Council, Theon leaned to the other side without hesitation.
