It's night, and the town is deserted. / The night in the wilderness is cold, even if the day is so hot that it can roast off a layer of your skin, but at night, it will be so cold that your soul will tremble. Extreme cold and heat test all life on this planet, and humans are clearly no better than others in terms of adaptability.

Especially in a desolate town like this, not to mention a magnetic shield like Eternal Night City, they don't even have a radiated purification system like Reef City. In this cruel era, poverty means that you can only struggle on the line of death.

The gas station's convenience store was brightly lit, and the shelves, which didn't have many goods, were moved to the sides, leaving room for a rickety table. There was a makeshift electric stove on the table, and hot broth was boiling on the stove. Not many households in the town can afford electricity, and the town's only old-fashioned generator is already facing the dilemma of running without gasoline.

As a result, the townspeople were very economical about electricity, and old Pete had a private generator that allowed him to fill the lamps and use the electric stove so extravagantly.

The broth on the stove was cooked, and old Pete brought two bowls that were not very clean, and then multiplied a bowl of broth for himself and Kim.

Kim drank broth, which in fact was not delicious. The meat is taken from the mutant lizard outside the town, and only the muscles of its hind limbs can be taken. The flesh of the lizard is bitter, and because it contains trace amounts of toxins, the tongue will go numb while drinking the broth.

But Jin still drank a bowl of jīng light, not for anything else, because such a broth was a rare delicacy in his childhood.

"I heard that you have become a capable person? It's amazing, Xiao Jin, I used to be such a crying slug. Old Peter took a sip of the broth, gestured with his hand again, and laughed.

Jin wiped his nose with his finger and said, "It's not as simple as a capable person, I'm a conqueror of the earth now." ”

"What did you conquer the earth?" said old Peter, who gave Jin a brain, "What nonsense, and conquer the earth, you little devil with no hair." ”

Jin looked at the old man with a wry smile, and didn't bother to explain to him that the Earth Conqueror was a high-level profession in the Elemental Domain. He has the power to control the earth, and if he wants to, a "sandstorm" or a "crustal shake" can make this town history.

He is no longer the same as Kim two years ago, but the town is still a small town, and Old Peter is still Old Peter. So Jin hehe smirked and went back to the stupid boy who didn't understand anything two years ago.

"By the way, Peter, how is my mother?" Kim asked suddenly.

Old Peter rolled a drop of meat juice into his mouth with his tongue before saying, "Your mother Floa, she has gone with someone." Just a short time after you left, you left with an adventurous merchant who was passing through the town. ”

"She's going to have a good time. Kim bowed his head and said.

Old Peter shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, I heard that the adventurous merchant has several other women." I don't know if I'm doing well or not, anyway, your mother should not starve to death with him. ”

"That's it, that's good. Kim's head was lowered, but he didn't want old Peter to see the liquid rolling in his eyes.

The two of them then chatted about the trivial matters of the town, and when it was nine o'clock, old Peter packed up his things and said to Kim, "Are you going to stay this time?"

"No, just for a day or two. ”

Old Peter nodded and said, "That's right, such a town can't keep you as a big man." It's not too early, you go to bed early, the room in the warehouse is still empty, I'll send you a quilt later. ”

Kim nodded, in fact, with his ability, even if he was lying naked on the ground, it would be fine, but he was still very grateful for Old Peter's concern.

The warehouse is behind the convenience store, and it is a small room of about ten square meters. Kim remembers that there used to be piles of expired food and water, but now it's much empty, and he doesn't know if it's sold or thrown away as inedible. But for here, Kim has a special emotion. When he was a child, every time he was beaten and scolded by his mother, he would flee to this warehouse of old Peter.

It's his little sanctuary.

Kim found a clean corner and just lay on the ground. Soon after, old Peter came over, and he threw a patched quilt to King, with an extra pillow. Jin knew that it was the old man's only pillow, so he shirked it, but was forced into his arms by the old man with a stinky face.

When the old man left, Jin felt warm in his heart.

At this moment, his chest shook slightly, and Kim took out a pocket-sized brain from the pocket on his camouflage chest. It looks like a smartphone from the old days, but with a lot more features than a mobile phone. At this time, the screen of the brain flashed with an icon requesting communication, and Jin clicked on it, and then put the brain on the ground.

A beam of light came out of the screen of the brain, and an image gradually took shape in the light. It's a man, but the image only reaches the man's waist, and the upper body merges with the darkness of the warehouse, revealing an aura of mystery.

An apparently processed voice rang out: "How's it going, Kim." ”

Jin Ban knelt on the ground and replied respectfully, "As expected by the adults, the abilities below the sixth order are no longer zero of their opponents. Compared to before the expedition, Zero has come a long way, especially Zero, who I think has been promoted to Yīn Shadow Wanderer. ”

"I've already been promoted. It seems that your judgment is not wrong, otherwise you would not have been hurt. The voice said lightly.

Kim looked at his injured arm and subconsciously moved it back.

"Since the killers in the wilderness can't help them, let's send our people out next time. Kim, you should be eager for this level of confrontation as well. ”

Jin lowered his head and said: "Everything I have is given by adults, as long as it is the enemy of adults, even if I fight for this life, I will pull the other party to hell together." ”

"It's not good to fight so quickly, this can only show that Jin you are also afraid of their liliang. ”

Kim didn't answer, acquiescing to this fact. After a moment, he asked, "But there is one thing I don't understand. My lord, Zero is a warrior of Asgard like us, weishenme"

"You're wrong Kim, you're my warrior, and Zero is Thor's, and you don't have the definition of 'the same' in terms of identity or position. The voice added, "Besides, you only need to carry out my orders, and there is no need to ask so much." Or are you questioning my decision?"

"No, I don't dare!" Kim immediately lowered his head, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down the tip of his nose.

"You don't have to be afraid, I won't blame you. The voice that came from the video said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, Zero is one of the thirteen artificial gods of the old era." That ridiculous Jihua is simply wrong, and Ben even indulges such a person to grow. At the end of the day, Zero is not an Asgard person, and if his Liliang grows to a certain height, he will definitely be a threat to Asgard. So you see, what I'm doing is cleaning up unnecessary hidden dangers for Asgard, but Ben will never admit to doing this, so I can only get rid of zero in secret. ”

"I know the adult, if necessary, the subordinates can immediately go and do this for the adult. ”

"No, there is no certainty of victory with your words alone, and I don't want to lose a strong warrior. Wait, soon, other powerful helpers will come. Until then, you don't do anything. ”

The image flickered and faded away. Before disappearing completely, the voice said, "You come back as soon as possible, before the battle, you still need to improve your liliang." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When the image disappeared, Kim stood up and picked up the brain. He sighed softly, thinking to himself that this vacation seemed to be over.
