It's another dark night.

The night was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and the thick clouds of radiation in the sky were stingy to cast even a trace of heavenly light. Only the light escaping from the energy pipes on the ground of Jotunheim, and the occasional torrent of energy from the top of the obelisk illuminating the sky.

The rest of the place was as dark as a bottomless abyss.

In a dense forest far from Jotunheim, Zero inserted a vibration sensor into the soft woodland and covered it with leaves to form a simple cover. He exhaled, and as the sensor began to work, any anomalies in a radius of nearly a kilometer would be displayed on Agatha's brain through the feedback from nearly ten sensors scattered around him.

The cordon wasn't strict enough, but it was enough to deal with the living corpses. The feeling of being watched had quietly disappeared since Zero fled with Agatha for nearly a few kilometers during the day, after being hung tightly on the ass by the last being on the obelisk in the middle of Jotunheim.

The two fought and fled all day, and even Agatha, who had exercised the least, was tired, let alone Zero, who acted as the main force.

After setting up the cordon, Zero dragged his tired body back to the temporary camp of the two, a natural cave on the edge of the woods.

There was a faint glow in the cave, a bonfire that Agatha had made by picking up a number of dry branches. Because the cave is J-shaped, the bonfire burning in the depths of the cave is only a faint glow when it reaches the entrance of the cave. If you don't get close, it's hard to spot.

Zero clapped two long and one short applause with both hands at the entrance of the cave, which was the two of them saying the haode code in advance. Otherwise, if you rush into the cave, you will be attacked by Agatha. When he walked into the cave, Zero smelled the smell of meat. Even a person like him, who is indifferent by nature, smelled this smell of meat after a hard day's work, and swallowed his saliva twice unconsciously. If Kaede was here, I'm afraid I'd already pounce on the food.

Thinking of Kaede, Zero's face darkened. After escaping the pursuers who knew the will and the living corpses, they tried to contact the others, but the liaison on the Nightgod's tactical suit kept sounding as if it were encountering electromagnetic interference. Even Agatha's attempts to perceive their presence were disturbed by another liliang. In Agatha's perception, the entire Jotunheim was like a black fog that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, and Agatha's spiritual will couldn't break through this black fog at all, let alone find Kaede and the others.

Now, one can only hope that they take care of themselves. When Zero thought so, his steps couldn't help but be a little heavier.

Turning over the mountain wall, the end of the cave is in sight. A bonfire was blazing, and the flames were nearly a meter long, and sparks were constantly splattering out of the flames, floating to the ground in a swaying manner. The bonfire dispels the cold of the night, and the smoke from it is emitted by the natural chimneys of the cave, but does not remain in the cave. Looking up from the chimney, it was pitch black. If it's daytime, you should be able to see the skylight.

Agatha stripped off her black uniform and wore only a close-fitting tactical suit, outlining her beautiful lines that made her throat dry. When Zero walked in, she was setting up the marching stove, and in the small round pot on the stove, two artificial steaks were sizzling and fragrant.

Now that there are no servants by her side, Agatha can only take matters into her own hands and cook food for herself and the two of them. Speaking of cooking, Agatha is only heating, and instant food is cooked food, and spices have been mixed in the food. But when heated, the aroma is stronger.

Zero sat down next to Agatha, who had already taken the improvised utensil, picked up a piece of cooked steak from the pot and put it inside, and handed it to Zero: "Eat it hot, Captain Zero, it's been a hard day." ”

"You too. Zero unceremoniously took the hot utensils, let the steak cool a little, and then used a knife and fork to cut it into thin strips of meat, and then put it in his mouth and chewed slowly. Artificial foods themselves lack muscle fibers, but they have the taste of food and are rich in nutrients, which can be regarded as both in the mouth. But Zero eats it very carefully, as if it were real beef in his mouth.

Agatha smiled slightly: "It seems that Captain Zero should be a person who cherishes food." ”

Swallowing a piece of beef into his stomach, Zero Wenyan sighed: "Captain Agatha must not have been in the wilderness, I remember that the first meal I had in the wilderness for as long as I can remember was moldy black bread, and water with less radiation, but the water was very dirty. At that time, I was thinking, are these things eaten by humans? But I still eat them, because if you don't eat them, you will have to die. ”

Agatha's words reminded Zero of the first meal Leah had arranged for herself when she first woke up at the Z7 base. At that time, he was still not adapting to this cruel era, and thinking about it, it seemed that Leah's voice was still floating in his ears: Do you still have the luxury of eating fresh meat and fruit, which are the delicacies that only the noble lords are entitled to enjoy!

Thinking of Leah, Zero remembers Asgardri's ongoing rebirth Jihua, and I don't know how Victor's progress is now?

Looking at Zero, I thought deeply, and even forgot to eat the rest of the beef. Agatha thought she had touched some unpleasant memories, so she said softly, "I'm sorry. ”

"What? Oh, there's nothing to be said about it, Captain Agatha. Zero came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Actually, you're right, I really haven't lived in the wilderness. Agatha gently bit down on her own steak and tore off a trace of beef with her mouth and stuffed it into her mouth: "My father, who was also a member of the Hammer of Doom a long time ago. I was born in Asgardri, and I am one of the lucky ones compared to many people. I remember my childhood, full of joy. In the new era, I'm afraid few people will have a childhood like mine. ”

Agatha was smiling, but from her smile, Zero felt a faint sadness.

"Happiness naturally comes at a price, and I would not have been able to enjoy such a life if it weren't for my father. But when I was 13 years old, my father was killed in a battle. Although Asgard paid my mother a large pension for this, with the money, my mother ran away with another man. Agatha let out a self-deprecating laugh: "Maybe for her, I'm a 13-year-old oil bottle." I remember begging her so hard that I would work hard, as long as she didn't leave me. But she still left, after all, a man who can protect her is far more important than my daughter. ”

At some point, the utensils in Zero's hand sank slightly. When Zero came back to his senses, he found that his thumb had turned blue due to excessive force.

Agatha lowered her head, using the gesture of eating to keep Zero from seeing her face. But in the shadows that were hidden by the bangs, a few sparkling lights fell. Agatha's faint voice sounded: "But there is nothing wrong with it, thanks to my mother, I have learned to be strong in a difficult life." It wasn't until I was 16 years old that I experienced my first genetic shock and set foot in the realm of capable people. I followed the training day and night, until I entered the Hammer of Doom and became a warrior, and I did not reach my mother. ”

Ironically, the man who had promised to protect his mother ran away after taking away his father's pension. My mother struggled to survive by selling her body, and when Zaijian arrived at me, the beautiful mother of the year was no longer in her prime. She confessed to me and begged for my forgiveness. When I saw her face, I found that I didn't even have the strength to hate her. ”

"After receiving my forgiveness, my mother left. It wasn't long before I heard the news of her passing. Strangely, I didn't feel sad. I didn't think I would feel sad in the future, but now ......" Agatha suddenly raised her head, and there was a mist in her eyes: "But now, weishenme I feel so sad." ”

Zero said lightly: "Pain and sadness are not a bad thing, we will feel this, it is proof that we are alive." ”

As long as you are alive, there is hope to make up for your mistakes or regrets!
