Chapter 54: The Chaser
Updated: 2012-07-29
At six o'clock the next day, Zero woke up on time. His biological clock is accurate to the point that the error is no more than 1 second, which is a sign that Zero has a strong control over his body. These things sometimes seem insignificant, but they can make a big difference when it matters most.
Leah was still asleep, and last night was another night of passion. After the passion, like a precipitated good wine, there is only strong love flowing in Zero and Leah. He slipped out of the bed with a force Leah couldn't detect, and he looked at his body with no topless body. The wounds he suffered at Lampez University have largely healed, and the long, thin wounds are now gone. Zero's body is smooth and elastic, and the muscles are explosive without over-inflating.
He himself felt very well as if his body was automatically able to adjust the situation to the best degree. It's as simple as a biological machine, zero thoughts.
There have been too many facts to prove that Zero has been modified, which should also be the cause of his loss of memory. The clue to the past is just a person's name, and after the cataclysm, so many things have changed, and Zero has no confidence in finding his past.
Right now, the priority is Leah's treatment.
Zero changed his clothes and left the station. In turbulent times, people are always quite industrious. After all, if you have more resources, you will have more hope of living. Therefore, although it is still early in the morning, the various shops on the Remut shopping street have already opened their doors and started business.
Zero first went to the equipment processing shop to get back his custom-made bulletproof vest, this vest was very close-fitting, and the empress's soft body fragments were used on the chest and vest according to Zero's design, protecting an important part of Zero's body. In the process of production, the personnel of the equipment store did the test and found that the software fragments were good haode impact resistance, which made them very curious, and asked the next time there is such a good thing, they can consider selling it to the equipment store.
After leaving the equipment shop, Zero visited several more weapon shops. He had wanted to order a special bullet for the M500, but the time did not allow him to do so. Fortunately, Colt still used standard bullets, and bought three base ammunition, including 20 armor-piercing rounds.
After that, Zero also took a fancy to a heavy locomotive. This machine has been modified to have strong horsepower and off-road performance. The shape is rough and wild, full of heavy metal flavor. The rear of the locomotive has a weapon box on the left and right sides, and the concealment box can be popped up by pressing a button on the front of the locomotive. The arsenal was already equipped with a miniature rush, a double-barreled shotgun, an automatic pistol, and even a shoulder-fired missile. Of course, these things come at an additional cost.
Zero Zuihou removed the MANPADS and kept the rest of the equipment, for which the owner of the weapon shop generously gave each a base number of related ammunition.
When he drove the black heavy motorcycle back to the parking place, Zero's credit card was already missing 1,800 yuan.
Looking at the locomotive, Teddy couldn't help but whistle, "Hey, buddy." This thing is so cool, can you lend me a meeting?"
He reached out and stroked the cold metal shell of the locomotive, but soon, the unruly hand was pulled back by the black man Gian. Ji'an looked at the station and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Zero nodded.
Jian didn't say anything, just patted Zero on the shoulder hard. Teddy, on the other hand, gave Zero a thumbs up.
In the tent, Leah came out. She had already packed her things, but in fact, the two of them didn't have any luggage, not even a few clothes. So Leah only had a rucksack, but most of the space inside was filled with water and food.
Fifty kilometres west of Remut is the headquarters of a company called Ron. Ron Co. is engaged in the business of selling mutant creatures, and there are many people who keep mutant creatures as pets or domestic animals, and they are expensive to buy. The Ron Company didn't worry about running out of money, but most of the mutated organisms they caught were sold to the labs of large companies in order to speed up their biochemical and genetic research.
Zero decided to choose this base as his next foothold, where Zero could work part-time as a monster hunter to earn some extra blocks, and he could also inquire about any company's laboratory that could solve Leah's problems through the cooperation channel of Ron Corporation.
In order to travel during the day, Zero also buys Leah a radiation protection kit, which includes clothes, gloves, and shoes. Leah put it back on before putting her cloak back on. She sat behind Zero and clasped Zero tightly in her hands. After a brief farewell to the people who parked there, Zero started the locomotive and drove out of the underground base of Remut.
Just at the exit, Raff stepped out of the shadows, watching the back of the two of them entering the wilderness, a faint smile on the Russian's face.
The modified heavy locomotive has two sources of fuel, one that uses old-time gasoline for combustion and the other that is solar.
For the new era of sunlight, which is full of intense ultraviolet rays, this energy source seems to come more conveniently. Zero switches the fuel mode to the solar option, so two solar panels are stretched out horizontally at the tail of the locomotive, which can efficiently and quickly absorb the sun's energy, convert it into the energy propelled by the locomotive, and store part of the solar energy in the locomotive's battery for backup at other times.
The locomotive's maximum speed is 240 kilometers per hour, and when the zero hand is drawn to 200 kilometers, the reloaded locomotive is like a black lightning bolt running on the unmanned highway. Ordinary people naturally can't control this speed, but the agility enhancement has reached zero in the second order, and his reflex nerves are enough to handle the complex situation of the road. Although the car drove fast, it was very stable, which made Leah, who was sitting in the back, feel at ease.
Zero felt the scorching wind blowing past his face, and this blistering speed made him feel so good that he almost wanted to roar.
As a semi-circular curve was left behind, the figure of the viaduct appeared in Zero's eyes. The viaduct spans a kilometer-wide river, and Zero can already smell the pungent smell of polluted water from the oncoming wind.
Seeing the bridge in sight, Zero's skin suddenly had a pinprick feeling.
Dangerous!
At the same time as this signal emerged from his mind, behind Zero, the roars of other locomotives sounded!
