Chapter 513: Before Dawn
Marco lit a cigarette for himself.
He was sleepy, but now was not the time to sleep. So despite his bloodshot eyes, he squatted in his duty position, relying on nicotine to refresh himself.
In front of Marco was a darkness that could not be dissolved. It was already 4:50 a.m., but it was the darkest time of the day. The cold wind blowing in his face warned Marco that even though it seemed so quiet in the dark, he could not let his guard down a little. After all, this is not in a corporate base near Asgard, but in some abandoned military fortress in the western tundra.
This is the land that humanity has never touched deeply, and every inch of it is new to Marco, but it is also dangerous.
Marco never imagined that one day he would be able to come to the tundra thousands of miles away, something he had never imagined before.
When Marco was young, his willingness was to become a mercenary and earn enough money to marry and have children at the age of 25. To have at least four or five children, and then either die on the battlefield or die in a comfy bed, that's all he has to do.
However, fate took a 180-degree turn after he entered the Zero Company, and he not only became one of the hundreds of soldiers of high-level abilities, but also miraculously produced a genetic shock after injecting three genetic enhancement potions in a row, and successfully possessed the first evolution point in his life, and since then he has stepped into the Shijie of ability.
Of course, in Shijie, Marco is still like an ant. Even after just a few months, he had already advanced to the third rank, but it couldn't change this fact.
Just think about his head, and the violent Su, and the other perverts, and Marco knows his weakness very well. For those people, Marco is not much different from ordinary people. He was well aware of this, and he also knew that his potential was limited, so when improving his abilities, Marco wisely invested his limited evolution points into a few reconnaissance abilities in the Perception Domain, rather than focusing on the immediate abilities of Liliang, Defense, and Agility like most people.
Marco's commitment proved to be worth it, as he possessed recon skills that other soldiers did not have, and Marco was quickly promoted to captain of the scout team by Commander Brown.
Unfortunately, all the way west, Marco's reconnaissance team was killed and wounded, and now he is the only captain left. But it doesn't matter, as long as he returns alive, Marco knows that he will get a new team member. And he himself will more or less accumulate some evolution points, which will make his position in the army more and more solid.
Under the influence of nicotine, Marco regained some of his spirits. He yawned and clutched the Darkmoon rifle in his arms. There was still more than an hour before the shift was due, and Marco told himself to hold on a little longer, and then he could throw himself into the not-so-soft bunk and barely sleep on it for two or three hours. And then, it will probably be another difficult journey.
As he yawned for the third time, something suddenly flashed in the darkness in the distance. It's like light, fleeting.
Marco suddenly collapsed, grabbed his rifle and stood up. When you close your eyes and open them again, the center of your pupil is already a little dark red. Infrared vision, the basic ability of the perception domain, allows the capable person to see things in the dark. The higher the level of ability, the wider the field of vision. At present, Marco has only improved to the third order in this ability, and the third-order infrared vision can already allow him to see things within eight hundred meters.
So Marco saw a dagger.
It appeared abruptly in the square three hundred meters away, with a palm pinned under the dagger. The palm of the hand was broken at the wrist, and from the fact that there was still blood flowing from the face, it seemed that it had just been chopped off from someone.
Marco snorted, he just wanted to warn. Suddenly, my whole body was cold, and a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake arose.
A cold breath sprayed on the back of Marco's neck, as if the wind was blowing from behind. But Marco remembers that there was a wall behind him, and there was no gap for the wind to pass through. But before he could react, Marco felt a pain in his lumbar spine, and then the sound of broken bones came from his body. In an instant, Marco lost any liliang, and his body became fluttering at the same time.
His eyes widened as he watched the ground get closer and closer to him, Zuihou's cheeks pressed against the cold ground. Then the viscous, crimson liquid gradually flowed in front of his eyes, and then spread like a blood-red snake through the cracks in the ground.
"There are three more, Jenny has to hurry, or Betsy must be in a hurry. ”
A low, shrill voice sounded overhead. Then a foot stepped over Mark's head and landed in front of his eyes, stomping heavily on Mark's still warm blood, and followed one footprint after another and walked forward. So Marco gradually realized that this was a man dressed in a circus clown costume. As if noticing that Marco was not immediately dead, the clown suddenly turned around. A big grin appeared on his ridiculously painted face, but the next moment he threw a dagger.
The dagger hit Marco's eyebrows, and Marco only felt that his head was cold, and he lost any consciousness.
He's dead.
1 minute ago, he was full of hope for the future, but 1 minute later, he turned into a cold corpse.
And there are already three corpses like this around the soldiers' quarters!
Zero woke up suddenly.
Without any warning, one moment was still in a deep sleep, and at this moment both the body and the mind have regained consciousness.
He was sleeping on a soft bed made of bearskin, and next to Leah was curling herself into Zero's arms as best she could. Outside the window was the pre-dawn darkness and silence, and everything seemed so normal, so normal that there was no reason to wake up.
But he still woke up, so there was only one explanation.
An unknown danger looms like a poisonous snake.
It's zero intuition, and for many people, intuition is the sixth sense, the feeling beyond the five senses. As for Zero, his intuition doesn't come from his sixth sense. Rather, it is a danger signal that the brain sends to zero when it receives information and data from the outside world all the time, analyzes it and then makes a judgment about potential threats.
Zero's intuition has always been accurate, but if he used to have beastly intuition. Well, since the memory DNA set that had been sleeping in the white blood cell base began to awaken after being stimulated by the undead in the white blood cell base, his intuition was more like the data obtained by a precise machine after careful analysis.
Therefore, zero trusts one's feelings unconditionally.
Bounced up from the bed, when a force erupted from Zero, it was Zero a warning. Almost as soon as he unleashed his might, an orange-red light suddenly appeared on the ceiling, and the concrete ceiling continued to shine through the fire, and waves of heat surged downward.
Zero grabbed the bear skin on the ground and shook it vigorously. Leah fell into Zero's arms with Leah's skin wrapped in the bearskin, and Leah woke up frightened. While rolling up Leah, Zero kicked up the battleship's guns that were placed on the ground. The moment he fished the heavy sniper in his hand, Zero turned around and ran towards the window.
Bounced off the ground, and then jumped out of the window with Leah in his arms. Zero's hand lifts the heavy sniper in the direction of the ceiling and it is a shot.
The metal bullet instantly sank into the ceiling, which had become like cooked butter, and the concrete slab suddenly split apart, and a large stream of flames poured down like a lava. With the help of the recoil of the heavy sniper shot, Zero and Leah accelerated towards the square outside the soldier's quarters.
From zero to the sudden attack and out of the window, the whole process only happened in a few seconds. At the same time as zero warning, the vegetarian who slept next door also reacted very quickly. She had already picked up the giant sword on the ground as she bounced off the ground, and then she felt a strong reaction of fire elemental energy coming from above the next room.
Just as he was about to break through the wall, the door to the room suddenly shattered. Thousands of black flames were mixed with the fragments, and they flowed towards the Su Ling Cover. A cold light flashed in Su's eyes, and the heavy sword flicked up, drawing a perfect circle in mid-air. At that time, under the traction of the energy force field attached to the sword, the fragments of the door and the jet of the Stygian Flame were bound together. With another swing of the heavy sword, he swept all these things aside.
But at this time, a figure rushed to the door. Then a huge fist with black flames blasted towards Su, Su Leng snorted, and the aura of battle intent depicting mysterious symbols under his feet instantly expanded, and at the same time, the red light on his body flickered, but it was the energy light armor that activated the destructive posture. After activating both abilities at the same time, Su's left hand was pinched into a fist and slammed into the opponent's fist.
When two fists that were far apart collided together, they were evenly matched. Invisible shockwaves spread out from the intersection of the fists, and cobweb-like cracks spread across the ground, and the walls on either side of the room shattered, revealing a huge hole in which steel bars that were also twisted by the shockwave could be seen.
At this time, Su saw that the attack was a woman with a bewitching body, but with demonic arms and anti-knuckle legs. This woman is no stranger to Su, and in the tunnel at the entrance to Mobistone Market, Su and this woman have fought before. So when I saw that it was her, I was a little surprised: "It's you again?"
"That's right, the old lady is here to harvest your little life. Pedfanie stretched out her tongue and wiped it over her lips, revealing a thousand expressions.
Su sneered: "I don't know who killed whom!"
The heavy sword swept away, and with a terrible red light, Su Yijian slashed towards Pederfanie.
Pedefany refused, slamming her fist wrapped around the flames into the blade of the heavy sword.
When the shock wave overflowed, a huge crack was torn under the feet of the two people.
The two of them snorted at the same time, each took a step back, and instantly rushed forward. Following the sword shadows, they flew and collided with the huge fist shadows. Each impact produced a muffled thunderous explosion and a huge crack in the Dao. The two terrible women clash with each other, and the burst of shockwaves continue to destroy the structure of the dormitory. After a few seconds of standoff, the entire room had turned into a pile of rubble.
The sound of messy footsteps resounded in the dormitory, whether it was the power of Zero's release or the movement caused by the fight between Su and Pederfani, which had already awakened the rest of the dormitory. At the first moment, Baltimore jumped from the window to the square with Ademili on his back, and Brown and the others left the barracks one after another. They all knew that it was not good to meet the enemy in a more complex environment such as a soldier's dormitory, on the contrary, the open square was more able to let go of their hands and feet.
Before a few servants on the first floor of the dormitory could run out of the dormitory, the wall behind them suddenly collapsed, and a huge figure crashed in like a tank. One of the soldiers couldn't avoid it, and was hit by the figure, and the whole person flew out.
The sound of broken bones and blood cracking rang out in the air, and by the time the soldier fell to the ground, it had turned into a mass of flesh. The other soldiers finally reacted, and immediately roared and attacked the figure with their machine guns in their hands. The figure was five meters tall, almost like a small mountain. When the soldiers attacked with machine guns, the giant protected his head and face with a dark red sword, and the rest of the place was left to rain bullets.
The firing lasted nearly a minute, and when all the ammunition in the machine guns was empty, the soldiers were desperate to find that the giant had not shed even a drop of blood. The giant's feet were covered with bullets, which showed the density of the barrage just now, but it was unscathed. The giant removed the crimson greatsword, revealing a one-eyed head. As One-Eye turned to look at the soldiers, the giant let out a roar, and the crimson greatsword slashed at the soldiers.
Taken by the giant's might, the soldiers couldn't react for a while. Seeing that he was about to be cut in half, one leg was inserted horizontally, and he stepped heavily on the blade of the great sword. The sound of metal moans suddenly sounded in the space, and the dark red greatsword was directly stepped on and slashed into the ground. Only then did the soldiers see Starley, dressed in black uniform, standing in front of the giant with a wine bottle in one hand and a mouth in the other.
"Get out of here, this guy isn't up to you. Staley yawned and waved his hand.
Only then did the soldiers react and immediately ran out of the barracks with machine guns. Starley then squinted at the giant and said, "Then man, where you come from, get out of here for me!"
Say, Staley inhales, bows, bends arms, clenches fists, and bombards!
A fierce hook hit the giant in the chest, and at the touch point of the fist, the giant's muscles first formed layers of wrinkles like waves. With Staley's punch exploding, the giant spun and fell, like a large ball of flesh grazing all the way across the ground, and Zuihou flew upside down from the gap it had crashed into before. At this time, the invisible seismic wave expanded in all directions in a circle, and countless dense cracks were shaken out along the way, whether it encountered walls or load-bearing columns.
The space on the first floor was filled with a scream like a missile, and the strong explosion blew the black wind that Staley had simply draped over his body into the air, and then slowly floated down.
Just as the uniform was about to fall to the ground, a burst of red lightning burst through the air, instantly shattering the uniform and staggering past Starley.
Starley marched, and then heard the sound of the bottle popping. He looked at the hand holding the bottle, and now there was only one bottle of wine left in his hand, and the few fine wines spilled on the ground, and immediately the rich aroma of wine wafted up.
Starley's face ached, and his eyes were red and glared in the direction of the gap: "Okay, you managed to provoke me, and now I'm really angry, just use your life to pay for my bar!"
