Volume 1 The Lawless Earth Chapter 2 The Golden Right Eye
Updated: 2012-06-21
"All right, Mr. Nardo. Remember to come to me every day to inject an antibiotic, and in a week you will be alive again. However, you should be careful not to touch the water with the wound, otherwise it will worsen. Pale blonde hair draped down, and the owner of the voice had delicate features. In this era of continuous genetic mutation, many things can be sacrificed in order to survive, including appearance, and beautiful women are no longer common.
There is no doubt that the one who is talking is undoubtedly a beautiful woman. He is only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face is still a little immature, but he has the maturity of an adult, and the two completely different temperaments are mixed together to produce another kind of beauty.
He wears a tight-fitting red plaid shirt with a bow at the corners of the shirt at the navel, revealing a waist. It's just that because of the ubiquitous radiation and environmental pollution, the blonde woman's skin is slightly rough. But this small flaw is easy to ignore under her beautiful face.
She was wearing a pair of well-fitting denim shorts, only 14 cm short pants were just enough to cover her round and straight buttocks and slender legs.
The perfect combination of an angelic face and a devil's body makes this blonde girl exude an amazing attraction all around her. Looking at the beautiful and delicious food in front of him, Naerdo, who had not been a woman for more than ten years, couldn't help but swallow his saliva. If a girl like this had been thrown to another base or in the wild, she would have been given to a man a long time ago. In this day and age, violence and sex are the least lacking.
It's just that in Z7 Basic, it's an exception. That's because the blonde girl's grandfather is the owner of this base, Jack. If anyone dares to touch a cold hair of his granddaughter Leah, the black bodyguard who is standing behind the girl at that moment will send a puff of fresh ** lead bullet into your chest.
So Naldor only dared to swallow his saliva, then touched his already bowed head, and dragged his lame body out of the humble infirmary.
"Miss, it's time to go home, the boss should be coming back. The black bodyguard reminded.
The girl Leah replied nonchalantly, "Got it", but the man wandered in front of the medicine cabinet, and then frowned, "There are not enough antibiotics, Hult, we may have to go to the city." ”
The faces of the blacks became unnatural, and the shijie, which had become chaotic, the so-called city was no longer the happy land of the old days. On the contrary, there is a lot of danger there. Mutated creatures hide in the city's underground waterways, while monsters that have been transformed into the living dead by a virus infection roam the ruins of the city. Once a living person is present, they will flock to eat, and for the living dead who do not know horror and pain, hunger is the greatest enemy.
"Let's wait for the boss to come back. Hult muttered that he didn't dare to be a hero, and promised Leah's words.
Hult has not forgotten that half a year ago, a team of ten armed soldiers from the base went to the city, only one of them returned. The man was also confirmed to be infected with the virus, and was shot by Jack Sr. himself. Hult did not want to follow in their footsteps, and he had already decided that when the boss agreed to the young lady's request, he would pretend to be sick to shirk the task.
"Then let's go home first. Leah said, simply packing up her things and pushing the door open.
Black bodyguards followed.
Coming out of the infirmary and walking through a dark passage, an open underground space jumps into view.
Since the Cataclysm, Shijie has experienced floods and radiation, and the surface of the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation. Only such a space hidden hundreds of meters underground, or some anti-nuclear shelters in the old days, can provide the living needs of ordinary humans. The Z7 is more appropriate to be a mine than a base. Compared to the nuclear-proof shelters with complete functional equipment and even water circulation systems, everything at the Z7 base can only be described as rudimentary.
In fact, 20 years ago, the Z7 base was just a newly developed mining base under the Pachlam chaebol. Later, due to the increase of workers, it gradually evolved into the current semi-resident, semi-industrial base.
The materials that are relatively lacking in the Z7 base are water and medicine, the former is okay, and it is regularly delivered by the chaebol. Although it is only Class II drinking water, the amount of radiation carried in it is still within the acceptable range of the human body. It's just that the price of drinking water is expensive, and most of the income of the people in the base is used on it, but they can barely meet their daily needs.
As for medicines, the Parkland chaebol does not provide any. For their big lords, the last thing this shijie lacks is the poor, and the cheapest is also the poor.
The use of precious medicine for the lives of a pariah or two is nothing short of an outrageous luxury.
There are only a small number of drugs in the Z7 base, and there are only two ways to do this. One is to buy from the chaebol at a high price, and the second is to venture into the ruins of the city. In the deserted city, there are often some hospitals with unexpired medicines in their warehouses. It's just that the second path is much more dangerous than the first.
Walking in the living area of the base, Leah saw many people rushing to the operation area. She stopped an oncoming teenager and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, dear Miss Leah. Unbeknownst to you, Master Jack has found a hibernation chamber in the mines, where a survivor of the old era sleeps. Now that Master Jack has brought him back, everyone is rushing to see the excitement. ”
After the boy finished speaking, he said goodbye respectfully, and then joined the flow of people who poured into the operation area.
"Survivor?" Leah grabbed the black Hult's hand, her eyes flashing with excitement, "Let's go, let's take a look." I hope he's a doctor, and I'm too busy as a doctor at the base. ”
The black man couldn't resist her, so he had to go ahead and clear the way for the young lady.
In front of the gate of the operation area, the unique sound of hydraulic machinery echoed in the ears of everyone. With a large cloud of steam spewing out, the dark yellow alloy door that had rusted first retracted. It was contracted for three meters before being opened to both sides through ground pulleys, revealing a deep passage to the mine.
An old-fashioned minecart approaches along the railroad tracks and stops in front of the gate. There is only one minecart base like this, and only Old Jack is eligible to ride it. But now, there's another man on the minecart.
A man.
Wearing the camouflage uniform used in field combat in the old era, this military uniform is new enough to make people crazy with jealousy. But the miniature machine gun that the man casually held in his right hand can calm down even the most crazy people. The man seemed tired, and he leaned back on the minecart and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. It wasn't until Old Jack kicked him in both legs that he opened his eyes.
There was an uproar.
The crowd of onlookers, some even screamed: "Look at his eyes, they are yin and yang eyes." It's the devil's eye."
Phew-
The man's words were interrupted by the rough sound of gunfire, and Old Jack grimaced with a gloomy face, and fired a revolver into the sky, the muzzle of which was still billowing white smoke.
"Shut up for me, whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will send him to God!"
In the Z7 base, Old Jack's words dared to be disobeyed, so the onlookers obediently closed their mouths.
"Grandpa!"
Pushing through the crowd, Leah walked up. She looked at the minecart as well, and saw the man in camouflage and the left eye that glowed like gold.
Leah couldn't help but snort.
At this time, old Jack jumped down and walked towards his granddaughter, blaming the black bodyguard and saying, "What the hell are you doing, how did you bring Leah to the work area, why don't you hurry up and bring her home!"
Old Jack wasn't slow, but someone was faster than him. A figure suddenly passed by him, and came to Leah like a whirlwind, but it was Zero Survivor, whom Old Jack had found in the mine.
Zero looked at Leah in disbelief, the shadow of the dream overlapping with reality. Except for the wrong color of her hair and eyes, everything else is so similar to the girl in her dreams.
He reached out with a trembling hand and fell towards Leah's face.
"Li" Zero called out the name of the girl in her dream.
Leah was in a trance, staring affectionately at the strange man. Between the darkness and the gold, Leah saw her own figure, and the love hidden in her eyes.
"Get out of here, boy!" the black Hult's loud voice brought both Zero and Leah to their senses.
Hotra Kellia raised her huge fist and slammed it towards the Zero Face.
Zero, who came back to his senses, flashed a cold light like the polar region in his eyes. I don't know how he moves, everyone just felt a flower in front of them, but the black man who was taller than zero was thrown to his feet.
Hott opened his mouth to scold, but his mouth suddenly became cold. Look again, there is a jet-black barrel sticking in, which immediately makes the black man drench in a cold sweat.
Zero's gaze fell on Hult's body without a trace of emotion, and the black man's heart was furious. The man's gaze was not looking at a person, but at a corpse.
"Stop!"
A scream came from behind Zero, and he looked back to see Leah like an angry cat. The girl's hair stood on end, and she screamed angrily, "Put the gun away, you are not allowed to do this to Hoth!"
The black man could not speak, but looked at the girl gratefully.
Zero hesitated for a moment before slowly retracting the barrel. As soon as the barrel left Hult's mouth, a strong kick landed on Zero's calf, and he snorted and was involuntarily kicked to his knees. He wanted to get up, but the muzzle of a gun was still glowing at his temple.
"Amazing, boy. But as soon as he woke up, he dared to retreat on Old Jack's territory. Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now and throw it into the wilderness to feed the hounds and the rotting eagles?"
Old Jack held his revolver against Zero's head, and his denture-wearing mouth roared so loudly that saliva flew everywhere, almost splashing on Zero's face.
Zero's face did not change, and he said in a voice that only Old Jack could hear: "You won't"
"You're pretty confident, boy. Old Jack snorted.
The black Hult took the opportunity to get up from the ground and immediately rewarded a left hook. The fierce hook made Zero's whole head swing wildly, and then he slowly turned his head. The left cheek was already red and swollen, but Zero just spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and looked at the black man coldly.
The black man wanted to punch him a few more times, against the revolver of the zero head, but towards the black man's chest. Old Jack's gloomy voice rang out: "Dogs, don't be old Jack's words are the wind in your ears." Then withdraw from the wilderness in front of me, and I will throw you all into the wilderness. If you have the ability, go find those monsters and go out into the wilderness!"
After that, Old Jack said to his granddaughter: "Leah, take this person back first, let him eat and drink enough, and then do an ability evaluation." ”
Leah almost suspected that she had misheard, and she shook her head, "Ability appraisal? Grandpa, do you suspect that he is an anomaly? This is impossible, the survivors have not experienced the day of the cataclysm, and their genes cannot produce evolution points."
"What is impossible in this age of bullshit?" said Old Jack, walking past Leah, and whispered, "Didn't you notice his eyes?
Longan?
Leah's gaze fell on Zero's left eye. At the edge of the golden pupils, silver streaks loom out. Indeed, those are not the eyes that ordinary humans can have.
"The rest of you go back to me, and do whatever you want, or I'll let the mad wolf Ron deduct all of your wages for today!"
Old Jack shouted, dispersing the crowd.
"Come with me. Leah walked over to Zero and asked, "What's your name?"
"Zero"
In his eyes, the cold light dissipated. The dragon's pupils reflected the girl's figure, the figure that had always appeared in his dreams, the only thing that Zero could not be ruthless to.
A mouldy loaf of bread that was hard as a stone, a glass of water floating with unknown impurities. These two things are zero food. He stared blankly at the bread and water on the table, unable to relate to the picture of food in his mind.
From the computer in the hibernation chamber, it was confirmed that he had been asleep for fifty years, during which time his bodily functions and appearance were forever fixed on a certain day fifty years ago. The nutrients in the body are purely controlled by computers, and the nutrients used for life support are continuously injected into the body.
Even so, nutrients are not a substitute for real food. So Zero woke up very weak, and at the same time hungry and panicked.
But no matter how hungry he was, looking at the two foods in front of him, Zero couldn't raise his appetite anyway.
"Eat it. Leah urged, "Don't look ugly, but they don't have any radiation. This is still a special explanation from grandpa, otherwise you will not be able to eat the food that the base usually provides. ”
"This is not the old days, sir. You should be snickering if you can have bread and water for food without radiation sources. 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? As for you, you'll be fine. Leah leaned on the edge of the table, looking at Zero with interest.
Zero frowned, but still picked up the black bread on the plate and shoved it into his mouth.
Watching him eat, Leah pursed her lips and chuckled. Then he asked, "Hey, do you have any special abilities in your right eye?"
"What's wrong with my right eye?" asked Zero, swallowing the bread as hard as a stone, puzzled.
He hadn't looked in the mirror since he woke up, but he didn't know that he had a golden eye. And he didn't notice anything wrong with his Shili, and until now he asked Leah, Zero naturally focused on his right eye.
In the pupils that looked like dragon's eyes, the silver stripes distributed on the edges suddenly concentrated towards the middle, instantly forming vertical pupils like beasts.
And in the field of vision of zero, looking out from the right eye, Shijie has become different!
