  After the zero report, the next step was the development of the strategic plan. This stage decided the outcome of the entire battle. According to Biansi's idea, all the military officers should participate together. Although Chalod and Austin were usually haughty and arrogant, they knew that they were experts in war, and simply let the people below do as they pleased.

  They had the manpower to support their families.

  The combat plans continued to be discussed passionately as all sorts of whimsical ideas were put forward one by one. After being filtered out, they would be continuously eliminated in an unrealistic manner. In the end, they had to combine the available resources and manpower before they could come up with the most perfect plan. Obviously, this was not something that could be decided in a short period of time, thus, when he was free, he gave Biansi a signal with his eyes.

  Biansi was also a smart person, she understood immediately and knew that Lingyan wanted to talk to her alone.

  So she quietly left the hall and met with Zero in a single room.

  "It seems like you have some special information to give me." Biansi opened the window to let the room breathe, then walked over to the sofa and sat down. She crossed her legs, revealing a sexy curve under her slit skirt.

  "That's right, you're my boss." With that, he looked at his beautiful legs. Ever since Jodtenheim gave him a new life, Zero felt that his performance had changed. Previously, he was like a string that was about to burst. He had let himself collapse just for the sake of struggling and surviving. So Zero has now learned to relax and appreciate the beauty around him at the right time.

  For example, now.

  Zero had already begun to learn how to adjust its own rhythm. No one could keep tightening that invisible string. Otherwise, if it breaks too tightly, the string will snap.

  Biansi naturally noticed the location of Zero's line of sight, and in her heart, she was slightly blaming Zero for his boldness and rudeness. She held a high position for a long time. Ever since she took over the position of Black Rose Home Lord, she had been engrossed with her career and hard work for the past ten years. Although there was no lack of suitors, they were all ignored by Biansi. Amongst these pursuers, there was no lack of famous people, but no one dared to brazenly stare at her jade legs as she did.

  But then again, this kind of rude gaze from Zero just so happened to be a kind of silent praise for her beauty. Therefore, even though Biansi had received zero attention due to her strange thoughts, she forgot to reprimand Zero for using this kind of gaze to look at her superior.

  Withdrawing his gaze, Su Yun smiled as he took out a pot and pushed it in front of Biansi. Inside the container was a piece of flesh. Biansi could vaguely guess what it was, her beautiful eyes flickered with light as she asked: "This is?"

  "A tissue sample of sick subterranean race Warriors. Interestingly, they used aspirin and Su to treat such sick Warriors. Zero said simply.

  Biansi immediately called over Kasios and passed the specimen to the old butler. "Immediately get someone to analyze the possible virus in the specimen. I want to know the answer within 24 hours."

  Casios nodded his head and Biansi happily sat next to Zero. Biansi patted his shoulder and said, "You did well, I will remember your meritorious service."

  "Compared to merit points, I'm in need of money right now." He then said: "Actually I also have a suggestion, if Bidis City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, then why don't we try to lure Subterranean Clan out from their tortoise shells?"

  "Move them away from home? But how do we get them to leave their nest? " Biansi supported her chin with one hand, while lightly frowning.

  Zero couldn't help but admit that she had a kind of beauty when she thought about it. It was the beauty of the intellect, the beauty of the intellect, the sublimation of the temperament.

  Just as he was thinking, Biansi noticed that Zero's gaze was on him again. She coughed and said, "Since you have put forward this idea, you should have a detailed plan, right?"

  "No, I just thought of the possibility." Zero said as he spread his hands.

  Biansi said snappily: "Then why didn't you bring this up in the meeting and throw this problem at me?"

  Zero laughed and said, "Such a big tree to attract attention. I am just a nobody, it's better if I don't show off." For a suggestion like this, it would be more convincing to hear it from the mouth of the wise and wise Miss Biansi. "

  "Can I understand that this is a form of flattery?" Biansi smiled.

  Zero shook his head, "What I said is the truth."

  He continued, "If there is nothing else, I will head down to rest. "If anything turns out to be wrong, please notify me when the time comes."

  Biansi nodded, then released Zero and left. After passing through, the beautiful patriarch lightly said: "Actually, I would rather you call me the beautiful Biansi. Sigh …"

  A faint sigh echoed through the empty room. For a moment, a slight melancholy filled the room.

  As he was walking out of the villa, a black car stopped right in front of the entrance. Charon got off from the car, and was pushed up to the puppet mayor by Asgard with one hand. His face was red, and he seemed to be satisfied with his current position. Charon was an ambitious person, how could he be willing to be the chairman of the merchant guild? Although he had Chalod and Austin, two tycoons in power, in the Pavaric, he still had unparalleled authority.

  Moreover, Chalod and Yue Yang had already informed him that as long as he managed this town properly, it would naturally benefit him. Charon knew that he wouldn't be able to rebel against these two Wealthy Classes. Since that was the case, why not cooperate obediently?

  And with the departure of the Mensa and the death of Fred, within the Pavaric, Charon had covered the sky with one hand. In the past two days, Charon had gone to Bidis City, but Charon was busy with taking over the affairs of the mayor, tasting the sweet taste of power, Charon was naturally in high spirits.

  Now that they have run into zero, Charon walked over with a satisfied smile. "So it's Mr. Zero, I heard that you returned safely last night, I am quite happy. It's a pity that there have been too many things to do in the past two days.

  Zero laughed and said: Mr. Charon is busy with important people right now, how can I disturb you?

  "Since Mr. Zero has said so, then we should take it as an invitation. May I ask where Mr. Zero is heading to now?"

  "I've never thought about it. The boss gave me a break for half a day. I wonder if there's any quiet place in this town. I want to be by myself for a while."

  Charon thought for a while, then patted his head and said, "There is an artificial lake on the west side of the town, and that is our town's water storage lake. It's quieter there, and there are a few mutated fish that can resist radiation in the lake. When we are on vacation, I usually go there to catch fish and steal something. If Mr. Zero likes it, I can get someone to bring you fishing gear. "

  "Mr. Charon sure knows how to enjoy himself. Thank you for your trouble, I will go and catch some fish to pass the time." Zero said.

  Not long after that, Charon had already brought the fishing gear people brought over and had the driver take him to the artificial lake at the outskirts of the town. This was a good place, facing the endless snow plains, the surroundings were quiet and no one dared to disturb him. At the edge of a huge artificial lake, there were a few sets of water purifier parts working. These equipments were automatically operated 24 hours a day. Every few days, there would be a staff member to check them out. At this moment, there was only one person by the artificial lake.

  He looked at the fishing rod in his hands and the extra bait Charon had gifted him. He shook his head and laughed, then sat down cross-legged on the lakeside.

  Fishing was something that could be enjoyed by the common people in the old era, even the nobles and officials alike. However, in the new era, this was a luxury. During the turbulent times, everyone was struggling to survive. How could they have the time to
waste on fishing? Furthermore, even if they had the time to waste, it wasn't everywhere that they could find a place to fish.

  The pollution of the environment and the radiation on the surface have made the natural rivers and lakes unsuitable for life. In order to create a safe living environment, most of the cities were located underground. Under these conditions, every inch of land was a precious resource, so how could they have built a fishing ground for entertainment?

  Therefore, the artificial lake called the Pavaric could be said to be one of a kind. The few mutated fishes kept in the lake were the products of some of the rivers in the silverfrost dense forest. Only the mutated fish that survived under special geographical conditions were able to survive in the world of the surface under such harsh conditions. With them, there would be zero to fish in.

  Zero put a fat earthworm about the size of a finger on the hook. This earthworm had inherited the split characteristics of the same species from the old era, and it had evolved this characteristic to its fullest extent. Usually, when the mutated earthworm was cut in two, the surface of the crack would quickly decompose many proteins and genetic tissues, regrowing and splitting at a terrifying speed, so it was very difficult to kill it.

  A fat earthworm like this, in some barren places, was a rare delicacy on a migrant's table. After all, there were very few such protein-rich, almost harmless things in this era.

  Using this earthworm as bait, he forcefully shook the fishing rod, throwing the hook into a parabola in the air before landing it on the surface of the lake a hundred meters away. It was afternoon and the weather was not too bad. There was not much wind. Occasionally, a light wind would blow past, causing ripples to form on the mirror-like lake surface. The carefree time made Zero lazy. He even yawned.

  For Zero, it was a rare pleasure to live for half a day like this and leave the bloody and cruel battlefield.

  Listening to the whispering wind and looking at the sparkling lake, Zero could only feel his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Just as he was about to doze off, Zero suddenly opened its eyes wide and jumped up from the ground, ready to fight at any time.

  Just now, he felt that something was wrong. It was as if someone was sneaking up from behind and preparing to ambush him. But when he turned, looking left and right, there was no one there. Near the artificial lake was a flat patch of snow, and the scenery was clear at a glance. If someone were to sneak in, he would not be able to escape from the eyes of Zero.

  He smiled and said to himself, "It seems that I am a bit nervous now."

  As he spoke, he returned to his seat. At this time, the fishing rod suddenly swayed, as if a big fish was taking the bait. Zero immediately went to catch the fishing rod, and just as he was about to raise it, a pitch-black military blade silently slashed horizontally towards Zero's neck!

  A dagger suddenly appeared in Zero's hand. Zero quickly went up to block the sword. He pulled the dagger to get rid of the enemy's attack. Then, he turned around and stabbed the dagger at the attacker's back.

  The reason why he talked to himself and put on a relaxed posture was to numb the attacker. Although he hadn't discovered anything before zero, he trusted his instincts. This feeling of danger had saved his life who knows how many times. He believed that it would not be an exception this time. It turned out that his judgement was correct, but the dagger cut through the air.

  Behind him was a snowy plain, and in the distance, the outline of a building in Parvary. Zero quickly scanned the surroundings but still did not find any suspicious person. It was as if the attacker had hidden himself. However, Zero did not think so. At the same time it made its move, Zero's right eye had already changed to a different color spectrum. If the attacker was using their ability or equipment to stealth, they would definitely be caught by some chromatographic vision.

  However, he didn't discover anything. However, in the snow nearby, there were many shallow footprints appearing one after another. It was just that every time, Zero would be a beat slower and wouldn't be able to track the movements of the ambusher. This meant that the opponent's speed was very fast, and he had used a special footwork technique to appear at a dead angle of zero line of sight, thus creating this kind of stealth effect.

  This was a terrifying opponent!

  Chapter 399 - Fishing (III)

  The artificial lake was quiet, but at the same time, it was also filled with a surging undercurrent.

  He held the dagger in his hand and lowered his body slightly, maintaining a state of tension between relaxation and collapse.

  This was a posture that maximized the body's conditioned reflex.

  This terrifying assassin was using some kind of strange footwork and terrifying speed to appear in the blind spot. More and more messy footprints appeared around him, making it impossible for Zero to deduce their trajectory and patterns. The only thing Zero could do was to hand everything over to his body.

  After experiencing countless battles, Zero knew that his body would naturally react appropriately when faced with a crisis. Whether it was evasion or counterattack, the body's intuition was even faster than the brain's reaction speed. This was a battle instinct formed from countless life and death experiences. It transcended the range of any combat skill, refined and direct!

  Thump! Thump! Thump!

  The sound of three light footsteps rang out in succession. The attacker stepped on the offensive notes as a pitch-black military blade appeared out of nowhere. The tip of the saber tilted slightly, reducing the wind resistance to its limit. It was so great that it barely made a sound as it was pushed towards Su Chen's waist.

  Zero only felt his waist go numb and his body react naturally.

  He used the dagger to block, parry, and push. He made a turn and attacked the attacker head-on.

  The pitch-black military blade made all sorts of slashing movements as it clashed with the short dagger. In an instant, the blades clashed countless times, causing bursts of sparks to burst forth. A spark flashed, causing Zero to be unable to see the face of the attacker.

  The pressure on the dagger suddenly lessened, and he used all his strength to throw himself forward. He immediately retracted his hand, only to discover that the attacker had once again hidden himself.

  The two of them were once again in a stalemate, but this time it did not last long. A moment later, a strange vibration occurred in the air, followed by a sharp whistle.

  A slight numbness appeared on his left shoulder.

  Without much time to think, he turned his body to the side and saw a snow wave pass by him. Snowflakes flew everywhere. The tip of the black military knife was faintly discernible. The attacker brought along a wave of snow as he rushed past. When the snowflakes fell on the ground, Zero could feel a bit of killing intent behind him.

  His speed was too fast!

  In his heart, he was secretly impressed by the attacker's speed and made a dodging motion. After a few consecutive stabs, the snow around the artificial lake had already turned into a mess. There were several criss-crossing snow marks near where Zero was, indicating that the attacker had attacked. Out of these few quick attacks, Zero had only been able to touch his opponent's sword once, but it had almost caused him to lose his balance.

  In this sort of close-combat situation, once one's center of gravity became unstable, it would result in a fatal blow.

  He couldn't allow himself to be beaten so passively!

  A thin golden flame spewed out from Zero's right eye. The authority of rank 3 was lifted from the God's right eye. It was the ability to channel 'Prophet' with all of its power. Just as cold killing intent appeared behind him, time suddenly slowed down.

  In the prophet's deduction, the attacker once again stabbed forward with a military knife. According to the speed of their previous exchange, Zero knew that if he did not dodge, the enemy's sword would pierce into his back in half a second. If the opponent's combat skills were good enough, then after breaking into the zero body, the military knife would use t
he concussion technique to destroy the zero spinal column and the nearby nerves, as well as the blood vessels and other organs within the body.

  In short, even for a transformed body like zero, it was still a huge damage.

  According to the prophet's deduction, a number of countermeasures could be obtained if the zero brain did its best. In the end, he chose one of them and immediately put it into action.

  A cold light flashed.

  Zero suddenly dove into the snow in front of him, trying to dodge his opponent's attack faster. If Zero used the strategy of turning around to face the enemy, it would still be a beat slower in terms of time. In such a perilous battle, even 1 ms was a very precious amount of time.

  The attacker was surprised.

  The moment Zero touched the snow, his legs fiercely crossed over each other, immediately giving off the feeling of holding onto something. He did not stop there. He twisted the attacker in his hands and threw him to the ground. With this, Zero circled the man in the snow. He was already riding on top of the attacker. After controlling his body, he placed one hand on his opponent's chest and the other on his attacker's neck with his dagger.

  At this moment, he finally had time to figure out who the person who ambushed him was.

  Unexpectedly, what appeared before his eyes, was actually Yoru's naturally dazed face. Ling also realized that in the battle just now, the weapon in Yoru's hand was flung towards the snow, but it was no longer the pitch-black military blade. It was a meter-long alloy saber. Zero broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he was lucky.

  One had to know that his deduction had been based on the premise that the attacker had used a military knife. If Zero had not pounced towards the ground and had instead wanted to turn around and face the enemy. Then he must have misjudged the length of Yoru's weapon and would have been hit halfway through his turn.

  After all, sabers were much longer than sabers.
