Zero helplessly sat on the Ferris Wheel and watched as the steel frame of the Ferris Wheel was melted before bringing him along and smashing towards the ground that had turned into a sea of fire.
The scene changed again.
Then he saw that beautiful figure again, chasing the wind like a happy spirit in a field of flowers. Zero still couldn't see her clearly, and when he tried to get closer, she stopped.
Turning around, she faced him.
That blurry face gradually became clearer, and she became Lea.
"Zero, save me!"
Lea called out, following that, his face changed again, and Hans's devil-like face appeared in Zero's eyes.
The Han Dynasty cultivator's face and the body of the young girl formed a bizarre and strange scene.
With a loud shout, the scene before his eyes disappeared completely. Then there were all sorts of strange sounds, human voices yelling, and instruments working. All he could see was a blurry figure of light. Within that figure of light, many distorted figures were moving about. After a slight numbing sensation passed through his body, Zero once again fell unconscious.
However, this time, he did not have any strange dreams.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the Phoenix City outside his window.
"Zero, you're awake?"
A childish yet pleasantly surprised voice rang in his ears.
The voice still came from very far away, sounding hollow and long. After a while, Zero finally got used to the body that was gradually waking up from its deep sleep. He turned his head and saw Moni.
On Moni's head, there was a hand pressing down on her head of silver hair. The little beast seemed to be in good spirits. When it saw Zero, it let out a happy cry and was about to smash onto Zero's body. However, she was caught by Moni while she was in the air, hence she could only look at the young girl with a wronged expression.
"How many days have I slept?" Zero asked and realized that his voice was hoarse like never before.
Moni's eyes were a little red, she tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her small face: "Not much, just for two or three days."
"Strictly speaking, 78 hours, lucky boy."
A huge figure appeared on the other side of Zero. It was none other than Officer George. George's expression did not look good. The dark circles on his face indicated that he had not rested very well recently. The densely packed stubble on his chin made him look even more haggard.
George casually threw a bill onto Su Yun's chest: "It's great to see that you're not dead, otherwise, this bill would have no end. Listen, buddy, you don't even know how lucky you are. When we found you, you were dying. "Damn it, no matter who it is, if there's an extra hole in their chest, they won't be able to survive. However, you managed to survive. I have to say, it's a miracle!"
With a smile, he used his numb hands to pick up the bill and look at it. Immediately, his expression changed.
On the bill, the number "8230" was there. He hadn't expected that after sleeping for three days, he had used up almost all of his savings. He could not help but feel bitter in his mouth, even though he had not earned a single cent of the interest on the Parkland, he himself was already on the verge of becoming a negative asset.
Seeing the change in Ling Xiao's expression, George couldn't help but laugh out loud and snatch the bill away. He then rolled them into a ball and threw them into the trash can.
Zero looked at him in confusion.
George used a finger to point at his body and said: "It's fine, all the expenses to save you, have already been paid by your body."
Su Li's face changed.
George laughed again, and said: "Don't worry, it's not that abnormal that has set his sights on your body. Although your body is indeed beautiful, even more beautiful than some women. Well, what I'm trying to say is that the lunatics at the military hospital are very interested in your physical stats. They say that as long as you cooperate with the examination during the hospitalization, not only will the expenses be waived, but you will also be paid extra when you leave the hospital. I say, man, you're lucky. "
Zero didn't think so. He didn't want his body to attract any attention. However, the unconscious him, seemed to have successfully made the doctors in Phoenix City notice some of the abnormalities in his body, and had even listed him as a research subject without permission. Zero had decided to destroy all the relevant data before he left.
"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." George clapped his hands on Ling Yun's body, "Concentrate on recuperating. In Phoenix City, no one dares to hurt you. I still have this bit of confidence."
Saying that, George stood up and revealed a perverted smile towards Moni. Moni was not afraid, but smiled at him enchantingly. was stunned, then she shook her head and left the room.
Although George reassured Su Yun, he couldn't let his guard down. Since the Parkland had made their move, they must have also came over one after another. He decided to leave the Phoenix City as soon as possible. He did not like the passive side of the situation. On the contrary, he wanted to kill the killer from Parkland. If he wanted to do this, he would have to pull him to his home ground.
The home ground of zero was the wilderness!
George was on his way back to the army Command post.
Phoenix City's situation was not good, the operation of the lair ended with failure. On that day, when Bryan was killed, the Finry's wolf who had lost command could not organize an effective counterattack, and was thrown into disarray by the Phoenix City's army.
However, at the end of the King's Slaying Operation, something went wrong. A Finry's wolf appeared out of nowhere and killed three members of the King's Slaying Team in one go. Of the remaining three, Sario was still nowhere to be seen, and Kazuo Watanabe was heavily injured. As for the difference, it was still lying in the hospital.
The higher ups of the Phoenix City attached great importance to this evolved werewolf. As he did not know that the first person he came into contact with was actually zero, Phoenix City focused all of his attention on Kazuo Watanabe, the survivor.
Kazuo Watanabe was currently being controlled in the Command post army, with someone specially responsible for watching over him. Phoenix City hoped to learn more about the werewolf from Kazuo Watanabe, but now it seemed like this method would not work, because Kazuo Watanabe had gone mad!
Chapter 120 - Competition
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! "
A one-armed man was huddled at the foot of the bed, shivering and trying to get under the bed. However, two able-bodied male nurses pulled him out and forced him to pull up by the sleeves so that the doctor could inject a sedative into his hand.
The man gradually quieted down, but he was still lying on the bed, constantly saying the words "don't kill me". If he were here, he would recognize who the lunatic Kazuo Watanabe was.
In a completely dark room, a huge screen of light displayed the scene of Kazuo Watanabe's ward. On the left side of the light screen, there were five small screens that reflected Kazuo Watanabe's image from different angles. Under each screen of light, there were different data throbbing. Each line of data represented the condition of Kazuo Watanabe's body.
In front of the huge screen stood a man.
The man wore a neat military uniform with a golden phoenix emblem on his chest. He was no longer young, and his silver hair showed his age from the other side. However, even though he was already seventy years old, the light in his eyes was not any less than that of the young man. In fact, it was even a few times sharper than that of the young man.
Suddenly, a rectangular light appeared in the dark room. In the light, George walked in. When the rectangular alloy door closed, the room was dark again, only the screen in front was still lit.
George walked behind him and respectfully looked at this man.
His name was Morgan, and he was a general in the Phoenix City. General Morgan was the founder of the Phoenix City. Even though there was an add
itional board of directors, other than the military, the General Morgan was still the supreme ruler of the Phoenix City. His iron-blooded attitude caused even the mediocre merchants on the board to have to look at him and talk.
"Still no news of the werewolves?"
George lowered his head, and faced the general's question, he said in a heavy voice: "I am sorry, General Morgan. The new life form of the Finry's wolf seemed to have already left the Morin.
The general suddenly sighed.
"You must find it, George. It's important to us. "
George nodded: "We will do our best, General."
To the Phoenix City, the werewolves were like what the General Morgan had said, they were very important targets of research.
After Cataclysm Day, the genes of all living beings on the earth underwent a world-shaking change. All the time, the creatures were evolving. However, the fundamental change in the life forms of werewolves was an extremely rare example.
After solving the most basic problem of warmth, hunger, and survival, the slowly developing headquarter city began to pay attention to the study of life genes. The most representative in this area was naturally the Dark Council. In terms of genes, the Dark Council was way ahead of other cities. The Phoenix City's research started twenty years ago, but due to resource constraints, it became a long research field with little success.
As everyone knew, in the turbulent times, whoever grasped the secret of gene evolution would become the overlord of the earth. The Dark Council had already proven this with iron evidence. The genetic techniques that were far more advanced than other cities made the lower ranked Adepts in the Dark Council produce their products in large quantities. Of course, the abilities of those at the seventh step and above could not be increased using potions, but the ability to produce many Adepts below the fifth step allowed the Dark Council to stabilize his position as a Mainland China Great Leader.
In the records of the few large corporations and cities, only the mysterious organization Hall of Heroic Spirits was able to contend against the Dark Council.
And the strength of the Dark Council, was naturally thanks to the mystery of life that they had constantly discovered in their genetic research institute.
The reason the General Morgan placed such importance on the evolution of Finry's wolf was also because this evolution would help the Phoenix City make a qualitative breakthrough in his genetic research. But at this moment, when the evolved lifeforms had not been discovered, Kazuo Watanabe, who had a frontal battle record with the evolved lifeforms and had survived, was an important target for the scientists in the Phoenix City to understand the data on the evolved lifeforms from a side.
In the end, in order to survive, humans and metamorph were outside of the competition. The competition between humans was unavoidable. The Phoenix City was the same, while the new city Remot was also the same.
Unfortunately, no matter how one looked at it, the crazy Kazuo Watanabe could not provide any more information.
Disappointed, General Morgan shook his head and left the room. After the general left, the lights lit up, and George looked at Kazuo Watanabe who was inside the light screen with his hands behind his back. Then he gave the general an order.
"Throw this piece of trash out of the city." George said to the messenger.
This was a realistic and cruel era. Since Kazuo Watanabe had no value in using him, the Phoenix City would naturally not provide him with any means of survival. So after half an hour, the A Land Cruiser drove out of the Phoenix City, and kicked Kazuo Watanabe out of the car as if he was throwing trash into the desolate wilderness. Seeing Kazuo Watanabe rolling and rolling on the ground, the Phoenix City's soldiers coldly drove the carriage back to the Phoenix City.
But when the soldiers of the Phoenix City left the area, Kazuo Watanabe who was rolling on the ground slowly stood up. He coldly looked in the direction of the Phoenix City and grabbed onto his only coarse hemp cloak, then walked towards the direction of the Morin.
At the moment, Kazuo Watanabe's face was filled with patience, he did not look like a lunatic at all.
In fact, his madness was an act. But to deceive doctors and instruments, Kazuo Watanabe had really almost gone mad. He had no choice but to do this. From the moment George rescued him and directly sent him to the Command post s of the army, Kazuo Watanabe had already faintly guessed what the Phoenix City was thinking.
If Kazuo Watanabe did not pretend to be crazy, then he had to stay in the Command post. Even if Phoenix City found the werewolf, due to the principle of not revealing the information to others, Kazuo Watanabe would still be killed secretly in the end. Therefore, he pretended to be shocked to the point of going crazy in order to make the Phoenix City take the initiative to abandon him.
Just like now, throwing him out of the city like a piece of trash. Right now, Kazuo Watanabe could only leave before Phoenix City finds out. He did not want to return to the Morin. Who knew if the werewolf was still in the city. But unless Kazuo Watanabe wanted to pass through the Death Ridge, the Morin was his only resting place.
In times of turmoil, everyone had to rack their brains for survival. Although Kazuo Watanabe had successfully left the Phoenix City, it was not easy for the Morin to survive either, especially at this moment when the Japanese swordsman had lost a hand and his body was completely unarmed.
But just like many people, sometimes, you don't have many choices!
Chapter 121 - Assassination
Lan Qi entered the Phoenix City's medical center as if nothing had happened.
Early in the morning, on the day Su Yun was rescued by the Phoenix City's army, Lan Qi had used his fake ID to enter the city. The ID card was a fake, but it was only when compared to Lan Qi's real identity. In fact, the Dorudev he had used to register was there, but that was just another identity of Lankey's.
White-headed Eagle were not people who would give up easily, otherwise he would not have been able to stay in the Southwest Land for five years. The sniping in the wilderness had ended in failure, but that didn't mean that zero's life was guaranteed. Whether it was for revenge or Soren's orders, Lan Qi never would have thought that he would let go of this opportunity.
But he also knew that killing Zergs in the Phoenix City was a hundred times more difficult than killing him in the wilderness. After all, Lan Qi couldn't cause too much of a commotion in the city, so the best way was to assassinate him.
He'd been lurking in the city for seven days, and what he did every day was dress up as a different kind of person and go to the hospital, memorizing the entire medical center's plane structure while more Lange tried to understand the zero situation.
The fact that Zero was still alive was beyond Lan Qi's expectations. He had not used a normal sniper rifle, but a armor piercing bullet. Even the composite tank could make a hole in it, and Zero was no exception. Although the shot had missed his heart, even a hole in his chest would have been difficult to survive. But Zero had survived. It had to be called a miracle, only it was a miracle that Lankey hated.
After confirming that Zero had not died, the assassination plan had to be carried out even more quickly.
Lan Qi observed that the surviving Zero was still weak. This could be seen from the daily usage of life-saving drugs and equipment in the hospital. However, after three days, Zero's injuries had already started to improve, which meant that he was in the process of recovering and would be discharged soon.
Once they were released from the hospital, it would be extremely difficult for them to assassinate an outstanding sniper.
So Lange decided to start today. He had a simple but effective plan for this, and now was the time to implement it.
Lan Qi followed a doctor named David, who was a surgeon at the hospital and also a doctor in charge of zero. When Dr. David walked into the update room, Lan Qi used the angle and obstacles to follow in. No one noticed the entire process, which showed just how fast the White-headed Eagle were.
There was o
nly Dr. David in the locker room, his eyes were red. No one could be better off without a night's rest. Now the doctor just wanted to get home from work and have a good night's sleep, but when he put his work clothes in his personal locker and closed it, he found a man standing next to him without a sound.
"Who are you?" The Dr. David exclaimed.
Lan Qi smiled and said, "You don't need to know."
As he spoke, he quickly struck the doctor's neck with his palm. The palmar border of the hand holds a great force against the great artery of the doctor, halting the supply of blood to the artery. The huge impact immediately stunned the doctor. Lan Qi quickly supported him, preventing his falling body from making too much noise. He tied up the doctor and gagged him. In the end, he was thrown into a storage warehouse large enough to not be discovered even if he were to wake up for a short period of time.
When he was done, Lange took out the doctor's uniform, mask, and work permit and gently closed the door.
When Lan Qi came out of the locker room, he had already turned into a Dr. David.
There was a needle in the pocket of the doctor's uniform, and inside the syringe was a translucent light blue liquid. The liquid was filled with radioactive waste. Even the strong metamorph would not last more than 10 minutes if it was directly injected with this nuclear waste. Lan Qi did not believe that his body was stronger than a metamorph, even if his body seemed weak, it still contained an astonishing amount of life force.
He walked slowly, scratching the back of his head from time to time. These were all the habits of Dr. David. After three days of observation, he relied on his astonishing memory. Lan Qi used a mask to cover most of his face, and acted the part of a doctor.
The White-headed Eagle's plan was very simple, after taking advantage of the fact that Dr. David's identity was close to zero, they would create an opportunity to insert this tube of nuclear waste liquid into Zero's body. Because it was simple, it was unexpected. Very few people could imagine Lan Qi using such a simple and bold plan. Therefore, his chances of success weren't small.
