Warlord: volume 1

by Chen Ran

  The air current from the explosion sent him flying a hundred meters away before crashing heavily onto the ground. Looking at the scene before her, the empress had already been blown to smithereens. Countless chunks of flesh and hard shells littered the ground, and their bodies were still burning with the remnants of the explosion.

  Those rock spider s in the audience and the surrounding latent s saw their leader becoming a pile of minced meat, and started a commotion. The latent's legs and legs kicked wildly, and after showing extreme uneasiness, they and the rock spider in the stands quickly dispersed. After killing the Spider Queen's Zero, his scent had been remembered by the spiders, and he was labeled as dangerous.

  Naturally, Zero would not know about this. He only hoped that he could get a good night's sleep right now.

  Chapter 50 - Giving a Gun

  Su had a chaotic dream.

  In her dream, she was chasing after the traitor who had betrayed her father. Su ran on a grey road. On both sides of the road, there were crooked old trees and pointed grey and white houses. Strange figures watched her in silence from behind the trees, from the house.

  Although he could not hear any sounds, Su knew that they were laughing at him.

  In front, the figure was walking at a steady pace. However, no matter how Su increased her speed, she seemed to never be able to catch up to this shadow.

  Anger and self-blame filled Su's consciousness. Su let out a shrill cry in her dreams, the one-handed sword in her hands flashed, and shot out a silver light blade like a javelin towards the man's back.

  The figure in front turned his head slowly, and Su saw the face of Zero.

  The long sword had sunk into Zero's body, and its slender body was covered in blood.

  "No!" Su screamed in fear.

  When the dream disappeared, Su opened her eyes and saw a red sky that looked like it was about to ignite.

  She sat up, her sweat and blood mixing together, making Su feel that her entire body was extremely sticky. The last thing she saw before she fainted was the Spider Queen releasing a powerful sonic boom towards him. When she thought about this monster, Su's eyes started to focus. She realised that she was sitting under the track and field's stand. Beside her was Zero, who was leaning against the wall of the stand, looking extremely weak.

  Su wanted to move his body, but the moment she moved, the blood vessels and tissues on his body that were damaged by the sonic boom started bleeding again. She could not help but let out a soft groan, and Zero's ears moved. Hearing Su's voice, he also opened his eyes.

  Looking at the field, the Spider Queen was missing. However, the irregular flesh, blood, organs and shattered shells on the stage allowed Su to vaguely put together the shadow of a monster. old drunkard was piercing through the corpses of Spider Queen, but no one knew what he was looking for.

  "You killed him?" Su looked at zero. She was unable to link the fact that this mercenary, who was weaker than him, had killed Spider Queen.

  Zero's ears have yet to recover from the damage from the sonic boom, and in Su's ears, her voice was just a meaningless note. But from the shape of her mouth, Zero could read what she meant.

  He nodded his head and replied, "Obviously, the internal organs of that thing aren't as sturdy as its external body."

  After saying that, Zero closed his eyes again. He was very weak, the Spider Queen's sonic boom had caused nearly half of the blood vessels in his body to be damaged, and in the final explosion, at least three of his ribs were broken, and his internal organs had suffered varying degrees of damage or displacement. Fortunately, Ben was not only a monster hunter, but also an outstanding field emergency specialist. He had already given Zero a simple treatment. For the time being, Zero would not die, but it would take at least a week for it to recover.

  He had to rely on his own body to recover from the pain of the Spider Queen's sonic booms, making him almost half deaf. However, with the current medical standards, it wasn't difficult to repair damaged eardrums, as long as you could afford the change.

  Relax your body. This state is conducive to your body's self-recovery. To his surprise, the healing ability of his body was surprisingly strong. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the height of the moon, and most of his injuries had already mostly recovered.

  The damaged blood vessel tissue had already healed, and there were more than a hundred thin wounds on his body. Right now, all that was left were lines of pink flesh. If Zero were to take the X-rays now, he would find that the broken ribs had basically been fixed, and the scars on them would completely disappear within two or three days. All that was left was his hearing, and he would probably need some time to recover.

  Even so, such a quick recovery rate was enough to shock Zero. This made him think of Hans, but Hans's recovery speed was even faster.

  He leaned against the wall and stood up. Although he still could not perform strenuous exercise, he was able to walk on his own two legs. On the other hand, Su's wound on the woman's body was not yet closed, and beads of blood could still be seen from time to time.

  Looking at Zero, Su said in shock, "You are even proficient at super fast regeneration in the Fighting Domain?"

  Apparently Zero had never heard of this ability, so he shook his head. Leaving the confused Su, he picked up the Colt beside him and walked towards old drunkard who was sitting next to a bonfire.

  "I can't tell. You can already walk. It's good that you're young." Ben saw Zero approaching and threw a bottle at him.

  Zero shook his head. Drinking with injuries wasn't a good thing. He tossed the bottle back to Ben, who took a careless swig and then began to cough violently.

  When Zero sat down, old drunkard pulled out a parcel from the side. Although it was called a bag, it was actually Ben's windbreaker. It was just that it was currently wrapped with something. Ben opened it to find the corpse of the Spider Queen inside, who knew what the old drunkard was collecting for.

  Ben took out two or three items and pushed them in front of Zero. They were the pieces of the empress's shell, a piece of skin, and two eyeballs.

  Seeing the confused look on Zero's face, Ben couldn't help but laugh out loud. He patted the items and said, "Take them. These are all good things."

  The old drunkard pointed to the hard shell and said, "This thing's hardness is comparable to composite armor, but its quality is tighter and its weight is lighter. You can have the craftsman make it into a dagger, and it will be so sharp that it can easily pierce a steel plate. "

  As for the other two, they had their own value, such as the Queen's soft tissue fragments. The flexibility of this thing is obvious, this recommendation zero processing it into a bulletproof vest. The empress's eyeballs didn't have any special function, but after the monster died, the crystal in her eyeballs hardened, causing them to emit a mysterious red light like gemstones.

  Ben told Zero that the eyes could be sold to gem dealers, who would be willing to pay ten thousand or more for them.

  No matter what age, luxury goods always existed. If Zero could make these eyeballs into exquisite jewelry, their value would be multiplied by ten or even a hundred times. Naturally, there was no way Zero would have the time and skills. The two eyeballs exceeded the reward for the quest, and it had already surprised Zero too much.

  He suddenly realized that no matter what era it was, knowledge was equivalent to wealth.

  "I'm leaving." After handing them to Zero, Ben picked up his bag and slapped his ass.

  Zero did not ask him where he was going. He just felt that it was a pity. If he could, he still wanted to learn more about Monster Hunters from the old drunkard. But he had no right to control their movements, so Zero just stood up and handed the Colt to Ben.

  Ben looked at the sniper rifle, shook his head, and said to Zero, "This gun is yours."

  Zero asked in surprise, "Why?"

  "Because I'm old and he's young." Ben used his palm to gently stroke the body of the Colt's spear and said, "You used it
very well. I think only by following you will this old fellow be able to regain his former glory. "Oh right, I'll give you this as well."

  He fished out a crumpled book and tossed it to Zero.

  "This is my diary. It records the habits and values of most of the mutated creatures. There are also some fragmented items here that you can take a look at if you like it or burn if you don't like it. "

  After saying that, he threw the package onto his shoulder, then slowly left the track and field with the bottle of wine, disappearing from Zero's sight.

  Zero stuffed the diary into his jacket. To him, the value of this diary far exceeded the value of what the Institute had given him. Maybe, the Colt would be an exception.

  Zero still remembered the feeling of being shot by a Colt. The roar and wildness of the bullet as it left the gun was even greater than the M500's.

  Inadvertently, his hand touched the butt of the gun, and from his fingertips came the feeling of a cut. Under the moonlight, he saw a line of English engraved under the butt of the gun.

  My Colt, you are the sickle of death! — — Ben Douglas

  Chapter 51 - Home

  After Ben left, Zero took the spoils of war and walked back to Su's side. Su was the same as Zero, looking at the few tattered items, she didn't understand what was happening.

  Zero explained the value of the few items to Su, then he gave her the Queen's shell and an eyeball.

  "What? Giving me these things means that you want me to accompany you for a few nights?" Su looked at these two things, but did not extend his hand to take them.

  Zero could hear the ridicule in her voice and shook his head. "I don't use a cold weapon, so this shell is useless to me. You're using a one-handed sword, so you should be able to reforge this shell and your sword. I think the sharpness and hardness will both increase. As for this... "

  His eyes fell on the gem-like eyeball and Zero said, "You can exchange it for some money and information. In order to take revenge, one must at least know where their enemy is. "

  Su contested and looked at Zero, and a moment later, she shook her head: "Are you really from this era? I've never seen a guy who pushed money out. "

  She picked up Spider Queen's shell, but pushed her eyes back to Zero. "You can have this back, I have my own sources of information, so I don't need to use this thing to exchange for money."

  Zero nodded and put the eyeball away. In this era where resources were scarce, no one could be generous. He had only seen his own shadow on her when he gave nearly half of his profits to Su. Since Su didn't want it, he was happy to save on it.

  The night passed in silence.

  Su was truly worthy of being a capable cultivator of the Fighting Domain. After a night of self-treatment, her skin injuries had already basically healed. Now, other than her ears, which had not been restored to their hearing, Zero had already recovered.

  After the two of them left the University City, Su returned to the Remot, and Zero went back to the processing plant to pull some stuff. After not seeing her for two days, Lara seemed to have eaten quite a lot. Her originally plump body was now even more perfectly round. While it was lying on his shoulder, Zero could clearly feel that the weight of the little guy had increased by about 10%.

  Lala fell into a deep sleep on Ling Sheng's shoulder. After returning to the Remot, he first made a trip back to the Stophouse.

  As it was still early, was still asleep when he entered the tent. The girl hugged her pillow and bent her body slightly, letting out a uniform breathing sound. Her sleep was undoubtedly very peaceful, but she realized that not only did the dark red patch on Lea's face not disappear, it had even extended towards her neck and shoulders.

  She frowned, thinking that Lea's inspection should not be delayed any longer.

  He placed Lara next to the girl and gently left the tent.

  At 8 AM in the morning, when the guild hall was just opened, Zero was already waiting for him at the side. There was no doubt that Theon was a dedicated vice president. When the great hall opened, he followed suit. When he saw the zero, he was stunned for a moment before smiling as he approached.

  "I am glad to see that you have returned safely." Theon spoke in a sincere tone as he patted Zero's shoulders. Then, he led him into the hall like an old friend.

  It was obvious that Zero was not good at diplomacy, and furthermore, it was impossible for him to get familiar with strangers like Theon was doing. He purposely distanced himself from the president of the trade union. When Theon saw this, he could not help but smile.

  "Lafite and Tyrannosaurus Rex came back a day earlier, but in terms of the completeness of the map, the map you drew was undoubtedly more perfect. This is very helpful for us to wipe out the entire Lanpei University. The entire Remot is grateful to you for your actions. "

  In the office, Theon said this.

  "That is only my task. Now, shall we clear the reward? I'm sorry, I still have things to take care of. " His heart was tied to Lea's zeroth, and he simply did not have the temperament to start an official fight with Theon.

  Amongst the mercenaries in this mission, the one Theon had his eyes on the most was actually zero. Admittedly, the ability to zero does not stand out. However, Theon could see the military style from Zero. He liked the style of "Zero" who rarely talked and did more work. If possible, Theon wanted to have "Zero" stay, then this young man would become his right-hand man.

  Unfortunately, Zero did not seem to have any plans to stay in Remot. Theon did not force her, he called his secretary over and had Zero and his secretary go to the information director, so that he could settle Zero's task.

  When Zero came out of the guild hall, he had lost a Tactical wrist watch and had an additional 1800 yuan in his pocket.

  This time, he had completed two-thirds of the mission, which gave him 800 points. As for the living specimens, even though he did not bring the rock spider, he provided the relevant information regarding the rock spider, and even revealed the information of the latent. On the other hand, the Remot was very fair, so the money needed to convert these two pieces of information into a living specimen was given to zero.

  Naturally, Zero did not provide any information regarding the Spider Queen. Firstly, the leader level monster had already been killed by him, so there was no need for Remot to know. Secondly, Zero carried the parts of the Spider Queen with him, and the value of these items were far greater than the reward from the Remot's mission, so Zero didn't want to arouse the jealousy of others.

  The rewards from this mission were far more than these. Firstly, he obtained his beloved spear, the Colt. This modified sniper rifle went through a zero test, and the furthest it could reach was two thousand meters, which meant that within two thousand meters, Zero would be like a death god. Secondly, the newly formed ability of the perceptual domain, the two evolution points that had been created during the last battle with Hans, had formed the ability of being named "Time of Bullets". Within the effective time of the ability, zero allows the mind to react about ten times faster than the body in order to better analyze the data in critical moments to respond.

  In addition, Zero also obtained three additional evolution points. He was surprised by this, but after reading Ben's diary, he knew that Spider Queen's risk assessment was Level 5, so he felt relieved. After all, after fighting with Hans, the monster, Zero only obtained one point of evolution.

  This was the so-called 'the greater the risk, the higher the reward'.

  He went to the Commercial District and gave the Queen's Broken Piece to an equipment shop to be processed into a bulletproof vest. As for the two eyeballs, they were sold to the merchant in the gem shop. However, the black merchant bought them for 20% less than the market price, so Zero only got 8,000 yuan. The black merchant finally had a little conscience. Naturally, such a large sum of money couldn't be paid with coins, so he wrote down a credit card and deposited the two eyeballs, the money and nearly ten thousand yuan from the zero task into his bank account.


  According to the underworld merchants, this credit card was qualified to travel across Mainland China. Its distributing agency was said to be a mysterious and powerful organization. Over 80% of the companies and bases on the mainland had to buy them. Therefore, there was no question of whether they would be able to get through or not.

  Zero was skeptical of this statement. Currently, the only people he knew of were the Parkland's valve s and Remot s.

  Zero didn't know that the symbol of the "Dark Council" was on the skull on the credit card.

  After dealing with all of these, Zero went to Doctor John's clinic. The two of them decided to conduct a thorough examination for Lea tonight before Zero returned to Stophouse.

  It was noon, and there were only a few women and children staying in Stophouse. Teddy just came out from Lea's tent, he was still holding onto his dining plate, and was probably bringing Lea lunch.

  was very happy when he saw zero. He told Zero that Jehan and the others had found a job. The place they were working at was at the weapons factory in Remot. Naturally, what Jehan and the others were doing was not technical work. However, to these outsiders, the stable pay for this job was something they could not even imagine.

  And the one who introduced the job to them, was the vice president of the association, Theon.

  Hearing this, Zero more or less understood why Teddy said that it was all thanks to him. No matter how dumb Su Yun was, she knew that Theon had the intention to recruit him, but unfortunately, her ambition was not here.

  When Zero went into the tent, Lea was eating a piece of bread. It was not stale stale bread, but fresh, freshly baked food that had just come out of the oven. Zero felt gratified, as if he was making money to support his family. He had already decided to work part-time as a monster hunter. It seemed that this meal was better than the one he had for the mercenaries.

  "You're back!" Lea was just about to tear off a piece of bread to feed Lala, but unfortunately for him, this little fellow was only interested in all kinds of metals, and lacked interest in human food. Seeing that Zero had returned, Lea's attention immediately shifted away from her. She put down the bread and, like a good wife, took off her coat.
