Chapter 14

Name:War Lord Author:Chen Ran
The next morning, I came to Leah's lab. Leah is classifying and summarizing the drugs brought by Zog and them. When she sees zero, she is not much surprised. Old Jack had told her that from today on, zero would replace Holt as her bodyguard. For Leah, it doesn't matter who is a bodyguard. It's just a change of the one who binds her freedom.

"Come on, help me move those things over," Leah said, pointing to several medicine boxes on the table on one side of the room. Sometimes the bodyguard's job is not just simple protection, but also to let Leah call all kinds of trivial things.

Zero Yiyan brought something, but made a special request.

"I want you to do another competency test for me."

"Eh?" Leah looked up. Today she was wearing flat glasses, adding a trace of intellectual beauty to the beautiful girl.

Leah thought she had heard wrong and asked, "what did you just say?"

Zero repeated it. Leah put down her words and turned around zero and said, "why, do you feel abnormal in your body?"

"A little," he added, recalling last night's madness and sudden power, "but no matter what the result is, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"If I tell you, will you... Kill me?" Leah asked half jokingly.

Zero shook his head and said solemnly, "I will leave."

He has his own considerations.

When Leah mentioned powers before, she pointed out a rule recognized by the world. That is, it is impossible for survivors who have not experienced the day of catastrophe to produce abilities and evolutionary points because their genes have not been shaken. If zero identifies the ability to produce, he must be regarded as a freak. Although he didn't know much about this new era, he also knew that even in the old era, the emergence of new species meant capture and research.

He didn't like to be a prey, let alone a white mouse, so he asked Leah to keep it a secret.

Leah nodded. She carefully locked the door of the laboratory. Even if someone comes suddenly, they will not find the anomaly of zero at the first time. And Leah doesn't believe that a zero body will change.

Because it's impossible.

Zero sum lay on the platform of the identification instrument like last time, closed his eyes, felt the action of the platform sliding into the instrument, and his heart was full of confusion.

In this chaotic era, zero certainly wants to get stronger ability. But at the same time, if there is the ability to change, it violates the law recognized by the world. That can only show that the origin of zero is more mysterious and complex. Otherwise, how could he change without experiencing the great disaster.

Leah's ten fingers moved flexibly on the console. With groups of command inputs, various lights began to flash in the identification instrument. With each flash of light, a group of data will be transmitted to the data center, where the data will be concentrated, and then gathered into clear data to be displayed on the console.

When zero data passed on the screen, Leah had to cover her mouth with her hand to stop herself from crying out.

But the computer reports the data with inorganic sound. The comprehensive data of the body slightly increased by 3 to 6 percentage points, which was negligible. To Leah's surprise, it was the later data: "... Target ability: first-order strength enhancement and first-order defense enhancement. Evolution point data: 1."

When zero came down from the platform, Leah suddenly stretched out her hand to hold his face, and then shouted and held zero in her arms. Zero's head was buried by two groups of software, and his nose was full of the girl's healthy body fragrance.

"Great, zero. The first-order strength enhancement and defense enhancement are the abilities of the fighting field. There is also a redundant evolution point. You can naturally evolve some abilities, or buy mature formula drugs from large companies to catalyze the directional ability." Leah let go of zero and burst into tears in her eyes with excitement: "Great, we finally have a power in our base. I'll tell Grandpa right away."

Let go of zero, Leah turned to go, but she was caught by zero.

Zero looked at her and shook her head slowly. Leah remembered what she had promised zero just now. She whispered, "I promise I will only tell Grandpa and no third person will know."

"Only you and I know," zero stressed.

"Why?" Leah wondered.

Zero replied simply, "I'm afraid of trouble."

Leah is also a smart man. She thinks about what trouble zero means. Indeed, if the fact of zero is disclosed, the rules regarded as the iron law all over the world will be overturned. God knows how many large companies and organizations will catch zero as a variant for research. This is what zero cares about.

"Then aren't you afraid I'll say it?" Leah asked again.

"I don't know." in zero's mind, the beautiful image in the dream overlapped with the girl in front of him. He said, "but I believe you."

Leah's whole body seemed to have an electric current. She shook slightly, lowered her head and said, "that... This is the secret between us."

"Yes."

"Pull the hook?" Leah stretched out her tail finger and made a childish move.

Zero hesitated, but finally hooked Leah with her tail finger. Leah laughed with satisfaction and then worried: "But if you don't tell Grandpa, he won't ask the pachlan chaebol for a mature formula. I don't know how long it will take for the evolution point to naturally form new abilities, and I don't know whether the newly formed abilities are stable or dangerous."

In turbulent times, the value of powers is immeasurable. Even ordinary powers are the target of various small companies. For safety reasons, many powers will choose to use the mature formula drugs sold by major companies, so as to catalyze the directional ability. The ability formed in this way is stable without danger. Only a small number of battle maniacs, or powers without any power to rely on, will risk allowing the evolution point to naturally transform into new abilities.

The transformation of non directional ability may lead to powerful combat domain ability, or it may be an auxiliary ability that makes people cry and laugh. So it's not necessary. No one will choose to let the evolutionary point degenerate naturally.

After Leah analyzed the power to zero, the latter still shook his head stubbornly. Compared with transforming the first evolutionary point into directional ability, zero prefers to let it degenerate naturally. After all, the risk of exposure is too great. As for the Formula medicine, zero believes that as long as he improves his strength, he will have a way to get it from a large company in the future. For now, he really doesn't have to take the risk for an evolutionary point.

Seeing zero always disagreed, Leah no longer insisted. After the two made an oral agreement, zero began to help Leah continue the division of drugs. Near noon, the base's Radio suddenly rang.

On the radio, old Jack's voice came: "everyone come to the work area. I have something important to announce."

The broadcast was repeated three times, and even Leah didn't know what old Jack was going to announce. But still according to the words into the work at hand, and zero left the laboratory and walked towards the work area. Walking on the channel to the work area, people passed by from time to time. From their whispers, they heard sporadic conversations. The content of the words seemed to have something to do with a woman. Somehow, I thought of Rita.

In front of the mine gate in the working area, there are already a large number of people here, leaving an open space in the middle. Old jack stands in the center of the scene in his eternal costume. To zero's surprise, Zog was also there. He led seven soldiers to maintain order. Next to old Jack, there were two people kneeling and standing.

Kneeling was a man, in his thirties, with an obscene appearance. Zero knows him. That's the white Hans who wanted to be careless with him when zero just woke up. The man seemed to have been beaten up. His whole face was swollen, there were many bruises on his body, and blood remained at the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he had been beaten badly.

Next to Hans stood a woman, tall, white and black. Who was Rita who didn't want to make out with zero last night?

Came to the periphery of the crowd, zero saw Zog, who also saw him and walked towards him.

"What's the matter?" zero asked softly.

Zog looked at him with a wry smile and said, "Rita came to see you last night."

Hearing this, Leah couldn't help looking at zero. Rita's name has spread all over the base, and the men who want to go to her can form a long line. But Rita had never heard of anyone who was cheap, let alone delivered it to her door. While Leah looked at zero, there was something more unknowingly.

That kind of thing is called jealousy.

Zero didn't feel it, but nodded with emphasis.

"But you sent her out the door intact?" Zog asked again.

Zero nodded again.

Seeing this, Leah began to relax.

Unexpectedly, Zog said with a bitter smile, "but you hurt her."

Zero eyebrows a pick, asked: "why do you say so."

Zog Nuo mouthed at Hans over there and said, "just last night, that cheap dog gave Rita..."

He was stunned and finally understood what had happened. He clenched his fist secretly, and cold light came from his indifferent eyes.

He was angry.

"If Rita just defiled him, it's OK, but the damn guy is not clean. He has been infected with the virus..." Zog finally sighed.

Zero may not know what this means, but Leah knows it. She could not help shouting "ah", and understood what kind of fate Rita would usher in. One moment she was subconsciously jealous of the woman, but at this moment, Leah was full of deep sympathy for her.
