Chapter 15

In the open space in the middle of the work area, old Jack raised his hand and made a gesture. Immediately, the talking crowd gradually quieted down.

Old Jack cleared his throat, pointed to Hans and said, "today, I want to tell you some sad news. Just last night, Hans, a cheap dog, violated the poor girl!"

Although everyone had guessed what had happened, there was still a uproar when the truth came out of old Jack's mouth. Many men scolded Hans, but they didn't know whether it was out of sympathy for Rita or anger that Hans took the lead.

Zero also clenched his fist. It can be said that he indirectly caused Rita's misfortune. If he hadn't pushed Rita out of the door last night, it might have been another ending.

But it was a foregone conclusion. Even zero could not change Rita's upcoming fate.

Old Jack waved again. After calming the crowd, he angrily pointed at Hans and said, "this cheap dog ignores the rules set by old Jack. What do you say to punish him?"

After a short silence, I don't know who shouted "throw it into the wilderness to feed the wolf" first, followed by the voice of approval one after another.

Hans, kneeling in the field, swept over these people with resentful eyes. He was like a fierce dog trying to bite people. He opened his mouth and gave a low roar. Finally, his eyes fell on old Jack.

Old Jack looked at him with no pity, just like looking at a dead wolf in the wilderness: "do you hear? You broke the rules first. I won't kill you, but it will make you worse than death."

"I'll kill you! And you, one day, I'll come back and kill you all!"

Hans roared like crazy and tried to rush up and bite old Jack. But he was kicked to the ground by the nearby Zuoge, and gave the mad dog a few times with the butt of his gun, which made his forehead bleed. Hans could only kick the rough gas on the ground in vain.

Old Jack waved his hand. Zog called two soldiers. They set up Hans and escorted him out of the work area. Hans's fate can be predicted. He will be thrown out of the wilderness by the base, and his records will be published through the computer network inside the pachlan chaebol. Hans will never be able to enter the branches and bases opened by the pachlan chaebol.

While Hans was taken away, he still vaguely cursed the people of the base. Naturally, many men gave him two punches when he passed, but the soldiers didn't stop him. Those who break the rules will never be forgiven and pitied.

After Hans left, there was only Rita left on the court. Old Jack looked at her and sighed: "Rita, the most beautiful woman in the bar of our base. According to the regulations, this poor woman should have received a lot of compensation to heal the damage caused to her. But..."

Old Jack stopped talking. It seemed that the next words made it difficult for him to speak. Everyone saw that old Jack, who acted decisively on weekdays, hesitated. Everyone knew that it would never be a good thing next. Sure enough, old Jack said something that shocked everyone.

"Unfortunately, Hans, that bitch dog didn't know where she was infected with the virus. Rita, who had sex with him, we detected the alarm signal of level 3 virus on her."

The noise sounded again.

The ubiquitous viruses are strictly classified according to the standards of major companies in the world. Like the danger of monsters and the safety of food, the harm of viruses to human body is also divided into ten levels. The virus infection above level 3 not only shows that the infected person has to die, but also the virus infected is infectious, so it has been within the scope of major harm.

There are usually only two ways for people infected with virus above grade 3. First, he was shot on the spot and burned the bodies of infected people with high-temperature flame; The second is isolated rescue, but z7 base does not have the conditions and technology to cure people infected with level III virus. As for rescue sent to parkland headquarters, both base and Rita do not have that qualification.

Pachlan chaebol is unlikely to spend a lot of money and drugs to cure a bar waitress at a marginal base.

Old Jack's heavy eyes fell on Rita. He sighed: "son, I hope you can understand my feelings now. If you can, I absolutely don't want to abandon you. But now, for the safety of others in the base, I can only... Please leave the base!"

Leaving the base means facing the infinite dangerous wilderness alone. With the third-class virus, Rita will not be taken in by any base or company, which is no different from death.

Rita swayed lightly, but she didn't fall down strongly. She nodded solemnly, with tears in her eyes.

Old Jack sighed again, turned and waved. Zog walked up, shook his head and took Rita's hand towards the exit of the base.

The crowd automatically separated from both sides to make way for a passage.

However, at that passage, zero straightened his body. Rita gave a slight shock when she saw him.

Zog took her to zero.

Zero looked at the woman, almost squeezed out a few words from his mouth and said, "I owe you, I will pay it back!"

Rita smiled.

She suddenly hit Zog, took out the pistol from his waist and pointed to zero.

Everyone's face changed greatly except zero.

Zero was motionless, standing on the spot like a stone statue, silently looking at the black muzzle pointing to himself.

"You're wrong, zero." Rita smiled sadly. "Some debts can't be repaid, because I want you to owe me forever!"

The muzzle of the gun turned and pointed to his temple.

Zero finally turned and stabbed his body forward.

Trigger buckle.

He was still a little late.

Just as he was about to catch Rita's pistol, the poor woman shot herself. Rita's head swung to one side. The kinetic energy of the bullet lifted her legs off the ground and fell to the side.

Her body fell lightly on a pair of palms.

It was Zog's palm. He caught Rita's body from the back and didn't let her touch the dirt of the world again.

Zero's hands were in the air, and he didn't catch anything. After a long time, he took back his hand and whispered to Zuoge, "thank you."

Zog nodded and shook his head again, with a complicated expression.

Rita died, her body was burned, and the remaining ashes were put into a box and buried in a public cemetery behind the base living area. A not beautiful tombstone witnessed the existence of the beautiful woman. The photos on the tombstone made Rita smile.

A bunch of goose yellow flowers were placed in front of Rita's tomb, stood up, and bowed three times to the tombstone. This bunch of flowers was collected after he spent a day, braved strong ultraviolet rays, almost walked through the wasteland within nearly 100 kilometers outside the base, and shot and killed several dead wolves. This represents a zero point of mind, even if it can no longer be received by Rita.

He looked at the woman in the picture and gently recited the name of "Rita" three times. Zero knows that this woman will never be forgotten in this life. She will occupy a corner in zero's heart. Even if the position is small, it will never die.

As Rita said, it was his debt to her. A debt that will never be paid.

The next day, the base returned to calm. In addition to following Leah every day, he also got two hours of practice time. In these two hours, zero was constantly familiar with his abilities in the soldier training ground of the base. The first-order strength enhancement can make zero one punch hit 700 pounds, and the fierce kick force is up to about 3000 pounds, which means zero can easily kick and bend a steel plate, but also distinguish him from ordinary people.

As for the first-order defense enhancement, zero only did a simple test. He stabbed his dagger into his thigh, but at the moment when the dagger entered the body, the muscles of his thigh naturally rebounded, so that the dagger finally entered the body less than 3cm. The zero output degree is enough to plunge the dagger into the human body.

Zero even thought about shooting himself with a gun, but finally gave up the crazy idea.

Of course, he collected these data secretly, but he didn't dare to do it openly in front of a second person.

During this period, old Jack went back to parkland headquarters for a routine report. He ordered 50 M500 special bullets. With a first-order strength strengthened physique, zero has confidence to control the fierce backseat force of this pair of large caliber left wheels.

Time passed day by day, spring and autumn, and two years passed in the twinkling of an eye.

Another spring.

For the old times, spring symbolized the awakening of all things and was a season of good wishes. In the turbulent new era, spring has the same symbol, but the awakening thing is not so beautiful for mankind.

Those mutants who fall asleep because of winter will become more violent when they wake up in spring.

Near z7 base, the most creatures are corpse wolves. This kind of scavenging animal that feeds on corpses changes due to infection by autopsy or other viruses. Their body shape is much larger than that of wild wolves in the old era. After several generations of genetic inheritance and transformation, they have belonged to the third generation of corpse wolves. The adult male wolf weighs as much as 40 kg.

They become stronger and more resistant to radiation. This is a rather ironic fact. In turbulent times, wild animals are far more suitable for changes in the surface environment than humans.

It is spring now. After hibernating, the dead wolves wake up in their deep sleep. They look for food all over the mountains and fields. In the past records of the base, when the corpse wolves can't find enough food, they often attack human settlements in clusters, causing no small trouble.

So this morning, zero appeared on the mountain one kilometer away from the base and began the third hunt for corpse wolves. This is the latest mission of the base. Every ten dead wolves is worth one yuan. Although not many, zero believes in the truth of gathering sand into a tower.
