After seeing atatha, zero also saw moni. But Moni seemed to be hurt. She lay flat on the sand with a bandage on her left leg. There was a slight blush on the white bandage. Lala is beside Moni, and the little beast gently rubs Moni with his body.
Perhaps because it was too dry, zero licked his lips. Then his face changed, and a faint smell of rust came from his lips. He knew it was blood, and it was human blood. Then, there seemed to be something left on the wall of his mouth. He stirred it with his tongue and touched a meat crumb at the tip of his tongue. It's just a simple contact, but a lot of data flows into zero's mind. So he knew that, like blood, the meat crumb also came from human body tissue.
Then he suddenly looked at Moni's injured left leg. Zero seemed to know something.
A few meters away, artessa obviously felt the high temperature emanating from her zero body. The hot air even wrapped him and spun slightly, holding his broken black hair gently.
At this moment, even a trace of wind on the death mountain is not worshipped.
After a long time, the air flow and heat wave disappeared. Zero silently walked to Moni and sat down. Lala looked at him, and then flapped her fat wings to zero's shoulder.
Zero lay down and let himself get close to Moni's face. He leaned over Moni's ear and gently moved his lips.
No one knows what he said.
At night, Moni woke up, too. The pale face because of blood loss had a faint color of blood in the bonfire raised by atatha. After eating artessa's Roasted mutant rabbit, Moni began to have a smile on her face.
As if she had some strength, Moni began to talk, sometimes praising atatha's good workmanship, and sometimes saying one or two bad jokes from the drinkers in angry reef city. Zero occasionally inserted a word or two, but most of the time, he was as quiet as atatha.
After solving a piece of breast meat, zero means you are full. There seemed to be some tacit understanding among the three. No one mentioned zero sum Moni's injury. It seemed that it was a wound that he didn't want to touch. Although the wound will always scar in the future, it will never disappear.
"After 10 minutes of rest, let's hurry. We've lost too much time. We have to hurry up," zero said.
Atatha said quietly, "I have no problem, but you two?"
"I've almost recovered. Even if I fight with others now, there's no problem." zero knows his body very well, and he won't force himself to do things beyond the limit unless it's necessary. And now it's just the way to go, and even after he reaches the downstream area, he still has some time to rest, so that he can adjust to the best condition before the parkland killer appears.
Moni also raised her hand and said, "I have no problem, but I may need a crutch."
Atatha said without raising her head, "no, I'd better go with you on my back. It's so fast."
So the matter was settled. After eating and drinking, the remaining rabbit meat was carefully preserved by artesha. Such herbivorous mutants are rare. Even atatha, who grew up on the mountain of death, hasn't seen many in a year. The meat of herbivores is fragrant and delicious, which is a rare delicacy. Artesha will not waste. Although there are many mutants on the death mountain, there are few that can be eaten directly. If you save some leftover rabbit meat, it can last for about two days.
After packing up and cleaning up the traces of the campfire, the three began to go on the road.
Because it is close to the lamassen River, the land here has been relatively humid, which is due to the fact that various plant roots hidden deep underground and complex shrink constantly ask for water from the lamassen river. When the plants absorb enough water, the excess will be discharged, so the water makes the dry ground slightly wet.
The three walked through the downhill wetland, directly into the woods at the foot of the mountain, and then came to the river. But they dare not get too close. There is no excess cover on the beach on the river bank. Here, only a few shrubs are occasionally planted on the edge of the unstable riverbed. In fact, the area near the lamassen river is not suitable for the growth of plants. Giant toothed fish will sharpen their teeth with these plants, while triangular jaws will rub their huge bodies against the plants in order to remove the dirt from them. The mutant animals in the lamassen river let the mutant plants retreat, let alone ordinary trees.
Therefore, within ten meters near the lamassen River, there is hardly a decent plant in zero. On the contrary, giant toothed fish jump out of the water in groups, and triangular jaws bite each other in the water from time to time.
Try to lean against the river bank, but choose to move forward at the edge of the forest. In this way, when the time comes around midnight, they have reached the downstream area. The river in this area is thousands of meters wide. When the river from the upstream comes here, it beats on the towering and sharp rocks and makes a loud noise.
In the lower reaches of the river, the velocity of the river is fast. From time to time, water waves about 10 meters high rise into the sky, and then wet the sand within nearly 100 meters of the river bank.
There are no mutants here, and neither giant toothed fish nor horned crocodiles will approach this water area. Because further ahead, there is a big crack across the mountain of death. The water of lamasen river will flow down like a waterfall at that point, and then flow into the bottomless abyss below kilometers, and then flow into the boundless polluted sea area outside the coastline through the underground river.
There is no reason why this place is chosen as a sniper position. Firstly, the geographical environment here is very complex. Not to mention the vast woods behind the beach, it is the huge stones in this area that are as disordered as teeth and more than ten meters at every turn have become a natural cover; Secondly, the all-weather uninterrupted River impact makes the whole area roar again and again. The sound of water waves will interfere with the judgment of parkland killer and provide excellent cover for zero sniping.
The zero plan is very simple. First, let artesa ambush in a corner and fight with the killer when he appears; As for zero himself, he chose a commanding height to wait for an opportunity to snipe. This is exactly the method used by killers to zero in Phoenix. They use those with the ability of fighting field to wrap their prey close, and then use the sniper section to find the right opportunity to kill in one shot.
This method is not suitable for dealing with prey with more than a few numbers, but if the other party is alone, it can often achieve miraculous results. Especially if the other party doesn't know zero and atatha as a helper, the probability of success will be very high.
However, to the surprise of a few people, parkland's killer did not appear within the time they expected. It was not until sunset the day after zero reached the downstream area that atatha saw a nearly fragmented raft floating from a distance from the lamassen River and approaching the river bank under the control of a man on the raft.
The prey has finally arrived!
