Chapter 12

The battle ended quickly.

After the mob leader was shot down by Alan, the rest of the mob was stunned.

Zoug and Tony were the first to take action. The roar of the machine guns swept through the mob, and men fell to the ground.

Even though some of the mob had broken through the fire, they were wiped out by Alan, who was hiding somewhere.

Just like that, in less than two minutes of contact, the mob was either dead or alive.

The streets were soon quiet again.

"Come on," he said. "The gunshots will attract other things."

It was getting dark, and the city was going to be dangerous after dark.

The living corpses were not the only monsters in the ruins. The mutated beasts were more aggressive in the night.

When dusk approached, the two men finally arrived at the entrance of the town with Zero on their shoulders.

Soon after, Alan returned to the team.

They were tired enough to rest by the chariot.

Allan asked after Zoug and the others in the basement, and when the young soldier heard that Carl and Halt had been killed, he said nothing, but bowed his head.

Afterwards, Zuo Ge mentioned the butcher. After knowing that Zero had killed this abnormally ferocious monster alone, Aaron's eyes were full of admiration.

In his eyes, Zoug gave a knowing smile.

In fact, Alan was a nice guy.

This kid has the talent to shoot, but he's a bit manly, but which young man isn't?

At zero, however, the face, at most in its early twenties, made Zoug shake his head.

Fortitude, silence, calm zero might be an exception.

Zero was like a lone wolf, far more suited to survival in the wilderness.

"I say, head, you say that this guy won't object to my gun right now, right?"

Ellen's eyes fell on the two M500 revolvers at Zero's waist, and she had an almost paranoid fondness for guns, and this big-caliber guy was more of an aesthetics of gun violence than anything else, and Ellen was more fond of them.

Ignoring the look that was coming from Zoug, Ellen reached out to touch Zero's waist.

As the fingers of his eye were about to touch the pistol, Ellen's vision blurred and she opened her eyes.

The revolver, which had been pinned to his waist, came to his hand as if by magic and held it horizontally towards Ellen.

As long as it was a Zero-Pull, Aaron could not avoid it at such a close distance.

In that case, he would be blown away like a butcher's head.

"Don't mess around, zero."

Alan, he doesn't mean any harm. "

Zoug jumped to his feet and lost his voice.

However, Zero did not seem to hear Zuo Ge's words and his fingers suddenly clenched.

Ellen closed her eyes and heard a loud, violent shot.

However, he did not feel any discomfort. He opened his eyes and saw Zero moving the muzzle of the gun slightly away from the coin.

But at this distance, the zero trajectory passed Ellen's face.

A strange sound came from behind him.

Everyone turned to look behind Alan, only to see a figure fall from the chariot.

Ellen turned away. It was a man.

However, his entire head had been blown off, and his body was still twitching nonstop.

Although he was headless, the blood on his chest and the man's waistcoat pointed out that he was the mob leader whom Ellen had thought had killed.

Evidently the man had not died on the spot, and had not given up and followed, ready to kill the young soldier while Ellen was distracted.

However, he was shot dead by Zero gun after suddenly waking up. In the end, he was defeated.

Aaron's body broke out in cold sweat as he stared at the sharp dagger in the corpse's hand.

If not for Zero, the dagger would have pierced deep into his body.

He turned his head, wanting to thank Zero, but the latter closed her eyes again and only spat out one sentence, "We're even."

Hearing these words, Aaron could not help but laugh bitterly, "Stingy fellow!"

When Zero woke up again, he was back in the base.

When he opened his eyes, he found a pair of plump and tall Xiufeng, wrapped in a white shirt, gently swaying before his eyes.

Clearly, the owner of this pair of Xiufeng shirts was not wearing anything at all.

His vision of zero was excellent, and it was so close that he reached two pink bumps, and immediately normal changes occurred in his body.

"Huh?"

"You're awake?"

A surprised voice came from above his head. The owner of the voice said, "Wait a moment, I … …"

When he realized that the voice belonged to Leah, he tried to sit up, but he forgot that he was being pressed almost entirely against his face.

As she moved, her head almost buried into the pair of Xiufeng, which caught Lia off guard, she couldn't help but let out a shriek.

"What's going on?!"

The door was pushed open, and Old Jack barged in, chewing on his pipe. He saw Zero, who was half-sitting up on the operating table, and Lia, who was clutching her chest with a flushed face.

After Lia, Old Jack didn't say anything, but said to Zero, "You're awake?"

Good, you told me all about it.

To be able to kill a butcher by yourself, you are indeed not bad.

"When Leah's done with you, come to my study and I'll pay you what you deserve."

With that, Old Jack left the room again.

However, before he left, he revealed a meaningful smile to Zero.

The door closed.

The broken shoulder bone on the left side of his body had been sterilized and fixed with a support to help the bone heal.

The wound on his right thigh had also been sutured. The needlework on the wound was exquisite, so he felt satisfied that he could not do anything better with his own hands.

He went over to Leah and asked, "You're the one who treated me?"

Lia's face was red, and the strange feeling of being touched by zero on the sensitive part did not fade. She only nodded.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry about what happened just now," Zero said sincerely.

"Forget it, you didn't mean it."

Leigh blushed, finally choking on the words.

When he came down from the operating table, she handed him a dress.

It was a pale, washed-out shirt, old but scented and clean.

With Lia's help, he put on the shirt, losing some of his heroic spirit while changing out of the military uniform. However, he also gained some of his elegance, causing Lia's heart to skip a beat.

In fact, Zero was not beautiful, but he was very handsome.

The easterner's rare, deep outline, coupled with his silent, calm look, made him look like a marble statue of an expert.

Quiet, noble, with an inviolable quality.

Now that he was wearing a shirt, it made the atmosphere a little gentler.

It was as though a vintage wine of unfathomable age. One could not help but be entranced by it.

"Your face is so red. Are you sick?"

Liana frowned and asked, her face as red as an apple.

Lia was annoyed and amused, and she cursed herself for being a fool, and pushed the zero out of the operating room.

When Zoug and the others returned with the chariot, Old Jack listened to Zoug's report from the study.

Leah had been there, and both she and Old Jack had been grinning with surprise when they'd heard from Zoug that he'd killed a butcher on his own.

A butcher was no ordinary person. He was just an ordinary warrior without any special abilities. Yet, he was able to kill such a powerful monster.

Old Jack or Leigh, the zero in their minds suddenly rose in a straight line.

In Leah's mind, she thought of Zero as an idol, a hero.

Old Jack, on the other hand, should figure out how to spread the news and get it into the ears of the Parkland plutocrats to add weight to his future.

But no matter what, the story of 'Zero' has already spread throughout the base. But for younger women, 'Zero' is the ideal destination.

A warrior who killed a butcher on his own. Was there a better man than this?

It was probably the same voice that the woman from the base had in mind.

Naturally, none of them knew this.

After leaving the operation room, he walked through the laboratory and arrived at Old Jack's study room.

Zoug was also in the study. When it was zero, the captain gave him a friendly nod and then left the room.

"He's been with me for years. He's smart and brave, and he's a rare talent.

Originally, with your achievements, you were more than enough to become a soldier in this base, but now that there is a left square in this position, I do not wish to replace him.

"So you, I can only assign you other tasks."

Old Jack tried to find any reaction in his face.

Unfortunately, zero was like a deep pool, and there were no ripples on the surface, so Old Jack had no idea what was going on in his heart.

But Old Jack knew Zero well enough not to say anything against his arrangement, so Old Jack said, "Halt's dead, and he's got a Carl.

There aren't enough soldiers in the base to keep the peace, so I can't send any men to protect Leah.

Do you have any interest in following my granddaughter? "

Zero was surprised.

After all, to Old Jack or this base, he was still an outsider.

However, Old Jack had asked him to protect his granddaughter, which was equivalent to treating her as a close aide. This was something that he had not expected.

However, from the other side, it was not hard to tell how much weight he held in the old man's heart.

Being Leah's bodyguard was an easy and enjoyable job, and he couldn't think of a reason to object.

Besides, Leah was so similar to the woman in his dream, and he had the feeling that he wanted to be close to her, so he nodded and agreed.

Old Jack laughed, took out a money bag from the drawer, threw it on the table and said, "Here, this is the reward for your mission."

I won't take any of the money you got from Holt.

And because you killed the butcher, I gave you an extra 50 yuan as a reward. "

This was his first income, though not much, and it meant a lot to him.

"Right, there's a celebration dinner tonight."

"This time, to be able to take back the necessary medicine with such a small amount of casualties, you must be able to do great things. At night, you will have to attend."

Old Jack smiled.

Zero shook his head. "I don't like the liveliness."

With that, he picked up the purse and turned around to leave.

Old Jack could only shout after her, "Don't forget to find Leah. She'll take you to the new room."

However, Zero had already pushed open the door. He didn't know if he heard him or not.

Old Jack looked at the closed door and murmured, "What a weirdo."
