Chapter 13

Because of Silver Tree City's achievements, Zero's position in the base had been enhanced, so he was given an independent suite.

Although it was only a small room with two rooms, it was already a luxury in the base.

After thanking Lia for her guidance, the beautiful young lady said her goodbyes and left.

It was rather touching to have his new home.

He could no longer remember his own past, and every time he tried to remember, the central nervous pain in his head was so intense that he had to give it up.

And now, the only thing that could help him find the past was also that Hibernation Pit. That was the only clue he had right now.

But Zero knew that the hibernation pod was already in Old Jack's possession.

Unless Zero continued to upgrade his position in the base, Old Jack would not so easily spit out the old era's technological crystals willingly.

Regardless of the era, strength was the most basic guarantee.

Without superior strength, he could only be trampled on like an ant.

This point was very clear.

He left the house with the electronic key Leah had given him and headed in the direction of the armoury.

There weren't many zero-fifty bullets left. After getting close to twenty rounds from Chief Smith, there were only seven left.

This amount was not enough for one round of marksmanship. Moreover, he needed to familiarize himself with the M500's recoil, and he needed a lot of practice.

Practicing, on the other hand, required an extremely large amount of bullets.

As he walked along the passageway to the living area, he encountered many people from the base.

It was working time, and it was mostly women who remained in the living area.

All of their gazes carried a peculiar expression. These women were of different ages, and their looks were even more beautiful and ugly. However, without exception, Zero's gaze went from their gazes to 'Invitations'.

There were many married women among them, but none of them hid anything.

In this turbulent era, strength was everything.

That was directly proportional to the value of zero. The greater the strength of zero, the more money, wealth and status one would obtain.

And women were precisely a type of wealth.

Only he had no interest in such an invitation, and of course he was not a Puritan, nor was he opposed to the pleasures of the hour.

Sometimes, after a fierce battle, some sort of euphoria was needed to quell the stimulation of the blood on the nerves.

It was just that he seemed to have a strong self-control over his body. Right now, to him, the joy of fishing and water was far less important than increasing his strength.

Under the disappointed gazes of the others, Zero walked away.

At the door of the armoury, Zero unexpectedly met up with Zoug.

The total length of the base's soldiers were zero. Laughing, they walked up and affectionately put their hands on Zero's shoulders.

Zero frowned, as if he was not used to Zuo Ge's enthusiasm, but he didn't object.

Zoug seemed to have gotten used to Zero's indifference. He put his expression into his eyes and laughed, "What, you want to visit the armory as soon as you wake up?"

That's not good. You have to learn to relax.

Or I'd buy you a drink, you probably don't know, but Rita, the prettiest waitress in the bar, is very interested in you.

"Maybe you can sleep in her bed tonight. That's the dream of many men in the base."

"Including you?"

"Including me!"

He didn't believe it.

With Zoug's status as the general commander of the soldiers, if he wanted to sleep with a woman and was only a female attendant, would it be her turn to refuse?

Zek knew what he was thinking and explained, "It's Old Jack's rule.

The base had no objection to love, but everything had to be done willingly.

"If someone tries to force themselves onto the bow, they will be thrown out of the base the moment they are discovered. That's a death worse than death, so no one dares to violate this rule."

Thinking of Leigh, that might have been one of the old man's ways of protecting his granddaughter.

"Come on, man, believe me, Rita's long legs will keep you going."

Lefg patted Zero on the shoulder and smiled.

Zero shook his head. "I'm not free."

After saying that, he gently pushed open the door to the left and went inside the armory himself.

Staring at Zero's back, Zuo Ge shook his head and said, "A guy who doesn't know how to enjoy himself in the timely manner is really boring."

After half an hour, Zero returned to his room.

He returned empty-handed.

There were no such special bullets in the armory. The person in charge of the armory told him that if zero needed such bullets, he would probably have to go to the military district of a large corporation to get someone to customize them.

After all, in this day and age there weren't many people who still used a big revolver like the M500.

Therefore, it was impossible for them to mass-produce the bullets that they needed, but if they were made by hand, the cost would not be low.

With only 50 Yuan on hand, he would probably only be able to buy 50 rounds of bullets.

Thinking of this, he poured out the coins in his pocket.

The coins were made of silver, and it was conceivable that paper money could no longer be used in the turbulent years.

Only metals like gold and silver, which are of current value in any age, can be used as money.

Bullets, firearms and other supplies can also be used as semi-circulating currency, but not as much as gold and silver in terms of preservation.

Of course, big companies and chaebol may also develop their own credit institutions, but you can also tell with your toes that once these things leave the publishing company's base or branch, they're like scrap paper, so they're much less real than coins made of gold and silver.

Put your only possessions under the pillow and go to bed.

Protecting Leah's job didn't officially start until tomorrow, and he didn't want to waste his precious rest time at a party or dealing with women.

Thus, he fell into a deep slumber.

He dreamed again.

In his dream, the beautiful figure floated erratically, like a watery mirror or a watery moon.

Every time he tried to hold her hand, the dream vanished like a bubble.

And then again, again and again.

After an unknown period of time, Zero suddenly woke up.

There was someone outside the door.

Instinct told him so, and then there was a knock at the door.

Since someone was knocking on the door, it meant that they were not enemies. However, Zero had always been careful, so he hid the Fine Steel Dagger behind him and opened the door.

Outside was a woman smelling of wine.

She was older than Liya, but not much older.

It looked like zero, but there was a face more mature than Leah's.

The woman's lips were dyed an exaggerated purple color, giving off an air of dust and wind.

She was dressed as a waiter.

She wore a white blouse dotted with necklaces and a tight black dress.

Beneath the skirt, long, straight legs extended out, plus a pair of 0 cm high heels, the woman was almost zero height.

She pushed Zero through the door, shaking off her heels, and said, "I heard Zoug say you weren't interested in me.

But I'm interested in you, okay, let me sleep with you tonight.

Or are you an incompetent weakling? "

Zero frowned. Women are trouble.

Drunk women are more trouble.

As he retreated, the woman pushed him over the edge of the bed. She pushed him back onto the bed and then sat down on top of him, excited.

Her purple lips stuck out a sharp tongue. She gently licked Zero's face and said, "You smell really good. You smell much better than those stinky men."

However, a dagger suddenly appeared at the side of her neck.

"Get out!"

He frowned, his face ashen, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his forehead, as if he was enduring some kind of pain.

What the woman didn't know was that Zero was trying his best to control his body. Otherwise, the dagger wouldn't be placed on her neck, but would instead pierce her body and shatter her limbs.

A huge voice kept shouting in his mind: Kill her!

Eat her!

Kill her!

Eat her!

Shut up!

Zero issued a loud roar in his mind before it was gradually suppressed down.

Under the woman's incredulous gaze, Zero forced her out of the room with a dagger, then threw out her clothes and high heels before slamming the door.

Sitting by the door, he closed his eyes in pain. His head felt like it was being roasted, hot and painful.

Outside the door, a woman's unwilling voice rang out, "Zero, I will find an opportunity to beat you up!"

"Remember my name, I am Rita!"

Zero roared, as if to force the pain out of his body, and hit the ground with his fist.

With a peng sound, the ground groaned under the impact of his fist. A circular crack spread out in all directions.

The zero pain lessened slightly, but he was stunned. He did not remember having such great strength to be able to shatter the hard cement ground with a single punch!

Rita put her clothes back on, her eyes still blazing, kicked twice at the door, and turned to leave.

However, just as she turned around, a black shadow swept over and hit her forehead.

Rita shuddered and fainted.

The body that still had a shocking temperature fell into a pair of rough palms. A man's voice sounded in a low voice, "* *, since she doesn't want to do anything to you, why don't you take advantage of me!"
