Chapter 59

Broken roads, windless afternoons.

The sun was hot as it hit the ground, causing the heat to continuously rise. Finally, it created a curved shadow of light, causing the road in the distance to become distorted and unreal.

Just like this world, he would never know what tomorrow would be like.

Or new life, or destruction.

Zero sat by the shoulder of the road, the heavy locomotive beside him.

He pressed his hand to his temple, feeling extremely uncomfortable from the constant pain in his head.

Fortunately, the pain had weakened with the passage of time, and was now as weak as a needle, negligible.

The pain stemmed from the precise calculation of dodging Lafayette. It was not difficult to shoot at a target more than a kilometer away. As for the point of zero, it required two consistent shots. It was not as simple as they claimed.

From ballistic calculations to the resistance of the bullet through the air, the interference of the wind, and even the topography and magnetic field may affect the final point of impact.

The first bullet went through Lough's elemental field, and the second went on to kill him.

This seemed like a simple operation, but it required complicated and precise calculations. This level of data processing already exceeded the capacity of the brain that was at zero.

He felt lucky that he didn't die of a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot, so having a headache for a while wasn't a big deal.

However, he knew that after breaking through the computational limit of his brain this time, his brain region's development could be said to have taken a big step forward.

As for what would happen in the future, it was unclear whether the consequences would be good or bad.

All he knew was that the next time he performed such a large amount of calculations, he should be able to press down on the board a little faster.

Zero stood up, feeling weak.

Calculations that exceeded his brain load consumed a great deal of energy, so when a bottle of water and bread was handed to him, he took it without a second thought and wiped the food out of his eyes at an incredible speed.

Sue and Leah were surprised at the zero, which was always so quiet as they knew it, and seldom so raucous as it was now.

After the bread and water, he felt that it was not enough, so the three tubes of nutrients were quickly devoured.

This amount of food was already more than four times as much as normal. For zero, which could only last for a day or two after drinking 200 milliliters of water, this amount of food was more than enough for him to eat for ten days and a half months.

"Are you all right?"

With the sudden appearance of the King of the Stomach's Zero, his eyes were filled with more curiosity than concern.

Zero felt as if his body was disintegrating the food into pure energy at an abnormally terrifying speed before it was continuously transferred to his body and limbs.

His body was filled with strength and his weakness was completely swept away. This made him feel at ease.

As she spoke, Zero nodded at her, "It's fine, I'm just a little hungry."

Thanks to you, by the way.

I'm afraid we'll have a lot of trouble if we don't. "

"Nothing, I also want to get even with these two sluts."

To be honest, I'm the only one who can't do it, but you won't be the same. "

Su Su patted her long sword, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for the good material you gave me. It made my sword lose a third of its weight, and its attack speed increased by nearly half."

"This is equivalent to increasing my battle power. Thus, it is very fair for me to help you this once."

Zero smiled.

At the same time, he did not deny that helping Zero was also helping him.

This answer fit perfectly in his stomach. He also felt that the relationship between the two was getting closer.

He wasn't a friend, but at least he wasn't a stranger.

Friendship in the wild is not common, and real friends are few and far between.

From the oppression of survival and profit, there are no eternal friends or enemies in this world, not in the old days, not in the new.

"Then, where do you plan to go next?"

he asked as he checked the crane truck.

He returned the sword to the leather sheath on his back and pointed it into the distance. "I'm still wandering around like before."

Quest, earn money, then buy news, find enemies.

"This cycle probably will last for a very long time."

The casing of the heavy locomotive was worn, but the parts were still intact.

As he tried to start the engine, a series of low roars could be heard from the engine, indicating that the engine had not been damaged.

In the Zero-engine car, Sue did not ask where he was going.

She suddenly pulled Zero over and kissed him hard on the cheek, and then, in their astonishment, Sue turned and walked away.

"The next time we meet, remember to buy me a drink, pretty boy."

He shook his head as he watched Su Bai leave the highway like a robber and run towards the wilderness.

He knew that the kiss just now meant that he had to repay her for helping him once.

This woman, with her wildness and her style of doing things, felt that she was beginning to like her.

"Let's go. Our journey is far from over."

said Zero to Leah.

Leah came back to herself, got into the engine, and tightened her arms around Zero's waist.

Wherever the end of the journey was, she had to stay with it until the end of her life.

Three days after leaving Remutt at zero, Sean welcomed a distinguished guest.

The guest had noble blond hair and wore a dark red leather robe. The sword and shield embroidered on his chest represented a mysterious organization of the continent.

Dark Council!

It has been said that the Dark Council is the true master of the continent.

Theon did not deny the statement that the Dark Council had unimaginably vast resources and force, and that their influence extended to every known corner of the continent.

Although the Dark Council and other corporate bases on the mainland remain loosely connected, there is no clear subordination.

No base, however, was willing to offend the Dark Council, and Remutt was no exception.

The guest in front of Sean was named Saurun.

He was young, but he was already a captain, with a hundred private troops under his command.

This private force is well positioned from manning to equipping, and it is conceivable that they will be able to perform extremely efficient combat on the battlefield.

However, Saurun's team seemed to have encountered a battle earlier. The hidden anger from the young guest and the faint stench of blood from the soldiers could be detected.

Theon's eyes had always been poisonous.

He would never offend a team that had just retreated from the battlefield, no matter how weak it was.

The soldiers that had just left the battlefield didn't retreat from their killing intent. If they were to offend them, no one could say for sure what would happen.

Especially when this team belonged to the Dark Council, Shane's principle was naturally raised to the highest priority.

"What can I do for you, my dear Sauron?"

Sean asked with a faint smile on his face.

Saurun asked his followers to take out a tablet computer that was not even 5 centimeters thick. This was the Tactics board for each Blood Knight.

It was connected to the brain of the Dark Council, and it had various functions depending on its powers.

Of those, there is no doubt that photo storage is the most basic function.

"Tell me, where are the two men now?"

I know they've been to Remutt, so don't challenge my IQ on that. "

Sean was still smiling, but was slightly startled when he got to the photo.

The photographs were of a man and a woman, whom Theon did not know, but the man, whom the union chairman recognized as zero.

Sean could clearly smell the strong smell of gunpowder coming from Saurun.

Sauron was in a very bad mood.

Sean didn't want to and didn't dare play any tricks on him at this time.

Although he liked Zero, if the other side of the scales was the Dark Council, Sean did not hesitate to lean to the other side.

No one plays Dragon Base Valley, South China's Three New Graces.
