"I don't want to either!"
In the night wind, a girl screamed, "I don't want to deceive anyone who's willing to help me.
But if I don't, Johnson won't let me go.
He'll hurt me, and he'll leave me such a memory! "
Amidst the screams, Monnie yanked off her clothes.
Her delicate body trembled in the cold wind.
On her small body, there were three or four wounds that were around twenty centimeters long.
Obviously, it had been drawn with a sharp object. It was impossible to imagine how much pain such a tender body would feel when it fell upon these scars.
Zero stared at them, his fists clenched unconsciously.
Once again wrapping the blanket around her body, Monnie lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. "No matter what, I want to live."
At least, before I find my mother.
"No matter what …"
It was like saying to herself, Monnie repeated.
Suddenly, his shoulders sank.
She looked up, and her eyes were sharp.
"Relying on the protection of others doesn't guarantee anything. If there is something that I have to do, then becoming stronger and protecting myself is the most basic guarantee."
"Life can only be grasped in one's hands."
Zero grabbed Monnie's shoulder and said, "Tomorrow, I have a mission to take care of.
If you have a life to come back to, come to me.
I'll take you away, but only to protect you until you're eighteen.
Until then, I will teach you how to protect yourself in the wilderness. "
Zero squatted down and looked straight at Monnie. "If you lie to me again, I'll just toss you into the mob in the wilderness."
Girls like you, they'd love it. "
Monique nodded, hugged hard, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, sir."
After letting go of her hand once more, Monnie disappeared into the dark alley, vanishing into the dark night of Rage Reef City.
Zero smiled self-deprecatingly and wondered if he was being naive.
How could he help a child like Monnie, who did not know her fate?
However, even though his body was trembling in the cold wind, Zero was unable to go against his will.
If he didn't see it, the figure would haunt him like a ghost.
His heart was not as cold as it seemed.
Back in the hotel room, Leigh was still awake.
When she came back, Leah didn't ask how things were going. Instead, she scolded him: "Why are you back so late?"
Then she sniffed at him like a puppy, and said, "It smells of alcohol and women's perfume."
The women in the bar smell better than I do. "
She smiled like a jealous little wife.
He picked up Leigh and they sat together on the couch in the room.
Zero said nothing, just kissed Leah hard on the lips.
Leigh's body writhed, rubbing against the sensitive parts of her body.
The temperature in the room was rising, and Leigh's face was flushed, her eyes blurred, her small mouth slightly drawn.
If Zero hadn't let her go, she would have been choking.
"Give it to me."
Leah said, grasping the zero collar.
Ling'Er smiled and shook her head, "No, I have a mission tomorrow, so I need to conserve my energy."
"What mission?"
Leah's eyes lit up. "It's about me?"
Zero nodded.
The temperature, which had just risen, dropped stealthily again.
"Don't go, will you?"
"Don't be silly."
"No, I'm serious."
Liya stood up. "Zero, stop running about my business."
"It's useless."
Zero's eyes turned cold, but he was angry.
"Don't be like that, you forget, I'm also a doctor, although I don't have any license."
Leah sat down in Zero's arms and rested her head on his chest.
You know, at Remutt, when you were on a mission.
I hurt myself, but do you know what happened?
My wound, it healed automatically.
"That's right. Just like Hans, new flesh and blood quickly appeared on the lacerated surface of the wound. There were even some excess flesh and blood due to the speed of growth …"
"That's why I knew then what was going on. Hans's cells were invading my body. He was trying to turn me into a monster like Hans."
Leah shook her head. "It's not a genetic mutation. As far as I know, there's no precedent for that."
So there can be no one or company who can stop me, or even cure me.
I'll die, zero.
I will kill myself when I become a monster.
But before that, let me be your most beautiful wife, and you, don't take any chances about me, will you? "
Holding her face in his hands, he said, "As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I won't give up.
Because you are my wife, understand? "
Leah wanted to say something else, but she sealed her mouth.
He carried her into the bedroom, where the lights went out quickly, followed by a faint groan from Leigh.
The next day, Lia was dropped off at Victor's office.
Victor had shaved off his beard and tied up his hair. He looked younger and more spirited.
Leah didn't want to, but she knew she couldn't. She stayed in the clinic to be examined by Victor.
After doing all this, the Zero-driving heavy locomotive left the Anger Reef.
As the city gradually became the back, the broken roads, the sloping towers, and the desolate ruins became the main melody of the world.
It was as if he were the only one left in the world.
He returned to being a lone wolf, roaming the wilderness and searching for his prey.
All the way south, because his prey was in the north.
After about a hundred kilometers, he heard the rumbling sound of armoured vehicles.
The sound was very obvious in the vast land, coming from the far horizon.
Zero stopped and removed the blindfold from his left eye.
Ron's army was still in the city, and in all the forces in the vicinity, only Rembert had the power to deploy such a mobile force.
However, through the golden eye on the right, the Zeros drew closer to the field of view. Upon reaching the armoured vehicle, it depicted a coat of arms that did not belong to Remutt.
It was an emblem of a sword and a shield half guarded by the Violet Redbud. In terms of the limited knowledge of the new era, he did not know what organization it belonged to.
In the middle of the two armoured vehicles, there was an old model of a black car, and behind the car sat a golden-haired youth.
When Zero's gaze fell on him, the golden-haired youth seemed to sense something and he immediately looked in the direction of Zero.
It was just that he did not seem to have reached zero, so his eyes were filled with doubt.
Zero retracted his vision and covered the golden eye again.
The heavy locomotive started up again and kept moving towards its destination.
He didn't care who the other party was or where they came from.
However, at this moment, he didn't know what he had missed.
Fate, sometimes so inadvertently pass you by.
It was not until a long time later, when you turned around, that you discovered its trajectory.
But by then it was too late.
