Chapter 99

Icy cold water sprinkled down from the sprinkler head and fell on Zero's body like a light rain.

His body was well-proportioned, and even in this age of supreme strength, he was slender.

However, this seemingly weak body concealed a powerful explosive force.

With his eyes closed, he could feel the minute reaction of his muscles to the water drops on his body.

The muscle fibers under his skin quivered with a certain rhythm, and each drop fell on him, and was drawn to the ground by a slight quiver.

It was as if the clear water had passed the zero point on his body. However, the zero point on his body knew that the trembling of his muscles had accelerated the process tenfold or even faster.

This meant that the zero body was very sensitive to external stimuli and could automatically respond to external stimuli without any indication from the zero brain.

For now, the biggest application of this kind of reaction is to put it above defense.

The muscles and fibers of his body were like a suit of biological armor.

Lingcun revealed a helpless smile.

Such a body obviously wasn't something a normal human could possess. Even an Adept would only be able to produce a defense mechanism similar to a zero when they were in the combat arena and their abilities had reached a high level.

However, since zero was not a domain that focused on cultivation, there was no need to talk about high-level abilities.

Right now, he was only at the fifth step of Dexterity. To many people, Dexterity's enhancement was more focused on escaping than fighting.

Gold right eye, body survival system, body surface of biological armor.

These things could only make Zero think of the word "reform".

If it wasn't for the fact that there was something similar to 'memories' in his memory center, Lingzhen would have suspected that he had created it from nowhere.

Like the biochemical humans in countless sci-fi works, the place where he was born was not a warm mother but a cold test tube and nutrition tank.

But that became a question.

Zero knew that he had awakened from his hibernation, and that he had been asleep for at least fifty years, according to the record of the hibernation.

In other words, he was a standard human being of the old days.

If it was just a modified human body, then the problem was, with the current technology, it was not easy to transform an ordinary person's body into a zero state.

However, in the old days, there were already people who could do it.

Zero is the proof of life, and all the clues, there is only one name — Halson!

The short shower was over.

In turbulent times, not every place could be showered extravagantly.

Only cities like Remutt and Phoenix that had their own water circulation system would have this kind of condition.

Though cleaning a body is expensive, zero is willing to come here once in a while.

A clean body, full of strong vitality and vitality, is enough to face any cruel challenge.

He came out of the bathroom. In the hotel room, Monnie was leaning against the window with Lala in her arms, looking out of the window at the prim but orderly buildings of Phoenix.

At the sound of movement behind her, Monnie turned.

Zero was naked except for a towel around his waist.

The white jade body of his body flowed with a dreamlike luster under the twilight outside the window. For a moment, Monnie was stunned. The girl shyly said, "Zero, you're so nice."

Zero had a weird look on his face. No normal man would like to be described as "good".

However, he did not know how to deal with the abnormality of his body. He could faintly feel that there were still many secrets hidden in his body.

One of them was the ability to absorb. After his battle with the butcher, he had increased his strength and defense. After killing Hans, he had gained the ability to speed up his recovery.

These abilities were all the strength of the individuals he had killed before death.

And in some way, zero reproduces their ability.

Even though he was unable to replicate it 100%, it was already a terrifying ability.

The way to absorb is to think of blood.

Like Leah, after inadvertently consuming Hans's blood, the cells of the body were transformed.

However, the zeros were slightly different. They had also swallowed Hans' blood, but the zeros had not been affected by it. Instead, they had duplicated the abilities of the other party.

Even if he was a scientific idiot, he knew that this must involve a series of complex and delicate movements, such as gene cracking and duplication.

If this secret were to be made public, there would be no doubt that a large company or organization, including the Dark Council, would be interested in capturing itself on an autopsy table.

Zero quickly put on his clothes and hid his jade-like body.

However, in Phoenix City, he did not wear his tactical suit. His casual clothes made him less indifferent, and his entire person made him feel much more comfortable.

Finally, a blindfold covered the golden right eye, and the preparation for the trip was completed.

"I'm going out. There's bread and water on the table.

Maybe you can take a shower. I've paid enough. "

Zero said before he left.

Monnie nodded and didn't ask where Zero was going.

She was a smart kid, and she knew that Zero had some secrets he didn't want anyone to know.

She would not ask, and if she wanted to tell her, she would be a listener and keep his secrets.

The information center in Phoenix where he was going to look up the name Halson had to be replenished for their excursion in the near future.

Food and water are necessary, and even some first-aid medicine is needed.

Hopefully Monnie would stay in Phoenix. Death's Ridge was too dangerous for a child like her.

But Monnie didn't want to stay. One of the most important reasons she wanted to follow Zero was to be able to travel all over the continent looking for her mother.

This was Monnie's obsession, and he had no desire to interfere.

Everyone had the power to choose their own course of life so that they could be Monnie, a child of twelve or thirteen.

Inside the hotel, Monnie ate a slice of bread.

Even the crumbs on the table were swept in by her pink tongue.

In turbulent times, wasting even a tiny bit of food is a sin.

After another sip of clean water, Monnie stretched.

She thought of zero, and if it weren't for him, Monnie would be living a life worse than that of a dog.

As she had, to be able to live like this and find her mother.

In return for all the things she had done to her, she was willing to use her body to make it comfortable.

However, for her, it was more like the feeling of an elder brother or even a father.

Monnie was inexplicably moved when she heard Zero call her his daughter.

Perhaps in his heart, before Monnie found her mother, he would be willing to be her temporary father, giving her love and care.

Monnie stood up, gathered up the things on the table, hugged Lara and said, "Shall we go take a bath?"

Lala was a little strange today. Normally, when the sky darkened, the heat would gradually retreat, and the listless little beasts would regain their vigor.

But Lara was still tired.

Monnie was not in good spirits, so she put it back on the bed.

He ran into the bathroom, where there was a bathtub.

Monique did not want to waste this rare opportunity by simply taking a bath like Zero. She poured water into the bathtub and took off her clothes, revealing her young and tender body.

Monnie was not yet an adult, not plump, but rather thin.

But there were bumps on her chest, and two cherry-points were dyed an enchanting pink.

Especially those legs that were much longer than girls of the same age, that was the mark of a future beauty.

She crossed her nearly perfect long legs and slipped her foot into the tub.

The water in the tub was moderately warm, and Monnie sat in it, letting it flood her body.

Drenched in the warm and clean water, Monnie couldn't help but let out a little of his breath. Even her pale face was slightly flushed.

Unbeknownst to Monnie, who was enjoying a warm bath, the diamond-shaped coat of arms on Lala's forehead glowed with a soft green light in the darkening, dimly lit room.
