Chapter 117 - Fangs (1)
It was an hour later when Zero Mercedes-Benz was on the road to Phoenix City. The journey that should have been completed in ten minutes, but it took an hour for Zero to escape the senses of the creatures hiding in the ruins. There were several times when Zero was almost discovered. Fortunately, he managed to avoid danger and eventually made it back home.
The night was dark, and Zero's mood was as heavy as the night.
During the day, he had lost too much blood and fainted. He did not know the outcome of the battle between Phoenix City and Fenrir Wolf. However, even if Phoenix City exterminated those ordinary Fenrir Wolves, the moment he thought of the humanoid new life form, he would not be able to relax. If the army of Phoenix City did not take care of it along the way, in time, with its genes as the blueprint, a new generation of Finli Wolves would definitely be born in the wilderness.
And this new life form, God knows how many in the future. As more and more of these new generations of intelligent life forms appear, the advantages of humanity will be equalized. One could imagine, that in order to fight for resources that were already scarce, the earth would fall into an endless war. In this war, mankind may not be the last.
On the highway, Zero's speed didn't slow down even though it was full of worries. Maintaining a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour, after two hours of flying, Zero could vaguely see the outline of Phoenix City on the horizon.
However, when he saw the city, Zero also saw a figure.
A figure with wild red hair appeared.
Scarlet Wolf!
The zero pupil contracts, immediately stops. At the same time, the revolver came to his right hand and aimed at the leader of the bandits.
Scarlet Wolf leaned against the locomotive, both hands on the handle of the metal hammer. The huge hammer hit the ground, supporting Scarlet Wolf's body as he blocked the path that had to be passed by zero.
Of course, Zero did not know that the only reason Red Wolf could appear here at this time was because of the White-headed Eagle. In accordance with the secret agreement between the two, the White-headed Eagle provided zero information, and the Scarlet Wolf was in charge of intercepting them. Lan Qi, on the other hand, was waiting in ambush. He was waiting for Zero to reveal his weak point, then he would give him a sniper rifle.
The White-headed Eagle and Scarlet Wolf arrived at Phoenix City early this morning, only to find out that Zero had followed the army to Morin City to hunt down the Finry Wolf. Although the White-headed Eagle was the first to enter the city, Zero lost contact with the army right after the appearance of the new Wolf King. Even with the White-headed Eagle's ability, it was impossible to find out the exact details of him.
However, from the information he obtained from monitoring the army, he found out that Zero did not return to the city with the army. Thus, the White-headed Eagle was certain that Zero was still lingering in Phoenix City for some reason. As for the little girl with him, she was still in Phoenix City. It was impossible for Zero to just leave like that. He would definitely return to Phoenix City, so the White-headed Eagle told Crimson Wolf to wait for him on the road that had to be taken between Morin City and Phoenix City, waiting for Zero to deliver himself to him.
The truth was that the bald eagle's judgement was correct. Seeing zero, Scarlet Wolf revealed a heartfelt smile. He believed that Zero would die in the wilderness tonight!
Upon seeing Scarlet Wolf, Zero frowned. Back in Titan City, the leader of the bandits had tried to kill him. The enmity between Zero and the wolf thief had already been saved when Yue Yang charged into the lair to take away Kaelyn, but the encounter with the red wolf in Titan City only further intensified it. It was just that at that time, the wolf thief was in a hurry to retreat, so the winner between the red wolf and the zero had not been decided.
Right now, it seemed that the battle that had yet to begin would continue on at this moment.
Zero realized that he had underestimated the wolf-bandit's obsession with hatred, and it had to be said that Red Wolf had picked a good time. Scarlet Wolf stood in front of the road, and behind him was Phoenix City. If Zero wanted to enter the city, he would have to ask the Scarlet Wolf about his hammer. Of course, Zero could just turn around and leave, but Zero did not believe that the Scarlet Wolf would come here alone. The other thieves were definitely hiding somewhere.
And within the circumference of a thousand kilometers, other than the city of Morin, there were no other ruins. A large number of plains meant that once he encountered a wolf thief, what awaited him was an endless battle or flight. Regardless of which one it was, the one to die in the end would definitely be zero. Not to mention that his current state was not even half of his usual one, even in his best condition, Zero was still unable to break through the encirclement of the wolf thieves on the terrain of the plains.
Zero immediately decided to face the challenge. Without a doubt, Scarlet Wolf was the strongest member of the encirclement. However, as long as they could break through his blockade, it would definitely be beyond the expectations of the other bandits. Only by forcefully breaking through the Red Wolf trial could he have a slim chance of survival.
Without any hesitation, Zero suddenly dashed towards Red Wolf.
Scarlet Wolf was slightly surprised, then he laughed out loud. Instead of retreating, he advanced instead. This was exactly what he wanted. Scarlet Wolf raised his hammer and shouted, "Zero, tonight is the day you die!"
Zero frowned again.
Although he and the bandits had some dealings with each other, neither of them had any mutual knowledge of each other's names. As for Zero, it was not to the extent that he could be known by his appearance alone. Just by saying out his name meant that someone with ulterior motives or base had revealed their information to the thieves. After eliminating all the impossible factors, there was only one possibility left.
Parkland!
It seemed unlikely that this large company would work with the notorious bandit, but besides it, Zero could not think of the second possibility.
As long as he wanted to, he wouldn't stop walking.
The distance between him and the Scarlet Wolf was about 500 meters. Under the rapid movement of zero, this distance was shortened to around 400 meters.
With a slight tremble of his left wheel, a raging flame sprayed out from the muzzle of his gun.
Zero opened fire, and the bullet that carried over 3000 joules of energy shot out towards the forehead of the Red Wolf!
However, a giant metal hammer blocked the way in between them.
At the same time that Hammer ear shot out a spark, Scarlet Wolf also moved.
He did not specialize in speed, but running with his sledgehammer upside down was terrifying. The huge hammer created a series of sparks as it struck the ground. As the Scarlet Wolf shook his arms, the malevolent metal hammer was thrown in the direction of zero.
Zero stop, roll, bounce up and then rush forward. A series of dazzling tactical moves caused the huge hammer of the Scarlet Wolf to strike at empty space, creating a shallow pit in the already fractured road.
Three hundred meters.
He raised his gun again and shot a few more times, all aimed at important positions like the head and chest of the Red Wolf.
Scarlet Wolf no longer had the giant hammer in his hand, but he was still fearless. He used both of his hands to protect the place where the bullet landed. And so … Fifty bullets spurted blood on his arms, and Red Wolf ignored the bullet that had nearly pierced his arms. Gritting his teeth, his right hand made a tugging motion, causing the chain that was tied to his arm and attached to the hammer to immediately collapse.
Immediately, a vicious wind blew from behind him. He did not need to turn his head to know that Scarlet Wolf had pulled the hammer back through the chain and was smashing it towards him.
At this moment, they were still two hundred meters apart!
