War Lord

Chapter 123: Death ridge

At dusk, George walked into the ward and saw Ling was packing things.

This was the third day after Lan Qi's assassination was unsuccessful, and he had basically recovered and was ready to leave the hospital. But in the event of an accident, he is about to leave Phoenix tomorrow, and after passing through Death Ridge, he will continue to march towards the blue-collar mountains in the north.

George threw zero a crumpled cigarette, and the officer closed the door of the ward with a "slap". Otherwise, the taste of inferior nicotine will definitely attract criticism, and George does not want to be complained by the hospital to the military department.

"Why, are you leaving?" George asked as he lit his cigarette.

Nodded, he stretched out his finger and rubbed it directly on the cigarette butt, and the cigarette was instantly lit.

George was slightly surprised: "So the fire element can still be used like this? Sometimes I really envy you with supernatural powers, sometimes it's too **** convenient."

Ling smiled and said, "Are you here to pay me back for my wine?"

George's face was immediately pulled down, and he shook his head and said, "I said, buddy, you shouldn't be so stingy."

"You are right this time." Ling said with a smile, "So I plan to invite you to drink a few more drinks before leaving."

"That's right, this is like a man. Don't care about it, don't you just have money for wine." George laughed. It's always pleasant to ask someone to drink, isn't it?

"What are your plans afterwards?"

When they left the ward, George asked casually as the two walked along the passage to the hospital door.

Zero replied vaguely: "I'm going to Northland, and I should leave tomorrow."

"You don't wait for Campbell, the fat pig will have to rest for two or three days before setting off?" George asked unexpectedly.

"Didn't you also say that I am not like him? In fact, I just took the opportunity to protect him and earn some extra money."

George stopped him: "That is to say, you are going to cross the mountain of death alone with that child? Listen, buddy, the mountain of death is not a good place to go to the mountains and water, it is full of dangerous jungles, and the alien beasts are still there. There are mob settlements. But the real danger is the death flowers that grow from nuclear waste. They are everywhere, and those who stick to them die immediately. This is also the true origin of the name of Death Ridge. Besides, there is a plate at the exit of Death Ridge. The bottomless seam created by the impact will kill you if you don’t pay attention. So I have to say that it’s unwise for you to do this."

Smile without answering.

He naturally knew that to cross the life forbidden area like Death Mountain, the success rate of the team was much higher than that of the individual. But now he can't help but choose, Parkland's assassin has appeared, and is wandering around him. If Zero still followed the caravan in a leisurely manner, it would be no different from being a living target. Moreover, Ling feels that his perception of danger has dropped a lot since staying with Campbell's caravan.

Life that is too convenient and comfortable will make even sharp knives dull. If Zero wants to keep his sharpness, he has to go back to the wilderness. Use endless dangers to sharpen yourself, so that you can maintain and even become sharper.

A blunt blade cannot pierce the behemoth of Parkland, only a sharper knife can do it. This is very clear. What's more, he also wanted to use Death Mountain to carry out counter-sniper attacks. If you want a more pleasant journey in the future, then Zero must let the assassin stay on Death Hill forever, and this is one of the reasons why he separated from the caravan.

Seeing Zero's expression, George knew that he couldn't convince him. The chief no longer has to spend much time in this regard, everyone in the wilderness can choose their own way of life, as long as they can afford that price. Just thinking that Monnie's immature face would haunt the dangerous jungle, George felt a little heartbroken for no reason.

If Jonah is still alive, she will be as old as the kid, right?

George thought, the officer at this time looked a little more sentimental than usual.

There are people coming and going on the street, and at the moment when the radiation intensity is gradually decreasing, no one wants to stay in a house where they can get sick. At night, there will be more people on the street, and the city’s bars will be full. This is also the common way of life of people in the new era, which is like animals going up and down at night.

On the lively street, Ling saw Moni.

The girl with Lara on her head is holding a photo and asking every passerby who passes by. The picture shows a young woman who looks a bit similar to Moni, but she is Moni's mother. This photo was drawn by a dedicated person under Moni’s description using the imaging technology of the Information Center. The composite photos with a similarity of more than 90% cost Moni nearly 20 pieces.

This money is not given by pockets, but by the girls who take care of the pockets and take time to dance on the streets in the evening and night. Of course, Moni's beauty will always cause some trouble. But the dagger flying between her fingers and the dazzling fancy strokes always turn trouble into no trouble. In fact, even Zero praised Moni's talent in the use of daggers.

It's a pity that before Moni has experienced genetic shocks to give birth to any abilities in any field, this kind of technology can only be used for fisting, but it is enough to scare ordinary people.

And during these days in Phoenix, Moni was not idle either. The girl actively seeks all the information about her mother through various methods, but now it seems that the effect is not very good.

When Moni lowered her head in disappointment again, a warm palm was placed on her head. Moni raised her head and saw the smiling zero between her fingers.

"As long as you don't give up, you will succeed one day!" Zero encouraged.

The disappointed expression on Moni's face was swept away, she nodded heavily and held Zero's hand, like a daughter who acted like a baby to her father. Then she saw George next to him, and quickly nodded hello to the officer.

"Don't bother you father and daughter, zero, don't forget that you have to invite me to drink tonight!"

After reminding zero, George shook his big hand in a farewell sign. The tall figure merged into the crowd and quickly disappeared.

Ling Pai patted Monnie on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go to eat first. Then we will go to the commercial street to buy some supplies. We will leave Phoenix tomorrow."

In these days in Phoenix, the food for the two is basically bread and water. It's rare to go out to eat, even if it's not for the precious ingredients, just being able to change the taste is enough for Moni to be happy for a long time. So the little regret that could no longer stay in the city to inquire about her mother also disappeared from the girl's heart.

Seeing Moni's brilliant and innocent face, I felt that it was worth the extravagance once in a while. At dusk, watching Monnie hop around like a happy bird in front. Zero seems to have a feeling of going back to the old days and taking her daughter to the streets.

It's a pity that there is still one less person around, and it would be nice if Leah was there. Zero suddenly felt this thought, and when she thought of Leah, Zero felt a little pain in her heart.

"What's wrong, Zero?" The careful girl quickly noticed the strangeness on Zero's face.

He shook his head and said with a zero smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the wound is still a bit painful."

He was smiling, but the smile was a little reluctant, which let Moni know that the answer was nothing. But she is a smart girl, Zero doesn't want to say, she doesn't want to ask. So she smiled like an angel and walked towards a restaurant on the commercial street holding Zero's hand.

In Moni's heart, even if she can't do anything for zero, it's good to make him smile. For this reason, Moni is willing to show the most beautiful smile for zero!

It was six o'clock in the morning, and zero opened his eyes.

He walked into the bathroom, and after a while, water sprinkled all over his body with a touch of warmth. This was the last bath that Zero took in Phoenix. In the days that followed, until he crossed Death Mountain to reach the next base, he didn't want to have such a second time.

For this, he is willing to pay another 2 yuan on the bill.

Any level of clean water flows all over your body, zero closed your eyes, and feels the condition of your body.

In terms of wounds, he has now fully recovered. This can be seen from the fact that after inviting George to drink last night, Zero sneaked into the hospital alone to destroy his related information, and then took the hospital's guards to run around Phoenix for a few laps, but his face was not red and heartbeat.

After fighting with the Fenry wolf evolutionary body and escaping from the killing of the red wolf and the Parkland killer, the evolution points that had been used up by the zero had once again generated as many as six. These six evolution points zero do not plan to invest them in any ability for the time being, UUreading www.uukanshu.com even has to carefully preserve them, lest they automatically transform into other first-order abilities.

The more zero's ability is improved, the more you know that the evolution point that high-level ability needs to invest in will rise geometrically. Although many low-level abilities can be matched to exert effects that are not inferior to high-level abilities, they are only relative rather than absolute. Zero believes that when the level of ability is far enough apart, the strength of the ability is no longer enough to make up for it.

High-level abilities must be overwhelmingly large in number of spikes, but low-level abilities.

And Zero also believes that when he leaves Death Mountain alive, he will have more evolution points in exchange for stronger abilities.

When he finished the shower and walked out of the bathroom. Moni was already awake, packed her clothes, and prepared his tactical uniform for Zero. The tactical uniform worn by Zero was purchased in Fury Reef City, but it has been damaged after repeated battles and can no longer function. For this reason, while buying supplies last night, Zero also bought himself a new tactical suit.

When this camouflage tactical suit was worn on Zero's body, he seemed to have changed back to the soldier who had just awakened from the Z7 base. This tactical suit not only fits the body, but the camouflage on the surface can hide and confuse opponents when moving in the jungle. More importantly, the interlayer of the tactical uniform is embedded with a layer of alloy wire loops. The alloy wire ring not only makes this tactical suit tougher and less susceptible to damage, but also has a certain impact resistance. For this reason, the petty-use tactical suit is 20% more expensive than the ordinary tactical suit.

Guns, ammunition, grenades, food and water... After carefully checking the supplies in the marching rucksack, Ling left the hotel with Moni. The faint golden sunlight in the sky is streaming down, and in this beautiful morning of the old age, they are about to enter the forbidden land of life.

Grim Reaper!
