War Lord

Chapter 269: Extinction (1)

It was middle-aged after returning to Asgart four days later. After bumps along the way, the Zero class finally returned to the heavenly city of the kingdom of God. After the four of them went to Doomhammer’s military plane to report and cancel their leave, Ling bid farewell to the few people temporarily and drove alone to a clearing in the western suburbs of the city. There is an abandoned factory building, a small power station in disrepair and two working dormitories on this open space.

This was originally one of the many food processing plants in Asgart, owned by the businessman Pross. But years ago, Pross was mortgaged to Asgart after he was unable to repay the large debt. Because there is no reason to find a suitable takeover, the factory has been vacant until now. After learning that Lingzheng was looking for an experimental site, under Ben's instruction, this factory was leased to Lingzi at a very low price, and the necessary equipment and related personnel were purchased for it.

At present, the factory can be put into use after a simple transformation. Personnel and equipment were also in place one after another. When Zero arrived, the last truck carrying equipment was about to leave. Zero car parked at the gate of the factory, just in time to see Victor directing the staff to assemble the instrument. The radiant appearance of the doctor is very different from the drunkard's appearance when Zero first saw him.

"Move the culture tank over, gentlemen, please handle it with care."

"Damn it, why is there no electricity? Electrician, turn on the electricity, all the instruments must be tested for the first time!"

Victor ripped his throat and yelled in the big factory. The content of the factory has been initially remodeled, and working areas such as cultivation areas, offices, computer rooms, and disinfection areas have been established. However, cables of various colors can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the staff should be careful not to trip over these things while walking. Although messy, it makes people feel busy and angry.

In addition to assisting Victor's technicians, Asgart also specially deployed a six-man team of escorts for the laboratory. They are drawn from the city’s public security system, but no matter what the security guards, technicians, or equipment require every month, they have to pay for them at zero. Therefore, seeing this busy laboratory, there is no sense of starting a career, and at the same time I understand that the burden on my shoulders has been heavier.

In this way, he was thankful that he took the time to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although it will take at least three months for Parkland’s financial dividends to be remitted to the first capital, everything has finally started off. It's just that there are still a lot of things to do in these three months. In addition to paying for the expenses required for the plan, a general account for foreign exchange funds must also be opened for collection.

In addition to developing domestic demand, Asgart also has economic contacts with other cities in the wilderness. To this end, Asgartri provides banking services. Therefore, the general account is not difficult to handle, and the problem of income is the problem of zero headache. Except for the lease of the venue, the deposit of equipment, materials and the first quarter salary of the staff, the remaining money of the loan issued by the firm is not much.

Even if Parkland's first dividend is received three months later, it will not be enough to support the mid- and late-stage needs of the plan. Therefore, Zero is now very poor and short of money.

As he quickly analyzed the status quo, Victor finally discovered his arrival. The doctor yelled his name, making Ling feel better. Victor strode up and gave him a firm hug.

"Unexpectedly there is such a city in the world, my God, it's like a paradise here." Victor said excitedly.

As Ling and the others left Fury Reef City for the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ling applied to Asgart for a temporary residency right to Victor. Because Ben had already said hello, the application was passed quickly, and on the third day someone from Asgart came to pick up the doctor and leave. When he arrived in Asgart, the city of the kingdom of God, Victor was more shocked than nothing at the time.

Zero can understand his feelings. In Asgartri, people are like going back to the old days. The environment that this city strives to manage is something other cities do not have. Victor liked it at a glance, but in fact, very few people will leave after coming to Asgart, and Victor is no exception. In this regard, Zero said that he could find a way to get Victor the right to permanent residence.

Hearing Zero's words, Victor was very happy, and hoped that the ashes of his wife could be moved over after settling down, so that she could rest in this paradise. The doctor's request is trivial, and there is naturally no reason for zero to refuse. In fact, Zero also considered letting Victor stay in Asgartri for a long time before that. In addition to the rebirth plan, Victor can also become the team's personal doctor.

After the plan is completed, this laboratory can be kept. The Zero Decision makes Victor the director of this laboratory. The laboratory can be used to research and manufacture drugs in the future. If Zero can obtain more resources, it can even research and produce genetic medicine. Originally, Zero was worried that Victor would not like to live here and would leave once the plan was successful. Now the problem is solved.

Next, Victor took the zero to briefly visit the remodeled laboratory. When he came to the cultivation area, Zero saw that the cultivation tank had been set up and it was being disinfected and cleaned. This is the core area of ​​the entire laboratory. After Leah's blood is separated and released various genetic information, it is then combined to output, and finally it will be reborn in the culture tank.

The cloning technology in the new era is already very advanced. As long as the genetic samples are kept, a clone that is not different from the original can be constructed. And the biochemical technology of the Hall of Valor and the Dark Council can even clone the capable ones. There is no difference in personality, physique, or ability of cloned abilities, so they are regarded as another way of immortality.

It's just that this kind of highest-level cloning technology is costly, so only those who are at the mastermind level are qualified to keep their own genetic backups for emergencies.

Zero is naturally unable to perform the highest level of cloning technology in this laboratory, but it is still possible to clone an ordinary girl like Leah.

He gently stroked the cold incubation tank isolation cover, and said in his heart: Leah, you will wake up soon.

"Remove your hand from the cover!"

Unexpectedly, a loud cry rang out behind Ling, and the voice was quite familiar. When she turned her head, she saw Eva in work clothes. This dangerous woman was biting a ballpoint pen and holding a folder in her hand. She walked in quickly and slapped zero hands away and said, "You layman, don't delay our work. Please leave if you are okay."

Eva blasted Zero-sum Victor out of the cultivation area very strongly, and after sweeping the two out of the area entrance, she loudly ordered the staff to adjust various instruments. That imposing appearance is as if the training area is her home court.

"This Miss Eva said it was your friend, and I talked to her, her knowledge in biochemical technology is really extraordinary, and there are many ideas I have never thought of. So I invited her to join, she... …" Victor asked, looking at zero.

"She is indeed my friend."

Zero's affirmative answer made Victor nod in relief, but he didn't see the wry smile on Zero's face. Eva is indeed his friend, but is classified as troublesome by Zero, and is the highest level of trouble.

When leaving the laboratory, Asgart's holographic panel had already reflected the red glow of the sky in the evening. After Zero and Victor bid farewell, he drove away. The rebirth plan has been carried out step by step, and all that needs to be done now is to make money. In the rearview mirror, there was only a fuzzy shadow left in the simulated sunset in the laboratory, but that place was where there was zero hope.

What Zero doesn't know is that this small laboratory is the prototype of the science and technology institute responsible for biochemical research in his future territory of the kingdom!

When lying on the bed in Zero's dormitory, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Zero was wearing plain white pajamas, lying flat in a relaxed posture. The so-called relaxation is to allow 70% of the body's senses to enter a state of rest to make up for the loss caused by long-term tension. This kind of relaxation is a very extravagant thing for Zero. Recalling the days of living in the wilderness, even in a safe base, Zero’s body is resting, but his senses are still at work to monitor sudden dangers.

While resting, he closed his eyes and silently calculated the evolution points he had gained during this period of time. The data flowed through like flowing water, and the remaining senses continued to work, and then quickly reported a number for him: 51.

The 51 evolution points are the results that Zero has accumulated in the battle since the promotion to the present. Among them, the higher order kills Gunabell, the sixth-order ability person, and it brings a total of 13 evolution points!

You must know that Zero has killed so many alien creatures under the military base of Cossacks to get 20 evolution points, and in Parkland Territory, the ability to take away Salton's life with a single shot, but also brought him 4 From the evolution point, we can see how rich the benefits of killing enemies with higher levels are. However, profit is often accompanied by risk. If it is not necessary, Zero does not want to do it again.

After all, evolution points can be obtained in almost infinite ways. However, there is only one life for zero.

In my mind, the evolution points are zero-invested to strengthen their own abilities one by one. Each enhancement of the advancement ability requires different evolution points, and 4 evolution points are required to upgrade from the first to the second. And every time you advance, it doubles directly, and it's not as cheap as improving basic abilities.

The 51 evolution points seem to be quite a lot, but when all of the four advancement abilities of the Zero Institute have been upgraded to the second level, he only has 7 evolution points left. This is because he had already upgraded the "Hurry Shot" to Tier 2, otherwise there would be even fewer evolution points left.

But in any case, the improvement of ability brings direct benefits to zero. For example, the limit of multiple shots has been increased from the original 3 to 4, and the spirit mark has also been expanded from 300 meters to 500 meters. The extent of improvement seems to be absent, but in actual combat, even the smallest improvement often plays a decisive role.

And when Ling has promoted all his abilities to rank fourth, he then ushered in the evolution node that Valkyrie said. At that time, without the help of a debugging machine, Zero Gene will also deduce high-level occupations and corresponding abilities in accordance with the planned sequence.

Zero’s current profession is the popular shooter, and according to the evolutionary tree information, when he meets the prerequisites for evolution, he can evolve the high-level profession of Shadow Wanderer. On the basis of strengthening the characteristics of the popular shooter, the shadow wanderer evolved into a high-level occupation with a certain amount of space stealth and hiding ability. That is a qualitative leap, and zero expectations.

But now, what zero needs to do is rest. Then enter the headquarters the next morning to receive tasks, get paid and strengthen yourself through battle. There are no shortcuts to the path of evolution, there are just enough potential talents and necessary efforts.

Sleep, a way of rest, is already a pronoun of low-level life for the capable. For ordinary people, sleep can make up for a day's mental and energy consumption. But for the capable person, there are many ways to supplement energy. When the energy reaches a certain level, the capable person can stay awake for several days until the energy level drops, and then rest, which is a low-level method, will restore the body's energy.

But this kind of recovery method is very simple and slow, even if it is a low-level ability person, sleep for seven hours, the energy recovered is not 20% of the total energy. For those with high-level abilities, the energy that can be restored from sleep is even lower.

However, for Zero, sleep is more of a habit, and it is also a means for Zero to still feel like a human. Although from another point of view, the capable person has been out of the category of human beings.

Sleeping time can be long or short. When consciousness is wrapped in darkness, time loses its meaning. But before going to bed, Zero set his own biological clock to sleep for seven hours, so when the biological clock counted down to 0, he opened his eyes and saw the dim sky outside the window.

Zero stretched out on the bed. This was originally an action to help her body wake up. But now, this action is more meaningful than actual effect to zero. At the same time he woke up, the nerve center had sent out massive amounts of data to convey to the various nerve endings of the body. After less than 1 second of synchronization and coordination, Zero's body had entered the optimal state of activity, completely without the assistance of other actions.

It's just that Zero really enjoys this action, after all, this action can only be enjoyed by ordinary people.

He jumped out of the bed, and after a simple grooming, he put on a brand new uniform that had already been made. When this Doomhammer's standard uniform was put on, a handsome and tall figure was reflected in the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Against this black uniform, the zero in the mirror and the golden light in his right eye are even more dazzling.

It's just that Zero didn't like being too special, so he opened the drawer and put on the blindfold that he had prepared for him in the morning to cover up that special eye pupil.

After doing all this, Zero left the dormitory. And his destination is the headquarters office building.

At eight o'clock in the morning, when Linghefeng came to the headquarters office building, the building had just opened. In the task hall on the first floor, the electronic board began to work, and the tasks were announced one by one on the electronic board to facilitate screening.

The headquarters office building in Asgart replaced the common union hall in the wilderness city. Here you can register for the adventurer squad, accept missions and complete delivery tasks, and so on. On the third floor or above, it is an office area that ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Asgartri, the adventurer squad registered with the headquarters is not only composed of soldiers from the military system, but also partly composed of capable civilians. It's just that this part of the capable people, regardless of their literacy or strength, can't be compared with the squad from the military system, especially the Doomhammer, which is originally formed in the form of a squad, is a frequent visitor to the headquarters building.

Among the five legions, the soldiers of Doomhammer have a higher degree of freedom. During the non-war period, soldiers do not need to receive regular training, but can freely take over tasks in the headquarters. Freedom is the privilege of every member of the warrior level. The higher the rank, the greater the degree of freedom.

Zero and Feng came to the headquarters early in the morning, naturally to take over the task and make money. Just because there is no mission record, the team's rating is currently the lowest e-level, so the tasks that meet the viewing conditions are low-difficulty and low-income tasks, and the two people are lacking in interest. Just when the two were planning to take over all the e-level tasks, an office worker in uniform appeared in front of them.

"Two gentlemen, who of you is Zero?" This is a beautiful woman with long golden hair. Her long hair was pulled together to create a dignified hairstyle. And even in the rigid uniform field, the ground does not prevent her from attracting the fiery eyes of male creatures with her majestic peaks and protruding buttocks.

Hearing that he was named by someone, he took a step forward and showed his identity. The woman's expression did not change, she just said faintly: "Please come with me, Chief Cario is waiting for you in the strategy room."

Hearing Cario, Zero's eyes lit up. But at the same time he was very puzzled as to how Cario, the recruit instructor, would appear in the headquarters.

Leaving Feng in the lobby, Ling followed the office girl all the way into the elevator dedicated to the building staff~lightnovelpub.net~ The elevator can accommodate fifteen people at the same time, but now there are only two of them. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the office girl stood straight in front of Zero. Moreover, she was standing relatively close, and her height was not lower than that of Zero. When she stood like this, her straight buttocks always touched Zero's body intentionally or unintentionally.

When the elevator doors opened, the brief "harassment" ended temporarily. The girl led Ling to the door of an office, but when she left, she whispered to Ling, "I'm free tonight."

Even stupid people can hear the meaning of this sentence, and of course Zero also understands. In fact, the Doomhammer uniform on him is already a status symbol. The warrior class is already in the middle and lower reaches of the power class in Asgart. If an ordinary woman can hook up with the zero status The man of, it is no different that he has found a better home for himself. Especially Zero is still so young, so it fully meets the requirements and image of a husband in a woman's mind.

Ling smiled, but didn't take this easy-to-follow affair to heart. Compared with this encounter, Zero believes that Maple is more interested.

He pushed open the oak door of the office and saw Cario standing by the window with his back facing him. Hearing the sound of opening the door, Cario turned around, and a smile cracked on his cigar's face and said: "You are here, a bit slower than I expected. It seems that the little golden cat doesn't want to let it go. you."
