C81 Delegates
In the evening, the radiation cloud was illuminated by the light of the sky that was like fire until it looked like a fire cloud. It stretched for a thousand miles, and let the world on the ground be shrouded in a layer of red light. The ground was still warm from the day's heat, and every stone gave off an astonishing heat. At night, however, they become colder than polar ice.
This was the world of the new era. The temperature differed greatly between day and night, testing the living beings' ability to survive at all times.
He had used bandages to wrap the tactical suit's arms, which had been strangled by the energy. He did not want anyone to see those two arms, which were like white jade. This made him seem a little too abnormal in this era where mutations were everywhere. He brought the wild flowers from the wilderness and arrived at the Raging Reef City's cemetery.
Although it was just a common wild flower, even after these things left the soil, the roots were still slowly wiggling. They tried to extend their young roots, to prick into the zero body, to absorb blood for nourishment. However, every time they came into contact with the watch, the roots would shrink back as if they had been electrocuted. Not long after that, they continued with their previous actions.
It was a mutated creature that was as deep as the sea and a mutated plant that was as small as the wilderness. In this world, all species, including humans, were desperately evolving in order to gain the right to live. Whenever he saw such tenacious wildflowers in the wilderness, Zero always felt an inexplicable fear. In turbulent times, would humans still be the long term for all living things?
That's not necessarily true, is it?
The cemetery was as silent as a ghost, with dozens or more of tombstones lining the gray landscape. Although it was called a tombstone, it was actually just a piece of wooden board half a meter tall and as wide as a palm. On the wooden board, the name of the Undead was carved simply. There were still many pictures of the luxurious tombstones of the old era, which only the noble families could enjoy.
As for the commoners, in an era where resources were so scarce, using a wooden board was already extravagant.
Leah's body had already been cremated, and his ashes were buried in the Raging Reef City's cemetery. However, there was no name on Leah's tombstone. It was only the capital letter "L" with Leah's name carved on it symbolically. If she was unable to be reborn after three years, her full name would only appear on this tombstone.
The wild flowers were placed in front of the grave. This was the second woman who had laid flowers in front of the grave. Su Ling thought of Rita, the woman who made Su Ming feel that he was so powerless when facing his fate for the first time. Su Ling didn't want to repeat Leah's tragedy again. Viktor gave him a glimmer of hope. Even though that hope was extremely slim, it was still better than despair, right?
"Are you ready to leave?"
Viktor's voice came from behind him. The doctor had brought out two crosses from nowhere. One was placed in front of Leah's grave, while the other belonged to his wife, Kailin. The doctor smiled at Zero. "God will bless them."
"Thank you." Zero said sincerely. He then said, "I will leave tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
For the past two months, had been staying at Viktor's house to eat and drink. In addition, Viktor would check his body every day to make sure that his genes were stable. He remembered this favor in his heart.
Viktor waved his hand: "There's no need to be so courteous, you've also helped me quite a bit."
He looked at Kailin's tombstone in silence. Su Yun quietly retreated, not disturbing Viktor and his wife.
Zero came to the tavern in Raging Reef City and started his journey. He asked Maester to get a batch of ammunition for him. This includes the M500's customized warheads, and tonight is the time to pick up the cargo. The tavern was as lively as ever, the area near the dance floor still having the most people. However, having been in the Raging Reef City for the past two months, most of the people who went in and out of the tavern had already recognised zero.
Even if they were far from friendly, at least they would nod at each other when they met. But once Zero leaves, it won't be long before they forget about him. The people of the new era were very forgetful. Every day, there would be people who would die today. This allowed them to not have to bear too much grief.
Masters occupied a corner of the bar. Where he was, it was always quiet. Zero walked over and sat down next to Masters. Without a word, Masters pushed the bottle of wine over and said, "Old times whisky, something you couldn't drink with money. "This is a treasure of my personal collection. I'll treat you to a drink tonight and take it as a farewell visit.
Zero did not hold back and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing how he drank so much, Maester's face revealed a pained expression. He took a long drag on his cigar, as if regretting that he had given up the fine wine to zero. The snake snapped its fingers and a moment later, someone walked over with a travel bag. Maester picked up the bag and threw it in front of Zero.
"Order." 50 warheads, 500 rounds. Sniper Bullet 600 rounds, 300 rounds of armor piercing bullets and 2000 rounds of standardized bullets. The microcomputer that came with the gift rushed up to give them the 20 fragment grenade s, and you can order them. " Maester said as he pointed to the bag full of ammunition.
"No need, how much is this?" Zero asked.
Maester laughed, patted Ling Su's shoulder and said while shaking his head: "No need, these are my personal little gifts to you."
With a cold tone, he said, "You and I aren't friends yet."
His meaning was very clear, Zero only accepted gifts from friends, like Viktor. As for Maester, Zero felt that it would be better to maintain the character of the trader.
"Don't say that, man." Maester threw a cigar at Lingyi, and said in a low voice: "Listen, I know you're going to do a big business deal. In the future, this kind of business deal would also be numerous, at least 8 million yuan. God, that's the biggest ambition I've ever heard of. But zero, do you really know how to make money? "In other words, how can we maximize the benefits?"
Su Yun looked at Maester silently. He did not object, showing that he was willing to listen. After knowing Zero for a while, Maester had a little bit of a temper. The local tyrant continued to speak, "Listen to me brother, in this shitty era, the best way to get money is through war. Like the Dark Council, where do you think they go? The Southwest Land, the Da Xia Kingdom of the East Continent, the mythological kingdom of the West Continent, and even the Asmox who had been on a expedition to the polar regions. It's war, the blood rider fought on all sides to snatch the resources, they were earning a lot of money. "
Maester drank his wine excitedly: "Of course, we can't compare with these big shots. But for people like you, who want to find the downfall of a great corporate power, here I will presume that you will successfully beat up Parkland. And then? They'll give you money, that's for sure, but believe me, it won't be much. To maintain the operations of a chauffeur, they would not have so much cash, even at their base camp, and so much money to invest in the operations of various projects and bases. Then what did you get? It's probably only a few hundred thousand dollars in cash. Of course, you could force them to hand over their resources, including weapons, potions, mining and even bases. But can you turn these things into money? "
Su Yun started to understand Maester's intention. "You mean that when I obtain these things, you will be able to handle it?"
Using his strength to pat Ling Yun's shoulder, Maester nodded and said: "That's right, fellow. Let me be your agent. You can give me what you have, and I will turn it into money. Of course, I would charge a certain fee. But at the same time, I will provide you with some information free of charge. I think a Parkland will not satisfy you. And on my hand, I have more information about the chauffeur. It's a mutual benefit, man, and you'll find me an excellent agent. "
