C95 Old city stranger
Zero jumped down from the spire of the house and walked around the block with the Colt on his back.
Only after the Bechymos confirmed that Earth City was complete did it slowly let go of Moni. The vibration earlier had caused Moni to wake up. When she saw zero, she immediately ran to his side.
Zero pulled Moni behind him and looked at the Bechymos thoughtfully.
The gigantic beast remembered zero. In the Bechymos's memories, zero and Campbell were in the same group. However, the Bechymos also knew that Zero Gang had saved him. This was the first human who was willing to lend a helping hand to it, so the Bechymos couldn't find a reason to attack Zero. Thus, the two humans and one beast looked at each other. In the distance, the garrison which had already regained control of the situation began to re-establish order in the city.
This time, due to the surprise attack of the wolf thieves, the Titan City had suffered serious losses. Aside from the central square and the large expanse of buildings and blocks that had been damaged by the fighting in the direction of the hotel, the most serious were the dozens of children taken by the wolf thieves. No matter what age, a child is the future of the world. To Titan City, these children were the future hope of the city.
Titan City was furious. It seemed that they would not let the wolf bandits go this time.
Watching from a distance as the garrison formed a line in the direction of the entrance, Zero finally spoke up. "If you understand our language, you can leave now. Or are you willing to stay by Campbell's side until he sells you to his next master? "
The Bechymos let out a roar, making Zero even more certain that the beast in front of him could understand human language. It was clear that Bechymos had an intelligence that normal Mutated beast did not. If the Southwest Land was as intelligent as he was, then humans would probably not be able to roam the earth like they used to.
Glancing deeply at Moni, the Bechymos called out as if it was saying its goodbyes. Then, the gigantic beast turned around and flew towards the exit. The Bechymos ran into the elevator room and looked at the two deformed alloy doors.
"Let's go back to the hotel. It's all over." Su Yun said while holding Moni's hand.
Titan City had never been so lively before, but this lively scene was caused by a calamity, so this kind of lively scene was not worth being happy about. Other than the upper echelons of the city, the only other person who was currently in a rage was adventurer, Campbell. He had lost the Bechymos for no reason, which made the merchant hate the wolf thief to the bone. However, these bandits were not something that a merchant like him could deal with. Therefore, other than being enraged, Campbell had no other choice.
It looked like it was really over, but in Zero's mind, the red-haired burly man holding the giant hammer would always flash across. He knew that the time between him and the wolf bandits was not going to end so soon.
On the same night when Titan City was in a state of chaos, an unfamiliar traveller appeared in Raging Reef City's Albertong Inn.
He was a black man with white hair, a beard, and a stern face. The passenger carried a sniper rifle with him. This gun was even more rugged than the common Falcon series sniper rifles. The large caliber barrel appeared both terrifying and malevolent. One could imagine that if he were to be hit by this shot, his body would be left with a huge wound that would never heal.
This was Lan Qi's "vulture". It had followed the White-headed Eagle for many years, and countless people or beasts had died under its gun. And this time, another name would be added to the list under the mouth of the vulture.
Zero!
The White-headed Eagle wore a knee-length black windbreaker and a felt hat. He pulled the brim of his hat very low and sat down at the bar as unobtrusively as he could and ordered a glass of whisky. Sitting in the corner, when the bartender pushed the whiskey towards him, Lankey popped out a gold coin.
Gold coins were the mainland's currency that was created and issued by the Parkland's valve. In this turbulent era, other than the Dark Council and a few other large corporate powers that could travel the entire continent, only gold, this kind of hard currency, had the same effect.
A single gold coin like this was equivalent to around two hundred gold coins.
To a bartender like Abela, this was already a considerable amount of income.
Without batting an eyelid, bartender stuffed the gold coin into his pocket and asked softly: "Customer, what kind of service do you need?"
Lan Qi took out a photo from his jacket pocket. On the photo, there was a profile image of zero. He moved the photo closer to the bartender and asked: "I'm looking for a person. I heard that he came to this city, I wonder if you've seen him before."
The black man took out another coin and moved it between his fingers as if nothing had happened. The bartender understood it as a hint. As long as he provided accurate information, he would be able to obtain this additional reward.
He carefully sized up the person in the photo and quickly recognised who he was. "He did indeed stay in Raging Reef City, but I heard that he has already left."
"Where to?"
"I'm not sure, but that person might know." The bar pursed its lips at another guest on the bar five meters away.
That's Viktor, the doctor had coincidentally come to the bar to have fun tonight, but unexpectedly, he bumped into the bane.
Remembering Viktor's look, Lan Qi threw the gold coin into bartender's pocket and said: "Give me a bottle of whisky, no water."
bartender nodded his head and quickly went down.
Lan Qi drank just like that, and stayed in the tavern as he silently watched Viktor. When the doctor stood up to leave, the White-headed Eagle also stood up and quietly walked behind Viktor.
Viktor was a little drunk, but that didn't stop him from having a black man following him. The strange face alerted the doctor. He deliberately turned into an alley and gently took out his pistol.
The moment a shadow appeared from around the corner, Viktor raised his gun and pointed it at her.
Just as he was about to say "Don't move", the other party's reaction was far above his. A rough palm grabbed Viktor's wrist, releasing a huge force that made the doctor unable to keep his arm level. Seeing the gun pointed at the space between his eyebrows, Viktor immediately sobered up.
"Put down the gun? Or do you want to reward yourself with a bullet? "
Lan Qi pressed his finger on the trigger of his gun at the same time. As long as he pressed down hard, Raging Reef City would find Viktor's body that committed suicide tomorrow. The doctor didn't want to become news, so he let go of the gun and let it fall to the ground.
"Who are you?"
Just as Viktor asked his first question, the black man suddenly pushed his head against the wall and knocked. The White-headed Eagle was very confident in its own strength. Although it wouldn't kill Viktor with this strike, it would make him bleed on the head. Sure enough, Viktor's forehead immediately bloomed. Before he could scold her, he was pulled over by the black man. He then received another powerful knee strike from his stomach.
Viktor felt as if the organs and intestines in his stomach were tangled together. For a long while, he was unable to say a word, but his face was pale white and he fell on the ground like a prawn.
Lan Qi calmly squatted down, with one hand pressing onto Viktor's right index finger, and the other taking out a zero photo. He coldly asked: "Where did he go?"
"I don't know him!" Viktor's twisted face revealed a forced smile, and in the next moment, the smile turned into a miserable scream.
Lan Qi mercilessly crushed the doctor's fingers, causing Viktor's index finger to rest on the back of his hand. His fingers were linked to his heart, and the intense pain almost caused him to faint.
