Those slender legs seemed to pierce through the water surface, causing ripples in the air. When the tip of the leg reached its limit, countless ripples gathered and formed a ring-shaped shockwave the size of a round table!
With a weng sound, the air howled and the wave formed caused Hedwig's short hair to be pushed back. Beads of sweat flowed down like sparkling stars under the sunlight, like dancing stardust, reflecting Hedwig's unparalleled beauty under the starlight.
After completing his last kick, Hedwig rested his knees with both hands and gasped for breath with his mouth wide open. Ignoring his image, he suddenly changed from the peerless Valkyrie to a young and immature child.
Johnny laughed, "Not bad, not bad. In the past, I spent a total of ten days practicing this technique. "
"Don't underestimate this move. The Air Wing Strike is a basic leg technique. However, it pays attention to the coordination between physical body and energy, and is also the foundation of high-grade leg techniques. Johnny replied.
"Then when will teacher teach me high level leg techniques?" Hedwig clenched her small hands into fists and said excitedly.
"It's still too early to wait, brat. Let's first level up strength, defense, and agility to the fourth step before talking about anything else." Only after I advance to a fight master like you, will I be able to experience more powerful techniques and abilities. " Johnny said in a bad mood, and immediately splashed a bucket of cold water on Hedwig.
Hearing that, Hedwig immediately became dejected.
He had just noticed when Feng's voice sounded from the communication device, "Captain, you better come back. Captain Agatha and Berrien are arguing. "
"I know." He stood up and walked back to the base.
In the base's Workspace, the field had already been cleaned up by the servants, becoming a place for the rest of the group to rest tonight. A few tents had already been set up, and the servants had set up their stoves as they fiddled with the fast food. These foods are artificially made fiber foods that are close to beef in both taste and taste, but only close to it, not real beef.
Fast food was one of the supplies Avenot had prepared for them. After all, Nutrient Su was only an emergency food for the soldiers when they were marching, so they would have to eat this three times a day. Although fast food is not really food, they are more nutritious and can taste as good as restaurant food with a simple heating.
Only the soldiers of the Asgard had such benefits, the soldiers of other cities in the wilderness would not have such benefits.
But right now, in the temporary campsite with the smell of meat flowing everywhere, Agatha and Berrien seemed to be arguing about something. By the time Zero reached the two captains, they were silent.
"What's going on?" Zero asked.
Agatha said: "I plan to let Hedwig that child come with us. She is the only survivor, I am worried about leaving her behind. But Captain Berrien strongly opposed it. "
The arrogant man snorted from his nostrils as he looked at Berrien, "Captain Agatha, please do not show us any mercy! The little guy also said that the living corpse and some other humans seem to be working together, aren't they called the guides? Then how are you so sure that Hedwig is not the guide? "
"That's impossible." Agatha denied: "In my interactions with her, I used some small tricks without attracting her attention. There are no suspects in the child's memories that could lead to me! "
"Is this what you mean by basis?" Berrien said in disdain, "Captain Agatha, you are no longer a child. Could it be that you don't understand how vast the world of abilities is? Even I know that there is an ability in the perceptual domain called 'memory erasure', which can clear out certain memory regions. How do you know if that kid was also used? Through her, you brought us to the traps the living corpse s prepared long ago? "
"If you say it like that, then we shouldn't even go to the Eye of Flame. Is that so, the wise and farsighted Captain Berrien? " Agatha retorted.
Berrien still wanted to say something, but Zero reached out his hand to stop the two captains from arguing, "Alright, there's no point in arguing like this."
He looked at Berrien and said, "I believe in Captain Agatha's judgement, that child doesn't seem to be close to us."
Without waiting for Berrien to flare up, Zero told Agatha, "But at the same time, Captain Berrien's concerns are also correct. Therefore, I think that we must go to the Eye of Flame, but Hedwig will let her stay in the base for the time being. We'll leave her with two slave warriors and some supplies. We'll take her away when the mission is over. "
Zero's method could be considered as a compromise, so Agatha and Berrien could only retreat one step each. The two captains shut their mouths and didn't say anything, agreeing to Zero's decision. Thus, everything was settled. When Zero told Hedwig about this, Hedwig showed that she was sensible and said that she did not need to leave any servants behind, she could take care of herself.
On the second day, after leaving behind sufficient supplies and weapons, the convoy of zeros set off. They left Z7, returned to the coast road and headed south, then turned west along the road. The road ran for about three hundred kilometers until it reached an abandoned mine.
This was the end of the southern end of the coastline road. After passing the mines, they would head west to the bumpy wilderness. The Twin Towers were like doors to the west, lying across the horizon of the wilderness. The tallest mountain on the north side of the mountain range even entered the radiation cloud layer. Looking at this mountain range, Zero knew that their next route would be extremely difficult.
Five days later, a row of zeroes appeared halfway up the other side of the mountain. The off-road vehicles and light bikes couldn't cross the Twin Towers, so they were left at the eastern foot of the mountain. They crossed the Twin Towers on foot. In some places they even had to climb with their bare hands, and they lost a slave soldier for that. The unlucky fellow had grabbed a loose rock and dropped it with him down the mountain. Now there was probably nothing left of him.
Only those who were familiar with the Twin Towers knew how to safely cross the mountain. Unfortunately, they didn't know and didn't have a guide, so they had to pay a price.
They chose a relatively flat mountainside platform as a temporary resting place. Zero was currently standing at the edge of the platform, while there was a six hundred meter long sloping mountain wall below. The southern end of the Twin Towers moved at a high and low angle across the earth, as if a dragon's long tail was quietly sticking to the ground, forming a valley.
The valley on the western side of the Twin Towers was barren, and only black sand covered an area of several thousand square kilometers. Within the black sand, there were streams of magma with varying widths. The magma emitted a shocking high temperature, causing white steam to rise up from the valley, causing the entire view of the valley to distort.
However, this did not prevent Zero from seeing a town in the northwest of the valley. The town was located above an irregular area of grayish rocks, which was the only geographical structure in the valley that was not a sandy area. The town was built on top of it, so it wasn't big in terms of area, and the resident population couldn't be more than a thousand people. However, there was industry in the towns, and a dozen or so towers were distributed around the towns. There were chain-link machines constantly rotating, bringing up the hot streams in the magma rivers, and it was unknown where they were used for.
"Energy purification, this is an industry unique to the Eye of Flame." Agatha walked to the side of Zero, and a simple sentence revealed her vast knowledge: "This magma field contained an extremely rich amount of energy. In the beginning, this was only a small refinery, but after 10 years of development, it finally produced the current Eye of Raging Flames. The energy extracted from the magma produced special heat batteries, which had ten times the capacity of ordinary batteries. So when it first came out, thermal batteries were sought after by many al-Qaeda. But with the appearance of high-ene
rgy battery, the energy produced by nuclear fusion with trace amount of uranium is a hundred times more than that of ordinary battery, so the radiation in high-energy battery can not leak out after being tightly packaged. In the past ten years, almost no one has bought a thermal battery, which has made the existence of the Flame's Eye unknown. "
Su Xin Xin said: "Captain Agatha, I admire your profound knowledge."
"If Captain Zero has the time to kiss ass to me, why don't you think about the reaction a closed town would make when it suddenly sees the large group of us." Agatha smiled.
"No, they will only see me alone." Zero retorted, "A wandering mercenary is always a bit more low-key than an armed team."
"Then you have to be careful. I don't think people who can survive in such a harsh environment have a docile character." Agatha warned.
Zero nodded to show he understood. Therefore, half an hour later, he put on a cape and put the giant sniper rifle that was wrapped in cloth on his back, walking down the mountain.
It was already noon.
Allen yawned, and got up from the bed sleepily. He pushed aside the naked woman beside him, thought for a moment, and then grabbed her full chest. The woman let out a moan in her sleep, which undoubtedly gave Allen a signal. Therefore, Allen simply flipped the woman over, lifted up the huge object and ruthlessly smashed it into the woman's body.
The woman woke up with a start and let out a shriek. The screams came from afar, but now the town was silent. No one questioned the shriek of a woman.
Due to the special environment of the Flame's Eye, the temperature during the day was exceptionally high. Even in winter, it was much warmer than in other places, so there was almost no activity during the day. The liveliness of the town was manifested at night. When the sun set and night fell, the Eye of Raging Flames would truly awaken.
After a day of slumber, people have limitless energy. Apart from work, they rely on alcohol, women or men to unleash their energy.
Take Camber for example, he was the owner of the Raging Flames bar in the city, sleeping with different women almost every night. Sometimes it was one, sometimes it was a few, but Allen couldn't remember how many women he had slept with.
Allen was rich, he even had food, so many women were willing to sleep with him. Some men would even send their slightly beautiful wives to Camber's bed in exchange for an opportunity to work or food that would last for a few days.
In troubled times, the need for food was far greater for people living on the line of well-being than for spirit and morality. A man wouldn't mind his wife accompanying other women, and a woman wouldn't mind if he pressed on her body whether he was her husband or not. As long as he had enough money, he could sell anything.
Allen just woke up, full of energy. He kept on rushing down the black forest until the forest was flowing. Allen roared and suddenly reached the deepest part of the forest, upon coming in contact with the source of his happiness, his entire body immediately trembled. When the woman screamed and grabbed Allen, he, who had reached her peak, gradually relaxed.
As he stepped out of the woman's body, she let out another cry. There was some pain, but more of it was emptiness.
"Scoundrel." Allen shouted and jumped off the bed. He then opened up the storage shelf in his room, picked out a few cans of food that were still considered fresh and two bottles of water, and threw them towards the woman on the bed. "Here, this is what you deserve."
The lady was so happy that she kept the food and smiled coquettishly at Allen: "Do you still need food tonight, sir?"
Allen looked at his pride, saying, "Let's wait and see. "But I heard that you have a good daughter. Perhaps, she will be paid more."
The woman said with a face full of smiles, "Indeed, she is already 15 years old. She will definitely make you feel very comfortable. Or, let us accompany you at night. "
"Deal." Allen snapped his fingers, and the deal was settled. He changed into his clothes, washed himself briefly, and left the room. It was a dark corridor outside the room, so Allen came to the end of the hallway. He kicked a half-closed wooden door, and roared: "Bastards, quickly get up! It's time to work. You only have 10 minutes to eat. After you finish eating, scram to work! "
Once Allen finished, the entire room was in chaos. Allen left satisfied. He made himself a few pieces of fragrant bacon from the kitchen and drank the remaining half bottle of red wine. This was his lunch. Allen took his food and arrived at the great hall of the tavern, then placed it on the bar counter and started to chew.
As soon as he threw the last piece of meat into his mouth, the tavern's door was knocked noisily.
"Damn it, who is it? We haven't started yet. " Although he said that, Allen still walked over and opened the door.
A warm breeze blew inside, causing Allen's hair to stand on end. There was a traveler standing outside the door, his entire body was wrapped in a cap made of cape s. The traveler carried a spear on his back. Although the spear was wrapped tightly with cloth strips, it was not hard for Allen to determine that it was a sniper rifle from its shape. Because it was too huge and crude, Allen could tell that it was not an ordinary machine gun.
But even if it was a sniper rifle, this gun was much bigger than what Allen had seen before.
Allen's common sense told him that a person who could carry such a huge fellow and run around everywhere was definitely not a simple person!
Chapter 305 - Fall (I)
While Allen was still in a daze, the guest outside had already taken a step forward. This step was very ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary. But just with this step, Allen was able to see the face inside the cape's hat. This face was very handsome, and even though it was somewhat cold, the lines were clear, as if it was a marble portrait carved by a master, unforgettable.
What was even more peculiar was that this man had eyes of different colors. The left eye had pupils as black as ink, and the right eye was burning with golden flames, dazzling Allen to the point that he felt slightly dizzy.
When the man took this step, the tip of their noses were almost touching. Staring at that dreamlike eye, Allen saw his own figure inside. His own shadow appeared in that golden flame, like a city on fire, and no matter what he did, he could not escape. A fear that came from the depths of his heart suddenly filled Allen's heart, his expression became extremely ugly, and he was even unable to breathe.
"Do you have any wine?"
was only able to breathe in the stale air with his mouth wide open when the cold voice of the traveler rang out, as if he was a person surfacing from the water.
Because the suction force was too fast and quick, Allen could not help but cough, and retreated a few steps, almost knocking into a row of tables and chairs behind him before stopping. After a moment, Allen who had recovered his breath said immediately: "Yes, we have the most explosive chili wine here."
Then, Allen shouted to the back: Pater, where did you die! Take out the Raging Flames Volcano for me!
A moment later, messy footsteps echoed in the hall. A boy of fourteen or fifteen came running out in patched clothes, holding a bottle of water. The bottle was a striking fiery red color. The '87%' word on the bottle reminded the customer of the strength of the wine.
However, the Raging Flame Volcano that was soaked in Allen's secret technique had a intensity that ordinary cocktails couldn't match. It was extremely suitable for the taste of the men in the city, and was therefore quite popular.
The traveler chose a seat in the corner and ordered some other food, then ate in silence. The crude big gun that made Allen's heart race was placed on the table, and the row of bullets, including the magazine s, were all useless. Using bullets to pay for food was not a rare occurrence for Allen. In fact, there was no one carrying bags of money running around the world. Furthermore, due to the differences between the different regions, the money circulating in other places might not be useful here.
After all, the so-called mainland currency was more suitable for cities near t
he coastline. As for inland towns like the Eye of Flame, bullets and metals were rather popular.
Allen was not in a hurry to collect the money. Other than the fact that the food brought out by the guest was enough for him to eat five times more similar food, it was also because the guest ate extremely slowly. The traveler had taken off his hat, revealing his black hair, which was obviously of Asian descent. He did not eat fast. Whether it was food or wine, he ate little sips. This meant that he was not in a hurry, and those who were willing to stay longer, Allen believed that they would need more services.
Like a woman.
Zero really didn't eat it fast. The total energy of the food in front of him was not enough to nourish Su, so that bottle of wine was not bad. The alcohol content of Raging Flames Volcano was quite high. These could be converted into energy directly from zero. However, whether it was food or wine, he had to slowly eat them in order to fully absorb the energy contained within them.
But that was only one of the reasons. The other, more important reason was that he had come to ask for information.
No matter where it was, the tavern was the best place to get information. But Zero came a little early, so he was in no hurry to leave. After he finished all the food and wine, he put his feet on the table and closed his eyes while holding the giant sniper rifle. His body was resting, but his brain was still working.
The Eye of Flame was indeed just a small town, but it was soon completely surrounded by everything that was within a kilometer squared. Now, the three-dimensional map of the Eye of Flame appeared in Zero's mind, constantly adjusting the angle he needed with his mind. Instinctively, they each indicated a certain location on the current three-dimensional map. They represented a special function. For example, the best place to snipe, the route to escape from the town when in danger, and so on.
Zero did not like fighting battles without preparation, so recording the terrain around him would ensure his safety to a large extent.
