"Yes, she has to leave. But I will go with him! "

Walking on the road that was emitting an astonishingly high temperature, Lea thought of Zero's words.

They had already left Z7 base and were walking towards the Silver Tree City. Originally, Zero didn't need to leave. Lea believed that he would be able to develop his base even more. With his grandfather Jack dead, the Parkland's valve would definitely send new managers over. Furthermore, when all the soldiers were dead, there was a large chance that Zero would take Zog's place and become the base's new head.

However, Zero gave up on its great future and accompanied it into the unknown wilderness.

Lea didn't know where they were going, but when she heard those words from Su Ling, she had already decided to leave her fate in the hands of this man. Heaven or hell, she would not regret it.

The destination of zeros was not heaven nor was it hell. It was a place called Remot.

Before leaving, he had already looked at the map. Three thousand kilometers away from the base, there was the words "Intermediate" clearly written on the sign of the place where Remot lived. An intermediate settlement means having relatively sophisticated living facilities, as well as a weapon platform to defend against enemies. At the same time, it also meant that was the first stop for Zero and Lea. If nothing went wrong, Zero would stay there for a while.

The virus that Lea was infected with was extremely strange, no matter how she thought about it, she could only think of one possibility. The origin of the virus should be Hans. This was something abnormal that Lea had come into contact with in the past ten days. It was just that Zero did not understand that after coming into contact with Hans at the same time, they had become even more "intimate" than Lea. But how could she,, feel that he was completely fine, while Lea was the only one who detected his virus.

But that's not enough. Z7 has no equipment or professional personnel to test and treat viral infections. As an intermediate gathering ground Remot, he might have this kind of resources. At the very least, they should have laboratories capable of detecting viruses. Su Yun decided that no matter what, she had to cure Lea. It was not only because of Old Jack's request before his death, but more importantly, it was because she did not wish for Rita's misfortune to happen again in front of him.

After taking the necessary equipment, dry food and clean water. They set off as soon as the sky brightened, hoping to reach Silver Tree City before dusk.

To Silver Tree City, zero was not unfamiliar. There, he would be able to reach the first stage of strength and defense enhancement. Furthermore, he would be able to obtain an additional evolution point. And recently, after the battle with Hans, the strengthening of Zero's agility had reached the level of a Level 2, moreover, there were two additional evolution points. Due to the lack of potions, the two evolution points remained quietly within his body, without any new abilities.

Right now, with the strength and defense of the first stage, the second stage Agility Strengthening Technique was no longer effective on Silver Tree City. As long as he did not encounter monsters like the butcher, Zero could guarantee Lea's safety in Silver Tree City.

They would rest there, then hurry to the Remot.

The journey was monotonous and boring, Zero was not good with words, but Lea also knew that rather than wasting his strength on meaningless chitchat, it was better to just use them on the journey. As a result, they rarely chatted during the journey, and only rested twice during the journey.

As they were walking along the highway through the canyon, Zero was surprised to hear the sound of an engine. When he looked back, a modified green car had already crashed into them. Zero could see the stunned look on the young driver's face, which made him realize that the driver didn't mean it. So he only threw himself towards Lea, and then, he rolled to the side. He didn't reward the car with bullets after it became safe.

After the thrilling encounter, the car stopped diagonally on the shoulder of the road that led to the cliff face of the canyon. The car door opened and the young driver asked about their situation. Zero pulled Lea and walked towards the car.

"Are you going to the Remot?" Zero asked, after indicating that both of them were uninjured.

This was the outskirts of the Mainland China, the closest residential area was the Remot. But Zero did not think that the car's fuel capacity was enough for them to head to a distant base, so the probability of these people heading to Remot was more than 90%.

As the driver nodded, Zero knew he guessed right. He took out his wallet and said to the driver, "Please take us on a ride. I can pay for it."

He poured out twenty coins, and from the look in the driver's eyes, Zero knew he was tempted.

But at this moment, someone in the car objected. It was a black man.

"We don't meet strangers of unknown origin." The black man shook his head.

Zero frowned. If it was just him, he wouldn't mind going on foot and enjoying the scenery along the way, even though there really wasn't much to see in the wilderness. It was just that he still had Lea with him.

"Don't be like that, Jehan. It's not easy for either of them, especially this young lady. Don't you have any sympathy at all? " The young driver complained as he smiled at Lea. It was obvious that this young man had a good impression of Lea.

The black man snorted and said, "In this day and age, compassion is worth a few dollars. How do you know that they will not harm us? I just want to safely arrive at Remot, I don't want anything to go wrong while we're on the way. "

The driver looked at the other passengers inside the car, they seemed to have the same thought as the black Jehan. No one said a word. The driver had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and say, "Sorry, buddy. I'm afraid you'll have to walk. "

Zero looked at him and put his wallet away.

However, he did not intend to leave. Instead, he charged forward like lightning. He grabbed the black man's neck with his free hand and lifted him up with great force, so that the black man's head was at the top of the car door. The African man howled and was about to counterattack, but the muzzle aimed at his forehead caused the African man's anger to disappear without a trace.

A few men stood up, but when they saw the M500 revolver in Zero's hand that could be called a lethal weapon, none of them dared to step forward to stop him.

"Hehehe, don't get so excited, man. Perhaps, we can discuss this matter. " The driver waved his hand and said anxiously.

Zero said in a cold voice, "There's no need to discuss, just let us go. Or give me the car. "

In times of turmoil, violence might be another way to solve problems if there was no way to communicate with words.

Cold sweat trickled down the back of the black's head.

Anyone who dared to bring a woman wandering in the wilderness was either a brainless or a strong person. From the look of it, Zero didn't look like someone with a screw loose. To be able to lift an 80 kilogram adult male with one hand, the strength was definitely not something that a slender body like zero could possess. In other words, most of the elements that belong to the latter are zero.

Jehan suddenly realised that perhaps he had provoked a fiend.
