Chapter 69 - Game

Zero stopped.

He chased for the greater part of the night and finally found the whereabouts of the Dark Council.

The damaged road had traces of an armored car being pressed down. The car turned a corner not far away and drove off the road, heading towards an abandoned city. He would rather sit in a less practical car than stay in a relatively safe armoured car. This meant that the blond youth Zero saw was a person of his own identity. He might even be a noble, and people like this, if it was not necessary, would definitely not travel through the night.

If the other party stayed or rested, that would give Zero a chance to find and rescue Lea.

The Dark Council may be very powerful, but the snipers in the dark night were even more terrifying. The bullets in the darkness would only reveal their ferocious fangs at critical moments. Su Yun believed that after tonight, the people of Dark Council would regain a better understanding of the profession of sniper.

He started the engine and followed the tracks into the darkness of the ruins.

The blue and white flames that were unique to high efficiency and solid combustion illuminated Lea's eyes. In front of her eyes, a field stove that was composed of the top technology in the field of electronics, gold treatment, and machinery displayed a technology that exceeded that of this era. A small alloy pot was placed on top of the stove, which was then filled with Level 4 drinking water. Finally, chunks of fresh frozen beef and ingredients were poured into the pot. Three minutes later, the stewed beef that could only be eaten in the old days appeared in front of Lea's eyes.

Whether it was the small and exquisite Battle Furnace, the Level 4 Drinking Water that did not contain any radioactive substance, or the terrifyingly fresh beef mince, they were all things that Lea would never have thought of normally. But now, a bowl of fragrant beef soup was placed in front of her. As long as she stretched out her hand, she would be able to eat the delicacies that she would never forget in her entire life.

But compared to these, Lea was more curious about who exactly they were.

After being caught by them, Lea knew that the leader of these people was the young man with short golden hair. This person was quite handsome, just like a young noble from the old era. However, the man's dark red robes made Lea feel uncomfortable. Sitting together with him, Lea could smell an extremely strong stench of blood floating in the car.

The equipment of this team was excellent, which Lea had never seen before, and even the Ordinary Soldier was equipped with guns from the new era. All of these firearms were equipped with both lightweight and practical features. The streamlined body of the gun was special. It was not a common type of metal, but more like composite material on an armored car.

As for the young man in the lead, Lea could not even see a single weapon on his body, nor did he have a dagger. However, he gave Lea a feeling that he was much more dangerous than the others. It was as if this young man himself was a moving weapon warehouse.

Not far away, Lea was staring blankly at a bowl of beef soup.

Lea was completely unlike the other women in the wilderness, other than the panic she showed when they just got into the carriage, Lea's expression did not match her age of calmness. She even asked Soren in person what he wanted to capture her for.

Of course Soren would not reply. In his opinion, even speaking to the captive would be a waste of his life.

The young noble knew that this girl also had a protector. It was a mercenary named 'Zero'. He even had the mercenary license given to him by his family. Regarding this mercenary, Soren had seen his information before. There was no doubt that Soren was arrogant and confident, but that did not mean he would be arrogant. Clearly knowing all the information of his opponents who could pose a threat to him, this was what Soren had learnt when he became a Blood Cavalry warrior.

Through the information that Soren could obtain, he found out the result of this battle. Other than killing a butcher on his own in the Silver Tree City two years ago, not long ago Zero killed a large number of rock spider in the Remot. These zeros were not reported, so there was no license in the AI chip. Soren came to this conclusion based on the information provided by Theon and the sudden appearance of the Queen's Eye on the black market of Remot.

Just killing the Spider Queen was enough to raise one's fighting record by one rank. At least, in Soren's opinion, with his performance up till now, he was qualified to be a third ranked mercenary.

And after the analysis of the personality of the information experts in the party about zero, the chances of Zero to catch up to Lea was about 90%. This meant that Soren would face off against an outstanding sniper.

The battle near Hessen Bridge did not escape Soren's eyes, his Tracing Specialist had found Lafite's corpse. Through his judgement of the scene, Soren knew that he had used two bullets to break Lafite's Meta-Su Domain with the same bullet point and also killed this Element Domain Capable who was also at the third stage.

Tracing Specialist had made an assessment of at least stage three sniping skills, even if the record of zero did not contain such an ability.

There were probably even more secrets that had yet to be unearthed from his body. This made Soren very interested in him, and he was also looking forward to seeing that Zero could catch up to him. If possible, Soren wanted to absorb him into his own warriors. A Sniper Specialist of the third step would allow the strength of Soren's team to increase by a level.

As for how he was going to convince Zero, that was not within Soren's consideration. In his opinion, as long as Zero agreed to his request. He could easily have a woman who was a hundred times prettier than Lea, and Soren could also give him a zero-superior living environment. In turbulent times, these two reasons were enough to make even the most stubborn of people become a obedient dog.

Unfortunately, Soren didn't know that Zero was not willing to be anyone's lackey.

To Lea, the team biochemistry expert had already given his answer. Lea's body, indeed, carried the blood of a disorderly person. And now, the cells of the disordered were invading, transforming this girl's genes. This is much more valuable than a simple disorderly blood sample. When Soren reported this information to the Blood Cavalry headquarters, he received an order to bring Lea back alive.

Lea, this living specimen, would be of help to the Dark Council in carrying out more in-depth research on the disorderly.

It was late in the night, and although Soren was not tired, his precise work and rest habits allowed him to slip into his own tent. But just as he laid down, Soren's body suddenly tensed up, this was a signal of danger.

The next moment, a follower screamed. Following that, the sound of a sniper rifle's gunshot reverberated through the empty ruins.

Soren rushed out of the tent, after determining the sniper's position, he increased his agility to that of a Level 2 Warrior.

Being killed in front of his own follower was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Soren. No matter if Zero was willing to join his team in the end, Soren decided to teach this sniper an unforgettable lesson in his entire life.

In the darkness of the night, the game of hunter and prey quietly unfolded. However, only the heavens knew who was the hunter and who was the prey.
