Chapter 74 - Sorrow

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

When the sky slowly brightened, Zero was lying on the water tower on the roof of a building. From this direction, he could see Soren's campsite not far away.

The radiating clouds in the firmament seem thinner today, so there is more light on the earth than usual. Even if it was just before six o'clock in the morning, you didn't have to expect the warm breeze of the old days and the good mood, even if the sun began to burn from just a little light, it would push all the good mood to the bottom.

Even the mutated beasts with the highest resistance to radiation did not want to be exposed to the sun for an entire day. As for Zero, who was lying on the water tower, the steel plate of the water tower was shining with sunlight. The high temperature emitted by the steel plate was enough to roast an ordinary person. However, Zero did not seem to have realized it. Even though the tactical suit was dressed in a thin set of clothes, not a single drop of sweat flowed down.

The body's strict allocation of energy automatically lowered the temperature to zero at this moment of high temperature.

After last night's plan was declared bankrupt, Zero had no choice but to observe Soren's group again. He had to reformulate his plan, and find a chance to save Lea. Based on his evaluation of Soren's personality, the arrogant Yun Che would not easily leave this ruin. After all, last night, he had given him a huge slap across the face. People like him would only think of killing those who caught them.

However, finding zeros was not an easy matter, even though Soren himself had a certain amount of scouting ability, but that ability was not enough to find him in the eyes of zero. The only one who had the qualifications was a Tracing Specialist among Soren's followers. Zero did not mind the follower coming after him, that way, he might be able to use the environment to kill off Soren's right-hand man.

However, Zero knew that Soren had another way to find him. Zero only hopes that Soren will not use this method because of his own dignity.

However, Zero seemed to have overestimated Soren's dignity. Thus, when he saw Lea being brought out of the camp, her face was exceptionally pale.

As expected, he still used this method. It was simple, but effective. But that was the last thing Zero wanted to see.

"Zero!"

In the morning, Soren's voice had a strong penetrating power. There was no doubt that within a kilometer at least, as long as they weren't deaf, they would be heard. And the echo of the empty buildings above the ruins would make the sound travel further.

"I know you're nearby. Listen, I have your woman now. One of my attendants has a dagger on her neck. If you don't want to see her hurt, I advise you to hurry up and come out. You only have one minute, so if you miss this time, you should prepare to collect her corpse. "

After Soren said all these in one breath, he looked around cautiously. Kabu was right next to him. The dagger in his hand was placed horizontally across Lea's neck, and it was less than five centimeters away from the artery. Beside the two of them, there was a team of soldiers under martial law. Judging from the spots of fire around them, there were almost no blind spots at all.

was too close to Lea, and his follower's dagger was like the scythe of the god of death, placed onto Lea's neck. At this distance, Zero could easily shoot through the follower's head, but his last reaction was enough to cut open Lea's white neck. Zero did not dare take the risk. This was a highly targeted plan. Just like how he had analyzed Soren, the other party must have also researched his actions to understand his personality.

The two armies were at a stalemate and would do anything they could to prevent this. Being able to use Soren's self-esteem to almost force him into a corner, the other party was naturally able to use his love for Lea to set up a trap for him.

It's fair.

Zero stood up and stood on top of the water tower. This time, Soren did not realise it yet. As if he had been stung by an ice-cold poisonous snake, Soren reflexively looked in the direction of the water tower.

Their gazes met in midair, causing intense sparks to fly.

One of the firepower hand s of the Soren Camp immediately shot towards the water tower, but his speed was even faster. With a flash, he had already jumped down from the water tower and landed on the roof. At this moment, the water tower turned into a hornet's nest.

"Zero, I never said you could dodge as you please! Or would you prefer to see me cut her throat? " Soren laughed loudly, as though he wanted to take revenge for last night's events, he felt extremely satisfied.

This pleasure of being able to arbitrarily control the life and death of others was exactly what Soren liked and was familiar with.

This feeling had once disappeared because of zero, but now, it had returned!

Su Yun lied prone on the roof. firepower hand was unable to discover and shoot from this position. He raised her head to the sky and said, "You won't be able to kill her. Don't tell me you don't need her anymore."

Lea's mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth. She wanted to say something, but only a wuwu sound came out from her mouth.

Soren spoke out for her: "That's right, she has research value towards us. But we already had three tubes of blood taken from her. And like this, I sent someone to the base last night. Right now, her greatest function for us is to restrain you! "

Zero fell silent.

"If I were you, I would immediately leave this place, because I have no chance of winning." Soren was not anxious either, as though he was a cat toying with a mouse: "After all, he is just a woman, zero. A woman like this, with your potential, wouldn't you be able to get as many as you want in the future? "

"Or maybe I can let her go. As long as you agree to join my team, you'll be a dog under my command! "

Zero still did not appear.

Soren decided to give him a shot: "Zero, if you don't believe me. Let's take a gamble. Now that I have counted to ten, if you don't appear, I will let Kabu kill her. How about it? Do you want to bet this time? "

With that said, Soren began to count. He had barely counted to one when he stood up on the rooftop.

firepower hand raised his spear, but was stopped by Soren. Soren pointed to the ground: "Get down here, I hate people looking down on you."

Without saying anything further, he climbed over the railing and jumped down. Using the protrusion on the exterior wall as a borrowing point, it descended to the ground in a few steps. When Lea saw him walk onto the street that was facing the camp from the corner of the building, he shook his head sadly. She knew that the appearance of a zero choice signified his desire to surrender to Soren.

Soren was also clear on this point. With a smile on his face, it was like a spring breeze. Killing Zero would not make Soren feel as good as humiliating him now. Especially someone who was arrogant and untamed as Zero, who made him feel defeated. Soren was so excited that every cell in his body trembled.

"Do you want me to join your team and let her go?" Zero asked Soren as he looked at him coldly.

Soren nodded.

"Alright, I'll join!" Zero did not hesitate.

Lea's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

She remembered that Zero had said that no matter what, she wouldn't want to be someone else's lackey. Yet now, for her sake, Zero had sacrificed his freedom and dignity without hesitation.

"Very good, zero." Soren squinted his eyes, and said: "However, let's settle our accounts first. You shot me twice last night, right? "I'm a very fair man. As long as you stand still and let me shoot you back twice, this debt will be settled in one stroke."

The color of Lea's face immediately drained. She shook her head with all her might, wanting to reject the offer.

Su Ming's gaze passed Soren and landed on Lea's body. He revealed a gentle smile, and nodded towards Soren.

Soren extended his hand out, and the soldier next to him immediately placed a handful of automatic pistol s into his hand.

Soren opened the safety lock, and the muzzle of his gun wandered around Zero's body. But Zero's performance was too calm, and he did not even bat an eyelid. This made Soren very angry, and he shot a shot at Zero's thigh.

Flames flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he was shot. A bloody hole was opened in his thigh, and the pain from his flesh being ripped caused him to fiercely pounce on the ground, his knees touching the ground as though he was kneeling down in front of Soren.

Soren laughed proudly, and the soldiers and their followers also followed suit and roared with laughter.

Lea closed her eyes in distress. Zero should be a lone wolf in the wilderness, not a dog that kneeled down humbly. It shouldn't have been like this, only because of her!

She opened her eyes, as if she had made a decision.

He took a deep breath and pushed himself up before slowly standing up again.

Soren did not laugh anymore. Thus, the muzzle of the gun continued moving and finally stopped at Ling Chen's chest. Soren was seriously considering: should he take this opportunity to kill this man in front of him?

Suddenly, he heard Lea's muffled cry from behind.

Soren cursed in his heart as he quickly turned his head, but he was already unable to stop what was going to happen next.

In the midst of Lea's muffled cry, her head suddenly flew forward, her white neck striking the sharp blade of the dagger. Her tender skin was instantly cut open, and under the pressure of air, the ruptured arteries immediately spat out a cloud of bright red blood.

It was as if a beautiful flower had bloomed in midair!

Soren was stunned, Kabu was stunned, and Zero was also stunned.

No one would have thought that Lea would actually resort to such an intense method.

Soren was furious. Lea's blood sample was not bad, but everyone knew that the price of living specimens was extremely high. Soren's fury was aimed at Kabu, his follower. He should not have allowed this to happen.

"Listen to my explanation, Master Soren …" Kabu panicked, and his body fell down powerlessly at his feet. This was the first time Kabu felt that his blood could be red to such an astonishing extent.

But before Soren could scold her, a bone chilling howl came out from behind.

Like a wounded lone wolf, he howled at the moon in the desolate land. That voice was filled with rage, but more importantly, it was filled with sorrow.

Soren turned around and saw Zero screaming towards the sky. Lowering his head, he saw the tiniest of strands of hair slightly raised. In his right eye, a golden flame was burning fiercely!
