Chapter 2 (2/2)
At the same tiranddaughter while he blaht Leah to the work area? Why haven't you taken her home?”
Old Jack wasn't walking slowly but soh his side and came to stop in front of Leah Old Jack saw that it was the survivior… Zero
Zero looked at Leah as the girl in his dreams and the one in front of hi else was so siirl in the dream
His hand trembled as he touched Leah's face
“Li …” Zero called out the girl's name from the dream
Leah was in a trance as she looked at the strange boy who affectionately stared at her Leah saw her own reflection in the eyes of the boy
“phuck off, kiddo!” Holt's voice awoke Zero and Leah
Holt punched out as his huge fist went for bloards Zero's face
Zero's eyes flashed No one knehen or how he moved but everyone saw the sturdy Holt already knelt down
Holt was about to cuss but he felt coldness in his mouth He saw a black barrel stretched out and inside his mouth Cold sweat dripped down his spine
There was no trace of feelings but coldness as Zero looked at Holt The boy didn't look like he atching a person but a corpse
“Stop!”
A scream echoed frory cat She shouted in an angry tone: ”Put the gun away! I forbid you to treat Holt in that manner!”
Holt couldn't speak but gratefully looked at the girl
Zero hesitated but still recovered the barrel The moment the barrel left Holt's mouth Zero felt a kick that hit hiet up but felt the muzzle at his temple
”A! You just woke up and dare to act wild in my base!? Do you think that I won't kill you and feed to the zombies in the wilderness?”
Old Jack was roaring as saliva splattered out from his mouth and splashed onto Zero's face
Zero's expression didn't change as he looked at Old Jack: “You won't …”
“You are quite confident, boy” Old Jack replied
Holt took the opportunity and got up froround He immediately hit Zero with a left hook Zero's head bent to the right and then he slowly turned back His left cheek ollen Zero spat out and coldly looked at Holt
Holt wanted to hit few more punches but he was interrupted by Old Jack: ”bastard! Do you dare to turn deaf ear to my words? I will throw all of you to the wilderness! I will see if you have the ability to go against those monsters”
Old Jack looked at his granddaughter: ”Leah take hih to eat and drink Afterwards do an ability check”
Leah doubted her ears as she shook her head: “Ability identification? Grandpa do you suspect that he has power? It's impossible! Survivors haven't experience the Catastrophe Their genes haven't gone through the evolution… ”
“This is the era of shi+t! There is nothing impossible” Old Jack walked towards Leah's side and whispered: ”Haven't you noticed his eyes yet? It is the dragon's eyes…”
Dragon's eyes…
Leah looked at the gold like pupil of Zero There were silver stripes at the edges Indeed, that wasn't an ordinary eye that human could have
“The rest of you get back to work or else I will get es!”
Old Jack shouted and the crowd dispersed
“Come with me” Leah came to stop by Zero: “What is your name?”
“Zero…”
The coldness in his eyes faded away The figure of the girl was reflected in his golden pupil She was so siirl from the dream She was the only one who he couldn't be ruthless with
A piece of hard bread which was no different than a stone and a cup of water that had soon it Those tere Zero's food He looked at the bread and water on the table They were totally different from the food that was in his memory
He confirmed from the computer of the hibernation capsule that he had slept for fifty years His body functions and appearance were sao Computer had controlled the nutrient levels in his body
However nutrients couldn't replace real food That's why Zero felt weak and hungry when he woke up
But his appetite was lost as he looked at the food in front of him
“Eat faster” Leah urged: “Don't looked at their ugly look They are not contarandfather You won't be able to eat the food supplied to the base”
“It is not the old era anymore Only the nobility is qualified to enjoy fresh et the point already” Leah leaned over the table as she looked at Zero with interest
Zero frowned but he still picked up the bread from the plate and chewed it
Leah chucked as she watched hiht eye?”
“Right eye? What's wrong with ht eye?” Zero was puzzled as he tried to s the bread that was as hard as a stone
He hasn't checked himself in front of a olden eye Moreover there were no probleolden eye' until Leah asked hiht eye
The silver stripes distributed on the edges suddenly concentrated in the middle and formed a vertical pupil similar to a beast's
Zero's perception of the world became totally different!
If you have read The Dark King then you should be aware of my taste when I choose a novel Those who can’t handle some mild shi+t then I reco in between those lines…
