Chapter 23 (1/2)

If they were competing in speed and reflexes, they would not be a match for Hans.

However, when it came to battle experience and calculation, zero was far above him.

The narrow emergency passage is not the choice of the emergency, the zero battle is always rational and strategy as the main melody.

On the battlefield, impulsiveness would only cost one's life.

Conversely, calculation and strategy are the tools of survival.

A narrow passageway was not conducive to fighting, but in this place, zero could reduce the damage from at least one position.

He leaned against a wall and made forward and sideways shooting motions with one hand.

However, he knew that Hans, whose Agility was far superior to his, would definitely be able to evade him in advance.

Aside from the front and the side, the only other position that Hans could move in was behind him.

So Zero had waited with the other pistol and fed Hans a bullet.

This was the difference between an experienced veteran and a rookie. It was also the result of precise calculations, not purely based on luck.

Zero never believed in luck.

After giving Hans a shot, he added a few more shots, hitting Hans' head and heart respectively.

This was based on the biological structure. No matter what kind of mutated beast it was, if its brain or nerves were severed and its heart was destroyed, it would be dead, no matter how strong it was.

However, Hans, who had been badly mutilated, did not dare to be certain.

The prickling sensation under the dress was still there, a sign that the danger was still there.

However, he did not understand what kind of monster would Hans become to be able to survive even after dying a hundred times in such a manner.

It was obvious that Hans' body was constructed outside of common sense.

The broken skull healed once more, and the flesh on its chest started to bulge. Frowning, it turned around and left the emergency passageway.

The tavern was not a suitable battlefield, but it did not matter. Zero would personally find a suitable battlefield for himself and Hans.

Leah was no longer in the pub.

Lia was a smart girl, and she must have known that her presence would drag down zero.

In this way, he would be able to focus on dealing with Hans.

Although this was his plan, no one could say for sure who would deal with him.

After Zero left the emergency passageway, the door of the passageway suddenly cracked.

A figure rushed out from within. It was Hans or something else.

Zero was surprised by Hans who was in front of him.

Before this, he had already arrived at Hans' damaged flesh and blood to regenerate, but now, the healing process was a bit excessive.

Hans's wounds had been filled with new flesh and blood, but the proliferating movement had not ceased.

The excess flesh and bones propped up Hans's weak body, and the skin covering his body could no longer support the muscle growth. As a result, the muscles with white meat plates in red showed their original texture at the zero point of the eye.

Hans' upper body had nearly doubled in size, but his lower body remained the same.

It was hard to imagine how the thin lower body could support the bear like upper body.

Bone spurs stabbed out of Hans's skull and stretched in rows to the back of his head and back to the femoral vertebrae.

Hans no longer had a human form but instead looked more like a monster.

He bellowed at Zero, ”I'm going to tear you apart, soldier.”

and then eat what's left of you. ”

”If you can manage it, just come over.”

At the same time, he turned around and ran out of the tavern. At 60 km per hour, he sprinted through the tunnels of the base.

Behind him was Hans' angry roar and the sound of footsteps that sounded like tens of thousands of galloping horses.

However, the drastic change in his body caused Hans' speed to decrease slightly. Furthermore, his reflexes were not as sensitive as those of a human's.

Whenever he passed by a bend in the tunnel, Hans would smash into the alloy wall, break free, and chase after Zero.

As a result, he had to be a bit faster.

Whether it was the tavern or the rest of the base, it was not a suitable battlefield.

Hans' strength and recovery ability determined that there was no way for Zero to engage in close combat with him.

However, if it was a long-range sniper, the wilderness outside the base was more suitable.

Therefore, Zero kept running towards the exit of the base.

As he followed Ellen's body, he picked up the young soldier's sniper rifle, unlocked the safety lock, and squeezed the bullet into the chamber.
