Chapter 25 (1/2)

The smell of zeros was always drifting in the air. It was neither too little nor too little. It was just enough to lead Hans to the gorge like a ghost.

Hans gasped for breath as he noticed that the mutated muscles were emitting an astonishing amount of heat.

The energy within his body was being used there because it was nearing its limit. How could the Han level escape from it?

Infinite regeneration of the flesh and blood is true, but energy cannot be regenerated.

However, due to his zero-motion fighting style, Hans could not even rest for the past three days, much less eat.

Moreover, this human tank like body, compared to the humanoid state, had increased Hans' energy consumption.

He did not adjust every bit of energy to its maximum like Zero did. Comparatively speaking, the energy consumed by Hans was far above zero.

Even though his base in this respect is also much larger than zero.

Right now, Hans was like a wild beast. He did not have any extra sense of rationality to restrict his actions.

Since the liberation of the chains of reason, the only reason left for Hans was to kill zero.

Thus, even though the energy consumption was nearing its end, he could not stop, nor did he want to stop.

He rushed into the canyon with a cloud of dust, the smell of it was much lighter.

The wind that blew against the canyon wall dispersed due to the impact of the mountain wall. It formed a few small, irregular streams of wind, which would reduce the smell of blood that was scattered in the air.

Hans had to work hard to make sense of it so that he would not lose his target.

After circling a bumpy mountainous road and crossing two sections of broken highway, Hans found traces of blood under a bent sign.

It excited him, and the smell of blood continued up the hill.

Hans bent his knees and leapt ten meters forward. He caught hold of the protruding rock mass on the mountainside and chased after it as if he was flying.

The distance of two hundred meters was quickly brought to an end by Hans' movement. Hans jumped onto a platform that was halfway up the mountain.

The sand and stones here had been ground into powder by the strong wind and the scorching sun.

It's in there.

This thought flashed through Hans's mind as he groped his way toward the cave.

As he walked closer, he felt a little absent-minded.

He seemed to have been to this place before. Of course, Hans would not remember now.

Just half a month ago, he dragged a corpse wolf into a hole to tear it apart and eat it, thus attracting zero attention.

Now he was back in the cave.

Only the carcass of the wolf was missing, but Hans had found something else.

Behind a rock in the cave, Hans saw a figure.

He crouched behind the stone, trembling slightly.

It seemed to hurt, and Hans was glad.

His voice echoed in the cave.

Hans lunged toward Zero, and his hand, strong enough to wring off the elephant's neck, reached for Zero.

Zero appeared to be seriously injured and could not escape Hans' grip.

Hans clenched his fingers and lifted his hand up.

Zero's body was abnormally light.

His clothes were torn just like that.

There was nothing under the clothes. There was a small crack in the ground.

The wind blew from the crack in the ground, causing his clothes to constantly sway, creating the illusion that Hans had just seen.

Right now, Hans could not understand what it meant to be fooled. However, he was rather annoyed that he could not catch anything. Thus, the furious Hans did not show up.

As the clothes were torn, a thread of silk was lifted from beneath the clothes.

The other end of the wire was tied to the safety of a grenade on the ground.

As the thread was lifted, the safety catch was removed.

With a slight sound that was almost inaudible, the hand grenade's impact needle descended. After triggering the explosion of the equipment, the air inside swelled rapidly.

Beside the grenade, there was a full circle of detonators that were originally meant for hunting wolves.

Apparently, their target was Hans.

A flash of fire.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA!

A huge explosion sounded in the canyon, and many of the Zombie Wolves in the canyon immediately began to run in panic.

Far away, a cloud of fire rose from the canyon.

The clouds of fire churned, accompanied by thick smoke and falling stones, suddenly spread out in all directions.

After several seconds, the fire cloud began to slowly descend, but the entire mountaintop was already pitch black.

Raging flames entangled the weeds that crawled out from the crevices of the mountain, covering the entire mountain area. Although some mutated creatures in the valley were curious, they didn't dare to approach.

A minute later, a figure appeared nearby.

Zero carried a sniper rifle on his back and wore only a considerate vest.

His jacket had been sacrificed to lure Hans into the trap, and the sun shone down on him with a startling amount of ultraviolet light.

The exposed skin started to turn slightly red, but that was all. What Ling Chen did not know was that if it was a normal person, their skin would have already become rotten from the ultraviolet rays.

Thick military boots squashed a clump of burning grass under his feet, and he carefully slipped into the hole with his sniper rifle in his hand.

The hole was a choking cloud of smoke, and he held his breath.

However, the smoke mixed with the smell of gunpowder obscured his vision.

To reduce the irritation of the smoke to the eyes, narrow your eyes into a slit.

He regretted not wearing the gas mask, otherwise he wouldn't be in tears like he was now.

Hans' voice could not be heard in the cave, apart from the sound of burning grass.
