Chapter 54 (2/2)

This is so cool, can you lend it to me for a meeting? ”

He reached out to touch the cold metal casing of the engine, but soon the unruly hand was pulled back by the Negro.

”Are you leaving?”

Zero nodded.

Zion didn't say anything, just patted Zero on the shoulder.

Teddy, on the other hand, gave Zero a thumbs up.

Lia came out of the tent.

She had already packed her things. In fact, the two of them didn't have any luggage, not even a few clothes.

So Leah had only a backpack, and most of it was filled with water and food.

Five hundred kilometers west of Remutt was the headquarters of a company called Ron.

Ron's company was engaged in the business of selling mutated creatures. During the turbulent years, there were all sorts of strange things to deal with. They treated mutated beasts as pets or domesticated animals, and their prices were quite high as well.

Ron wasn't without money, but most of the mutants they caught were sold to the labs of big companies to speed up their biochemical and genetic research.

Zero decided to pick this base as his next stop, where he could part-time earn some extra money from Monster Hunters and find out which company's lab could solve Lia's problem through Ron's co-operative channel.

In order to travel during the day, he bought a radiation protection kit for Leah, including clothes, gloves, and shoes.

Leah put it on and put the cloak back on.

She sat behind Zero, her hands clasped around him.

After a brief farewell with the people at the station, Zero started the engine and drove out of the underground base of Remutt.

At the exit, Ralph came out of the shadows and watched the backs of the two men as they disappeared into the wilderness, a faint smile on the Russian's face.

The modified heavy locomotive has two sources of fuel, one that uses old gasoline for combustion and the other for solar energy.

This energy seems more convenient for a new era of sun full of intense ultraviolet light.

Zero switched the fuel mode to solar option, and two panels of solar energy were stretched out from the rear end of the locomotive, which efficiently and quickly absorbed the sun's energy and converted it into locomotive powered energy. Some of the solar energy was stored in the locomotive's batteries for backup at other times.

The engine's speed limit was 240 kilometers per hour, and when the needle hit 200 kilometers, the heavy locomotive was like a flash of black lightning on a deserted highway.

Normal people would not be able to control this speed, but Agility had already reached rank 2 zero. His reflexes were enough to deal with the complicated situation on the road.

The car was fast but steady, and Lia, in the back seat, was reassured.

Zero could feel the hot wind blowing past his face, and the speed of the car made him feel so good that he almost wanted to shout.

As a semicircular bend was left behind, the figure of the Viaduct appeared in Zero's eyes.

The viaduct spanned the kilometer-wide river, and from the oncoming wind the pungent smell of polluted water could already be smelled.

Seeing the bridge, Zero's skin suddenly felt a pricking sensation.

Dangerous!

At the same time this signal appeared in his mind, the roars of other locomotives came from behind Zero!
