Chapter 59 (1/2)

Broken roads, windless afternoons.

The sun was hot as it hit the ground, causing the heat to continuously rise. Finally, it created a curved shadow of light, causing the road in the distance to become distorted and unreal.

Just like this world, he would never know what tomorrow would be like.

Or new life, or destruction.

Zero sat by the shoulder of the road, the heavy locomotive beside him.

He pressed his hand to his temple, feeling extremely uncomfortable from the constant pain in his head.

Fortunately, the pain had weakened with the passage of time, and was now as weak as a needle, negligible.

The pain stemmed from the precise calculation of dodging Lafayette. It was not difficult to shoot at a target more than a kilometer away. As for the point of zero, it required two consistent shots. It was not as simple as they claimed.

From ballistic calculations to the resistance of the bullet through the air, the interference of the wind, and even the topography and magnetic field may affect the final point of impact.

The first bullet went through Lough's elemental field, and the second went on to kill him.

This seemed like a simple operation, but it required complicated and precise calculations. This level of data processing already exceeded the capacity of the brain that was at zero.

He felt lucky that he didn't die of a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot, so having a headache for a while wasn't a big deal.

However, he knew that after breaking through the computational limit of his brain this time, his brain region's development could be said to have taken a big step forward.

As for what would happen in the future, it was unclear whether the consequences would be good or bad.

All he knew was that the next time he performed such a large amount of calculations, he should be able to press down on the board a little faster.

Zero stood up, feeling weak.

Calculations that exceeded his brain load consumed a great deal of energy, so when a bottle of water and bread was handed to him, he took it without a second thought and wiped the food out of his eyes at an incredible speed.

Sue and Leah were surprised at the zero, which was always so quiet as they knew it, and seldom so raucous as it was now.

After the bread and water, he felt that it was not enough, so the three tubes of nutrients were quickly devoured.

This amount of food was already more than four times as much as normal. For zero, which could only last for a day or two after drinking 200 milliliters of water, this amount of food was more than enough for him to eat for ten days and a half months.

”Are you all right?”

With the sudden appearance of the King of the Stomach's Zero, his eyes were filled with more curiosity than concern.

Zero felt as if his body was disintegrating the food into pure energy at an abnormally terrifying speed before it was continuously transferred to his body and limbs.

His body was filled with strength and his weakness was completely swept away. This made him feel at ease.

As she spoke, Zero nodded at her, ”It's fine, I'm just a little hungry.”

Thanks to you, by the way.

I'm afraid we'll have a lot of trouble if we don't. ”

”Nothing, I also want to get even with these two sluts.”

To be honest, I'm the only one who can't do it, but you won't be the same. ”

Su Su patted her long sword, ”Speaking of which, I have to thank you for the good material you gave me. It made my sword lose a third of its weight, and its attack speed increased by nearly half.”

”This is equivalent to increasing my battle power. Thus, it is very fair for me to help you this once.”

Zero smiled.

At the same time, he did not deny that helping Zero was also helping him.

This answer fit perfectly in his stomach. He also felt that the relationship between the two was getting closer.

He wasn't a friend, but at least he wasn't a stranger.

Friendship in the wild is not common, and real friends are few and far between.

From the oppression of survival and profit, there are no eternal friends or enemies in this world, not in the old days, not in the new.

”Then, where do you plan to go next?”

he asked as he checked the crane truck.

He returned the sword to the leather sheath on his back and pointed it into the distance. ”I'm still wandering around like before.”

Quest, earn money, then buy news, find enemies.

”This cycle probably will last for a very long time.”
