Chapter 74 (1/2)

At daybreak, Zero was lying on top of a water tower on the rooftop of a building. From this direction, it was possible to reach Saurun camp.

The year-long protocol seems to have thinned a little in the vault of the sky today, so there is an extra bit of daylight thrown into the earth.

Even if it was not yet six o'clock in the morning, you didn't have to count on the balmy breezes of the old days, and the sun, which began to radiate heat even with a little light, would drive all the good spirits to the bottom of the valley.

Even the mutated beast that was the most resistant to radiation was unwilling to be exposed to the sun for an entire day.

As for Zero, who was lying on top of the water tower, the heat emitted by the steel plates of the water tower was enough to roast an ordinary person.

However, Zero did not notice. Even though he was wearing a tactical suit that was not thin, he did not even sweat a single drop.

The body's energy distribution was almost harsh. At this moment of high temperature, the body temperature was automatically lowered to zero.

After last night's plan went bankrupt, Zero had no choice but to keep an eye on Sauron's team.

He had to redraw his plan and find a way to save Leah.

Based on Saurun's evaluation of his character, the proud him would not easily leave the ruins. After all, Lingcun had slapped him hard last night.

A person like him would only think of seizing Zero to torture him to death.

However, it was not easy to find zero. Even though Saurun had a certain amount of reconnaissance ability, that kind of ability was not enough to find him in the eyes of others.

The only one qualified for this was one of Sauron's stalking experts. Zero didn't mind the stalker chasing him, so that he could use the environment to kill Saurun's right-hand man.

But there was another way to find Sauron, and that was to reveal himself automatically.

Zero only hoped that Sauron would not use this method based on his own dignity.

But zero seemed to overestimate Sauron's dignity.

So when he got to Leah and Sauron brought her out of the camp, Zero was very pale.

As expected, he still used this method. It was simple, but it was effective.

But that was the last way to get there.

”Zero!”

In the early morning, Saurun's voice had a powerful piercing power.

Undoubtedly, as long as one was not deaf, one could hear it within a kilometer.

And the echo of the empty buildings in the ruins would carry the sound farther.

”I know you're nearby.”

Listen, I have your woman now.

And one of my followers has his dagger on her neck, and if you don't think she's hurt, I'd advise you to get out.

”You only have a minute. If you miss this time, then prepare to collect her corpse.”

After saying these words in one breath, Saurun looked around vigilantly.

Kabu was beside him, his dagger held horizontally across Leah's neck, less than five centimeters from the main artery.

Next to them was a group of soldiers who had been fully armed and had almost no blind spots from the firepower scattered around them.

Everything in the camp was clear through the gold right eye. Sauron was close to Liesels, and the dagger of the retainer lay like the sickle of death on Leah's neck.

At this distance, he could have easily shot the retainer in the head, but his reaction before he died had been enough to slit Leah's white neck.

Zero did not dare take the risk. This was a highly targeted plan.

Just as he had analyzed Saurun before, the other party must have researched his actions in order to understand his personality.

The two armies faced off against each other.

To be able to use Sauron's self-esteem to force him into a corner, the other party had naturally used his love for Leah to plot against him.

It's fair.

Zero stood up and stood on the water tower.

Sauron did not see it until Zero made a mental motion at him.

Sauron, as if stung by a cold snake, instinctively turned in the direction of the water tower.

Their gazes met in midair, brushing past the intense sparks.

One of Sauron's firefighters immediately fired in the direction of the water tower, but at a faster rate.

With a flash, he jumped down from the water tower and landed on the rooftop.

At this time, the water tower's quilt was ejected into a hornet's nest.

”Zero, I never said that you can dodge at will!”

Or would you rather I slit her throat? ”

Saurun laughed loudly, as if he wanted to take back all the revenge from last night. He felt very satisfied.

The thrill of manipulating the lives and deaths of others was one that Saurun liked and was familiar with.

This feeling had once disappeared because of zero, but now, it had returned!

Zero was lying on the rooftop, where the marksman could not find and fire.

He turned his head towards the sky and said with a loud voice, ”You can't kill her. Don't tell me you don't need her anymore?”

Leah's mouth was blocked by a crumpled piece of cloth. She wanted to say something, but all she could do was purr.

Sauron spoke for her: ”Yes, she is of value to us.”

But we had already extracted three tubes of blood from her, and these samples were enough for the Institute.

And Ben, I sent someone to the base last night.

”Right now, her greatest use to us is to tie you down!”

Zero was silent.

”If I were you, I'd go far away now, because there's no chance of winning.”

Saurun was in no hurry. He was like a cat playing with a mouse. ”After all, she is only a woman, nothing.

”With your potential, wouldn't it be more than enough for a woman like her in the future?”

”Or I could let her go.
