Chapter 220 - Sword-drawn Anxiety (2/2)
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face. At the same time as he fired his gun, his head tilted to the side. Suddenly, the shot missed and the bullet struck the wall behind Bian Tou.
At this point in time, the footman withdrew his katana, and as he slashed towards Zero, he laughed: ”Zero, I can see your movements …”
However, he had only spoken half of the sentence when the deacon's body suddenly trembled. A mist of blood suddenly burst out from the back of his head as the man who was crossing over to the side revealed an expression of disbelief. Tai Chi who was slashing towards Zero also had no strength to continue as he fell down onto the ground beside Ling Yun.
The back of his head was almost lifted by the bullet, but he was still alive. He forced out a sentence from his mouth: ”Impossible, I …” ”I dodged it...”
He could not close his mouth after spitting out the last word. He had lost his breath, but he had died.
He leaned against the wall and stood up. After glancing at the man crossing, he picked up Colt from the ground and headed toward the exit of the mine according to the map in his mind.
The footman did manage to avoid Zero's attack, but it was no ordinary attack, but a ping pong ball. If the bullets had slowed down, it would not have been difficult to see that the trajectory of the Zero Shot was not a straight line, but rather a slight arc. This determined that the bullet would not hit the wall directly, but graze the wall before being reflected back due to a special technique, finally hitting the border crossing.
When Adepts were free from the rudiments of power, their abilities multiplied and their defenses increased. This was also the reason why it was difficult for a low-level Adept to defeat a professional like them. It could be said that above the fifth step, the difference between Adepts and Adepts was even more distinct. They would evolve along different paths, and the higher the level, the greater the differences between the abilities.
When he reached the exit of the mining site, he heard gunshots, furious roars and miserable shrieks coming from outside. He took two or three steps forward to see a one-sided battle taking place in the abandoned mine. The reinforcements led by Lang Ken and Anthony finally arrived. On average, the troops with a strength around the third step were not something that a wolf thief could contend with, not to mention that most of the bandits' people had followed them into the mine, and all of them died to Zero's guns.
Currently, there were less than twenty wolf thieves left, and they could not even last ten minutes. All of them were killed by Asgard's troops. Looking at the situation, Zero couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Adept army. At the same time, he also understood why giants like the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Dark Council were able to dominate the entire continent.
It was already hard to find a base with more than ten Adepts. The Heroic Spirit Hall and the Dark Council, on the other hand, had hundreds and thousands of adepts. After all, there were two giants with perfect genetic technology, and low-level Adepts could produce almost any amount of it. For example, a small squad like this one with an average ability of around the third step would produce a lot of soldiers.
However, a person with this kind of ability would have limited potential for growth if he didn't experience a genetic shock but instead used a drug to trigger his ability. There were very few people who could advance, and there were practically no powerhouses above the eighth step. However, the advantage was that there were a lot of them. With an army made up of low-level experts, there were almost no bases in the wilderness that could withstand it.
As he watched Lanken and Anthony's subordinates sweep through the bandits like a tornado, Zero discovered that Sue and the other two were as if nothing had happened as they stayed by the troop transport. At the same time that Zero saw them, they also discovered zero. The three of them immediately walked forward and met up with Zero at the exit of the mining site.
Sue gave him a big hug and said, ”It's great to see you're okay, Zero. ”There's something I have to tell you. Anthony and the others …”
Halfway through his words, Feng suddenly patted Su gently and whispered, ”They are here.”
Looking up, past Sue and the others, he saw Rankin and Anthony approaching. The three of them separated to make way. Anthony walked up to Zero and smiled, ”Captain Zero, I am really sorry. There was something wrong with the receiver, so we couldn't track your signal, so... ”
Without giving Anjianni a chance to finish his sentence, the gun in Zero's hand that was already out of ammo was suddenly raised and pressed the muzzle of the gun against Anthony's forehead.
Anthony's face immediately turned extremely ugly. Lang Ken was also shocked, but he did not expect Zero to point the gun at Anthony without saying a word.
When the nearby soldiers, who were sweeping the battlefield, saw this, they immediately surrounded him. They were Anthony and his subordinates, especially Anthony's subordinates. Seeing that their captain had been pointed at with a gun, they all pointed their machine guns at zero.
Some of the more powerful ones started to prepare their own abilities, while the others didn't stay idle either. Su Feng and Tang Dao appeared at the same time. As for Ma Pei, his muscles were trembling. He was ready to transform at any moment.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense. One bad thing was that it would be a full-scale war. However, no matter if it was Su Feng or Ma pei, they were not scared at all. Instead, their eyes revealed a look of excitement.
At this moment, Zero finally spoke.
”I don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot.” Staring at Anthony, Zero slowly said, ”I know what you guys are doing and what you want to do. But I can promise you, if you do something to me, or to my companions, that you will not see the light of day. I will make all of you regret it very much, very much! ”
