Chapter 229 - Core of Ligh (2/2)

As for why Zero would possess such a substance close to the core of light, it would be related to a plan. The plan of the man-made gods only existed in between these words. It was incomplete and incomplete. He only had a general idea of what was going on, but he had no idea about the core content of the plan as well as the process of his experiments. All he knew was that this plan was related to the miracle and had begun before the Cataclysm.

As for Zero, after a period of analysis and sampling, it had proven that he was one of the experimental subjects of that plan.

”Father!”

His daughter's voice brought Ben out of his reverie, and he looked at Valkyrie. The old man knew what she was going to say. Ben laughed and said, ”Don't worry, Carrion is not an idiot. Although the Cossacks' military base was dangerous, Callio would not assign a mission that required certain death. Moreover, if Zero is a second generation Homo Evolutis, this little bit of difficulty would not be difficult for him … ”

”However, just in case. ”My dear daughter, go to the Cossack himself. If Zero's life is in danger, immediately stop the examination and bring him back safely.”

'Zero is more important to the Hall of Heroic Spirits than anything else. The codes of the inner cores could not be compared with the level of the Nuclei of Light. If he could first decipher the code from zero, then use it as a reference for the core of light to decipher, then his progress would be much faster. So, even if Ben hadn't given the order, Valkyrie would have secretly gone to the Cossacks to protect Zero.

In the eyes of the War Goddess, Zero should not have joined any new regiment. He only needed to stay in the laboratory and obediently cooperate with her. In that case, Zero could get everything he wanted without having to join the military system.

Ben smiled and shook his head as he watched Valkyrie go. He knew very well what Valkyrie was thinking. This little girl that he had rescued from the abandoned supermarket had a very high intelligence. Valkyrie always sees right through the essence of things and uses the most direct and effective way to solve anything. But because of this, Valkyrie lacked a sense of human nature.

In the case of zeros, which were intended for the military system at the time, Valkyrie objected vehemently. According to her, she could have Zero obediently stay in the laboratory to coordinate with the research on the Nucleus of Light. But Ben knew that if he did, not only would Zero not cooperate, it would also actively try to escape from Asgard.

So the best way to keep Zero in Asgartree was to let him join the military system. After all, Ben knew that there were only a handful of friends he knew in the new barracks. To make Zero stay, a tough attitude was not advisable. On the contrary, he would only stay if he allowed this human to be tied down. Friendship was one of them, and besides, affection.

After graduating from the new camp, Ben had decided to allocate the funds he needed to revive Leah and use Asgard's resources to help him accomplish this. With Zero's character, he would definitely try his best to decipher the light core.

This was human nature, the wisdom of an old man's life.

”We're here!”

It was unknown who's loud roar woke Zero from his slumber. Like an activated electronic circuit, as he opened his eyes, countless commands were immediately transmitted from his brain to every part of his body. Cells began to become active to provide zero-surge power.

Zero can clearly sense the power, or biological energy, that is surging from all parts of the body. This was the first time Zero had felt the life energy in his body. It was like a warm current flowing through his veins.

With a violent vibration, the transport stopped. Zero jumped out of the car, breathing not Asgard's artificial chemical oxygen but the wild air. He inhaled the air current with a slight burning sensation. This was because the air contained a certain amount of radiation. In the past, it didn't seem any different. However, after getting used to the fresh artificial oxygen from Asgard, the air in the wilderness became like a bottle of lousy beer, causing one to be unable to swallow it.

After staying in Asgard for so long, even the fiercest person would turn into a greenhouse flower. Zero couldn't help but mock himself in his heart.

They were now about a hundred miles west of the Julian mountain range. If they continued west, they would reach the tundra that had been frozen for a long time. Other than the aliens that Ben had previously listed, there was no other life that could survive in such an environment with a temperature of -50 degrees Celsius. Even here, the temperature was only -15 degrees Celsius.

However, the night god's temperature control system was able to maintain the human body's normal temperature. Therefore, Zero did not feel that cold.

From here, he could see the contours of some buildings in the distance. However, because of the low temperature, the moisture in the air condensed into ice crystals, and the wind was strong, it was impossible to see the scene in the distance clearly from a layer of icy fog.

A dilapidated but clearly artificially constructed road stretched out from the right side of the convoy towards the direction of the buildings. Callio jumped out of the car, and the chief instructor shouted to the new recruits, ”Listen, follow this road and you'll see the Cossack military base. I'll send you guys here, now, charge at me! ”
