Chapter 258 - Conspiracy (2/2)

”Only the five great captains have the authority to alter the orders of the headquarters. Saul is my student. You should know that he would not do such a thing. So apart from you guys, only Tyre, Badr, and Loki have the possibility. ” ”If I'm not wrong, it must be Loki. That sinister brat! ”

”In any case, when this is over, I will investigate it carefully. Let the mastermind behind this pay a heavy price! ” That's what Valkyrie said.

A few hot streams of air shot out of his nostrils, and with a grunt he turned and walked away. Valkyrie followed him. Looking at the Iron Tiger's figure, the War Goddess shook her head almost imperceptibly.

Callio was good at everything, but he was too loyal. To Valkyrie, the five commanders were all suspicious, except for herself. He decided that Loki was merely his personal preference, but that wasn't enough to prove it.

Valkyrie will find this evidence and uncover the clown behind the scenes!

Right now, she could only hope that Zero had not died in this conspiracy. From the change of location to the appearance of an external killer, it was like a meticulously planned death match. The man wanted Zero to die in the Cossack base. What was his motive? But no matter what, she would not allow Zero to die just like that before it could radiate any light.

As she thought, Zero was not dead yet.

In the darkness, a little golden flame jumped up. That was zero's right eye. After a short ten minutes of rest, Zero opened his eyes. A golden light flashed in his right eye as Zero stretched his numb limbs and then stood up while holding onto the wall.

His brain issued a command, and immediately countless data were relayed to the brain's neural center from all parts of his body. After analyzing the data, Zero instantly knew that he had recovered 27% of his energy. Zero did not know why a specific number appeared. In the past, he had only obtained a vague feeling. But this time, the numbers were clear.

It seemed that after such a long battle, Zero's computational ability had already improved by leaps and bounds.

He was quietly evolving.

However, the energy level of less than thirty percent was not enough to sustain a normal battle. But Zero did not plan to rest. He had already rested for too long. So he started walking, but he didn't go forward, but headed back. At first he staggered, but after a while he walked faster and faster until he was running at a constant speed of thirty kilometers an hour. Quickly, Zero returned to the training room and retrieved his tactical helmet from the uneven ground.

When he put on the helmet and looked back, a slight prickling sensation appeared on Zero's back. He turned with a cautious, subtle movement. Behind him was a goddess of vengeance. It was unknown when the big bug had appeared in the cultivation room, but its huge body was moving up and down on the ground. The thing in front of it was either 'submerged' by its huge body or pushed to the side.

Zero was in the bug's path. However, the Vengeance Goddess didn't seem to have any hostility towards Zero. Therefore, this ”barrier” of zero very tactfully hid in the gap between the two cultivation troughs. Just like that, he watched the big bug swim past him and disappear into the entrance of the cultivation room.

He heaved a sigh of relief and followed the communication function of the helmet into the dedicated communication channel. On the screen of the helmet, the picture of Feng and the other two appeared. However, only the Marb icon was lit, while the other two's were dark gray in color, indicating that the other party was in a state where they were unable to communicate.

”Ma pei, do you hear me?” Zero said in the communication channel.

A moment later, a delighted voice came out from the black man, ”Captain, it's great to hear your voice. Are you okay? ”

Zero could feel a faint warmth flowing through his chest. Originally, being cared for by others was a very happy thing. However, Zero's voice did not show any fluctuations in emotions. He continued, ”I'm fine. Where are you right now? How's the situation?”

Ma Pei briefly reported the current situation of the team. Upon hearing that there was no news about them after they entered the fifth floor's base, Zero's heart tightened. But at this moment, the icons of Feng and Su lit up on the screen.

Moments later, Feng's voice came through the communication channel: ”Captain? ”I knew you wouldn't die, how could that octopus man be your opponent …”

Following that was a string of praises from Feng. The degree of numbness in his body made him want to throw his helmet off. Fortunately, there was a wave of chaotic noise coming from the communication channel, and Zero could vaguely hear Feng's shouts. Then, Eva's voice rang in the channel, ”Zero, hurry up and roll over here. We're in trouble, big trouble! ”
