It was an hour later when he carried Monnie up the cable bridge that connected the two sides of the crack.
Monien was dismounted, and from the depths of the creva.s.se, strong winds were constantly blowing against the current, causing the bridge to sway gently.
It was not a good idea to run across the cable bridge. The wind coming up from the big crack was strong and weak, and when it was weak it could only make the bridge tremble slightly, but it was strong enough to cause the bridge to sway slightly from side to side.
If you run over a bridge and suddenly run into a strong wind, the updraft will cause you to lose your balance, a bad fall into the bottomless abyss is not a fun thing to do.
If there was a Land Cruiser at zero, then crossing the bridge was relatively easy.
The vehicle itself was heavy enough to withstand the strong underground wind, and the undercarriage would keep the center of gravity fixed on the bridge without being blown over.
In fact, the suspension cable bridge was designed for cracks as well, and was built for the purpose of traffic. The designer himself did not consider pedestrians pa.s.sing by the bridge, so it created a bit of difficulty for a few people to pa.s.s through.
The three of them walked as far as they could along the center of the bridge, and when they reached the center of the bridge, a magnificent scene appeared before their eyes.
Looking from the east side of the large crevice, one could see the surface of the sea.
It was a polluted sea to the east of the coastline. This sea was extremely vast, so large that it was impossible to measure.
It was just that the blue seawater that should have appeared had turned dark red due to the pollution, giving the world a desolate beauty br.i.m.m.i.n.g with despair.
The endless sea was not peaceful either. As far as the coast was concerned, there were no less than a hundred kinds of mutated fish.
As for the deep sea, there were more than ten species of large mutated beasts like the Filthy Devourer. It could be said that the polluted sea was much more dangerous than the land.
But on both sides of the sea, there were two other continents. Their area was slightly smaller than the continent of China, but there were no lack of traces of civilization on them.
However, due to the fact that the sky"s radiation cloud was everywhere, all the aviation equipment would be disturbed to varying degrees. Therefore, even if the old aircraft was repaired, it could not be put into use.
This made it possible for people to travel between continents only by means of s.h.i.+ps.
Scholars had predicted that as capabilities and technology developed and intercontinental exchanges became more frequent, the world would usher in a great age of navigation, which meant that wars and conquests would take place in every corner of the world.
But no matter what, the sky and the sea could always move a person"s mind.
Even though it was only zero, when he looked at the sea outside the huge rift, he couldn"t help but feel the urge to go out to sea.
Naturally, impulsiveness was just impulsiveness, not reality.
Therefore, Zero coughed dryly and pulled Monnie and Aisha"s minds back from their respective imaginations.
Monnie was better off. After all, she"d spent some time in Rough Reef, not far from the sea, but she"d never seen the sea.
It was the first time that she had seen the sea, even though Gunat had spoken of it when he had taught her.
"What"s on the other side of the sea?"
she asked in a nearly dreamy tone.
"I don"t know. It could have been a war, or it could have been a natural war."
This world was not the era that Zero was familiar with, and he did not know what the other two continents looked like.
After a short period of sighing, the road still had to continue.
However, just as Zero was about to turn around and set off, a hint of coldness suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.
The hairs on his body stood on end. It was the feeling of being aimed at by a sniper.
Parkland"s killer!
He"s back!
However, when Lingcun was about to dodge, the coldness disappeared from his forehead.
However, Zero could clearly feel that killing intent s.h.i.+fting.
"What"s wrong, Zero?"
Mony asked in surprise when she saw the huge change in Zero Face.
Just as Lingcun was about to express his thoughts, he suddenly discovered that the bit of killing intent had already landed on Mo Ni. It was behind her head and Mo Ni had yet to completely disappear!
The sniper bullet was like the Grim Reaper in the dark night. It suddenly arrived.
When he looked towards Mony, he saw the same metal warhead shooting from the direction of Death"s Ridge.
It rotated at high speed in the air, creating faint gaseous flames as it rubbed against the air. Carrying a sharp killing intent, it shot straight towards the back of Monnie"s head.
With a roar, Zero instinctively pushed Monnie aside and sent her tumbling to the side.
However, after knocking away Monnie, he moved his position to zero and placed himself in the line of fire of the sniper rifle.
In a split-second, he understood that the a.s.sa.s.sin"s target was him. However, the a.s.sa.s.sin had cleverly taken advantage of the weakness in his character and thus increased the probability of a sniper"s shot to 100%!
Zero could no longer be avoided.
He could only clench his teeth, cross his hands in front of him to block the vital parts of his head and chest, and then fully utilize his enhanced defense.
With the pa.s.sage of time, he could not even use the explosive move to dodge the fatal blow.
Thus, just as Monnie crashed into her, Zero was lifted off the ground and sent flying.
Time seemed to press the stop b.u.t.ton at that moment, and Monnie and Arisa"s eyes were wide open.
They could clearly see the sniper grenade trailing a translucent track across Zero"s arm, then into his right chest, then a trail of blood and bits of flesh from his back, before it disappeared on the other side of the bridge.
When Zero landed on the bridge, the sound of the sniper rifle came from the direction of Death"s Ridge.
"Zero!"
"Lie down!"
Moni and Zero"s voices rang out at the same time. The latter"s voice was loud and clear, clearly not being fatally injured. Only then did Monnie heave a sigh of relief.
"F * ck, how lucky!"
Lan Qi, who had just finished a sniping action on a fir tree in the dense forest of Death G.o.d"s Ridge, cursed fiercely.
In his calculations, a sniper bullet should have hit a zero in the heart. Unexpectedly, a strong wind blew out of the crevice the moment the shot was fired, causing the bridge to shake. It also interfered with the trajectory of the sniper bullet and deflected Lan Qi"s shot.
However, he still had a chance. Lan Qi revealed a cold smile. He changed the aim of his gun and aimed at the steel rope on the bridge.
Actually, this was his biggest killing move.
He took a deep breath and used his muscles to constrict the wound.
However, he did not have the time to immediately deal with the gunshot wound. His right forearm had been struck by the sniper bullet, leaving a deep wound.
As for his chest, there was a penetrating injury. Fortunately, it did not damage his bones and nerves. Otherwise, he wouldn"t be able to move this time.
Staying on the bridge would only serve as a sniper"s target, so they had Monnie and her partner cling as close to the bridge as they could, then scramble across it.
But just when they were about to take action, the drawbridge suddenly shook, and the sound of sniper rifles rang out once more.
Lingcun was stunned. The targets of this attack clearly weren"t any of the three of them.
However, the terrifying sound of tearing came from above their heads. They looked up and saw that a part of the suspension cable had been torn.
At the opening, the steel wires that were hidden in the cables were constantly cracking!
