Fortunately, there was the Dragon Cat Editor who helped update it, so he didn"t change it. Thank you through my subscription, monthly tickets, bounty friends. I will continue to work hard to repay everyone for their efforts. Finally, I want to request a subscription. I want everyone to support the genuine version. I want to have a meal as a reward. Heh.)
Valkyrie watched in silence as the dead butcher lay on the ground, his chest almost completely caved in, his back broken and broken in several places. Behind the butcher, dark red blood dyed the ground red. On top of the blood lay a few bones, which were the broken vertebrae of the butcher. Beneath the mask, the butcher looked stunned. He had never thought that he would end up like this.
He patted his shoulder as if he had done something trivial. He raised his head and motioned for Valkyrie to follow him.
As the two of them sped through the darkness of the base"s main pa.s.sageway, Valkyrie looked at the short, stocky figure in front of him. When the blind butcher had rushed toward them, Carrion had sneered. The Chief Military Instructor crashed head-on into the butcher without any skill. The shock waves generated by the clash of forces had even turned several nearby buildings into dust, while the butcher who tried to kill the two of them was already dead.
Not only did the impact collapse its chest, but it also turned its brain into a paste. Although Valkyrie knew that he was not a simple man, it was only now that he had witnessed him effortlessly taking care of a butcher that Valkyrie was able to understand a little of his power.
In his father"s occasional talk of the past, Valkyrie knew that Carrion had the t.i.tle of Steel Tiger. Even Ben had an expression of admiration when he talked about Callio. Aside from the power of the eighth step, there was another matter that he was proud of. That was, the wounds of the Iron Tiger were numerous, but not a single injury was seen on his back!
He was a worthy warrior, and an example to all the warriors of Asgard. In particular, Kalio"s student was also the idol of ThunderG.o.d Saul, the commander of Doomhammer"s army.
With a slight distraction, Caelio sensed something amiss. The Chief Military Instructor, who had been one step ahead of them, slowed down and used a casual punch to smash a Ripper, who had jumped out of a building three hundred meters away, into bits of meat, into the air. "Concentrate," he said. "Even though there are few lives in this base that can compete with you, that doesn"t mean you can let your guard down."
Valkyrie trembled slightly, and faintly touched upon the difference between Kalio and the other experts. It was a will of the mind that was as unmovable as a boulder. It maintained a battle-ready state all the time. This kind of method seemed to be meaningless, but in actual combat, it could burst forth with an even greater power, allowing him to defeat an opponent of a higher level than him. However, not everyone could maintain a fighting state throughout the day, as that would cause extreme mental stress.
As a result, there was no second Kalio to be found in the whole of Asgard.
When her attention returned to the underground base, Valkyrie"s eyes looked out through the darkness and obstacles. There was no life that could be hidden from her eyes. Thus, she saw that the underground base wasn"t as lifeless, but it was even more lively than the wilderness. In the building, behind the shelter, the living corpses wandered aimlessly. Ordinary living corpses had very small sensing ranges, and their sensing patterns were also quite behind. Only the butcher and the Ripper, through their special methods, could detect the existence of Carrion and her.
In his eyes, there were too many living corpses at this base, and this was only the second base. In the bases below, there were even more powerful mutated beasts everywhere. Furthermore, Valkyrie sensed a tyrannical will resting in the depths of the base.
Now that she and Caelio were able to enter the base, it was because the powerful will seemed to have attracted the attention of other things, thus ignoring the perception of things outside the base. Valkyrie could only hope that it was not the zero unit that had attracted the attention of the strong will.
"Chief instructor, I"m not being blunt. "A dangerous base like the Cossacks is not suitable for the new army camp to take part in the graduation examination. For a place like this, even the regular army would find it hard to retreat safely, not to mention the rookies in the new army camp." The magnetic, yet ice-cold voice of Valkyrie rang out.
Carío turned around and looked at her strangely: "Isn"t this the decision of your headquarters?" "I only temporarily changed the a.s.sessment mission after receiving your orders …"
Valkyrie"s pupils contracted slightly, and suddenly the G.o.ddess of war stopped. Caelio didn"t have the ability to stop when she said that, so under the force of inertia, he flew a hundred meters and then stopped and walked back.
"What"s the problem?" "Don"t tell me that the headquarters never made such a decision?"
Valkyrie"s eyes flashed with cold killing intent. She lowered her voice and said, "Looks like someone is plotting something behind our backs. "Respected Instructor Kalio, all we know is that you have applied for a quest change email. Saul did not question your decision, but he did not expect that someone would use our trust to make such an arrangement."
"This is a conspiracy!" With him at the center, a wave of energy swept through the s.p.a.ce of the base, nearly a kilometer square. "Asgard has been at peace for too long, and this kind of false peace has dulled our senses. But we were completely unaware that the dagger for our lives is already behind us! "
"Yes, this is a conspiracy. Add to that the false orders you received, and you can imagine that they were all done by the same person. "But who could it be?"
"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 G.o.ddess 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 a.n.a.lyzing 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 p.r.i.c.kling sensation appeared on Zero"s back. He turned with a cautious, subtle movement. Behind him was a G.o.ddess 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 G.o.ddess 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! "
