Chapter 80: The Beginning of Everything (5,000-word chapter)
Desolate Siberia is a world of ice and snow. It is early spring, but in the spring of Siberia there is only white snow, covering the towering tree crowns.
Most of the animals shuttled on the ground covered with ice and snow, while a small number of animals had stored their energy for winter as early as the previous year and were now sleeping peacefully in some unknown cave.
A railway passed through this forest, leaving some human imprints on this endless land.
Two small figures were walking along the railway. They were wearing thick cotton coats with fur cuffs and hoods. Their little faces were red with cold, and they were exhaling white steam.
After Zero and Renata left Black Swan Port, they took a sleigh to Moscow. Some unpleasant things happened during the period, so they planned to go to the destination they had planned.
The neighbor to the south of Mao Xiong is Huaxia with a pleasant climate.
But Mao Xiong is currently in social turmoil, and the train from Moscow to Vladivostok has been suspended for several days. It is not known when it will be restored, so No. 0 used his clever mind to come up with a brilliant idea:
"Let's walk along the railroad."
If Renata had any common sense or had less trust in Zero, she would feel that her master had gone crazy.
Of course, in fact, Number Zero is almost crazy.
All in all, Renata did not complain, but embarked on a suicidal hiking trip with Zero, starting from Moscow, passing through the vast virgin forests of Siberia, and finally reaching China.
Twenty years later, what these two people did might move the world, and they would be named environmental saints or something like that.
Along the way, Renata saw Zero's powerful banknote ability. This boy who looked like an elf and a devil took out stacks of dollar bills from his pocket and used the green paper to confuse people's hearts and get what they needed.
everything of.
After the red giant came to an end, these green banknotes became more useful than anything else. Past honors were worthless, and two banknotes could buy a medal collected by an old man.
After obtaining enough supplies, the trip became extremely smooth. With the strong survival ability of the hybrid species, the two of them were fearless even in the primeval forests of Siberia.
Renata walked step by step along the railroad ties, trying to land on the ties every time she landed, as if she were playing a game of skipping grid.
The gap between the sleepers was a bit large, which made it difficult for little Renata to walk. However, Renata was a little lost when she thought of Zero saying that she would not grow any more because she signed a contract with him.
For a fourteen-year-old child, not growing up is not a good thing. For example, for Renata, her legs will never grow longer.
Thinking back to the scene when she signed the contract, a blush crept up Renata's indifferent face. The gangster Zero said he was signing the contract, but in fact he just kissed her.
Renata turned her head and looked at the boy next to her. He was walking on the railroad track, trying to keep his balance on the railroad track. It could be seen that he was walking very steadily, like a skilled circus performer.
"How long...how long will it take for us to arrive?"
Renata asked. This journey had lasted for more than a month. The two children were walking alone in the ice and snow, which made Renata feel a little depressed.
"Don't worry, it will be soon."
Zero showed an inexplicable smile, and it took Renata a long time to figure out the meaning of that smile.
The next second, a violent roar and fire exploded in front of Renata's eyes. She felt her brain tremble, and with dizziness, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Looks like there are bugs trying to disrupt our trip."
Zero held her tightly in his arms, and Renata watched as the marked cannonballs exploded on Zero's head, making his face dim and unclear.
"Do you like it? These are fireworks for you."
Zero whispered in Renata's ear, he roughly held Renata's body in his arms, and stretched his other hand up to the sky, making a virtual grasping gesture.
The explosion of the shell stopped in an instant, and the huge flames and impact disappeared peacefully, as if being erased from the sky by a hand with an eraser.
At an artillery position five thousand meters away from the two men, an artillery unit from the Bear Country was preparing for the next salvo.
In this chaotic era, these former soldiers sold their dignity, whether it was a tank or an airplane, as long as they had money, they were willing to sell it.
The secret party hired this army, which was not rich in the first place, and asked them to point their cannons at their own country. However, these soldiers thought that they were just a group of capitalist fools who hired them to fire cannons just to make a sound.
The artillerymen were telling jokes while unscrupulously consuming the ammunition left by the huge industrial system. These people were told that there was no one at that location, only some wild animals and a railway, and that the Americans would compensate for all the shells.
Broken facilities.
Zero and Renata were wrapped in the mud and smoke splashed by the shells, enjoying the march composed by these murderous weapons.
Those flying cannonballs couldn't get close, and the cone-shaped cannonballs were blocked by the invisible wall of air, exploding into fireworks in mid-air.
These mortal creations could not help a god, but in order to protect Renata, Zero was also slowed down by the shells and could not escape from the bombing.
This situation is exactly what the secret party wants to see, use these shells to consume Zero's energy, and then use Kungunir to deliver a fatal blow to it.
On a position two kilometers away from Zero, Lu Lincheng was sitting there, arranging his equipment. Wearing snow camouflage, he was carrying a long suitcase, which contained the information for this operation.
Important props: Odin’s spear: Kungunir.
Next to him was a dark-skinned Indian who, like him, was the trump card of this operation.
This Indian’s name is Kupata Narayanan. According to the Hindu caste system, he is considered a Dalit independent of the four major castes. He was born in a slum in Mumbai. His ancestors made a living by picking up garbage. He belongs to the bottom of the bottom.
.
In the past, Cupata was a dark and thin boy, wearing tattered clothes, and he and his father rummaged through the smelly garbage dumps to find food for them to survive.
Cupata's childhood was filled with all kinds of garbage, until his father was beaten to death by several bullies on a garbage heap.
Dalits are not without distinctions between superiors and inferiors. Those bullies are regarded as superiors among Dalits, and they live off the protection money of other scavengers.
That night, his father's blood stuck to Cupata's hands, and the red liquid blurred his vision.
Those bullies only saw the erratic golden vertical eyes in the dark night, and then they died in the garbage dump, their hearts being torn out by Cupata.
Then, the Commissioner of the Indian Enforcement Department discovered Kupata sleeping among the corpses. If it hadn't been for a detailed test that showed that he had no blood problems, this child in the slum would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
The next life.
So, the child came to the United States, and he was assigned a teacher to teach him English and other knowledge. In a test, the swarming flames allowed the secret party to determine his speech spirit.
It was a powerful word spirit called Rhine that Meneke Cassel had activated.
Kupata Narayanan, this untouchable, an A-level hybrid who came out of the slums, has become the most deadly weapon in the secret party.
Now, he is sitting there, sorting out the equipment given by his friend Akadulla. After graduating from college, Kupata joined the equipment department and even started to believe in Zoroastrianism under the leadership of Akadulla.
In the words of this candidate for the Minister of Equipment, Kupata has the most enviable spirit of speech among all members of the Equipment Department, and the ultimate meaning of life is to turn into a huge bomb.
What's more romantic than having a huge explosion?
Cupata stroked the special protective clothing on his body. In Akadulla's words, this clothing could ensure his safety in an explosion.
"So you can do it again."
Cupata still can't forget Akadulla's excited eyes.
The sound of gunfire outside the camp gradually stopped, Lu Lincheng and Cupata stood up, and it was time to hunt the hybrids.
"You stay here, I'll take the first step."
Lu Lincheng stood up with the box in hand. He knew clearly what would happen if Rhine used it. Cupata would turn into a plume of black smoke in the sea of fire, and not even ashes would be left.
"No, you stay here, it's my turn."
Cupata's dark and slender arms stopped Lu Lincheng. He turned around and walked out of the tent, setting off with a small team. The target was No. 0, which was stuck in the gunfire.
Sometimes, sacrifice is necessary. Even if Ender adjusts his plan, he can't stop his heart that wants to be a hero.
In Cupata's heart, it was Kassel Academy that gave him life, and now he will play his greatest role and become a bomb that can seriously injure the Dragon King.
Lu Lincheng watched his comrades leave the camp one by one to go off to the fatal war. His heart was unmoved. Dragon slaying required sacrifice, and the secret party's masters were never afraid of death. It was not them who died anyway.
Zero had withstood another round of explosions. The surrounding woods were shaken by shells, and huge craters appeared on the ground. The snow melted into turbid liquid and flowed into the craters.
Zero panted slightly, Renata supported his body, his golden eyes burned like flames, staring at the group of soldiers that appeared in front of him.
They wore special protective clothing, and the rifles in their hands were unexpectedly huge. The next second, a wall of bullets rushed towards Zero.
Those bullets gradually slowed down halfway, and then were blended together by unknown forces to form a huge metal ball.
"Dodgeball time!"
Following Zero's childish instructions, the metal ball drew an arc and rushed towards a commissioner. The huge momentum caused his body to be torn apart in an instant.
The remaining commissioners were not frightened by the death of their companions. They fired wildly. In the blind corner of Zero's vision, several commissioners, together with Cupata, were quietly approaching Zero.
A commissioner hugged Cupata, his voice was Setsuna, and his only role in this operation was to deliver Cupata, the human bomb, to the Dragon King.
Several smoke bombs flew out and the surroundings became hazy. Cupata felt like he was being picked up and moved at an extraordinary speed.
Setsuna can allow the user to gain extraordinary speed, but holding a person into the state of Setsuna is too difficult for a specialist. Cupata could see that the specialist's facial features were overflowing with blood.
This was a suicide attack, and for both Cupata and the commissioner, they were destined to never return.
In the man's arms, Cupata recited the dragon inscriptions recorded in his blood, and the flames gathered towards this untouchable child, making him the king of flames.
The violent acceleration lasted for a moment, and Cupata felt like he was being thrown to the ground. The flames finally gathered in one place, and an explosion occurred.
In the eyes of others, the attack was very successful. The commissioner held Cupata and approached Zero within a few seconds, and then a powerful explosion destroyed everything around him.
In the flames, Cupata finally saw his target, the boy who stood like a king. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly, turned his back to Cupata, and built a wall of flesh and blood for the girl.
Cupata's body was burned by flames. He was at the center of the explosion, where the temperature was even hotter than the sun indicated.
The flames licked his body, but the protective suit given to him by Akadura worked. A red light appeared on the protective suit, making Cupata float like a flat boat in the sea of fire.
What Cupata didn't know was that the maker of this dress was not Akadura, but Ender. He added a protective energy damage to it, allowing Cupata to survive the sea of fire.
"Why do you do this?"
Angers once asked Ander.
"This guy made good lamb masala, I don't want him to die yet."
Cupata didn't know that his experience of helping out in the cafeteria saved his life now, but the deeper reason was that Ender didn't want the people in Angers to die like this.
This untouchable child is very talented. In time, he may not be able to become the next Menike Cassel, but some school directors hope to strangle him in the cradle.
Angers is desperate to kill the dragon, Ender can't let him be alone.
Cupata was knocked aside by the strong shock wave, fell hard into a crater, and passed out.
And Zero was holding Renata, his back was blood red, revealing wounds that were deep enough to see the bones, and his lungs could be vaguely seen trembling continuously.
Renata felt some kind of warm liquid leaving the back of her neck. She didn't look up because Zero told her not to do anything, just hold him tight.
In the smoke, accompanied by the roar of the helicopter, Lulin City fell from the sky. He looked at the seriously injured Zero. Cupata's voice spirit was not as powerful as Kassel's back then, but it was equally deadly to the dragons.
Lulincheng held a spear in his hand, and the runic letters on the gun's head flashed red.
Blood flows along the gun body, which is a necessary condition for using Kungunir. Just like Odin sacrificed himself to gain knowledge, people who want to use God's weapons need to sacrifice their own blood.
Lulincheng lifted Kungunir and made a standard javelin posture, while Zero pushed Renata away, letting her roll down on the rails and curl up into a ball.
"Come on! Is this your trump card? A broken gun?"
Zero provoked arrogantly, while Lu Lincheng threw Kungunir without saying a word.
Kungunir, covered in blood, flew toward Zero's heart in an unscientific trajectory. This was a sure-shot gun. Once thrown, it would definitely pierce the enemy's heart.
Lulincheng felt that the surrounding air became thicker, as if he was submerged in the water, and Kungunil's flight also became slower. Under Zero's order, the surrounding air desperately stopped Kungunil's flight.
.
Zero's hands were spread wide open, as if he was wrestling with something, but he ignored Lu Lincheng beside him.
Some kind of change appeared in this man. The originally warm blood was now boiling like lava, and the golden eyes were burning. As the violent blood started, Lu Lincheng broke free from the shackles of No. 0 on him.
He rushed towards Zero, grabbed Kungunil's gun body tightly, and stabbed towards Zero with all his strength. Lulincheng knew that he was close to running out of fuel at this time, so he only needed to stab Kungunil into his gun.
Heart, it's all over.
Second bloodshed·!
Lu Lincheng's solid muscles continued to deliver power, and Kungunir's gun tip approached Zero's chest little by little, but it was not fast enough.
Three times of bloodshed!
Lu Lincheng's body began to show signs of dragon transformation, and Kungunil had already worn through the cotton-padded clothes on No. 0's body.
Accompanied by the sound of some kind of flesh being torn and pierced, No. 0's body was lifted high, with an arrogant smile on his face, and Kungunir penetrated his chest and held his heart tightly
crucify.
"It's just...a sleep..."
Zero gently stroked the lines on Kungunir's gun and closed his eyes quietly. As he said, this was just a sleep.
"The contract is completed."
Following Number Zero's whisper, Lu Lincheng let go of Kungunil, fell to his knees and panted heavily. The dragon scales on his body gradually faded away, and he tilted his head and fainted.
At the same time, Lu Mingfei, who was far away in the United States, suddenly started crying for some reason and woke up Jovini who was sleeping.
The cry sounded extremely sad, as if the young Mingfei had lost something important.
Then his eyes suddenly opened, and in the darkness, Jovini saw the shining golden light.
A week later, Ender looked at the familiar figure in the ice cellar, with a strange-looking spear stuck in his chest, sleeping peacefully there.
Number Zero was hung on a cross, looking like the suffering Son in a religious painting.
"Where's the girl?"
Ander asked Angers next to him.
"She's staying with the enforcement department over at Mao Xiong, and she's undergoing a mental evaluation."
Ender looked at the child in front of him carefully and spoke again:
"Does it have to be like this? Who looks like Christian?"
A hint of fanaticism appeared on Ange's face: "You must show some respect to God. This is the first Dragon King we have sealed."
Ender snorted noncommittally, turned and left the ice cellar.
This is not the end, but the beginning of everything.
