Chapter 50

Sue had a confused dream.

In her dream, she was chasing after the adulterer who had betrayed her father.

Sue was running along a gray road lined by crooked old trees and pointed grey-white houses.

Strange figures were watching her silently from behind the trees and the house.

Though he could hear nothing, he knew they were laughing at him.

Up ahead, the figure walked slowly and unhurriedly.

However, no matter how much he increased his speed, he would never be able to catch up to this shadow.

Anger and self-blame filled Su Su's mind. In her dream, she let out a shrill cry. Her one-handed sword flashed in her hand and a silver light shot out like a javelin towards that person's back.

The figure in front slowly turned his head around, and his face changed to Zero's.

The sword entered Zero's body, causing blood to instantly appear on his thin body.

"No!"

Sue cried out in alarm.

The dream disappeared. Su Ming opened his eyes and looked like he was in the middle of a burning red sky.

She sat up, sweat mixing with blood, making Sue feel sticky.

The last scene before he fainted was the Spider Queen sending a powerful sonic boom towards him.

Upon thinking of this monster, Su Ming's eyes began to focus on it.

She found herself sitting under the track, next to Zero, who was leaning against the wall of the platform, looking very weak.

She wanted to move her body, but as soon as she moved, the blood vessel tissue that was destroyed by the sonic boom mixed with blood once more.

She let out a soft groan, and Zero's ears twitched. When he heard Sue's voice, he opened his eyes.

In the field, the Spider Queen was gone.

But the irregular mass of flesh and blood, the internal organs and the broken shells, made the shadow of the monster faintly visible.

The old drunk was poking his way through the Spider Queen's body, but he didn't know what he was looking for.

"You killed him?"

He had never been able to link the fact that he was weaker than the mercenary group to the fact that he had killed the Spider Queen.

His ears had not yet recovered from the destruction of the sonic boom. To his ears, the sound of his voice was a meaningless note.

But from the shape of her mouth, he understood what she meant.

He nodded and continued, "Apparently, the tissue of that thing is not as sturdy as the surface of its body."

With that, Zero closed his eyes again.

He was weak. The Spider Queen's sonic booms had damaged nearly half of his blood vessels, and in the final explosion, at least three of his ribs had been broken. His internal organs had also been damaged or displaced to varying degrees.

Fortunately, he was not only a Monster Hunter, he was also an expert on battlefield first aid. He had already given Zero a simple treatment.

For the time being, it wouldn't die, but it would take at least a week to recover.

The more troublesome part was his zero eardrums. After receiving the Spider Queen's sonic boom, he was almost half deaf. It was quite difficult for him to recover by relying on his own body.

But at this level, it's not hard to repair a damaged eardrum, as long as you can afford it.

Zero relaxation of the body, this state is conducive to the body self-recovery.

To his surprise, Zero's self-recovery ability was surprisingly strong.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the middle of the moon, and most of Zero's wounds were already mostly healed.

The damaged blood vessels and tissue had been repaired once again. There were at least a hundred thin wounds on his body, and only pink flesh gaps remained.

If he were to take the X-ray now, he would find that the broken ribs were basically fixed, and the scars on them would completely disappear in two or three days.

Now all that remained was hearing problems in the ears. It would probably take some time to recover.

Even so, such a fast recovery rate surprised Zero.

This made him think of Hans, but Hans recovered even faster.

He pushed himself up against the wall. He could walk on his own legs, though he was not yet capable of strenuous exercise.

On the other hand, the wound on the woman's body hadn't even closed yet, and blood still seeped out from time to time.

After saying that, Su Su was surprised, "You are also proficient at super fast regeneration in the fighting area?"

Apparently he had never heard of this ability, so he shook his head.

Leaving Su Bai confused, Lingcun put down the bottle and walked towards the old drunkard who was sitting beside a fire in the track.

"If you don't come out, you'll be able to move around. It's good to be young."

Ben came over to Zero and threw a bottle at him.

Zero shook his head. Drinking with injuries was not a good thing.

He tossed the bottle back to Ben, who took a swig without a care, then coughed violently.

When he sat down, the old drunk pulled out a package from the side.

Although it was a package, it was in fact Ben's trench coat. It was just that it was wrapped up with some items.

Ben opened it. Inside were fragments of the Spider Queen's body, and God knows what the drunks were collecting them for.

Ben took out two or three items and pushed them to the ground in front of him. They were fragments of the empress's shell, a piece of skin, and two eyes.

Seeing Zero's confused look, Ben couldn't help but laugh out loud and pat them, "Take them. These are good stuff."

The old drunk pointed to the hard shell. "It's as hard as composite armor, but it's more compact and lighter."

You can have the craftsman process it into a dagger, and the sharpness can easily pierce a steel plate. "

As for the other two, they had their own values, such as the Queen's soft tissue fragments.

The flexibility of this thing is obvious, this recommendation zero process it into a bulletproof vest.

That empress's eyeballs didn't have any special function, but after the monster died, the crystal in her eyeballs showed signs of hardening, causing them to emit a mysterious red glow like gemstones.

The eyeballs could be sold to gem merchants, Ben told Zero. They would be more than willing to pay ten thousand or more.

Luxury goods always exist in any age.

If zero can turn this pair of eyes into exquisite jewellery, their value will increase by tenfold.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to have the spare time and craftsmanship.

Two eyeballs already exceeded the mission's original reward, which was already too much of a surprise to Zero.

He suddenly realized that, no matter what the time, knowledge was wealth.

"I'm leaving."

After handing these items to Zero, Ben picked up the package and patted his ass.

Zero didn't ask where he was going, only that it was a pity.

If he could, he also wanted to learn about Monster Hunters from this old drunk.

But he didn't have the right to keep people in check, so he just stood up and handed Colt to Ben.

With this long-barreled sniper rifle, he shook his head and said to Zero, "I'll give you this gun."

Zero asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Because I'm old and it's young."

Ben stroked the barrel of Colt's spear with his palm and said, "You've used it well. I think this old fellow will regain his former glory by following you."

"Right, I'll give you this as well."

Ben fished out a crumpled notebook and tossed it to Zero.

"This is my diary. It records the habits and value of most mutated beasts."

There are also some odds and ends. If you like it, you can burn it, if you don't like it. "

After saying that, Ben threw the bag onto his shoulder and then slowly left the field with the bottle in his hand, disappearing into Zero's eyes.

To him, the value of the diary, which he tucked into his jacket, was far more valuable than what the Institute had given him.

Perhaps Colt would be an exception.

He still remembered the feeling of firing a Colt, the roar and wildness of the bullet as it left the chamber, even more so than the M500.

His hand caressed the butt of the rifle, and he could feel the marks on his fingertips. Under the moonlight, he could see a line of English carved on the butt of the gun.

My Corte, you are the sickle of death!
