Gate of Apocalypse

Nicole slowly woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.

“You're awake.” The heavenly lazy voice rang behind her.

Nicole sat up quickly and saw Tian Li lying halfway by her side, her head resting against the back of the bed, pouring a bottle of spirits into her mouth.

What he had in his hand was a bottle of SpirytusRektyfikowany, a Polish vodka of 96% alcohol, nicknamed Water of Life, which could hardly be called "wine” anymore.

Even in Russia, where alcohol is so lifelike, this stuff is just the base wine when you mix it, no one ever drinks it directly.

And the heavenly mouth swallowed like it was drinking water!

By his side, several empty bottles of wine had been poured down, and several bottles of water of the same life, which had not been opened on the nightstand next to him, were also identical.

But what makes Nicole even more concerned is not the spirit she is drinking, but the surrounding environment.

They were still lying on their beds with an old television set in front of them.

The closet next to it was open, and the stone was emitting a brisk green light.

In the corner of the room, a hanger is erected.

Here... obviously the previous room!

“Failed?” Nicole frowned and rolled out of bed, facing the sky: “The two guys lied to you? ”

The sky shrugged its shoulders, still pouring wine into its mouth and not talking.

“Why didn't you wake me up?” Nicole looks cold at the sky: “Bring so much wine in your storage gear? I didn't know you liked drinking so much. ”

“I'm not interested in this stuff. I just went out and picked this up.” Tian Li blew a bottle dry, hit a hiccup, and gently placed the bottle on the nightstand: “I'm sorry to wake you because you slept so well. Girls cannot afford more sleep if they want good skin. Don't you understand? Do you Angel Corps women live so rough? ”

“Where did you get all that crap?” Nicole snorted coldly and turned to the bedroom door: “You can stay here and have a drink, I'll go myself. ”

Heavenly grinned and made a gesture of convenience.

Nicole saw him still lazily lying in bed, groaned and opened the door.

Since there's no way to get to Zero City, let's just find another way. Search through other channels of information between awakeners, and perhaps find other news about Zero City.

But Nicole just opened the door and stood still.

When she came in, she remembered clearly that outside the original door of this room, it should be the living room.

But now the living room is gone!

In front of her is a fragmented wall of rubble that has been thoroughly destroyed!

Just in front of the door is the remains of a sentry armor, with only half a limb remaining.

Further afield are more destroyed combat equipment, and…

corpses!

Mostly intact, half of it is missing, even only fragments that are difficult to distinguish...

Nearly all the surrounding buildings have collapsed and no one has been found and remains intact.

A three-story building just in front of it, half of the signs hanging on it were nailed above the gate and the other half landed underground.

The neon lights on it have been completely extinguished, but you can still see five words rarely:

Barrett Restaurant.

This was Nicole's favorite restaurant before.

In Zero City.

“That shop, very lucky. Their storerooms have not been smashed. ”

Tian Li did not know when he appeared silently behind Nicole.

“You...” Nicole turned back violently and glanced at the sky violently: “We've reached Zero City, why didn't you tell me?! ”

“Isn't it interesting to find out for yourself?” Heaven smiled: “I woke up with this joy that ranged from disappointment to surprise and couldn't be so selfish to deprive you. ”

Nicole took a deep breath and forcibly restrained herself from calling out plankton angels to fight this nasty guy hard.

“I'm waiting for you to leave.” Tian Li's hands were behind his back and he looked down at Nicole from behind: “How long are you going to stand at the door? ”

“You smell like alcohol.” Nicole glanced at the sky and walked out.

Nicole looked back as she stepped outside.

Looking out the door, this room looks like it's right next to the street. But after stepping out the door, the room could no longer be seen behind it, only half the walls had been destroyed.

“After all, it's the back door. You have to hide it. Just remember where we are.” The sky came out of the wall and saw what Nicole was thinking.

“Now that we've reached Zero City, let's go. You go to your friends, I'll go to mine.” Nicole whispered.

“Sure. But where's your friend? ”

Nicole was stunned by intense questioning.

Yeah, where is it?

Much time has clearly passed since the ruins and corpses of this battle filled the ground.

The surroundings were quiet, whether it was a human voice or an explosion, and there was no sound coming.

The fighting has been over for a long time.

Where else would there be a living person?

The Senate?

Arena?

Angel Legion headquarters?

Nicole realized that she had always wanted to go back to Zero, but had never really figured out how to get information.

“Forget it. Come with me.” Heavenly Haha smiled and walked down the street: “If Chen is truly trapped in Zero City, there will be no other awakeners alive in this city. Follow me and go find him. ”

“Find the day? The leader of the Thorn Blossom? Aren't you afraid I'll kill him and avenge my people?” Nicole Coldway.

He turned his head sharply and stared wide-eyed at Nicole, looking like an idiot.

Nicole straightened her waist bar and looked at the sky with no retreat.

For a long time, Tian Li sighed softly and shook his head: “I'm glad I'm the only one who heard this. I hope... next time we can see Chen, don't say that kind of bullshit in front of him again, please don't. Listen, I don't care what the bloody Angel Corps pride is in your heart, but... life matters. ”

Seeing Nicole's eyes stitched up, her eyes glistened and her hands stretched out, pinching Nicole's neck and pressing her against the wall behind her.

He moved so fast that Nicole couldn't even react to escape and was strangled to death.

Nicole blushed and quickly summoned the plankton, hovering behind the sky. The energy cannon opened and pointed at his back, but did not immediately fire.

“Listen, little plankton angel.” Tianli ignored the threat of plankton behind her, but let her palms loosen slightly, lowering her voice: “You may think you're brave, but what you just said has nothing to do with bravery. It's stupid, reckless, naive, ignorant, but never brave!

With my strength right now, if I want to kill you, I can do it with a few minor injuries at most. But the strength of Chen, I've never even touched his bottom. But I can say responsibly that he wants to kill you without even having to sweat half a drop!

You don't know why I don't want you to come with me, and now I don't want you to move freely! It's because I'm afraid of you wandering around and crashing into the sun, you know!

Even though I have been separated from the thorny blossom, at least I have a personal relationship with Chen, which is... half a friend. In my face, he will not kill you. But if you still go crazy like that when you see him, I'm not sure I can keep you, okay? ”

This is the first time that Tian Li has spoken so violently to Nicole.

After that, he let go, but still stared at Nicole: “You just want to know where the Zero City survivors are. I'm not sure Chen knows about this either. If he knows, I'll let him tell you, and then you get the hell out of here. He used to go through some bottom with me, and his goal was Zero City, not you Zero Citizens. As long as you don't do anything to annoy him or stop him from reaching the goal he wants, he won't kill you at will. ”

At the moment when Tian Li let go of her hand, Nicole immediately bounced, but did not immediately summon plankton to arm herself, but hurriedly gasped, her chest could not hold ups and downs.

“That's all I have to say. It's not intimidation, it's not threats, it's just telling you one of the most basic facts.” The heavens sighed softly: "Don't feel humiliated. Real humiliation is not about recognizing the power gap between oneself and others, but rather about being able to see and not admit it. ”

“I know…” Nicole gasped for a long time and looked up at the sky: “Thank you for your instruction, Thorn Blossom Cruiser, Mr. Tian Li. ”

“Look!” Tian Wei continued to glance at Nicole and the serious expression just now suddenly disappeared, smiling and blowing a whistle: “Women are women. Even if the heart knows the truth, whenever it doesn't suit its own mind, it always starts to get angry. ”

“Am I upset?” Nicole Coldway.

“Of course not.” Heavenly grin: “I mean, only women have this kind of illness. And you're not a woman in my heart. I'm praising you, little plankton angel. ”

After that, Tian Li turned around and continued to walk towards the end of the street.

“Thank you very much.” Nicole calmly followed Heavenly Martial by three steps.

Tian Li slowly walked in the street, looking around from time to time. Nicole followed him and her eyebrows grew wrinkled.

“Can you... go faster? ”

Tian Li turned his head and looked at Nicole with amazement: "Why should I... go faster? ”

“Aren't you in a hurry?” Nicole whispered: “You said Tatsune was your friend, right? It took you so long to get to Zero City just to find him. Why can't you hurry now? ”

“You make a lot of sense.” Tian Li nodded seriously: “In that case, please show us the way, and then we'll run fast to find Chen, okay? ”

“How do I know where he is?” Nicole rolled her eyes.

“Oh - so you don't know where he is.” Heavenly face suddenly enlightened: “Then guess what, do I know? ”

“You!” Nicolette realized as she mocked herself and glared furiously at him.

“Look, since we don't even know where he is, what can we do without a target? Wandering around like this, I might run into him next second.” Heavenly smile: “Hey, I see here... it was a commercial street, wasn't it? ”

“Mmm.” Ni said with her nose.

“Nice. Speaking of which, I've never been shopping.” Tian Wei grinned and held his back brain with both hands: “Why don't you walk with me? ”

“Shopping?! Are you out of your mind?” Nicole stares wide at the sky: “Are you in a place like this... shopping? ”

Surrounded by broken walls, there are traces of explosions, covered with blood and corpses.

It was supposed to be a bustling neighborhood, but now it only smells like death.

“Why not?” Tian Feng smiled: “I wasn't going to pay for anything anyway, just think of it as a pastime. Since you are a member of the Angel Legion and are based in Zero City, what was it like here? ”

“Of course.” Nicole nodded.

“Let's start here.” The sky stretches out its hand at will, pointing to a collapsed building by the road: “What is this place? ”

“This is a traveler's house, a hotel, and besides offering accommodation, their restaurant's red wine is the best you can find here.” Nicole swept through the building and remembered it in her head, flying fast: “This is a Rodria estate. ”

“Well, killed six of them.” Tian Feng nodded and slowed down, simply letting Nicole walk in front of herself: “What about this pile? ”

“Corrugated tavern. Their boss is one of the peripheral dependants of the Knife Mountain Volcano and has the ability to do the same, but he also has permanent residency in the Zero City because he holds a thigh. Their house is marked with wheat wine, but there are also many people who like their blueberry pies. ”

“Knives and mountains and seas don't deal much, it seems like only two people have been killed. This pile?”

“Reddy's Cafe, the entire Zero City, is home to only the finest Blue Mountains for a long time. But... their toast is hard as a stone, and the badger is soft as a eunuch. Knights of Darkness subordinate industry. ”

“Well, I remember a guy on their team called... Jacob's. He's not bad enough to get away from me.” Heaven suddenly turned his head and looked up and down at Nicole: “I said," You know how soft the eunuch is? ”

“If you want my introduction, shut up.” Nicole glanced across the sky, ignoring his tone, and continued to introduce the ruins of the next bunch of stores.

The two of them walked forward, and Nicole spoke to Heaven all the way. Gradually, in her mind, the commercial street that had been turned into rubble in front of her seemed to have returned to its original form.

Tian Li only walked behind Nicole's back slowly, listening to her all the way through, and only when Nicole mentioned the name of the team in Zero City would she understate that she had killed several of them.

“That's pretty much it for the South Side. If you go any further, it's... the beach.” Nicole hesitated for a moment and didn't say the name Love Sea.

“Hmm.” Tianxiang nodded, wondering what he was thinking.

“You said you've never been shopping before. Is that true?” Nicole looked over her face and looked at the sky.

“It's not an honorable thing to lie to you?” Heavenly eyes flipped.

“Why?”

“Why? Because of poverty, of course!” Heavenly Haha laughs: “Before you become an awakener, you have to work hard every day from morning to night to earn a little wage, barely breathe, nightmare, where can you have the money and time to go shopping? As for being an awakener... how can you be in the mood to shoot and kill every day? Besides, I'm alone. What's there to see? And the guys in the thorn blossom, players and awakeners alike, couldn't help but get as far away from me as possible. ”

Nicole glanced up at the sky: “So... is that why you want to go shopping? ”

“No.” He shook his head violently: “It was just a sudden tide. Come on, let's go. ”

“To where? ”

“Tell me about your Zero City layout before I know where to go. You know all the information, especially those classified locations.” Tian Wei glanced at Nicole: “What makes me think that your brain is running out? ”

“You want to spy on Zero City intelligence?” Nicole frowned.

Heaven slapped heavily on his forehead, sending a painful groan: "Heaven - little plankton angel, what is wrong with you? Can't you see everything? Zero is doomed! Totally destroyed! Have you ever heard of someone who would go to great lengths to probe the weakness of a dead man and study how to kill him? ”

Nicole had realized she had said the wrong thing long before her voice went down, but when she heard the bitterness of heaven, she glared at him coldly.

Nor does she know why, when she is with this former enemy, she always subconsciously commits stupid acts.

Nicole squatted down, floating over her right arm, stretched out a short metal blade and painted it on the ground.

“This is Central Square, usually the main entrance transfer point into and out of Zero City, right here.

Extending from Central Square, four main roads are divided into four directions: East, South, West, North.

We are now located in the South Side, which is the business district. The shops here are basically living facilities such as hotels and restaurants. We walked roughly once just now, but didn't see Chen. As for love... he wouldn't be all right to wander around the beach if he wanted to come.

The West Side and the North Side are commercial districts, only one is a flea market where awakeners sell their own equipment and the other… is an official shop in Zero City. In both areas, the likelihood of touching the sun is also low.

Well, there's only the East Side left. The official agencies of Zero City, as well as the headquarters of the permanent team, are located there. ”

Nicole made a brief map and eventually dotted a little bit on the east side with a metal blade: "We have the best chance of finding Chen. ”

“Official agency? Including your Angel Corps quarters?” Tian Wei simply swept the map and raised his eyes to ask Nicole.

“Angel Legion, as the policing agency of Zero City, is the core department, and of course it is there.” Nicole nodded.

“Interesting… let's go there later. I was called an angel killer, and one day I would walk to their headquarters under an angel, and I had no idea that would happen.” Tian Feng laughed: “What other institutions besides the permanent teams and Angel Legion's own sites? ”

“There are not too many buildings. Importantly, there are three --

Arbitration Center, where disputes arise between awakeners and are willing to submit to Zero City for decision.

Arena, private and team grievances are resolved when Zero City rulings are not accepted. In addition, the bloodshed was held there.

The Presbyterian Church, the seven core resident teams where day-to-day affairs are discussed, and the head of Zero City are also here. ”Nicole said, looking up at the sky:“ I think it must be the Senate where you're going. ”

“Nice, you finally got your intelligence back on track. ”

Heavenly grin: "Lead the way, take me, the former Thorn Blossom Cruiser, to your Zero City Senate! Dear plankton angel! ”
