Byron's Blade

The underwater world is mysterious and dangerous to human beings. Humans do not have the ability to survive in water, and water often becomes a murderous weapon that takes away human life.In scientific research on the origin of human beings, there is a saying that human beings came from water and evolved from marine organisms on land. The evidence is that some human organs were originally necessary for living in water, and then degenerated.Zooey thinks this statement is unreasonable, otherwise why doesn't she feel like a fish in water at all now?

All her life, she seemed to have a grudge against the deep sea, and the source of all her pain was related to water.

The water of the Rab River is not very fast, but it is surprisingly deep.She estimated that she had fallen to a depth of five or six meters.The river's silt content is too high, and the vision is very cloudy, and no fish can be seen. There are aquatic plants blocking the helmet goggles. She wanted to reach out to pull it, but she could only lie powerlessly on the bottom of the river in a weird posture.The oxygen level in the upper right corner of the goggles was decreasing at an alarming rate, and she felt that death was slowly approaching her.

The shield was carried behind her, but it became a burden in the water.When the incident happened suddenly, she did not remove her shield. When she dived into the water, it could be used as a load to help her dive, but now she is entangled in the bottom of the water by the mutated aquatic plants. The more she struggles, the tighter she is, and she cannot move at all. The shield doesn't work anymore.

She watched Dora and the female engineer fall into the water.The monster sensed the breath of humans entering the water, and immediately rushed over, the waves rolled over, and the bottom of the water could not be seen clearly.But when she entered the water, she smelled blood.Before she got entangled in the water plants, she had seen a human hand sinking slowly into the bottom of the river not far from her, with jagged cuts and strands of blood trailing out in the muddy yellow water.

She didn't know whose hand it was, she just felt the bone-chilling cold.

The water was icy cold, and the combat uniform couldn't resist the cold in the water. The severe cold invaded the skin and penetrated into the bone marrow, and she felt that the temperature of her whole body was slowly dropping.She activated the hidden airbags of her battle suit before entering the water.The first function of the hidden airbag is to lock the clothes on the upper body. Since there is a waterproof zipper between the combat uniform and the helmet, the function of the hidden airbag is to keep the upper body dry and prevent water from entering, otherwise it will affect the supply of the combat uniform. Oxygen function.So, so far, Zooey's upper body is dry, but her lower body is already drenched.

She doesn't dare to inflate the hidden airbag at all now, for fear that the hidden airbag will be strangled by these aquatic plants, and she will die faster.

She could only lie quietly at the bottom of the water, try to reduce her breathing rate and movements, and secretly try to create a chance for herself to escape while waiting for rescue.She was trying her best to touch the knife bag on her waist, but unfortunately she was not in the right position and couldn't reach it.

Looking to his left hand side, he could vaguely see that big monster crawling motionless at the bottom of the water.Its back is about two or three meters above the water. Zoe estimated that this big guy might be three or four meters tall, and its body length is estimated to be seven to eight meters.It looks very similar to the field turtle she saw in the farmland when she was a child, but its mouthparts are completely different. Its mouthparts are vibrating like countless small tentacles, so it is more disgusting and more aggressive.

Zooey didn't know why the big guy was so quiet at the moment, and she didn't know what happened to Dora and the female engineer.Her life detector here showed they were still alive.It's just that she estimated that if there was no rescue, death would soon appear among them.Because she was sure that she saw a very fresh severed hand. The remaining sleeve on the arm was clearly Haiying's snow camouflage uniform. She didn't know whether that hand was left or right, but she vaguely remembered that there seemed to be no armband.If it's a left hand, it means that that hand belongs to a female engineer soldier. If it's a right hand, it's hard to say, both of them are possible.Because Zooey firmly remembered that Dora's left arm was tightly wrapped with Assassin's armband.

She tried again to reach the knife bag at her waist, but failed again, feeling that her arms were getting tighter and tighter, she was a little discouraged.Could it be that the old lady will die here?It's so frustrating.She was extremely angry and just wanted to vent.

With a slight "beep", it showed that the female engineer's source of life signal had disappeared. Zoe's heart trembled, and she didn't know what mood she was in.There is stinging pain, but fortunately there is, and it is more of a lament of sympathy and sympathy.In any case, the female engineer soldier has never been close to her, and Dora has been taken care of by her since she set off, and she is also Comrade Assassin, so she has given this little girl a little something, and I don't want her to just lose her hair.

Hey, what's going on with the little girl up to now?Although the female engineer died, it doesn't mean that the one with the broken arm must be the female engineer. Zoe's heart is still hanging.After thinking about it again, I am in such a miserable state, I can't protect myself, and I still have the mind to worry about others, it really is the heart of a Bodhisattva.

Lanlan, Xiaoni, Qiuyin... She silently recited the names of the girls she was familiar with, and the voices and smiles of each of them appeared in front of her eyes, thinking: You sister Zoe, I am going to die in this stinky water In the ditch, will you miss me?Thinking about it, I squeezed out two tears, and I was moved, but after a few seconds, I felt that I was quite boring.Women in Huajie have always been ruthless, and she herself doesn't have sincere feelings for these women. She is still pretending to be in this situation, and she seems to be used to this kind of exaggerated mental state.

Thinking of this, a figure who had been farewell for many years suddenly flashed in his mind, and Zoe's cynical face suddenly showed a lot of silence and nostalgia.

Sure enough, when people are dying, there will always be revolving lanterns, and those experiences that they once deliberately wanted to forget will also be remembered involuntarily.There is really nothing to recall about her gloomy childhood, even if she doesn't want to.It's just the figure of that person, she will never forget it, when she left, she also took away all the true feelings in her life, from now on Zooey will never be serious again.

In the northwest corner of Terry, the Northeast Wengcheng, there is the largest red light district in the Federation.And the most inferior street girls in the red light district, where the sea breeze blows, is blocked by the city wall, and the smell of salty, wet and rotten can not go away all year round.At the age of two, she was abandoned in such an environment. The person who picked her up was a street girl wearing a torn skirt and inferior cosmetics. She was just in her early 18s.

The most popular guests in the red light district are soldiers from the city of ice and snow in the west, where the clauses of military discipline against lewdness are ignored, and soldiers visiting the red light district are regarded as a symbol of power and strength.But in the Street Girls area, soldiers don't come here because they think it's dirty.This is a place visited by down-and-out adventurers. They have little money, but they are under the pressure of life and death because of years of outdoor adventures. In this area, pick a street girl who is pleasing to the eye to go in and do errands.Transactions are settled through banknotes. These low-level prostitutes are almost all black households, without bracelet IDs, and can only rely on banknotes to exchange daily necessities and rations with the gangsters who control the neighborhood.

Prostitutes are not allowed to raise children in the red light district, and no amount of money can exchange for milk powder and diapers. Zoe grew up wrapped in diapers cut from rags and ate rice cereal.She is a strange child, since she was a child.Her adoptive mother is too poor and not very good-looking, and there are not many customers who patronize her, so she becomes skinny and becomes even more unattractive, such a vicious circle.Little Zoe was just like her, skinny and skinny since she was a child.But it is a hard bone. The bone is so hard that it can explode with jaw-dropping power. When Zoe was three years old, she once lifted the entire iron bed to pick up the broken toys that fell under the bed, scaring her adoptive mother out of the bed. In a cold sweat.

Perhaps, the reason she was abandoned was because of this strange power.But the real reason, Zoe will never know.

When Zoe was a child, she was deeply impressed by her mother's old iron bed.She thought the bed was a ghost, and her mother wouldn't let her go to it, or even touch it.She was locked up in the narrow attic of the dilapidated apartment where her mother lived all day long. When her mother was doing business, she could clearly hear the movement downstairs.When she was about 6 years old, she understood what the movement was all about. She couldn't tell what it felt like, but she just felt out of breath, so scary, so depressing, so disgusting...

At the age of 8, she gradually became numb and began to be used to such things and became accustomed to them.After the adoptive mother is patronized by guests, she will help wash the sheets.

When she was 9 years old, her adoptive mother was entangled by rogue guests and was almost strangled to death. She took a kitchen knife and slashed the guest's head.That was her first murder.Killing was wonderful to her, as if something that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time was suddenly released.

The adoptive mother handled the corpse calmly, as if it was not the first time she had done this.And the kitchen knife was cleaned by her and hung on the wall of the small kitchen. Every time Zooey entered the kitchen, she would subconsciously take a look at it.The edge of the knife is curled, and the inferior kitchen knife is really not easy to use.

At the age of 10, her illiterate adoptive mother got a book from somewhere and began to teach Zoe how to read.Zoe remembered that it was a picture book, full of pornographic and violent content, her adoptive mother taught her very seriously, and Zoe also learned it very seriously, one word at a time, she learned 56 words, and later that book was A customer took it away, and the adoptive mother cried in despair when she found out.That was the first time Zoe saw her cry.

In the same year, her existence was finally exposed, and gangsters broke in, trying to take her away by force.The adoptive mother went crazy like a lioness, making a fuss in the apartment, and Zoe also went crazy with her. The mother and daughter worked together to kill seven or eight burly men who came to arrest them, and then the adoptive mother took her and started to flee.

They lived in Tibet for a year, hiding in the most seaside city in the Terui region. Their adoptive mother knows nothing, and they still can only earn a living with their old profession.But she would never let Zoe follow her old path. Zoe always wanted to go out to work and make money. Because of her brute strength, she became a poor porter in the large warehouse at the dock.Originally, such things as handling could be completely replaced by machinery, but Zoe's employment cost is much cheaper than buying a machine, and the operating efficiency is the same, so the warehouse owner thinks it is quite a bargain.

At the age of 12, Qiu's family found their hiding place, and the two fled to the fishing boat at the pier, but were caught up.In order to protect her, her adoptive mother was shot to death by her enemies, and she was pushed out before dying. Zoe fell into the water and almost died in the sea. Finally, she was picked up by a fishing boat and saved her life.

The scene when the adoptive mother died is vivid in my memory. For a long time, she couldn't cheer up and just lived like a walking dead.Her adoptive mother took away too much from her heart, and Zooey felt that it was really boring to be alive.But she never thought of going to die in the past. She bid farewell to the old fisherman who had saved her, carried her bag on her own, and headed south all the way to the City of Adventurers.In the end, he stayed in a red light street near Chudu.

She decided to be a protector and protect all the whores on this street.She bought tools at an iron and gold store, and she modified a large shield by herself. It was extremely heavy, and she liked to walk around the street with the shield on her back every day, and solved anyone who ran into trouble.She was a kid, with a maturity beyond her age, and she actually gained a firm foothold on this street just like that.The prostitutes who have been helped are willing to give her a little reward, and if she can't give money, she won't force it.She will also help the prostitutes who are very difficult. She has a very good relationship with the prostitutes here, and her temper has gradually become cynical, smooth and cheerful.

At the age of 14, she met a middle-aged woman with a terrible scar on her face. The woman asked her if she wanted to hang out with her?She can feed her, teach her to read and write, teach her more advanced martial arts.She asked the woman, if I follow you, prostitute on this street, can you protect me?

The woman nods.

So she worshiped her as a teacher, and since then embarked on an unknown path.

Now this road has come to an end, I tried my best teacher...I'm tired, I want to take a rest...Mom...I never called your mother before.... ..Is it too late to shout now.......

The oxygen level is not enough, her consciousness is getting farther and farther, more and more blurred, the mask is foggy, and the electronic screen is no longer working.She seemed to have hallucinations, delusion that she returned to the day when she lost her adoptive mother when she was 12 years old. She sank in the sea and slowly suffocated.A divine light appeared in front of my eyes, and a woman in plain white dress was descending from the sky, reaching out to her.

Mom... are you here to pick me up?

The author has something to say: I wrote it in a rather cryptic way, I believe everyone understands what Zoe went through.Assassins are all people with a very hard fate, and they are representatives of the working people.Someone complained before that Qiu Zheng had a bitter face, and he was always bitter and bitter.Well, in fact, not only Qiu Zheng has a bitter face, but many people in Assassin have a bitter face.If you go to the environment in the book, you will not be a happy face.Zoe is different, she is bitter, but she smiles, she is one type of people, but she won't be everyone.Some people are bitter and bitter, while others are smiling and pretending. This is just a personal choice of living conditions, and outsiders have no right to ask questions, let alone criticize them harshly.What's more, the hatred is bitter and the hatred is deep?Are you kidding me?Qiu Zheng's character is full of resistance factors. Her name is a combination of the words revenge and resistance. She is not bitter at all, but rather cool. She enjoys rebelling against revolution.
