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

"You're awake." Tianlie's lazily voice rang behind her.

Nicole sat up quickly and saw Tianlie lying halfway beside her, leaning against the back of the bed, and pouring a bottle of strong wine into her mouth.

What he was holding was a bottle of Spirytus Rektyfikowany, a vodka from Poland, with an alcohol concentration of 96%, nicknamed the Water of Life, and it can hardly be called "wine".

Even in Russia, which is full of alcoholism, this kind of thing is just the base wine for bartending, and no one will drink it directly.

And Tian Lie swallowed in big mouthfuls, it seemed like he was drinking water!

Several empty wine bottles had fallen down beside him, and there were a few bottles that were not opened on the bedside table next to him, which was also the same water of life.

But what Nicole cares more about was not Tian Lie who was drinking bounty, but the surrounding environment.

The two were still lying on the bed, with a shabby TV set in front of them.

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

In the corner of the room, a coat rack was erected.

This is clearly the same room as before!

"Failed?" Nicole frowned, turned over and got off the bed, facing Tianlie: "Those two guys have lied to you?"

Tianlie shrugged, still pouring wine into his mouth and not speaking.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Nicole looked at Tianlie coldly: "Bring so much wine in the storage equipment? I didn't know before, you like drinking so much."

"I don't have the interest in bringing this thing. This is what I picked up just now." Tianlie blew a bottle of wine, burped, and gently placed it on the bedside table: "Look at how sound you sleep, I'm sorry to wake you up. If a girl wants to have good skin, she must not lose enough sleep. If she doesn't even understand this principle, do the women of your Angel Legion live so rough?"

"Where do you get so much nonsense?" Nicole snorted coldly, turned to the bedroom door: "You can continue to stay here and drink, I'll leave myself."

Tianlie grinned and made a gesture of asking for advice.

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

Since you can't enter Zero City, you might as well find a way from other channels. Search and search through other information channels between the awakened ones, and you may be able to find other news about Zero City.

But just as soon as the door was opened, Nicole was stunned.

When she entered the door, she remembered clearly that the living room should be outside the door of this room.

But now, the living room has disappeared!

In front of her was a ruin that had been completely destroyed!

Not far from the front door was the wreckage of a sentry mecha, with only half of the body remaining.

And further away, there are more destroyed combat equipment, and...

Corpse!

The ones that are generally kept intact, half of them are even left with indistinguishable fragments...

Almost all the surrounding buildings have collapsed, and no one is found and remains intact.

In a three-story building directly in front of me, half of the sign hanging on it was nailed above the gate, but the other half fell underground.

The neon lights above have completely turned off, but you can still vaguely see five words:

Barrett Restaurant.

This is Nicole's favorite restaurant before.

——When I was in Zero City.

"That shop is very lucky. Their wine storage has not been broken."

Tianlie appeared behind Nicole quietly at some point.

"You..." Nicole turned around suddenly and glared at Tianlie fiercely: "We have arrived in Zero City, why don't you tell me?!"

"Isn't it interesting to find all this yourself?" Tianlie smiled: "When I woke up, I enjoyed this joy from disappointment to surprise, and I can't deprive you so selfishly."

Nicole took a deep breath and forcibly restrained the urge to summon the floating angel in her heart, and fought with this annoying guy.

"I'm waiting for you to go out." Tianlie put his hands behind his back and looked down at Nicole from behind: "How long are you going to stand at the door?"

"The smell of wine on you is very smelly." Nicole glanced at Tianlie and walked out.

As he stepped out the door, Nicole looked back.

Looking out from the door, the room seemed to be right next to the street. But after stepping out of the door, the room could no longer be seen behind him, just a half-destroyed wall.

"After all, it's the back door, so we have to hide it. Just remember the location ourselves." Tianlie walked out of the wall and saw what Nicole was thinking.

"Since you have arrived in Zero City, let's go. Go find your friends and I'll find mine." Nicole said lightly.

"Okay. But where are your friends?"

Tianlie's question made Nicole stunned.

Yes, where is it?

It has been obvious that many days have passed since the battle ruins and corpses all over the ground.

It was quiet around, and no sound came from human voices or explosions.

The battle has been over for a long time.

Where can there be living people?

The Elderly Council?

arena?

Angel Legion Headquarters?

Only then did Nicole realize that she had always wanted to return to Zero City, but she had never thought clearly about how to get information.

"Don't think about it. Come with me." Tianlie laughed and walked along the street: "If Chen was really trapped in City Zero, then there would be no other awakened people in this city. Follow me and go find him."

"Look for Chen? The leader of the Thorn Flower Group? Are you afraid that I will kill him and avenge my companions?" Nicole said coldly.

Tian Lie turned his head suddenly and stared at Nicole with wide eyes, as if he was looking at an idiot.

Nicole straightened her back and looked at Tianlie without any retreat.

After a long time, Tian Lie sighed softly and shook his head: "Fortunately I only heard this sentence just now. I hope...If we can see Chen next, don't say such nonsense in front of him, don't. Listen, I don't care what the pride of the angel legion in your heart, but... life is the most important."

Seeing Nicole's eyes narrowed, Tianlie's eyes flashed with a flash of light. He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Nicole's neck, and pressed her to the wall behind him.

His movements were so fast that Nicole had not even had time to react and dodge, and he was already choked tightly.

Nicole blushed and quickly summoned Floating Woong, hovering behind Tianlie, and opened the energy muzzle and pointed it at his back, but did not fire immediately.

"Listen, little floating angel." Tianlie ignored the threat behind him, but still let his palm relax a little, and lowered his voice: "You may think you are brave, but your words just now have nothing to do with bravery. This is stupidity, recklessness, naiveness, ignorance, but it is definitely not bravery!

With my current strength, if I want to kill you, I can do it with a little bit of minor injuries at most. But I have never even figured out his bottom line with Chen's strength. But I can say responsibly that if he wants to kill you, there is no need to sweat a little!

You don’t know why I don’t want you to follow me, and now I don’t want you to act freely! It’s because I’m afraid that you will sway around and run into Chen alone, do you understand!

Even if I have already left the Thorn Flower Group, at least Chen and I have a private relationship, and I am still... half a friend. With my face, he will not kill you. But if you still go crazy like you did just now when you see him, I can't guarantee that I can protect you, do you understand!"

This is the first time that Tianlie has spoken to Nicole so sternly after the two of them have seen each other again after they have resurrected.

After saying that, he let go of his hand, but still stared at Nicole: "You just want to know where the survivor of Zero City is going. I'm not sure if Chen knows this. If he knows, I will let him tell you, and then you will leave here quickly. He has used some basic knowledge with me. His goal is Zero City, not you Zero City people. As long as you don't do anything to annoy him and don't stop the goal he wants to achieve, he won't kill you at will."

The moment Tian Lie let go of his hand, Nicole immediately bounced up, but did not immediately summon Fuyou to arm herself. She just gasped quickly, her chest undulating.

"I have only so much to say. This is not intimidation or threat, it is just telling you the most basic fact." Tian Lie sighed softly: "Don't feel that you have been humiliated. The real humiliation is not to recognize the gap in strength between yourself and others, but to be able to see it, but to not admit the gap in strength."

"I get it..." Nicole gasped for a long time and looked up at Tianlie: "Thank you for your teaching, Thorn Flower Tourist, Mr. Tianlie."

"Look!" Tian Lie continued to glar at Nicole, and his serious expression just now suddenly disappeared, he laughed and whistled: "Women are women. Even if they know that what they hear is the truth, as long as they don't suit their own wishes, they will always start to get angry."

"I'm getting angry?" Nicole said coldly.

"Of course not." Tianlie grinned: "I mean, only women have this bad habit. And you are not a woman in my heart. I am praising you, little floating angel."

After saying that, Tianlie turned around and continued to walk towards the street.

"Thank you so much." Nicole said lightly, following Tianlie three steps behind.

Tian Lie walked slowly on the street, looking around from time to time. Nicole followed him, and his brows gradually frowned.

"Can you... go faster?"

Tianlie turned his head and looked at Nicole in surprise: "Why should I go faster?"

"Aren't you very anxious?" Nicole curled her lips: "You said that Chen is your friend. You have spent so much effort and finally came to Zero City just to find him. Why are you not in a hurry now?"

"What you said makes a lot of sense." Tian Lie nodded seriously: "Since that's the case, please lead a way, and then we will run to find Chen quickly, okay?"

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

"Oh--it turns out you don't know where he is." Tian Lie suddenly realized: "Then guess, do I know?"

"You!" Nicole immediately understood that Tianlie was mocking him, and glared at him fiercely.

"Look, since we don't know where he is and there is no goal, what can we do? If you wander around like this, you might encounter it in the next second." Tianlie smiled and said, "Hey, I think this place... it was originally a commercial street, right?"

"Yeah." Ni agreed with his nose.
