Chapter 126 [Angelic Killer]

The pickup truck drove on the road at night. After walking through two streets, there was no trace of pursuit behind him. Chen Xiaolian's heart relaxed a little, but his brows frowned even tighter.

When Xia Xiaolei was asked to purchase through the system, Qiao Qiao and Roddy took a portion of healing beast blood. Chen Xiaolian watched Qiao Qiao and Roddy sit in the back seats and gasp gradually, then turned his head and stared at Nicole driving.

“We need to talk!”

"Tell me, what do you want to ask." Nicole's eyes stared at the road ahead, her eyes a little deep.

"Who was that guy just now?"

Nicole was silent for a while, and she whispered: "Thorny Flowers."

This name is not unfamiliar, and Chen Xiaolian immediately remembered the painting of thorn flowers on the wreckage of the thunderstorm chariot.

"Is it a strong team?"

"It may not be enough to describe Thorn Flower by just 'very strong'." Nicole's smile was a little bitter: "Simply put, 'Thorn Flower' has always been one of the biggest enemies of Zero City. It can even be regarded as a 'public enemy of Zero City'. Several top teams permanently stationed in Zero City and the organizations of Zero City have been fighting against this Thorn Flower Group."

Chen Xiaolian took a breath.

He has seen everything about Zero City. For a small team like the Meteorite Team, everything in Zero City can almost be regarded as a behemoth. And this "thorn flower group" is a public enemy that can compete with the top organizations in Zero City!

Note that the word "public enemy".

"So. The Thorn Flower Group is the player's team? Is it the public enemy of all Awakening?"

When Chen Xiaolian asked this question, he keenly noticed that Nicole's smile was a little bitter.

Then, he saw that the bitter smile that had been before gradually faded away, and replaced by a deep pain!

"You're probably wrong. The Thorn Flower Group is not the 'Awakening Public Enemy', it's just the 'Zero City Public Enemy'."

"I don't understand you."

Nicole suddenly turned her head and looked at Chen Xiaolian deeply: "Don't understand? Then what I said is simple and clear! The personnel structure of the Thorn Flower Group is not just a simple player!"

"What?!" Chen Xiaolian was really shocked: "You mean..."

"There are many awakened people who have also been recruited by the Thorn Flower Group. They serve for the Thorn Flower Group! Or they have defected to the Thorn Flower Group."

"Yes...but we are awakened people! Shouldn't the awakened people's position be naturally hostile to players?"

Nicole held the steering wheel with both hands, and her fingers were very strong. She let out a long sigh before whispering: "What is absolutely true in this world? For those players, we are all NPCs. Even the awakened ones are just NPCs with higher intelligence, which can bring them more exciting and richer gaming experiences.

Since players can kill NPCs, they can kill us... then why not enslave, use, or recruit?

Moreover... not every awakened person is so determined to fight against the players. Some awakened persons will naturally seek to survive, or to live better, so that they will naturally seek to join the players.

This is normal. Even if there are wars between countries, surrender factions and puppet troops will appear.

In your country, in the war with Japan decades ago, were there fewer traitors and puppet troops?”

Chen Xiaolian opened his mouth and couldn't speak anymore.

"The Thorn Flower Group is very powerful and the personnel structure is very complex. Of course, their core circles are all players. But there are also some powerful and outstanding awakened people who will be tempted by them, threatened by them, or join them for various reasons.

Some are to survive, and some are to gain more strength. In short, the confrontation with the Thorn Flower Group has always been one of the most troublesome problems in Zero City.”

"That bald man just now..."

"I know that guy." Nicole's eyes twitched. He took a deep breath: "He... is very famous, he is a master in the thorny flower group."

Then, Nicole suddenly said in a strange tone: "I told you that I belong to the 'Floating Angel' organization of the Zero City Security Team.

The Floating Angel is an organization among the security combatants in Zero City. It can be said that as security personnel, we have been fighting on the front line. In order to defend Zero City, we fight against various enemies.

Although the Floating Angel team is an honorary organization, there are also core personnel. There are twelve core main teams.

These twelve people are called the real "angels". They are the strongest twelve people in the floating angel group. The twelve angels have always been the core force in defending Zero City.

However, the Floating Angels Group is not invincible. In the battle with the Thorn Flower Group, several Floating Angels once died in the battle with the Thorn Flower Group. Most importantly, one of them was once a member of the 'Twelve Angels' died in battle!"

When she said this, Chen Xiaolian noticed that Nicole's eyes were a little red, and she bit her lip hard.

Chen Xiaolian's heart was also filled with waves!

The floating angel itself is already very powerful, and it is the best among the floating angels and is listed as one of the twelve strongest ones, not to mention its natural strength.

Those masters died in battle...

"This bald guy just now is a famous master in the Thorn Flower Group. He has a very special nickname, called... Angel Killer."

Chen Xiaolian's heart moved: "Ange killer? Then... the person you mentioned who died in battle, is it..."

"It's just that he died in his hands!" Nicole's face was pale, her fingers were a little white, and the steering wheel was crunched in her hands. She seemed to have tried a lot to suppress her agitation: "The one who died in the battle was the code name of the twelve angels, "The Angel of Guard" was an extremely outstanding warrior, an excellent leader, and an elder respected and loved by all members of the Floating Angel. In a field mission three years ago, the team he led had a fierce battle with the Thorn Flower Group in the dungeon. Finally..."

Nicole suddenly bit her lip hard, and a tear fell down her cheeks.

Chen Xiaolian suddenly felt a stern: "Nicole, you..."

"The 'angel guarding' who died in battle is my father, biological father." Nicole suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Xiaolian's surprised expression: "Are you surprised? Didn't you expect there will be a father and daughter in the awakened person?"

"...It's very unexpected." Chen Xiaolian whispered: "The emergence of awakened people should be accidental and random..."

"It was an accident." Nicole nodded, she quickly wiped away her tears and said coldly: "I was only six years old that year. I went out for a trip with my father and I were involved in a copy. My father and I became awakened at the same time! A father-daughter combination like us is extremely rare in the entire awakened world.

For us, it is unfortunate to be involved in this cruel world!! But... for me personally, it is lucky. Because on my growth path, my father protected me all the way, I was able to survive after becoming an awakened person when I was only six years old.

I am twenty-one this year. For more than ten years, I have been growing up under my father's wings. In City Zero, my father's comrades take care of me as their daughter. My father taught me everything...fighting, tactics, training, driving control... I follow my father's footsteps almost every step.

We fought side by side many times, and my father led me to death again and again. I can't even remember how many times it was because my father used his shoulders to carry the hope of my life!

Then, just two years ago, my father never returned to Zero City after that trip! My father's teammate only brought back the floating battle pet that belonged to my father! But he was so broken that he almost died!!"

Chen Xiaolian suddenly remembered something, and he said carefully: "After the awakened person dies, he should be able to refresh himself to an ordinary person, then your father..."

"Of course he was refreshed."

Nicole said this and slowly said in a complicated tone: "My father was refreshed in the ordinary world, and he restored his ordinary identity in the outside world, and his identity as an ordinary person.

But in the past sixteen years of memories, the past sixteen years of life and death, the little things my father taught me over the past sixteen years, all the memories... all of these memories no longer exist.

No longer exists.

He doesn't remember all the adventures we experienced together, the life and death decisions we experienced together, and the bullets we fired with our bodies for each other! He doesn't remember teaching me to drive me in a hand, or the fighting skills he taught me personally.

After being refreshed, my father was just an accountant sitting in the garden, raising flowers and grass waiting for retirement.

And for me... the person who has been with me for sixteen years has actually disappeared. The sixteen years of memory, the person who has been sixteen years has disappeared!

The refreshed person may be the one who remembered him sixteen years ago and before I was sixteen years ago!

Do you know what's the ridiculous thing?"

"……What?"

"The system actually automatically programmed a memory! Filled with these sixteen years! Yes! It's ridiculous! From the age of six to twenty-one, in order to maintain the balance of the system, my father was programmed for a set of sixteen years! In this memory, I just regarded me as a daughter who had a very weak relationship with the family for more than ten years, a daughter who often did not go home to work outside, and a daughter who had a very indifferent relationship with him!

I used to leave Zero City occasionally and go home to see him.

But I can't stand the father who once carried the sky for me with his shoulders and resisted bullets for me with his body... Now he is looking at me with a cold and distant look.

For me, the real father in my heart, those sixteen years of memory, have died!"
