Chapter 597 Misunderstanding and Decision
After a hail of bullets, the original street has turned into a ruin.
Amid the smoke-filled rubble were a large number of broken limbs and body parts, and unknown body fluids of various colors were flowing on the ground.
Not far away, the mecha police and robbers who were engaged in a fierce gunfight had all lost their breath of life. Large pieces of twisted machinery were scattered around, and blood occasionally flowed out of them.
The robbed bank and the robbers looked even more miserable. They were completely covered by carpet bombing without any preparation, and not even a piece of debris could be found.
There was a sudden tremor in the ruins, accompanied by a rise of rubble. Leo pushed aside the rocks around him and stood up from the ruins with a Sonic in his arms.
“It hurts… Hey, hey, even in Helsharemz, this scene is too much, right?!”
Touching his painful head, Leo first expressed his feelings about the tragic environment around him, and then he found something wrong.
"No! I survived?!"
Relying on the God's Eye, Leo of course saw clearly the overwhelming firepower at the end. That was also why he was surprised that he was able to survive.
Just look at the surrounding environment to know how intensive this carpet bombing was. All the buildings were razed to the ground, and the bricks and asphalt on the ground were blown into pieces, revealing the pipes and wires underneath.
There was hardly a single intact place in the entire area; even the mecha police covered in heavy armor were wiped out.
Those aliens who, relying on their vitality that surpassed that of humans, could still jump around even with half of their heads gone, now turned into minced meat and lay on the ground.
These people are so miserable, there is no reason why I can survive.
Leo glanced at the Sonic Monkey in his arms. At the moment before the missiles were about to fall, he reflexively hugged the monkey that stole his camera in his arms.
This was just a subconscious action, and Leo didn't think that his body could withstand such an attack, but he didn't expect that he actually survived.
"You're alright too?"
Leo grabbed the monkey with both hands and looked at it carefully. He found that although its hair was a little messy, it was indeed not seriously injured.
Sonic, who had just been dizzy from the violent explosion, had now come to his senses and allowed himself to be caught in Leo's hand, but he behaved unusually calmly.
Just like what the customer in the fast food restaurant said, Sonic has a very good level of intelligence, so he can distinguish between good and evil.
Leo's act of holding it in his arms before the missile arrived has won Sonic's favor.
"It's really okay... We are so lucky!"
Looking at the lively Sonic and the camera it handed back to him, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
"Squeak!"
However, Leo did not have time to rest for long. The originally calm Sonic suddenly cried out hurriedly as if he had discovered something, and jumped up and down quickly while standing on the ruins.
"Isn't this the place where I just came out?" Leo looked at Sonic who was yelling at him and thought for a moment, "Is there something underneath?"
"Squeak!"
Looking at Sonic nodding, Leo stopped hesitating and quickly stood up and cleared the rubble on the ruins.
After digging for a while, he found a man whose body was charred.
"This is... Mr. Zapp?!"
Although his whole body was charred, Leo still managed to recognize the other person from his face. It was Zapp, who seemed to have mistaken him for someone else and stepped on his face.
The opponent's arrogant character and the behavior of stepping on his face left a deep impression on Leo, but he did not expect that Zap, who was so arrogant just now, has now become like this.
"No! This position... Could it be that we are able to survive because Mr. Zapp is saving us?!"
Leo took a look at Zapp's posture and the place he had just climbed out of, then looked at Sonic with a puzzled look.
"Squeak!"
"It's actually true. Mr. Zapp looks like a difficult person to talk to, but I didn't expect him to be such a kind person! Wow! Mr. Zapp, hold on, I will definitely save you!"
Leo had just sighed when a series of explosions were heard not far away.
The vibration caused by the explosion caused the ruins where Zap was buried to ripple, and a huge rock fell, smashing Zap's body, who was already in a coma, into a V shape.
The sudden change made Leo a little flustered. He immediately climbed onto the ruins and hurriedly moved the rubble covering Zapp. Sonic, who was not much bigger than a fist beside him, also moved, trying to move the stones that were not much smaller than his body.
After great efforts and with both the man and the monkey panting, they finally pulled Zhap, who was covered in black smoke, out of the rubble.
However, when pulling Zapp, Leo also discovered that although his clothes were burnt black and his body was emitting a burnt smell, and his originally silver hair was burnt curled, but Mr. Zapp was surprisingly not seriously injured.
At least from the appearance, there are no major skin injuries, nor any serious injuries such as broken bones.
"Is this a miracle? I am so lucky... But he seemed to have mistaken me for someone else, so he saved my life. Do you want me to apologize later?"
Leo was in a dilemma. It was obvious that the other party was able to save him without hesitation because he had previously misunderstood him and thought he was someone else.
If I told Zapp that he had the wrong person after he woke up, would that make him angry?
At this moment, Zapp, who had been in a coma, twitched and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Ahhh! Mr. Zapp, you finally woke up. Fortunately, you are fine... It hurts!"
Boom!
Before Leo could finish his words, he was punched on the head by Zapp. Zapp, his body charred, staggered to his feet from the ground.
He stretched out his hand and fumbled on the torn jacket with trembling hands, and finally found the cigar that had been blown half away. He lit it with the help of the unextinguished fire on the ruins next to him and put it back in his mouth.
After taking a deep puff of the cigar, Zapp seemed to have finally recovered from his previous coma. He glanced at Leo beside him, and without hesitation, punched him on the head again.
Boom!
"Asshole!"
"it hurts!"
Stuffing the burnt and somewhat torn photo in his hand into his tattered clothes, Zapp reached out and grabbed Leo's head under his arm and strangled him hard.
"Boy, you looked so relaxed just now! Remember, next time if you need someone to pick you up, go ask your parents!"
Leo finally broke free from Zapp's arm and coughed twice. After hearing what Zapp said, he thought about the problem of the other party recognizing the wrong person, so he wanted to remind him.
"Ahem... No, that..."
"what?!"
Zapp raised his voice, scaring Leo so much that he swallowed back what he was about to say.
Zapp took two more puffs of his cigar, looked at Leo's expression, and suddenly smiled with relief.
"You are such a loser. How can a guy like you survive in Libra?"
"Libra?" Leo's expression changed when he heard the name.
Fortunately, in order to cover up his divine eye, Leo kept squinting his eyes, so Zapp didn't notice anything wrong. While sorting out his injuries, he walked in a certain direction.
"Jonny Landis, huh? You look so miserable. I'm really worried about your future. I heard that you joined here voluntarily, but to be honest, this city isn't really suitable for you."
Turning his head to look at Leo who was quietly following behind him, Zapp curled his lips.
"Just like what happened just now, you still needed me to save you from a missile like that, and it made me so embarrassed. It's really..."
The corner of Leo's eye twitched and he opened his mouth, wanting to retort that a normal person would definitely die under such carpet bombing and there was no way he could survive.
But he and the person in front of him were standing here in earnest, and even the Sonic beside him had no problems, which meant that the other party really had the strength he claimed.
So I could only shut my mouth helplessly and listen to Zapp's complaints silently.
"... It's no exaggeration to say that Hersharemz is the place where fierce battles for world supremacy will take place in the next thousand years! So..."
Zapp suddenly turned around, raised his fist and smashed towards Leo with a sharp sound.
The God's Eye operated automatically, and Leo clearly saw this power that was far beyond the reaction limit of a normal person. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid the attack.
boom!
A fist that was not much smaller than his head brushed past his ear and hit the ruined wall behind him, creating a shallow radial pit visible to the naked eye in the thick reinforced concrete wall.
Feeling the pain of one side of his cheek being hit by the shock wave and small pieces of stone, Leo broke out in a cold sweat and dared not speak.
Just as Leo was wondering if he had been discovered, Zapp's words made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"You should understand what I mean, Johnny Landis. For me, if I want to survive in a fight with those tough guys, the fewer guys who get in the way around me, the better."
Zapp's face came closer to Leo, revealing a very scary expression:
"But judging from what happened just now, I don't think you are qualified for the job of Libra, so I will report that you were killed in the bombing just now, and then we will say goodbye, right?"
Looking at Zapp standing quietly in front of him, Leo fell into a long silence.
