Chapter 125 Leader Zach
But a moment later, dozens of volunteer soldiers came over aggressively.
As soon as they saw the devastated scene and the group of dead comrades who were almost blown into mechanical parts, they surrounded Lina and others vigilantly and full of hostility.
But Jinx didn't escape.
Zach's parents didn't escape either.
They all wanted to stay and fight alongside the Leader, to help Lina and the others hold out for these two minutes until reinforcements arrived.
But the enemy obviously didn't intend to give them that time.
"Did you kill our people?" Dozens of volunteer soldiers glared at them, and the air turned cold.
Lina clenched her fists nervously.
Jinx raised her shotgun in earnest as well.
A fierce battle in which one's life might be at risk seems inevitable.
And just at this moment...
"Kill them!" The cyborg warriors were about to rush over with murderous intent.
In the dim sky of the ditch area, a huge black shadow suddenly flew over, blocking out the sun...
"Is that your president?" Jinx was about to ask.
Then she saw a thing as big as a car jumping down from the sky...
Slime?
Green jelly?
Green translucent Majin Buu?
"What is that?" Lina was shocked.
"So cool!" Jinx's eyes lit up.
"Zach, you're back!" Zack's parents breathed a sigh of relief.
This big slime is their child, Zack.
"He is Zach?" Lina and the others finally reacted:
It turns out that Zack is not the "green rubber ball" in the photo.
He is a piece of...slime that can change its shape freely?
“Dad, Mom!”
This huge green slime, as big as a giant, suddenly spoke.
The voice was still innocent: "What happened?"
"Takeda's people are here to arrest us." Zack's parents briefly explained the situation.
"Takeda Saito?!" Zack's chest swelled up with anger when he heard the name.
He was really swollen and looked like a blown-up balloon.
Then he looked at his beloved cozy little home, the single-family building that he and his parents had renovated with their own hands, but which had now been blown open by the enemy with a big hole in it...
Zach became even angrier: "You guys—"
“They are all bad guys!”
The green translucent "jelly block" was still expanding, and in an instant it expanded to the height of two nearly empty floors.
This scene made the dozens of prototype warriors' scalps tingle with fear, even though many of them had undergone head modifications and had no scalps long ago.
Zack's strength is obviously much stronger than the "little Zack" in the enemy's memory when he just escaped from the laboratory, whose intelligence was not as good as that of a child.
"Go ahead, catch it!" The cyborg warriors relied on their numbers to kill Zack.
But Zach was like a Nika man who had eaten a rubber fruit... a Nika fruit...
His body further expanded into an enormous green marble, and then...
"Dynamic Pinball!"
A ball bounced high into the sky and then fell heavily.
Snap...with a loud noise.
The ground seemed to be shaking.
In an instant, seven or eight volunteer warriors were unfortunately smashed into discus.
These cyborgs with tenacious vitality were still alive, but they were tightly stuck to Zack's jelly-like body. Some were even wrapped up in this "big jelly" and trapped inside Zack's body.
"Bastards! Don't just stand there, blow up this monster to death!" the cyborg warriors shouted frantically.
They were well prepared, too. They had grenades, poison gas bombs, rocket launchers, and even the flamethrower that Zach feared the most.
But they added one more sentence:
"And don't let those two traitors go either!"
The enemy attacked Zach's parents.
…
Like most Zaun people, Zac was born without parents.
But Zack is not a human being, but a "water monster" who was born naturally from an alchemical wastewater pool without a father or a mother and was born and raised naturally.
When Takeda Saito discovered this living "slime", he sent people to capture it and bring it back to the laboratory, hoping to transform it into a controllable biological weapon.
He named the project "Zaan Amorphous Combat Entity", abbreviated as ZAC, Zac.
However, two alchemy researchers under Takeda Saito accidentally discovered during their research:
Zach is not only alive, but also conscious.
It... He is not a tool or a weapon, but an ignorant child.
The researcher couple couldn't bear to let the child continue to suffer in the research, so they risked their lives to rescue Zach from the laboratory, and then hid in the sump area under an assumed name.
They treated Zach as their own son, taught him to read and write, taught him to understand the world, and taught him all the good virtues of being a human being.
Zach gradually grew into a kind person.
He lived for battle, but did not enjoy it.
but……
"Don't touch my mom and dad!"
When the cybernetic warriors shouted and attacked his parents, Zack finally got angry.
Then, there was an overwhelming force, an earth-shaking movement...
The green translucent giant was rampaging wildly.
By the time Zach stopped, breathless and bruised, there was no enemy left standing.
He silently picked up the "jelly blocks" scattered on the ground, and used these body tissues that were peeled off and splashed out during the battle to repair his severely damaged and shrunk body.
"Zach, are you okay?" His parents came over with concern.
"I'm fine, Dad, Mom." Zack replied in a muffled voice.
He looked at Lina and the others again: "What about them?"
"They are friends," Zach's father said, "the leaders we have been discussing with you these days."
"Oh, friend!" Zack seemed to have a good impression of the leader.
He walked with his jelly legs shaking, and unconsciously moved closer to Lina and the others.
Lina dodged instinctively.
The big guy shrank his head a little aggrieved: "Don't be afraid... In fact, I'm not as sticky as I look."
"Really?" Jinx seemed unable to hold back any longer.
She excitedly went forward and touched it.
And not only did she touch him, she also pulled a piece of "jelly" from Zach like pulling dough: "Sister Lina, he's really not sticky at all!"
Lina: “…”
Is this a question of stickiness?
Why can this big piece of jelly talk?
He... really won't eat people?
"Don't worry, everyone." Zach's parents smiled and explained: "Although Zach is not a human, he is a gentle and kind child."
"He is even a 'trendsetter'."
"What?" Lina was slightly stunned.
Zach's parents said: "We have been studying the ideology of Goddess Janna with him these days."
"Although Zach looks silly, he actually has a better grasp of the theory than us!"
"Him?" Lina looked at the giant human-shaped jelly in front of her.
Zach smiled at her innocently.
This guy... doesn't even have a brain? He doesn't look like a theoretical expert who is well versed in Janna's thoughts!
"Let me try..." Lina also became curious about Zack.
She didn't ask any questions and hummed a song to herself.
"Sister Lina." Jinx asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"I am communicating with Janna, borrowing divine power, and showing everyone's faith," Lina explained.
The magic of manifesting faith consumes very little energy, so she can use it now.
"Is it still possible?" Jinx's eyes were somewhat subtle: "Faith can still be manifested?"
"Of course." Lina explained with a smile: "If a person is kind-hearted, sympathetic to the masses, and familiar with the theories of Janna and agrees with the ideals of the leader, then he should have a certain degree of Janna belief."
“Jessica—”
As she spoke, Lina looked at Jinx enthusiastically:
"You have also read 'Jana Thoughts', right? I think a good kid like you who has read 'Jana Thoughts' must also be a person of faith."
"We, the leaders, always welcome comrades like you!"
Jinx: “…”
She had said before that she had read the booklet.
Not only have I read it, but I can also memorize it.
And her character is that of a thorough good person, a fanatical follower of a leader.
These plays have already been performed, and people can’t change them even if they want to.
"L-Lina..." Jinx suddenly became very nervous.
She was very afraid that the magic that Lina mentioned would reveal her true nature.
What if Lina discovered that her previous passion and kindness were all fake, and that she was not a believer of Janna at all ...
Will Lina not want her anymore?
No--
Lina is not my person in the first place, if she doesn't want me, then she doesn't want me... Why should I be nervous?
I was so nervous because of the safety of the undercover mission and to prevent my fake identity from being exposed... Yes, that's it!
Jinx was confused for a while.
"Don't..." She wanted to stop Lina from casting the spell, but she couldn't think of a suitable excuse.
Finally, with Lina's singing...
The threads of faith of everyone present were revealed.
Lina and her teammates all have "lines", and they are dazzlingly bright.
Zach's parents also have wires, but they are not very bright.
Even Zack, that big brainless jelly, has a "thread"!
“It’s over.” Jinx’s heart sank.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lina's face, which would soon become disappointed, shocked and suspicious.
"sorry……"
Jinx murmured and sighed.
But Lina gave her a warm hug, and then looked at the faint "thread of faith" that was faintly drawn above her head, and said excitedly:
"Look, I wasn't wrong—"
"We're comrades, Jessica!"
