Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 13 Mason is a strong man who is invincible in the girls' dormitory
Mason's mutant ability allows him to accurately lock onto all water sources within his perception range and freely reorganize his body between water sources. This can be considered a unique "teleportation technique". The only regret is that it cannot teleport people yet.
This time, the reorganization of his water molecules allowed him to appear directly in the bathtub in the bathroom of the female dormitory of Xavier College...
Don't get me wrong, Mason is not such a nasty person.
He simply used the surveillance camera he had secretly left on Storm Girl as a guide and sent himself to the place closest to the incident.
As a result, just as he completed the reorganization, a naked zombie with a distorted posture, a pale face, canine teeth in its mouth and a loud roar jumped out in front of him and pounced on him.
Mason has seen zombies more than once.
This thing was considered a small monster when he first debuted, and at least eight hundred people died at his gun.
But the zombie in front of him was a little different.
To put it simply, she is a "super zombie".
Its figure flashed and appeared behind Mason, and its ferocious claws directly grabbed Mason's heart without damaging the skin at all. Then it roared and bit off Mason's neck, intending to feast on it.
However, the next moment, the hungry zombie lady took a mouthful of ice chips that were icy to the bone.
Mason, who had reassembled his body in another part of the bathroom, touched his heart and looked with some fear at the brown-haired female zombie in front of him whose half body was frozen in the frozen bathtub.
That's Phantom Cat...
The younger version of Miss Phantom Cat, it’s a pity that she has such a flat figure.
"Luckily I'm already a water man, otherwise I would have been in a lot of trouble just now."
He complained and pushed his gloved left hand forward, causing the water molecules in the bathroom to transform into three states, allowing the layers of ice chips to completely freeze the howling super-powered zombies.
But this cannot trap the Phantom Cat who can travel through everything.
Even though she has lost most of her sanity after being infected, her bloodthirsty instincts alone are enough to turn her into the most dangerous predator.
With a flash of her body, the increasingly violent zombie girl emerged from the ice unharmed and pounced on Mason again.
She couldn't understand why Mason, who clearly exuded the scent of flesh and blood, could escape so many times, but judging from her distorted whimpering, she probably wouldn't give up until she had fresh meat.
This is probably the only benefit of being a zombie.
You don’t have to think about whether it is better to lie down or stand still. Your always hungry digestive system will make the decision for you instead of your brain.
Mason dodged again, took out an enchanted glass bottle from his arms and activated the voodoo inscription inside. When the phantom cat pounced on him next time, he smashed the bottle in his hand.
The precise throw caused it to hit Miss Zombie right on the head with a bang.
A strange green fluorescent light flashed and sealed her in the magic bottle. Just like the zombie king Kingpin who had been "collected" before, she became Mason's "zombie figurine".
But this bottle still can't trap the phantom cat.
Her ability to travel through everything is simply the nemesis of all means of control, but Mason, who has experience in raising zombies, pulled out a piece of fresh meat and threw it into the bottle, immediately calming down the violent super zombie.
Actually.
According to Mason's "collection experience", if zombies can be fed on time, they are definitely one of the most worry-free "pets".
"It's just been infected, it can't be more than five minutes! It seems that it's just an outbreak, and it can still be controlled!"
Mason stared at the shrunken phantom cat chewing meat in the bottle, and determined from some of her characteristics when she was infected.
But his expression was not pretty.
The diluted zombie virus used by the stars will not retain super powers. At this moment, the zombie phantom cat travels through all things and it can be easily seen that this is definitely the result caused by the source zombie virus.
The most troublesome thing is that even the master has not yet developed an antidote or vaccine that is effective against the source virus. In this case, once you are infected, it is basically game over.
"Ladies zombies, please put on clothes next time you go out, thank you."
Mason quietly complained about the appearance of the naked Phantom Cat zombie while picking up the bottle and walking out of the bathroom. He didn't even need to listen to feel the chaos spreading rapidly throughout the dormitory building.
This is the source of the zombie virus outbreak!
Must be blocked immediately.
"Get out!"
Mason used the water flowing in the water pipes of the entire dormitory building to warn the X-Men who were trying to rush into the building. They had no experience in dealing with super-powered zombies, and now they were eager to save people. If they rushed in all at once, it would only make things worse. Then Mason reached out and put his hand on the water pipe next to him, unleashing his mutant abilities with his greatest strength.
Hey! Spirits of flowing water in sewage pipes and sewers, listen to my call and help me!
"Bang, bang, bang"
The water pipes in every room of the dormitory building were damaged by Mason's outburst of power, and then a large amount of cold and hot water gushed out, and was manipulated by Mason to cover the entrances and exits, wrapping up the entire building like a layer of "water film".
Such a large coverage area made Mason feel a little tired, but the blocking effect was very good.
Those super-powered zombies who were howling and trying to rush out were covered and pushed back by the flowing water. Not every mutant has the ability like Phantom Cat to ignore all means of control and rush forward recklessly.
The thought of an assassin who is not vulnerable to control, has the ability to teleport, and whose every attack deals true damage is terrifying.
After completing the water blockade of the building, Mason once again skillfully used the three-state conversion, taking advantage of the inherently low temperature of this cold place to freeze the water in the entire floor.
"Poppy! Help!"
The old wolf outside the building saw the water covering the building begin to freeze and knew what Mason was going to do. He grabbed a handsome young man who looked a little panicked and pointed at the freezing building in front of him and roared.
The real Iceman reacted instantly, stepped forward and raised his hands, and extremely cold icicles burst out.
This Omega-level mutant had a much stronger starting point than Mason. In just a few seconds, the rolling water around the entire girls' dormitory building was completely frozen. Then Mason, whose whole body was covered with cold air, reorganized with the help of the water and appeared outside the building.
Harley ran over with some zombie vaccines and tried to help, but Mason just shook his head at her.
These weakened vaccines are not effective against the source zombie virus.
"Not all girls were infected. Most of them are still alive."
Mason said to Cyclops and Old Wolf:
“Everyone inside is frozen, go and rescue them! Remember, stay away from those who have turned into zombies or have been scratched or bitten.
I handle them, I'm an expert in this area."
"Did you understand everything?"
In the anxious moment, everyone didn't bother to carefully identify Mason's origins. The old wolf, who was eager to save people, shouted to the boys who gathered behind him, then he popped out his steel claws and went forward to dig open the ice. His laser eyes shot out a beam of light to open a passage and joined the rescue army.
His charming girlfriend is still in there.
He is very anxious now.
Although Jean Grey in this world does not have the power of the Phoenix, her mental strength is just as unstable. If it were to be stimulated to explode, it would be disastrous.
"Where's Ororo?"
Beast Hank, the wise man, grabbed a frozen super zombie and observed its features while shouting:
"Who has seen Storm? She was the first to sound the alarm. Where is she now?"
"I just saw Mentor Ororo flying out after Wanda."
The strong and young version of Colossus ran out carrying a few female classmates who were shivering from the cold. He took the time to say something to Hank, and Mason's expression next to him suddenly became serious.
Scarlet Witch flew out?
If she has been infected by the zombie virus...hiss, this evil world is really too dangerous.
"Hat, give me some more magic shields."
Mason pressed down the hat on his head, gave Hank a few words of advice as the magic arcs danced, and then chased after Storm in the direction she left as the water molecules reorganized.
This zombie disaster broke out a little too suddenly.
He was sure that the stars would not suddenly launch a pollution war against the world at this time. If he thought of the worst case scenario, it was most likely done by the Skrull bastards.
But Mason had a feeling that the truth of the matter might not be so boring.
He soon sensed the sudden energy fluctuations in the wind and clouds ahead. It was Storm and Scarlet Witch fighting. The crimson energy and thunder flying in the sky mixed together, making people feel thrilling.
"Mason, how are you going to deal with a zombie-like Scarlet Witch?"
The hat whispered:
"It was another her who destroyed the British Ministry of Magic. Although I have never seen her show her power, I know that she is definitely not an opponent that your current half-baked mutant abilities can handle.
This pure energy enemy is very tricky, and although you have many ways to kill her directly, I guess you won't do that."
"The zombie-like Scarlet Witch is an excellent sample for studying the origin of the zombie virus and the power of chaos magic, and I have always wanted to collect an X-Men action figure."
Mason picked up his suitcase and opened it, activating the traceless extension spell while saying:
"Look, this opportunity has come, right? As for how I should deal with her..."
He looked at the twelve hunting sentinel robots that flew out of the briefcase in front of him. These silver-gray machines, whose weapon modules and materials he had upgraded, were suspended in the air, surrounding Mason and waiting for orders.
He pointed to the sky, and the twelve V-shaped tactical eyepieces that were hunting down the Sentinel leaders locked onto the target in an instant, and their green light turned into a dangerous red.
"These sentinels were originally tools used to search for and hunt mutants. Although they were transformed into loyal guards by the X-Royal Family, the restraint on mutants that came with them when they were born has not been invalidated."
Mason grabbed his electromagnetic gun and loaded it with scandium alloy pellets, and explained to the hat:
"Unless this young version of Scarlet Witch is powerful enough to use the 'blessing' of Lord Fate to wipe out my existence, her defeat is only a matter of time.
Look, there's another guy coming."
"Bang"
Mason's heart was pierced instantly.
That was the wound caused by the hideous zombie claws piercing the heart, but unfortunately, simple physical attacks were completely useless to the water man.
The activated speed ring allowed Mason to easily dodge the sonic punch that was coming from the side in the next second, and in the near-light-speed entanglement, he easily caught the teeth of the zombie Quicksilver biting towards him.
The opponent obviously couldn't keep up with Mason's speed.
In the next second, his leg was broken by a shot from the electromagnetic gun at close range to his face. The embarrassed Quicksilver was thrown out at several times the speed of sound, and his broken leg flew far away.
However, this injury was not fatal to the zombie, who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, his hideous face still screaming at Mason.
Mason took out a magic bottle and walked towards Quicksilver. He tilted his head and said:
"The zombified Maximov siblings, this is the 'blackened hidden version'... Uh, does it make me look too cold-blooded when I say this? Making fun of other people's disasters or something."
"You know, but you still ask!"
The hat complained:
"Ever since you blew up your home world with your own hands, you no longer have so much compassion for the world. The naive idealist Mason probably died forever in the stardust of his hometown.
But this level is not so bad, the only consequence is being locked up in Akas class.
After all, you're still trying to save a world that's in danger from every angle, so you're probably still a good person?"
"Hat, your question really hurts me."
Mason sealed Quicksilver in a voodoo bottle and threw his broken leg in, planning to "treat" him later. Then he stood in place, raised his gun, and aimed at the zombie Wanda who was being harassed by twelve hunting sentinels in the air.
The long-lost combat assistance was turned on. When the floating aiming frame locked onto the target, he whispered:
"You see, everything I've encountered so far has reminded me that in these bad times, it might be easier to be a bad guy who goes along with the bad guys.
But after thinking about it, I still think it’s good to be a good person.
However, 'good guy' and 'ruthless' don't seem to be antonyms, right? "
"Bang"
——
"This one is frozen solid. Hurry and bring it over to the fire to thaw it out! Hey! Turn slowly when you guys are turning it over! That's a person! Not meat!"
Downstairs of the girls' dormitory at Xavier College, Harley directed her two dogs to dig out frozen mutant students from the frozen building.
Agent Brand beside her raised his hands and activated the high temperature in his palms to warm up the frozen students.
That's her mutant ability, heating up.
It seems useless, but in fact, under the guidance of old man Nick Fury, Agent Blade has made good use of this seemingly useless ability.
She can even heat up invisible things.
For example, quietly igniting the anger in other people's hearts... In other words, he has first-class taunting skills and is a natural strong tank.
"oops."
Harley, who was swinging a shovel to dig ice and experiencing the feeling of a "dancing shovel class", suddenly screamed. She reached out and slapped her neck hard, complaining:
"Why are there still bugs here! It's freezing and snowy, and I feel something falling on my neck. That damn little bug wants to bite me!"
Her complaints went unnoticed by the busy Agent Brand.
But Harley just said it casually. She continued to dig the ice happily to try to find another frozen female student. But soon, she felt the strange sound of being surrounded by insects again.
Only this time, Harley didn't act rashly.
She pretended that she didn't notice, but in fact she had secretly mobilized her venom suit, intending to give the nasty bug a "surprise" when it landed again.
Most people would never think of doing this. After all, which normal person would get angry with a bug?
But Harley is not a normal person.
She could proudly declare that she was a mental patient because she knew that this unique "label" would make Mr. K more concerned about her health.
She enjoyed this strange ambiguous relationship between patient and doctor.
Anyway, when the nasty "bug" landed on Harley's slender neck again and was about to bite off a piece of her flesh, the black symbiote suddenly surged up and squeezed the bug together with a bang.
An ordinary bug would definitely be doomed if squeezed by the symbiote, but this "bug" was unexpectedly strong.
It fell dizzy from Harley's neck onto the snow on the ground, and suddenly grew to the size of a normal person in the next moment. The female zombie wearing a Wasp battle suit with long wings howled and flicked off her helmet, revealing her hideous zombie-like mouth and bit towards Harley.
As a result, the quick-reacting "Robin Girl" swung a shovel and hit her on the head. The power of the symbiote exploded and knocked the dangerous female zombie several meters away.
"Ant-Man! It's Ant-Man!"
Harry pulled out his pistol and fired randomly, screaming:
"Hurry! Help! It's this flying female ant-man spreading the zombie virus! Damn it! I knew I should have brought insecticide, these pests are so bad.
They are no longer satisfied with just sucking blood, now they are starting to eat people!"
