Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 14: The bad-hearted unlucky people usually don't have good luck
"Tell the truth! Where did you get these sentinel robots?"
In the snowy Ontario wilderness, Storm, covered in dust and with her clothes torn to pieces by chaos magic, stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Mason who was sealing the zombie Wanda into a magic bottle.
She asked rudely:
"All the Sentinels in this world have long been destroyed by Magneto. Where did you find them? There is news that that bastard Tony Stark secretly restarted the Sentinel research. Are you his lackey?"
"Tony? With his pitiful financial resources?"
Mason looked up and said as he screwed the lid on the voodoo bottle:
"How much do you think he would have to offer me to betray my people?
And you should have some confidence in your king lover. I think if Star-Lord Black Panther can trust me, then as his secret lover, you should also be able to trust me."
"Can't you just stop talking about this?"
The aggressive Storm Girl suddenly felt inferior in this matter. After all, it was indeed a bit indecent for her to become the king's mistress.
She sighed and looked at the zombie Wanda who was still howling after being put into a magic bottle by Mason in a strange way.
The latter was not only suppressed by the number of sentinel robots, but also shot through the body at least five times by Mason's sneak attack with an electromagnetic gun. It turned out that zombies are not afraid of this kind of damage. If it were a normal person, he would have died from excessive blood loss long ago.
Although Wanda's fierce counterattack also destroyed three Hunter-Killer Sentinels, the remaining nine learned "experience" from this loss.
Crimson beams of energy have lit up on their special bodies, indicating that they have resistance to chaos magic.
This is the most frightening thing about the Sentinel robots. Their original design allows them to learn and evolve, and their absorption and utilization of the X gene makes them the natural enemy of mutants.
Mason took out this thing, which made his image in Storm's mind much worse.
"If I told you that these hunting sentinels were a gift from the mutant royalty of another world, would you think I was crazy?"
Mason put Zombie Wanda's bottle into his arms, took out his X-Knight medal and handed it to Storm, saying:
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not crazy. What I said is the truth. You can understand that another mutant world has foreseen the apocalyptic crisis that you will encounter in this world, so they sent me to help you.
As the price of aid, the mutants in this post-war world need to join the big family of "Utopia".
Hold on to that medal, Ororo. The Supreme Professor has left a mental mark on it, and all those with the X-gene can hear his call."
At Mason's reminder, Storm clenched the X-Knight Medal.
As Mason said, a mental mark that only mutants can open was activated, and the brief information about the X Royal Family and Utopia was also sent into Storm's mind.
After a moment, she returned the badge to Mason with a complicated expression.
She said:
"I... I can't believe it. Parallel worlds, impact disasters, and a unified mutant nation, it sounds like a fairy tale."
"But you know there's no need for me to deceive you about this."
Mason glanced at her, took out the Wakanda robe he had woven earlier from his bag, threw it to her, and said:
"Aren't you feeling cold here with your belly and legs exposed? Change your clothes. We have to go back quickly. The leakage of the source zombie virus makes me very uneasy.
How did you find out about the virus spreading just now? "
"I was just planning to take a shower."
Storm put on a Wakanda robe to cover her torn suit, and raised a storm to carry herself and Mason back to the academy, saying:
"Then Catwoman suddenly burst in, and I noticed her strange change, but then I noticed Wanda screaming and running out of the dormitory. I am a mentor at the academy and an apprentice of Professor X, and it is my duty to protect the students.
But I still have no idea how this happened.
Perhaps a Skrull conspiracy?"
"If they have the source virus, do you think they would still go to the trouble of invading this world? Those alien bastards are very cruel."
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
“Use your brain, Ororo. If you want to suppress that arrogant alien robot woman in T’Challa’s harem, you must use your wisdom to please His Majesty the Black Panther.
The original liquid of this virus is only stored by the Star Club, and it is a strategic material and will never be given to other forces for use...
Don't look at me like that!
Although I am also a member of the Star Society, I am not here to carry out pollution tactics."
"Mr. K! Come back soon!"
Harley's excited scream rang out over the team's communications, and she shouted to Mason:
"I caught the culprit! It's Ant-Man! The flying Ant-Man zombie is spreading the virus. She disguised herself as a bug and bit those poor students, but I caught her.
It is my love for Mr. K that makes me sharp and strong. "
"Ant-Man?"
This answer really surprised Mason.
He couldn't imagine why Ant-Man appeared in the Mutant Academy and turned into a zombie, but he and Storm still rushed back to the academy as quickly as possible.
As soon as she landed, Storm saw Logan, with an ugly face, counting the number of students, while Cyclops was holding the frozen Jean and whispering comfort to her.
Just now, Qin used her mental power to protect some students and prevent them from being transformed into zombies. It can be said that she perfectly fulfilled the duties of a mentor.
"Logan, how many children have been..."
Storm stepped forward and asked, and Uncle Wolf shook his head and said angrily:
"Phantom, Wanda, Siren, Polaris, Petra, Li Qianhuan, and Quicksilver... Damn it! I warned him not to enter the girls' dormitory casually, but that bastard just wouldn't listen.
There will be no good result for a man who does such dirty things, ah, damn it!"
"The situation is still under control and the losses are not too great ."
Mason's voice came from the side. He said:
"But this place can't be lived in anymore. The zombie virus will cause long-term pollution to the soil and water. I'll take care of the water, and as for the soil, burn it and seal it up."
"Loss? You call my students being turned into monsters a loss?"
The angry Wolverine roared and popped his claws. He stared at Mason and said:
"You make me feel uneasy. Who knows if this has anything to do with you? Tell me! What's going on?"
Faced with Uncle Wolf's anger due to the loss of his students, Mason did not indulge this reckless man. He already had a more reliable old wolf as a partner, and the middle-aged wolf in front of him felt inferior in all aspects.
The moment Logan pounced, Mason took a step back, and the Phoenix Fox flew out in flames, screaming and slamming into Wolverine's chest.
The scorching Phoenix fire instantly ignited and turned him into a burning pillar of fire.
"Compared to the other Logan, your control over anger is really disappointing."
Mason curled his lips and walked towards the smug little cutie Harley, who was holding a glass bottle of snacks in her hand and shaking it vigorously, as if trying to knock out the "nasty little bugs" sealed inside.
Seeing Mason coming over, Harley immediately jumped up and handed the bottle in her hand to him, saying:
"That's the guy! She even tried to turn into a bug and bite me, but Venom knocked her out. It's a female Ant-Man!"
"She has a special nickname called 'The Wasp Woman'."
Mason took the bottle and looked at the "little guy" flying around and bumping around randomly.
It should be that the Pym particles in the Wasp's equipment have been completely lost, so she cannot recover to her normal size and can only remain in a shrunken state.
With the amazing perception of the Isu people, Mason quickly captured the characteristics of this "little thing". The Wasp's battle suit on the latter was very shabby and the robe had a weird style, which was incompatible with the popular culture of the real world.
"It should be the original Wasp, Ms. Janet."
Mason stroked his chin and said:
"Judging from her attire, she should have entered the quantum world."
"Good news! Logan!"
Just as Mason was checking the identity of the zombie Wasp, Beast Hank, one of the leaders of the Mutant Academy, ran out and said to Logan, who had just recovered from his burns, and Ororo, who looked sad:
"Polaris and Siren are not dead! They were two Skrull spies disguised as them. The two unlucky guys were transformed into zombies and just revealed their true appearance. We were almost fooled."
Wolverine was excited by the news, but soon felt disappointed again. He said:
"But Phantom Cat was still..."
"Tsk, fake."
When Mason heard what Hank said, he immediately took out his "collector's edition figurine" and found that there was only a naked female Skrull zombie left in the bottle containing the Phantom Cat. This made him very disappointed and he threw the bottle on the ground.
Damn it!
He suffered an embarrassing situation that many model makers will encounter, and got a "fake" product.
Damn these Skrulls!
But Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are real, which makes Mason feel a little relieved.
"Are you happy too early?"
He checked his jars, held the bottle containing the Wasp zombie, and said to the people in front of him:
"Let's not talk about whether there are any Skrulls among the remaining students. Let's just talk about what to do with this 'culprit'? It's impossible for the zombie Wasp to cross such a long distance and come here to hunt.
In other words, she should have appeared from nearby, but is there an Ant-Man family laboratory nearby?"
"have!"
Beast Hank, who was somewhat famous in the scientist circle, scratched his dark blue, furry face, thought for a moment, and immediately answered:
"A year ago, Dr. Pym and his daughter were expelled from California for conducting dangerous experiments. Their quantum experiments nearly destroyed half of San Francisco.
After being expelled, they came to the primeval forest near Ontario, where there was an underground base left by the Allies during World War II.
I used to work there.
Dr. Pym also informed us in advance not to approach his experimental area, which is only 20 kilometers away from the academy, and the academy is the nearest inhabited area."
"We have to go there right away!"
Mason nodded and said:
“I suspect that’s the real source of the contamination. If you don’t want the zombie virus to spread in this world, follow me immediately.
Harley!
"receive!"
The little cutie licked his lips, grabbed two biological baits, and threw them at the students of the Mutant Academy who were gathered together because of the emergency .
Invisible energy rushed through the crowd, and with two screams, the last two Skrull spies disguised as Colossus and Beichen could not control their "free upgraded" camouflage abilities, and in an instant they became things made of the same material as the wooden chairs under their butts.
Although they tried very hard to change back, their fate after being exposed was indeed miserable.
Sharp steel claws and scorching heat rays shot out at the same time. The two alien spies whose feet were frozen by Mason were still trying to fight back, but they were killed on the spot by the completely enraged X-Men after a few seconds.
"Shua"
Blood spilled from the steel claws onto the ground. The last hidden danger was eliminated, and Wolverine looked at Mason with less hostility. He whispered:
"You said before that Nick Fury was planning to launch a counterattack against the Skrulls? Great, the X-Men are joining! But those children who were abducted and replaced..."
"Fury is on his way to rescue them."
Mason pointed to the sky and said:
"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to see them again in a week at most, if this world still exists by then."
——
Storm, Grey Jean and Cyclops were left to stabilize the situation at the academy, while Beast Hank and Wolverine joined Mason, Harley and Agent Brand's team to go to the Pym family's experimental site.
They chose a quick way of travel that was very typical of the local area. A large sled was pushed out of the college, and Harley's two dogs were harnessed. With the cheers of Ms. Robin, they pulled everyone into the pristine wilderness of Ontario.
Amazon war dogs have great endurance. They can pull a few people across the snowy field as if it were playing. Under Harley's superb control, the dog sled galloping across the snowy field quickly reached its destination.
Everyone walked towards the abandoned base cautiously, and Mason continued to monitor the surrounding air and pollution.
The good news is that until Hank, wearing protective clothing, opened the entrance to the underground base, there was no sign of the zombie virus leaking out, which means that the situation may not be as .
But the bad news is that as soon as they entered the underground base, they encountered another "Ant-Man zombie".
Hank Pym!
The real Ant-Man, this unlucky guy was also turned into a zombie.
And judging from the scars left on his mouth, it must be that his wife gave him a passionate "zombie kiss", and the infatuated old man even had half of his tongue bitten off.
The zombified Ant-Man is a very dangerous attacker.
From the series of accidents caused by the Wasp at X-School, it can be seen that they can carry the zombie virus in their shrinking bodies and allow it to spread silently and cause terrifying events.
However, Mason and others came prepared.
Including Wolverine, everyone put on the standard Isu vanguard armor of Team K to protect the exposed skin, leaving Dr. Pym, who was hungry for flesh and blood, with no place to use his strength.
As the best scientist in the world, he should have had a lot of supporting high-tech weapons. However, his scientific literacy and wisdom dropped sharply after he became a zombie, so he could no longer activate those useful but complicated equipment.
After a game of "hit the fly", the zombie Ant-Man was successfully "recovered" by Mason, who controlled the water flow to overwhelm him.
Mason also maliciously put the zombie Ant-Man and the zombie Wasp in the same magic bottle as a "love nest" between the old couple, which can be regarded as a "couple reunion" in a sense.
"There are still people alive inside!"
As they got closer to the depths of the underground base, Wolverine's nose twitched. He took a few steps forward, grabbed a sealed hatch, turned around and said to Mason and Hank:
"It's a very weak heartbeat, but I can feel that someone is alive! Come and help!"
"Blast it open! I brought a door-breaking bomb."
Harley chewed gum and walked forward to drive away Wolverine who was trying to push open the heavy door with his body. While she complained that the young version of Wolverine had a poor brain and was not as smart as the old one, she skillfully placed various explosives on the door.
This scene made the furry beast Hank bar his teeth, and whispered to Mason :
"Hey man, what does your girlfriend do? This doesn't feel right."
"She is a criminal psychologist and researcher at a famous mental hospital, and she is also a genuine doctor of medicine. Her skillful manipulation of bombs comes from the dexterity commonly possessed by her fellow Gotham residents.
It's easier to find a bomb-making tutorial in that damn place than to go buy ice cream."
Mason replied, becoming interested when he heard about researcher Hank.
This is a colleague.
So he asked:
"So what's her main field of research? Explosives?"
"No, she is responsible for being studied by me."
Mason pushed his nose bridge and took a step back. Amid Harley's cheers, who covered her ears, a hole was successfully broken in the door in front of him. Wolverine immediately rushed in, and a few seconds later he rushed out holding a weak girl.
The latter was injured.
But fortunately, it was not an infection with the zombie virus but rather the wound worsened and was not treated well.
"I need to perform surgery on her, otherwise she won't be able to hold on."
Mason took a look at the poor condition of the black-haired girl, took out the surgical tool box and said to Hank:
"You come and help."
After saying this, he reached out to wipe the sweat off the poor girl's forehead and whispered:
"Hold on, Miss Hope. You're not going to die today."
