Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 4 Resident Evil · Gotham · New DLC "The Corruption Kingdom" is now on sale
The children were rescued, and the chaos in Gotham was calmed down after the intervention of Team K's affiliated forces, but the hidden story behind this matter is definitely not that simple.
Mason had no intention of intervening, he was busy preparing for battle.
The entire Osborne Tower was a busy scene. Looking out from the window of Mason's laboratory, he could see the Second Black Pearl floating in the sky above the abandoned city of New York, with transport drones constantly coming and going to deliver various supplies to it.
Those were the pirate remnants cleaning up the city, and they let their vassal troops enter to kill zombies for training.
The research and development of the vaccine against the source zombie virus has entered its final stage. After Mason spared no effort and resources, or more precisely, used the weak Philosopher's Stone as an alchemical medium, the vaccine that was originally effective against weak viruses was also endowed with resistance to the source virus, but the effectiveness of a single injection was shortened to less than twelve hours.
Large-scale prevention is not possible, but if the implementation scenario is set in a war then it will not be a big problem.
“They will definitely use the original zombie virus, which is a weapon that will have a drastic impact on the war situation in a short period of time. It is highly unlikely that they will use it at the beginning of the war.
Unless the warlock has a vaccine that can be given to the pioneers who join the war.
But the hunter and the swordsman assured me that the Star Society did not have that strict vaccine, otherwise the 2149 universe would not have been sealed by the World Gate itself. "
Mason sat on the Mobius chair and looked at the Aegis carrier in the distance. He stroked his chin and thought:
"That is an unconventional measure. When they are facing failure, polluting the world becomes an option, even if it will cause them to lose all kinds of precious resources in a Beyond Grade A world.
Likewise, weapons that can destroy a planet in an instant will also be considered for use at this stage.
So the most dangerous moment in this war is when we are about to win, but I am prepared for this. They have deterrent weapons, and I have them too."
The captain narrowed his eyes, took out his notebook and wrote a few additions to the plan, including the plan for mobilizing the reserve team at the last minute.
He has been thinking about these possible situations and making advance preparations for them during this period, just like Green Lantern complaining that Batman is always thinking about how to beat his own people. This is the thinking mode of the Bat Family.
Check for gaps, prepare in advance, and try to ensure that you have cards to play at any time.
"Mason, something's happening."
Just when the captain was about to use the super computing power of the Mobius chair to improve the backup plan, the door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open and Barbara walked in quickly.
The older sister must have been lifting weights in the training room just now. She was sweating all over but had a serious expression. When she approached Mason, she sent a video to him, which was then played on the projection in front of the Mobius chair.
The picture quality is dark, and it is obvious that it was shot with a mobile phone. The lens is very unstable and always shaking. It can be said to be a hellish shooting technique. But these are not big problems. The pixel restoration of the smart chair makes this mobile phone video look like a blockbuster movie.
Well, if Mason loses his job in the future, he might be able to make a living by editing videos with this Mobius chair. Earning a million dollars a month is not a dream.
"This was sent back by Gordon. The location is in the city sewer of Gotham. He said he found the source of today's chaos and it is related to the Legion of Doom."
Barbara said something at the side, and Mason nodded and looked at the scene in front of him. Gordon, who was tracking, walked forward along the dim sewer and soon heard some strange roars.
As the focus of the picture was adjusted, many strange individuals gathered together in front of us. They looked like humans but were also mixed with animals like stray dogs or cats.
Their postures are twisted and they look like a group of walking zombies.
This scene made Mason, who was sitting in the chair, sit up straight immediately. Could it be that the stars had spread the virus in Gotham City ?
But this conjecture was soon broken.
As Gordon approached, the camera showed several men in black talking to a big man among the zombies.
The big man seemed to be able to control the dead, and they surrounded him like soldiers guarding a king.
The two sides seemed to have reached some kind of agreement quickly. The big guy who controlled the group of zombies waved his hand, and these strange-looking dead people fell down one after another. Then they followed the mysterious man out of the sewer and disappeared into the darkness.
At the end of this cell phone video, Gordon cautiously approached the corpses and found that they had decayed into piles of bones the moment they fell.
"This is not a zombie! Even the source virus doesn't have this kind of bone-rotting power."
Mason froze the video, turned to Barbara and said:
"Go change your clothes, and call Zha Kang and Ivy. We may have to go back to Gotham right away."
"Um."
Batgirl turned and left because she was worried about her father. In less than two minutes, the scumbag Kang and Poison Ivy who was taking care of the wasteland forest arrived at Osborne Tower one after another.
"It's the power of the Black of Decay, there's no doubt about it!"
Zha Kang immediately gave his judgment.
Although Fujin is one of the hosts of the Green of All Things, she doesn't know much about other root powers. The two looked at Zha Kang, who lit a cigarette and introduced:
"I also lent my body to the swamp monster last time so that he could do something with his girlfriend. I heard him talk about this when he was controlling my body to fulfill his last wish.
I tell you that the process was really exciting..."
"Well, you don't actually need to go into such obscene details. No one is interested."
Mason sighed a little tiredly and said:
"Just get straight to the point."
"Well, I just think this is very exciting. After all, it's the first time for me to watch my own body and another woman. Ahem, okay, let's talk about the story."
Seeing that a vine had already entangled his legs, Zha Kang had to be serious.
He blew out a smoke ring and said seriously:
“The green of all things represents nature, the red of all living things represents life, and the black of decay represents death. This is the original three-way game of the root power of the world, and it is also an endless struggle throughout the history of civilization.
Because our world civilization is prosperous and has never been interrupted, the green of all things and the red of all beings have always suppressed the corrupt power of death. However, the relationship between the three is not a simple hostility. They come from the same source and grow and decline with each other.
When the swamp monster was using my body to enjoy himself to the point of ascension, it warned me that the power of the green of all things had been guided and gathered by the stars, which meant that the agents of the other two forces must have appeared as well.
But things are a little complicated here."
Constantine coughed, held up three fingers and said:
"The swamp monster said that it could feel that the power of the root of the world has been changing over time. This guy inherited the memories of all the previous swamp monsters. It affirmed that after entering the modern era, with the rapid development of civilization and scientific power, the root power has also undergone fascinating changes.
It says that in addition to the three source forces, there are more source forces that have awakened, but are still hidden in the world waiting to be discovered.
If this damn Legion of Doom has already found the Black of Decay, it's hard to say whether they will continue to look for other source powers.
If we assume the worst, I estimate that the agent of All Red may also be among the Legion of Doom.
Perhaps this is the plan of the Star Society?
Gather all the root power to perform a simple and crude "world restart"..."
“Can you do that?”
Mason and Poison Ivy were startled. He asked:
“This instant destruction and rebirth.”
"It should be possible. After all, the emergence of the entire world is the result of the interaction of the three source forces. Our world can be evaluated as Beyond Grade A not only because we superheroes are very hardworking, but also because the world where the three source forces can be born is indeed very rare.
Each one has huge potential.”
Zha Kang stroked his chin and said uncertainly:
"But now the power of the Green of All Things is in our hands. Their plan to destroy all existence in an instant has essentially failed."
“But we can’t take it lightly.”
Poison Ivy rubbed her brows and asked again:
"This Black of Decay...does it have any special abilities?"
"It's corrupt. It's written in their names."
Zha Kang put out his cigarette and said:
"Because it represents death, it can control corpses, but it's more than just corpses. According to the memories that the swamp monster showed me, it can also release power to turn living people into 'hunters' between life and death, to achieve rapid infection like the zombie virus.
Once the number of infected people reaches a certain limit, the Kingdom of Decay will appear in the material world, which means that the balance of the three forces will be broken.
Well, I understand! "
The dark wizard hammered his left hand and said to Mason:
"Those guys are going to summon the Kingdom of Decay, one of the six origin worlds, to come to this world! We have to act, Mason. It will be very troublesome if the situation gets to this point.
The worldwide counterattack of the forces of death is a very alarming event!"
"Do you need us to go together?"
The three Kryptonians also received the news and rushed over with Barbara. They just happened to hear the last part of Zack's "ghost story" and immediately felt the crisis.
But Mason, sitting in the Mobius chair, shook his head and said:
“You stay here as backup and wait for our news. Have Damian gather his team as well.
Kara, go inform the Green Goblin, I need several pioneer teams under his command to go to Star Castle immediately, join the Warlock's war pact and be ready to support us at any time."
"good!"
Supergirl nodded and no longer had her former rebellious look. To put it in a more vulgar way, her brain was now in the shape of Mason.
"I heard something happened in Gotham?"
Catwoman, who was doing "restorative training" in Osborne Tower, also ran over with the fully armed Ertong. Zha Kang whispered the situation to her, and Catwoman immediately looked serious.
Mason looked around at the people in front of him and said with a curled lip:
"Team K has returned to the 1.0 era. It's really nostalgic. All right, everyone, get ready, let's go over and take a look."
"Not going through the World Gate?"
Zha Kang looked at Mason in surprise. The captain gave him a mysterious smile, reached out and tapped the armrest of the Mobius chair. He said :
"Look, I'm going to show you a trick."
"Buzz"
A beam of white light projected from the suspended mechanical chair, surrounding everyone in a circle. When the mechanical sound countdown ended, it broke through the plane and sent everyone accurately into the top-floor office of the Afterlife Bar.
This was also Mason's first time trying the reality interference module of the Mobius chair. It turned out that this thing was worth the money, but the energy consumption was a bit high.
This time the inter-dimensional teleportation consumed half of the energy of a weak magic stone.
Well, I'd better go through the free world gate next time, Mason thought. After all, whose Philosopher's Stone was blown by the wind? Can it withstand such consumption?
Even though he's the honorary Robin, his last name isn't Wayne, right?
"This thing is awesome!"
Zha Kang gave Mason a thumbs up. He found that Mason could always give him some new work every once in a while.
But before the members of Team K 1.0 could comment too much on Mason's new chair, the door of the office was immediately pushed open, and Miss Huazi, wearing a bulletproof vest and holding a smart pistol, rushed in and said to Mason with a serious face:
"Sir, there is trouble in the city! Undead monsters have emerged from the sewers and are attacking all living people. Manager Charles, Harley and Miss Quinn have gone out to investigate the situation. Mr. Gordon and his police officers have also established a primary security zone in the city.
He asked us for support.”
“Has it become so chaotic?”
Mason frowned and continued to listen to Miss Huazi's report, while Catwoman approached the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down. The whole street in front of her was in chaos.
The bionic guards of the Next Life Bar set up positions on the street and, under the command of several cyber mercenaries, continuously brought innocent people into the nearby safe zone.
The hacker girl from the 2077 era is indeed full of martial virtues!
Judy herself was wearing a full set of terrorist squad uniform, holding a pink girlish pistol and standing on a released demon lizard to command the blocking battle.
There were flickering fires in front of the position. The "corpses" that were defeated by bullets were slightly different from zombies. Once they fell to the ground, they would turn into white bones.
But its manifestation is no different from the zombie virus. Once a life is bitten or scratched and infected, it will be transformed into one of these "supernatural zombies" in seconds.
"Activate defense program."
Mason instructed Huazi:
“Immediately download the consciousness data of 500 members of the Arasaka Corps, activate the bionic arsenal and equip them with vehicles, and hand over the command to Gordon, so that he can control the entire city as quickly as possible.
Ivy!
Can you feel where the source of the power of decay is?"
He looked at Poison Ivy, who closed her eyes and sensed for a few seconds before pointing to the center of the city and saying:
“There! It’s underground. It should be the place where Gordon filmed the secret meeting before, but the real agent of the Black Decay is not here.
He just had a little bit of strength left.
I have commissioned Groot to come here to continue tracking the movements of the Black Agent of Decay."
After saying that, Mason stuffed something into her hand.
Ivy looked at the jewelry box in her hand. She could feel the green power orb in the box that had been extracted from the remains of the swamp monster.
"Use it when necessary."
Mason warned:
"I know there's a risk of losing control, but you have to..."
"I understand."
Poison Ivy nodded and said:
"I am also a member of Team K. I will not shirk my responsibilities!"
"Sweetheart!"
A few minutes later, a video window popped up on the Mobius chair. In the picture, Harley was making a call in a dim area. In the background behind her, Quinn, covered in the Venom suit, was slaughtering a group of screaming zombies.
Harley blew a kiss to Mason and yelled:
"Quinn and I found a big monster here! It's Killer Croc! No, not the original one, but the dead and strengthened Killer Croc. It's the one controlling the corpse on the ground.
And we found out the identity of the big monster that Gordon photographed earlier.
It's Solomon Grundy!
The giant undead zombie from Gotham's nursery rhymes.
Come here quickly, Quinn, the weak Kite Man and I are tracking the zombie version of Killer Croc, and it wants to play hide-and-seek with us in the sewer."
"Shua"
Less than a second after Harley's video call ended, the master called again. There was no joy on Batman's gloomy face.
He said in a hoarse voice:
"Do you need me to go back?"
"No, I'm here."
Mason replied:
"You have a new job in Metropolis, sir. It was Lex Luthor's Legion of Doom who planned all this. I suspect his base should be near Metropolis.
You must find them before Metropolis is turned into a land of decay.
The new swamp monster will join you. In addition, I will give you command of my Death Knell Legion. Find Lai Tu as quickly as possible!
Find the pathetic waker."
"Um."
The master hung up the phone, and Mason looked at his companions behind him.
The fully armed Ertong, Barbara in a bat hacker costume, Zhakang blowing smoke rings and dressed like a playboy, and Selena who is exercising and still full of charm.
Not to mention the kite flyer who is still crawling down the sewer.
Tsk, the classic K-Team that once dominated the world is back.
“I don’t want to say I miss the past.”
Mason activated the Mobius chair's armed mode and winked at his team members:
"But the fact is that I like being with you guys more than the Kryptonians who always do things smoothly. So, Team K!
Set off!"
"Bang"
The expensive floor-to-ceiling windows of the office were shattered by a beam of light. The Moubis chair carrying Mason flew out first. The agile Catwoman lay on the back of the mechanical chair, fully armed with the Venom suit.
Zha Kang summoned the magic levitation cloak and followed closely behind, Barbara and Ertong spread out their bat cloaks and glided down, and Poison Ivy, who was at the end, sighed and called upon the vines to carry her through the air.
Team K 1.0 was living in harmony and intimacy with each other, but she seemed like an outsider. She could not feel the warmth from Mason and his teammates, only the noise. For a moment, she could not fit into this sweet little team.
Oh, this is being excluded.
Workplace bullying is indeed everywhere. It seems that I need to hug and stick with my best friends Harley and Quinn to feel better.
