Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 6 Millimeter Oil! Don’t zombies have corpse rights?
Team K, who came to observe the Black Power of Decay, encountered something unexpected, but it was not a bad thing.
The power to make zombies speak is a surprise. Before this, all research on zombie restoration has basically ended in failure. Except for using the symbiote card bug, it is difficult to restore the virus-infected people whose life forms have been changed to their previous state of consciousness.
This makes the source zombie virus an unsolvable threat, but now, Mason seems to see hope for a worst-case scenario.
"ah!"
Killer Croc, who was repeatedly killed and resurrected, can finally rest in peace.
After a scream, a ball of black root energy was snatched out from its rotten bones, as if digging out the heart, causing this hapless third-line villain to fall to the ground in an instant, twitching and turning into a pale corpse.
Before dying, this guy used his last bit of strength to give Mason the middle finger, representing his deep hatred for the captain of Team K.
In response to this, Mason said that Killer Croc was really too dramatic and should have just died honestly, but he had to use his last bit of energy on this.
how?
Do you still want me to remember you?
What kind of villain are you? Is it worth it for Master Mason Cooper to spend even a second remembering how you died?
However, as a "lucky man" who has carried the black power of corruption, the destruction of the body does not mean the end of the cursed life. If the State of Decay can really be maintained in the material world for a long time, then Killer Croc still has hope of being resurrected from the dark hell with the wrath of revenge, and then being beaten into pieces by Team K again.
There is no way, the gap in strength is just too big.
Zha Kang waved the coral trident in his hand and moved the extracted fragment of power in front of everyone, like a black candle flame hovering in the air waiting for the next carrier.
Its pure energy form is almost identical to the Green Power of All Things that was previously taken from the Swamp Thing.
The surviving members of Team K looked at it with vigilance, while Poison Ivy's face was full of disgust. For her, observing this energy that was completely opposed to life was no less irritating than the anger she felt when she saw someone setting fire in the woods.
After all, this sister practices extreme environmental protectionism on a daily basis: "If you dare to cut down trees, I will cut you down."
But the three zombies present looked at the black energy with longing eyes. Even Professor McGonagall, who had regained her wisdom, couldn't help but stretch out her claws to touch it.
The zombie Wanda and zombie Quicksilver next to them stared at Mason fiercely.
But they did not try to resist or do anything irrational. They knew very well that the right to distribute the energy of this ball of decayed black was in Mason's hands. However, the three zombies kept scratching their heads unconsciously.
Ouch, my head is itchy, my brain is going to grow out!
"You should think carefully about this."
Zha Kang held the coral trident and said to the three zombies in front of him:
"Taking this thing does not mean you will be free. The price of regaining your sanity and clarity is that you will be assimilated into the kingdom of decay and darkness.
According to my good brother Swamp Thing, to enter the realm of these root powers means to be eternally chained from which there is no escape."
The fact that the scumbag Kang was able to warn in such a serious tone shows that the Black of Decay is indeed not a good choice in the field of power.
But to the three zombies, this warning seemed superfluous and meaningless.
Brothers and sisters are already so miserable, do you still care about making them even more miserable?
joke!
"We are already dead."
Zombie Wanda stared at Zhakang with disgust. She was wearing a cloak that Harley threw to her, covering her robe that was torn by magic and her sickly pale but still plump body .
She opened her twisted zombie mouth full of sharp teeth and said in a very uncomfortable hoarse and dry tone:
"The moment I was bitten by the damn Wasp, I knew I was doomed. I was unwilling to accept this ending. The days that followed were a blur. Only hunger and the desire for flesh and blood filled my gradually decaying soul.
I don't know what I did during that time, but when I saw your captain trying to recycle me with the magic bottle, I knew that I lost my freedom after losing my life.
This is not what I want to see.
I want my sanity and clarity back. I don't want to turn into a monster that only knows how to eat and kill."
"Well, I don't think as much as my sister does."
The zombie Quicksilver next to him was squatting on the ground, smoking a lit cigarette like a little punk. This was a reward given to him by the scumbag Kang Gang. Because zombies don't need to breathe, this guy can easily achieve the legendary "epic lung-passing".
However, in his zombie form, he felt no satisfaction from enjoying this leisure time, and was simply trying to reminisce about his days as a living being.
He stared at the black ball of light in front of him and said to the people in Team K:
"You said you were dead, so you were dead. But now I'm suddenly alive again. Naturally, I don't want to go back to being a fool. I also hope to maintain this half-dead state. I can pay a lot for it."
"Tell me, Mason, what do you want in return for giving us this ball of corrupted power?"
Professor McGonagall transformed the symbiote on her body into a witch's robe and pointed hat, trying hard to maintain the dignity of the Hogwarts headmaster in her memory.
This was not her first time dealing with Mason, so she spoke more directly.
She tried to strike a deal that would benefit both parties.
Mason had no objection to this, but the catwoman next to him was a little unhappy, because it meant that she might lose her favorite good cat forever.
"Actually, I don't mean to stop you, this is a very good observation experiment."
Mason sat on the Mobius chair, observing and recording the power characteristics of the Black of Decay. His eyes shone with a bit of the enthusiasm of a researcher. He pushed the frame on his nose and said to the three people in front of him:
"You can share this power. If everything goes well, there will be the entire root power of the Black Corruption waiting for you to seize.
But I have two requests.
First, we need to calm down the current corruption and chaos in Gotham.
Second, you must accept my research. As the host and agent of the black power of decay, you must tell me all the changes and feelings after the addition of this root power of death. You must also cooperate with a series of subsequent targeted research.
If you agree to the terms, you can take advantage of it now."
"Mason, we don't have the means to control them."
The vigilant Ertong came over and whispered:
"You can't stop them if they decide to run away."
"Don't be silly , why would they run away? Where could they run to?"
Catwoman curled her lips, and the smart and sexy old lady crossed her arms and said:
“Didn’t you hear what Ivy said?
The black of decay, like the green of all things, is the root power of this world and cannot exist independently from the material world. If they use this power, they will be bound to this world.
They can't go anywhere except to live in a state of decay."
"You can leave temporarily."
Poison Ivy added:
"It's just like me staying in Osborne Tower and going to other worlds, but the call in my heart will become stronger and stronger, until I can no longer bear the pressure in my heart and return here on my own initiative.
It’s like an invisible lock, so there’s no need to worry that they will abandon this world.”
"That's fine."
Ertong nodded and stopped trying to stop him.
Mason stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. The Maximoff siblings were still a little hesitant, but Professor McGonagall stepped forward and grabbed the ball of black energy.
She did not take all of it but was very restrained and took only one third, fully demonstrating the great wizard's rigorous character and noble personality.
She put the flickering black light in her hand into her mouth, letting it diffuse in her shriveled and emaciated body, as if some kind of "recovery" process was quickly "filling up" Professor McGonagall's zombie body.
Although his emaciated face has not yet returned to its appearance when he was alive, his withered hair has grown back.
A few seconds later, when she opened her eyes, her originally scarlet pupils had been filled with black, looking extremely enchanting. Although she still had obvious zombie features such as claws and teeth sticking out of her lips, she was not as terrifying as before.
“I didn’t feel any changes…”
The old wizard touched her face, and Catwoman handed her a hand mirror at the right time so that she could see her changes.
The real old lady held up the mirror and looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and then described to Mason in her still hoarse voice:
"My mind is much clearer now, and memories are coming back to me, but death has changed me forever. The hunger for flesh and blood given by the zombie virus still exists but can be suppressed, and the feeling of belonging to the living is also returning.
I can even breathe air again if I need to.
But this is a magical effect, an endowment of supernatural power, and my existence has been completely integrated into the realm of decay and darkness.
As you said, you will have to serve the will of the source of death in this world for the rest of your life."
At this point, Ms. Mag showed a relieved smile and said softly:
"Fortunately, that will does not have an overactive mind, and it has no inclination towards good or evil in itself. The use of its power depends on the actions of the agents it chooses.
I could feel Solomon Grundy's call, his calling, but I was not forced to obey him.
The equality that death brings allows me to rebel.
Even plunder.”
"Good, that's the message I wanted to hear."
Mason wrote down Professor McGonagall's description, and then looked at the Maximov siblings who had finally made up their minds. The two of them also shared the remaining power, and their changes were exactly the same as Professor McGonagall's.
They were quickly transformed from zombie form into cursed bodies between life and death. Their ferocious mouths also recovered a little, but the black and red color of their eyes represented that the two "undead" powers had completed the fusion in them.
It is really exciting to see what the final result of the source zombie virus + the black of decay will be.
"Pah pah"
Mason took out all the "zombie figures" in his collection and smashed them on the ground. Petra and Li Qianhuan, who were also zombie X-Men, howled and pounced on the living after being thrown out, but were bound to the spot by Wanda's scarlet magic. However, Kingpin, who had been turned into a zombie and was wearing heavy armor, was much more "obedient".
After this guy appeared, he stopped where he was and waited for orders. Under the influence of the Black of Decay, he regained consciousness after more than ten seconds. He blinked his eyes under the armor, looked around blankly, and then raised his hands to look around. A burst of anger erupted from his heart and he shouted at Mason and others:
"Assholes! What did you do to me?"
"That's magical! It gives you power and prevents you from being killed easily. If you have any conscience, you should say thank you now."
Zha Kang whistled at the "zombie squad" in front of him. He glanced at Mason and said:
"So, Zombie Team K will also be established today?"
“Just trying.”
Mason shook his head and said:
“They can only serve as decorations in my collection cabinet, but once they regain their sanity, they can do many things they couldn’t do before. However, the power of the Black Decay is obviously not enough now.
We have to get the biggest one.”
The captain stroked his chin and looked at the dead in front of him. After a few seconds, he waved his hand and said:
"First, send Gotham's decaying bones back to their graveyards. Then we'll go to Metropolis to meet up with the master and see what Lex Luthor's Legion of Doom is planning to do. By the way, I'll get you some 'food'."
"There's a lot of fresh flesh and blood on it!"
Quicksilver pointed to the top of his head and said:
"There must be some scumbags in this city who don't deserve to die. Why don't you show us the way and we can help clean up the garbage in this city."
"Gotham's villains are all Batman's 'personal property'. If you dare to steal food from his vegetable garden, be careful he will beat you up."
Harley warned while chewing gum, then she skillfully took out some fresh meat from her bag, put it in a few bowls, and handed it to the dead in front of her, saying:
"Come and eat, it's better to work after you are full."
But the zombies who regained their sanity looked at each other and no one reached out. This made Harley very dissatisfied and she knocked on the food bowl and said:
"What are you doing standing there? I've always been responsible for feeding you, and I've never seen you picky about food before! This is fresh beef, bought from a butcher, it's very expensive."
"Oh, so this is what you gave us to eat when we were in a daze?"
Zombie Wanda put her hands on her hips, stared at Mason, and said in a very impolite tone:
"You really treat us as pets? You are such a terrible person, you know that? Even though we are zombies, we have human rights too! Eating from a food bowl?
You really figured it out! "
"They've all become zombies, sister, let's stop boxing."
Barbara covered her eyes and advised:
"Eat quickly and satisfy your hunger for flesh and blood. There will be more work to do later."
"That's right, they are all very hypocritical."
Ms. McGonagall sneered at her companion.
Then she stretched her body and turned into a shiny black cat, wagging her tail and jumping into the arms of the surprised cat lady. She meowed a few times, and her owner Selena immediately took out luxurious and expensive cat food and the best veal to feed her little cutie.
This scene left the zombies speechless.
OK!
You are aloof!
You are amazing!
You have clean and hygienic cat food and veal to eat, but we can only eat from food bowls. We are all zombies, why are you treating us differently?
But they had no way to reason, and since no one wanted to share Professor McGonagall's cat food, they could only take the bloody meat in Harry's hand and turn around to eat it.
Hey, you know what, after I regained my sanity, I felt that the fresh meat tasted really good when chewed, like eating sashimi.
"Mason, I can't go to Metropolis with you. Batman asked me to take the Teen Titans to the Watchtower."
When everyone was about to leave, the eldest son said goodbye to Mason:
"He is worried that Luther may have other plans. When the Justice League gathers, the base camp must leave a reserve force that can be quickly deployed."
"I'm going with Grayson."
Barbara, who was holding hands with her boyfriend, also volunteered:
"With the help of the various equipment in the watchtower, I can better provide you with guidance and information. More importantly, the Spark Girl has also received the mobilization order..."
"Understood! You declare your sovereignty to the Starfire Girl."
Mason waved his hand and winked at his sister and said:
"Show your feminine charm and completely stop that alien woman from thinking about the big-butt guy. Don't lose the prestige of our K team."
"I'm familiar with this. I've accumulated enough experience in the long-term attack and defense with that slutty vixen Talia."
Catwoman immediately became interested, and took Barbara's hand to the side to teach her some damn "little tricks for palace fighting". Harley also pricked up her ears and learned attentively, and took a small notebook to write down the tricks in case of emergency.
Although she has to deal with another self in most cases, it never hurts to learn more knowledge.
…
"Shua"
At the entrance of an alley in the metropolis, a large black truck slowly stopped by the roadside.
Sitting in the driver's seat, wearing a heavy truck driver's hat, Deadshot leaned against the window and made a provocative shooting gesture towards Batman who was waiting for a ride with full of malice, then pointed behind the car to signal him to get in quickly.
The master who was filling in for Dachao in this city ignored Deadshot's provocation.
He just frowned slightly as he looked at the camouflaged heavy truck in front of him. This should be the mobile base of the "special operations team" that Mason mentioned.
Even a powerful villain like Deadshot can only be a driver in this group?
They look very powerful. Green Arrow has worked with them before, and the eighth giant of the Justice League gave them a very high evaluation.
The master walked quickly to the back of the heavy truck and pushed the door open from the inside. Deathstroke, holding a cigar, stood in front of him, nodded his chin at the master, and said hello:
"Hey, Bat, everyone here has some 'personal vendetta' against you. For the sake of your life, why don't you change the car?"
"Let him up, Slade."
A voice that made the old man frown came from the carriage, and then the young version of Luthor greeted Batman in a friendly manner with a cup of coffee:
"Come up quickly, Bruce Wayne. I have admired you for a long time. Let's discuss how to deal with the other me. I accidentally bankrupted him before, and I feel guilty about it."
