Chapter 214 12 Doomsday Soldiers

Chapter 214 12. Doomsday Soldiers

In the square of Zone C of Osborne Tower, the huge transfer gate is shining with strong light, like a wall of light curtain, and doomsday refugees from another world are rushing out from it one after another.

Many of them are still stained with volcanic ash and blood, some are carrying children, some are dragging boxes, and more people are empty-handed and rushing over with fear on their faces.

What comes into view is a towering metal tower that people in the 18th century could never imagine and an indifferent city covered with silver-gray light in the sun.

This is a completely different scenery from the Port of Virginia.

These people who escape from the doomsday will always stop and look subconsciously, and then there will be long sticks with electricity coming down, scolding them to move forward immediately and not block the way of the people behind them.

There are too many people. This is the transfer of nearly one million people in the doomsday. Even if the old green devil vacated the large square of Zone C that can accommodate tens of thousands of people in advance, a slight stagnation will still lead to pushing and even stampede accidents.

The current Iceberg Bar security personnel and former pirates from the Black Pearl performed this task without hesitation. Wearing black uniforms, they would always make the overwhelmed people grimace in pain when they hit the sticks in their hands.

There were also some guards wearing flight reports flying around in the air to maintain order.

But no one would complain at this time.

They were all frightened by the doomsday scene that they had just seen with their own eyes.

"Cat Goddess! It's the goddess!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and suddenly a large group of people rushed over to gather beside Selena, who was wearing a cloak and looking a little pale, and was supported by Mary Jane.

These superstitious people from the sea had long heard of the legend of the "cat goddess who brings hope". Seeing the real person and the experience of being rescued from the disaster made their wandering hearts almost instantly return to the belief they heard from hearsay.

The tearful prayers in despair also seemed so sincere.

It was enough to touch people's hearts.

This sudden scene made Catwoman, who was maintaining order in the square with her vassal army, a little confused for a while. When those people on Turtle Island shouted "Cat Goddess", she just thought it was fun and let it go.

But the current situation is serious.

Seeing that more and more people are coming to her to kneel down, if they are not stopped, they may really create a weird religion. But just as Selina was supported by Mary Jane and stood on a box, ready to explain, Mason's voice came from behind:

"Let them go, no need to explain too much."

"Huh?"

Catwoman looked back at Mason, who had put on the black anti-Superman armor but without a helmet.

The chest of this heavy armor no longer emits purple fluorescence, but instead a faintly glowing Ark reactor, which looks like a light ignited in the black metal from a distance.

"They are people from an ancient world where gods exist, Selina, and faith is part of their lives."

Mason, wearing power armor, is nearly 2.5 meters tall. Like a majestic metal knight, he approaches the "cat goddess" in the eyes of the doomsday refugees in their terrified and fearful eyes.

He said to Selina, who was hesitant:

"Instead of letting those fabricated cults occupy the refugees' souls that are in urgent need of comfort after the apocalypse, it is better for you to take action. At least we all know that you will not let these poor people do cruel things like human sacrifices except for offering you various jewels.

Bringing them here is just the beginning."

Mason looked at the increasing number of doomsday refugees in front of him, and shook his head and said:

"Osborne Tower can't accommodate so many people. The old Green Goblin told me that after a short rest here, they have to go to the abandoned New York City to start a new life. Dr. Connors's lizard people will help them as much as possible.

In this case, any factors that are beneficial to stability are precious.

Since they call you a goddess, you might as well pretend to be a real goddess. Your appearance and temperament are definitely enough, and I think this kind of Cosplay difficulty is not difficult for you."

"I don't like to play tricks."

Catwoman said with her hands on her hips :

"Although there are indeed many men who praise me as their goddess in various occasions, I think the meanings of the two should be different.

Are you going over here?

Do you need help?

You know, Bruce came to see me a few days ago, and I told him everything I could tell him as you requested. I think if you need help, he will immediately start mobilizing forces with just one phone call.

For something like this, no one in the Justice League dares to oppose it, otherwise Superman will smash their heads."

"We will need him, but not now. We have our troubles, and they have theirs. This is up to you, ladies, and we'll see you after the war."

Mason shook his head and put on the black helmet. The moment the metal helmet was buckled, the specially made Isu Vanguard Armor data module was immediately connected, and the Sorting Hat originally worn on his head immediately transformed into a head ring buckled on the young man's forehead, which did not affect his human-machine interaction with the Anti-Superman Armor.

The fully armed Anti-Superman Armor strode forward like a giant, and the doomsday refugees rushing out of the light curtain in front naturally made way for the black mechanical warrior.

People whispered that this was the Iron Knight of the great and beautiful Cat Goddess.

The 2077 War Vehicle Demonic Lizard, which has been modified from the inside out, slowly moves forward in a suspended propulsion posture, with an oversized war weapon clasped in its rear armor filled with weapon modules. A storage jar.

"About to enter the transfer gate, the Delamain process takes over and switches to autopilot. Good luck, Mason."

Judy's voice sounded over the Anti-Superman suit's communications.

She warned:

"I installed a self-destruct module on the Demon Lizard, which is quite powerful. Don't skimp on the vehicle when necessary. You already have the blueprints, and you can knock out one yourself with both hands.

People are the most important.

In addition, I have contacted Lao Wei, and he has prepared a complete set of prostheses to be inserted into the operating cabin. I know you don't want you or your team members to become 'reformers' like us.

But this is a war after all.

Just go ahead and do it.

As long as you are not completely dead, we can bring you back. "

"Hey! Didn't Captain Morgan teach you?"

Before entering the light curtain of the transfer door, Mason replied dissatisfiedly:

"Don't set up such a flag before a war! And can you say something nice?"

With such complaints, Mason's figure disappeared into the curtain of starlight. Behind him, the Demon Lizard vehicle that switched to autopilot also approached the light curtain in a very stable posture like a flying heavy tank.

The neutral male voice of Dramman, the intelligent AI who originally drove a taxi in Night City, echoed in the empty cockpit:

"The Delaman Intelligent Travel Program is at your service. The current service program is the 'Excellence' package, with combat mode unlocked and vehicle body self-inspection"

The moment he entered the light curtain, the originally peaceful electronic sound suddenly became violent.

Although the voice is still the same, this AI seems to have suddenly entered the state of "cyber psychosis" from "electronic butler" mode, screaming at the top of its lungs:

"Didi! Bastard! Egg! I'll hit you to death!"

"What's coming from the other side?"

The sharp shouts startled Zha Kang and Jack who were still in Virginia City on the other side of the transfer gate. The two guys were organizing an orderly evacuation of the people in the city, and then they saw that the transfer gate was temporarily cut off.

The familiar black armor strode out, causing the crowd to exclaim.

Behind Mason, another powerful thing that looked like a combination of a tank and an aerial vehicle appeared bit by bit, causing those poor people who were frightened by the sudden change of scene to have their legs trembling and fall to their knees as soon as their legs became weak. .

"Delaman, first test of the gravity well module."

Mason, who was driving the Anti-Superman suit, said to the onboard AI in the cockpit:

"Activate it, slowly increase the electrical stimulation, be gentle, don't go all the way all at once."

"I understand this, Mason, you don't have to stress about it."

The automatic program in the tank has gone crazy, but the Draman program in the Mason armor is still very stable. This intelligent AI suspected of multiple schizophrenia said in a gentle tone:

"After leaving Night City, I was widely used by the Afterlife Team on various occasions, including the laboratory auxiliary program. The program I was rewritten can complete the testing of new modules independently. You only need to focus on combat. Orders given, dear passengers.

Then, the new module test begins. 10% power supply”

"Buzz"

A ball of electric arc danced in the Anti-Superman armor's boots. It was activated by the two gravity well engineering devices that Mason had just put in. The liquid gravity was stimulated by the electric current and transformed into a form. The moment it changed form, it transformed the surrounding gravity and exerted it on this heavy On top of the armor.

In Mason's exclamation, the anti-Superman suit took off on the spot in an instant, and in the blink of an eye it danced up to a height of 100 meters.

Fortunately, this thing is not propelled by a rocket, otherwise his poor control posture would be enough to cause him to lose stability and perform Brownian motion in the air.

After the activation of this very unscientific gravity well, it creates an invisible "anti-gravity field", in which Mason and his armor are equivalent to being wrapped.

Therefore, even though the lift-off attitude is terrible, once it flies up, it won't crash down again.

"With all due respect, passenger."

The airborne AI Draman was also startled. It hurriedly reduced the power supply to prevent Mason from continuing to float to prevent him from flying into an altitude of 10,000 meters and freezing to death. It reminded kindly:

"You may need to install a flight control module to help you better control this gravity well system whose principles I don't understand at all. Maybe you can enter knowledge about 'magic' into my database to help me better of deep learning.”

"Shut up! You terrible third-rate driver."

Mason cursed angrily.

The good-natured Delamain did not refute. This time it was indeed that he did not do well enough.

"I will manually control the electrical energy input of the gravity well, and I will leave the rest to you."

He adjusted the mode so that he could adapt to the way of flying in the air little by little, and it took him a few minutes to land next to Zha Kang and Jack.

With a click, the full-covering visor popped to both sides, revealing Mason's face.

He looked around and saw that the reflection of the world hanging above his head was much more "real" than before he left. At this rate, it might be completely "coinciding" with the earth under Mason's feet within a day.

"Did you hear that?"

Zha Kang, holding a coral trident as a staff, said in a mean and mysterious manner next to Mason:

“The earth beneath our feet is groaning in pain, and it is collapsing under the load every minute and every second. That is the sound of the continental shelf collapsing, and this is just the beginning.

Our 'new friends' are steering the seas to keep rapidly rising sea levels from flooding back, but global tides are already forming.

This world will first be buried by the cold sea water, and in the abyss that is colder than ice, the hot core of the earth will fall apart, and finally with a bang, this world and us in it will be exposed to the deep space. .

Until then, may our deaths please the dark stars. "

"Shut up! What time has it been and you are still reciting poetry? Are you possessed by Etrigan?"

Mason said:

"It's not like I won't let you run away, and I didn't say I would fight to the death here. Haven't the liquidators arrived yet?"

"No, but soon."

Captain Jack held the cigarette butt in his mouth and pinched the small pistol in his hand anxiously, and said:

"Colypso is very uneasy. She said she can feel the danger approaching, but the formation of the big tide is a good thing. It greatly enhances the power she can control as the sea god."

"Here you go."

Mason saw Jack's uneasiness. He took out the Batmobile model from his bag and gave it to his team members and said:

"The weapon system has been replaced. Delamain's onboard AI is responsible for driving. When the time comes, you can control the weapon to explode. It's all fool-like interactions that won't trouble you. This is your world and your land. Jack.

You have to fight for it. "

"Mason!"

At this moment, Ergong and Barbara also used their flying claws to pull their bodies and jumped down from the crumbling tower, jumping and swinging next to Mason. There was no fear on the Bat girl's face. When she fell, she reported to Mason in a low voice:

"Those pirates wanted to run too, but Will Turner suddenly showed up and stopped them. Captain Ghost asked them to stay and fight, but no one wanted to listen, so..."

"They fought each other and it was a one-sided massacre."

Ertong said concisely:

"The pirates who were killed fell over and their bodies were pulled onto the ghost ship. Barbossa was already imprisoned. He had a special status and did not resist, so Will Turner gave him some more time.

But he hopes to meet you. "

"Well, I'll go see him right away."

Mason nodded, pointed at the Demon Lizard Chariot suspended in the air not far away, and said to Barbara and Ertun:

"You continue to fly that one, Draman takes over the driving, and you are responsible for firing and controlling the drone swarm. Second barrel, after the fighting starts, you go to help Colypso, but you have to remember your mission."

"I know!"

Ertong nodded, touched the handle of the Alice sword at his waist, and said:

"If nothing can be done, I will make her suffer less."

"There's actually no need to go that far."

Zha Kang blew out smoke rings and touched the coral trident in his hand. He squinted his eyes and said:

"This thing can contain divinity. We don't need to give that precious thing to the hunters. Mason doesn't believe them anyway. We can hide it ourselves.

With divinity in hand, although I still can't get rid of the curse, I can at least ensure that the hidden dangers of that thing will not deepen.

This way, Colypso can survive in human form, and we don't have to fight to the death here. "

"Good idea."

Captain Jack complained beside him:

"But you have to convince that rebellious Poseidon to listen to you first. If you ask her to hand over her power, I don't think she will do it docilely. There will still be a fight in the end.

It's better that Mason arranges it like this now.

Killing someone with a borrowed knife does not dirty our hands. "

"No no no."

Mason rolled his eyes, shook his head and explained:

"I'm not as bad as you think, Jack, don't spread rumors and slander. The choice has always been in Colypso's hands. She was unwilling to give up her power and had to fight to the death with the mad dogs.

But we made an agreement with her before.

We can arrange for her to leave at any time if she wishes.

I also hope that things can end perfectly, but it doesn't matter if we talk about it.

Get ready.

I'm going to see Barbossa. "

He turned around and activated the power connection of the gravity well module not very skillfully. This time he did not "spiral to the sky" but did a squat and jump on the spot.

With a whooshing sound, it jumped into the air and flew towards the dock that had been blocked by the Flying Dutchman.

The big pirates who were under house arrest were all trapped here, and the eerie Dutchman stood proudly on the rolling waves. There were cursed pirates rising and falling in the undulating water.

Mason landed on the dock that was mostly submerged. When he landed, he felt the ground shaking violently, but the monster-like pirate captain in front of him stood upright in the water.

His twisted hands grasped the sea monster sword at his waist, not like a man seeking death facing the end, but like a commander reviewing the fleet and preparing to go out.

"Will!"

Mason shouted.

The ghost captain turned around, with a smile that could scare a child into tears, and said:

"Mason, you haven't left yet. It's so gratifying. It seems that we don't have to fight alone in the apocalypse."

"It's not necessary."

Mason approached him and whispered:

"The trident is in our hands. If you are willing, I can lift your curse, and you can go to the other side to be with your wife and children.

No one will despise you for this, you and your crew are brave enough. "

"No! Don't give us hope, Mason."

The monsterized Will Turner shook his head, and stretched out his tentacle-like fingers to the rising ocean in front of him, and said:

"We used to be the symbol of evil in this world. We were called monsters and scum, but in this desperate era, even we have signed the last contract with our world and our civilization!

We are still fighting.

So, our world has not perished yet!

We know that we will definitely go to hell, but no matter which hell it is, we will be the best ghosts."

"A world will come to an end, Mason, my companion."

Old Teague's voice also came from behind.

This handsome old pirate seemed to have no mood affected by the end of the world. He sat there holding a guitar and plucked the strings. In the ancient and sad melody, he whispered:

"There must be someone to stand up and fight for it, just like there must be someone to support a closing ceremony. This is our choice, bless us. "

The old pirate smiled mysteriously and said to Mason:

"But we will meet again, I promise!"
