Chapter 138: Heroic Twilight
The wide, dark New York sewers have been built for hundreds of years. When the www.biquge.info was originally designed, the sewer was designed with the inconvenience of drainage caused by heavy rainstorms hitting New York City. So in this line of thinking, the sewer is wide enough for a BMW MINI to run in it.
The decrepit Nightkin pushes Tony Stark, who needs to rely on a life support system to supply his life. They walk in this sewer like dark rats, or things that can't see the light. The superheroes of yesteryear are gone. When Magneto unified the mutants of the globe and carried out a brutal encirclement and suppression of the human government.
The original superheroes in this world either chose to submit to Magneto's rule and became his pawns to slaughter their own people, and most of the rest were slaughtered by him.
Magneto was like the Nazis who built Auschwitz, locking up all those who opposed him. Speaking of things like concentration camps, Magneto still has a lot of experience in building this. Because he had grown up in a concentration camp, he had a lot of experience of camp life and knew the loopholes of the camp.
So the concentration camp he built was the most brutal in human history. As Magneto said back then, the repression and repression of the human government has led to the rise of mutants.
And Magneto's method of reciprocating cause and effect is difficult for many ordinary people to accept. But unlike mutants, when ordinary humans are suppressed and deprived of the weapons of resistance. They can't be as simple as mutants.
Because every mutant is a weapon, and there are quite a few alpha-class and omega-class humanoid nuclear bombs. They don't use any weapons, and relying solely on the strength of the mutants themselves can make people feel threatened by their force.
And ordinary people, without the help of external forces, have no way to fight against mutants. With the exception of some mutants who are extremely genetically inferior and have failed to fuse, most mutants will be stronger than the average person.
And those high-end combat forces are even more existent that can overturn an army division and even cause greater damage by one person. In order to fight the mutants, those humans who resist the mutants underground do everything they can.
"I commissioned some people from the military before and they found a technique that was covered up by the military decades ago. Tony, in a wheelchair, spoke softly, and his vocal cord function had begun to deteriorate, making him unable to speak loudly. And because of the lack of breathing ability in his lungs, he lacks the middle breath when he speaks.
"What's that?" the Nightkin pushing Tony's wheelchair forward didn't speak very well, his voice low all the time.
"Sentinel Project! This is what Hydra wanted to use to destroy all mutants. As Tony said this, a strange look suddenly erupted in his old and dull eyes.
"That's a killing machine built specifically to deal with mutants!
"Hydra? They're not a good thing. Speaking of which, they are the same as Magneto. There was a dry, lifeless taste in the Nightkkin's tone. It's like an elm tree that has begun to decay, and even the pests that used to cling to the elm tree have begun to leave the tree that is about to wither and die. No matter how leafy it was before.
"Do you think it makes sense to say that now?" said Tony, suddenly raising his voice. But sadly, even with his hard roar, his voice was still so weak. It's like a candle that is about to burn out faintly bursting a spark, and then it is fleeting. If you don't listen closely, you won't be able to hear the difference.
"At least Hydra is still human! not a mutant! Mutants ruined my life. They robbed my company, killed Pepp, and made me lose my legs!Even Jarvis was ruined by them!" Tony was excited at first, but by the end he was crying.
"I've got nothing left, do we need to care about anything?! The world has become like this, how bad can it be?"
"Nightkin you forget who burned your face and killed your family and friends. Everything I've ruined, but what about yours?, do you still care about anything?!" The Nightkin was silent for a long time as Tony asked.
"Well, it really doesn't matter anymore. I'm afraid I won't live long with this old bone. Nightkin said lightly, without any emotion in his tone. When he lost everything, he had lost the meaning of life, and now life was just like dead wood.
"How is Frank doing?" Tony suddenly asked about the Punisher. This caused Nightkin to look at him with some concern. Frank had been killed years earlier, and Tony knew about it.
But in the last two months, his mind has been getting less and less bright. A lot of times he would forget something that had happened before, and his memory would start to have some problems. The Nightkin felt a little tightness in his throat, as if he had been stuck in the phlegm.
Nightkin said in as calm a tone as he could, "Tony, Frank is dead. He had been dead for a long time, and we couldn't find him a cemetery so we could only hastily throw the ashes left behind after his body was cremated into the Pacific Ocean. If we want to mourn him now, we can only pray to the Pacific Ocean. ”
Tony fell silent. All this should not be like this, why are his companions and comrades-in-arms dying and disappearing one after another. And your own brain is starting to get less and less bright?
He said weakly in a trembling voice, "Nightcrawler, is my brain starting to degenerate?" Just like Charles, you all have to tie him up and lock him up in the room where the lead block was made now. If I'm going to start going crazy, then don't let me be like Charles, you can just kill me. Kill me. ”
The former Iron Man is now just a helpless old man, who repeats the word "kill me" over and over again. Nightkin stopped pushing his wheelchair and gave Tony a hug to comfort him as best he could, "We're not going to leave any of our partners behind, no." ”
The glass crystals of Tony's eyeballs were already cloudy, too cloudy to make out his eyes. All you can see is the tearful eyes closing helplessly.
……………………
At the other end of the sewer, this is the agreed spot. After trading with the Hydra personnel, Nightkin and Tony's men will arrive with their documents and leave with them.
The people who traded with Hydra were also two older guys, just a little younger. Spider-Man, who is in his sixties, can't swing over New York City anymore. Because if he dares to show his face, then Magneto's men will kill him.
And in his sixties, he can't do so many difficult moves. The other is the only surviving guy in S.H.I.E.L.D. That agent Hawkeye Barton. However, Hawkeye's name is going to change, and it's more appropriate for him to be called the One-Eyed Dragon now.
He had lost his left eye in the previous Battle of New York. Because he has been injected with infinite serum, Hawkeye ages at a slower rate than ordinary people. He looked to be in his fifties now, but he was the youngest of the group.
By the time Nightkin arrived in Tony's wheelchair, Hawkeye and Spider-Man had been waiting at the rendezvous for almost three minutes.
"You two old guys are really slow. Spider-Man grumbled, completely forgetting the fact that he was an old fellow too.
"Because we can't fly over New York City. Nightkin quipped. This kind of boring banter has become one of the few pastimes and stress relief in this dark age.
"Did you get anything back?" Tony was more concerned about whether the Sentinel's information had been changed back. Hawkeye shook a USB flash drive with almost 2TB capacity.
"It's all here, almost all 2TB is full. There shouldn't be any problems. "Patton, who was blind in one eye, wore an eyepatch and looked like a pirate captain.
"In addition to this, I found a good thing. As he spoke, Hawkeye took out a small box like a treasure, and he carefully opened the box and said, "An infinite serum! Especially after the last of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s forces are all gone. ”
"I worked so hard to get this thing, it was made 30 years ago. The activity of the drug is already very low. But if you are given an injection. Barton pointed to Tony's brain.
"Then at least your brain will be back to your peak state of thirty years in half a year. However, I am afraid that it will accelerate your aging after that. ”
Tony glanced at the Infinity Serum and said without any hesitation: "Inject me, I'm almost ninety." It doesn't matter if you are old or not. ”
None of the people present stopped Tony's decision, because everyone was an old guy. Even the coffin is ready, what else is there to be afraid of?
Nightkin took the USB flash drive from Barton's hand and looked at it and said, "Nothing matters. Let's show the world what a bunch of old guys can do!"
"I like that, but can you not add me?" Spider-Man smiled and waved his hand. "I'm still young. ”
"yes~, it's really young. I forgot, you're going to have your seventieth birthday in a few years?" an ugly smile tugged at the Nightkin's disfigured face.
