Chapter 18: Damn Racists
Li Jie knew that it was not unusual for the apocalypse. Because in his previous life, he still watched "X-Men Episode 3". The god-like apocalypse inside left a deep memory on him.
And now, in front of Li Jie is a corpse that is very similar to the dress in the movie, but has completely lost its vitality, and even the apocalypse uniform has been stripped naked. And it looks like he was tortured before he died, with wounds all over his body.
"What the hell is this place?" said Thor, the dragon hero who came from afar.
Because of the discovery of Apocalypse's corpse, Li Jie could only temporarily interrupt the Dragon Hero's plan to brush up negative scores. Dragon Hero Thor and Storm Girl join him with Green Panther as instructed by Li Kit.
Li Kit's slide from the quicksand pit to the bottom is actually the interior of a building. The building is very tall from the inside, at least a few tens of meters high. It is supported by four massive stone pillars, and the surrounding rock walls are carved with the coats of arms of various monsters such as lions, chickpes, hydras, and three-headed dogs.
There are still some murals on the walls, but these images have become blurred over time, and only some traces can be traced back then.
In the empty and huge space, a huge sarcophagus is placed in the center. The sarcophagus is full of ancient Egyptian script, and the dense text does not know what is written.
However, the lid of the sarcophagus has now been pushed open, and the body that should have been lying quietly in the coffin has also been pulled out, and this unlucky ghost is the apocalypse.
Judging from the original scene, there must have been other funerary goods here, perhaps gold and silver treasures, or something else. But now it looks like they've been emptied, and even the set of valuable armor on Apocalypse has been stripped off.
And in addition to the corpse of the Apocalypse, there are many other corpses around. The corpses that looked like normal humans were all dressed in desert camouflage uniforms, and they also wore body armor with various firearms and weapons. And they don't know where they got their hands on several Elven Power Armor (armed exoskeletons made by the Osborne Group).
"It looks like there's been a fierce battle here. Ororo the Stormgirl observed the corpses and the bullet holes in the buildings, and she didn't need any reasoning to come to this simple conclusion.
"It looks like the urban legend you're asking about is true. Stormgirl patted the green leopard on the shoulder and said, "There really has been an expedition that has found an ancient ruin. And what they found was not ordinary people. ”
T'Challa was a little excited as he patted himself on the shoulder at Storm, and he thought, "Oh, oh, oh!
But before the green leopard could degenerate his green back into black, he saw the storm girl intimately walk up to the dragon hero who was studying the corpse of the apocalypse, and said in a very intimate tone, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at who this guy is, even though he's dead. But there is also a very powerful energy hidden in his body. It reminds me of some of the gods I've seen...... Well, the corpse of the mighty. "Thor replaced the corpse of the god he was talking about with the corpse of a mighty one.
This corpse looks like he's been dead for a long time, but the energy in his body hasn't completely escaped, and that alone represents how powerful he was during his lifetime. And after all this time, his body hasn't rotted yet?!
"He's? he's really good. His name is Apocalypse. Stormgirl looked at the corpse and sneered, "But I thought we had dealt with him more than ten years ago." I didn't expect his body to actually appear in this place, and it seems that Xiaoqin didn't really destroy him last time. ”
"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Li Jie glanced at Apocalypse's corpse and then at Storm Girl. If it is a movie plot, then the story seems to take place in the eighties of the last century. But listening to the tone of the storm girl, she seems to have participated in the story of the apocalypse, and it happened more than ten years ago?
"It's nothing, it's just that we had a little bit of a holiday with this guy. There are quite a few issues involved. Stormgirl waved her hand.
"This guy keeps saying that something is wrong, that there is something wrong with this world, and that he wants to set things right. In short, it's complicated. But he was very strong, and I was just getting the ability at the time, and I couldn't hurt him even if I tried my best. Stormgirl pointed to Apocalypse's corpse.
'He's strong, really strong. Anyway, we ordinary mutants can't handle him. Stormgirl said this, and at the same time she seemed to remember something: "But strangely, he seems to have appeared and disappeared suddenly. ”
"And vaguely I seemed to see young Professor Charles and Magneto. They looked like they were in their thirties. I'm not sure though, maybe it's a hallucination. And at the time I remembered that Professor Charles was not there. ”
What the storm girl said makes people a little confused, what is the young Professor Charles here, and what is the name of Professor Charles is not there?
Li Jie thinks that this matter may need to be asked by Professor Charles and Magneto himself, and he can figure it out.
However, there is also a more suspicious question: where did the red-skinned woman in the urban legend go, and according to legend, she came with an expedition to find the ruins. Presumably the corpses at the scene were the expeditions, but what about the red-skinned woman? Where did she go?
Or was she the only survivor, and then she ran away with the gold and silver treasures? Li Jie was still thinking about these questions, when suddenly the green leopard shook him beside him: "Didn't you say that you were going to let the dragon hero brush up the negative scores? Why do you feel that they are more close?!"
When he saw that the Storm Girl was next to Thor, she almost snuggled herself up. The current green leopard can be said to be green and shining, just like the Green Lantern Legion descended on the earth and a hundred green light messengers took out the green light ring and shouted "The green light is always bright, and the light will shine forever".
Li Jie doesn't know how to comfort the green leopard now, huh? Maybe Thor hasn't executed the plan yet?
Just as Li Jie was thinking this, Thor turned around in this underground palace, and he said in amazement: "I really didn't think that there were such magnificent buildings in ancient Africa, and the underground mausoleum is very luxurious here, and it must be very troublesome to build." ”
"There's a lot of things in Africa that you can't think of. Storm Girl said affectionately.
Thor shook his head, "yes, really. Take the pyramids, for example. I really can't believe it was built by ancient Africans. ”
"Why?" asked Stormgirl curiously.
"Because everybody says Africans are lazy, don't they? I saw a lot of comments on the Internet saying that blacks are lazy and don't want to work, they don't farm, they don't do factory work, they just wait for food and relief every day. And then say what you deserve to starve to death. Thor said with a smile.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Thor said that there was no malice at all, he was just relaying the statements of some netizens on the Internet. But these words are different when they hear Storm Girl's ears. Born in Africa, Storm Lady Oloro was a native of Africa until she left for the United States at the age of sixteen.
After arriving in the United States, blacks received a lot of discrimination, even if Oloro tried hard, he was still discriminated against. Coupled with the fact that she is still a mutant, this discrimination is even more severe.
If there's anything that can't be touched in the storm's life, it's racism.
So when she heard Thor's words, she was smiling brightly, but suddenly her face was cloudy, and she said in a cold tone, "What do you mean by that?!"
"What?"
"You damn racist!!"
Lightning began to gather over the desert, dark clouds overheaded, the green light emanating from someone began to fade out, and the black leopard reappeared.
At this moment, T'Challa suddenly felt as if he had lost something. Maybe it's a new career, maybe it's a new color? Well, it doesn't really matter, because it's not sad to lose yourself at all, but you feel relaxed!
