In the end, both of them gave up their struggles and decided to go to the city center to see what was going on with the crystal before making a decision - the two returned to the room one after the other, and Chubby was busy typing on the keyboard, and the god asked, "What's the news?" ”

"I just looked at the online ticketing system, and after those - superpowered teenagers - things were exposed in the afternoon, tickets from various states and cities to Washington were sold out instantly, and people were frantically flocking here......" Fat Te said helplessly, "On such a cold day, there are very few people who were willing to go out and walk around, and now it's okay, it's as if they have all forgotten that Washington is still under martial law and belongs to the city that needs to be evacuated-"

"Doesn't the government have measures?" The god asked, if you say that you played a little trick to make the people of the capital stay where you are and not move, then forget it, what do you think about driving people here now?

"I don't see reads yet."

Chubby shook his head, looking quite confused.

Fu Shen frowned and took out the phone, ready to call Yucheng and them, but the phone rang twice and was connected and hung up...... After a while, Yucheng sent a text message, telling the gods that they were in a meeting in Washington at this time, and the test report on the crystal came out, and no harmful substances were found for the time being, but the specific needs to be further studied.

[Fushen: Have you read the afternoon news? 】

[Yucheng: Look, what do you think we're having a meeting for? Suddenly the super soldiers are running all over the streets, do you think it's appropriate? 】

[Cocoon God: It has something to do with crystals. 】

[Yucheng: Are you so sure? No one could be sure that it really mattered, and the soldiers at the military base hadn't touched the crystal. 】

[Fushen: But they have come into contact with test subject six, and someone told me that there is also a part of test subject in the center of that green crystal, if so, then it makes sense...... I'm on my way over now, and you'd better hurry up in the afternoon to check what the inside of the crystal is, people are frantically flocking to Washington, and this sick phenomenon will be □□ trouble in the future if it is not controlled. 】

[Yucheng: I know, we are forcing the US imperialist government to issue a cordon to prohibit people from continuing to run to Washington to join in the fun......... Wait, you're in Washington again?!!!! 】

“……”

Fu Shen glanced at Yucheng's series of exclamation marks with an expressionless face, and calmly locked the phone, ignoring the subsequent angry vibrations of the phone.

After sending the text message, the god raised his head and found that at this time, Xiaopang and Enochhe were also ready to go out, the three of them went out side by side, and when they returned to the lobby of the small hotel, the moment the elevator door opened, they first felt a cold wind blowing in their faces, and then they heard a lot of people at the front desk, saying that the central heating of the room did not work at all, and if it was not repaired immediately, they would have to check out in full and find another place to live...... The front desk manager was besieged and explained with a bitter face: It is not that the hotel is unwilling to provide heating, but that the weather outside is too cold, and the cold water pipe of the heating equipment is directly frozen and burst, and the backup heating pipe has not kept up, and the maintenance personnel are hurrying to repair.

Fu Shen lightly exhaled a milky white mist, turned his head to look at the temperature recorder, which showed that the temperature outside had dropped to minus 32 degrees - the temperature had been slowly falling for the past two days, and there was no moment of recovery.

"I don't know how long this low temperature will last, I called home yesterday, and my parents are freezing back to their hometown - just a southern city, in previous years, other cities occasionally wore short sleeves in winter, and now it is almost below zero." Chubby muttered, "Global freezing, how can you think about this is not normal?" Why doesn't the government have a reasonable explanation? ”

The gods didn't speak, and the three of them walked out of the hotel, and at this time the street outside was dark, there were not many pedestrians, and there were a lot of cars - at this time, the office workers should have gotten off work, so those cars should also be going to downtown Washington, and they had no cars but to take the subway, and the subway station was crowded, needless to say, they waited for four or five subway trips before they could barely squeeze in: the cars were mostly young people wearing scarves and gloves, both men and women, and they were excitedly discussing the previous news and the green crystal, By the way, fantasize about what superpowers you might get......

On top of that, he found that there were some children sitting alone in the corner, with a gloomy and withdrawn face - since he was a student for most of the time, so it was hard for him to imagine that such children would be interested in "superpowers" and the like, at least for him, at that time, he didn't care at all about what was going on in the outside world except for the various exams and the key points drawn in the reference books.

What would such a person do if he had superpowers?

"Chubby, what do you want to do first thing after you discover that you have a new ability?" The god asked.

Chubby seemed a little strange why the god asked this question, and after being stunned, he smiled: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to show you - and then imagine if I can go to the next Olympics and win a championship?" ”

……… That's right.

It's really the idea of an ordinary child.

If you have something good, show off it to your friends, and then wonder if you can use this thing to make something that was once out of reach, thin or much more naïve than adults, low-level money, fame, or whatever......

But when it comes to adults, it won't be like that.

The god thought casually, the time always passed quickly during the wandering gods, and in the blink of an eye they were in the center of Washington - they didn't have to bother to ask where the green crystal was, they got off the subway and followed the flow of people with their eyes closed, and soon after leaving the subway station, they came to the street where they had seen the video recorded in the news before.

At this time, the only way to recognize the street was to look up at the signs of the surrounding shops, and it would be naïve to recognise the street just by looking at the road surface - because as far as the eye could see, it was crowded with people.

"We're like a bunch of chicks huddled together to keep warm," Chubby said with a grin, "Are these people sick, and it's as lively as the countdown to the New Year." ”

As soon as they walked into a certain neighborhood, several police cars appeared behind their butts, and policemen with guns jumped out of the cars and pulled up a cordon - the road was closed.

It's really like something that you only do at the end of the new year.

Leaving behind them the grumblings of those who had stopped outside the street one step later, the gods picked up their pace slightly, and there was some confusion in the ranks ahead of them—presumably a group of young men trying to break through the last cordon and approach the crystal!

The U.S. imperialist government had already sent a considerable number of riot police to guard around the crystal when it appeared, but the current situation seemed to be a bit tricky for them.

After all, they are not facing a group of thugs at this moment, but a group of teenagers who are in the middle and second grades, and theoretically speaking, the first to use a firearm against them without permission may cause □□ annoyance.

"Hey, let us go!"

"That thing isn't dangerous! Aren't you already so close, and you don't see anyone feeling the threat of radiation, do you have nosebleeds? You've been here for a long time - and since there's no danger, what if you give us a touch? ”

"Yes, yes, we'll touch it and promise not to do anything else!"

"Did you watch the news? With those magical abilities, can we also become super soldiers - or is the government just willing to let super soldiers have for themselves? That's selfish, man! ”

The crowd in front of them began to be inflamed by the sound of the people in front of them shouting, and the procession that had been quietly lining up to see the crystal suddenly moved forward a large part - someone who, realizing that the riot police did not dare to shoot at them, began to push them and the shields in their hands, trying to break through their defenses-

"You have the ability to shoot me, reads;!"

Someone was shouting, and there was a burst of laughter.

In the surging crowd, the cocoon god and the little fat were scattered by the crowd, and the cocoon god shook his head helplessly, pushing Enochhe to a position slightly next to the street to avoid being injured in the push. When he stood up again, he noticed that the child in the wheelchair had been quietly turning his head in a certain direction from beginning to end, looking at something seriously......

The god followed Enochet's gaze, and realized that they could already see most of the upper end of the green crystal from their angle—much more spectacular than in the video, the whole huge crystal looked like a rocky rock removed from a cave, and some of the edges even looked very sharp, without any signs of artificial chiseling...... Its existence has destroyed most of the things around it, including the ornamental corolla plants that were originally planted on both sides of the streets, and those plants seem to have absorbed some special energy, and under such severe cold, not only did not wither, but the bright flowers bloomed and swayed in the wind and snow.

It was almost the last bit of color in the city.

In the dark night, the whole crystal is dark green, except for a small part illuminated by the street lights, which is a beautiful and transparent fluorescent green.

It's like that kind of storage zài like something called Moyu.

"How?" The god lowered his body and leaned over to Enochet, "Do you see anything?" It was so dark that I couldn't see anything. ”

"......," Enoch paused, and finally said in a dull voice, "Don't let me catch that poisonous woman Lilith." ”

“……”

The god cocoon got some answers from Enochet's words.

At this moment, when Enoch finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly screamed and took a big step forward - it turned out that someone in front of him had knocked down the riot police, and a gap immediately appeared in the strong defensive line!

The crowd took advantage of the gap and frantically rushed to the green crystal, and as the gap was expanded, many people who didn't have time to follow were pushed to the ground.

"Hey! Watch out! ”

"Who stepped on me! Get your feet off the way! ”

"Did you touch the crystal?! How does it feel? ”

The shouts of excitement were mixed with the angry roars of some of the injured people who were being pushed, and in the midst of the confusion, the god saw the chubby crowd squeeze out and approach them - and it looked like he was being squeezed miserably: "I was almost thin!" ”

Chubby said as he shook his fat meat.

The god sighed.

"Well, do you want to squeeze in again? Anyway, I just squeezed in and looked at it with all my might, and it was so dark that I couldn't see any stuff - let alone my head...... God, are you going to take a look? Chubby asked, "I'll look at Enochie's little brother, he won't squeeze it, the wheelchair will be squeezed out of shape." ”

"No, I'm going," and when the little fat chatter was finished, the cocoon god said without hurrying, "I've seen it, and there is indeed something in it." ”

"What?" Chubby was stunned, "What?" ”

"Odin's head reads;."

"Huh?"

"Subject Six," said Cocoon lightly, "the Institute met that one." ”

Chubby was stunned, and after reacting to what the god of cocoon was saying, his eyes widened slightly, and a stunned expression appeared on his face - when all three people present fell into a brief silence, the contrast was that the noisy crowd behind them had completely broken through the last line of defense, frantically rushing towards the green source crystal that might bring them superpowers......

……

When they returned to the small hotel, the heating equipment had not been repaired yet, and some people were already in the hall with their luggage ready to check out.

They took the elevator back to the floor where the room was located, but fortunately, the heating on their floor was normal for the time being, and when they returned to the relatively warm environment, they felt that their noses were almost frozen and they lost their sense of smell.

"How did Odin's head end up in the crystal?" Xiaopang took out the room card and said puzzled, "Isn't he very powerful, and he was dismembered?" Gee. ”

Enochie looked up at Chubby with a blank expression, and the cocoon god who followed him tugged at his hair as if warning.

Cocoon: "Odin was seriously injured before we left the institute that day, so—"

"You even know the name of Subject Six."

A familiar voice came from the room and interrupted the cocoon's words.

He was slightly stunned at first, and then after the door was completely opened, he saw Yucheng sitting on the bed, and Zhao Heng standing by the window looking down with his hands behind his back, Zhao Heng always turned his back to them and didn't turn around, and Yucheng waved his fist at the god of cocoon: "What did you say before leaving?" ”

Cocoon: "Not coming to Washington." ”

Yucheng: "What else?" ”

The cocoon smiled, "Don't get close to the crystal." ”

"Hmm," Tamaki nodded, "and now we're having a nice conversation in the sky over Washington, starting with the first topic: Are crystals beautiful?" ”

"It's not pretty," Fu Shen walked in and closed the door, "Then the boss is descending from the sky with the head of a test subject, and at the same time destroying the solar system in a powerful way, he has not forgotten to launch some kind of power into the ground, turning a part of the population into superpower owners-"

"What head?" Zhao Heng finally turned around and looked at Fu Shen, "Before, you insisted in the text message to Yucheng that those superpowered children with different symbols must be related to the sixth test subject as the super soldiers, and now you can say the name of the sixth test subject in one breath, which is confidential." ”

Zhao Heng paused, his gaze was much sharper than before: "Who are you?" ”

"Just now that I remembered to suspect this?" The god asked.

"It's not too late." Zhao Heng said lightly.

"The students that Chu Mobai has sponsored."

"How much money did he give you, you went up the knife mountain and the sea of fire for him, and rescued important information just to return his innocence? How important you are to him, so much so that he is willing to tell you anything......" Zhao Heng said in a low voice, "I don't want to gossip about the deceased, but if he does, it will be a leak." ”

"If you're not satisfied, you can drag him out and whip him, I'm okay with that." "But that has to be after you've used the information I've given you to solve the mysteries that are looming at the moment—don't you feel it on the way here, how many degrees below zero is outside?" If this continues, a large number of animals and plants will soon die, the sea will freeze, and then it will be the turn of human ......."

Zhao Heng stopped talking, his thin lips pursed, revealing a stern expression and looking at Fu Shen - and the latter did not hide from him at all, Fu Shen knew that at this time, Zhao Heng was struggling with some objective and subjective contradictions in his heart-

Finally......

Seeing that the man's love for killing, whose expression was still strict a second ago, softened slightly, he sighed and sat down on the chair: "What did you just say, what does it mean that there is a head in that green crystal?" ”

The atmosphere in the room eased instantly, and while Fushen's tense back relaxed, Yu Guang saw Yucheng also show a relieved expression.

"Subject Six's head was in that green crystal - for some reason, I suspect it may have been through the crystal itself as a medium, and Six's ability to influence - the Super Soldier - was unleashed, and as a result, another batch - the Super Boys - was created."

The cocoon spoke, and there was a brief silence around them again.

It seems that Zhao Heng and Yucheng both feel that it takes a little time to digest the matter of "the head of test subject No. 6 is in the crystal".

And for this matter, the cocoon god was not prepared to hide it at all.

He is not stupid, and if he wants to solve the current problem, he must rely on official power - he does not think that the best way to change the status quo on his own is to tell the people who can use the information and maximize its value.

"That doesn't make sense, buddy," after a moment of silence, Yucheng restrained his surprise, and his face rarely looked particularly strict, "You forgot about it!" In the beginning, almost all of those soldiers who survived became super soldiers - but these days, before full martial law, the number of people who have touched the crystal up close and even touched it is not thousands, and the result is only a little bit of a superpowered teenager, and then I will draw an emphasis - they are all children about your age, why is that? If those effects are selective, what are the criteria for selection? Just age? Also, since it was all the energy released by Subject Six that was having an effect, why did Wei embody completely different rune symbols? ”

Yucheng said and stroked his neck: "I have already sent someone to check, and the new batch of Harry Potter - are all -b- symbols." ”

Cocoon: "............ Isn't that the problem to be solved right now, do you think I really know everything? ”

Yucheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he drew a gesture of "You are awesome and I am convinced" and sat down on the bed again.

At this time, in the corner of the room, Xiao Pang, who was particularly silent from beginning to end, suddenly snorted - such a sound successfully pulled the attention of everyone in the room to him, Xiao Pang seemed to be startled, and his face was red: "Can I express my opinion?" ”

"No," said Yucheng, "who are you?" ”

Fu Shen: "The one who will work with me to rescue those materials." ”

"Oh, that means I've had close contact with Subject Six," Yucheng nodded, "Have you had a medical exam?" ”

"He's -i-, that's what I can't figure out the most," said the cocoon, "If you have to go through a complete process of contamination with the virus and deciphering the symbol, the symbol will be -i-, and Chubby's situation should be the same as those newly born superpowered teenagers, then what appears in him should be -b--"

"Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are Captain America or Harry Potter," Yucheng said, "Follow me to register your identity in a while, anyone who has this ability must register, I haven't read the news announcement, what are you running around the world if you don't register?" ”

Zhao Heng changed his sitting posture: "Ah Cheng, shut up, my brain hurts when I hear your voice-classmate, what do you want to say, you can start talking about reads now;." ”

Yucheng turned his head and glanced at Zhao Heng dissatisfiedly, behind him, Xiaopang got permission, and it seemed that he had finally come to his senses, he opened his laptop, and said while entering a series of keywords into a certain search URL-

"I got some information on the Internet before, and someone prompted a keyword, and at first I didn't quite understand what it meant, but now that you mentioned that it is related to -Odin-, it makes perfect sense-"

Chubby knocked enter, and then turned the computer to the gods of them-

"Look, all the explanations are here!"

Fu Shen squinted his eyes slightly, Zhao Heng, Yucheng and Enochhe also leaned over to look, and the four of them were silent for a few seconds at the same time, Yucheng said: "I thought you were going to say something earth-shattering, and now you will tell me that the answer is in Baidu Encyclopedia?" ………………… This classmate, do you owe a beating? ”

Chubby had a frightened expression.

Zhao Heng stretched out his hand to cover Yucheng's mouth, pushed him back into the bed, grabbed the pillow and pressed it against his face.

The god dragged the computer over, and then saw that the computer screen displayed the entry of the mythical character "Odin", and what line of words about the belief of this character was below-

[The martial Norse warriors believed that if they could be blessed by Odin in war, they would be able to obtain a force with the spirit of a bear and the courage of a wolf, and become a "berserkerrage", that is, "berserker" (berserker) or translated as "Basaka") and be invincible on the battlefield. 】

"-b- The origin of the totem," Chubby explained, "is the result of faith in the god Odin - not Odin himself's active blessing, understand?" I mean, those soldiers were actively blessed, so they appeared with blessing runes, and those who came later, they were spontaneous, naturally formed warriors - some kind of common faith, or obsession, brought them together, and after being influenced by crystals, they became -berserker-! ”

"Makes sense." Zhao Heng let go of the pillow covering Yucheng's face, pushed it away, and said in an undulating voice, "If that's the case, then these will be two completely different evolutionary human beings. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Yucheng got up from the bed with a confused expression, "After all, the number of soldiers in the -i- series alone seems to be a little less, and those test subjects are all super invincible perverts-"

Zhao Heng: "Do you still want to send a group of children to save the world?" ”

Yucheng: "Isn't it okay?" The world is theirs too. ”

Zhao Heng stopped talking, he looked at Yucheng silently, so without waiting for Zhao Heng to make a move, Yucheng silently pressed the pillow back to his face and fell on the bed.

For a long time, I only heard him bury himself in the pillow and say sullenly-

"I've waited twenty-three years for the Hogwarts owl, and now I finally have the opportunity to be called a superpowered boy by faith, and as a result, I'm already old and have no dreams of not being worthy of being Odin's warrior, woo woo woo...... Isn't it just a test subject, and it's picking and choosing as long as it's a little fresh meat, and what are the arrogant reads;! ”

……

At 8:00 a.m. the next day, the outside temperature in Washington, D.C., was minus 33.5 degrees Celsius

This is an ordinary upscale residential complex.

Although it was already early in the morning, the darkness outside the window always gave people the illusion that the night had not passed, and the surrounding qiē was frighteningly quiet, and all that was left was the sound of the wind and snow outside the house crashing on the window.

When Mrs. William got up, she went to the living room as usual to prepare breakfast for the family, while her husband was still asleep in bed, and her little daughter was ......

Mrs. William, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, seemed to remember something, and picked up yesterday's newspaper, which had been carefully folded and put away, and there was a report about a quarter of the newspaper in a corner, and the report in it was a miraculous scene of the girl on her way home who saved the babies who fell from more than twenty stories unharmed.

"Diana." Mrs. William looked at the newspaper with her daughter holding the baby and looking at the camera, and for a moment, she held the newspaper close to her chest as if she wanted to hug the girl in the photo, "I hope that the new ability can bring you some vitality and your life will be better......

Long.

Mrs. William put down the newspaper in her hand, looked at the clock at the bedside, realized that if she didn't prepare breakfast, her family would starve when she got up, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up, and when her feet landed, the slight coldness of the floor made her shiver.

"Floor heating doesn't work? With such a cold weather, if it continues like this, maybe Bick won't have to go to the company and work from home instead. ”

The muttering of self-talk sounded, followed by the inclination of slippers in the hallway—and then, with a soft click, the living room was illuminated in a small part by the dim light.

In the dim light, Mrs. William was startled by a slightly squirming white figure lying on the sofa in front of the fish tank, but she soon realized that the back of her was nothing more than her little daughter in a nightdress—the cartoon plush slippers on her feet were the best proof of this.

"Diana? My dear, did you wake up so early today? The school hasn't announced the resumption of classes, so you can sleep a little longer—what are you doing there, dear?" ”

Mrs. William approached gradually.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of water coming from the fish tank as the goldfish jumped.

She subconsciously stopped.

At this time, she saw the girl lying on the edge of the fish tank turn her head, and in the dim light, it was not difficult to see that there was a trace of wet water on her chest at this time, and the girl seemed to be unaware of it-Mrs. William frowned slightly, although her daughter was no longer afraid of the cold after the appearance of that magical power, but she was still worried that she would catch a cold with wet water in this weather, however, before she could remind her daughter to hurry up and dry her clothes, when her eyes moved up slightly, the scene she saw next made her choke all the words in her throat -

At the corners of the girl's tightly closed pale lips, a thin film of pale red was exposed, and under the gaze, the film fluttered, as if something was in its final dying struggle-

The girl's throat moved, and after a "click" of chewing, the fishtail finally stopped beating...... The pale lips moved, and it was sucked in, disappearing from Mrs. William's sight.

The girl showed a familiar smile from Mrs. William: "Good morning, Mom, is breakfast ready, can I eat steak if I want?" ”
