Chapter 144: Zero
At 10:15 p.m. New York time, four "weirdos" wearing cloaks and masks suddenly appeared in a sewer under Manhattan
Rakshasa (Emmahua): "Is this the place? Barton ...... where they last caught the big rats" - pulled out her weapon and stood on guard
PS: After taking Logan, Ka Al contacted Barton again and asked him for his address
Ka El: "Huh?" - I don't think that's right
Rakshasa (Emmahua): "What's wrong?" - nervous
Ka El: "(Attempts to teleport through walls, fails)...... The ground beneath my feet was resisting me, and I couldn't dive any further. β
Emma: "Resist you?" (Attempts to telepathically gather information below, fails) ...... I, too, can't sense any brain waves directly below (sent by mobs such as rats, crocodiles, mermaids, etc.) in the sewers, and if it's not solid underneath, there's a huge shield. "-confirmed
Logan: "(cough) cough cough...... I didn't expect ...... cough cough cough ...... Let's hit the right ...... I found the general location of the "alley" ......" - coughing non-stop
Ka Al: "Well, look at your cough, what did I say before? You didn't pick this gas mask, did you?"
Logan: "I didn't expect the smell to be so ......" - admitted
Rakshasa (Emmahua): "Really? I think it's okay." β
Ka Al: "How can you compare to him, his sense of smell is much more sensitive than you......" - rummaging through his backpack
Emma: "But I'm all right, I'm not as ...... as he is"βstrange
Karl Al: "You're just allergic to certain chemicals, and those harmful substances can be filtered out by normal gas masks, and he's smoked by the stench...... Listen to me, and change it to this gas mask I made for you, "Comrade ......" - pull out a "pig face" and hand it to Logan
Logan: "Look at this thing you made...... Is there no other style? It has to be so cartoonish...... "-resistant
Ka Al: "Don't say it, I really made a prototype of the "rhinoceros head" style before I made the zuΓ² "pig noodles", and the filtration effect is similar to that of the "pig noodles", but the volume is a bit large, if you want to use it, I will go back and get it for you......"
Logan: "Done, what's the difference between the two styles...... By the way, you just called me "Wanton"?"
Ka El: "Yes. β
Rakshasa (Emma): "You numbered everyone in the organization in case you need it?"
Ka Al: "Yes, we will definitely encounter situations in the future where we need to call each other by code names, and I will now make sure that the numbers are finalized so that everyone can rehearse them in advance, and they will not be blind in that situation in the future." β
Emma Jr.: "Yes, indeed...... So what's my number?"
Ka Ayer: "I have given you numbers in the order in which I met you yesterday, so your number is "one", and the other one that is not here is "two", and Tang Jing is "three", and Logan is "Shi", and Barton is "Wu" and "......" - explain
PS: Barton's "Woo" stalk comes from "Spy 4", in which [Jeremy Renner] (the actor of the movie version of "Hawkeye]) plays the super agent codename "Five"
Emma: "I'm One, what about yourself?"
Ka El: "Tut-tut...... (Shaking with a wicked smile, while holding up his index finger and shaking it from side to side) It's not "Lu", it's "Zero", No.Zero, the most handsome ...... in the number"
Little Emma: "What's the most handsome one, how old are you, you haven't passed the second phase yet?"...,
Ka Al: "You still have the face to complain about me? I don't want to think about how you introduced yourself to me before? Specimen number Zero.Zero.Zero.Zero.Zero.Zero (five zeros). -- Expose history and fight back
Little Emma: "It was imposed on me by someone else, not by me, and it is completely different from you!" - blushing
Ka El: "Hmph, whether it's imposed or taken by yourself, who is the best fit for Zero here, let's fight it out here!"
Emma: "Just what I want!" - a defensive gesture
Rakshasa (Emmahua): "Hey, hey, your actual age is not too young, don't follow him to fool around, even if there is free time now (Logan is changing clothes) ......" - stop the two from messing around
Logan: "(Costume complete) Donald, no, Zero ......" - rephrased his words
Ka El: "What's the matter, Comrade Wanton?"
Logan: "Can I change the number?"
Kar Al: "Change the number?" Do you think the "Wanton" is unlucky?"
Logan: "No, I've had similar numbers before, and I'd be more comfortable if you could call me "ten." β
PS: The "X" in the "X Weapon Project" in the original book is actually the Roman numeral "ten", and Wolverine is the transformed [Weapon No. 10]
Ka Al: "No problem, as long as it's easy for you to use, Comrade Ten." β
Logan: "Thank you. β
Ka El: "It's time for the natives here to lead the way...... Did you find any clues?"
Emma: "(Using Telepathic Scouting)...... Not to mention insects such as spiders, I didn't find a single horse, but I found a lot of rats, and the intelligent creatures that resemble mutants in urban legends...... Not a single one. β
Kar El: "So they're out of your precise range (two kilometers radius)?"
Emma Jr.: "Yes." β
Logan: "There are no traces of large rodents in the vicinity (footprints, droppings, teeth marks from molars, leftover food, etc.), they may have moved ......" - the search was unsuccessful
Ka El: "Yes...... Okay, let's go to the next location......" - leading the group to teleport away
Three hours later, in a section of sewer
Ka El: "Okay, if that's still not the case, I'll send you home to rest, and we'll ...... again tomorrow."
Emma Jr.: "Wait a minute......" - as if sensing something
Ka El: "What, the homeless man was found again?"
Emma Jr.: "No, it's not a homeless man, it's another shielding point......"
Logan: "Another shielding point? There are two damaged species reserves under Manhattan?"
Emma: "No, it's nowhere near as big as it used to be, and it's not under our feet...... (indicate) that direction, about a kilometer from here......"
Rakshasa (Emmahua): "(Look at the map) But it should be a dense area of pipelines, how can you use that kind of building material......"
Emma: "No, this shield feels different to me from the previous one, it is softer and more hidden, not caused by that dead thing, more like a ...... made of some kind of biological energy field"
Ka Al: "Finally found ......" - a sigh of relief
Me (voiceover): "[Mr. Sprint] Run, the rat catchers are here again." β
