After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Xiaogang sighed.

Chu Tianjiang was still smoking, and this was the first time he felt at a loss since he came to New York.

After the nuclear explosion, although Chu Tianjiang picked up seven "flower butterflies" and took them ashore, Kelly only showed mild symptoms of diving sickness, but they were just not drowned. Chu Tianjiang saved them for a while, but he couldn't save a lifetime. After climbing onto the western coast of Long Island, Maya, who was in a weak body, began to vomit, and first showed symptoms of radiation sickness, and the other six were no exception, even Nicol, who had received the most protection from Chu Tianjiang, was also very serious.

Chu Tianjiang was not affected, firstly, it was protected by the Doomsday Warrior system, and secondly, its body structure was different from that of ordinary people.

However, the seven "flower butterflies" did not last long.

After settling Rachel into an uninhabited house nearby, Chu Tianjiang took Nichol and returned to the manor as fast as he could.

Along the way, Chu Tianjiang had already figured it out.

Williams must have spotted Rachel and the others hiding in a nearby nightclub, and then deliberately let them find out, luring them back to Liberty Island, and activating the self-destruct device once they entered the base. By the time Rachel and the others returned, not only could they not turn off the self-destruct device, but they also did not have enough time to escape from the area of the nuclear explosion. In this way, there is no need for Williams and Soldier X to take action in person, and the "Flower Butterfly" can be wiped out. In addition, even if you don't kill all the people in the base, a nuclear explosion can eliminate the consequences.

All of this is within Williams's plan.

Perhaps, Williams also found Chu Tianjiang and Nichol, and knew that the two followed the woman named Natasha to the coast. Perhaps, Natasha is Williams' subordinate, and her sudden appearance is only part of the plan, that is, to lure Chu Tianjiang and Nichol to Liberty Island.

In this way, Chu Tianjiang and Nicol were also counted.

Thinking about this, Chu Tianjiang couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

Dealing with Campbell before, it can be said that he was at ease, but after meeting Williams, whether it was Chu Tianjiang or Zhang Xiaogang, the methods they played were all axes in the class. In just one night, Williams defeated Luo Jinyong, got rid of Nicholas, and almost wiped out the "flower butterfly". If the self-destruct device is not discovered in time, I am afraid that even Chu Tianjiang will lose his life.

Faced with such a powerful role, Chu Tianjiang felt lack of confidence for the first time.

"What, scared?"

"Fart! It's a big deal, if we pat our butts and leave, is it possible that he can still go to China to deal with us? ”

"If that's the case, then it's time to throw in the towel."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Admit defeat? Lao Zhang, you never admit defeat before, and I never admit defeat, are you also afraid? ”

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'also'?" I'm not afraid. ”

"But what are we going to do?"

Zhang Xiaogang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Do you want to listen to my advice?" ”

"Of course, why would I come back to you?"

"Since you want me to give you advice, you still have a stinky face."

"Lao Zhang, I'm begging you, okay?"

"Come on, I'm kidding you." Zhang Xiaogang sighed and said, "Obviously, this is a trap that Williams has designed a long time ago, not only is every step accurate, but also all of our expectations, so that we can't guard against it, or even have nowhere to prevent it." ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"It's just that this trap is not perfect, there are some loopholes, such as the mysterious woman named Natasha, Nicholas did not die on the spot, and the means used to deal with the professor. If we can catch any of these loopholes, we can see through Williams's ruse. ”

"This ......"

"It's a shame that we didn't catch these loopholes. From another point of view, it shows that Williams has absolute confidence in the trap of design. ”

"What does this mean?"

"If you're so confident, then Williams must think you're dead."

Chu Tianjiang frowned, and understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant, because it meant that Williams would no longer try to deal with Chu Tianjiang and the "flower butterfly".

"If I were you, I'd take advantage of this opportunity."

"How?"

Zhang Xiaogang was thinking about it when the health care doctor rushed over.

"Lao Li......" Chu Tianjiang immediately stood up.

The health care doctor shook his head and said, "It's very serious, I can only prescribe some medication to stabilize the condition, you have to prepare for the worst." ”

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt like he had lost his soul.

"How much longer?" Zhang Xiaogang asked. Although Chu Tianjiang and Nichole have not known each other for a few days, Zhang Xiaogang has already seen that Chu Tianjiang has no real feelings for Nichol, not like he did to Janet at the beginning, just with a playful mentality.

"Forty-eight hours at most."

"What?" Chu Tianjiang raised his head and looked at the health care doctor in disbelief.

"It is a miracle that she was exposed to severe nuclear radiation and was very close to the source of radiation and suffered an excess of radiation, and she is still alive."

"No...... It couldn't be ......."

"Were you with her at the time?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"I'll check ...... for you"

"Lao Li, there is no need for this. Lao Yan has taken anti-radiation drugs, which should not be serious. Zhang Xiaogang immediately called the health care doctor. You go and prescribe some anti-radiation medicine for Nicole, you don't have to worry about other things, I told Lao Yan how to deal with it. ”

"This ......"

"I'm responsible for anything, and you don't need to be held responsible."

As soon as Zhang Xiaogang said this, the health care doctor left the restaurant.

"Damn, I'm going to break Williams to pieces!" Chu Tianjiang smashed down with a fist, and the dining table made of oak immediately fell apart and fell.

"Roar, no matter how you roar, Williams won't die, and Nichole won't live."

"Lao Zhang ......"

"Aren't you going to listen to my advice?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately calmed down.

"That's right, no matter what happens, you have to stay calm and don't get angry, because getting angry will only make you make a wrong judgment."

"I know that I will keep my emotions under control."

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "In the afternoon, I will take the professor back to China, and things have been arranged here." Because you're 'dead', you can't stay in the manor. In the few days since I've been back home, you've had to rely on yourself, and the first thing to remember is to be calm. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded and didn't say anything.

"Now, you take Nichol and them to New Mexico right now."

"Now?"

"This is the only way to save them, although there is not much certainty, but there is a glimmer of life, and if they stay, or go somewhere else, they will definitely die."

"You mean, go to Stephanie?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Now we can be sure that Nicholas didn't lie to us, and there must be a reason why he asked you to take Nichol and them to Stephanie." What's more, the cancer caused by nuclear radiation is a terminal disease, and even if Nicol and the others were sent home immediately, it would only be a matter of allowing them to live a few more days. Nicholas made such an explanation before his death, showing that Stephani was not simple. Also, Stephani was a student of Nicholas, and she worked at the Alamos lab, don't you think she's the only hope? ”

"This ......"

"Still haven't figured it out?"

"You're saying that Stephani is a participant in the X-Warriors project and can save Nichol by transforming X-Warriors like Campbell?"

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "If you think about it, you will know what to do." ”

"Lao Zhang, you're such a fucking genius, why didn't I think of it."

"You're right, I'm a genius, but I don't need the preceding sentence." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "If you care, it's chaotic, but it's normal to not expect it." But I would like to advise you that before you settle your relationship with Nicole, it's best to let her know that you have a godson and a girlfriend who is helping you take care of your godson. If she can't accept your past, you'd better be sensible. ”

"I have nothing to do with her."

"Come on, anyone can see your relationship with her. If you didn't care about her, would you be in such a hurry? As long as you care about her, it shows that she already has a place in your heart. Although your subjective consciousness has not yet accepted her, it does not mean that you do not care about her. ”

"Let's talk about this in the future, and whether I can save her is still unknown."

"Anyway, let's know for ourselves."

"Xiao Fangfang ...... there"

"Rest assured, I'm not an open-mouthed person. Besides, even if she knows the truth, she can understand it, after all, this is what you have to do. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "Lao Zhang, I really don't know how to thank you. ”

"Next time there is such a good thing, don't eat alone, remember to leave me a soup." After speaking, Zhang Xiaogang laughed.

Chu Tianjiang knew that Zhang Xiaogang was joking, and said, "I'll go pick up Rachel and them now, and I'll go to the airport with you in the afternoon." ”

"You're confused again."

"This ......"

"In their current state, will they be able to parachute from a transport plane? Are you going to let the transport plane land halfway through and take you to your destination? ”

"So what to do?"

"You wait." Zhang Xiaogang left the restaurant, and after a while, rushed back with several bottles of anti-radiation drugs and a map of the nation's transportation in the United States. "It's about 3,000 kilometers from New York to the town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, and you can drive there in a day without a break."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Don't worry, bring your medicine and the necessary weapons."

"Weapons?"

"You want the whole world to know that you are a superpowered warrior? You'll have to disguise yourself as fleeing civilians, and Nicol they'd better disguise yourself as your sister, and at least six of them as your sister. Whatever the situation, unless absolutely necessary, only ordinary weapons can be used. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"Go see Nichol, come down in ten minutes, and I'll help you get your vehicle and weapons ready."
