Since November, Qiantang City has had cloudless sunny days every day, so the temperature is also higher than usual.

Modemo Toynbee covered himself in a wide gray jacket with a collar up to cover half of his face, he wore a pair of sunglasses, and his black hair was almost the same as a pedestrian on the road. Recently, he has been going out to step on a spot like this, as long as he is careful to avoid the police and don't speak, no one will find out his true identity.

He wandered out of the supermarket again, and he had been coming a lot lately. There is a sizable parking lot and there are plenty of electric cars on the side of the road. There are a lot of cars in the United States, and there are many old cars, so it is easy to steal, but in China it is too difficult to steal cars, and the cars here are relatively new, and the security equipment is intact, and they can't be pried open by wire. In the past half a month, he only stole three unlicensed battery cars in the vicinity, and this achievement was mercilessly ridiculed by several other people without accident.

"Hahahaha, toad, you must complete such an important task entrusted to you! Hahaha! ”

"Yes, toad, it's time to reflect your value, go quickly!"

When he was a child, because he was ugly, the people around him hated him, and gave him the nickname Toad, and later followed Lord Magneto, because of his obvious characteristics, so he was also called Toad. Everyone calls him Toad now, but he doesn't like the name at all - who likes to be called a toad.

Toynbee's fists were clenched tightly, he had long been accustomed to this level of ridicule, and what made him unhappy was that he had not completed the task assigned by the adult. Since the disappearance of the demon girl and the scrapping of the broken pickup truck in the factory, they have no means of transportation. Toynbee secretly swore that he must steal a car today, and the adults need themselves, and they must not let the adults down!

He walked around the parking lot outside the supermarket, pretending to be a fool who had forgotten where he parked his car, and he was going to walk through the entire parking lot to see which car would be the right fit, and then come back in the evening.

The sun was getting bigger, and Toynbee felt a little thirsty, so he came out of the factory early in the morning, and ate nothing, except to catch a sparrow on the way. That's why he likes to come to the supermarket, where there are so many restaurants that customers can dump leftovers into the trash can at the back door, and he just needs to pick something that looks good while no one else is there. Growing up, he lived under the beating and scolding of others, and for Toynbee, it was good to be able to eat such food.

Seeing that it was almost noon, he decided to go and eat first, this parking lot is really big enough, and he still has a lot of areas to go.

When he was about to walk out of the parking lot, he casually glanced into the car next to him, it didn't matter, he actually found a child in the back seat, Toynbee quickly put his face on the car glass and looked into the car. It was a little girl, about two or three years old, who was lying on a chair and fell asleep, but the child was not in good physical condition, sweating a lot, and her face was flushed. The weather in November is actually quite cool, but the car is exposed to the sun, and the temperature inside is not much lower.

Toynbee's eyes widened unconsciously, and it was as if everything was back to that night.

He woke up from his sleep, the car was empty, and he was alone. There was a cold wind blowing in the dark wilderness, as if a ghost was howling, and he cried and banged on the door, calling for his father and mother, but there was no response. It wasn't until dawn that no one came back, and he realized that he must have been abandoned, so he got out of the car and began his life like a gutter rat.

Toynbee's eyes were red! He raised his fist and slammed it the glass, and the car immediately emitted a screeching siren. After three punches, the window glass finally shattered, and he reached into the car and pulled the door open.

The sound of smashing cars and alarms attracted parking lot security, and several drivers who were parking nearby also walked this way. Toynbee saw someone approaching, panicked and fled, climbed the fence with his hands and feet, jumped into the street, and soon disappeared around the corner of the opposite intersection.

There was already a group of people around the car, and the security guards took out the unconscious girl from the car, and everyone worked together to feed the child water to cool down, and finally woke her up. It took about ten minutes for the girl's mother to return, and her irresponsible behavior was undoubtedly criticized by those present.

There was an old man in the crowd, wearing an old jacket, his hands in his sleeves, he did not look amazing, and he seemed to be no different from the crowd around him, he watched the rescue process of the child without saying a word, and when the mother returned, he withdrew from the crowd and walked slowly across the road.

Besides, Toynbee the toad escaped from the parking lot and shuttled through the gaps in the building, and he didn't know how long he had been running, and it seemed that no one was chasing him, so he sat down against the wall and gasped for breath. He has been on the streets since he was a child, and he has been in contact with some scum, so he has a very weak sense of right and wrong, and he is willing to do anything in order to survive, and later joined the mutant brotherhood, and Magneto often asks him to do some unsightly things, and he doesn't feel anything wrong. smashed the car to save the girl today, he didn't feel that he had done any good deeds, but he was simply dissatisfied with the act of leaving the child alone in the car.

The light suddenly dimmed, and Toynbee looked up at the narrow sky in the middle of the building, and found nothing, he thought it was a bird flying by, so he didn't take it seriously. When he was about to get up and continue walking, he found a thin old man standing in the alleyway not far away. Toynbee became nervous, when did this man come, why I couldn't detect any traces, did he come to arrest me!

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and ran, but as soon as he turned the corner, the old man stood not far in front of him again.

Toynbee, as a mutant at the level of "ε (Epsilon)", is not very strong in combat, and he has not fought hard battles in peacetime, but at this time, when he saw such a strange enemy, his legs were weak, and he still had the will to resist. He shouted at the old man with a fierce look: "Old fellow, don't get in my way, or I will kill you!" He shouted and retreated, and when he reached a junction, he immediately got into it, and ran forward with no life.

He ran as hard as he could, the wind blew in his ears, and he could only hear his own heartbeat and panting, and he ran tirelessly for a long time, but the alleyway seemed to have no end, and the scenery in front of him was always the same. The more Toynbee thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he screamed and jumped against the wall. His mutant abilities mimic that of a real toad, his palms secrete mucus and he can climb along walls for a short time, and since the road in front of him is impassable, he decides to climb up and escape from the roof.

Fortunately, it seems that this method is feasible, the roof is getting closer and closer to him, he glanced down, and he has climbed more than ten meters high, and there is no old man on the ground below. He was a little relieved and continued to climb up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he touched something, not like a wall, like - a foot! Toynbee jerked back to see the old man standing upright on the wall in front of him, and it was his shoes that he had touched! He screamed in fright, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he fell heavily from the top of the room.

Toynbee spat out a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground unable to move, falling from the height of the sixth floor to the ground, and he guessed that several ribs must have been broken.

"Step, step...", the footsteps sounded in his ears, every step seemed to step on his heart, and fear made Toynbee's whole body tremble like chaff, and he told himself over and over again, "You can't die, you can't die here!" ”

The desire to survive calmed him down, and he began to secretly accumulate strength.

The feet came to him, and Toynbee reluctantly looked up, the old man's hands in his sleeves, looking down at him with an expressionless face. He lowered his head in feigned weakness, then jumped to his feet, and a mouthful of poisonous juice mixed with blood squirted towards the old man's face. The old man was extremely fast, his steps were light, and his body retreated, avoiding the splash of poisonous juice, and Tang Yinbi saw that he missed the blow, opened his big mouth, and his long, tough tongue whipped towards the old man like a leather whip. It was too late, and the old man's arm finally moved, a big hand like a devil's claw with five fingers open, and the palm of his hand pressed against Toynbee's tongue, directly pushing the tongue back into his mouth, and the old man pinched Toynbee's head and picked him up like a windmill. Toynbee slammed his head against the wall and passed out.

...

When Steward Huang came back with someone, Ding Luo and Liu Zheng were talking about things in Zhou Kai's office. After Zhou Kai confirmed that this was the toad of the Mutant Brotherhood, he immediately arranged a secret room to control him. Liu Zheng joked with Steward Huang on the side: "It's still Uncle Huang who is amazing, he said that he went out to buy daily necessities, but he caught a bad guy and came back!" ”

Steward Huang smiled reservedly, his face unfathomable.

If you want to say this Lao Huang, it is definitely not an ordinary old man, he was a bandit in the mountains of Xiangxi at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of a coincidence, he stumbled upon a cave, there was a dry bone in the cave, and a set of martial arts was left on the stone wall. So he stayed in the cave for five years, and finally learned all the martial arts on the stone wall, and after getting out of the customs, he relied on the advanced martial arts of this evil sect, and gathered a group of thieves, and the roaring mountain forest started his old business, because he was good at claw skills, so he changed his name to "Yellow Claw".

He could have been at ease for the rest of his life, but he was arrogant and didn't have long eyes, and provoked Fu Shenzhou, who passed through the local area.

At that time, Fu Shenzhou was already a figure who was all over the world, and he exterminated these bandits in a fit of rage, cursed Yellow Claw with words and spiritual arts, sealed off most of his abilities, and deprived him of his name, leaving only his surname. Fu Shenzhou took Yellow Paw captive to the island in the middle of the lake and ordered him to take care of his home and cultivate his self-cultivation until his curse was lifted, and then he could leave freely.

That day in the hospital, Fu Shenzhou felt that Lao Huang had been loyal to him all these years, and deliberately called out the name "Yellow Claw" to lift the curse on him. But Lao Huang has been a housekeeper for decades, and he has long regarded Huxin Island as his home and Shangqi as his son and nephew, so he never thought of leaving, so he continued to stay in Qiantang City to help.

In the small talk, Yellow Paw told him about the encounter with the toad today, and everyone was very surprised, but they didn't expect this ugly-looking mutant toad to be exposed in order to save a child.

After a long time, Toynbee woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he screamed at the sight of Yellow Paw standing in front of him, and fell on his back along with the chair that had fixed him. Several people looked at Huang Paw with admiration, I have to say that this ginger is still old and spicy, and he beat people out of the psychological shadow for the first time when he came to Qiantang.

Ding Luo walked over and helped Toynbee up and sat upright, Zhou Kai cleared his throat and asked in English, "You are a member of the Brotherhood, Toad?" ”

"Don't call me a toad!" Toynbee hissed, "I'm Motimo Toynbee of the Mutant Brotherhood! The great Lord Magneto will catch you, kill you all, and sink to the bottom of the sea! Standing in the distance, Yellowpaw's arm moved, causing Toynbee to stop immediately.

Zhou Kai smiled slightly, walked over and patted Toynbee's shoulder, this action frightened him again.

"It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Toynbee, you just saved the life of a little girl, and the charge of vandalism has been written off. We'll treat your injuries later, and you'll be able to go. ”

Toynbee's mouth widened in surprise, he had never seen an official so pleasant. He also thought that these people were going to ask him where the rest of his hiding place was, and he was even ready to accept beatings and torture to extract confessions, but he didn't expect... They don't know what the Brotherhood is doing in China?

"Thank you for your help to the citizens of Qiantang, and welcome to Huaxia." Zhou Kai smiled kindly, "Is there any problem, Mr. Toynbee?" ”

"No... No problem. ”

"Ah, by the way, I heard you need a car? Qiantang City has a very complete scooter rental system, in order to compensate for your accidental injury, we can apply for one for you for free. ”

"Good, good..."

Zhou Kai's kind smile like a spring breeze and an old middle school teacher was too deceptive, and Toynbee actually believed what he said.

Liu Zheng and Ding Luo glanced at each other and gave a thumbs up quietly.
