Chapter 37: The Death of the Protagonist

The corpses lying on the ground were all miserable, and on the side of their open mouths there was a large puddle of disgusting yellow-green semi-dry vomit.

This disgusting thing, it's all over the ground.

Natasha's cheeks twitched, and even with her well-informed, she felt uncomfortable.

But as an ace agent, her qualities drove her to quickly analyze everything she saw, and she pulled out a pair of gloves and put them on, ready to look through the corpses.

Chang Wei said: "There is still a living one inside." ”

Natasha woke up and rushed into the cave next to her before Chang Wei. Chang Wei followed slowly, the cave was winding, the light was dim, and along the way he encountered several corpses that were exactly the same as those encountered outside the cave.

The cave is no more than 20 meters deep, and after turning a big bend, a relatively open cave appears in front of you. The cavern is split in two, half sealed by wrist-thick steel gates, and houses some intricate-looking instruments. A 'chubby' figure could be seen lying in the middle of the instruments.

On the other half of the table was a table with some leftovers of food on the table. Two round corpses lay on the eaves of the table, the foul-smelling smell of disgusting vomit filling the small space.

Natasha picked up an electric baton on the ground and picked a bunch of keys from the waist of a corpse at the table. Then she opened the gate and hurried in, and after only three steps, she stood still, then sighed and turned her head.

Chang Wei stood outside the gate and pointed to the half of his body exposed between the instruments: "This is a living one." ”

Natasha closed her eyes for a moment, "But the person we're looking for is dead." ”

He's dead?

Chang Wei walked into the gate, his eyes swept over the body that still had some remaining breath, and landed in the place completely blocked by the instrument, and saw a corpse that was no different from the two dead bodies outside the gate.

He was lying on his back, and his swollen face could vaguely show that he had once called for wind and rain in the media. A pair of cloudy eyes stared wide, and they couldn't bat at each other. The signature mustache is covered in disgusting vomit all over it. There was also a battery hanging from his bulging chest, and several wires connected his body to the battery.

He spread out one hand, and with the other he clutched the leg of an instrument, which must have been very hard before he diedβ€”the flesh and skin were propped open by the bones of the hand.

"The time of death is about the same as everyone else's, within four hours." Changwei ancient well has no waveway.

Natasha rubbed her hair: "Mission failed. ”

"What about this?" Chang Wei pointed to another spherical human body with half a breath left.

Natasha said, "I'm dying." We don't have doctors. ”

The implication is helpless.

Chang Wei nodded and did not speak. He could have saved the man's life for the time being, but he would not have to die. This is an inevitability, and no one knows it better than Chang Wei.

So he didn't say much.

Natasha turned on the liaison and stepped aside to report the failure of the mission. Chang Wei stood aside, his thoughts tumbling in his heart.

Stark is dead.

That's amazing enough. This is a 'protagonist' character. In Chang Wei's few memories, he vaguely remembers that this guy used his ability to knock out an armor with a hammer and hit it alive, and since then, he has called for wind and rain and done many big things that shocked the world.

But he died.

But that's about it. The 'protagonist' type of character, although he has a lot of luck, is also accompanied by various life and death crises in the process of growing up.

For example, some miscellaneous records I read in the Taixuan Immortal Gate in the previous life recorded the detailed process of how many protagonist-like characters were killed before they grew up.

This is to warn those demon-level disciples who are gifted and transcendent, telling them not to be too prodigal until they grow up.

Stark's cause of death is closely related to Changwei. In other words, the death of everyone here is closely related to Chang Wei.

Poisoning.

Most people die in less than half a day, and Stark is actually the last breath of time - he was already seriously injured, and he can last until he dies with everyone else, which shows that every person with extraordinary abilities is extraordinary.

But he still died.

If Chang Wei didn't guess wrong, the one who was about to die completely with half of his breath left must be a scientist named Ethan, who has the same name and a different surname as Hunter.

He's still going to die.

The poison technique had reached such an extent that his internal organs had almost completely rotted, and even Chang Wei couldn't save him.

It's no wonder that Chang Wei suddenly recorded a large amount of luck on the coming aircraft, which is expected to come from Stark. If he doesn't die, he will have a huge impact on the humanitarian world.

But he died, and he died from poisoning. So this fortune fell into the hands of Chang Wei.

Chang Wei didn't know how to evaluate this matterβ€”his eyes swept over the instruments, and he had a faint understanding in his heart.

By this time, Natasha had already reported to S.H.I.E.L.D. the fact that the mission had failed.

She walked over: "The U.S. military and our S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel will arrive here in half an hour to make the final confirmation of the death of the mission target." It's a shame that your vibranium is gone. ”

Chang Wei's expression did not move: "Since I didn't complete the task, I don't care." ”

Natasha turned and walked out: "If you think it smells good." ”

Out of the cave, Natasha climbed the sand dunes and sat there alone with her knees crossed. Chang Wei followed, sitting cross-legged beside him.

The sun is about to set over the horizon in the west, and the temperature in the desert is starting to drop. But it's still blazing.

"I've done a lot of tasks, and I've never done anything like this." She said lightly: "Stark's importance is undoubted, his death will have a huge impact, but I failed so completely. I only saw his body, which was ridiculous. ”

"There are times when people miss." Chang Wei said: "The ace agent is not the god of your family, he knows everything and is omnipotent. ”

"Are you underestimating me?" Natasha looked back.

"Yes." Chang Wei burst out two words, and Natasha raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to fight?" ”

Chang Wei shook his head lightly: "You can't beat me." ”

Natasha suddenly calmed down: "My mentality is a little unbalanced, sorry. ”

In silence, half an hour passed. Several planes buzzed over, and Natasha raised her gun and fired a shot into the sky.

Moments later, three helicopters landed on the dunes.

Coulson jumped out of one of the planes and staggered up the dunes with his sick body in tow. The other two planes disembarked two groups of American soldiers, and they quickly fought into the canyon.

Coulson looked haggard: "Stark is dead? ”

"Yes." Natasha was calm at this time: "It's in a cave in the canyon. When we found him, he had been dead for some time. ”

"What about the cause of death?" Coulson asked.

"You'll find out when you go down and see." Natasha lowered her head: "It's a bit miserable." ”

Coulson was silent and sighed for a long time: "Things in the world are not always as expected. It's a pity that the director's idea fell through. ”

With that, he also slowly walked down the sand dunes and into the canyon.
