Chapter 311: The Hunting Game (Three Watches)
"To put it simply, this island is Genozha's government-sanctioned mutant prison. A dedicated programming crew hunts mutants in the area and makes the video into a TV show for broadcast. ”
Wanda briefly explains what happened, which undoubtedly makes the already restless mutants even more nervous. Not only are they now in isolated cages, hunted and mobbed, but they're also on television — not as photogenic as TV stars, but more like hunted animals on camera.
Lorna clenched her fists in anger, and the magnetic field she unleashed unconsciously crumpled the metal debris around her into pieces.
"Let me know who orchestrated this," she said viciously, "I'm going to twist the rebar into pieces and shove them in their mouths." ”
"Well, while I don't object to you doing this, considering we're probably on the TV screen right now," Wanda whispered, "you'd better not do it." Maybe you should pay attention to the image issue. ”
"Hah! That's right, everyone has to be photogenic on TV! ”
The man's voice came from the jungle, followed by a jumble of footsteps like a roar, like a mighty army coming through the dense forest.
It was a guy in a red bodysuit. He held a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, and behind him were all those half-human, half-mechanical transformation warriors, and they drove towards them in a majestic manner, countless footsteps superimposed on each other as if shaking the earth.
"Come on, guys, laugh one!" The tight-clad freak pulled the trigger and shouted, "Personally, I'm not biased against you, but they say this ticket business makes a lot of money, and it might break the record for the highest TV show of all time!" Oh yes, and forget to introduce myself - my buddies call me 'Deadpool', and you can call me that too - if you like. ”
***
The TV screen uses striking white numbers to let go of the countdown of three-two-one against a black background, and then a host in a suit with a slick head appears on the screen. He had a standard smile on his face and recited the opening line fluently in standard English.
"Hello everyone, I'm Augustus, and welcome back to Kerakawa. The legendary show that everyone has been waiting for for weeks is finally back! This week we had the perfect opportunity to bring in a group of mutant terrorists who have been hiding with the authorities in the United States for a long time, and it could be the best episode of the show since it aired! Please don't take your eyes off it, the excitement will start right away! ”
The camera is all about it, and the picture comes to the island of Krakawa, which is in the midst of a fierce battle. The mutant group faced off against an entire army of reformed soldiers, and the flames of war spread like madness down the jungle, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Deadpool, a super mercenary hired by the show team for a super-high salary and said to have considerable experience with mutants, leads the team of transformers in a ferocious charge. They completely overwhelmed each other with firepower, and they were far ahead in numbers, and they occupied the advantageous terrain that was suitable for their own battles, and the mutants happened to be not good at using their mutant abilities. But their weakness is also quite obvious - that is, all the transformed warriors have metal parts on their bodies, and they are helpless against the little girl who leads the group in the mutant group.
However, the mutants are already at a disadvantage in numbers, and most of them are not suitable for combat, but they need to be protected by their teammates. Lorna, who can control metal, and Wanda, who can control chaos magic, the two girls have basically become the main output on the mutant side. Green and red light intertwined in the air, resisting the rain of bullets and artillery fire, and with their great ability, they did not fall behind for a while.
No, it's more than that. As time passed, Lona's head gradually became more and more awake, and her strength gradually regained. The longer she and Wanda fought side by side, the more tacit cooperation became. Sometimes all they need is a look, or a minimal gesture, as if they can connect with each other, perfectly cooperating with attacks or taking care of each other.
"You're playing well." With a mistake in her hands, Lorna tore the two transformation fighters out of the crowd in the air, and Wanda erected a crimson barrier at the same time to help her block the shelling from behind.
"Thanks, you're not bad." Wanda shot out a ball of magical light, blowing up a large number of soldiers.
"But speaking of which, how did you get involved? Are you also a mutant? ”
"I ...... No. Wanda waved her hand and commanded the chaos magic to fly like a tornado, and the storm rolled up a cloud of leaves and metal debris towards the enemy line. She pondered her words for a moment before she said, "It's just that after that previous meeting, I wanted to ...... Talk to you. So I went to you. ”
"Me?" Lorna pointed to herself, "Talk to me?" ”
"Hmm. I can't say why, but I just want to talk about it. ”
"Well, interesting." Lorna chuckled, "Would you believe me if I said I'd been thinking the same way all along?" ”
Arrows of light conjured from crimson magic shot through the jungle and rushed through the barrel of a gun that was pouring fire frantically. The body of the gun exploded in an instant, and the red light and flames tore through the barrel of the steel, scattering metal fragments in all directions.
The reformed man with the gun was suddenly blown away by the scorching wind, and it also affected Deadpool not far from him. Deadpool is blown up and flips and lands in an ugly dog-like position.
Communication from the outside was caught in the headset under his mask.
"Wilson!" Someone shouted into his ear, "What's going on with you?" ”
"Be quiet, man, my ears are so good that I can hear clearly." Deadpool lay in the mud in that unsightly position, letting the flaming fragments and stray bullets continue to explode on the left and right sides of his body, "What's the situation?" I'm trying to get things done! You know, that's what you pay me to do — catch a few mutants and show them on TV how to kill them or something. ”
"Yes, I told you to catch a few mutants and come back to chase them, and I didn't let you catch two that can take all of our hard stubble!" The guy over there almost yelled, "Didn't you see those two mutant girls dealing with our transformation warriors like chopping melons and vegetables?" ”
"Well, I didn't expect that green one to be so tough. Red ...... It was an accident, I didn't catch it. Deadpool scratched his head, "Looks like something is wrong...... But you're not going to be in debt here, are you? ”
The communication signal was cut off violently. The chubby person in charge of the studio roared angrily, "idiot" or something, and slammed down the wall hard.
"Uh, sir," the headset correspondent asked, "to release the Sentinel?" ”
"Nonsense! No more mutants are going to hit us! The fat man snarled his voice and said, "We paid so much for this thing, so let me make it work!" ”
