Chapter 97: The Mutant Underground
Claire woke up in the back seat of the car, and in a daze, she only remembered that she was on the night shift in the hospital. After handing over the few wounded who were being hunted down and killed to the people sent by the government department, I couldn't help but doze off in the nurses' station, and I was too tired for the past two days.
It didn't take long for Claire to wake up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a face that frightened her. It's not that bloody and rotting zombie face, for Claire, she has seen a lot of all kinds of tragic corpses, and she won't panic.
But Claire remembered a face that looked exactly like the corpse with a severed head.
And the face in front of him is not a miserable white dead face, but has become vivid. Listen only to the man who has risen from the dead saying to himself, "Hello, Claire. ”
Undoubtedly, Claire let out a high-pitched scream, and then fainted.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in the carriage. And the car seems to be still driving in an unknown direction.
Claire got up in a daze, saw the driver's face in the rearview mirror, and almost fainted again without being scared.
However, the ability of humans to withstand fright is constantly improving, and the fright effect of the same thing will continue to decrease. Therefore, at the next sight of Eric Severn's face, Claire just shrunk in fear, but did not faint again.
"Claire, calm down, I have no ill will towards you." Eric Severn also noticed that Claire was awake and said comfortingly.
"What the hell are you?" Claire asked tremblingly.
The resurrection of the dead, for an ordinary person, is really a bit beyond imagination and very difficult to accept.
This is not the story of Jesus' resurrection, the man's head was sewn with his own hands, and his internal organs were plucked out piece by piece. The deeper that memory is, the greater the fear it brings now.
"I don't know what I am, I don't even remember anything but my name. But I remember that you brought me back to life, so you are my benefactor. Eric Severn said.
Hearing Eric Severn say this, Claire calmed down a little, and then said, "I'm not God, but I don't have that kind of ability." ”
"To me you are God, give me a chance to be born again." Eric Severn said in a sincere tone.
"That's how you repay me? Kidnapping me from the hospital after scaring me out? Claire asked, rather angrily.
"You're in danger, and I want to protect you secretly, but they're too strong, and I know I'm no match. Therefore, I can only take you away for the time being. When things settle down, I'll send you back. Eric Severn said.
Naturally, Claire didn't believe the man's words, but she also knew very well that she didn't know where she was now, and violent resistance could only cause greater danger.
On the surface, Eric Severn didn't mean to hurt himself, and it was better to wait until he found an opportunity to escape.
Therefore, Claire fell silent. The car traveled all the way and it took about half an hour before it stopped.
Claire looked out the window and saw that it was already off the beaten track, with nothing but an abandoned gas station building next to it.
Claire followed Eric Severn out of the car and into the gas station.
As soon as he entered, a chain fell from the roof, tying Eric Severn around his neck.
This turn of events startled Claire, who could barely stand on her feet.
And then, an even more exciting scene appeared, Eric Severn's hands began to turn red and hot, and he actually melted the chains into molten iron.
The heat not only fused the steel, but also set his collar on fire, and there was like an extra flame collar near his neck.
Eric Severn shook off the molten iron on his hands, tore off his clothes again, and said loudly, "Lorna, it's me, can you see clearly before you do it." ”
Out of the shadows came a girl with long green hair and fair skin that was almost bewitching. She has a face with delicate features, but she has a punk-like smoky eye makeup and dark red lip gloss, and she looks wild with a bad touch.
It's just that she was standing several meters away just now, how could she control such an iron chain? It's like having an invisible arm.
"You should have made a noise before you entered the door, and when I saw two people coming in, I naturally did it. Who is this woman? The green-haired girl asked Eric Severn.
Then, Claire saw the fused chain fly back up and hang back on a hook above the doorway.
"My savior." Eric Severn replied.
"Mutants too?" Lorna asked curiously.
"No, she's just a nurse."
"So what are you bringing her here for? We're leaving New York. ”
"She's in danger, and I have to protect her."
……
Looking at the two people in front of her, Claire felt that the world had become quite strange. A man who has come back from the dead, whose hands can emit the heat of molten metal, and another girl with green hair, who can control an iron chain out of thin air.
Is this the power of the devil or the power of God?
But after being frightened so much in one night, Claire also felt that she had become numb, and she had no intention of running away. But it's also very helpless, this neighborhood looks like a wilderness, and I don't know where to run if I want to.
"Well, you can take her with you for the time being. It's best not to have any trouble, though. Lorna finally agreed to Claire's existence, but this was not a good thing in Claire's opinion, so it was better to send herself back.
This abandoned gas station is a small place, simply separated by wooden planks to separate several rooms so that people can lie down.
Eric Severn handed Claire two bottles of water and some bread and comforted her, "I know you may not believe it yet, but I really just want to protect you." ”
"Who are you and that girl?" Claire asked.
Eric Severn hesitated for a moment, then said, "Have you ever heard of mutants?" ”
"Mutants?" Claire only thinks she's heard the word, but she can't remember what it means.
"Mutants are a race with special abilities, but our numbers are very small, and now we are in a very dangerous situation. Lorna intends to establish a mutant underground organization......"
Before Eric Severn could finish speaking, he heard Lorna's voice coming through the plank: "Eric, did you bring anyone else with you?" I sensed a car approaching. ”
"Cars? Could it be passing by? Eric Severn asked.
"Probably not, the style of this car is too rare, it is a military sand off-road vehicle." Lorna said.
