The winter sun is warm, but even so, the streets of New York are dressed tightly for fear of catching a cold. In a city where you have to wait in line for months to see a cold, the vast majority of Americans are accustomed to solving minor ailments on their own, except, of course, the wealthy.

Eric Severn wore a coat over him, which looked a little thin, but in fact he was too heavy. As an enhanced person who has been modified by the Desperate Virus, his body can produce high temperatures all the time, and it is not a problem to melt gold and iron.

In this case, it is really difficult for him to feel cold in the winter. If it weren't for the fact that Eric Severn didn't even want to wear this jacket, a T-shirt would suffice.

Eric Severn walked through the crowd, following the flow of people along Fifth Avenue. After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to the front of a men's clothing store, and pushed the door and walked in.

Ignoring the clerk's enthusiastic pitch, Eric Severn walked straight to the fire safety tunnel of the merchandise.

As he passed the safe exit, Eric Severn touched an ornament next to the passageway.

The relief-like ornament sank down, revealing a passage underground. This is a secret base of AIM, specially prepared for them who are desperate virus hardeners. The higher the rank of the soldier, the more independent secret bases he has.

However, this place does not belong to Eric Severn, but to another secret base dedicated to the Enhancer of the Desperate Virus.

Before his amnesia, Eric Severn was almost Killian's left arm and right arm, and he was the strongest of the Desperate Virus soldiers, belonging to the captain's class. As a result, Eric Severn has many secrets about the other Desperate Virus Soldiers, including the location of these secret bases.

Walking down the passageway, Eric Severn came to a well-lit basement that was blocked by a heavy metal door.

The door doesn't have any keyholes, no combination locks, and not even the handle to open the door. Eric Severn was not surprised, and reached out and pressed against the door to begin activating his abilities.

His palms turned red, and when the heat reached the inside of the iron door, he heard the sound of a mechanical change, and the heavy iron door slowly sank into the ground.

This is a temperature-sensing door lock specially designed for desperate virus enhancers, and the average person can't open it at all.

It's just that when I walked in, it was empty, only some simple furniture, and I couldn't see anyone's existence.

"Going to wait for the rabbit?" An electronic sound rang over Eric Severn's shoulder, revealing a robot the size of a palm.

This is, of course, Li Bai, who was deployed by Rorschach to Eric Severn to help him complete the task.

"Although I know a little Chinese, you still say it simply." Eric Severn said a little helplessly. The ability of this robot is indeed very powerful, but it is loaded with a Chinese system, and it is really difficult to communicate.

Eric Saiwen has a little bit of Chinese, but the level is about the same as the English level of primary school students in China. A basic conversation or two is fine, but when it comes to idioms and proverbs, I really don't know anything.

"I mean, you're going to wait here for that guy to come?" Li Bai explained it in straightforward words.

"That's right, this guy Hank has also been notified, and he will definitely come here to get his amulet and go to Iraq." Eric Severn said as he opened a locker in the basement, which contained small glass bottles, not gold, silver, jewelry, or high-tech weapons.

The bottle was filled with formalin, as well as human ears. Judging by the silhouette and size, the owners of these ears are probably underage children.

"Heinous deeds!" Li Bai said angrily.

This time there was no need for a translator, and Eric Severn could understand what Li Bai meant, and responded: "That's right, Hank is a complete villain, although I myself am a person who deserves to go to hell, but Hank is ten times more hateful than me." In fact, when I was still in the company, I had already planned to kill him, but Killian valued his strength and kept stopping me. ”

"This man deserves to die, but don't forget the commander's orders." Li Bai reminded Eric Severn.

Li Bai had been secretly protecting Wanda, but some time ago Pietro needed to go to Canada to recruit new mutants. Wanda asks Li Bai to go with Pietro, because his facial simulation function can make it easier for Pietro to sneak in.

It's just that I didn't expect that not long after I left, there was an incident in which Wanda was held hostage by Carl. Although Rorschach did not blame Li Bai for this, he thought in his heart that it was only his own responsibility.

Therefore, for the tasks assigned to him by Rorschach, Li Bai must be perfect and not allow any mistakes.

"Don't worry, this guy is my replacement. When Killian was afraid that my prestige among the desperate virus soldiers would be too high, he promoted this pervert. Now that I have been confirmed dead by them, he will definitely be the leader of the mission in Iraq this time. Eric Severn said in a firm tone.

Rorschach gave Eric Severn a simple task, which was to re-infiltrate AIM's operations and deliver a message to Rorschach. Before the AIM company acted, they were served in a pot.

Therefore, Eric Severn's first instinct was to come to Hank, a guy who had long been unhappy.

After waiting in the basement for several hours, Li Bai suddenly said to Eric Severn: "There are footsteps. ”

Li Bai is a robot, and his vision and hearing are far beyond ordinary people, even the enhanced Eric Severn can't compare to him.

When Eric Severn heard this, he immediately walked to the side of the iron gate.

There was a muffled sound, and the iron door opened, and as soon as the man entered, he was pressed against the wall by Eric Severn.

"Eric?! You're not...... What are you doing? Hank had just recognized Eric Severn when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

A sharp needle pierced his skin, and before the heat melted, Eric Severn injected the entire potion into Hank's body. When Hank wanted to immediately raise the temperature of his whole body to resist, he found that the desperate virus in his body had become inert and could not be mobilized at all.

"This is the medicine to prevent us from detonating ourselves, I added ten times the concentration, you don't have to struggle." Eric Severn said to Hank triumphantly.

The Desperate Virus is an unstable booster that turns into a bomb when stimulated by a strong force. This drug is used to suppress the runaway of the Desperate Virus, and after increasing the dose, Hank will not be able to use the energy of the Desperate Virus.

Before Hank could figure out why Eric Severn, who was already dead, was in his secret base, he felt a chill in his neck, and his head was cut off.

And because the desperate virus failed, Hank didn't even have a chance to be reborn, and turned into a corpse with a separate body.

Li Bai shook off the blood on his sword and said to Eric Severn: "The appearance has been recorded, let's leave immediately." ”

As he spoke, Li Bai turned into a translucent mask that covered Eric Severn's face, making him look like Hank. Fortunately, the two of them are very similar in figure, and there is not much difference in even the hairstyle, so the disguise is almost seamless.

By the time Eric Severn left the room, he had melted the structure inside the door with the heat, making it impossible to open the chamber again.

At the same time, Rorschach is sending a batch of newly manufactured T800 robots to Huaxia.
