Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mystery of Mutation

Looking at Tony with a pained look on his face, Bucky immediately stopped his rush forward. Although the current mutant rat has been hit hard and a big hole has been cut in its abdomen, its strength is still too strong for Tony, an ordinary person, as long as the tail wrapped around Tony's neck is slightly forced, it can directly strangle Tony's neck.

The corners of the mutant mouse's bloody mouth showed a humane grin, and then he actually spoke in stiff English.

"Hostage, in my hands! Negotiate, I want to negotiate! ”

Presumably not a regular use of human language, the mutant rat's pronunciation is somewhat odd, but it's enough to shock those who hear it.

Bucky was the first to react, in this Marvel world, anything strange can happen, he can cross over, and it's not unbelievable that the mouse speaks.

Putting away the two short swords in his hand, Bucky spread out his palms and made a harmless movement before he spoke: "Relax your tail a little, if you strangle the hostages in your hands, then you will have no bargaining chips, and it is not difficult to imagine what will happen to you with your wisdom." ”

Listening to Bucky's words, the mutant rat really relaxed the tail that was holding Tony's neck slightly, allowing Tony, who was already red from suffocation, to catch his breath.

Looking at Tony gasping for breath, Bucky breathed a sigh of relief, in order to save the life of this bad playboy, Bucky said helplessly: "Negotiate, you can." What kind of conditions do you need to release the hostages in your hands? ”

The mutant mouse's eyes were dripping, although it had wisdom that was not weaker than that of humans, but it had no experience in negotiation, and lowered its head to **** the wound in his abdomen, before he said in half-baked English: "Let me leave, and I want the one just now, the person whose head was cut off and his face is covered, I want his corpse." ”

This condition of the mutant mouse really surprised Bucky slightly, and he found that the mouse looked at Wade with a strange look, and Bucky thought it was his own delusion, but he didn't expect that this mutant mouse really had a plot against Wade.

First showed a plot against himself, and now he showed the same plot against Wade, what is the purpose of this mutant rat, Bucky couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head. But now this negotiation is a good opportunity to find out the true purpose of the mutant rats.

Thinking of this, Bucky directly refused: "No, that's my companion, even if he is dead, I can't hand over his body to you!" You let go of the hostages, I can let you go! ”

Bucky's refusal seemed to infuriate the mutant rat, and the tail wrapped around Tony's neck was forced again, causing Tony to let out a muffled grunt of pain.

"The conditions cannot be changed! Otherwise, I'll fight with you, kill this kid, I may not be able to escape! ”

While negotiating with Bucky, the mutant rat's tail gradually tightened, as if it was testing Bucky's bottom line, but it made Tony bitter, and once again twitched painfully due to suffocation.

"Stop, stop!" After nearly half a minute, Bucky seemed to have just made up his mind, and shouted at the mutant rat, "Stop, I agree to your request, Wade's corpse can be given to you!" ”

Before the mutant rat could react, Jean behind Bucky exclaimed, "Bucky, you can't do this, you know, Wade is still ......"

The last time Wade's head was sewn back together with Jean's help, of course she knew that for Wade, cutting off his head was just a relatively serious injury, far from fatal.

Bucky waved his hand to stop Jean's words, turned back to her and shook his head slightly, winked at her, and then said to the mutant rat: "That corpse can be given to you, but you have to tell me the reason, why do you have to Wade's corpse, what is your purpose!" ”

Bucky didn't expect the mutant rat to tell him what it was trying to do, and agreed to its request first, just to keep it steady so that Tony's neck wouldn't be choked by its tail.

It's just that to Bucky's surprise, the mutant rat bluntly told Bucky the answer: "Because I can feel that human has a substance in his body that can improve my abilities, devour him, and I can become strong!" ”

As if remembering for a moment, the mutant rat continued: "A year ago, I was an ordinary rat living in the sewers, making a living by rummaging through the garbage for food. Until that day, a stream of blue liquid flowed into the sewer, and the liquid seemed to have a strong attraction to us rats, and in curiosity, eight rats, including me, ate the blue liquid. The blue liquid made the rats stronger, and it didn't take long for the eight of us rats to become the king of rats. But I'm even more different, after swallowing the blue liquid, I'm stronger and smarter than the other seven, and I can even swallow the other seven rat kings to make myself stronger. ”

After two strange laughs, the mutant rat then said to Bucky, "I can still feel that not only that human, but even you, has the substance I need in my body, that blue liquid, the magical liquid that changed my fate, and there are far more than that corpse. ”

Hearing this, an incident from a year ago came to Bucky's mind. It was just when he crossed over, and during the battle with the soldiers of the Hydra organization, two packets of super soldier serum were damaged in the battle, and all the serum flowed into the sewers, and he and Wade also injected super soldier serum in order to activate their self-healing ability.

Through the description of this mutant mouse, Bucky has understood that it is probably this super soldier serum that makes it mutate, and it can also detect the residual serum in its own and Wade's bodies, as long as it devours itself and Wade and obtains the remaining serum in its body, this mouse may become even more terrifying.

Just when Bucky was secretly vigilant not to be attacked by this mutant rat, the mutant rat spoke again: "But your strength surprises me, you can stand on an equal footing with me, I won't devour you!" If you want, you can rule this city with me, and you are the master of the above-ground forces, and all the underground forces are under my control, and we will not invade each other. ”

"Still in charge of the underground forces, do you think you still want to be the godfather of the underworld in New York!"

Bucky cursed in his heart, but his face remained impassive and pretended to be considerate. After a while, Bucky seemed to have made up his mind and said, "That's it, let's ......."

It's just that before Bucky could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.

A hemisphere four or five meters square, with blue light flowing on the periphery, suddenly appeared, centered on Tony and the mutant mouse, enveloping a person and a mouse, and then, an emaciated figure appeared next to Tony and the mutant mouse out of thin air.

The sudden appearance of the man made everyone in the room nervous, and Bucky drew his dagger again, and the mutant rat tightened its tail and strangled Tony's neck.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions!" The voice of the person who suddenly appeared was still a little immature, and it sounded like a half-grown child.

The blue light around him dissipated, and Bucky could see the appearance of the person who came. Less than 1.7 meters tall, emaciated, and looking only twelve or thirteen years old, it was only surprising that the boy had no eyes, and the original position of the eyes was completely blocked by slightly convex skin.

"Who are you and what are you here for?" Bucky didn't let his guard down just because it was a child, but asked him in a cold voice.

However, the boy ignored Bucky, instead turned around and said in the direction of Tony and the mutant rat, "I'm from your people, and I'm here to take you out of here today." ”

Clansman? Bucky glanced at Tony suspiciously, in his impression, Tony was a pure-blooded human without any special bloodline, how could a clansman with teleportation ability emerge?

Tony was also very strange, but now that he was about to die by the tail of the mutant rat, he couldn't ask his doubts at all, so he could only barely stretch out his finger and point to his neck, hoping that this so-called clansman could help him.

"My people, you have to relax, don't strangle this ordinary human to death. Our people have always lived a reclusive life, and there is no conflict with ordinary humans. ”

After listening to the boy's words, Bucky and the three mutants behind him, as well as Tony, who was strangled by the tail of the mutant mouse, knew that after a long time, the boy's so-called clan turned out to be this mutant mouse.

Bucky immediately became nervous, although it was not clear why a person with the ability to teleport would call this mutant rat a clansman, but it was obvious that this teleportation boy would not be on his side, and he needed to be on guard at all times.

Then, the boy turned again, smiled at Bucky, and said, "I will bring my people and this human back first, and after the elders of the clan persuade me, my people will definitely release your friend, and I will send your friend back when the time comes." ”

After saying that, the blue light that had disappeared before enveloped the two of them again, and Bucky immediately understood that the boy was going to use the teleportation ability and slipped away directly.

Tony was still in the hands of the mutant rat, how could Bucky let them go, his legs burst out with the strongest strength, and he flew towards Tony, intending to push Tony out of the blue light curtain.

But unfortunately, Bucky underestimated the speed of the boy's ability to launch, and at the same time, the boy also underestimated the speed of Bucky's flying speed, and just as Bucky pounced into the light curtain, before he could push Tony out, the entire blue light curtain instantly shrank into a point, and then disappeared. Only Jean, Oloro, and Scott, who were stunned in place, were left, and the crowd of onlookers who had been watching the movement in the distance.

The plague of giant rats, which lasted for nearly half an hour, the protagonists involved in the matter, Bucky and the mutant rats, disappeared out of thin air, and the young owner of Stark Industries, the famous playboy Tony Stark in New York, disappeared along with him.
