Chapter 145: The Amozhuo Network
New York City, five kilometers away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Beneath the sky, red by the firelight, the magical crow tore through the clouds with its pitch-black wings and swooped down high from the sky. Like black arrows from the clouds piercing through the dust, crows screeching haughtily, chaos magic seemed to be drawn from every corner of the atmosphere, filling the pair of deep black wings.
Patient Zero roared fearlessly, spread his wings as well, and set off a strong gust of fishy wind, which in an instant rose into the sky and collided with the falling crows.
Eric's longsword pointed straight downward, and the magic attached to the sword swayed violently like a flame against the direction of the wind. Raven gestured, and more surging mana blessed the blade like a spinning drill wrapped around the blade. The two swooped side by side in the crows transformed by magic, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
The two sides finally met in mid-air, and the burst of magical energy turned into a rain that fell in the sky. The magic that extended from the sword flew sharply through Patient Zero's waist and abdomen, and the purple-black slash tore through his indestructible flesh, and the tip of the sword slashed upwards the moment it slashed through his back, dragging the black flesh and slashing off half of his disgusting wings.
Sure enough, as Eric expected, the chaos magic really gave the Amazo virus a headache, and it was an ability that it couldn't replicate. The Alpha Armor's resonance ability is one of the most special in the Amozhuo series, and while it can't simulate magical abilities, it is able to absorb some of the magic she unleashes when it resonates with the Raven and mixes it with the energy generated by its own simulations to achieve a similar effect. Aside from this, even the original Demonzo robot itself cannot replicate Chaos Magic.
"Woo......" Patient Zero fell from the air with a grunt, a long strip of black blood spilling from the broken wings on his back. He fell back into the middle of the pack of infected like a bird with broken wings, groaning for a moment before finally stopping. Immediately after that, all the infected people stopped their movements at the same time like electric toys that had been unplugged, and fell limply back to the ground.
At the same moment, strange fluctuations struck Eric's brain.
It was an indescribable strange feeling, and suddenly he felt as if his brain had become a GPS, and his mind was dragged out of the camp by invisible lines, over high walls, across chaotic neighborhoods, stinky alleyways, and over geographical restrictions to an old-fashioned white-brick building. He could feel the cold paths in the building, the pitch-black room, and the man waiting for him there.
"Eric? Eric? ”
Raven's shout pulled him back to reality, and he noticed that he was standing on the ground in a distraction. Thick smoke obscured the sky, and the feet were strewn with unconscious infected people.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
Eric let out an "ahh ”
In response to Raven's suspicious gaze, he chuckled and touched her head, "Why do you put on such an expression?" Don't worry, I'm fine. ”
Raven withdrew his gaze, unnaturally dodging his hand, and regained his salty tone: "It's not ...... Particularly worried. ”
Aegis soon came back to clean up the mess, but cleaning up the battlefield on this side of the camp was still a small matter, and the bigger problem was still unsolved.
Eric and Revan are temporarily back on the mothership with the rest of the Avengers, the Captain, Ant-Man, and Hulk are back in a coma, and Tony is in desperate need of recharging his armor. Patient Zero was transferred to the mothership to continue extracting the original virus from the blood, which is the most important task of the day.
The head of the study shook the test tube filled with black liquid in his hand, and the blood extracted from Patient Zero made a "sizzling" sound in the test tube, just like when a corrosive liquid undergoes a violent chemical reaction.
He frowned, it was clear that it would not be good news.
"How's it going?" Fury asked on behalf of the anxiously waiting crowd.
The person in charge shook his head: "I'm afraid...... This won't help us. ”
"What's going on?" Tony asked, "Doesn't he have the original virus sample in his body?" ”
"Nope." The person in charge explained, "The virus has seriously mutated in his body. While he can organically mimic other people's superpowers, in essence, he is very sick himself, but his abilities are different from those of other cases. But in general...... He had no antibodies, and he was dying. ”
This news is tantamount to a slap in the face to everyone, it is like directly cutting off the last ray of hope and pronouncing the execution of human extinction.
"Perhaps...... There is still a way. ”
Eric spoke coldly, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
"In fact, I was exposed to the virus during the battle just now." "But the armor did a full scan of my physical signs and didn't find anything unusual." I didn't feel any discomfort myself. I suspect that perhaps the part of the primordial sub-mojovirus that had been mixed into my body through my armor before that helped my body adapt to the mutated virus. But if my body defeats this virus......"
"You might have antibodies in your blood." The person in charge's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly found a blood vessel.
"Wait, you said you were exposed to the virus?" Tony asked as he stared at the person in charge pulling a tube of blood from Eric's arm.
"Yes, but I said I was fine......"
"But you may have something, you should be careful. It's just a matter of luck in case you don't make it ......"
After drawing blood, Eric lowered his sleeve, smiled faintly, and patted Tony on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your concern." He said lightly, "I'll be careful next time." ”
"Hmm...... Well, you just pay attention. ”
Eric took a deep breath and headed for the door.
"Wait." Fury stopped him, "Where are you going?" ”
"Just take a break." Eric didn't look back, "There's nothing to do while waiting for the antidote anyway, is it?" ”
He lied.
Although he couldn't explain it himself, after being exposed to the virus, he suddenly felt as if he was being connected to a large web, a vast web built by the consciousness of the sub-demonic virus, and he was a part of it at that moment, and could feel any other part of the web that was linked.
For example, where Omega's suit of armor is located.
Quietly, he left the carrier float. The green light mode Alpha armor fell from the sky, like a glowworm lost in the yellow dust, shuttled through the reinforced concrete of the city, and followed the route engraved in his mind to the building in his mind.
He slammed open the door and stepped into the same dark and cold corridor as in the image, and entered the deepest room.
Then, as in the image in his mind, the man sat quietly in the room, waiting for his arrival.
"Sure enough, it came." The man spoke calmly, "I'm still wondering how long you're going to have to struggle." ”
Eric said coldly, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, it's time to draw a rest. ”
