Chapter 131: See Zatanna Again
Long black hair with bangs, a black collar, black leather stockings and boots, black tight leather pants, and a small white vest that accentuates style and figure. Such an outfit that will look very revealing on others, and only Zatana can wear a mysterious, strong, beautiful and not kitsch taste.
If you want to say that after crossing into this world, who is the person that Rhaegar is most grateful to is not Bruce Banner who wanted to help him escape the fate of being used as a guinea pig, nor Skye Fiz Simmons and others who accepted him into the big family of the special operations team and always communicated with him with a normal heart, or even the mysterious leader of the Resistance who gave him the opportunity to 'restore his true body', but knowing that he had no body and could only ' Sojourner's Zatana, who still takes care of him tenderly in the face of a dead body, is willing to risk his life to lure away the enemy for him!
Of course, this is not too directly related to Rhaegar himself, who Zatanna was meant to be. But that didn't stop Rhaegar from being a million grateful to her.
Speaking of which, not long after Rhaegar had just 'lived' on Regamalik's corpse, he was finally rescued by Zatanna and another female superhero, Black Canary, after a series of tests that left him helpless and tormented, but he met Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Maria Hill, the deputy commander. At the time, the latter two said that they could take Rhaegar and Zatanna out of there as soon as possible, and Zatanna said that they would escort Rhaegar until he was safe. It was at that time that Rhaegara's affection for Zatana skyrocketed. It's just that the two leaders of S.H.I.E.L.D. played a trick in the back, under the pretext that they had to block the pursuit of Hydra for the safety of Rhaeggar, so that Zatana and the Black Canary were left behind, making Rhaegar a lonely person who could only reluctantly accept the terms proposed by these two leaders and break into Hydra as Regamalik......
Rhaegar hadn't seen Zatana since. It was a complete surprise for him to meet here now.
However, when Rhaegar called out her name, Zatanna was not surprised, but looked at him suspiciously.
"You know me?" She looked Rhaegar up and down, then shook her head slightly and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The smile froze on his face for two or three seconds before Rhaegar reacted, and then scolded himself for being stupid. Now that he's been 'reborn' and has gotten rid of the corpse that belonged to Regamaric, it's no surprise that Zatana doesn't recognize him. He was a little anxious to get to know Zatana and catch up with the old days, but it was clearly not the right time.
Returning to the previous topic, Zatanna and the resistance fighters were asking Rhaegar to verify his identity. Rhaegar simply used his fingerprint to unlock the Resistance's custom-made phone, then lit up the screen and handed it to Zatanna and the fighters.
"See, I'm the legal owner of this phone specially made by your resistance......"
Before he could finish speaking, Zatanna reached for his phone and clicked on it a few times. And just as Rhaegar wanted to remind her not to press it randomly, she actually took out another almost identical phone from behind her, and after a few clicks, pointed its camera at Rhaeggar's screen. After a 'tick', she handed her phone back.
"Jacob Ray? It seems like a pretty ordinary name. Glancing at Rhaeggar, Zatanna smiled softly, a little teasingly. Then she turned back to the resistance fighters: "He is indeed the man we are waiting for. ”
Rhaegar was a little speechless. He subconsciously looked at his mobile phone, which was still stuck in a screen similar to a QR code.
Well, the Resistance is really trendy.
Rhaegar was then taken into the interior of the camp, in a shack. Then he had just sat down to drink a cup of fresh camel milk from the natives, and before he could ask what he did not understand, a meeting began about the operation.
There weren't many people in attendance, except for Rhaegar himself—Zatana, the captain of the previous warrior squad, and a native in an extremely complicated attire. If nothing else, this native is the leader of the tribe.
Judging from the way they dressed, this primitive tribe was indeed not the Samburu tribe that Rhaegar originally thought.
The meeting began, and the main speaker was the captain. He first talked about how much time they had spent waiting, alluding to the fact that Rhaegar was late. And when Lei did not enter and did not comment, he said the content of this operation.
From the words of the warrior captain, Rhaegar guessed correctly, this primitive tribe was indeed not a Sambru, but was disguised to avoid trouble. These natives come from another country, Wakanda, northwest of Kenya.
Wakanda, there was no such country on Earth before Rhaegar crossed over, but that didn't prevent him from having a certain understanding of 'Wakanda'. After all, in the setting of the virtual story, this African country has the world's only vibranium mine!
That's right, it's the material from which the American team's shield is made - vibranium. Rhaegar had only encountered a replica of the American team's shield before, and had used it for a while, only to have that shield smashed into a sieve by the enemy with the Desert Eagle. But if it is replaced by a genuine vibranium shield, the Desert Eagle's ejection speed is higher than the speed of sound, which is not enough for it to tickle!
This time, the actions of the resistance group were related to vibranium. The cause was an outbreak of a disease on a large scale in Wakanda, which originated from a small tribe and killed nearly 100 people in a month, and thousands more were in a state of dying. Famous doctors in Wakanda and the World Health Organization have sent people to the scene, but they are helpless to deal with the disease. They could not find out the cause or transmission of the disease, or even whether it was contagious or not, because people in the same tribe were sick and some were not, while people in different places several kilometers away had the same symptoms. As a result, they could only isolate an entire area around that small tribe. In this case, it was proposed to cleanse the area of all people, regardless of whether there were signs of disease or not. Because those who do not show symptoms may be in the incubation period......
The primitive tribe that Rhaegar and the Resistance are now in contact with has escaped from that quarantine zone. However, the reason why the natives of this primitive tribe fled to avoid the fate of being purged was not the main reason. They found out part of the truth about the disease and were retaliated against. According to them, it was an infectious disease with a witchcraft nature, so modern technology could not detect it at all. The point is that behind this witchcraft epidemic, there is also a conspiracy discovered by the natives and hunted down for this - someone wants to seize the vibranium of Wakanda, so such a disaster is created to distract the attention of the Wakanda royal family and some other important forces and important people, and then prepare to wait for the opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
(PS: Zatanna here is a look from the DC anime "Justice League Dark".) It's not the magician's at the beginning, but the one at the back, well, barely defined as a combat uniform. )
