Chapter 263: The Knight of Arkham
"You deliberately asked Strange not to go deeper into the Desperate Virus, are you preparing to come yourself?"
In addition to carving out a separate hidden laboratory to house Strange in, Zorro also had to arrange the guy's diet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the lab had no doors or windows, Zorro designed a crawler tunnel that could only fit into a bowling ball, specifically for transporting food and water. And when to transport, how much to transport, how to retrieve the utensils, Zorro left it to Aoi La to be responsible. As a result, Aoi Ra, after understanding his whole arrangement, had the above question.
"Of course, no." Zorro shook his head, denying Quela's speculation, "I told Strange before, now I'll say it again." I don't really have any interest in the Desperate Virus. After being injected with the Desperate Virus, he almost blew himself up, but after a period of rather painful torture, he finally succeeded in getting the abilities brought by the Desperate Virus, and since then, his style has improved, his status has climbed, and he has climbed to the pinnacle of life? Some people may, but it's certainly not me. The author gave me a fake protagonist template, and I didn't want to give my life to the undisciplined author and the probability of not dealing with me. ”
Aoi La frowned: "But ......"
"Moreover, more than twenty and thirty years have passed, and I have survived, so what is the urgency at this time."
Seeing that he said it easily, he really didn't seem to care, so Aoi La had no choice but to stop asking.
Actually, there is another reason why Zorro doesn't want the Desperate Virus - and that's the main reason. And that is that he doesn't want to make his body more complicated. Something Strange said before made sense. He was originally conceived by the original owl court from an embryo with multiple genetic fragments from multiple sources through rapid breeding, and then injected with a variety of serum agents and underwent a variety of experiments. No one knows how many hidden dangers are lurking in his body now, in addition to the more excited and colder he becomes. Desperate virus? Not to mention the risk of self-explosion, I am afraid that after injection, it will ignite and detonate all kinds of hidden dangers in his body that cannot be detected by current scientific and technological means like a fuse. That's Sparta.
He would rather leave the original problem unsolved, and he doesn't want to encounter more problems. Therefore, after arranging a place for Strange to use his spare heat and let Aoi La take care of it, he didn't bother with the hidden side of the laboratory.
If you think of this world as a sandbox game that Zorro is playing, Zorro once thought that his main mission was to go home and return to his original universe. And after the Cosmic Cube incident, he found that it was a dead end, a fake main line. Excluding the main plot that he doesn't even know exists, there are several subplots he is involved in: the decisive battle between the mutants and Ambrera, the agreement with the Kryptonian Fiora, the hostility from the side of the Sky Eye Society, and so on. And what was really in front of him was two things.
One, the Inhumans.
Skye's training is on track these days. She has learned to use her free time on her own to exercise her control over the vibrations through small means. Her latest development is that under Zorro's suggestion, she began to sense the natural vibrational frequency of objects at a certain distance, and can initially use this method to sense the surrounding terrain like sonar.
Speaking of which, this unplugged reconnaissance method, which does not use sound waves and does not use infrared, is much easier to use than other types.
However, Zorro's Inhuman issue here has nothing to do with the progress of her superpowers, but with herself.
Zorro stumbles upon Skye's biological father, Carl, who has arrived in Gotham and has already joined up with another of the previously mentioned Inhuman Clans, Lincoln Campbell, the little prince of discharge. In addition to these two, there were two other people from the Inhuman side.
One is a woman with a shadow clone technique similar to that in Naruto, Alyssa, let's call her a doppelganger. Her doppelganger can receive different commands from her ontology and has its own independent sensory system. Unless the clone is killed, the clone's five senses will not be shared with the main body, but the clone and the body, and between the clone and the clone, can be connected through long-distance telepathy. These abilities make her alone equivalent to a team.
Another Inhuman is named James, nicknamed Hellfire. His ability is to attach flames to everything he touches, starting from the surface of contact and extending outward. This ability may not be as good as Thunderbolt in Fantastic Four, or even as good as Burning Man in mutants on some occasions, but in many cases, he is still extremely lethal.
The purpose of their visit to Gotham was naturally Skye. It's just that Zorro still can't figure out why Skye is so important.
Admittedly, there is a parents' desire to find their daughter who has been separated for more than 20 years, but this is only one aspect. If this was the reason alone, Skye's father would not have been able to mobilize so many Inhumans to help, even if Skye's mother, Jia Ying, was one of the leaders of one of the Inhuman factions. He himself is not a member of the Inhuman race, he does not have the genes of the Inhuman race in his body, and he is already ostracized, so he will definitely not have this qualification, even with Jia Ying's support. In addition, Zorro had already made it clear from the Eyeless Man that Skye's mother's Inhumans were not colluding with Hydra, but were avoiding contact with ordinary people. And that doesn't explain why Skye's mother sent someone to retrieve Skye with all the fanfare. You must know that unlike Jia Ying's faction of Inhumans who need to go through a long time to be assessed before they can get the chance to pass through the Terrigen Mist and then awaken the ability of Inhumans to become superpowers, Skye has not been assessed. It was during an accident that she experienced the Terrigen Mists before she awakened Inhuman abilities. She is against the rules of Jia Ying's Inhuman race. Although there are no penalties prescribed, they are not easily accepted by the clansmen. So judging from the current situation, the decision to retrieve Skye should be approved by that group of Inhumans.
Just, why?
Zorro pressed this question for several days, but the eyeless man refused to let go - it was clear that this cartilage was very cooperative in other aspects, and even when Zorro "asked" him to "provide" a little blood, he didn't say anything, just hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand. This made Zorro more sure that there was something in it that had not appeared in the plot of his previous life.
After talking about the Inhumans who are looking for Skye in Gotham, let's take a look at the second thing Zorro faces - the red hood.
Since that night, with Zorro's "assistance", he got out of the hands of Nightwing and the others, and took away the two-faced people who were knocked unconscious by him, as Zorro expected, the red hood first hibernated, procured weapons and equipment on a large scale, secretly recruited and hired all kinds of people, some local and more out-of-town, to maximize the resources of the two-faced people into instant combat power as quickly as possible. Then, one night, he went into action.
With an army of formation—indeed a "big army," outnumbered more than any of Gotham's current gangsters—the Red Hoods were launched simultaneously from Gotham's Old Town, Financial District, Upper West Side, and Fashion District, and in just two hours they had taken over the entire south, a third of Gotham. That's the most important third of Gotham. The police station, the city hall, and so on are all over there, and they're all down.
Pulling up such a team that is much better equipped than the Gotham police or even the SWAT team, and has many more people than the police and SWAT combined, a third of Gotham is naturally not the ultimate goal of the Red Hood. He led his team all the way north, invincible, and now has most of Gotham in his pocket.
During this period, "Batman" naturally will not sit idly by and watch the actions of the red hood. It's just that ...... "Batman" failed again. Nightwing, dressed in a bat suit, takes Catwoman and the Night Stalker into a big battle with Red Hood outside the Arkham Asylum. As a result, Red Hood tells his men to "liberate" Arkham Asylum, and he stands alone in front of the asylum's gate, dragging Nightwing, Catwoman, and Nights.
By the way, he wasn't red hooded anymore then. Dressed in new gear, he calls himself "Knight of Arkham". As a result, there was a news headline in Gotham's major media the next day.
"Knight Showdown: The Dark Knight is defeated by the Arkham Knights, and Gotham is about to fall!"
