Chapter 65: The Red Fruit Fruit Field
What is Death? What do you see after death?
Prior to the Zetarian invasion of Gotham, Phil Coulson, who had been stabbed through the heart with a scepter by Loki on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Sky Carrier, later told those who questioned him that he had stopped breathing for about forty seconds and saw a large white pillar of light. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info don't say whether he really died, and don't say whether he deceived, at least Zorro didn't experience what he said.
In fact, he did not die as a "scourge".
When he was in that basement in Latvia, he learned that he had no hope of returning home, and was pointed out by the black canary the nature of his willfulness, coupled with the frustrations and hardships he had suffered over the years, Zorro had the idea that "dying in this explosion is not a relief". But it's just a momentary thought. By the time he regretted it, the explosion had already occurred. The cosmic Rubik's cube, a mixture of inert and active energy, ravaged the basement and the surrounding space. Not only the area of more than 200 square meters in the basement, but the explosion also caused a brief strong earthquake, and finally exploded a basin of dozens of hectares on the terrain that was originally a plain!
Well, the latter points are not known to Zorro for the time being, but he does have the deepest understanding of the power of the explosion. That's what he finds strange - how could he not be dead? You know, he didn't lose consciousness at the moment of the explosion, but watched his body be destroyed by the energy of the Cosmic Cube with extremely clear thinking. First his Kevlar-reinforced armor, then his underwear, then his body. He still remembers the pain. And the last impression was that his two straight knives, made of vibranium and dwarf alloy, which he had ordered for a large amount of money from the black market weapons dealer Ulysis Sklawna, were torn apart by the madness of energy.
Therefore, even the dwarf star alloy and the harder vibranium could not resist the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, how could he still be alive with his flesh and blood? Still with Hongguoguo's body and an irrepressible pain, appearing in this place that should be a hayshed on a farm? It's not the first time he's thinking about it. And that's another problem - he's woken up on and off and fainted several times. Every time before, he was in a daze, and he couldn't keep up his spirits at all. This time it's finally a little better, although it's still as hot and painful as being tortured with a soldering iron, but there is no sign that the brain is going to be "shut down". It's just that the limbs still can't move freely, even if they endure intense pain. He could only roll over from the mud under him, barely crawl to the wooden pillar next to him, and climbed to his feet.
Looking around, he saw a piece of clothing left behind in the corner of the hayloft. And just as he was about to hold on to the wall and walk to that corner, there was a sudden "boom", and the wooden door of the hay shed was knocked open, and three people appeared in that direction. So, the other party was stunned, and Zorro was also stunned.
There is no doubt that someone's Hongguoguo's body has taken the other party by surprise.
"Hey guys, ahem, although I have a good body, strength and beauty, but ...... Mind helping me get that dress in the corner? Actually, I'm embarrassed. Zorro grinned, "If it's not convenient, you can wait until I move myself to a corner......"
Two minutes later, he wrapped his somewhat conspicuous lower body with the same garment he had taken from the corner of the hayshed, and then took a black suit from the three intruders and draped it, Zorro leaned his back against the wall to be cross-examined.
Well, handcuffed.
"Whew, it feels like it's been a long time since I've had so many things on my body. It feels okay. Zorro said to Coulson with a smile.
That's right, a lean middle-aged man, a lady with a cold aura all over her body, and a dignified and sturdy older young man, these three are none other than Phil Coulson, Melinda May, and Grantward, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson squad that has been formed. The Big Bang of the Cosmic Cube was more than five months before the Zetarians invaded Gotham and Coulson's death, and Zorro himself didn't know how long he was in a coma after the explosion, which should coincide with Coulson's resurrection and the formation of the team.
Recognizing Coulson, for a moment Zorro thought that he had also been injected with alien blood. If that's the case, then his body is really "dirty". But on second thought, he ruled out that thought. Coulson was able to be revived at that time because he had a complete body. And for Zorro, under the explosion of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube energy, his body is still intact - well, I can't say that it is good, but it is indeed flawless, which is strange in itself. In contrast, extraterrestrial blood or anything is not the point at all.
This issue has been put on hold for now. Because Zorro has always had the habit of wearing a helmet and using a voice changer in front of outsiders in the past, now he is not afraid of being recognized by Coulson, who has only seen two sides. Besides, his appearance would be a big problem - but it should be fine for a short time. And now nothing can be changed, so I can only improvise.
And Coulson still looked at Zorro with a scrutinizing gaze, and his face still maintained a strange expression that had never stopped from just now to now.
"I have to admit that your appearance was very dramatic. That's how it is...... Well, clean. Coulson said, not paying attention to the expressions of the two companions next to him who were holding back their smiles, "So, who are you?" Why are you here? ”
Zorro rolled his eyes.
"The 'Appearance Ritual' should be used on you, okay. After all, I've been rotting in this place alone for quite some time before you bang the door. As for who I am, you can call me V, V_for_vendetta. And why am I here? That's what I want to know, too. ”
Coulson turned his head to look at May and Ward, then looked back, "So, V yes, you're going to tell us that you're the master here, and you don't know why you're here." ”
"Of course, no." Zorro looked at the three people opposite, with a serious look, "I'm going to tell you that I'm not from here, maybe not even from here, and I don't know why I'm here." ”
Coulson didn't mind Zorro's seemingly cooperative - or V-like style that seemed more like nonsense.
"Let's change the question. Since you said you've been here for a while, how long has that been? Did you see any special phenomena? ”
"What, you see I have a watch or some other type of timer?" Zorro rolled his eyes at the other party again, "I don't know how long, anyway, I have been in a state of semi-consciousness and half-sleep before, and I didn't fully wake up until not long ago, and my body is not very neat." You can find a professional to verify this. As for the peculiar phenomenon -- I think it's special enough that I'm here with red fruits. Other than that, nothing. ”
Coulson kept an eye on Zorro's expression as he spoke. And Ward and May too. When Zorro had finished speaking, Coulson winked at the other two, and the three of them whispered.
In normal times, even if they lip out, Zorro can know what they are talking about. But the current Zorro is not as good as before in terms of ear and eyesight. I don't know if it's permanent or temporary, anyway, he's helpless.
