Chapter 1: Not Dead
In the unknown land, Alex, who was racking his brains, didn't think of any good ideas, so he thought of asking the swamp people for a reason. Unfortunately, several attempts at the exchange ended in failure. Annoyed, Alex decided to break in, and as a result, the two were chased and intercepted by tens of thousands of swamp people, and only with enough speed did the two barely escape back into the forest.
Countless attempts were made over several days, all of which ended in failure. Alex and Emma reluctantly retreated into the forest, looking at the club-wielding swamp man from afar, their faces full of gloom.
& Alex, let's find another way! Emma was panting from exhaustion, her full chest trembling violently, and her reddened little face was covered with beads of sweat.
Alex was in better condition, his face was not red or breathless, but he was covered in scars, all of which were left by the swamp people. Hearing Emma's words, Alex kicked the rocks under his feet with some irritation, and yelled angrily, "These swamp people are so hateful, they are just borrowing a way, and they have made some kind of hatred!" ”
While complaining, Alex suddenly heard a strange "grunt" and turned his head to see Emma with her head down, her face flushed. After running back and forth all day, the two of them didn't eat anything, their stomachs were empty, and they were hungry.
&'s hungry, let's go back and eat something first! As if he hadn't heard, Alex turned and walked away, muttering as he went, "When I'm full, I'm going to let these swamp people taste my awesomeness!" ”
After successfully hunting an unknown beast, Alex carries the beast taller than himself back to the two's habitat, which is a cave. It was discovered by the two of them in two days, and after some transformation, it became a temporary habitat for the two.
Beyond the cave is a small stream, whose source is a mist-shrouded mountain in the distance, and at the end of the stream is a swamp. The beast was cleaned by the brook and carried into the cave, where a bonfire had been lit.
& Coming! Hearing the voice, Emma shouted without looking back, and took care of the cauldron burning on the campfire, "The soup will be ready soon, wait a minute!" ”
Although the cave is simple, it has all kinds of daily necessities such as quilts and cooking utensils. These things were stolen by the two of them from the Swamp People, who in turn looted them from the Orcs and the descendants of Atlantis. There are two beds in the deepest part of the cave, and a few tree trunks are fixed to the ground to make a bed frame, and a few quilts are placed on top of it, and a simple wooden bed is ready.
Alex threw the beast on his shoulder to the campfire, lay lazily on his bed, turned his head to look at Emma, who was busy, and said with some interest, "Emma, how did you say outside?" Is World War II over? ”
Hearing this, Emma froze her hands, looked up at Alex, shook her head and said, "You are Alex, the captain of the howling commando, you should know this best." ”
Alex suddenly fell silent, his expression became a little gloomy, and he said after a while: "I'm not the captain, Steve is." ”
&No, I didn't mean to. Emma looked at Alex with a guilty look on her face and said hesitantly, "But as far as I know, Steve's business was not done by Sebastian Shaw. ”
Alex's face changed abruptly, and his eyes were fixed on Emma, as if he was going to swallow her: "What did you say?" ”
Under Alex's eyes, Emma unconsciously trembled slightly, but she still said calmly: "I can telepathize, Sebastian Shaw can't hide any secrets from me, so I ......"
Alex took a step from the bed, grabbed Emma's neck with both hands, and asked sharply, "You deliberately talked about Steve, what the hell are you trying to do?!" ”
&Just wanted to help you. Emma looked at Alex with a worried face, reached out and gently stroked Alex's face, and said softly, "Although I can't sense your mind right now, I know that you are in pain and anxious, and I hope I can help you." ”
Alex was silent, let go of the hand that was holding Emma, sat down on the ground in a daze, and looked up at Emma: "You know a lot. ”
& There are so many secrets that I can only scratch the surface of. Emma coughed lightly, filled a bowl of soup, and carefully handed it to Alex, "From what I know, I think you've been deceived." ”
Alex took the soup bowl, blew lightly, and was about to take a sip, when he heard the words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Emma with a surprised face: "What do you mean?" ”
I don't know who told you that Steve's affair had something to do with Sebastian Shaw, but I'm sure it had nothing to do with Sebastian Shaw. Emma also filled herself a bowl of soup, took a sip carefully, and said slowly, "And at that time, the Hellfire Club had reached an agreement with the Allies, and it was impossible for Sebastian Shaw to trouble Steve again." ”
&What can't be? Alex was a little angry, and his tone became a little anxious, "He's planted us several times, and it's normal to wait for an opportunity to retaliate." ”
& Bastian Shaw has big ambitions, he wants to be the boss of the Hellfire Club. Emma filled Alex another bowl of soup, shook her head, and said, "At this time, he can't and dare not do anything against the will of the Hellfire Club." On the contrary, he will do everything he can to please you, as it will increase his leverage in the Hellfire Club. ”
Alex frowned, as if he didn't believe Emma's words.
Emma saw Alex's suspicions, and didn't explain much, and said to herself: "The Hellfire Club doesn't have any reason to deal with Steve, but that person told you that the Hellfire Club did it, which is very suspicious. ”
Alex couldn't help but think of the person who told him the news, and his heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized that he might have been calculated. "You say he lied to me, so why did he do that?"
Emma shrugged her shoulders, chuckled and said slowly: "There are many reasons for this, it may be that you want to kill Sebastian Shaw by your hand, or you may want to kill you with Sebastian Shaw, or you may simply want to provoke the relationship between the Hellfire Club and the allies!" ”
Listening to Emma's reasons, Alex suddenly found that he was really simple and cute, ** stupid, and would believe the words of a person who was threatened by himself and had to surrender!
Thinking like this, Alex's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Emma with some excitement and asked, "Is it possible that Steve's business was done by him, and then deliberately lied to me that it was Sebastian Shaw?" ”
Emma's brows furrowed slightly, and she nodded, "Very likely." ”
& One of my men, uh, coerced. The more Alex thought about it, the more excited he became, circling around the campfire, "He wants to hurt me, so he's going to deal with Steve......"
Spinning around, Alex suddenly stopped, stared at Emma and said slowly: "You say, in this case, will he really kill Steve, or will he temporarily leave Steve's life as a bargaining chip?" ”
& Steve. Emma said without hesitation.
>> Steve is still alive! Alex jumped up excitedly, a smile of excitement on his face, "Isn't it?" ”
Emma was stunned when she heard this, and turned around for a long time, it turned out that Alex was for this sentence.
& of! ”
