"Can we really survive?"

Rocket Raccoon asked, standing on the edge of the washstand, a little dejected, before turning his gaze to Star-Lord Quill's arm, where the lower half of the sleeve was empty.

Rocket Raccoon closed his eyes, pressed his paw to his eyelids, and said bitterly: "I can't believe it, just a few hours ago, you had yourself amputated here, you really, you really ......"

Rocket Raccoon couldn't say the second half of the sentence, he actually wanted to ask, "Are you really still awake?" Or rather, he wanted to ask, "Are you crazy?" But when he thought that everything that had happened to Quill was actually caused by him, he couldn't ask these sharp questions.

The events of the night before were so horrible that Rocket Raccoon had no idea what Quill had seen, only to see him scratching his arm, screaming wildly, and then convulsing and foaming at the mouth in pain, smashing his elbow with heavy pieces of concrete, and then cutting off half of his arm.

Rocket Raccoon has seen a lot of terrible things in the interstellar society, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange situation, and he can't find where the enemy is, so naturally he can't resist.

The raccoon felt guilty for not being able to help, but he couldn't help but give up on himself, and he flicked his tail helplessly and said, "Maybe it's going to be me tomorrow night, maybe we'll all die here?" ”

"Stop talking stupid." With his last hand, Quill held the blade and scraped his stubble against the mirror on the bathroom sink.

His expression was not bitter and hateful, on the contrary, there was some lightness, and when the sun shone on him, it seemed even more incompatible with the oppressive atmosphere around him.

"Actually, I already have a little bit of an idea." Quill tilted his head from side to side, touched his smooth chin in the mirror, and said, "Do you think there are too few monsters in this world?" ”

"That's less? Do you want them to fill the world and swallow us up?! Rocket Raccoon exclaimed in bewilderment.

"Didn't you see it all when you came here? Most of the corpses that fell to the ground were only partially torso, and that part was missing, and I guess the monster might have hatched from there. ”

"If everyone is parasitized and a monster hatches, then the number of monsters is too small, and if everyone is not parasitized, then judging by the number of monsters, it is impossible for the survivors to be silent."

"Although I am a little pessimistic, I still tend to tend to think that almost everyone has a monster hatched in their body, but they don't know where they went after leaving their mother's body."

After shaving, Quill walked to the hospital window and looked out onto the road, where there were many monsters dragging some human limbs, but there were not many of them, they were not dense at all, and they were not fast in their movements, and their desire to attack was not strong, as if they were just following instinct to forage for food.

"I have a quirky feeling." Standing in front of the window, Quill stared at the broken pavement and said, "These monsters that have emerged from human bodies are not meant to attack humans, this is not a contagious virus. ”

"Oh my God! Listen to what nonsense you're talking about! Rocket Raccoon jumped on Quill's shoulder, turned to look at him and said, "The city has been ruined like this, and you still want to applaud these monsters?" ”

Quill shook his head, without further explanation, he sighed, turned around and began to pack his luggage with his remaining hand, but he didn't really have anything to bring, so he left the hospital with a large package of medical supplies and cans found in the warehouse that had been dug through the patient's personal belongings cabinet.

There aren't many monsters on the road, but it's still a hassle to avoid, Quill relies on his good skills, most of them act on the rooftops of low buildings, and the small rocket launchers that Rocket Raccoon loads on his arms can repel some monsters that want to climb up.

In this way, they walked between homes in Queens, New York, and before the next night, Quill climbed to the top of a high-rise building in the business district and looked out over the whole of New York.

"I guessed correctly, those monsters are indeed moving in one direction." Quill reached out to shield himself from the bright sunlight and squinted his eyes into the distance.

It's not hard to come to this point, and the remaining traces of slime on the ground and tall buildings alone are enough to show that just recently, these monsters have undergone a great migration, and at least 90% of the monsters have converged towards a point in New York.

Quill sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not from New York, and I don't know where their final destination is, so I can only take one step at a time." ”

"Where are they going?"

Wanda grabbed Jarvis's hand tightly and asked, at this time, several people had also walked out of the residential area and climbed a building, but under Xu Shangqi's suggestion, they did not go to the top of the building, but climbed to the upper floor, entered an abandoned office, and found a room with a guardrail in front of the window to look out.

Hearing Wanda's inquiry, Jarvis's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and spat out a few words: "New York's Central Park." ”

"Oh my God, why do monsters want to go there?" Wanda spread her hands and said helplessly, "Don't tell me, they want to go there to see the scenery." ”

"I think there's something that's attracting them." Jarvis stared out the window with a serious face, he had to take on the responsibility of leading the team when he was the only one intact and unaffected member of the team, but he was not willing to do so.

For a long time, he was just Stark's assistant, and the fact that intelligent beings themselves were good at following orders and acting on orders, being the leader of a team, and having complete decision-making power was unprecedented for Jarvis, completely contrary to his instincts.

But he had to do it, his team couldn't say that it lacked arms and legs, it could only be said that it lacked everything but arms and legs, Riley couldn't hear, Wanda couldn't see, Xu Shangqi couldn't speak, and the three of them would be disturbed by that terrible power at the same time, and they didn't know if they could survive the next night.

So, after a moment's thought, Jarvis said, "We should be heading towards New York's Central Park, but first we should find a car." ”

The others didn't have any opinions, so they went downstairs together, and luckily they were not far from an exhibition hall where there was a car show.

Several people went to the exhibition hall as fast as possible, hoping to rescue a good car, but unexpectedly, there were not no good cars at the auto show, but too many, and almost none of them were damaged.

Throwing away the horrible slime and messy corpses on the surface of the car and the ground around it, the car is even in pretty good condition, and many of the cars used for test drives are full of gas, which is really incomprehensible to several people.

Generally speaking, the most vulnerable to destruction when the end times come is all kinds of transportation, especially civilian transportation, which are not born for defense, but a little bump, that is, the kind of bump beyond the scope of ordinary people's strength, and it is easy to fall apart.

When a powerful mutant like Wanda fights with others, he has to blow up at least a few cars with a wave of his hand, and it is obviously unusual that the cars here can be preserved so well.

"What's going on? Doesn't that group of monsters attack cars? Wondering what Jarvis described, Wanda continued, "If they were attacking indiscriminately, the vehicles would be more vulnerable to damage than buildings, and if they intended to cause mass destruction, they would definitely prioritize attacking vehicles to prevent humans from escaping." ”

"They probably didn't think about attacking."

Riley only said this sentence and fell silent, Wanda fell silent, and Jarvis couldn't understand what dumb riddle they were playing, so he could only find a car that he thought was the most suitable, checked the condition, and found that it was completely fine, and then several people got into the car.

I didn't encounter any monsters along the way, but the doubts in the hearts of several people became more and more intense, the city was destroyed, and everywhere was very dilapidated, like a scene of the end of the world, but the problem was that there were too few monsters, and there was no aggression, and the materials were not scarce, and there was no riot from the state of the corpses.

It is not at all logical that there are even shops with generators with lights on, that the shelves are full of goods, that they have not been looted, and that there are no bullet holes or other wounds caused by modern weapons on the mutilated bodies.

If the hatching of this monster is like a zombie virus outbreak, then it will definitely cause panic among the crowd, ordinary people who see the monster will run away in a panic, the police will try to maintain law and order, attack the monster, and the news will spread, which will cause a large-scale hoarding of materials among the people.

But this kind of scene now, it's as if a second before everyone dies, and the rest of the people are still living normally.

It's even more frightening than that chaotic sight.

The biggest fear comes from the unknown, the few people present have more or less seen the chaotic and dilapidated scene of some zombie movies, although it is sad and angry enough, but it is not unacceptable, but now this calm before the storm has made a deeper fear grow in everyone's hearts.

With a "zila" sound, the car stopped.

The three men in the group, who were still sighted, looked up, and in the middle of New York's Central Park, they saw a huge temple with a painting style that was completely different from all the buildings around it.

"Oh my God, what is this?!" Riley couldn't help but exclaim, Jarvis blinked, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "It looks like there's some oriental style, and so on, that decorative pattern should be in my database...... Kama Taj! ”

Hearing this name, Wanda immediately exclaimed, "Oh yes, if the world is destroyed, what about the mages? Are the mages still alive? ”

"Time Stone, if the Supreme Mage still has the Time Stone, then maybe we can ......"

Wanda's words came to an abrupt halt because she thought that if the Supreme Mage could really use the Time Gem to reverse the current situation, then he would have done it a long time ago, and if he didn't do so, it meant that he was powerless.

Wanda took a deep breath, then sighed again, she clutched Jarvis's hand tightly, even half-leaning on him, Miss Witch rarely made such an unreserved gesture, but she really felt hopeless.

Jarvis put his arm around her, put his arm around her back, buried his head in her neck and shoulder, and said, "It's okay, Wanda, we'll live." ”

"But it's getting dark." Wanda said in a crying voice: "It's going to be dark again, can we really survive this night?" ”

Xu Shangqi and Riley were both a little silent, they didn't have the confidence to answer the question at all, they had only been here for the third day, but they had suffered more torture and darkness than all the things they had experienced in their past lives combined.

"We will." Jarvis raised his head, quietly staring at the sun's setting on the skyline, a glimmer of inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes, and then said, "No matter what, I will let you live." ”
