Chapter 63: Returning Home
"I've been tossing and turning and can't sleep."
"Actually, at first, I suspected that it was because of the spicy double meat burger that Aunt Sarah made at night, because my stomach has not been very good recently, and my stomach hurts from eating spicy food."
"But...... Just now, I suddenly had a strange feeling......"
"I don't think I'm the only one in the room......"
"Someone is watching me......"
Harry was in a bad state, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
This is the manifestation that follows extreme fear.
What happened to him was too strange and unbelievable.
After a while, he said, "Then, I looked out the window through the gap in the quilt on the bed......"
"...... in the gap of the curtains"
"There's a face."
A pale, swollen face was pressed there, with a horrified smile on its face, staring intently into the room.
As he spoke, he took another cup of hot water with his slightly trembling hands.
"Chocolate, it can relieve this symptom."
George handed over a piece of bitter chocolate.
This is what Diana taught him.
"You've seen an infected, and it's an infected that has the ability to cause mental pollution."
George's brow furrowed.
Fog......
In the nightmare just now, there is also the inner world, and the gray fog is also a part that cannot be ignored, forming the basic environment of the world's construction.
Or is it not an environment at all, but some kind of life?
Until now, it seems that as long as you stay honestly in a confined space at night, you will not encounter danger.
George's brain suddenly became very useful.
He pulled out his notebook, which had torn out many pages, and scribbled certain words or phrases on it with his pen.
"Mist."
"Infected."
"I suspect these infects are following a certain concept."
"The concept could be outdoors or in the fog, and once you touch the concept, you can be attacked."
George looked at the fog with a gloomy gaze.
He imagined one after another emaciated, pale humanoids surrounding the house, their mouthparts wide open to show sharp teeth, their tongues with round, spiral-shaped organs, crawling on the ground with their hands and feet, occasionally approaching the unlit windows, imprinting their pale, swollen faces on the glass as if they had been dead for a long time......
"We ...... Do you want to give it a try? ”
George suddenly turned his head with a resolute look in his eyes, and he said,
"Try to capture an infected body hiding in the fog?"
Harry shuddered.
He said, "But where are we going to lock up?" ”
"Stark Industries."
George said.
Carla said that Diana was invited by Tony to a meeting at Stark Tower, along with Hulk, Captain, Black Widow, Hawkeye, a black man named Hancock, and several other masked superheroes who would not reveal their true identities.
He was sure that the Avengers must know something.
Or rather......
Tony. Stark must know something.
You must know that even Arcie can monitor most of New York, not to mention Iron Man, who can mobilize dozens of artificial intelligence to work for him at any time.
So, what is the content of their meeting?
George glanced out the window again at the billowing fog.
Someone is destined to have no sleep tonight......
。
。
。
The next day, before seven o'clock in the morning, Sarah's voice began to echo in the ears of the two teenagers.
She is always in good spirits.
Seeing George and Harry with big dark circles under their eyes, they slapped a large puddle of salad in their bowls with a click.
Last night they reluctantly agreed on a plan and a process for the implementation of the plan.
But relying on them alone is a bit dangerous, and some strong assistance is needed.
Peter counted one.
George actually wanted to take Carla with him.
Supergirl's deterrence is still very terrifying, although it may be a big step short of the genuine Superman, but at least in such a Marvel world, it is estimated that no one can beat her.
It's just a pity that most of Kara's energy has to be involved in the inner world.
"By the way, Harry, you've been living in our house lately, and it doesn't seem to be very peaceful in New York City."
Sarah took two bites and hurried to the kitchen to fry eggs, she said, "Yesterday Mr. Stark said that it should not be enough before the whole of New York will be under martial law in a few days, and the army is ready to take over the city's night security." ”
"Okay Aunt Sarah."
Harry looked at George.
Martial law in the city?
Did this work......
George was skeptical.
The number of anomalies in the fog seems to be increasing, most likely due to the depravity of those who have disappeared.
If this is the case, then the army is likely to become a new force of the alien after entering the fog without a reasonable way to deal with the alien.
This is not good news for New York.
And if even the military is lost in the fog, even the U.S. government will no longer be able to conceal the truth, and there will be great fear throughout the American continent.
Such an environment is a breeding ground for aliens.
The morning news on TV was already beginning to broadcast yesterday night's foggy weather, and at about half past six in the morning, almost the entire New York City fire, public security and government emergency agencies were dispatched to patrol the streets.
For a while, some people were terrified.
"I'll take you to school."
Sarah frowned, and there was a deep worry building under her eyes.
She said,
"I'm going on a business trip back to China in the meantime, and you'll be going home with Peter in the evening for about a week. I've already said hello to May. Also, be sure not to go out at night. ”
"What are you going back to?"
George was stunned for a moment.
Because their family has half Chinese blood, and all of them are paternal genes, so whether Sarah or cheap daddy, they talk about China instead of going out.
"Meet a few customers."
Sarah said.
George and Harry looked at each other.
They didn't believe Sarah was going to meet the client.
Major Stark Enterprises has no business in China at all, and what kind of business can Sarah talk about as a security executive?
Why, why not beat people up and force him to sign the agreement?
Presumably to Kama Taj?
Maybe Tony. How did Stark learn about the existence of such an organization, or did he go to a Taoist temple in a mountain?
After all, even people like Wonder Woman and Supergirl can come to this world, and Heavenly Master Feng Baobao doesn't make sense.
If it were them, it would indeed be regarded as a specialization in the arts, and ninety percent of them would have a way to restrain the aliens.
"Okay, let's go straight to Peter's house in the afternoon."
George agreed.
It just so happened that he was going to find an opportunity to take Peter with him in the past two days to try to capture an alien to see how dangerous it was.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
If you really know what they are, you might be able to cut them into thin slices and send them to the research bench.
