The spider car, which was transformed by the master craftsman Mason Cooper, was full of power, and in the frenzy of the old wolf pressing the accelerator all the way to the end, they almost drove out of this radiant desert at the speed of "flying close to the ground".

What's even more rare is that the clever design of the suspension system of the spider car is a structure that Mason has never seen before, and there is not too much bumpy feeling in off-road at such high speeds, which makes the ride experience excellent.

They arrived in San Francisco an hour earlier than the agreed time.

Unfortunately, the legendary California atmosphere has long been lost, and even the Golden Gate Bridge was razed to the ground in a nuclear war, which is a pity, and Mason plans to pass by to see the ancient legacy of the eternal American emperor.

"It was plowed over by more than 30 nuclear bombs that night, and 60 percent of the people died on the spot."

The spider car drove through the ruins, and the eagle eye, who was no longer angry, hugged the cloning device in his arms, and said in a regretful tone:

"I've heard that Venom, which went mad in the hellish ruins, ate the rest of the people, and then fought with Ghost Rider here. You can imagine the tragic situation at that time. ”

"Isn't that blood-tortured?"

Mason wondered:

"The venom that survived the high-temperature impact of the nuclear explosion is estimated to be half a life, and it is estimated that he will be burned to death by a fire when he fights against the Evil Ghost Rider."

"I just heard that I was on the East Coast at the time."

Hawkeye pursed his lips and said:

"It's all from my ex-wife."

"Mr. K, come over and let me kiss you, I want to kill you."

When the spider car drove into a leeward area at Barbara's signal, Mason just jumped out of the car when he heard the shouts of his crazy beauty, he turned around and opened his arms very skillfully, and Harley, who jumped over, also cooperated and threw himself into his arms.

She rubbed Mason's neck twice as comfortably as a kitten, and then noticed the two people getting off the spider cart, causing Harley to blink and say:

"Isn't this old Hautley? Who's the blind man here? ”

"Hawkeye."

Mason patted Hallie on the waist and told her to come down, and gestured to Barbara, who was standing guard in the small camp with a shotgun, and he introduced:

"The Avengers of this world, the first-hand witness of what happened, the down-and-out superhero, the friend who broke up with the old wolf, the protector of the unknown courier, the blind sniper who hit every shot, and the good partner of the resistance in Schrödinger's state."

"Ha, that's a terrible title."

Hallie giggled and followed Mason into the camp, where several multi-purpose tents that had been set up were glowing warmly, and the high-tech supplies didn't need a campfire to keep them warm.

"Barbara, do you have your prosthetic device on you?"

Mason asked, the bat girl nodded, and then glanced at the biological device that Hawkeye was holding, she understood, and while sending a signal to let the hidden drones around her enter cruise mode, she moved her hands and said:

"I'll prepare the surgical equipment for him, but it will take ten minutes of fine-tuning, and you can get the medicine for the postoperative recovery, right? Mason. ”

"Small."

With a wave of his finger, Barbara returned to her tent and began preparing for her eye transplant.

It sounds like a terrible operation, but for biotechnology in the 2077 era, this kind of "minor surgery" can be done with automatosis.

"I'll keep vigil."

The old wolf saw that Mason was genuinely helping his old friend, and he was a little reluctant to go, so he offered to keep a vigil so that the others could rest.

This proposal hit Hallie's heart, and she dragged Mason to the tent, apparently intending to make out a little, and Mason did not refuse the old wolf's kindness.

However, Harley was still very measured, she knew that it would be too crazy to play in the mission, so she only got some warmth from Mr. K, and stopped bothering Mason to continue to tinker with the manufacturing that seemed to never be finished.

She actually likes to sit and watch Mason pay her full attention.

She thinks Mr. K in this state is really attractive.

Hawkeye was placed in a special large tent, where Barbara injected him with anesthetic and began the operation on the eye transplant, which did not require human intervention, only a patient wait of thirty minutes.

Because there is no need to reconstruct a delicate prosthesis, the postoperative recovery of this surgery is also very fast, and with the drugs that Mason is making, it is estimated that in a maximum of twelve hours, Hawkeye will be able to regain his sight.

As for Logan.

He leaned against the spider cart and smoked cigarette after cigarette in silence, basking in some of the memories that were tumbling in his mind, and sometimes looked at Mason's tent, his eyes always filled with a sense of worry and indecision.

But seriously, this indecisive expression really shouldn't be on Wolverine.

"Buzz"

Just an hour after midnight, at the quietest hour of the day, a sudden noise woke up the old wolf, who had fallen into memory, and he jumped on the hood of the car in disbelief to look into the darkness in the distance.

The mutant's super night vision allowed him to capture the shadows of a dozen entanglements of flames coming from far from the ruins of the city, strange things leaving traces of fire on the road beneath the night, like a dirt scratched on the ground.

"! It's the Ghost Riders! ”

Logan jumped into the driver's seat, and his first instinct was to retreat.

But then he realized he couldn't run!

Hawkeye is still undergoing surgery, and it's going to be the end of his old buddy, and his family is still in Mason's weird box.

"Mason! Mason, take your stuff and get out! ”

The old wolf yelled a few times into the camp, and the startled Mason rushed out of the tent, followed by a dazed Harley.

However, then, the drone swarm, which maintains optical concealment, is activated, and under Barbara's control, it rapidly advances in the direction of the enemy's arrival.

Within minutes, the silence of the ruins was completely broken by the sound of violent explosions.

"The biomonitoring signals are all a group of ordinary people."

Barbara walked out of the tent, her left eye maintaining the scarlet of combat state, but her right eye was the blue of the reconnaissance posture, and she mobilized the information from the drone and reported to Mason:

"But the vehicle they are riding in is very special, its energy characteristics are close to a quarter of the Lizard Tank, and it seems to be some kind of energy vehicle."

"What kind of guy is that?"

Mason asked the wary old wolf:

"You just said it was the Ghost Riders?"

"Yes, a bunch of crazy people who worship the bikes of hell, you can understand it as the spiritual inheritance of the nasty biker gangsters in the wasteland."

Logan was relieved to see that Mason's assistant was so powerful, and a wave of bombardment blocked the Ghost Riders, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, explaining to Mason:

"Didn't Clint just tell you that Venom, who went crazy seventeen years ago, fought Ghost Rider here? I don't know who won or lost that battle, but Ghost Rider clearly left something here.

Southern California behind us is the territory of the Hulks, but from here all the way north to Pym Cross is the domain of the Ghost Riders.

I've heard that some bikers who escaped the nuclear bombing have found the mysterious 'relics', and they have learned some ghost rider tricks to turn their locomotives into hellish monsters.

Although they can't beat the Hulk Kids, the speed and mobility of these bastards are top-notch, like the wandering western horse bandits, which is hard to guard. ”

"Are there a lot of them?"

Mason asked, frowning.

The old wolf nodded and said:

"Many, the wasteland is full of chaotic lunatics who can't find anything to do, and if they can find a locomotive, they can join the Ghost Riders, and they are one of the most powerful organizations in the wasteland.

And the ruins of San Francisco are their 'holy city'.

We'd better get out of the way before they summon more 'Hell Knights'. ”

"Hell Knight? Cruel. ”

Harley rubbed her eyes and came to her senses, she was a little interested, and she was also very interested in these ghostly things, so she looked at her Mr. K.

Mason has little interest in dealing with wasteland hustlers, but he's interested in the so-called "stuff" that Ghost Rider left in the ruined city.

"Barbara, is there a problem holding the camp with the current firepower?"

Mason asks:

"Do you need me to keep Fenrir to help defend it?"

"No, I brought three Zeta octatons and ten Terrorist Mobile Mechs that can fight autonomously."

Barbara waved her hands, put her waist in a strong posture, and said:

"With their current firepower density, even the outermost Griffin drone defense line can't break through, don't worry, if you want to go on an adventure, go on an adventure, I'll take care of poor old Clint.

The wounds on his body weren't just his eyes.

I just did a full-body scan of him, and it's a conservative estimate that he needs to replace at least a third of his internal organs if he wants to restore his full strength. ”

"I know you're reliable, Barbara."

Mason gave a thumbs up and said:

"Grayson can marry you, it's really a blessing from the eighth generation."

"Hmph, that's it."

The bat girl snorted proudly, and waved her hand to let her stinky brother hurry up and get busy, she was still busy, and the process of collecting data and information from this wasteland was very difficult.

As an intelligence expert, she felt the need to step up a bit.

This would be rebooting the abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D. observation satellites in the planet's orbit, but even with the Level 10 agent ID card Mason provided from the old Green Goblin, it would not be an easy job.

It's not that the technology is not enough, but that those old satellites that have been unmaintained for more than ten years are too broken.

"You're going to the base camp of the Ghost Riders?"

The old wolf looked at Mason, who threw out a cute little blue motorcycle like magic, and Hallie, who jumped into the car and scolded the two loyal dogs who stayed in the camp to protect Barbara, and he said incomprehensibly:

"Why? We're safe, Mason, don't ask for trouble, you're in danger. ”

"The danger is always there, and it doesn't go away just because I don't go to it."

Mason sat on the airmobile and said to the old wolf as he inserted the key into the lock hole:

"You stay here, Logan, my girlfriend said that no one can help you if you don't release your heart, I'm interested in your hidden past, but if you don't want to talk, then we can change times.

Vanessa and your children are in my tent, go and stay with them, they are terrified. ”

With that, he twisted his handle and quickly disappeared into the ruins of the city to Harry's cheers. Logan's hands clasped the steering wheel, and a faint flame burned.

He couldn't sit idly by and watch Mason be in danger.

But he couldn't make up his mind to join the dispute again.

"Daddy!"

A call from Jimmy Hauntley rang out from the tent, and the young man, frightened by his unique experience, was relieved to see Logan, who quickly ran through the camp guarded by drones and rushed to the car to hug his father.

He said:

"That Mason was a badass, he kept me and my sister and mom in his magic suitcase, and a talking robot watching over us.

However, the food in his fridge was quite tasty, and my mother told us that it was all pre-war stuff.

She said Mason was a good guy who would help us, but I didn't believe it. ”

"He really has no ill will towards us, kid."

The old wolf sighed, turned back and waved to his wife and daughter by the tent, and then looked at his son beside him, and said:

"He's a mutant, just like you, just like me, in this world, he's worthy of our trust, he's our countryman"

At this point, old Logan suddenly stopped, and under the upward gaze of little Hautley, his father, who had been in the nest for more than ten years, stared at the unsettling night in front of him.

That solemn gesture was as if some important decision had been made, and he said:

"Go back to the tent! Jimmy, take care of your mom and sister. ”

"Dad? You."

The young man looked at his father, and the old wolf looked back into his eyes and said:

"Mason is our compatriot, I won't let my compatriot get hurt anymore, maybe that's what I have to do, go back! When necessary, use your claws to protect the people you have to protect. ”

"Hmm!"

The young man's heart trembled.

It was the first time his father had said such a thing to him, and he took a step back and watched the old wolf step on the accelerator and rush into the night, and for a moment his heart was mixed.

When his father was in his pocket, he hoped that his father would become a legendary hero.

But now that Daddy has finally rushed to the battlefield, his heart is full of worry and trepidation.

"It's painful, isn't it?"

Barbara's voice came from behind, and the Batgirl put her hand on little Hautley's shoulder, and she whispered:

"The feeling of pride and worry was so vivid in my childhood when my father left home at the sound of the siren at night, as if at some point, 'going out' became synonymous with danger in the minds of children.

What is your name? ”

"Jimmy."

Little Hautley looked at the unsettling darkness in front of him, and he said in a daze:

"My name is Jimmy Hudson Hauntley, and I'm Wolverine's son!"

——

Although the old wolf's farewell was very sad, in fact, he rushed over all the way without any danger.

The riders of the first wave of the Ghost Riders were all blown up by Barbara's drone, and the follow-up people were locked in the city by the pursuing drones before they could assemble, and a wave of battle royales had begun.

These riders are not difficult to deal with.

They're just crazy ordinary people, and without vehicles they wouldn't be any harder to deal with than the thugs.

As the spider car rushes to the scene of the explosion, Logan sees Mason crouching in front of a twisted motorcycle doing research, while his crazy cute little girlfriend is holding a baseball bat to help him keep an alert.

Mason frowned, wearing the finest protective gloves made by the fourth-level tailor, and pulled the broken locomotive in front of him.

There's not much to say about the thing itself, it's just the most ordinary hippie motorcycle, but it's in a very strange situation at this time, and there are strange flames burning on the twisted body, especially on the front and rear wheels.

This scene is very similar to the Ghost Rider's Hell Motorcycle, but to be honest, the gap between the two is literally heaven and earth.

Mason stared at the motorcycle in front of him, and the information label popped up:

Demonized locomotives

Vehicle Quality: Standard Items, Inferior Craftsmanship

Vehicle Traits: Weak Demonization, Energy Destruction, Shattering Mechanism

Vehicle Effects:

A locomotive enchanted with demonic fire is endowed with powers that do not belong to it, and when controlled by a rider, the vehicle can travel at twice the speed of sound and maintain stability, and can retaliate with flamethrows when attacked, and transmit demonic fire to chain-like weapons for attack.

Prompt!

The vehicle's demonic flame is a gift from an outsider, and needs to be replenished after consumption.

Maker: None

Item Description: Fan behavior should not rise to idols, otherwise we will hunt down and punish rumors across the world, cubs! Look us straight in the eye! --Lord Johnny Skull, Grand Master of the Ghost Knights

"This Flame"

Mason took off his protective gloves.

He reached out his finger to touch the burning flame, and Mason's finger reached into the fire as Harley watched in distress.

On the contrary, the demonic flames on the locomotive seemed to sense the attraction, and quickly gathered and passed to Mason's hands, as if this was Mason's original power.

"Demonic Flame Infusion Craftsman's Demonic Fire Manipulation Skill proficiency has been increased. Prompt! Look for more cognate flame injections to quickly improve your skills. ”

This line of instruction jumps into the character card in front of Mason's eyes, causing his eyes to shrink.

A lightning thought crossed his mind.

Ha!

Hide your head and tail and even hide your name for fear that others will know your identity, I think I finally know who you are
