Chapter 69: Moonstone

"Whoever cares about the mother of the moon, the father of the moon, the grandfather of the moon, hurry up! Where's Carla Sofin's slut? Clint scolded angrily, his white beard trembling.

Carla Sofin, the Moonstone of the Thunder Agents, killed the Falcon in front of Hawkeye on the day of Hero's Fall, and the energy emitted from her hands almost burned the poor falcon to charcoal.

Over the years, Clint had only collected rumors that she had lived in seclusion in Canada for a lifetime, and he never thought that Moonstone would use his psychology degree to find the wastelanders to believe in her and run a cult.

The tumor on the woman's head is a testament to the fact that the gem on the moonstone's chest can cause radiation damage to the wearer and those around her.

"You are not allowed to insult our goddess!" The tumor woman who was pointed at the gun suddenly went berserk, her eyes red and she wanted to pounce on Hawkeye.

But at the moment when she just moved, Bai Ye kicked her fiercely, and the huge impact caused her to be knocked more than five meters away, and she slammed into a big tree.

The woman let out a terrible scream, her body twisted in pain, and the tumor on her head burst and leaked brown pus, emitting a violent stench.

"It's disgusting, just as disgusting as your 'goddess'!" Spat on the ground, Hawkeye said in disgust.

"Ho... Ahem, ahem... Forbid... Ho... You're not allowed—" The woman tilted her mouth, gulping out a mouthful of dirty blood, but she was still trying her best to defend her mistress.

Bai Ye's face was expressionless.

The limit of his strength was enough to shatter the metal shell of the Doom robot, even if he had just collected a little force, ordinary people would not be able to withstand such an impact at all, and the woman was now afraid that her ribs had broken and inserted into her internal organs, and there was no way to live.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" He turned his head to look at Hawkeye, who was still sulking, and asked, the only valuable map on the female cultist had been stolen.

"No, I can't ask anything with such a madman."

Clint shook his head, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the arrows that were ready to fire pierced the cultist's head, and he turned and walked towards the car.

"Wait, don't get in the car." Looking at the map in his hand, Bai Ye raised his head and shouted, raising his hand and pointing to the tall trees next to him.

"According to the road map, the rest of the road can only be walked, and the gang has built their village in the middle of nowhere."

"I thought we were looking for Zemo?" The Punisher walked up to White Night with a large bag on his back, looked around at the surrounding forest and asked slowly.

Bai Ye put away the map and nodded: "That's true, but if nothing else, Moonstone has the coordinates of Zemo's X Weapon Factory in his hand." ”

Years ago, Moonstone launched an assassination attempt against Baron Zemo due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, and Zemo sent a programmed sentinel robot to eliminate her, only to be defeated by Moonstone.

The appearance of these sentry robots is similar to the original sentry robot developed by Bolívar Trask's dwarf in the twentieth century in X-Men: Days of Future Past, but they are much taller, seven or eight stories tall.

And the black box of this sentry robot often contains the coordinates of the origin point, which is where Zemo is located.

After listening to White Night's explanation, Frank nodded silently and followed him into the woods.

Perhaps given the limited level of intelligence of these cultists, every bend and junction was clearly marked on the map, and the group walked for less than an hour before they saw a faint village at the end of the dirt road.

But it's more appropriate to say it's not so much a village as a ruin.

Coming closer, the whole village could be seen through the cedars, dozens of wooden shacks and makeshift wooden walls dotted among the ruins, which should have been a nice town years ago.

"There's some movement inside." Clint pricked up his ears and said that what is lost is something that is gained, and that he feels that his hearing has been getting better lately.

But it's better to be able to see it.

Hearing this, several people quickly changed their route and went around to the side hillside, taking advantage of the terrain to see the scene inside the village.

In the middle of the village stands a wooden tower, the only tall building in this desolate place.

At the top of the wooden tower, there stood an old woman in a baggy straitjacket, the two words should not have been together, but they appeared on her body anyway, her face was full of wrinkles, and the tumor on her forehead was raised.

And most importantly... On her chest was a glowing oval gem, bound by layers of bandages, as if she was afraid that it would fall.

"Carla Sofin!" Clint gritted his teeth and drew an arrow, which hit the string but didn't shoot it immediately.

He wanted to see what this former Thunder Agent was up to.

Because in front of Moonstone, there was a man kneeling who was also covered with tumors, and his body was trembling, as if he was facing great pressure and fear.

Under the wooden tower, nearly 100 people with tumors are kneeling around the wooden tower.

No, Hawkeye frowned and looked closely, and the man didn't seem to be afraid, but because of extreme excitement.

Just as he was wondering, the sound of a loudspeaker placed in the middle of the village cleared his doubts.

The man's whole body trembled with excitement as he knew he was about to receive the reward of the Moonstone Village, an opportunity he had always dreamed of.

Only a very small number of people are able to receive the reward of the goddess, which is undoubtedly a special honor.

The old woman's eyes flashed with white light, and she slowly spoke, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth: "You are our prisoner, but you also have a chance to be pardoned." You will receive the light of my holy casting and truly become a member of our village. ”

The man's eyes were full of ecstasy and anticipation, and he stretched out a hand to reach out to the person in front of him, but retracted in awe: "Thank you, thank you!" I knew the tourists I killed for you deserve your favor! ”

"My mercy will help you find your true home in this hell on earth."

Moonstone smiled, her hands pressed against the tumor on the man's head, and a strong light erupted from her hands, illuminating the entire village.

The glow was accompanied by a scorching heat, distorting the air around it.

"Return... Attribution—"

With screams of joy, a scorching breath spreads, accompanied by a pungent burnt smell.

By the time the light faded, the man's body had been completely charred, leaving only a black skeleton that could barely be seen kneeling.

The old woman who put away the light jumped from the wooden tower and slowly landed on the ground, and the rest of the believers stretched out their swollen and frostbitten hands, praying to touch the residual warmth that had not yet dissipated.

"Cults are harmful."

Bai Ye shook his head and sighed, then patted the old archer beside him.

"Are there any explosive arrows? Give her a shot at the sparkling jewel in her chest. ”
