Chapter 257: Jinhe's Zombie Empire (1)
In the silence of the ruined city, two figures were walking low, their steps light, but their eyes fixed on every detail around them.
Once bustling and bustling, the city is now a dead ruin. Abandoned buildings, dilapidated streets, unmanned vehicles, and traces of time are everywhere.
White Night and Magneto didn't hesitate for a moment, they walked forward in tacit understanding, aiming at an abandoned building not far away, where there was a faint sound, and there seemed to be life.
Although the meaning of 'life' may be a little different for New York City today.
The ruins of the city have a gloomy atmosphere, dust fills the air, and sunlight casts dappled light and shadow through the broken windows. The ruined walls and collapsed buildings are like witnesses to the wailing of the collapse of the city.
Suddenly, Bai Ye raised his hand to stop, his eyes locked on the ruined building in front of him. Magneto also stopped alertly and followed. Under the shadow of the ruins, they seemed to have discovered something unusual.
The two quietly approached, and through the cracked wall, they saw a small gathering point.
A supermarket that looks quite large, with a locked door, but a large hole in the glass window embedded in the wall, through which two zombies stand in front of a pile of broken shelves.
The two guys were pale, their skin was dry, their eyes were lifeless, and there was only a dull glow in their hollow eye sockets. The hair was thinning and unkempt, and a few had fallen out, revealing a pale skull.
However, what is striking is that they are still wearing old clothes, and it can be seen from the material and bright colors that they are not ordinary people.
"Ugh"
A zombie suddenly made a hoarse sound, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, his lips had disappeared, and there were still traces of blood hanging from the corners of his mouth.
He held up a bag of bread that had not yet expired, and his finger bones trembled as if they were dead wood, and handed the bread to the other zombie.
"Pile drivers and bulldozers? I wasn't surprised that these two minor characters were infected as zombies. Magneto, leaning over the side of the white night, whispered, while his silver eyebrows raised.
"It's natural, but if you listen closely, what they're saying has to do with what we're here for." Bai Ye made a 'shhh' gesture, and then continued to look at the two zombies in front of the store.
Bulldozer, formerly known as Henry Kemp, was once a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, but later committed an incident and spent some time in prison, and in the process of escaping, he was inadvertently shared by the saboteurs of the 'sabotage group' to which he belonged, and since then has various physical enhancement abilities.
Originally known as Brian Kaluski, the piledriver gained abilities in a similar way and results as a bulldozer.
Both of them belong to the former villain organization 'Sabotage Group', and now it seems that they should be giving gold and working after the end of the world in exchange for the 'food' they like to eat.
"Show me."
The bulldozer took the bread from the piledriver's hand, his eyes narrowed into a slit, trying to see the bread package in the dimness.
Although the pupil has lost its perception of light, he seems to be able to discern the shape of objects vaguely. He grabbed the bread and fiddled with the package with his stiff fingers.
"Well, where did you get that? Why didn't I find this thing before? “
The bulldozer asked in a hoarse, staccato voice, as if coming from a grave.
Hearing this, the piledriver swallowed his saliva twice, shook his head slightly, and responded, even though he no longer had physical needs:
"From that corner of the grocery store, you remember the boss saying that as long as you find food within the expiration date, there will be a reward, and you should be careful to look for it."
Although they were separated by a distance of dozens of meters, the whispers of the two zombie heroes in the silent street were extremely clear, and Magneto frowned again and again.
The communication between the two zombies was strange, and their language was full of dead silence and fragmentation, as if they were ghosts talking.
However, the purpose between them is clearly visible, they no longer have human desires and reason, and are merely mechanically performing some kind of task.
Top dog? What reward does their boss have to give these zombies to get them here?
The bulldozer finally nodded, seemingly satisfied with his companion's answer, and continued, "You're right, then hurry up, we still need to find more food and earn more rewards." “
"The food that jackals can make every day is limited, and if you go late, you won't be able to eat anything today even if you pull a cart of canned food and drinks!"
Hearing this, the piledriver nodded in fright, and then carefully placed the bread in a tattered plastic bag, and tightened the mouth of the bag with his stiff hand.
The things in this bag were much more valuable than gold to him at this time, and he couldn't find fresh meat to eat with gold.
Two zombies, holding their loot, clumsily walked towards the corner, the surrounding buildings were badly damaged, and the streets were full of wreckage and weeds.
Bai Ye took Magneto to follow the two zombies silently, and at the same time took out two virus antidotes from his pocket and handed them over, "Here, wait and so on, it may be useful, if you are bitten, be sure to inject the antidote as soon as possible!" ”
"If I'm right, these two guys are on their way to find gold and claim their reward, and there are some things I need to go over and make sure."
In his memory, Jin He should have been busy asking genetic scientist 'Jackal' to clone all kinds of people for lunch, and at the same time sending the infected vampire Morbius to spy in the 616 universe.
Now, he can eliminate them to stop the infection and see if he can get in touch with the main universe from this operation.
The silver-haired old man in a purple helmet behind him nodded, took the yellow potion and carefully put it away.
Finally, the two zombies walked around the corner, and an abandoned subway station came into view, the platform was full of weeds and dust, and several gnawed clean skeletons were piled up, but for some reason it looked wet, as if it had just been licked by something.
Pile drivers and bulldozers walked into the subway station step by step and disappeared into it.
After waiting for a few minutes, the two walked on the same path that the two zombies had taken.
It was pitch black inside the subway station, with only a faint light shining through the cracks, illuminating the dirty walls. White Night and Magneto walked cautiously, trying not to make a sound so as not to attract unwanted attention.
Eventually, they made their way to the platform of the subway station, which was even darker, and the silence around them was only broken by the sound of dripping water in the distance. The tracks of the metro station were deserted, only silence and darkness.
And in the air, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
