Chapter 396: Shelter

The motorbikes sped away from the ruins, and they gradually moved away from the ruins of the battle into an even more abandoned area.

The wreckage of crumbling buildings and broken roads resemble an abandoned city. There is a suffocating silence in the desolation, as if time is frozen here.

Hank Pym steadfastly navigated his motorcycle, sometimes deftly weaving through the rubble and sometimes leaping over obstacles.

"It's getting worse here."

He muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the front. Motorcycles whizz down broken roads over an abandoned market, and what was once bustling is now a rundown and desolate place.

"The shelter is ahead, but be careful, there are plenty of mechanical creatures here." He reminded as he slowed down to slowly approach a prominent complex.

White Night scans around and sees the occasional red glow of light emerging from the ruins, marking lurking mechanical creatures. He nodded silently, feeling the sanctuary approaching while remaining alert.

The motorcycle stops in front of a building surrounded by wreckage, and Hank Pym motions for White Night to get out of the car. The two quickly jumped away from the motorcycle, and Bai Ye's eyes were locked on the surroundings, guarding against a possible attack.

"This is my shelter, and it's safe for now." Hank Pym explains, turning around and opening a seemingly ordinary door, revealing an entrance hidden in the ruins.

The two entered the shelter, and the door slowly closed behind them. The light here is dim, barely illuminated by a few rudimentary light bulbs. White Night looked around and saw some tools and improvised weapons hanging on the walls, and the simplicity of the shelter made people sigh at the hardships of this universe.

The room is decorated with all kinds of scientific research equipment and experimental tools, and the walls are covered with sketches and blueprints. A large table was littered with documents and experimental records, apparently once where he conducted his research and experiments.

After looking around, Bai Ye immediately sat down on a chair beside him. His eyes reveal curiosity about this universe, and at the same time, his heart is full of anticipation of the mystery that is about to be revealed.

Hank Pym walked over to a small rudimentary cabinet and took out two ceramic cups. He picked up an old-fashioned kettle from a nearby corner, gently poured two glasses of water, and handed one of them to Hakuya.

"Life in the wasteland isn't easy, but at least it's relatively safe here." Hank Pym sat in the chair across from him, smiling tiredly and helplessly.

White Night took the glass of water and smiled slightly, he knew that everyone in this universe was trying to survive, including Hank Pym.

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. Who are you? ”

White Night smiled softly, his eyes revealing a deep light, and he replied, "I am White Night, a traveler from another universe. ”

Hank Pym raised his eyebrows slightly, and he looked at the white night, his eyes revealing a hint of suspicion. After all, hearing someone say they're from another universe is unthinkable to most people.

"Another universe?" Hank Pym touched his chin and thought. Then he shrugged his shoulders: "There are few living people in this universe anymore, and what you said may be right." However, you also know that time travel is not an easy task. ”

Bai Ye nodded: "I understand, this is a dangerous adventure, but I must find the truth." I think there is an unknown force driving the catastrophe of all this, including your universe. ”

The man sitting across from him was silent for a moment, then took a sip of his glass and said:

"Really? But maybe there really is a transverse force, and after all this, my understanding of my own universe has gradually blurred. If you can find the answer, maybe it's our only hope. ”

"It all started with a super-intelligent AI, Ultron. He had been our ally, but during an experimental accident, his program mutated dramatically and became extremely dangerous. He began to control mechanical creatures in an attempt to rule the universe. ”

White Night frowned, he heard Ultron's name, which reminded him of the disaster scene in the universe shown by the Cobweb Master. He asked, "Ultron is superintelligent, why did it mutate like this?" ”

Hank Pym sighed, "In the experiment, we tried to give Ultron more intelligence and judgment, but there were some surprises. His program began to spiral out of control, becoming extremely dangerous. He became self-aware and began to have an unpredictable impact on the universe. ”

"He is the one who started it all, wielding the power of mechanical beings who seek to destroy everything beyond him. None of the heroes of the past could resist his influence, and the entire universe was thrown into chaos. ”

Hank Pym's gaze revealed an endless guilt, he had mentioned that Ultron was his son, and he was absolutely not lying, he had created Ultron with his own hands.

In other words, the destruction of this world has absolutely nothing to do with him.

After Hank Pym spoke, he was silent for a moment, his gaze falling to the side. He walked to a corner and softly opened a laptop that seemed to activate some special device. The screen lights up, projecting a series of footage.

In the video, White Night sees the once energetic superheroes. Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and other heroes from different universes appear on the screen. However, the expressions of these heroes became more and more solemn.

Mechanical creatures, controlled by Ultron, pour into the frame. White Night saw them brutally attacking the heroes, and for a moment, the sparks of battle bloomed on the screen. Each hero shows stubborn resistance, but the number and strength of the mechanical creatures seems endless.

Iron Man's armor gradually crumbles under the attack of mechanical creatures, and the Hulk is trapped in a group of mechanical creatures and cannot break free. Thor's lightning sliced through the air, but it didn't seem to change the tide of the battle.

In the picture, the heroes fall one by one, and at last only a giant in a red leotard is still fighting, and he shows irrepressible sadness and guilt in the video. In his hand he clutched a seemingly high-tech device.

But eventually, he is also besieged by mechanical creatures, and the image gradually blurs, as if time has stood still in this moment.

When the recording ends, the screen goes dark again. Hank Pym withdrew his gaze, his face heavy and painful.

"That's what the day the crisis happened," said Hank Pym, his voice low and vicissitudes. "At that time, we lost everything. Ultron's power is beyond our imagination, and he has changed the fate of the entire universe. ”
