It was May 12th, and the "Quick Rescue Panda Team" had already assembled.

As he drove towards Rusttown, Ryan hoped the fight would be better than Vulcan's fateful attack on the Superpowers. The Time Traveler summoned everyone he could find, provided all the necessary information, and he wore a cashmere suit. Everyone was quickly in place, including the shorty.

What is done cannot be undone.

Atom remained silent in the front seat of the car, fitting his costume with a dart belt. There's a reason Ryan thinks knives are classics, but the thought of someone being defeated by an exploding dart keeps him entertained. Panda and the wardrobe stay behind, the former singing in a low voice, the latter examining Ryan with her big beautiful eyes.

"Yuki, I know you designed my new mask," Ryan said, "but it's kind of creepy. ”

"You went on a date yesterday," Wardrobe said with a smile. "I can feel it."

Does she have a gossip radar or something? But then again, Ryan was late and suspicious when he returned to his penthouse.

In the end, the "ten-minute visit" lasted half an hour. The lucky girl has incredible taste in interior decoration and sculpture, so much so that the courier will introduce her to the wardrobe. He had a feeling that they would get along very well. However, as much as Ryan enjoyed the "date", his grand plan failed completely. Lucky Girl just sent him a message saying she "allowed" him to invite her again.

"No big deal, Yuki," said the courier, "so I'm still open to new love applications." ”

"I'm sorry, I really like you, Ryan, but I've already signed an exclusive contract with someone else."

"Really? Congratulations! The time traveler replied with a warm smile. "That's great!"

"Thank you, she's very nice, you're going to like her," Yuki said with a smile. "But we're talking about your love life. Is she in the million-level? Is it Ryan?"

"I don't care about your endless speculation and watch you burrow into the rabbit nest—" The wardrobe costume immediately turned into a Sherlock Holmes roleplay, including a hat and a pipe. "Hey, it's cheating!"

"Hmm......" Wardrobe observed Ryan, making mental inferences. If I had to guess carefully...... I'd say it's Fortuna, the sister of the atomic cat, and it's just a pure kiss. ”

Atomic Cat emerges from its silent fantasy and looks at Ryan in disbelief. "What? He asked.

"You're amazing, Yuki." Panda congratulates the wardrobe. "How do you know?"

"It's simple, my dear panda!"

"Did you know that Sherlock Holmes never said this in Conan Doyle's novels?" Ryan complained, but the wardrobe ignored him.

"We knew she had been pestering him for a date, and judging by the look on his face, he clearly thought it was a chore before he was pleasantly surprised," explains Yuki, whose demeanor mimics the most famous film adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. So, out of a sense of duty, he accepted, perhaps hoping to subtly dissuade her. His hairstyle is also very neat, and the smell on his body has not changed. Therefore, we can assume that there is no physical intimacy. ”

"I hate the yellow genome," Ryan said, glaring angrily, ignoring the vicious gaze of the atomic cat. "I hate them so much. Also, why didn't you use this costume before? You could have cracked the whole conspiracy in a matter of minutes!"

"I don't like this outfit," Wardrobe replied, and then changed back to his usual clothes. "If I wear it for too long, I develop a craving for hands, tobacco and violin. It's not good for my health. ”

"Ryan, I warned you." Felix said angrily. "I ask you man to man, friend to friend."

The courier looks his second favorite cat in the eye and decides to tease it a little more. "I just want us to be a family, kitten." The courier whispered. "Is that too much to ask?"

Instead of blushing as Ryan had hoped, Felix replied with a devilish smile. "Ryan, your adopted daughter," he said in the same teasing tone as the courier, "she's single, isn't she?"

When Felix fought back, he hit hard!" I saw that the kitten was young, but he had claws. ”

"I'm just saying that we can be a family, Quickie. But if you ask for it, you must also give it back. ”

"Great!" The wardrobe says that the twisted joy is found in this scene. "You marry each other's sisters, and then your kids will have a teenage relationship!" I can see the drama!"

Ryan looked back at the road. "Kitten, you've discovered my only weakness. You are a troll worthy of respect. ”

"Thank you, drive now," Felix replied. "If the superpowered doesn't beat you up today, I'll do it myself"

"Oh, are we going to Rusttown?" Wardrobe asked with a frown. "I had a feeling that we would go there, but Enrique refused to tell us until we arrived."

"I think now that the secret has been leaked, we can check our intel on it," Ryan said, and Felix rolled his eyes. This reminds the Courier that he should infiltrate Jessamine's foundry and rescue Yugeney Henry after the raid is over.

Felix pulled out his phone, which contained the recording files.

"Adam Fontaine, alias Ogre Adam, alias Brooklyn Ogre," Atomic Cat reads the report as he shows his wardrobe and panda pictures of Hannifat Lecter. "The U.S. issued an international arrest warrant after he was suspected of murdering four people in Brooklyn, but he fled to Europe on the eve of the genomic war."

"Wait, he was a cannibal serial killer before he got the elixir?" Ryan asked. Every time he thought Hannifat wasn't going to get worse, he was proven wrong.

"Yes, Adam was a madman long before he became a madman. Orange/purple. He can turn his skin into a highly tolerant carbon alloy, giving him enhanced strength and tank-like elasticity; In addition, its stomach becomes a pocket that can hold almost anything. Felix paused. Well, his strength is about the same as that of his father, only much weaker. ”

"Mars has an armory, right?" Wardrobe asked. "I really like his God of War costume. Very elegant. ”

"Unlike Adam, he has a large vocal range." Felix said in a gruff voice, then quickly changed the subject. This time, he read them the report of Adam's bodyguard. "Frank the Maniac, unidentified. Suffering from delusions of schizophrenia, he considers himself a World War II commando, a Vietnam veteran, an American agent, and a Super Soldier in Area 51 experiment. However, his testimony contradicts real events, and if his testimony does not match, he becomes aggressive. Orange/red, his body is made of metal and can be consumed more to increase in size; It also absorbs kinetic energy. ”

Ryan frowned. "He's only going to eat metal?" Isn't it stone or ivory?"

"Only metal." Felix replied, confused by the question. "Why?"

Because of the reaction of Frank's power to Augustus.

Ryan hears rumors that Augustus' body is in a temporary state of stagnation, which sounds believable as he can act during the Courier's frozen hours. However, this way he will not grow old and the tumor will not threaten his life. As for the other possible colors, if Augustus is all white genomes, then his invulnerability should react differently to strength and normal attacks. But that's not the case.

The messenger remembered the end of his disastrous journey to Augustus. Both the madmen Frank and Augustus briefly fought, and the psychopath's forces reacted automatically. It tried to absorb the lightning butt but failed.

Frank's power works, which means that Augustus' body is made of some kind of metal, even though this metal cannot be easily consumed by psychopaths. This precludes the spatial stagnation hypothesis. But how does it explain immunity to the cessation of time, and all of it? Maybe Lightning Ass ate the yellow elixir and turned him into a Roman metal god?

Yellow or orange, Ryan thought. The courier feels like he has all the pieces of the puzzle in his hands, but he needs to put them together the right way.

After that, he barely listened to their conversation, but to his amusement, he learned that Psyshock's real name was F

a

cis G

ey。 The group passed through private security checkpoints without incident; Either they were the first heroes to arrive on the scene, or several patrols were warned to let them pass.

Instead of driving directly to the dump, Ryan drove to the northern part of Rusty Town and its industrial area. The plan calls for Dinas to surround the Powers from all sides, and he understands Sepsi and must have mistaken the Courier's prank for him. It is better to lure the madman to an uninhabited place.

"The raid should start in 30 minutes." Atomic Cat said as he watched the time. As they drove, Rusttown was eerily silent, and tension hung in the air. Either Psyshock has brainwashed the locals, or they have realized that the battle is about to begin and they are staying at home. When the sun rises over the sky, the old neon signs flicker dangerously.

No, Ryan realized, it was the sun. Leo Hargraves flew through the sky like a missile, aiming directly at the garbage dump at the speed of a fighter jet.

By that time, the courier had arrived at an abandoned gas station in the north of the region, a large area of concrete covered in grease stains. The place looks like a cemetery, facing a series of abandoned projects and crumbling industrial buildings. A figure stood on the roof, pointing at the Plymouth Fury.

Salim.

A second after Ryan noticed her, she unleashed a concussive air stream directly into the car. "It's time, kids!" The driver, whistling, made a sharp turn to avoid Miss Chernobyl's explosion. The attack hit the concrete pavement, blowing it to smithereens, while Ryan kept his car moving.

Almost at the same time, a group of custom-made Dy

AMIS drones broke into the building's gates, where they were already waiting for the group.

"Panda!" Ryan shouted, his team ready to fight. "Let them see your training!"

"Yes, master!" The young apprentice opened the door and jumped out of the car, completely deformed before hitting the road. He takes on the drone like a beast, while Sarin bombs the car non-stop from her sniper point.

By now, Hargraves had hit the junkyard like a cruise missile, but he was only a pioneer. A group of helicopters flew over the town of Rust from the west, led by Alphonse Manada's own car. Wyve

、Devil

Y and other pilots followed.

The superpowers' reactions are swift and brutal. Missiles rushed out of the dump and destroyed a number of helicopters; Probably a mechanic of Psyshock. Immediately afterward, the tremor shook the entire Rust Town, which then turned into a full-blown earthquake. The most vulnerable building collapsed under pressure, forcing Sarin to fly away from her current position. Acidic clouds spread across the sky and threaten to engulf the entire region.

The battle for Rust Town began.

Now that he doesn't have to dodge the explosion of sarin, Ryan suddenly stops his car near the gas station. He and his remaining teammates quickly walked out, and the smell of gasoline filled the place. With the whistle of the messenger, Plymouth Fu

Y's autopilot took over and drove it to a safe place.

"Now," Ryan said, pulling his reel and pistol out of his suit and waving one in each hand, "who's going first?"

"Me, me!" The clothes of the wardrobe are transformed into role-playing of Frankenstein monsters. Lightning traveled through her body, causing her to move at breakneck speed. She from Dy

The AMIS drone burst out of the artillery fire and smashed it into a paste with his bare hands.

Not so happy, the Atom Cat grabbed a dart and threw it at Sharin. The "Hazmat Girl" blows them up in the middle of the flight, causing the projectile to explode violently, throwing her back onto a crumbling building. Ryan opened fire on her, trying to make a few holes in her clothes.

However, when acid rain falls from the sky, Ryan realizes that he has his own date.

A feeling of dread ran down his spine as he pointed his reel gun behind him and pulled the trigger. The acid rain had teleported behind him, knife in hand, but he had to dodge the messenger's own shells. The coil gun's bullet grazed her cheek, nearly hitting her in the head, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.

"You thief! She roared in anger and raised her weapon menacingly. "You're blocking the door!"

"When we meet, you always want to stab me in the back," Ryan laughed at her, who was almost used to it. "You don't have to be so shy!"

"I'm going to disembowel you!" The acid rain roared, and a knife was aimed at his head, with terrible precision. While the courier dodges, the atomic cat tries to grab the psychopath and blow her to ashes, but before he can close the gap, she is quickly teleported away.

Sarin jumps from her observation point and lands in the street, opening fire on Ryan and the Atomic Cat. The courier quickly stopped the time, grabbed his kittens, and moved them out of the way. The explosion of the hazmat girl hits the gas station, detonating the remaining gasoline in the gas station, causing a violent explosion. The explosion throws Ryan and the Atomic Cat to the ground, while Panda and Wardrobe are too busy dealing with the drone to help them.

Shalin prepares to fire another explosion, but is beheaded by an invisible sword. Her hazmat suit collapsed as the rusty gas spilled out, forming a glass shield on the heroes' heads, protecting them from acid rain. This gave Ryan and Felix precious time to get back on their feet.

"We have to kill Acid Rain," Sh when he appeared next to Ryan

OUD warns that acid rain has turned him visible. Soon, the rain will turn into a downpour. "Her power will kill thousands of people—"

"Stay!" When Ryan felt the power of the acid rain being activated, he warned loudly.

The psycho teleported back, with two handles in his hands. She fired a shot at the Shroud and his companions, and the members of the carnival erected multiple layers of glass to protect them.

"Open the door, you thief!" Acid rain roared, her cannonballs unable to force their way through the barrier. "You don't want me to get out of that place!"

When she runs out of bullets, the Shroud turns his defenses into deadly splinters, while Ryan assists him with bullets and Atomcat assists him with explosive darts. Acid Rain threw away the machine gun and teleported before any shells hit her. The more he observed her lightning-fast speed, the more convinced Ryan was that her teleportation ability came with increased spatial awareness; In the same way, his own power provides an enhanced sense of time.

The explosion shakes Rusttown, and Ryan notices the red light coming from the junkyard. The madman Frank catches his eye, now the size of a ten-meter-tall giant, smashing a deformed wyvern through buildings that haven't collapsed since the earthquake.

Kaiju Fight!

If it weren't for the fact that his entire team's lives were in danger, Ryan would be happy. His spine shuddered as he felt the acid rain teleport around them at a blinding speed. In the blink of an eye, the Shroud, Ryan, and the Atomic Cat find themselves surrounded by falling grenades.

Shit!

Rya

Freeze time to save his allies, grab as many grenades as you can, throw them before they explode. But ten seconds was too little, and when he could save Felix and himself from the worst of the bombardment, two grenades exploded right next to the Shroud. The explosion blew out the glass operator's right arm, shattering his armor and throwing him to the ground.

Soon, his grip on the glass shards was shaken, and the windshields of the heroes turned to dust. Ryan felt the acid rain eating away at his cashmere suit, much to his chagrin.

To make matters worse, Acid Rain took advantage of the cooldown to appear in front of Felix and suddenly stabbed him in the chest with two knives. The young man fell to the ground with two knives stuck in his body.

Although he thought he was numb to these things, Ryan panicked. "Felix! Marthias!"

"I'll go!" Wardrobe "got out of her fight with the drones, leaving the pandas to deal with them, rushing to the wounded."

"That's right!" Ryan shouted a warning, and acid rain teleported to the closet, gun in hand. Luckily, before the Teleporter could press the trigger, Yuki's costume turned into a ghost sheet, and the bullet slashed through her head without causing damage.

He'd have to distract that bastard. "I'm the one you want, blonde!" Ryan challenges the acid rain, though she instantly moves out of his bullet path. "I'm going to the Purple World and trap you here!"

The taunt worked, and Acid Rain appeared in front of him again, firing with her gun. "You selfish little bastard, do you think you can keep it all to yourself?"

Rya

Freeze time to dodge, and then play a cannon fire version of a game of whack-a-mole with Psycho. The panda smashed the last drone with its bare paws, and the closet changed into a nurse's clothes and dragged the wounded away from the battlefield.

She ran too fast, Ryan thought, and he frantically tried to hit the acid rain, but failed every time. Unlike the Lightning butt, his projectile cannot change direction in flight. He could have hugged the missile with Pauly's face, but he decided not to. Such a weapon is "safe" when the Courier is alone against Meta, but what about with teammates? The risk of psychopaths deliberately directing shells to allies is too great to ignore.

This could have been a miscalculation.

Thank goodness the "acid rain" ran out of projectiles before him. In the blink of an eye, she vanished and reappeared to his left, nearly severing Ryan's head with a katana.

"The Supreme favors me!" She roared, forcing the Courier back to avoid a strike. She doesn't give him any time to aim, or even give him a joke. "It wants me to win!"

"Master, I'm here!" The panda raises its paws and tries to outflank the acid rain from the side and save his master. "Panda rolls!"

Acid Rain dodged the attack with inhuman speed, raised her sword, and chopped off the slow animal's head. Realizing the danger, Ryan abruptly stops time, forcing her to disappear, but the second time she continues, the psychotic unexpectedly removes the panda's entrails and spills his intestines all over the floor.

However, this gave Ryan a short window of time to aim, and he managed to hit Acid Rain in the abdomen with his hand. The mentally ill disappeared before he could collapse, but there were still some drops of blood left.

"Master......" Panda gasped, one hand on his stomach, and his poop was scattered all over the ground.

"Young apprentice!" Unfortunately, before he reaches the panda, Acid Rain teleports above Ryan and hits him in the head with a steel pipe. The courier's world blurred for a moment, and he lowered his gun, only to be shot in the chest before he could breathe again.

"Once you're dead, I can go back!" Acid rain began to hit him with two steel pipes, one in each hand. She has neither style nor technique; She doesn't need them. She is pure savagery and speed. Even Ryan's sense of rhythm was getting stronger, and he was having a hard time keeping up, and the acid rain had begun to scorch the skin underneath his costume. "I can go back all the time!" Do you think you can keep my family away from me? You're going to kill me!"

While the Courier can't match her speed and strength, his skill pales her to the pale.

Ryan slammed his punching moves hard into the stomach of the acid rain, right where he was hit by the bullet. The psychopath lets out a scream of pain, but the courier continues to slam her weak spot, blood staining her white shirt red. She lost her breath and dropped a steel pipe on the ground.

"Master!"

Acid Rain looked to her left, and the panda was on her flank. He had turned back into a human, which, as Dr. Terranor had guessed, had completely healed him.

The panda pounces on the distraught acid rain and raises its fist, transforming during the attack. Instead of a human fist, the psychopath hit the chest with a bear's paw, breaking several ribs and emitting disgusting cracks. The blow threw her backwards like a rag doll, but she teleported before hitting the sidewalk.

Ryan felt her teleport over the Panda again, a knife in her hand. She fell to the beast like a guillotine, but before she could hit him, the Courier grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground in a judo move.

She teleported again, trying to stab Ryan from the left. This time, due to her wounds, he slowed down, managed to dodge the acid rain stab, and punched her in the face.

"The more I get into a situation, the better I become. And now......" Ryan grabbed the steel pipe on the ground. "I've got your rope, Rain Maiden."

Ryan proved his word with his actions, and he punched her in the face, knocking her teeth away. The madman took a few steps back, and the panda and his master flanked her from both sides.

"Ah...... Ah......h Blood was pouring from her chest and mouth, and her wounds were taking a toll on her. "I ...... Send me to...... Send me to ......"

She raised a grenade to the heroes.

"Send me!" Psycho roared, threatening to detonate the bomb. "Send me there, you a-"

Prosperity.

Before Ryan could react, acid rain fell to the side, blood pouring from the back of her head. Behind her appeared a figure with a rifle in his hand.

"Oh my God, poor old Mortimer thought she would never stop teleporting," Mortimer said as he loaded his rifle. "Are you alright, kid?"

"Master, who is this guy?" Panda asked, a little shocked by the sudden appearance of the assassin. He ...... He looks like a supervillain. ”

"Because he's a man," Ryan said, glancing down at the body of the acid rain. Considering that the rain began to stop, she would not be able to stand up again. "You should stop doing this, it's almost annoying."

"Miss Death has no master, corporal; Mortimer replied with a shrug. "Anyway, you should look at your friends. I think your nurse dragged them behind a pile of concrete. ”

"Just to make sure, you're not going to fight us, are you?" Ryan asked. Due to the public appearance of the sun, the messenger fears that Augustus has sent the Seven Killers to attack the carnival and everyone present. But then again, the assassin couldn't help.

"What? No, if poor old Mortimer had done that, Fortuna would have cried like a baby. By the way, I respect that you haven't strangled her yet. I admire your self-control. ”

"Then why are you here, my killer friend?"

Mortimer snorted, and collapsed onto the pavement. "Hello Miss Livia."
