Chapter 236: The Execution Is Approaching
The climate of the wasteland has entered the depths of winter, and the climate of the whole world has been unpredictable since the chaos in the world.
The original spring, summer, autumn and winter have long since fallen apart, and even the scholars who are most familiar with the history of the East are now unable to find the corresponding solar terms on this planet.
At this time, two-thirds of the territory of the Eagle Country has been covered with snow, and in some serious places, even entire houses have been flooded with heavy snow.
These days are undoubtedly hard and desperate, with little social activity other than huddling together in warm shelters, and all actions consume unnecessary calories during these days of hunger and cold.
Enough of this life has passed, but in the midst of this irresistible oppression, few people choose to understand themselves, because for most people here, they believe that the pain they suffer at this time will lead to salvation after death.
After all, humans are social animals, and this is especially true in extreme environments.
On snowy days, countless people gathered together in search of hope to live, piled up all the firewood and food they had prepared in their houses, and the family nestled neatly in front of the TV, watching old movies that they had watched for an unknown number of times.
Once a year, it's always been like this, and it's depressing, but that's life.
However, this year's cold winter has changed a little compared to previous years.
With less than two days to go until the day of Red Skull's execution, it will be a grand show for people around the world who live in dire conditions, as well as a rare pastime for those in the low.
They don't know who the Red Skull is, they only know that there is such an untouchable being, which controls the entire country like a god, and the minions of the Hydra are all over the world, and anyone who resists their existence will be hanged at the highway outside the city.
They don't know who the tortured person is, what Justice League, what time-traveler from another universe, they don't understand at all, they just know, oh, another guy who claims to be a 'superhero' is going to be unlucky.
In the wasteland, superheroes are a lowest-level class, no, it doesn't seem to even be a profession, and anyone who claims to be a superhero should be considered a mentally insane lunatic.
And now, there is a madman who wants to kill and annoys Red Skull, and he will pay the corresponding price for his actions.
The place of execution was New Babylon, formerly New York City.
This is a rich new town, and it is also a place that countless ordinary people dream of, these people who were born in the wilderness of the countryside have little knowledge, they only know one thing, that is, if they are brave, they can go to the big city and make a fortune.
But in fact, when countless pioneers embarked on the road to the big city, there were very few people who actually came back alive, and everyone knew that Neobabylon was a place that ate people and did not spit out bones, but there were still people who were willing to gamble with their lives.
Neo-Babylon was the first city to be developed vigorously after the Red Skulls took control of the Eagle Nation, and although for some reason, it did not live up to the Red Skull's expectations, but it was still the most prosperous trading city in the entire wasteland.
In order to welcome the arrival of the leader, and to better complete the execution, the soldiers of Hydra gathered in large numbers on the streets of the city, and they had to patrol the whole of Neo-Babylon and prepare for all precautions.
Red Skull took this execution very seriously, because it would be the closest he could get to touching another dimension.
If he can really fish out the so-called 'Justice League', then everything will change dramatically, and he, Red Skull, will not only become the king of this world, but he will also leave a strong mark on another unknown world!
"Your Excellency, the following people report that another group of merchants from cross-border trade has entered the territory of Neo-Babylon, and we cannot identify all of them, in case some rats get in, shall we close the transportation hub and block all highways?"
Tobias, pot-bellied, stood respectfully beside the red skull, and spoke earnestly to suggest. "After all, now that winter is coming, even if we suspend shipping and trade, we won't lose much."
"Suspension of trade?"
The Red Skull slowly turned its head, its eyes calmly looking at Tobias.
"Why am I doing this? What do you think I've been designing for so long, I'm just going to let those rats break in, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time building such a big platform? ”
"But." Hearing this, Tobias spoke with some difficulty. "But there are too many people who have mixed in, and now there are not only gangsters from all over the city, but even a large group of mercenaries, and most importantly, our people have also found traces of mutants."
"Mutants?" Red Skull couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard this word. "Mutant forbidden people. Emma Frost, the White Queen, has always been an idle woman, even after her marriage to Doom. ”
"Dr. Doom took the clues about the other world before us, and this time the mutants infiltrated, there is a good chance that there is also his shadow behind it." Tobias whispered.
"That's interesting."
The red skull smiled slightly, he stroked the Captain America uniform he was wearing, his palm brushing over the folds and battle damage marks on the suit, and his face became more and more treacherous.
"It's a special feeling to wear this to study state affairs, and the relics of the old enemy can stimulate the mind the most. Doom ah Doom.
I haven't gone to him for trouble, I didn't expect that this old boy would hit me with the idea first, it seems that this news about the other world really makes him unbearable, okay, the more lively the better, just take this opportunity to tell them who is the master of this world! ”
"Of course it's you, Your Excellency, there's no doubt about that." Tobias buried his head deeply.
"Thank you, Tobias, I noticed that you have very keen observation and reflexes." The Red Skull was very helpful to Tobias's words, and he smiled contentedly as he continued to ask.
"So, how are my most brilliant warriors, and the executioners, ready?"
"Ready, Your Excellency, do you want to call them in now, and let you give you a lecture?" Tobias asked.
The red skull turned his back and spoke.
"Please come in."
