Chapter 475: 'Michael's Sword'
After telling the plan in its entirety, everyone took action and began to prepare for going abroad.
While everyone else was busy, Butcher came to Zhang Yu's side with a bag and a draft of beer, and after placing the food in the bag on the table, he opened a bottle of wine and put it in front of Zhang Yu.
"You know, you're making me more and more incomprehensible now." As he spoke, Butcher opened another bottle for himself and poured it into his mouth.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yu looked at the Chinese food on the table and picked up the chopsticks casually.
"Aren't you really some kind of mercenary or something, originally I thought you were just a fledgling newcomer, but now, I find that you are full of unknowns."
Butcher glanced at his teammates in the distance, and after making sure they couldn't hear him, he whispered to Zhang Yu.
"Your whole being is full of mysteries, and whenever I feel like I know you better, you always throw something new and break all my previous impressions of you."
"So, do you want to chase me or what?" Zhang Yu looked at Butcher with disdain.
"You know what I mean, we've been following your plan ever since I dragged you into the war with the Vought Group, and I must admit that it worked and went well, but because of that, the rest of the team has a lot of criticism about you."
"Are they complaining, or are you simply distrusting me?" Zhang Yu picked up the wine bottle.
"It depends on what you think." Butcher took the wine bottle and touched it with Zhang Yu, showing a meaningful smile.
Taking a sip, he continued. "I know you're great, but putting people in the ICU except for the countrymen is not just 'amazing', and I want to know why you're doing this."
"yes, why, I'm looking for a reason too."
Zhang Yu sighed lightly, his eyes were a little distracted.
To break the cycle here, simply killing those superheroes is far from possible.
Even if Zhang Yu slaughters the superpowers here like Deadpool, the end result may not necessarily be better, and even his actions may cause deeper pollution.
Therefore, in troubled times, heavy canons are used, and fierce medicine is heavy.
To solve the troubles in the black-robed picket universe, Zhang Yu must use a new method, embark on a new path, and completely break the darkness in the hearts of the people here.
"You don't care if those innocents live or die, do you?" Recalling what Zhang Yu said to MM before, Butcher smiled deeply.
"Don't you and don't care?" Zhang Yu said casually. "I know what you want, Butcher, I've been investigating your past since we first met, and I don't believe you either, just as you don't believe me."
Frowning slightly, Butcher had a feeling that he was being seen through by the other party, which made him very uncomfortable, but on the surface, Butcher did not show half of it.
"Listen to what you mean, you seem to know me very well, so you can tell me."
"Béjar."
Zhang Yu gently spit out a name.
Hearing this word, Butcher's hand holding the wine bottle trembled violently, he silently turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, and after a pause, he raised his head and took a sip of wine.
"Anything else."
"What else do you want to know, such as Béjat is not dead, she is being imprisoned by the Vought Group, and she also gave birth to a son to the motherland, and this is also one of the biggest hole cards of the Vought Group against the motherland."
Ten years ago, Butcher's wife Beja was defiled by the motherland and has not been heard from since, and Butcher and his sister-in-law once thought that Beja had been secretly executed.
And the occurrence of this incident is also the biggest reason that prompted Butcher to embark on the road of anti-hero.
For so many years, in addition to searching around for evidence of the crimes of Walter's superheroes, he is also investigating the whereabouts of his wife, and he has always believed that his wife is not dead.
Now, when Butcher heard the news that his wife was still alive from Zhang Yu's mouth, his heart was not calm for a moment.
However, Butcher was not a particularly emotional person, and after a moment of shock, he immediately calmed down and forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
"Are you sure?" Butcher's eyes were a little red, but not particularly noticeable in the dimly lit room.
"I'm pretty sure I can even tell you where Béjart is now." Speaking of this, Zhang Yu gently stretched out his fingers. "But."
After a pause, Zhang Yu continued.
"You should know how dangerous what we're going to do next, MM's fears are right, this operation will kill a lot of people, a lot of innocent people will die, are you sure you want to pull Béjart in at this time?"
Clenching his back molars, Butcher's cheeks moved, and he was silent for a long time before he slowly exhaled a cloudy breath.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Butcher knew that Zhang Yu was right, and this operation would be the biggest blow since the establishment of the Walter Group, and the more this was the case, the greater Walter's counterattack would be.
If he contacts Beijia at this time, then it is equivalent to taking the initiative to involve her in chaos, and at that time, he simply does not have enough strength to protect his wife's life.
You're right, since Bejat is under the control of the Walter Group, it means that she is safe now, and she must not be allowed to have any accidents at this time."
After a pause, Butcher thought of something again, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Yu.
"Wait, you just said that Bega gave birth to a son?"
"Uh-huh." Zhang Yu looked at Butcher, who was a little green on his head, and nodded slightly.
Poor Butcher, in the original book, he mistakenly dragged his wife into the war with Walter, so his son was mistakenly killed when he attacked the front line of the storm.
And after the death of his wife, Butcher inherited Béjart's last wish because of the love in his heart, and protected the child no matter what happened.
So, when it was clear that he could inflict heavy damage or even kill the motherland, because the soldier boy attacked his troublesome son, Butcher turned against the enemy and beat the soldier boy together with the motherland.
It's hard to evaluate this move.
So in order to avoid this kind of thing, Zhang Yu directly dispelled the possibility of this happening, as long as Bei Jia and his son were not involved, then there would be no such accident.
After all, the son of the motherland was prepared by the Walter group to target the motherland, and now Walter is not facing the judgment of the motherland uncontrolled, but the public people, and they have no reason to pull this child in.
"I can promise you that when this matter is over, I will send Bei Jia to you safely, and also give you a son." Zhang Yu said flatly. "But the point is, after this is over."
Silently paying attention to the change in Zhang Yu's expression, Butcher was silent for a long time, and then broke the silence.
"So back to the beginning, Raven, if you take us as your own, then I need to know your full plan, and not be called upon by you as a tool."
"You already know the plan, you rescue the soldier boy, and then he will complete his mission, the wall will fall and everyone will push it, and when the two generations of the most outstanding superheroes in history become opponents, the Vought Group will become the best battlefield."
Zhang Yu put away his smile and said calmly.
"The point of it all is not war, but division, and the result of trying to kill the Super Seven and destroy the Vought Group will only make them more united.
What we want to do is to divide the support of the masses for superheroes, and for so many years, the Walter Group has been hiding behind the ignorant crowd, which has given them the most powerful 'protective umbrella' in the world.
But now it's different, it's their years of business that have made the Soldier Boy hero name deeply imprinted in everyone's heart, and when the Soldier Boy raises the banner and retaliates against the Walter Group.
Guess who, behind whom the people will stand? ”
"Makes sense." Butcher thought about it, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
He now finally understands what the purpose of Zhang's move is, and the release of compound 5 and human experiment data will not only plunge the Walter Group into scandal and public opinion, but also cause a rift between the superhuman and Walter.
On the surface, this is a heavy blow they have against the Walter Group, but in fact, it has also invisibly separated the Walter Group from its superheroes.
There are countless superhumans similar to Starlight and the Deep, and almost all superpowers do not have a perfect childhood, and they live under the expectations of their parents and the path paved by the Walter Group from the beginning of their awakening ability.
Now that they know that the source of their superpowers is actually the conspiracy of the Walter Group, then when Walter is attacked by the people, they will naturally not stand up and speak for him.
At the same time, people's verbal and written criticism of the Walter Group will become more serious, and the appearance of the soldier boy will pour oil on the fire and push the situation in a more ambitious direction.
At that time, the contradiction will completely detonate, and all superpowers will be drawn into this war, and no one will be spared.
Thinking of this, Butcher finally understood Zhang Yu's thoughts, but he couldn't help but ask.
"In that case, why don't you go with us, it's probably not easy for us people to rescue the soldier boy."
"I know, so I've recruited some 'teammates' specifically for you."
Zhang Yu took out a mobile phone from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"This phone has only one number, the other party's name is Cindy, contact her when you are ready, and she will take someone with you to rescue the soldier boy."
"Superhuman?" Butcher didn't touch his phone for the first time.
"Superhuman." Zhang Yu nodded.
After pondering for a moment, Butcher nodded slightly, but still reached out and picked up the phone.
If it had been before, then he would never have had any contact with a superhuman, even if the two sides had a common goal.
Because Butcher hates all superpowers from the bottom of his heart, even Zhang Yu is no exception, but now, after being in contact with Zhang Yu for so long, Butcher has slowly seen it.
In other words, he himself understands that it is difficult for ordinary people to overthrow such a large force as the Walter Group, and sometimes, they must unite all the forces that can be united.
Of course, this kind of thinking does not mean that Butcher is very keen to cooperate with superpowers, that is, the person recommended to him by Zhang Yao, if it were someone else, Butcher would not agree so easily.
At the very least, Zhang Yao's help to him during this time, and the success of the plan against the Walter Group, made Butcher have some trust in Zhang Yao.
"I'll contact her."
Butcher silently took a sip of his wine, picked up a burger and took a bite.
"What about you, what are you going to do?"
"Me."
Hearing this question, Zhang Yu pursed his mouth and slowly spoke.
"I'm going to take advantage of this time to find my own 'Michael's Sword'."
