Ever since learning telepathy, Rojo has subconsciously read the mind of a new friend to see if there is a threat.

Telepathy is the most useful ability in human society, after all, the human heart is separated from the belly, but until after meeting Eugene, everything seems to start to be a little wrong.

In fact, to be precise, he only found out tonight.

In the past week or so, Eugene has always spoken encouraging words, and the people in the base are very convinced of him, never questioning his decisions and plans, of course, judging from the mutants who successfully rescued the laboratory, he is brave and resourceful, and is a qualified planner.

However, Rojo found that Eugene's mind was complicated, and sometimes the emotions he unintentionally revealed contradicted his statement, and he seemed to think that the item was more important than the lives of the members. This kind of emotion is completely contrary to his inner thoughts and what he has always said, his previous inner thoughts have always been people-oriented, otherwise he would not have rescued the mutants in the laboratory.

But inner thoughts don't deceive, let alone emotions.

In fact, what puzzled Rojo the most was that thoughts and emotions were linked, but this was different in Eugene, either Eugene's emotions were out of control for a while, or one of them may be fake, which made Rojo plan to take advantage of the gap to leave the tavern and follow Eugene, wanting to find some clues to prove the guess in his heart, but the situation was different from what he imagined.

Eugene really just went to the next block, picked up a piece of mail, opened it in front of a few people, and then bought a few bottles of wine on his way back to Hell's Kitchen, and he didn't do anything else.

In vain, Rojo pondered in his heart, so he could only go back to the tavern and have two drinks with Marcos John, and then find an excuse to go back to the base. But after tonight's mission, he has a new perspective on Eugene.

Early the next morning, breakfast was served in the central open space as usual, there were no tables or chairs, some people would take it back to their tents, while others would sit directly on the ground, eating and chatting in a circle.

Rojo also ate a simple loaf of bread, and the dullness of the basement in the morning made him have no appetite, but most of them ate it with relish, and they had long been forced to get used to it.

Rojo's gaze stayed on the crowd for a few seconds, and soon noticed Eugene, he was making a phone call at the gate of the base, judging from his face, this call made Eugene feel very bad, he just shook his head and hung up the phone, his eyes were a little heavy.

Rojo took a cup of hot coffee and walked over to him and handed it to him, "Your friend called?" ”

"Well, I wanted him to give him another chance, obviously I overestimated the affection between us, and he didn't agree."

Eugene adjusted his expression, took a sip of coffee, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I'll take care of these things." ”

Lorna walked over with Sonia, and she said, "Rojo, are you free later, we're going to go shopping, John doesn't have time, can you be our driver?" ”

"This."

Rojo was about to answer, when Eugene, who was next to him, patted him on the shoulder, "You go with them, I ordered a new generator from a shop on the north side, it's very heavy, and it would be a little ungentlemanly to let the two ladies go." ”

"Looks like I'm going to have to go."

Rojo reluctantly agreed, except for John and Marcos, and a few other people in the base, no one else could get out of the underground base, mainly because of their appearance and psychological problems, which made them reluctant to step into the outside world again.

This time, as before, there was a list of daily necessities and food, as well as a list of medicines, one person was responsible for one, and in addition to going to the street on the north side to retrieve the generator that Eugene had ordered.

Now that the weather is getting colder, the base needs more electricity support, and it needs to be heated at night, otherwise the cold basement is like an ice cellar, making it difficult to sleep.

Due to the fact that there was a bit of a lot of purchases this time, Rojo chose to drive a pickup truck, but the car had just driven out of Hell's Kitchen, and before it had gone far, the pickup truck stalled at an intersection.

And no matter how much you try to start the fire, you can't start it.

"We were a little unlucky, the car seemed to break down."

Rojo repeated a few twists of the key, but to no avail.

Lorna frowned, looked at the dashboard, the oil was full, and she helplessly pointed to the metal silhouette, "Really can't start?" Or I'll try to manipulate it magnetically, and if I don't go uphill, I can get it moving. ”

"Your abilities are too ostentatious, so forget it."

Rojo got out of the car, opened the hood and checked it, and soon found that the battery was dead, no wonder it couldn't be ignited.

Sonia leaned against the telephone pole and said, "I remember that there was a spare battery at the base, which Marcos took from some cars when he was doing his old job, and he said that it would be used one day, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be used now." ”

"Push the car to the side of the road first, and I'll go back and get the battery."

Rojo has no other way now, but fortunately it's not far out of Hell's Kitchen, and it's better to run back and get it than to buy a new one.

Sonia didn't want to walk, so she stayed in the car and waited, while Lorna and Rojo went back to get the battery, but her purpose was not pure, she wanted to buy ice cream on the road to eat, and in the late autumn in New York, she ate happily, and her lips were bright red with ice.

"You seem to like eating this brand very much."

Rojo noticed that the ice cream was the same brand they had eaten together last time.

"Because it's delicious."

Lorna took a bite of the cold ice cream and chewed it.

This scene undoubtedly made Rojo tremble, and his teeth were inexplicably uncomfortable, "I kind of regret buying it for you." ”

"Why do you want to eat it too, do you want to have a bite? I haven't bitten the bottom half, so I can divide you in half. ”

Lorna brought ice cream to him.

"No need."

Luo Huo shook his head, looked at the street in front of him, was stunned, and said, "Go further, will you go to the warehouse?" ”

"yes, I didn't remember it after walking so many times?"

Lorna looked at him quizzically.

"It's that car that's a little familiar."

Rojo stared at the car on the street, the exhaust pipe was still steaming, it looked like it had just stopped, he looked at the familiar body, "This is a S.H.I.E.L.D. car"

"What?"

As Lorna asked, she was pulled by the boy towards the warehouse, and soon the two came to the front of the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse was open.

Rojo walked in and saw a woman with short black hair and blue eyes, a cold face, wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent uniform, tight black leather jacket and pants, showing her curves and muscles, holding a file in her hand, staring coldly at Eugene, as if interrogating him about something.

She said in a cold voice: "Eugene Phil, you used to be a member of the Marine Corps, participated in modern warfare, and received honors, General Ross has a very high opinion of you, he thinks that you are a military genius, you should have a bright future, but unfortunately, you were later detected with the X gene in your body and were forced to retire...."

This woman is Agent Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D.
