098: Eugene's death
On the desert filled with wind and sand, three figures were isolated in the vast sea of sand, and the air shone with a strange white light. The sun is scorching, and the grains of sand are raised in the wind, creating a blurry and scorching picture.
Right here in Eugene. While Phil was pondering, Rojo, who was standing opposite, had already raised his palm flickering with a white light, which contained a deeply familiar aura.
The white light intensified, and soon enveloped it, and the moment Eugene was illuminated by the light, the first thought in his mind was to turn around and escape.
Because he is more familiar with this white light than anyone else, it is obviously derived from incineration, which is his own mutant ability.
However, the person who uses the incineration white light now is not himself, but the young man standing opposite, not only that, but the white light released by the young man seems to contain a stronger power, making his heart subconsciously constrict, and he can feel that the incineration ability mastered by the young man is far above himself!
"Damn it!"
Eugene's legs almost immediately reacted backwards, and now he didn't have the heart to care about what was going on with Rojo and why he had so many abilities.
Now he can only escape from here faster.
However, before he could turn around, his originally flexible body instantly became stiff, and the bones and joints on his body, shrouded in white light, seemed to be wrapped in a layer of glue, making his movements slow, and as the glue solidified, his body was completely restrained and frozen in place.
"Rojo?"
Logan. Howlett stood behind the boy and looked at Eugene in front of him with a white light, and immediately realized what the boy had done.
This is incineration white light!
He thought back to Rojo's performance just now, and even if he was slow to react, he gradually came back to his senses.
Isn't every ability that the boy used before come from everyone around him, the self-healing ability when he is shrouded in incinerated white light, that is his own self-healing factor, no wonder it always feels familiar.
Teleportation, on the other hand, is Clarice's spatial distortion and folding, which she demonstrated in her professor's class.
Logan. The more Howlett thought about it, the more intense his pupils fluttered, as an old guy who had lived for nearly two hundred years and witnessed several changes in the history of mutants.
He knew very well what Rojo's performance meant, and the boy was most likely the omega-level mutant that the professor was looking for, even if the boy wasn't yet, but sooner or later.
"Boy, how much else are you hiding from us?"
"Uncle Wolf's situation is a bit complicated, I'll explain it to you later."
Rojo's eyes flashed with white light, looked at Eugene, and said unhurriedly, "Is it familiar?" This is your own ability, is it not very familiar. ”
"Damn it!"
Eugene tried to move his body, but he couldn't even lift his feet, of course he was familiar with it, this was the first stage of his incineration ability, freezing the enemy in the range of white light, and then completely incinerating the enemy!
He was now beginning to feel his skin gradually becoming hot, not from the scorching sun above his head, but from the white light shining down.
The skin was hot from the beginning, and gradually there was a burning sensation, and there were bursts of tingling pain, as if sharp needles were constantly stimulating the skin and tearing.
Eugene gave up resistance, he knew the incineration powers better than anyone else, and was not strong enough to break free.
He turned his head to look at Rojo, his face pale, and now that his vision was beginning to blur, he asked, "How did you do that?" ”
"What do you mean?"
Rojo asked knowingly.
"It's me who underestimates you, you're very special, you're even one in a million, your ability isn't thunder and lightning, right?"
Eugene said, the burning sensation spread all over his body, his eyes turned gray under the white light, and he completely lost his vision of the outside world, and he stretched out his hand and shook around in some panic.
He gritted his teeth, endured the burning pain, his tone was weak, and the skin on his face melted and fell off.
Some gibberish has already begun.
"Rojo, your abilities are very special, and they are unique in ten thousand, but don't forget, what they want is a mutant like you, you can hide from the blood sample test of Hydra, hide from the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, but you can never escape the shackles of this world"
"Sooner or later, they'll find out and find you!"
Eugene fell to his knees, his lower body turned to blood, his head losing strength, and his face lying on the hot sand.
"I'm doing things that can keep some people alive while you're there. It's only going to make people fear this race even more, and you're going to ruin everything."
"You don't have to worry about it."
Rojo frowned slightly, put away the white light, strode over to Eugene, pulled out the pistol at his waist, and pulled the trigger without the slightest hesitation.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire resounded in the endless desert, the air was filled with thick blood, the smell of blood was emitted, and the sea of sand and gravel blown by the wind soon drowned Eugene's almost half-melted corpse.
"Whew"
Rojo took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face turned a little pale, this ability is very physically demanding, especially when the number of mutants is too small, almost once it is used, it has to rest for a while.
But fortunately, his physical fitness is much better than Eugene's, and he is not to the point of sitting on the ground.
Logan. Howlett saw his exhaustion, took out a jug of water from the overturned car door, ripped it off and spread it on the ground, pulling him to sit in the shadow behind the car.
Then he handed out the kettle, "Little ghost, you are hiding quite deeply, how many things are you hiding from us?" ”
"No, that's it."
Rojo took the kettle and gulped it until his dry tongue and lips were cold.
He looked at Logan beside him, his expression full of apologies, "I'm sorry, I was going to find a chance to explain this matter to you, but then I met Eugene and delayed it." ”
"Kid, there's nothing to apologize for, you're just doing the right thing, your abilities are very special and special, like Eugene said, if someone finds out about you, then the situation will definitely get very bad, you're just thinking about your own safety, what's more, aren't you telling me now, you trust me, telling me the truth is equivalent to entrusting my life, how can I be angry?"
Rogan patted the young man's shoulder comfortingly, and looked at the corpse that was gradually submerged in the sand, with a somewhat complicated expression, "It's just. Eugene, I thought he was a good leader, and so many people in the base respected him, but he turned out to be not as good as Magneto, just a villain hiding in the shadows. ”
Rojo shook his head and said, "If you compare him to Magneto, that is indeed an overestimate." ”
It was morning, and the wind had gradually stopped, so Logan washed his face with water and said, "What exactly are you capable of?" ”
"Learning and evolution, I guess that's probably it."
Rojo wasn't sure either, the name was originally his own.
"Sounds like that, and it fits your abilities well, but I think the professor will have a better insight, and he must be interested in your abilities."
Logan added, "I'm also very interested, what is the principle of your ability, after all, you can learn other people's abilities."
"It's not just about learning, it's about improving."
Rojo explained the general outline of his ability, shook his head again, and added: "But I'm not sure either, the principle of ability, maybe it's a concept in itself."
"Wait a minute. Now that you have the Self-Healing Factor, does that mean that you have also learned the abilities of the Professor and Lona? ”
As soon as Logan asked, he saw the boy nodding, he patted his head, "No wonder you can always guess our minds, it turns out that you are a voyeur like the professor"
"I didn't do that, I won't read your thoughts and thoughts casually, except for the enemy's, Uncle Wolf, don't look at me like that."
Luo Huo saw the ridicule on Uncle Wolf's face, and suddenly remembered that if Lorna knew, she would not hide away directly, after all, the thoughts in this girl's heart are often very different from the surface.
Dididi.
At this time, on the horizon of the desert, several SUVs honked their horns and drove towards this side, and several teams of people who got off the car saw the overturned vehicle and hurriedly trotted over.
"Rojo, Logan!"
Tony and Steve came running quickly, and were relieved to see the two of them sitting on the ground resting unharmed.
Steve looked around and didn't notice Eugene, "Eugene. What about Phil? Where did he go. ”
"Buried."
Rojo gestured to a bulging mound of sand.
"You killed him?"
Agent Hill, who arrived later, lifted the sand and gravel, and frowned when he saw the unpresentable corpse.
"If we don't kill him, will they let them kill us?"
Logan. Howlett took a sip of water and said lightly.
"We said before, after returning to S.H.I.E.L.D., we will solve Eugene's affairs and hand him over to S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with, so that we can get more information about Hydra, and maybe we can catch all the ghosts hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Agent Hill gritted his teeth angrily, originally said that the plan was good, but halfway through, the positioning system showed that the car had overturned, and by the time he arrived, the person was already dead.
This is a huge loss for S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, everyone knows that there are many problems within S.H.I.E.L.D., among which there are many Hydra members lurking, and now that an important member of Hydra is caught, there is no doubt that Eugene may become an important breakthrough point.
Let them dig deeper to uncover more of the Hydra hiding inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
Judging from the footage taken by Rojo before, it was the teenager who took the initiative to provoke Eugene and provoke the other party, causing problems with the plan.
"If you catch all the ghosts in Hydra, your S.H.I.E.L.D. can be disbanded on the spot."
Rojo said lightly, S.H.I.E.L.D. is about to be occupied by Hydra, and even the chairman of the Security Council is a member of Hydra, if you really want to catch them all, it is better to disband them on the spot.
"What?"
The wind was too strong for Hill to hear.
"You can't even keep the scepter of the mind, I'm worried that Eugene will be released soon."
Rojo said bluntly.
"Be careful when you speak, you are responsible for Eugene's death"
Hill's cold face was full of displeasure, and he was about to continue talking when he was stopped by Steve beside him.
He said: "Since the troubles and problems have been solved, don't care about these problems, anyway, without Eugene, the impact is not big, this time the people in the laboratory have been rescued, and they have also obtained information about the Psychic Scepter." ”
"We can now confirm that some of the people rescued in the laboratory are test subjects that Eugene took away from other experiments before, and it seems that Hydra has given him the task of intercepting other research institutions."
Tony. Stark analyzed: "It seems that Hydra should have made new progress in this experiment, otherwise there would be no need for a large number of test subjects, I think it may be related to the Psychic Scepter." ”
Agent Hill next to him listened and recorded, this analysis was the first word, but unexpectedly, Tony quickly turned the conversation to S.H.I.E.L.D., and said, "So, Ms. Hill, if you have time to quarrel here, you might as well go and get back the lost mental scepter of S.H.I.E.L.D." ”
"You"
Agent Hill knew that he was wrong, and he didn't bother with Eugene's death, so he turned around and ordered his men to take Eugene's body away and report the scene to Nick. Fury.
"Don't worry, she's not in the mood to hold on to Eugene's affairs right now."
Tony couldn't help but complain again, "S.H.I.E.L.D. people are like that, they always like to make a big fuss. ”
"Thank you."
Rojo also doesn't like to be pestered by S.H.I.E.L.D.
While chatting, Marcos and John, who had been controlled before, were brought over by S.H.I.E.L.D.
The two lifted the white cloth on the stretcher, saw the corpse on it, the look of disbelief in their eyes did not dissipate for a long time, they also saw the video taken by Rojo, and saw Eugene admit everything in person, but they still couldn't believe it, for them Eugene was like an excellent leader standing in the light, leading everyone to the light, but everything turned out to be an illusion.
"I'm sorry."
Marcos walked up and hugged Rojo and Rogan, his face was tired, revealing a sad color, his eyes fell on Eugene's blue face, and he couldn't disperse for a long time, "He was supposed to be a good leader, he was like a hemp rope, connecting each of us together, but I didn't expect it. In the end, it will be like this. ”
"Everything is an illusion, we have paid so much for him, those who have died in the mission, they thought they were for the base, but in the end they paid for the Hydra."
John sat on the floor laughing at himself, his head hanging down, his heart in a mess.
"You don't have to be sad, Eugene just hid it too well, and we didn't see the truth."
Logan. Howlett understands the feelings of the two, the beautiful vision in their hearts is destroyed in an instant, everything they have paid is false, it is difficult for anyone to accept, they were not even fighting for themselves before.
"Get up, don't cry like a woman."
Luo Huo dragged the two people sitting on the ground up, patted their arms, looked at the two of them, and said with a firm expression: "Cheer up, the clansmen, friends, and family in the base are still waiting for us to go back." ”
"Now that the base is leaderless, there are a lot of important things to do."
