Chapter 337 36 You Cunning and Pathetic Little Bastard, You Offended Mason and You Still Want to Run Away?

Chapter 337 36. Cunning and pathetic little brat, you have offended Mason and you still want to run away?

Since Mason joined the Society of Stars, he has also traveled around many worlds, doing all kinds of great things and being praised by others. He is already considered a number one figure, but today he was fucking robbed in this wasteland.

This is really a huge world with lots of wonders.

However, as a person involved in the "Gobi Robbery", Mason expressed that his mood was stable. Surrounded by a dense swarm of mechanical ants, he seemed not to hear the cry of the strange guy who appeared on the bridge next to him.

He will be thinking about a problem.

If he was trying to make a living in this wasteland and could still control the mechanical ants so powerfully. According to Blue Beetle, he could eat up a city's mechanical ant colony in a few minutes. What would he do if he wanted to live a better life? method?

Robbery?

No!

Robbery in this ghostly place where no one might pass by for several days is the least imaginative and most time-wasting way to "get rich," but that's what the guy in front of me did.

So either there's something wrong with his brain, or these mechanical ant colonies are not as powerful as they seem.

At least not powerful enough to be driven to attack the nearby city of New Babylon.

Mason blinked, his Isu senses focusing on the intricately crafted individuals in the dense swarm before him.

The size of these mechanical flying ants is no different from that of normal ants. Their production technology is so superb that it would be impossible to produce them in large quantities in the wasteland era, and Mason found many damaged individuals among them.

They were not well repaired and could only continue to fly difficultly among the ant colonies dragging their remains.

"He can't control the ant colony."

Mason narrowed his eyes and came up with an answer instantly:

"At most, it is a guide, not a forced order. This little thief is just pretending to be powerful!"

"Barbara!"

Mason reminded the hacker master of Team K:

"Electromagnetic disruptor preparation."

"Already preparing, activating, target sky."

Batgirl said in the communication:

"You also noticed, right? Mason, these ant colonies are not well manipulated at all, they are just imitating the ants' hunting patterns.

This is a hoax to scare people. "

"You'll know in a minute."

Mason sneered, and after waiting in place for a few seconds, the electromagnetic interference waves shot from the spider car behind him hit the sky like invisible cannonballs.

The mechanical flying ants flying around Mason and others seemed to have smelled something terrible, and suddenly dispersed, like a corner of the black cloud in the sky being torn apart.

This allowed Blue Beetle and Bizarro, who were ready for a hard fight, to easily escape with Mason and Harley.

"Right here, land down."

Mason kept calculating the distance, and after leaving the ravine thirty meters, he let the Blue Beetle land on the ground.

He took a few steps forward and looked at the ant colony rolling on the ground in front of him.

Even though he was less than two meters away from Mason, it was like an invisible line was stuck in front of his eyes, preventing those vicious mechanical ant colonies from taking a step further.

He shook his head, stood up and looked at the bridge ahead.

Standing among the guards of thousands of ants was a thin young man. The latter was wearing tattered but very religious clothes. He had a silver helmet on his head, which was rusty but had two tattoos on his forehead. The antenna makes it full of recognition.

"Where did you pick up this Ant-Man helmet?"

Mason shouted to the young men on the bridge:

"You are the 'Ant King' of the ant gang? You are having a lot of fun, kid. You have scared a lot of people with this method over the years, right? Let me ask you! Did you make the corpse in the ditch?"

"So what if it's me?"

The young man wearing an Ant-Man helmet and using it to control the surrounding mechanical ant colonies saw that his trick was exposed, but he was not afraid. He just stood on the bridge with his hands on his hips and threatened Mason:

"These people are as smart as you! They all saw that my 'little brothers' would not leave this area, and they all guessed that I could not force them to order them.

So they planned to kill me and take away the helmet. Are you planning to do the same?

You can try it. "

"Hey, if this thing didn't have an 'emergency berserk mode' or something like that, I would laugh at Dr. Pym's poor skills. It's not that easy for me to be fooled, kid."

Mason waved his hand, gestured to Harley, and said:

"You are so vicious at a young age. This wasteland is indeed a place where fire hides dragons, but I'm not here to discuss this with you today. We don't have any money, so I can give you food and water.

Anyway, when you take the money, you will go to the nearby black market to buy these things, but I won't give it to you for free.

Do you have Pym particles in your hand? "

Seeing Harley take out a bottle of pure water and throw it on the bridge, the vigilant young man picked up the water and tested it with a weird instrument. After confirming that there was no toxin, he turned around and took a big sip, wiping his mouth happily. Then he turned back to Mason and said:

"What did you just say Pim? What was that?"

"A liquid like a drink, purple in color, enclosed in a small test tube that cannot be broken."

Mason described the shape of Pym particles to him and asked:

"If you can find the Ant-Man helmet, you must have found an area like Dr. Pym's laboratory nearby. There should be something like this there. If you don't need it, why not give it to me instead?

The price I give will definitely satisfy you.

There is no need to worry about anything. The tribulation land you chose is really wonderful. The only way to New Babylon is blocked here. A small number of us cannot deal with the raging mechanical ant colony.

You see, I'm a smart guy.

I'm not trying to steal your helmet, I just want the Pym Particles. "

The deal proposed by Mason made the young man on the bridge hesitate. After nearly half a minute of silence, he shouted:

"If I have it, what are you going to give me in exchange for it?"

"I just said, food and water."

Mason snapped his fingers, and Harry shrugged and took off the magic pocket on his waist. With a wave of his hand, a small warehouse of pure water, emergency food, and a large pile of snacks appeared in front of him. The pile was like a hill.

These things are absolutely hard currency in the wasteland, and they are things that even money cannot buy in the current situation.

Mason took a few packages of "samples" and was not afraid of the mechanical ants gathering around him. He threw them on the bridge and let the vigilant young people "inspect" them first.

After confirming that they were all edible and tasted good, the young man wearing the Ant-Man helmet made a gesture and said:

"Well, I did find a small box of Pym particles you mentioned. That thing almost killed me, cough. In short, it is really useless for us to hold it.

I can exchange it for you.

But I want five times the payment for the food and water! "

This is obviously the lion's opening.

The old wolf on the spider car frowned when he heard this condition. He said to Mason in the communication:

"The amount of food you gave him is enough to feed a force of dozens of people for a month. He is deliberately making things difficult for us. Dr. Pym has been dead for seventeen years, and the things he left behind may have been damaged long ago.

Be careful of scams. "

"It doesn't matter, we have no shortage of food and water."

Barbara next to her explained while debugging strange things:

"But Pym particles are very precious. Although I don't know what they are, I have heard Mason say it several times. If we can get samples with only food and water, then we will make a lot of money no matter how much we pay. ”

The old wolf obviously knew what Pym particles were, and he didn't try to persuade him any more. After Mason agreed, the "Ant King" on the bridge used his helmet to activate certain functions.

A few minutes later, a group of ants came to the bridge carrying a small, worn-out box. The box had the Pim Technology logo on it, which made Mason raise his eyebrows.

Food and water were also prepared on his side.

Zod, who volunteered as a trader, completed the payment and delivery of goods surrounded by mechanical ants.

"Okay, you can go."

The ant king, who had received food and water and learned how to use the magic bag, grinned.

He waved his hand, and a red light shone on his helmet, driving the mechanical ant colony back underground. Then he pointed in the direction behind him and threatened Mason and his group:

"Don't come to us, smart man. I'm only going to say this once. If you dare to come, you will bear the consequences!"

After saying that, he quickly disappeared into the hills behind the bridge while carrying his luggage.

Mason opened the shabby little box in his hand, which contained only a small bottle of purple-red liquid. Harry was so angry that he had been cheated.

But for Mason, the small tube of Pym particles in front of him was enough.

He picked it up and looked at it, and the information label popped up:

Pym particles

Quality: Legendary Engineering/Alchemical Creation·Perfect Craftsmanship

Effect: Used to drive a series of quantum combat devices and scientific instruments developed by Dr. Pym. It can also be used crudely to destroy the stability of the target object and impose a [Quantum Destruction] state on it.

warn!

This item can only be stored in specific containers. Once leaked, it will cause extremely dire consequences.

Producer: Hank Pym

Item description: All the bits and pieces you gained on this trip combined are not as good as this cute little thing. The most ridiculous thing is that you actually exchanged a pile of bread and water for it. You are lucky, Mason.

hint!

The formula analysis of this item requires Engineering Lv8 and Alchemy Lv8.

"It's worth it."

He comforted the irritable Harley and put the small tube of Pym particles into his own special safe. The price of this thing was priceless and could not be measured by money or material things.

What's more, how could a cunning guy like Mason not hold anything back?

"Did you find his whereabouts?"

Back on the spider car, after everyone drove nearly five kilometers across the bridge, Mason asked. The red light in the eyes of Barbara sitting next to him kept beating, and she said hoarsely:

"If I hadn't just used the Super Soldier Serum to strengthen my brain, just supporting the running of this nano-scale tracker would have taken up two-thirds of my RAM cache.

The bad news is that the little guy is cunning and the area where he's hiding blocks the signal.

The good news is, we're better.

He's hiding underground!

The tracking line has been issued, and the signal simulation of the mechanical ant colony has been completed. "

Barbara ejected a separate chip from the personal computer running at hand, loaded it into a USB flash drive-like device, and handed it to Zod, who was ready to go with an expressionless face.

She warned:

"Keep this thing close to your body and the mechanical ants will not attack you. Follow the route and go in and out quickly. Don't touch anything on the road."

"Um."

Zod nodded, got up from the speeding spider car, leaped into the sky and galloped towards the back.

You want to run away after taking Mason's things?

Although the 'Ant King' was trained by this wasteland to be vicious and cunning, he was obviously a little too naive.

"Mr. K! How did you put the tracker on that guy?"

Harley asked in surprise:

"You obviously didn't have any contact with him! Can the bat cubs' technique of placing trackers now be completed with thoughts?"

"Stupid Harley!"

The blue beetle flying next to him was holding his stomach and almost laughed out loud. He reminded:

"That bottle of water! That greedy guy took a sip of water, remember? The nano-scale tracker was hidden in the water. I just realized it."

"It turns out that this is wrong!"

Harley still frowned and said:

"That water was all made by us at Osborne Tower, and it was not opened during the process! Mr. K had no chance to put a tracker in it?"

"Well, is there such a possibility?"

Barbara glanced at Mason, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and said in a quiet voice:

"When the water was filled, the tracker was already in it? It's not a question of which bottle of water is in it, Hallie, it's in all the bottles.

You all have it in your body at the moment, but there is no need to activate it. "

The atmosphere on the entire spider car suddenly became weird. Harley rubbed her flat belly. She glanced at Mason. Her Mr. K shrugged and said in a long voice:

"This is just a proper 'protection', in case you go missing and I can't find you, don't think too much about it, and you have also seen that it never hurts to be prepared early, right?"

In the back of the Spider Car, the silent Eagle Eye took a sip of wine and said in a mute voice to his daughter, who was rubbing her belly and looking weird:

"This is the new boss you chose for yourself! Ashley, now, do you still have confidence that you can outplay him?"

"Pym's Cross is here! Everyone."

The only one who did not participate in the discussion, Lao Lang, who had been driving silently, suddenly said something to make everyone look forward.

They had been curious before about why the intersection closest to New Babylon was marked with the surname "Pim". Now when the spider car passed a mountain col, everyone understood the reason.

This crossroads leading in different directions is at the foot of the hill ahead.

It was not born naturally, but a huge skeleton nearly a hundred feet high lying there.

Its pale arms pointed north and south respectively, while its head and incomplete legs pointed east and west. Viewed from a height, this was the posture of a person who had fallen down with his hands spread out.

This is the origin of Pym's Cross.

"During the nuclear war, he alone blocked the Red Skull's pursuers and bought time for hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate New York City. The mechanical ant controlled by the 'Ant King' just now was probably Dr. Pym's last ditch effort. The ultimate weapon unleashed."

Old Wolf said hoarsely:

“After that night, this place was called ‘Pym’s Cross’, and the people who survived in the wasteland are the people who were evacuated and their descendants.

It can be said that this place is a holy place that everyone knows.

Clint stubbornly wanted to go to New Babylon and had to go in the direction of Pym's thigh. But if we wanted to go to the old site of Xavier Academy, we had to go straight in the direction of his left hand.

The two places are nearly a hundred kilometers apart and must be separated. "

"Mr. K and I will go together!"

Harley raised her hand and shouted, but no one objected.

Mason looked at the huge Pym Cross in front of him. He turned to Barbara and said:

"You follow Clint to New Babylon, stay in contact at all times, and act as planned."

"Um."

Batgirl nodded.

Apparently she and Mason had some plans before setting off.

However, everyone cannot leave now, because Zod, the black-clad Superman, has not yet finished capturing and tracking the "Ant King". Mason has great ideas about the power of the mechanical ant colony he just witnessed.

He has always felt that as a hacker master, Barbara's self-protection ability is a bit weak, and every time she takes action, a person is assigned to protect her.

This model obviously cannot last long, so it is better to take this opportunity to "upgrade" Barbara Gordon.

"I think you should have a new title, sister."

Mason rubbed his chin and said to Barbara, who was tracking Zod's whereabouts and performing a prosthetic self-examination next to him:

"What do you think of the nickname 'Ant Queen'?"

"Not great, terrible."

Barbara moved her shoulders in discomfort and said:

"I have always disliked ants since I was a child."

"oh?"

Mason curled his lips and said:

"Then you probably have to learn to like it from now on."
