Chapter 536 2 If You Behave Well, Senior Xie Will Take You to See the Goldfish
Chapter 536 2. If you behave well, Senior Tan will take you to see goldfish.
With Mason's help, the besieged Conqueror rookie successfully escaped the pursuit of the Black Lantern Legion's dead, but in fact these awakened dead were obviously not real elites.
The fact that they don't even have a named leading hero among them speaks volumes.
It can also be seen from the military uniforms and standard weapons on these dead people that they should be the creations of ordinary soldiers who died in the flames of war in previous conflicts in this world and were resurrected.
However, due to the strengthening and immortality of the Black Lantern Ring, the difficulty of these guys has increased several times. The power from one of the most intense emotions in the emotional spectrum can naturally only be fought with the same emotional power. It is a pity to conquer The writers obviously did not have the luxury to equip a group of cannon fodder with lamp rings that were destined to be destroyed.
After seeing the power of the world's defense forces with his own eyes, Mason also formally determined that the operation itself was meaningless. The current miserable chaos was what the conqueror wanted to see.
Of course, this is not just to give away someone's head to entertain myself.
Mason guessed that this was just a distraction tactic, using a large amount of cannon fodder to attract attention while buying time for the real main force hidden inside. It was a very traditional but very effective strategy. There was no problem except that it was a little cold-blooded.
"Keep going, don't stop!"
Mason led the way leisurely, as if he were playing an RTS strategy game, directing these embarrassed guys who were supposed to be dead to move forward in the dark.
He himself was not in a hurry at all, and even had the leisure to instruct these rookies to counterattack.
"Pyroman attacks to the left and rear, and Little Naughty absorbs Iceman's power! The two of you pay attention to covering the flanks. Colossus and Psylocke are leading the way, and another group of Black Lantern dead are surrounding them. There are about a dozen people in total.
What is Storm Girl doing huddled on the ground?
Your little electric arc can't hurt these dead people who can be resurrected infinitely. These guys have no air power. Is your storm shield afraid of bullets?
Now take off immediately to summon a mini-rainfall to coincide with the Iceman's freezing!
How did you pass the graduation examination?
Can't you even do this simplest coordination of strength? "
In his stern scolding, the hurried rookies immediately followed the instructions. Probably because they were clones and had obedience programs written into their genes, these guys' execution skills were quite good.
After getting the space to display, they quickly launched a very exciting counterattack, easily breaking through the last few sieges and escaping from the power of the Black Lantern Ring.
But the black mud was still extending, as if it was chasing the last living creature. It was even more ferocious to be attracted by the fresh vitality. However, without the interference of the dead, the Storm Girl was able to spend time accumulating strength to set off a big storm. Traveling quickly with his teammates.
They broke through the air and reached Mason's safety minutes later.
Mason, wearing a hood and mask from the Society of Stars, was standing next to a small river. The flowing water gathered around him and turned into a flying green dragon, which looked very "master-like".
After these rookies landed, they understood as soon as they saw Mason's dress. Psylocke, who served as the temporary team leader, said:
"Will the stars also take action in this world?"
"Impolite guy! Is this how you talk to the noble and powerful A-class personnel who just saved your lives?"
Mason snorted, and with a pinch of his fingers, a golden ID card jumped into his hand.
This thing is an unfalsifiable symbol of being a member of the Society of Stars. When they saw it, the few rookies completely dropped their last bit of vigilance.
"Salute to you, my lord."
Psylocke immediately stood up straight and made a conqueror's gesture to Mason.
Although the Association of Stars and the Conquistadors belong to different organizations, the A-level pioneers also have a temporary military rank equivalent to that of a senior conqueror. They are indeed superiors to these new recruits who have never seen the world.
In addition, Mason had just announced his identity, which gave them the illusion that he was "one of their own."
Well, strictly speaking, it's not an illusion. Mason is indeed one of their own, especially after the war in the Gotham world ended, he has probably become the most famous of all the clones born in the Weapon X project.
The information and materials have already been placed on the desks of all powerful members of the Hope Council.
"Introduce yourself."
The Commander-in-Chief snorted and waved his hands imitating the arrogant posture of those A-class members in his memory. The water flow around him changed into several lifelike phoenixes, fully demonstrating Mason's superb mutant ability manipulation.
The "legendary aura" that originated from the completion of the Isu bloodline weighed heavily on the rookies in front of them, forming a kind of "deterrence" effect.
Let them sit on the ground panting and trying to soothe their souls, but it is difficult to even look up at Mason.
At the request of the captain, the temporary captain rookie Psylocke introduced:
"We are privates from the first order of the Conquerors, belonging to the 37th Red Tank Commando. This is our first official combat mission."
"I didn't ask you this!"
Mason snapped his fingers and said:
"I have no interest in the internal affairs of the conquerors, and your secret mission has nothing to do with me. I have my own pioneering mission to perform. Children, I hope you understand the current situation.
I risked being exposed to save you not because of your status as a conqueror! "
Psylocke, who was taking action for the first time, was still a little confused. Iceman next to him looked at Mason's water control ability and suddenly understood. He coughed and explained in a gentle voice:
"We were born at the 27th branch base of the Weapon
In fact, all mutant clones born after the formal establishment of the First Order of Conquerors were codenamed after the Primarch. "
"Yes, this is what I want to hear, and this is why I save you, my brothers and sisters."
Mason finally burst into laughter.
He dismissed the water control beside him, threw a few bottles of medicine to the rookies in front of him, and said:
"My life trajectory is slightly different from yours. In an accident that cannot be described further, I was forced to join the Society of Stars and work under the Swordsman. I learned about your existence from the Mutant Utopia, but I never had any channels and You contact.
I'm very curious, if all of you clones born later use the code name of the original gene, how do you identify each other?
As far as I know, each batch of Project Weapon X clones will replicate an entire team of X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants, right? "
"We will use the serial number instead, sir."
The little naughty boy, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, blinked and replied:
“In fact, in the first sequence of Conquerors, the appearance serial number is our real name, and the nickname is just a proxy.
However, the highest serial number we have ever seen since its birth is only 076, which is our Commando Captain Red Tank. A 003 serial number like yours is simply a legend. "
"Jie Jie Jie, of course I am a legend! A real legend.
That is to say, I went astray and joined the Association of Stars and became an A-class member. If I had chosen the same career path as you, I might be the commander-in-chief of the conquerors by now. "
Mason responded to the inquiries of the rookies in front of him with a strange smile.
In the brief conversation, he had basically figured out the internal structure of the first conqueror sequence, and the so-called first conqueror sequence should refer to the first conquering legion established when the Hope Council was established. It was originally led by Mason An external violence organization formed by clones of the Weapon X project in their hometown.
If Mason had not encountered an accident, there was a high probability that he would have joined them and died silently while conquering an unknown world.
"Don't move, your leg is broken, poor little guy."
Mason squatted down and held down the pale Storm Girl's left leg, and then gestured to the "youth version" Miss Anna next to her to help pull off the injured person's black stockings.
While he skillfully performed first aid to increase his proficiency, he asked the frightened little guys beside him:
"Tell me, why did you rush here so recklessly to kill someone this time?"
"Uh, sir, this is a military secret."
The temporary captain, Ling Die, leaned on his katana with some embarrassment and whispered:
"Although we are grateful to you for saving our lives, we are disciplined and cannot say the goal of this operation, and we must set off immediately to the meeting point."
"Did you fight so hard?"
Mason asked in surprise:
"You cannot transfer in your current situation. In fact, I don't think you can even get through the nearby Black Lantern Defense Zone. If you are besieged again, no one will be able to save you.
I understand that the execution of tasks requires courage, but courage does not mean risking death. "
"It's impossible not to go, my lord! You are not a conqueror. You do not understand our system."
The grumpier Powder complained with a cigarette in his mouth:
“If we fail to reach the assembly area after 30 minutes, we will be judged as ‘deserters’ and executed.
There have been many such things in the past. The first lesson when we joined the Conquistadors was to witness the execution of the last batch of deserters. I have to say that it was still fresh in my memory. "
"Well, military management, I understand."
Mason nodded and asked no more questions.
With his superb first aid skills, Storm Girl's terrible injuries were quickly cured. With the help of Psylocke, this "youth version" girl stood up and thanked Mason very sincerely. However, they were just a group of recruits with nothing, and they had no chance of getting anything. I can't give you anything decent as a thank you gift.
But the captain obviously doesn't need it very much.
He waited there for a few minutes, and soon another team led by Barbara appeared in sight under the dark night.
They came over in an octant troop carrier covered in optical camouflage.
"Sweetie!"
As soon as the black cabin door opened, Harley, who was dressed as a gothic vampire amidst the barking of dogs, was the first to pounce out. She pounced on Mason and rubbed her sweetly, while Quinn was on top of her. Next to them were dressed like vampires from this world. The two of them also wore red contact lenses, making them look like a pair of vampire twins.
"Come down! Everyone, come down, quickly!"
Batgirl and Catwoman both put on the classic costumes of high-ranking members of the Society of Stars in advance. Amid Selina's scolding of waving her whip, a group of disgraced Conqueror rookies were kicked off the troop ship.
These guys were much worse off than the few people Mason saved.
Except for a few people who had the ability to heal themselves and could walk on their own, the others limped down carrying the seriously injured on stretchers.
"After these unlucky guys escaped from the territory of the Black Lantern Ring, they encountered the Cadmus Project clone super soldiers led by the Golden Vanguard. Half of them were killed. We only had time to save these."
Barbara reported to Mason:
"According to your order, there is no conflict with the forces in this world, but the locals are indeed a bit strong. The golden vanguards in this world have combat capabilities comparable to the second-tier classic heroes.
I feel like he's almost catching up with Green Arrow. "
"Being able to persevere in a long-term conflict requires a strong moral character."
Mason observed the defeated soldiers in front of him. After a few seconds, he turned to Psylocke beside him and said:
"Is your commander among these people?"
"No, I just asked. The team leader who was supposed to lead us to the designated location has died in the battle."
The rookie Psylocke sighed and said:
"Now that I have the highest rank, I automatically take over the position of commander. Thank you for your help, sir, but we must go now."
"How far do you want to go with a bunch of rookies?"
Mason sneered and said:
"Didn't you hear the information reported by my team members? The Eyes of Heaven in this world have noticed you. If my guess is correct, there will be pursuers coming soon.
And because of your stupidity and incompetence, my pioneering actions are also at risk of being exposed! I really regret saving you juniors now. "
Being scolded, Lingdie lowered his head, feeling aggrieved but unable to say a word.
But she couldn't refute that their performance was indeed too poor.
However, her interesting reaction came from the "personality fine-tuning" of multiple batches of clones in the Weapon X project. This kind of preset small changes in personality is conducive to the rapid growth of clones.
But just like random lottery, occasionally you will get some embarrassing traits.
For example, the combination of the rational violent person, the slow perceptive person, and the blind sharpshooter sounds strange, but upon closer inspection, it is indeed full of contradictions.
The character of the youth version of Psylocke in front of him should be that of a "strong doormat". He burst into tears after being scolded by Mason several times, but he tried not to cry.
"Captain, it's useless to scold them now. Since they are your 'little fellows', why not help them again."
Sister Catwoman naturally played a double act with Mason and said:
"Anyway, our pioneering operation will be carried out nearby, and it may coincide with their goals. Little sister, don't cry. It's understandable that the first operation is like this.
The first time of anything is difficult and terrible. No matter how much preparation you have done, you will inevitably be in a hurry when you go on the field.
Come, tell sister, where are you going? If you're on your way, I can give you a ride. "
Behind Catwoman, Mason held a shimmering Isu golden apple in his hand. This thing was now like a toy to Mason, retractable and retractable.
Under the influence of its spiritual power, the red-eyed Psylocke's psychological defenses loosened little by little. Then they considered that depending on their current situation, they really couldn't reach the rendezvous point within the designated time, so when Catwoman whispered comfort, " With a comforting gesture like "big sister", she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, and told the mission of her team.
"What? Say it again!"
Mason narrowed his eyes and looked at the rookie Psylocke beside him, and he asked:
"Where are you going? Who to assassinate? Wonder Woman? Just you? You're actually kidding, right?"
"I also think this mission is outrageous, but this is the order given by the superiors."
Lingdie wiped away her tears and explained to the powerful "senior" seriously:
“Our first phase of the order is to break through all obstacles and head to Paradise Island, and in addition to us new recruits, there is also an elite team composed entirely of veterans who have already lurked in advance.
Our mission is to create assassination opportunities for them,
Not just us, all clones of the entire 248th sequence, batch 014, have been dispatched and randomly assigned to various parts of the world as bait under the leadership of veterans.
But we are now unable to complete the tactical objectives within the specified time. We can only ask for your help, sir, to use your vehicle to reach the target area of the first stage. "
"This is actually screening, right?"
Barbara couldn't help but say:
"They actually don't care at all how many of you survive. What they want is the effect of information confusion caused by interference."
“That’s how conquerors do things.”
Lingdie lowered his head and said:
"Only recruits who survive the first three operations can be promoted to veterans, and our clear positioning in the first conqueror sequence is that of 'expendable personnel.'"
"This is too tragic."
Harley couldn't bear to hear it, and she said in a sharp tone:
"But let the little sweetheart go, she will definitely pass the test smoothly and become a powerful big shot soon!"
"Thank you for your strange faith in me in these strange places."
Mason rubbed his chin and patted the little cutie on the head. He took a look at the cold night and made a quick decision.
"boarding!"
The captain waved his hand and said:
"I'll take you to the mission location and visit Paradise Island, but the premise is that you can't expose our existence! Little Psylocke, we also have our own secret operations."
He said to Psylocke, the doormat beside him who had his head lowered:
"You should be able to meet this trivial request of senior, right? My incompetent junior."
