Chapter 69 Moonstone
"Who cares about Mother Moon, Father Moon, and Grandpa Moon, tell me now! Where is that bitch Kara Thorfinn?" Clint cursed angrily, and the white beard on his mouth was trembling.
Kara Thorfinn, also known as Moonstone from the Thunderbolts, killed the Falcon with her own hands in front of Hawkeye on the day the hero fell. The energy emitted from her hands almost roasted the poor Falcon. Coke.
Over the years, Clint had only collected rumors about her living in seclusion in Canada. He never thought that Moonstone would use his degree in psychology to recruit people from the wasteland to believe in her and start a cult.
The tumor on this woman's head is the best proof that the gemstone on the moonstone chest will cause radiation damage to the wearer and the people around her over time.
"You are not allowed to insult our goddess!" The tumor girl who was pointed at the gun suddenly went crazy, her eyes were red and she was about to pounce on Hawkeye.
But the moment she started to move, Bai Ye kicked her hard, and the huge impact caused her to fly more than five meters away and hit her violently against a big tree.
The woman let out a shrill scream, her body twisted in pain, and the tumor on her head burst and leaked brown pus, emitting a strong stench.
"It's so disgusting, just as disgusting as your 'goddess'!" He spat on the ground and said with eagle eyes in disgust.
"Oh, cough, cough. No, no, no." The woman tilted her mouth, and large mouthfuls of blood flowed out, but she was still trying her best to protect her mistress.
Bai Ye's face was expressionless.
The maximum force he exerted was enough to smash the metal shell of the Doom robot. Even if he had just restrained his strength, ordinary people would not be able to withstand such an impact. The woman's ribs may have been broken and inserted into her internal organs, and there was no way to survive.
"Do you have anything else to ask?" He turned to look at Hawkeye who was still sulking and asked. The only valuable map on this female cultist's possession had been taken away.
"No, there's nothing you can say to such a lunatic."
Clint shook his head, and as soon as he loosened his grip, the prepared arrow penetrated the cultist's head. He turned around and walked towards the car.
"Wait, don't get in the car." Looking at the map in his hand, Bai Ye raised his head and shouted, pointing to the tall trees next to him.
"According to the road map, the rest of the road can only be walked. Those guys built their village in the wilderness."
"I thought we were going to find Zemo?" The Punisher walked up to Bai Ye carrying a big bag and asked slowly while looking around the forest.
Bai Ye put away the map and nodded: "That's true, but if nothing else, Moonstone has the coordinates of the X Weapon Factory where Zemo is located."
Many years ago, Moonstone launched an assassination attempt on Baron Zemo due to uneven distribution of the spoils. Zemo sent a programmed sentinel robot to eliminate her, but was defeated by Moonstone.
The appearance of these sentry robots is close to the first-generation sentry robots developed by Bolivar Trask in the 20th century in "X-Men: Days of Future Past". They are just taller, as high as seven or eight stories.
The black box of this kind of sentry robot often contains the coordinates of the starting point, which is where Zemo is.
After listening to Bai Ye's explanation, Frank nodded silently and followed him into the woods.
Perhaps considering the limited intelligence of these cultists, every corner and intersection was clearly marked on the map. After walking for less than an hour, the group saw a faint village at the end of the dirt road.
But rather than calling it a village, it would be more appropriate to call it a ruin.
As they got closer, everyone could already see the whole village from between the cedars. Dozens of wooden shacks and temporary wooden walls were dotted among the ruins. This place should have been a nice little town many years ago. town.
"There seems to be some movement inside." Clint pricked up his ears and said. People often say that when you lose something, you gain something. He felt that his hearing was getting better and better recently.
But it’s better to be able to see.
Hearing this, the group of people quickly changed their route and went around to the side hillside, using the terrain to see clearly what was going on inside the village.
In the center of the village stood a wooden tower, the only tall building in this desolate place.
At the top of the wooden tower, stood an old woman wearing a baggy tights. These two words should not be next to each other, but they still appeared on her body. Her face was wrinkled and a tumor bulged on her forehead.
The most important thing is that there is a glowing oval-shaped gemstone on her chest, which is tightly tied with layers of bandages, as if she is afraid that it will fall off.
"Kara Thorfinn!" Clint gritted his teeth and pulled out an arrow, put it on the string but did not shoot it immediately.
He wanted to see what this former member of the Thunderbolts was up to.
Because in front of the moonstone, kneeling was a man who was also covered in tumors. His body was shaking, as if he was facing huge pressure and fear.
Below the wooden pagoda, nearly a hundred people with tumors were kneeling around the wooden pagoda.
No, Eagle Eyes frowned and looked carefully, the man didn't seem to be afraid, but because of extreme excitement.
Just when he was doubting, a sound came from a loudspeaker placed somewhere in the village, which solved his doubts.
The man was shaking with excitement because he knew he was about to receive the reward of Moonstone Village, an opportunity he had always dreamed of.
Only a handful of people can receive the goddess's award, which is undoubtedly a privilege.
White light flashed in the old woman's eyes, and she spoke slowly, showing her rotten teeth: "You are our prisoner, but you also have a chance to be pardoned. You will accept the light cast by my holy land and truly become a member of our village. "
The man's eyes were filled with ecstasy and expectation. He stretched out a hand to reach out to the person in front of him, but then retracted it out of awe: "Thank you, thank you! I knew those tourists I killed for you were worthy of your favor! "
"My mercy will enable you to find your true home in this hell on earth."
Moonstone smiled broadly, her hands pressed tightly against the tumor on the man's head, and a strong light spurted out from her hands, illuminating the entire village.
The light was accompanied by scorching heat, causing the surrounding air to become distorted.
"Go, go, go, go -"
Along with the screams of joy, the hot breath filled the air, accompanied by a pungent burnt smell.
When the light gradually faded, the man's body had been completely burnt to charcoal, leaving only a black remains with a kneeling figure that could barely be seen.
The old woman who put away the light jumped down from the wooden tower and slowly landed on the ground. The other believers stretched out their swollen and rotten hands covered with frostbite, praying to touch the remaining warmth that had not dissipated.
"Cults harm people."
Bai Ye shook his head and sighed, then patted the old archer beside him.
"Are there any explosive arrows? Shoot that shining gem on her chest."
