MTL - The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel-Chapter 11 Death's sacrifice to the stars, let us shine
Chapter 11 11. Death is a sacrifice to the stars, may it illuminate our way forward
In the train carriage that was heading towards Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along the railroad tracks, the rear compartment was full of spring at this time, and the bomber girl, who was only wearing a small black vest, was trying to "check the body" for the Earl of Vertigo.
Obviously she is a good girl who cares about the mental and physical health of her teammates.
Having served in Afghanistan, she is well aware of the bad consequences of a person being overwhelmed by pressure. Since she is also under a lot of pressure at this time, this considerate lady chose a method that can dissipate the fastest two times. way of stress.
This fully proves that proper indulgence is good for mental health.
By the way, it proves that human beings are really terrible creatures, even in a dangerous world full of zombies, they still can't stop the instinct of estrus.
"Maybe we should close the door."
The Earl of Vertigo said something in a low voice, but was soon condescendingly put his finger into his mouth by the bomb girl who was in charge of the initiative, and he fell silent obediently.
But just when he was about to sweep away the pressure in his heart, he saw a black shadow flashing into the box.
"What's that? Wait! Something's coming in!"
He yelled, and Bomber, who was busy relieving the pressure, turned her head and saw a tail raised up, then snorted and complained:
"It's just a cat, you coward."
"There are no living cats in this **** world!"
At the critical moment, Count Vertigo, a former member of the Suicide Squad, was still calm enough.
He pushed Bomber off his body and placed his finger on her temple, activating the device implanted there.
It was originally a device used to treat inner ear infections, but it was later transformed into an electromagnetic launcher, which is also the source of his stun other life abilities.
Of course, as a super villain who has participated in selling fans, he also possesses a special "drug" that can make people dizzy and out of control instantly.
The bomb girl is so crazy because she took some medicine he gave her just now.
Even though Earl Dizzy reacted quickly, and an out-of-control electromagnetic wave was thrown at the tiger cat that rushed into the box, he obviously underestimated how high the mental resistance of a zombified high-level wizard and Animagus was.
The zombie cat that rushed towards him was indeed stunned, but the latter still completed the fierce attack.
Just changed the landing point from the earl's neck to his raised arm to block.
"ah!"
The zombified cat's claws slid across his arm.
Not only did it leave bloodstains, it even took a small piece of flesh away. The smell of fresh blood immediately stimulated the zombie tiger cat, making the scarlet eyes of this thing even more attractive.
A shrill neigh sounded in the box, together with the earl's screams of dizziness, and the bomb girl, who was a little dazed after taking the drug, didn't react until now.
She screamed.
He didn't even bother to put on his pants, so he rushed out of the box with his head in his arms, and almost bumped into Mason who was rushing over in Hagrid's fur coat.
"Help! There are monsters in there!"
The delirious bomber yelled at Mason, who knocked her down with the **** of a gun.
But this is by no means intended to vent anger.
Because behind her, the **** zombie cat had already rushed towards her second target.
"唰"
Mason let go of the shotgun, let it be pulled by the straps and hung behind him, and at the same time pulled out the Penguin's armed umbrella and stretched it forward.
The umbrella-shaped shield perfectly blocked the deadly pounce of the zombie cat, and the young man pushed the deadly "little devil" to the rear of the carriage.
In this narrow and inconvenient area, the agile zombie cat is almost a deadly threat.
It was overturned in the air, flipped nimbly and landed, its limbs were tense, and it rushed towards Mason and Bomber again amidst howling.
The young man twisted the handle of the umbrella instead of closing the armed umbrella, and the raging flames spurted out from the tip of the umbrella, causing the zombie cat to make a piercing neigh and stomp on the carriage next to it and fell into a safe area.
"Back! Get out of my way!"
Mason stepped back with the umbrella to distance himself from the deadly thing, and at the same time kicked the shivering white body holding his left leg.
This brought the delirious bomb girl back to her senses, she crawled to the box in front of her with hands and feet, opened the door and rushed in, then locked the door in the next moment.
This reaction was expected by young people.
He didn't expect this high-pitched guy to be of any help, as long as it didn't cause trouble, it would be good.
"Meow!"
But the zombie cat, which already smelled the sweet smell of flesh and blood, naturally refused to let it go. It walked forward with its body like a little tiger, its eyes fixed on the opened armed umbrella in front of it and the young man behind the umbrella.
There was more than murderous gluttony shining in those scarlet eyes.
It just looks like a cat.
But in fact this is another form of Ms. Minerva McGonagall, the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts.
The special transformation ability named "Animagus" is very similar to the legendary druid walking with the beast. Although it cannot use magic, such a cat can do far more than a real cute kitten.
It's waiting.
A few seconds later, the moment the fuel in the armed umbrella was exhausted and the dangerous flames stopped spraying, the zombie tiger cat pounced on it instantly.
It didn't walk in a straight line, but jumped three times in a row on the corridors on both sides of the carriage, just like a bolt of lightning trying to bypass the umbrella and hit the target directly.
But at the same time it rushed over from the air, the armed umbrella was instantly closed, and Mason, who was hiding behind the umbrella, turned his gun and raised it in a waist-firing posture.
The large buckshot in the chamber of the critical shotgun is ready to go.
The action of drawing the gun is as fast as lightning. It is the shooter talent "Quick Draw Gun" that Mason unlocked when shooting Lv2 before.
There was a muffled bang, and 8 hot steel **** flew out of the barrel, covering almost all the space in front of the muzzle.
But Mason didn't stop, and fired a second shot in an instant, and 8 steel **** swept out again, causing the tiger cat to roll and fling to the rear of the carriage while neighing in pain, and the dark red blood stained the aisle.
Before it got up, the third buckshot fired from the barrel again.
But under Mason's extremely regretful gaze, only one steel ball pierced through the hind leg of the zombie cat, but failed to cut off its head directly.
This "witch cat" reacts, attacks and dodges with amazing speed after zombification.
It doesn’t matter if the first two quick blind shots hit low, but the third shot was already aimed, but it rolled on the ground to dodge most of the steel balls.
Three large bullet casings were spinning under Mason's feet. The young man didn't dare to neglect the zombie tiger cat that was limping up. He put the penguin's umbrella back behind him, and then retreated cautiously to the front of the carriage with the gun in both hands. department.
Mason felt the pressure.
The enemy in front of him was too fast. When it pounced, it was so fast that Mason could only see an afterimage.
Lv2 shooting skills can't even lock and aim at close range, and can only use deer bullets that attack in a wide range to delay time, but the opponent's claws and teeth are highly poisonous.
Once the skin is torn, even if it is only broken, you will experience a "rebirth of a zombie from another world".
Fortunately, he can barely resist the claws in Hagrid's fur coat, but if the battle is prolonged, he is not confident that he can defeat the zombified Animagus one-on-one except for blowing up the carriage with engineering bombs .
And Professor McGonagall is a high-ranking witch.
God knows if she will have a gorgeous second-stage transformation after she gets rid of the cat form, using magic to throw an Avada at herself with magic or something like Shenfeng Wuying.
This opponent is a bit out of line.
Mason squinted his eyes and thought, maybe he should give up fighting head-on and choose outsmart?
Also, why isn't that **** old K coming? Didn't you say that I'm your new team member? Is that how you treat the backbone of the team? No wonder your previous squad was wiped out!
"唰"
Just as Mason's "inner theater" opened, the tiger cat launched another attack.
Even if the leg was hit by a steel ball, the speed of this deadly hunter did not drop much. It is not a big problem if the zombie body is tougher than normal skin and has many bones.
The young man could only see the scarlet pulsating light in the cat's eyes, and he rushed to him in an instant. He quickly drew his gun and fired two shots, both of which were empty.
At the critical moment, he turned and crouched to wrap Hagrid's coat around his body, like a little funny man hugging a quilt.
This kind of defense is somewhat careless.
But it works great.
He could feel the zombie cat pounced on his neck and scratched frantically, the fluff flying on the black mole fur coat, and the rustling sound of claws scratching the leather.
Hooked!
Mason was overjoyed.
Open the big fur coat with both hands and throw it back like casting a net to "net" the zombie cat, and quickly grab the corners and sleeves of the coat and close them, just like catching a fish in the net.
The biggest weakness of this zombie cat is size and strength.
Although it is a circle bigger than a normal cat, it is not a little tiger after all, and every attack is a sneak attack instead of a frontal hard attack, which also shows this point.
This will be wrapped in a half-giant coat by Mason, scratching frantically in the wrapped coat, making more and more shrill screams.
"This little beast is really strong!"
A young man like Mason couldn't hold on to his wrapped coat, so he could only swing it up and slam it against the train bulkhead like a rat, but it still couldn't calm it down.
At this moment, the door at the front of the car was directly cut open by two sword lights into an X-shaped crack. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal explosions, the murderous old K kicked open the cracked car door, rushing forward with a flickering gesture. into the compartment.
The old hunter is holding the Golden Eagle one-handed sword in his left hand, and the giant hunting knife in his right hand. It looks like he is ready to roll up his sleeves and fight the boss solo.
But he looked around and didn't find the attacker. Finally, following the increasingly miserable voice, he saw the coat in Mason's hand and the things rolling around inside.
"Let it out! You guys get out!"
Old K painted some kind of gray sword oil on his sword, and said in a cold voice:
"I'll fix it."
"No need."
Mason tore off the belt of the sweaty kiteman who ran over, quickly wrapped the coat several times and threw it under his feet. He wiped his sweat, raised his head and said to Old K:
"It's my loot and I have a right to do with it, right?"
"That's a dangerous zombified magical animal! Mason Cooper, I can tell you responsibly, you can't handle it!"
Old K sternly warned:
"According to the information of the Constellation Society, the wizard system in this world is very weak, but the magical animals that live with them are very amazing.
In fact, it is precisely because of this 'special resource' that this weak world is rated C.
And you, a novice, are about to take on enemies that even veterans will find tricky. The way I see it, you've either been so stressed out that you've gone crazy, or you weren't normal when I picked you up.
But it's understandable, after all, there are not many normal people from Gotham. "
"I'm not trying to challenge it."
Mason blinked.
Judging from Old K's attitude, he can basically be sure that Old K and the Stars Club don't seem to know much about Animagus, which is also an extremely secret special inheritance in the wizarding system.
So he said nonsense:
"I want to keep it! It's really cool to have a zombie cat as a pet, isn't it? By the way, do you have a magical magic cage? I can pay for it."
"You're crazy!"
The kite man with his trousers raised in embarrassment whispered something to Mason, but the younger brother's opinion is never important in this kind of big boss negotiation.
Mason stared at Old K, and Old K also looked at him.
A few seconds later, the old hunter let out a strange laugh, sheathed his sword and took out a small black birdcage-like ornament from his backpack and threw it to Mason.
He said:
"It's a good thing for young people to have hobbies, and I'm very supportive. But if you take this from me, you won't be able to take the spoils later. Deal?"
"Well, deal."
Mason held the little birdcage in his hand, and before he had time to examine it carefully, he heard the bombshell scream.
"No, Werner, what's wrong with you?"
The lady who had been frightened and stupid since the beginning of the war finally came back to her senses. Probably the arrival of old K gave her courage again in her mind, which was delirious due to drug use, and she pushed open the door and walked out.
As a result, at a glance, the dizzy earl covered in blood crawled out holding the door.
That guy is miserable.
The chest was almost scratched, and several fingers were bitten off.
He fell tremblingly to the ground and stretched out his hand towards the bomb girl, but the bomb girl didn't know whether she was moved by the truth or her mind was still not clear, so she stretched out her hand with her bare buttocks and tried to pull the count.
But before her hand touched the Earl of Vertigo, there was a muffled bang, and Earl of Vertigo's head exploded in front of her eyes.
That scene was disgusting.
The kite man turned around covering his mouth, and Mason turned his face away with a look of disgust. As for the bomb girl who was hit with brains, she knelt down in front of the twitching headless corpse in a daze.
It wasn't until this moment that she saw that Count Vertigo's hand, which was lying in the flesh and blood, had twisted into zombie claws.
Behind her, Old K moved his fingers away from the golden bomb controller with a blank face. Then, this guy picked up his pipe and glanced at the bomb girl who was sitting in a pool of blood.
The old hunter shook his head, his tone was complicated and heavy, he held something in front of his chest, as if holding a heart, and said like a eulogy:
"May this death please the dark stars and light our way forward."
—
Ten minutes later, Mason, who was sitting back in the carriage, was holding a pack of beef jerky and chewing in his mouth, while the kite man who was leaning on him, wrapped in Hagrid's coat, had already begun to doze off.
Seeing him snorting and whimpering in comfort, it is not difficult to guess that the magic effect of this coat is probably to maintain the most comfortable body temperature at all times, just as comfortable as being on a bed at home.
In a sense, this coat is also a must-have artifact for home travel.
It's a pity that wearing it is too bloated and will greatly affect the movement speed, which is completely unacceptable for a shooter like Mason.
After confirming that the kite man was asleep, Mason quietly took out the bunch of keys he got from the zombie Hagrid, and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look.
There are two keys in this bunch, but their item information labels are very concise, with only one line:
Hagrid's Flying Motorcycle Key
Effect: Open the flying motorcycle presented to Hagrid after Sirius transformed it with magic.
Tip: Getting the key is just the beginning, you have to find the vehicle first.
Hagrid's Ranger Key
Effect: Open the secret passage of the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Tips: This key is stained with the owner's blood, please be careful when raising pets near Hagrid.
"They are all very useful things, but they are not used now."
Mason bit the jerky and thought about the next action strategy in his heart.
He put the key away in his pocket, looked left and right, and then sneakily took out something **** from his shoes.
That is a very peculiar device.
It looks only as big as three button batteries stacked together, but it is full of a sense of precision.
The young man held it in his hand, and after a while, the item label jumped out:
"A high-level engineering creation was detected, and the item in the analysis is the 'Earl of Vertigo's intracranial disruptor'.
The effect is that it can emit a unique electromagnetic wave that affects the sense of balance to all life or individual individuals within 30 yards around, and can also be used to release EMP shocks to destroy nearby electronic equipment.
Engineering branch knowledge is low and cannot parse the complete blueprint. "
Mason stared at the small thing in his hand, touched the wound on the back of his neck, and then skillfully dismantled the double-barreled hand cannon in his hand for maintenance. By the way, he considered whether to change the structure of the gun. He was extremely relaxed and even hummed. sang.
Now there is only one last medicine that can heal wounds instantly.
He looked at the kite man lying on the opposite side who was sleeping soundly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter. It's fine, everything is going according to plan.
Your head will be handed over to you for temporary storage, Mr. K, I will pick it up soon.
Deeply mourning the passing of an old man, an era is over, a moment of silence.
