MTL - The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel-Chapter 8 Self-cultivation of qualified cannon fodder

  Chapter 8 8. Self-cultivation of qualified cannon fodder

  Mason landed on both feet in a ghostly place with bad taste, and in front of his eyes was a scene like a post-war ruin.

  The three-story platform in front of me was obviously attacked by some kind of explosives that fell from the sky. Even the main body of this rather large railway station has been blown up.

   Mason felt like he had stepped into the battlefield of World War II.

  He looked around, in the ruins full of wreckage, he couldn't even find a trace of life, it was as desolate as if it had been abandoned for decades.

   "Ole Xiete!"

  The only woman in the team exclaimed after seeing the tragic situation in front of her. She was chewing gum trying to relax herself, and she completely broke her defense for a moment.

   This caucasian girl with short black hair, slender waist and long legs looked aggressively at the old K who was checking the hand crossbow. She roared angrily:

"That's not what you said when you recruited me! This is a different world full of power? Shit! This is obviously a ruin, a wasteland! This place is worse than the battlefield in Afghanistan. I feel like I'm back in a nightmare. "

   "Calm down, Ms. Betty."

  Old K ignored her at all, and said in a casual tone:

   "Believe me, this place is already quite a peaceful world according to the records and evaluations of the Constellation Club, very suitable for novices to explore freely.

  Actually, if my old team members hadn’t all died in another **** chaotic world, I wouldn’t bring you group of ‘beautiful babies’ here again. "

   After finishing speaking, the mysterious guy coughed and said loudly to the four people beside him, including Mason:

   "I've been here many times, and my entry test was done here, I guarantee you will have no problem as long as you obey.

  The goal of our expedition this time is an abandoned magic academy that has been destroyed in the apocalypse, huh? Why do you show this expression?

  Isn’t it normal that there is a magic academy in another world? "

  Old K showed that disgusting condescending expression as if talking to a fool. He took out a quiver to reload his crossbow, and said slowly:

   "This world has magic inheritance, but it is very weak.

   There used to be many magic schools here, but most of them have been searched by my colleagues. Ahem, I mean, 'exploration' is clean.

   Only the last one is left for us, and it is also the most dangerous one.

  There are many good things in the ruins there, and our task this time is to find one of them and hand it over to the organization, so as to realize the reorganization of the K team.

  I promise, everyone, as long as you can survive to the end, everyone can get benefits that you can't even imagine.

  The lucky ones will officially join my team and become E-level members of the Stars Club. I will take you to the world I am conquering, and we can do great things together! "

   "Does 'doing great things' mean being abandoned by you in another world like your previous team members?"

  Beside the hot-tempered girl Betty, another tall and thin man asked coldly, making old K's expression suddenly ugly.

  The choking guy is wearing a black tights with a red spiral logo on the chest, and a thick black cloak lined with green patterns.

  He has blond hair but wears an odd half-face mask that covers the upper half of his face, and speaks in a very sombre tone.

  Mason thinks this guy is weird.

  Because every time he looked at him, he felt dizzy suddenly, as if there was some kind of special force field surrounding this guy.

   "Shut up, Lord 'Earl'."

  Old K sneered and said:

   "You didn't talk so much when I got you out of Amanda Waller's prison.

  Find the strange object named 'Sorcerer's Stone' in the ruins of the abandoned Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is the most rewarding and moderately difficult task that the stars will offer in this C-level world.

  Now I will give you some time to get acquainted with each other, and we will set off when I come back from the investigation.

   Out of goodwill, I remind you that the miniature bomb will explode immediately when it leaves the sensing range of the remote control. This range is three kilometers.

   So if you guys are going to run, I suggest you go fast. "

   After finishing speaking, Old K turned and left.

   Probably in order to intimidate the team members, this guy showed his "ability" while walking.

  After walking three steps, the figure suddenly flashed, and appeared strangely ten meters away. After walking a few steps, it flickered again, and the four cannon fodders who saw it frowned.

   "Uh, that, hello everyone, my name is Charles, you can call me 'Kite Man'. I am from Gotham, and I was brought out of Black Gate Prison by Old K.

what about you? "

  The most talkative member of the team speaks first.

  He wears a green onesie with a special brown backpack on his back and flight goggles.

  Although he is tall, he always unconsciously reaches out to touch his head when he talks, which makes this guy feel very unconfident.

   "Forget it, I know you, Kite Man, the former member of the Clown Gang, after the Clown was captured in Arkham, you guys fell apart.

   Those who have the ability have gone to seek refuge with other people, only you and no one wants it.

   Reduced to robbing a bakery and being captured by Gordon himself, I actually doubt you did it on purpose to enjoy a big bowl of delicious prison food. "

  The hot-tempered girl Betty chews gum and puts her hips on her hips. She doesn't care that the explosives inside her coat are seen by others.

  She dismissed the kite man, casually told his embarrassing things, and then looked at the other two people amid the kite man's embarrassing laughter. She looked up and down the man who was choking with old K just now, and said:

   "You're from Suicide Squad? Not bad, man, what's your power? Please don't tell me you can juggle, we already have a good-for-nothing kite man as a team favourite."

   "I know you too, Betty Susie."

  The most powerful looking man glanced at the girl and said:

   "I heard that you have undergone body modification, which can make everything you touch explode. After retiring from the military, you joined a terrorist organization in Canada. People in the circle call you 'Bomb Girl'.

  Amanda Waller pays attention to you, but it's not a good thing. "

   "Bomber, thank you!"

   Betty proudly puffed out her chest, corrected what the man said and stared at him again.

  The latter hesitated, and introduced himself:

   "My code name in the Suicide Squad is 'Vertigo', but people in the circle call me 'Earl', here to clarify, they are right, I do have noble blood.

   As for my abilities.

  I can put all creatures in sight into an uncontrollable stun state, and can interfere with electronic equipment if necessary. "

   "Cool! You'd be a great partner."

  Betty Bomber seems to have established herself as the leader of the four-person gang, and neither Earl Vertigo nor the Kiteman have any objections to this.

  Then the three of them looked at Mason who had been silent all the time.

  Young people don't care about their stares, and they have no interest in introducing themselves. Just kidding, he came here to save himself and not to make friends!

  He will be thinking about the information that old K just said.

   "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Philosopher's Stone?"

  Mason raised his head and looked at the signboard of "King's Cross Station" floating in the wind above the blasted crack in the ruins. He felt that his guess was probably close to ten.

   A feeling of joy and doubt came to my mind at the same time at this moment. Fortunately, I have some understanding of the world, which may become a hidden advantage.

   What I am wondering is, what happened in this world that caused the stations in London to be bombed like this? Could it be that the counterattack that the black wizards have been planning has been successful?

  Wizards and humans broke out into a world war that directly led to the fall of London?

No way?

   "Hey, boy! Everyone is waiting for you to introduce yourself."

  Bomb Girl Betty felt that Mason had despised the "magnificence" she was trying to establish, so she became rude when she spoke. Mason glanced back at her and shrugged when he saw her aggressive appearance.

  He pointed his finger at his mouth, waved his hand again, and made a helpless expression.

   "Ah, it turns out he is dumb."

   Betty was a little embarrassed.

  She glared at Mason annoyedly, and asked again:

   "What is your ability?"

   "唰"

  The critical strike shotgun "Old K" used for precise sniping was pulled out from behind by Mason, and he put it in his hand and made an aiming motion.

   This action made Betty immediately lose interest in this tall, thin, black-haired young man with yellow skin.

   Tch, it turned out to be someone who played with guns.

   In the circle of super villains, this ability is too weak.

  Unless he has super shooting skills and super gun control like Deathshooter or Bloodsport, pure bullets are not a threat at all in front of his explosive ability.

  Betty lost interest in Mason, and turned around to chat with the only Earl of Vertigo she liked, but the despised kite man came over on his own initiative and patted Mason on the shoulder very familiarly.

  The guy whispered to Mason:

   "Don't pay attention to freaks like them, these **** always think that there is power because of ability, but they don't know what real power is.

   When I followed the Joker, I knew all too well about these things.

  They regard the two of us as a burden, and they will definitely let us go up to the top when encountering things. I have seen this kind of thing a lot, so we have to help each other. "

   Facing the kite man's initiative to show his favor, Mason, who pretended to be a mute to avoid too much communication with other people, showed him a polite but distanced smile.

   Then Mason took out a flying bomb assembled with drones and engineering bombs and a control panel from his backpack.

   After a simple operation, this thing flew up as a scout and flew into the ruins in front of it.

   This move made the onlooker kite man blink his eyes. As a villain who had followed the clown and seen the world, he immediately knew that this low-key dumb young man was more powerful than Bomber Girl imagined.

  But a few seconds later, the image sent back from the scouting tablet in Mason's hand made the kiteman almost scream with wide eyes.

  He covered his mouth violently, and looked at the surveillance screen with a beating heart.

  Engineering bombs flew through the dark tunnel below, which was a large pit formed by the collapse of the platform steps leading to the parking lot from the underground platform, where a group of wandering "people" were filled.

them

   No, they hide in the shadows outside the sunlit area overhead, and some guys don't even have a lower body, just use the upper body to crawl on the ground.

  The ground of that ghostly place was stained with dirty and coagulated blood, making it look like **** on earth.

As the drone approached, the faces of those "people" were truly displayed. Their skin was festered, their eyes protruded, their blood-stained teeth mutated and twisted, and some even had their intestines pierced and dragged their shriveled internal organs. move.

   But anyone who has seen a few B-grade movies knows what this is.

   Zombies!

   Massive zombies!

  Mason was also full of doubts.

  He is not afraid of zombies, but he is just entangled in why zombie disasters happen in a world where wizards exist? These two things are obviously different in style!

   "The two of them are leaving."

  The kite man suddenly reached out and poked Mason's shoulder, and said something in a low voice.

  The young man looked back, and it seemed that Bomber and Count Vertigo had discussed the action plan, and they were talking and laughing as they walked towards the exit of the station, not aware of the hidden dangers around them.

  He made a "follow me" look at the kiteman waving his finger, and then walked lightly to the waiting hall of the train station along a safer route detected by the drone.

  Platform Nine and Three Quarters where you can board the Hogwarts magic train is there, and old K should be there too.

   That crafty guy said leaving time to get to know each other was just an excuse.

   That **** is specially trying to give the four newcomers a "severe blow", and wait until their legs and feet are so weak from the fear of the zombies, and then he will descend from the sky.

  Old actors belong to yes.

  The funny villain Kiteman in green stood there hesitantly, and Mason left in the opposite direction to Bomber and Count Vertigo.

   It seemed like a choice was before him.

  Which side do you want to follow?

   Is it a male and female duo that has completely surpassed Mason on paper?

   Or this seemingly ordinary 17-year-old high school student?

  Kiteman didn't hesitate long.

  He decided to believe in the super intuition he had trained in the clown gang for several years, and followed Mason in two or three steps.

  The two were advancing one after the other in the dark and dead silence, with strange roars sounding from time to time. When they entered the waiting hall with the guidance of the drone, there was a violent explosion from behind.

   That's Bomb Girl showing off her power.

  It seems that she finally found the zombies in the station and understood their current situation.

  Mason did not stop but accelerated his forward speed. If the zombies were alarmed, they would soon form a wave of corpses. He had to enter the magic platform immediately.

And as he expected, when he reached the three-quarters platform in September, he saw Old K who was leaning on the stone pillar and smoking a pipe. The latter looked at the silent Mason and the kite following him with admiring eyes. people.

"not bad."

  He grinned, exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly:

  "I have brought many newcomers, and in every batch there are some idiots who think they are invincible and act recklessly with their abilities, and their fate is often not very good.

  The first rule of the Stars Club is to fight with your brains instead of your fists. It seems that you are naturally suitable to join us, Mason, you are indeed a young man favored by Batman.

  But we are a team, so it is bad behavior to leave your companions behind. "

  The hypocritical old K flicked his fingers, turned around and touched the stone pillar behind him, and said to Mason:

   "Those wizards have made an enchantment here, I need some time to open it, your task is to protect me from being disturbed and save those two idiots.

Any question? "

   "click"

  Mason opened the insurance and turned around to make a preparatory shooting action behind him, showing his attitude with practical actions.

  He glanced at the nervous kite man beside him, casually threw an engineering pistol made during the practice last night to him, and motioned him to take a few steps back.

   Don't bother yourself to "grow experience".

  After everything was ready, the young man looked at the screen sent back by the engineering bomb monitoring the movement of the corpse tide.

  The moment he saw Bomber and Count Vertigo being chased by a large number of zombies, Mason decisively pressed the explosion button.

   There was a loud bang.

  The shattered floor above the only road leading to the waiting hall was blown up by the engineering bombs suspended there, blocking the zombies from advancing and blocking the path of the male and female duo until there was only a narrow space to advance.

   Now, regardless of whether the man and woman are willing or not, they have to fight and retreat with the tide of corpses surging behind them to escape.

   This action made old K look back at Mason, but he didn't say much and started to break the wizard's enchantment on the platform.

  Mason moved his shoulders and raised the gun in his hand.

  Enter the combat state, the combat assistance is online, a large number of free aiming frames appear in the field of vision, the red preset trajectory is also turned on, and the "FPS mode" is activated.

   "There is a warrior to stop the tide of corpses."

  He aimed at the disgusting head of the fastest zombie, and when his fingers touched the trigger, he couldn't help thinking:

   "It's rare to have such a good opportunity to practice guns. It seems that being captured here is not all a bad thing. By the way, will my shooting skills break through to Lv3 when I leave here with old K's head?"
