26. Deadly Mission
Clark's perception is very powerful, especially his hearing.
When he was a child, Clark could hear the noises throughout Kansas, which made him very painful at one point. However, with the help of Martha, Clark finally learned to control his super listening, just as he learned to disguise himself as an ordinary person.
As he grew older, Clark's physical fitness has been improving, especially with the help of Merlin, who obtained control of the Kryptonian spacecraft "Lonely Fortress". With the help of the Kryptonian artificial intelligence Carl, Clark's potential has been rapidly unearthed in recent years.
He leaves the earth for two days a month, hovering in space to receive pure sunlight to fill the Kryptonian cells in his body with energy.
He goes to the "Mysterious House" club every Friday. With the "help" of Queen Riana on the Hell's Border, he trains his combat ability. In the ghost place on the Hell's Border, Riana can mobilize the power of the whole world to attack him. In addition, Riana herself is a real master of black magic. Under her training, Clark's combat skills have almost increased significantly with Japanese aggression.
From time to time, he would be invited by Merlin to participate in some secret operations, mostly against the rebellious aliens, or some superhumans who appeared in the world for various reasons.
At other times, Clark would disguise himself as a reporter from the Planet Daily and follow his new girlfriend Louise Liann to search for big news all over the world.
It can be said that compared to the life he used to help on his own farm, Clark is now living a fulfilling life every day.
Well, as for how he and Louise became lovers, that's another story. To sum up, it's just a little bit after spending a night with a lonely young man...
Hey, this plot seems a bit familiar.
In short, Clark is not disgusted with this relationship. When he is with Louise, he always closes his super senses to avoid seeing Louise's not beautiful pores, those body odors and hearing some bad sounds.
But how to say it, Merlin is right. To a super creature like Clark, if you want to gain a sincere love, you must learn to appreciate the beauty of your soul.
Fortunately, although Louise is not very merciless when she speaks occasionally, the girl's soul is indeed quite beautiful.
At this time, Clark was cruising in the dark night of Mexico at supersonic speeds. His ears trembled slightly, collecting all the information nearby. Soon, he found his target.
In the forest near the swamp below, a group of strange guys were walking quietly with a coma girl. The girl was seriously injured and trapped with a bracelet that was isolated from energy. And most importantly, she had a black head with a trace of purple hair.
That was what Merlin explained, about the most conspicuous characteristics of Ms. Lingdie, well, in addition to that, she also has a good figure, wearing a black leather jacket similar to a female ninja, and using a samurai sword, which are all very consistent.
"Clang"
Clark changed the direction of his flight and smashed the road of the forest below like a meteor. As the soil splashed, Clark stood up and blocked the group of guys in strange hooded combat uniforms.
He was wearing a blue Kryptonian battle uniform, with a red cloak floating behind him. In the darkness, his face was blocked by the darkness, and his expression could not be seen clearly between the shadows.
"Let her go!"
Perhaps because of the wasted too much time, Louise may find clues at any time, Clark was not polite to speak:
"Then you can get out."
The mysterious people with spirit butterflies looked at each other. The guy at the front of the team spread his arms. As Clark's gaze, six white bone claws pierced out of the skin as the guy's fist muscles twitched.
This scene made Clark stunned for a moment, which reminded him of his "companion" he had seen several times but was not very familiar with, Wolverine Logan, who was also one of the Avengers. The steel claws on that guy's arm seemed to be in this shape.
Next to the guy who looked like Logan, another attacker reached out and uncovered his hood, revealing the tactical eyepieces that were shining on his head, and the other people also made fighting postures.
"boom"
The guy with tactical eyepieces on his head was the first to attack. His eyepieces shot a scorching laser light, hitting Clark's chest, causing Clark's body to shake.
Oh, our attack failed to scratch the enemy's armor, which is really embarrassing...
"Ao!"
The guy who looked like a Wolverine rushed to Clark with a beast-like movement. He waved the bone claws on his hands and stabbed the Kryptonian's abdomen in a staggered manner...
"Click"
A crisp sound.
The six sharp bone claws were broken in one by one due to the huge impact force.
This attack seemed to hit the flesh and blood, but hit the steel of equal volume.
"Bang"
Clark grabbed the guy by the neck, and he said:
"You're just like...you're too far from him."
"Click"
The monkey version of Wolverine's neck was easily broken by the Avengers' No. 1 attacker. Clark let go of his five fingers and the body fell at his feet.
Seeing this scene, the monkey version of Cyclops immediately adjusted the frequency and shot laser light at Clark again, but at the same time, Clark's eyes also became hot, and heat rays shot out from both eyes at the same time, and two red rays collided.
But Clark's rays were obviously stronger. He walked forward with the rays of the monkey Cyclops, and finally easily penetrated the counterfeit tactical eyepiece. The latter covered his eyes and retreated, but was kicked in the chest by Clark. With the sound of the bone breaking, the guy screamed and flew backwards, smashed on a tree, and then there was no sound.
Two attacks, two heads.
The terrifying guy frightened the remaining attackers. The remaining four people turned around and ran away. However, while the soil under Clark's feet collapsed, he appeared like a ghost in front of the monkey beast in a move beyond the speed of sound. The guy with blue mane roared and raised his claws, but was knocked to the ground by Clark's punch.
With his head broken and bloody, the fake beast was lying on the ground. He wanted to struggle, but when he was kicked by Clark, his eyes rolled and he fainted.
"ah!"
The remaining three people became more and more crazy. A woman with long white hair spread her arms and flew into the air. Under her call, the wind was howling and lightning was emitting, which made her look like a goddess of storm.
However, this scene was still too far from the storm caused by the real Storm Girl, and it could not stop Clark's charge at all. Of course, Clark was a real gentleman, and he was still very polite to women.
A few minutes later, Clark punched the diamond-shaped attacker in front of him on the neck. As the diamonds collapsed, the monkey white queen screamed, and her eyes turned, she fainted to the ground.
Well, she was shocked...
"What's going on?"
Clark reached out and picked up the unconscious Ms. Butterfly on the ground. He looked at the three fainted fake X-Men under his feet in confusion, and he whispered:
"It's all like a bad version...Is this an evil test?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked behind him. The fake Wolverine with a broken neck was getting up with difficulty. He indeed inherited Logan's unreasonable self-healing ability.
Clark walked forward, he looked at the young man who had climbed up, and soon he frowned.
He grabbed the guy's neck, grabbed something, and then pulled it out hard.
"Click"
Amid the sound of metal breaking, a strange device with blood was pulled out, which was a pretty precise explosion collar...
"Bang"
Clark tightened his fingers and let the explosion collar explode in his hand. The flame did not hurt his fingers at all. After the explosion collar was torn off, the fake Wolverine lying on the ground raised his head. He tore off his mask and gave Clark an ugly smile on his bloody face.
"Save...they!"
He pointed at his knocked companion, and he knelt on the ground and begged:
"Everyone has an explosion collar...Save them! Please."
———————————————
Thirty minutes later, Merlin arrived in Mexico, and on the other floor of the hotel where Clark and Louise were, he met Clark, who was waiting for him.
"Oh, this dress is good, very formal."
The Kryptonian threw a can of coffee to Merlin, who joked:
"It's like a successful insurance salesman."
"Stop messing around, I just finished a meeting."
Meilin walked to the bedroom of the room and looked inside. Lingdie was lying on the bed and asleep. Well, she seemed to have taken a shower and changed her clothes.
"Louise changed it for her."
Clark leaned against the door and explained to Merlin:
"I lied to Louise to say that it was my informant in Mexico. She was chased because she was suspicious, but she was kind-hearted."
"Well, so she has the beauty of soul, no wonder you would like her."
Meilin looked at Lingdie and whispered:
"Thank you, Clark, you helped me a lot, butterfly, to me, it's very important."
"She is your girlfriend?"
Clark asked:
"Or something else?"
"No, Elizabeth is my friend, who helped me and saved my life."
Merlin explained, and Clark nodded. He knew Merlin was a person who valued these things very much. He did not continue to ask, but pointed to the other side of the hotel room and said to Merlin:
"There are a few prisoners I caught over there. They are all mutants, and they are very similar to the X-Men's abilities, just like the downgrade version. They are controlled and have explosive collars around their necks. I helped them remove them."
"I suspect that it was the product of a ghost biological experiment. The butterfly was attacked, and it is probably because of this reason. She might have known something she shouldn't have known, so she was chased."
"X-Men?"
Merlin frowned, and what Clark described reminded him of the infamous x-weapon plan before.
"You watch here, I'll leave first, Louise is still waiting for me."
Clark patted Merlin on the shoulder and said:
"We'll go out for a walk tonight. If you need help, just call."
"Yeah, go."
Merlin sent Clark to the door, and he walked back to the bedroom, but as soon as he opened the door, a crimson energy blade pressed against his neck.
"Spirit Butterfly...what is this for?"
Merlin felt the scorching light blade pulsing around her neck, and he asked softly:
"Don't you know me anymore?"
"I know you!"
The face was pale and weak, and the face of Lingdie who was holding the wall with her hands was full of seriousness. She stared at Meilin and said:
"But I'm not sure if you are really... I just suffered a big loss because I trusted others. I said, when was the first time we met?"
“1992.”
Merlin said:
“In California, Oakland.”
"What did I call you at that time?"
Lingdie asked again, Meilin curled his lips and said:
"Mr. 5 million."
"Swish"
The beating light blade dissipated, and the butterfly smiled on her pale, bloodless face, but her body also fell to the ground weakly because of forcibly driving energy, and was gently caught by Merlin.
"It's time, I still have to show off."
Meilin shook his head and carried the weak spirit butterfly back to the bed with a princess hug. He sat beside the bed and made a glass of magical spring for the spirit butterfly. He looked at the female mercenary in front of him who had never been so embarrassed. He reached out and pushed the spirit butterfly's scattered hair to his cheek, and threw a healing spell on her, he asked:
"What the hell happened? Who hurt you like this?"
“It’s a mission.”
Lingdie leaned against the head of the bed and said helplessly:
"An employer paid a lot of money to come to Mexico to detect a special place for him. I came here and found that the X-Men was connected to me, of course, a group of fakes."
"Someone is using X-Men genes to create new mutants, and I don't know who is leading this, but there is no doubt that my genes are one of their goals."
Lingdie pulled out a sarcastic smile and said:
"No wonder the employer is so generous, that's what I'm buying my life."
"Oh... I was so careless. In the end, you, the little man, had to save me. Speaking of which, was the macho man your friend just now? Where did you find such a powerful guy?"
Lingdie blinked curiously, and she said:
"Those fakes are bad, but they can't be easily passed on when they join forces."
"Clark, he is my friend."
Lingdie is not an employee of SHIELD, so Merlin cannot tell her Clark's identity. Merlin just used a friend's words to overturn Lingdie's questions. Of course, what he was even more curious about was who made Lingdie look so weak now.
He asked:
"So who seriously hurt you? Don't tell me it's those fakes."
"No, no."
Lingdie leaned her head against Meilin's shoulder and she whispered:
"It's a weird guy, he...he can fly, he is extremely powerful and invulnerable. With a golden trident, his brain doesn't seem to be very useful, it seems to be controlled, he has a bad temper, but he is very powerful."
"Oh, by the way, I heard him call himself the 'King of the Seven Seas'."
