Chapter 1391 The Call of the Stars (Seventeen)

 "Can we really survive?"

Rocket Raccoon stood on the edge of the sink. He asked a little dejectedly, then turned his head and cast his gaze on Star-Lord Quill's arm. The lower half of the sleeve there was empty.

Rocket Raccoon closed his eyes, pressed his eyelids with his paws, and said painfully: "I can't believe it. Just a few hours ago, you performed an amputation on yourself here. You really, you really

…”

Rocket Raccoon couldn't say the last half of his sentence. He actually wanted to ask "Are you really awake?", or rather, he wanted to ask "Are you crazy?", but when he thought of everything Quill had encountered,

In fact, it was all his fault, and he couldn't ask these tough questions.

What happened the night before was too terrifying. Rocket Raccoon had no idea what Quill saw. He only saw him scratching his arms, shouting frantically, and then twitching in pain and vomiting.

Bai Mo smashed his elbow with a heavy piece of concrete, and then cut off half of his arm.

Rocket Raccoon has traveled around the interstellar society and has seen a lot of terrible things, but this is the first time he has encountered such a weird situation. He can't find the enemy at all, so naturally he has no way to resist.

The raccoon felt extremely guilty for not being able to help, but he couldn't help but give up on himself. He flicked his tail helplessly and said, "Maybe it will be me tomorrow night, maybe we will all die here?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Quill used his only remaining hand to shave his stubble with a razor blade in front of the mirror on the bathroom sink.

His expression was not filled with bitterness and hatred, but on the contrary, there was a certain lightness to it. When the sun shone on him, it seemed even more incompatible with the depressing atmosphere around him.

"Actually, I already have some ideas." Quill tilted his head from side to side, touching his smooth chin in the mirror and said, "Do you feel that there are too few monsters in this world?"

"That's not enough? Do you want them to crowd the world and then swallow us in their stomachs?!" Rocket Raccoon yelled in confusion.

"Didn't you see everything when you came here? Most of the corpses lying on the ground only had part of their torso left. That part is missing. I guess the monster may have hatched from there."

"If everyone is parasitized and a monster hatches, then the number of monsters will be too small. If not everyone is parasitized, then judging from the number of monsters, the survivors cannot be silent."

"Although it's a bit pessimistic, I still tend to think that almost everyone has a monster hatched in their body, but I don't know where these monsters went after leaving the mother's body."

After shaving, Quill walked to the window of the hospital and looked towards the road. There were many monsters dragging some human limbs on the road, but they were not many in number and could not be called dense at all. Moreover, they did not move quickly and their attacks were not strong.

Strong, as if just following instinct to find food.

"I have a weird feeling." Standing in front of the window, Quill said, staring at the broken road: "These monsters produced from the human body are not meant to attack humans. This is not an infectious virus."

"Oh my God! Listen to what nonsense you are talking about!" Rocket Raccoon jumped on Quill's shoulder, turned to look at him and said: "The city has been destroyed like this, and you still want to applaud these monsters?

Can’t do it?”

Quill shook his head and didn't explain any more. He sighed, turned around and started packing with his only remaining hand. But in fact, he didn't have anything to bring, so he used his hand to dig through the patient's personal belongings cabinet.

The big package that came out contained some medical supplies and cans found in the warehouse, and left the hospital with the bag on its back.

Although there are not many monsters on the road, it is still quite troublesome to avoid them. Quill relies on his good skills and mostly moves on the roofs of low buildings. The small rocket launcher loaded on Rocket Raccoon's arm can repel some.

A monster trying to climb up.

In this way, they walked between the houses in Queens, New York. Before the next night, Quayle climbed to the top of a high-rise building in the business district and looked at the entire New York.

"My guess is correct, those monsters are indeed moving in the same direction." Quill stretched out his hand to cover the bright sunlight, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

It is not difficult to come to this result. The remaining traces of mucus on the ground and high buildings alone are enough to show that in the recent period, these monsters have carried out a great migration, and at least 90% of the monsters are heading towards New York.

The past converges at a certain point.

Quill sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not from New York. I don't know where their final destination is. I can only take it one step at a time."

"What is their destination?"

Wanda held Jarvis's hand tightly and asked. At this time, several people had already walked out of the residential area and boarded a building. However, under Xu Shangqi's suggestion, they did not go to the building.

Instead, he climbed to the top, entered an abandoned office, found a room with guardrails in front of the windows and looked out.

Upon hearing Wanda's question, Jarvis's expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure and uttered a few words: "New York Central Park."

"Oh my God, why do monsters want to go there?" Wanda spread her hands and said helplessly: "Don't tell me, they want to go there to enjoy the scenery."

"I think there is something attracting them." Jarvis stared out the window with a serious face. When he was the only intact and unaffected member of the entire team, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the leader.

But he actually didn't want to do this.

For a long time, he was just Stark's assistant. Intelligent life itself is good at following orders and acting. It is the first time for Jarvis to become the leader of a team and have complete decision-making power.

, completely contrary to his instinct.

But he had to do it. His team couldn't be said to be missing arms or legs, it could only be said to be lacking everything but arms and legs. Riley couldn't hear, Wanda couldn't see, Xu Shangqi couldn't speak, and the three of them

At the same time, I will be disturbed by that terrible power, and I wonder if I can survive the next night.

So, Jarvis thought for a while and said: "We should head towards New York's Central Park, but first we should find a car."

The others had no objections, so they went downstairs together. Fortunately, they were not far from an exhibition venue, and there was a car show there.

Several people went to the exhibition hall as quickly as possible, hoping to rescue a intact car. However, unexpectedly, there were not no intact cars at the auto show, but too many, and almost none of them was damaged.

Putting aside the horrible slime and messy corpses on the surface of the car and the surrounding ground, the car was in pretty good condition, and many of the cars used for test drives were full of gas, which really baffled a few people.

Generally speaking, when the end of the world comes, the most vulnerable to destruction are various means of transportation, especially civilian means of transportation. They are not born for defense. A slight bump, the kind of bump that is beyond the scope of ordinary people's strength, can easily cause damage.

Will fall apart.

When a powerful mutant like Wanda fights with others, he will blow up at least a few cars with a wave of his hand. It is obviously abnormal that the cars here can be so well preserved.

"What's going on? Don't those monsters attack cars?" Wanda was confused after hearing Jarvis's description. She continued: "If they attack indiscriminately, then these cars must be easier to damage than buildings. If

If they intend to carry out mass destruction, they will definitely attack vehicles first to prevent humans from escaping."

"They probably weren't thinking about attacking."

Riley only said this sentence and then fell silent, Wanda also fell silent, and Jarvis couldn't understand what riddles they were playing, so he could only find a car that he thought was the most suitable and checked it out.

After checking the condition of the car and finding that there was no problem at all, several people got on the car.

We drove all the way without encountering any monsters, but the doubts in the hearts of several people became more and more intense. The city was destroyed, and everything was dilapidated. It looked like a doomsday scene, but the problem was that there were too few monsters and they were not aggressive.

There was no shortage of supplies, and judging from the state of the corpses, there was no riot.

There are even many shops with generators that still have lights on, and the goods on the shelves are complete and have not been robbed. There are no bullet holes or other wounds caused by modern weapons on the mutilated corpses. This is not logical at all.

If the hatching of this kind of monster is like a zombie virus outbreak, it will definitely cause panic among the crowd. Ordinary people who see the monster will flee in panic. The police will try to maintain public order and attack the monster. If the news spreads, it will cause

Large-scale private hoarding of materials.

But the current scene is like the moment before everyone died, the remaining people were still living normally.

This is even more frightening than that chaotic scene.

The biggest fear comes from the unknown. Several people present have more or less seen the chaotic and dilapidated scenes in some zombie movies. Although it is sad and angry enough, it is not unacceptable, but now this is the calm before the storm.

, but let a deeper fear grow in everyone's hearts.

With a "Zila" sound, the car stopped.

The three people in the team who still had sight looked up and saw a huge temple in the middle of New York's Central Park with a painting style that was completely different from all the surrounding buildings.

"Oh my god, what is this?!" Riley couldn't help but exclaimed. Jarvis blinked, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "It looks like it has some oriental style, wait.

Wait, that decorative pattern should exist in my database... Kama Taj!"

Upon hearing this name, Wanda immediately exclaimed: "Oh, yes, if the world is destroyed, what about the mages? Are the mages still alive?"

"Time Stone, if the Master Supreme still possesses the Time Stone, then maybe we can..."

Wanda's words stopped abruptly, because she thought that if the Master Supreme could really use the Time Stone to reverse the current situation, he would have done it long ago. If he did not do so, it meant that there was no way back.

Wanda took a deep breath, and then sighed again. She held Jarvis's hand tightly, and even half-leaned on him. Miss Witch rarely made such unreserved actions, but she was serious.

Feeling desperate.

Jarvis hugged her, held her back, buried his head in her neck and shoulders, and said, "It's okay, Wanda, we will survive."

"But it's getting dark soon." Wanda said in a tearful tone: "It's getting dark again. Can we really survive this night?"

Xu Shangqi and Riley both seemed a little silent. They had no confidence to answer this question at all. It was only their third day here, but the torture and darkness they had experienced was greater than all they had experienced in their previous lives combined.

need more.

"We will." Jarvis raised his head, quietly watching the sun setting on the skyline, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and then said: "No matter what, I will let you live.

"
