Several figures were running hastily on the street. Riley looked back at the army of monsters behind him. The leading woman had red hair and held a walkie-talkie in her hand. The one on the helicopter was wearing a uniform and was shooting a bow and arrow.
Natasha and Barton, well done, even SHIELD can't escape, Riley thought through gritted teeth, and they also have advanced equipment, and they still have the brains to control these equipment.
"This can't continue like this!" Xu Shangqi shouted at him: "Our energy will be exhausted and our bullets will be gone. We have to get rid of them first!"
"They have planes and bombs." Rocket Raccoon, who was being held by Quill, yelled: "Separate people to break up the rear, and then another group of people run away!"
"This is not a good idea." Quill immediately covered Rocket Raccoon's mouth and said, "They discovered our abnormality and discovered that we will not be infected by madness. They will not let any of us go. They are dividing their troops.
In this regard, they have an advantage over us."
The explosion sound of "boom boom boom" came from behind, and Quill had to cover his mouth and nose to prevent being choked by the smoke, and Riley turned around and shouted: "You're right, we can't stop moving at high speed, they
There are snipers."
Xu Shangqi gritted his teeth. He could feel that his depleted energy was not enough to support him running at such a high speed. He took a deep breath, looked at Riley and said, "Give me 30 seconds, and I can take you all away."
."
"What are you going to do?"
"Create a formation to trap them, but it takes time to form an formation."
"Quil, you and Jessica guard the right wing, and I guard the left wing!"
They had no more time to hesitate, because everyone knew that running like this would not work, and when they stopped, they found that their idea was right, because the monsters following them had formed an army.
A superhero with tentacles growing out of his head, an agent with a tumor on his waist, a policeman with his lower body transformed into a bug, flying a plane, sitting in a police car, aiming his gun, roaring wildly, the chaos is like a real doomsday.
In fact, they should have thought long ago that the absence of mental attacks does not mean the absence of danger. The biggest danger in this world is that there are too many of them.
After being alienated, the superheroes retained a certain degree of intelligence in addition to their madness, and so did the agents and police. This allowed them to use modern weapons, and the situation faced by these few people was no different than being wanted by the whole world.
How could it be better to be hunted down by the whole of New York?
What's even more troublesome is that the Scarlet Witch, who has large-scale attack means, is no longer here, and Jarvis is also separated. The remaining few people have no choice but to flee all the way against this large-scale modern weapon bombing.
Monsters kept coming at them. Riley, Jessica and Quill tried their best to block all the monsters, leaving Xu Shangqi time to form. Natasha, with red eyes, hung on the ladder of the helicopter and used a sharp
The voice shouted:
"Stop resisting and embrace the truth of the universe!"
"The truth of the universe is that you are a fucking bitch!!!" Quill shook off a monster's tentacles and roared, all kinds of swear words kept spraying from his mouth, Rocket Raccoon even more so.
30 seconds seemed as long as 30 years passed. Riley was shot at least three times. Fortunately, when he went to the Rocky Mountains to investigate, he was wearing the uniform provided by Nick. The uniform made by Asgard can easily protect against human bullets.
But the shrapnel from the grenade still scratched his calf.
Quill was already suffering from a concussion, and he was hit again on the shoulder. The bullet failed to cause a penetrating wound and got stuck in the muscle, but it made him more painful.
Finally, with Xu Shangqi's roar, several rays of golden light spread out from his feet until they covered half of the street, draining the last bit of energy from his body. He stamped his foot and shouted: "Sleepy!!!"
"
As the golden light flowed, all the monsters seemed to have pressed the pause button, but no one was in the mood to appreciate the gorgeous spells. The moment the monsters were trapped, they turned around and ran away, getting away from all their pursuers as quickly as possible.
Sight.
"I really should learn a magic technique." Leaning against the cold wall of the sewer, Xu Shangqi complained: "If I could teleport, I wouldn't have to put in so much effort."
Riley was treating Quill's wounds. He shook his head and said, "Stop complaining. The deal is done. Let's think about what to do next. We can't possibly deal with so many monsters."
"The Sorcerer Supreme is really prescient." Quill took a breath and said, "It's not unreasonable for him to destroy the monsters in the entire world. How can you escape from their clutches?"
"Did you hear what they just said?" Rocket Raccoon jumped on Quill's shoulder and said, "That's what the red-haired woman shouted to the guy who was shooting arrows, 'The Immortal God of Endless Proliferation.' That's probably
The name of the mastermind behind this."
"I have never heard of this demon." Quill shook his head, pushed back the broken hair on his forehead, and said: "But this is a very uncreative name. Most demons can live forever, unless
They were unlucky enough to be caught by the Sorcerer Supreme."
"The key is proliferation." Jessica added firewood to the fire and said: "I discovered it when the mutation occurred. Tumors began to appear in many people's bodies until they swelled to the point where they could no longer move, and then they were killed by that group of people.
Crazy destructive superheroes smashed into pulp."
"That's probably a loser." Riley no longer wanted to read the indifference in his tone. He just said straightforwardly: "Not everyone can accept that kind of crazy power. Superheroes can survive evolution because they
It’s already strong.”
"What are you going to do?" Jessica put her hand close to the fire and said, "If you have a way to get out of here, then leave quickly. There is no need to get involved here. This universe is completely hopeless."
"The problem is that we can't leave." Xu Shangqi sat down and said, "We are also trapped here, and obviously we have run out of ammunition and food."
The atmosphere became silent. They all knew that what Xu Shangqi said was right. Manpower was sometimes scarce. They could handle three battles in one day, but they could not handle thirty or three hundred battles.
They have attracted the attention of these monsters, then the monsters will definitely hunt them to the end. Now they understand what it is like to be hunted by SHIELD and the Avengers. The key is not whether they can defeat one or two, but
Once you show up, you have to face a large crowd.
In this situation where the gap in strength and numbers is too large, wisdom will improve their situation, but it cannot completely reverse the situation.
After being silent for a long time, Riley suddenly said: "We may need power, no, it's not possible, we just need power, more powerful power."
Jessica couldn't understand the silence of the three men, but she still had a kind of sensitivity that was unique to women, so she leaned forward slightly and asked in a tentative tone: "Is there anything you can do?"
"Maybe there is, but it may cause greater dangers, more terrifying dangers than what we are encountering now, more terrible dangers than you can imagine."
Jessica pursed her lips and said, "Will this allow you to survive?"
"It will keep us alive."
"You don't have to include me. I said this universe is rotten. I will die sooner or later, and I have wanted to die for a long time." There was no trace of the self-destructive tendency in Jessica's tone.
Quill grinned with a sarcastic smile and said: "You said that when I look directly into their eyes, I will be infected by madness, but today I stared at that bitch's eyes and greeted all her relatives.
, and I didn’t feel anything getting into my brain.”
Jessica stared at him like he was a madman, because Quill's face had that hungry look on his face that's common to alcoholics, and it was like saying, "Can't we have something strong?"
"Sooner or later." Jessica hugged her legs and shivered and said, "I have already felt it, felt those whispers, they are surrounding my ears."
"Did you hear anyone singing?" Riley asked, looking at her.
Jessica shook her head and said: "I didn't even hear any sound, just some trivial friction sounds. Maybe those were all imagined by me."
"What did he say to you?" Xu Shangqi asked.
"There are no sentences that can be understood."
Jessica finally felt something was wrong. She stared at the flames and felt a little dizzy. She felt colder and colder, and then she began to tremble non-stop, with tears rolling in her eyes.
The girl looked into their eyes with tears in her eyes and said, "Actually, you have been infected a long time ago, right? That's why you didn't go crazy."
"It was just a dream." Quill leaned his head against the cold wall and said, "It can't even be called a nightmare, it's just bizarre and weird."
"But it allows us to find a way to break through the predicament." Riley also stared at the flames and said. Jessica trembled with fear, but she couldn't help but ask in the same trembling tone: "What is that?"
"The Stars Call."
Xu Shangqi sat cross-legged and said: "They are not a certain voice, a certain gaze, or some hallucinations, they have left knowledge in our minds."
"If we take the initiative to read this knowledge." Riley swallowed and said, "Then we can face the truth again, and we can hear the call of the stars again. We can take the initiative to sacrifice in exchange for power."
"It sounds too dangerous." Jessica shook her head vigorously and said, "You really don't need to do this. Why not hide here and find a way to escape from here."
"We have deeper worries than you, miss." Riley looked into Jessica's eyes and said, "The disaster in this universe is likely to spread. I have this hunch, and my hunch has always been accurate."
"We have to do something about them before they make such a terrible decision."
"What do you want to do?"
"Join them with a madness deeper than theirs."
Just as Jessica was about to speak, Riley looked at her and explained gently: "I believe there is more than one mastermind behind the scenes, because this is not the first crazy universe we have experienced, and my experience tells me that these masterminds are similar.
But they are different, and there are differences."
"The monster in this universe has become the dependent of a god, then we can become the dependent of other gods that are stronger and greater than him, and then stop their crazy behavior."
"How can you be sure you won't be as crazy as them?"
"We've already tried it."
Jessica knew she was powerless to stop her, so she said, "Do you need any help?"
"Get out of here, go to the entrance, and let us know once it gets completely dark."
"good."
After Jessica left, the three of them exchanged glances. Apparently they all saw the anger in each other's eyes, both for those who had trampled on the dignity of the superheroes and for their powerless and weak self.
Once they realize their own weakness, human beings will become surprisingly angry and then become crazy. It is a kind of calm madness. When mountains are opened or water is cut off, nothing can stop the footsteps of weak humans.
After Jessica's voice came, they knew it was completely dark. Riley closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and some broken tunes came out of his mouth, and then became smoother and smoother.
Getting louder and louder.
Xu Shangqi recalled the feeling of his stomach being clenched, and the words that he wanted to blurt out from his mouth came to his mind again.
Quill clenched his arm, and a mysterious pattern woven into the blood-red muscle texture and blackened blood kept flashing before his eyes.
When they simultaneously called to the stars, the stars answered them, and one of the stars stretched out his arms and embraced them.
In the protective and hazy hallucination, they found that they had become a fragile seedling, and the gardener was cutting off the excess branches, allowing them to go through wind and frost, and shaping them into the solid seedlings they wanted.
As they continue to grow upward, thirsting for sunshine, rain and dew, and the endless starry sky, the great existence deep in the stars finally responds to the call of the sprouts, bringing them breeze and drizzle, as well as the cold, moist, and ubiquitous nameless fog.
.
After the hallucination dissipated, Xu Shangqi found himself in an empty space full of fog, with a thick fog above his head that never dissipated, and an empty island beneath his feet.
When I walked to the edge of the island and looked down, I saw a huge city hidden in the endless mist.
Standing above the city, Xu Shangqi finally spit out the words that had been lingering in his heart——
"Carcosa... Lake Harry in the Aldebaran system... the dark sun is already high in the sky..."
He turned around and saw the huge black sun rising in the deepest part of the thick fog.
