This was certainly not an illusion of the people of the motherland. Robert, who almost collided with the people of the motherland, drove the black sky dragon wings behind him and quickly passed through half of Gotham City and arrived at Miller's Port.
Miller Harbor is quiet on Christmas night. There is only one ship moored quietly in the dock water area. Apart from the reflection of moonlight on the water, the only light source here is the orange light on the ship.
Robert deactivated the Black Sky Dragon Wings in a nearby alley, and after covering up the damaged areas on his clothes and the eye-catching blood stains, he walked towards the ship casually.
Remembering that this was a ship that sailed at one o'clock in the middle of the night, after being questioned by the ticket inspector, Robert calmly reported Vanessa's name.
The ticket inspector didn't believe it at first, but then told him that a man who called himself "Robert" was asking for a meeting. When Ms. Vanessa looked surprised and happy, even though she was quite suspicious of this disheveled man, she still acquiesced that Robert owned the ticket.
The right to board the ship.
"You..."
"If you have anything to do, let's talk inside." Rob pulled Vanessa into the corridor of the cruise ship's hull.
Vanessa glanced at him with some worry, and took him to Room 502 on the fifth floor: "This presidential room is pretty good, and it's close to the restaurant on the fourth floor, but there is no infirmary on the ship. You
..."
"You don't need to worry about these things..." Robert tore the shirt under his black coat into strips - anyway, it was a shirt stained with blood and with a big hole in it.
After wrapping the strip of cloth around his abdomen and tying it into a tight knot, Robert asked: "Can you help me get my shirt?"
Seeing that Vanessa didn't respond for a long time, Robert, who was packing his black coat, asked again.
When he turned around in confusion, he saw Vanessa full of tears. Although Robert had seen her like this many times, the tears in her eyes were completely different from before, which was enough to make Robert helpless.
Get up.
"You don't need to worry about anything...don't you know how worried I was when that rocket took off?"
Why do you worry about rocket launches...Is this a woman's intuition?
Robert's scalp feels numb.
"That's the Rocket of the Life Foundation, right? I know even if you don't tell me, what did you go and do?" Vanessa bit her lower lip.
"It's nothing more than fighting with some inexplicable monsters. Just like last time, I picked you up in Hell's Kitchen. I said I was passing by there, but I'm not a fool. Anyone with eyesight will definitely think that you have experienced something like this when they see your appearance.
A fight to the death!"
"Just like a knight in the dark, you have done so much, but still act like you have done nothing... Although I don't know why you want to blow up the rocket, but you must have your reasons.
Well, but...but..."
This woman... is really worried about him...
A warm current surged into Robert's heart. For a moment, Robert advanced instead of retreating. Seeing Robert, who had shown weakness in the past, pressing forward step by step, Vanessa's momentum became a little weaker: "From now on, you
..."
Robert smiled: "Do you like the Christmas gift I gave you?"
"Christmas gift?" Vanessa's face changed slightly.
"Christmas Fireworks!"
"Of course, I will give you an extra reward tonight."
"Wait a minute, your wounds haven't healed yet...and you're dirty...go away!"
"You...oh..."
……
Suburbs of Gotham City.
Federation Captain Steve grabbed the shield that was spinning back in his hand, and looked at Carol strangely: "Why didn't the Skrulls run away?"
As Talos, the leader of the secret invasion team, stopped escaping, Steve and Carol also cautiously suspended their pursuit.
Carol stared at the Skrulls who appeared in the bushes one after another, and frowned: "According to the intelligence, the team led by Talos was quite large. Counting those we dealt with, there should be thirty more people.
About 25 people, and there are only twenty-five people here."
"There were five fish that slipped through the net, right?" Steve said.
"Fish? Don't equate us with inferior creatures." Talos sighed sadly.
His dark eyes were full of arrogance, and he said calmly: "If you two are willing to stop fighting, we don't want to be enemies with you. At least tonight, we won't be fighting each other."
"Tonight?" Steve captured the point accurately.
Carol also frowned and said: "The hatred between us has become irreconcilable. You Skrulls have lost their homeland and plan to occupy the earth, and our Kree Empire and your Skrull Empire are even more incompatible."
Talos drooped his eyelids: "That's why we say it's tonight. We don't need to fight tonight."
"Tonight, tonight, what else is special about tonight except that it's Christmas Eve?" Steve said to himself while informing Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD, on the other end of the intercom.
"Wait a minute," Nick Fury suddenly screamed on the other end of the intercom, "There's a rocket rising in the northwest suburbs of Gotham City!"
"Where is this rocket...check it out for me!"
"This is a rocket from the Life Foundation! What is Drake doing launching a rocket at this time?!"
After hearing this, Steve couldn't help but look to the high altitude in the northwest. Among the dancing trees, he did see the rocket slowly rising into the sky. The orange jet-like flame was particularly conspicuous in the dark night sky. As long as he looked at it, he could see it.
If you put it in that area, it would be difficult for people not to see it.
Carol followed Steve's gaze and her eyes condensed slightly.
"Could it be..."
"Have you noticed? Yes, that rocket, that's what you call it, right? That rocket is loaded with various sample information collected by our team on the earth. As long as it is within a certain area, the empire can
By then, our team will not be the only ones coming to Earth."
Talos said calmly: "It's the empire's space fleet."
"This guy!" Steve's forehead veins were trembling.
"He never wanted to start a fight with us from the beginning. Instead, he made up his mind to lure us into the wilderness and not focus on the rocket."
Carol clenched his fists and added: "Moreover, he succeeded. It seems that even SHIELD didn't care about it."
"In other words, I didn't expect them to cooperate with the Life Foundation."
"I didn't expect that just tonight, the Life Foundation would launch a rocket into space."
……
"What? The rocket takes off?!"
After confirming again and again that he heard correctly, Daily Bugle Director Jonah Jameson turned his sights out of the floor-to-ceiling window. In the northwest high altitude, a rocket slowly rose as the informant said.
"Hurry up and film it, this is big news!"
"That direction...that's right, it's the rocket launched from the base of the Life Foundation. Good guy, hurry up, hurry up! Call in the manpower immediately, we will definitely get the first-hand news!"
"Director, the rocket exploded!"
"Huh?!" Jonah paused as he packed up the information on the table. He subconsciously looked up again. At this moment, the head and shoulders holding the phone had completed their mission. Jonah let the phone fall to the ground: "
This is really big news!"
In the corner of the Daily Bugle,
A cluster of wall-creepers opens quietly in the darkness.
Perhaps only at the moment when the rocket exploded,
Only then can it shine with glory in the darkness in the reflection of firelight.
