Chapter 168 51. But is it all worth it? (manual dog head)
In the room above the main control room of the Osborne Tower, the old Norman Osborn was standing in front of the wall full of surveillance cameras like a voyeur.
This guy who was very weak in the communication to Ertong just now crossed his arms crossed in a fit of spirit, and what was reflected on the screen in front of him was Ertong cutting off Bai Ghost's head, and imitating The gory scene of the master being pinned to the ground by Peter the crazed tarantula.
On the ground behind the Green Goblin lay two **** corpses.
Those were the two Cleaner commanders he killed. They were guys who were responsible for the cross-world communication and contact system. Killing them can effectively prevent what happened here from being discovered by the Cleaner headquarters.
Although I don’t know how true what the old Green Goblin said before, just judging from his arrangement, it doesn’t look like it’s a lie that this guy said he would resist the Stars and the Cleaners.
Judging from his relaxed posture, it wasn't a mistake here that caused the three commanders to escape just now, but it was more like they were let out deliberately by Old Norman.
"White Specter is dead, the master of imitation has been dismembered, and now only Assault Commander Crossbones is still active, that guy is trying to regroup and launch a counterattack.
However, the demon crawling out of **** has already regarded these mad dogs as snacks.
It's really hard for these young people to persuade Connors. I went to see the stubborn ghost three times in person and couldn't finish a full conversation with him. "
The Green Goblin snapped his fingers, allowing the wall in front of him to monitor the whole picture of Osborn Tower.
He looked admiringly at the lizardmen rushing in under the heavy rain and fire in the night, and finally, his eyes fell on Mason who drove the anti-superman armor through the wall all the way to Barbara Gordon's position Cooper.
The old fox stared at the figure of the captain of Team K on the screen, and he whispered:
"This guy has some skills, no wonder he was sent to execute the Sandman. We lost the Hydra team, which is a heart-wrenching loss. It takes more than time to develop a B-rank team.
But it is also a good thing that we can get stronger support.
Otto, I know you're eavesdropping.
Tell me.
Give your opinion. "
"I think you should curb your bad habits. Did you let the 'Green Goblin' come out again?"
Dr. Octopus sounded in Norman Osborn's office through the remotely cracked speaker with a complaining voice, and he said:
"You are fully capable of cleaning up those five guys here. Obviously, everything is going in a good direction, but you insist on making so many moths."
"No, it's necessary."
Old Norman rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and said:
"For what we've been doing, I have to make sure everything is solid. I'm satisfied that K-Squad has the will to resist and not be afraid of the Cleaners, but they can't be weak either.
The weak can't go far in the All-Stars.
Don't worry, I'll make it up to them, that Mason seems to be an organized person.
It's you, Otto.
I invited you to join the project three years ago, you not only refused but also ran away secretly, which shows that you had no confidence in our ideas at that time, what about now?
Why do you want to help Team K now? Did he really see some 'justice' or 'conscience' in this Mason? "
"I was forced out by you, Norman!"
Dr. Otto said bitterly:
"I'm hiding well underground, but your broken machine is going to bury me, and I just entered your database, and I found that you are using gravitonium to make some dangerous weapons.
So I guess, even without the unexpected factor of K-Squad, you would still find a way to launch a siege of the Cleaners, right? Is your plan not going well?
It seems that those pioneer teams of yours haven't contacted you for a long time? Or maybe you upgraded the communication system so that I can no longer monitor the conversation between you? "
Facing this question, the old Green Goblin spoke with a hint of sadness after several seconds:
"Hate alone won't bring the survivors together, Otto, especially when our enemy is a colossus that spans countless worlds and grows every day.
Everyone is afraid, especially after experiencing the end.
That's instinct.
Fear is followed by shrinking back. The original vow is losing courage in the face of cold reality.
I admit that our little organization is falling apart, and Hydra is the only team I still have full control over, but they too were buried by Mason.
That's why we need Mason and the forces behind him.
With their help, I can bring back those 'wanderers' who want to forget the past. They may want to start a new life, and I hope to bless them.
But that must be after we have the power to choose. "
"I advise you to be honest."
Dr. Octopus reminded:
"If Mason is indeed the last hope to save all your plans, then you should tell him the truth, I don't think this young man will give up on you just because you don't have any cards in your hand now.
Otherwise he wouldn't risk execution here with us against the Cleaners.
Mason and his team members did not choose to help us because of the exchange of benefits you mentioned. Before you came forward, he had already made his own arrangements for our miserable world.
Factors involving you just hastened his decision.
I can be sure of that. "

"Boom"
The kinetic energy shotgun in the hands of Barbara Gordon opened fire in the small beehive apartment. The deafening sound almost deafened people's ears. A group of cleaners and biochemical soldiers who rushed into the room were hit by flying broken bullets. It flew up in the air, and when it landed, it hit the opposite wall to complete a "horror decoration".
However, just a powerful weapon is not enough to protect Batgirl at this time.
Especially when Barbara's microcomputer is still manipulating city defense weapons, she has to allocate part of her attention to provide fire support for the underground people and shelter soldiers fighting fiercely in the city.
"Get lost!"
Batgirl threw two explosive bat darts towards the door in the room full of gunpowder, blowing out several cleaners who tried to rush into the room again.
Then she heard the roar of a beast.
The liquidators who parachuted down from the upper floor were injected with cannon fodder strengthening agents, and one by one jumped in along the window with their muscles stretched and their eyes red.
What greeted these frenzied beasts were erected black muzzles.
Barbara emptied the four bullets in the gun chamber in one breath, blasting those guys and half of the wall apart. While reloading the weapon, she sent the tactical nuclear bomb in the Osborne tower arsenal into the launch chamber. program.
It is no longer possible to let the reinforcements of the Cleaners enter the Osborne Tower. The casualties sent from all over the place are increasing rapidly. If the enemy comes again, the people of the underground will collapse.
Those lizardmen just look wild and wild, but they were all ordinary people before they changed.
"The launch sequence is about to start! Jane! Clear everyone around the arsenal silo! It's about to open."
Barbara gave a warning to Mary Jane who was fighting in Area A. Just as she entered the launch command, a tall figure drove a black battle armor through the bright night where explosions continued.
The guy smashed the remaining half of the wall with his head, and landed behind Barbara in the splash of bricks and stones. He drew his gun and shot. Batgirl's bulletproof suit saved her life, but the impact of the bullet knocked her down. On the ground, the assailant rushed up and beat him three times and two feet, and retreated in embarrassment.
The batarang thrown by Barbara was dodged by the latter, and he pulled away the fighting stick and beat the opponent with a weapon wrapped in high-voltage electricity.
But the latter completely ignored the tickling attack, and Bully grabbed the Batgirl by the neck and lifted her up in the air.
There was a hint of ruthlessness and chill under the mechanical mask shaped like a demon.
A black plasma shoulder cannon popped out from the shoulder of the black armor, and the red triangle sight landed on Barbara's forehead.
"Your rebellion is quite interesting, the Stars will indeed be a group of unreliable bastards."
A hoarse voice came from under the black helmet, and the commander said in a disdainful tone:
"After the incident is reported this time, maybe we can completely get rid of you disloyal hounds that should rot in the mud, dogs that even dare to bite their masters!
What use do you need? "
"You behind you!"
Barbara, who was about to die, struggled and rolled her eyes and said something.
"You think I'm going to be fooled like this? Do you think I'm a street gangster?"
Crossbones sneered and said:
"Now, remember your loved ones and die."
"铛"
The black steel fingers tapped on the shoulder armor of Crossbones. If you don’t consider the brutal sparks when the other hand armor tore apart the plasma shoulder cannon, this scene actually looks like a joke between good friends.
This caused the Cleaner Assault Commander's face to change drastically.
He threw Barbara to the side high altitude and let her fall to death, turned around and manipulated the arm of the light Mark armor on his body to activate the heavy cannon and fired three shots behind him.
"clang clang clang"
Three groups of dazzling plasma sparks bounced off the thick outer chest armor of the Anti-Superman armor, tearing the outer armor through cracks, but Mason, who was unharmed in the cockpit, moved his body and said:
"The 'ghost' action mode test passed. John, the hidden inscription you helped to engrave works well, thank you."
"You're welcome!"
Jack Kang's voice sounded from beyond the broken wall next to him.
Amid the whistling sound of flying wings beating the air, the ferocious zombie flying dragon Noble carried the black mage and Barbara Gordon, who lay on it and coughed, to the broken wall.
Batgirl glared at Crossbones viciously, and the microcomputer that raised her arm entered a launch command.
The next second, amidst the sound of rocket ignition, a silver-gray missile flew into the night sky from the launch silo in Area A.
"ah!"
Crossbones saw this scene and knew it was over.
But this villain doesn't intend to catch it without a fight. He also has the power armor of the opponent. The one he has in hand is an improved model of the war machine power armor, equipped with the standard Ark reactor, and it is still capable.
"Last item, overload mode detection."
Facing the opponent's stubborn resistance, Mason decisively put the armor into overload.
The tritium energy device on the chest of the armor is a masterpiece of purple light. When it operates at 200% violent energy output, Mason feels that every heavy punch of the armor will make it rattle and almost fall apart.
The two Power Armors then collided together, fighting each other amidst the harsh metal impact.
Zha Kang sent an "assist" in time, and his zombie flying dragon spewed scorching dragon breath forward and set the ruined room on fire, causing the two big guys to roll and hit the rain-covered ground.
Seeing that he might be surrounded and beaten, Crossbones immediately activated the thrusters during the fall, disengaged from contact and flew in the opposite direction in a more flexible posture than Mason, trying to distance himself, but the flames of **** that spewed out from below unexpectedly knocked him away. Burn right.
Itregan, who was enjoying the slaughter, didn't want to be disturbed.
The exterior of Crossbones' power armor was melted almost instantly. He howled out of the flames and was dragged back by the claws shot from below. Then, Mason rode up and pressed the guy like a woman fighting. The overloaded anti-Superman The battle armor swung heavy punches with the strength that a Superman would scream pain when he was hit.
Fourteen or five times later, with the sound of metal shattering, Mason tore off the armor of the crossbones, clasped the energy core hidden under the chest in his hand, and raised one hand casually.
The twisted metal covered the villain who wanted to escape and was thrown into the sky, and was being swallowed by the zombie flying dragon above his head with its mouth open.
"Oye!"
The moment Crossbones was killed, the Sorting Hat worn on Mason's head inside the armor gave out obscene whistles and unconcealed cheers.
Although its world did not die because of these guys in front of them, it is definitely something that makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts to see these **** die tragically.
Mason flicked off the helmet of the armor, and looked at the "baby" tightly clasped in the fingers of the armor, showing a satisfied smile.
He took that thing in his hand, climbed up from the energy-depleted anti-Superman armor, sat on the shoulder of the black power armor, and then saw a mushroom cloud light up in the open sea.
That represented the main base of the Cleaners in this world being wiped out. With the dazzling fire, a symphony of a majestic Valkyrie riding was sung by the Sorting Hat in Mason's mind.
The young man sighed and asked:
"Have you enjoyed it?"
"Well, in Muggle parlance, it's so cool."
Your Majesty the Hat did not hide his current mood at all.
Mason said quietly:
"You're welcome, as long as you're happy, we Muggle servants will clean up the rest of the mess."
"Cool, now we not only betrayed the Constellation, but also fought with the more dangerous Cleaners."
Constantine, who jumped down from behind the zombie flying dragon, stepped on the muddy water soaked in oil and blood and walked to Mason's side. He exhaled a smoke ring and said:
"So? What's next with this mess?"
"You ask me, who do I ask? But you don't think there is any room for relaxation between us and them?"
The captain sitting on the shoulder of the power armor glanced at the sky. The heavy rain just now has turned into small raindrops. Regardless of the war-torn land they are in, it still feels like a gentle wind and light rain.
He said:
"Since you are the enemy from the beginning, and you decide to fight to the end from the beginning, then don't pretend that the world is peaceful. It's just a matter of time."
"I didn't say it was bad."
Jack rolled his eyes, folded his arms and said:
"I just want to ask, you just led us to fight the darkest forces in the galaxy, and the only reward you can get is the gratitude of a group of doomsday survivors.
Is it all really worth it? "
Facing this tricky question, Mason shrugged and replied with a standard chicken soup:
"If you insist on asking such an embarrassing question, I can only answer you, but do a good job, John, and don't ask about your future."
Then he jumped into the muddy water and began to check the situation of the anti-Superman armor, while Zha Kang drove his zombie flying dragon to the other side of the battlefield to finish. He glanced at Barbara who was bandaging his neck behind him, and said :
"Hey, sister, are you okay? I have some unfortunate news for you, our captain is crazy, he actually said what he did tonight was a good thing."
"Even if Bruce were here, he would do the same thing."
Barbara coughed, touched the bruise on her neck and poured a bottle of healing medicine into her mouth. Breathing in pain, she grabbed the shotgun again, and said confidently:
"Although a nuclear bomb was fired, it is indeed a good thing. Listen to the cheers around, John, they like us, and now we are the heroes of this world.
I knew, Batman never misreads people. "
