Chapter 329 28. The "secret treasure" of the Stark family
After several hours of driving, the spider car full of people finally arrived at today's camp site when night fell. It was a wasteland gathering point nearly 100 kilometers northeast of Hammerfall.
It's as messy and dirty as Hammerfell.
But the good news is that there are no gangsters around here, because the K team has entered the sphere of influence of the "Ant Gang".
According to "Wasteland Baixiaosheng" Eagle Eye, this area is the "most orderly" place in the entire wasteland. The Ant Gang rules here in a cruel and efficient way, and rejects the intervention of all external forces.
Although it is still poor and difficult, as long as the people here feel at ease to make offerings every month, at least they don’t have to worry about dying.
The spider car stopped in front of the only "bar" at the gathering point, which had already been bought by the rich and powerful Barbara with several boxes of compressed biscuits and purified water.
Hawkeye, who had just endured the "torture" of the bone spirit, struggled to get out of the car with the help of the old wolf. Facing Barbara who came to greet him, Harley dragged Ashley Parker, who was covered but still struggling, He vividly told Batgirl everything they encountered in the canyon.
When she heard that the filial daughter in front of her was trying to show her strength by killing her biological father, Barbara looked at Ashley with disgust and contempt.
People in the Bat-family can't hear this the most.
However, out of humanitarian considerations, Barbara reached out and tore the tape off Ashley Parker's mouth. This wasteland bully chick didn't care about other people looking at her. She looked at her immediately after she was able to speak. To Mason walking to the bar.
She shouted hoarsely:
"You are a powerful person! You are the leader, I want to join you! I want to share your strength"
"I'm not interested in crazy people."
Mason waved his hands without looking back and said:
"Harry will check her to see if she has any psychological problems. Tonight, Barbara will take care of her. If she dares to be a monster, she will be beaten severely by me."
"No, you can't trust Clint Barton!"
Ashley Parker shook her head and shouted:
"That man lied to you. When he left my mother and me, he said that he wanted to bring hope back to this hopeless world. He went to the no-man's land in South America to find the Avengers' secret treasure!
He's back now, which means he's found it, boss!
This news is enough for you to accept me, that is the most valuable treasure in this wasteland.”
"boom"
Barbara, who couldn't listen anymore, cut her neck with her palm, and dragged the crooked spider girl to the second floor of the bar like Harry.
They have to treat her wounds and give her a bath.
Look at her dirty mud monkey look, it's like rolling in a pit.
As for the "Avengers Secret Treasure" that Ashley just mentioned, Mason didn't stop. The goods that Hawkeye delivered this time were in his luggage.
If Eagle Eye really found the so-called treasure, it must be in that box.
But Mason is not interested in any of these right now.
He greeted the team members who were sitting at the cramped and dimly lit bar and enjoying the weird "Wasteland Dinner", and then went to the room on the second floor by himself.
Take out the alchemy workbench, and then take out the Magneto helmet found in the canyon gang.
He wants to crack the secret of this helmet as soon as possible.
This thing is really unusual. It is definitely the most valuable trophy that Mason can find on this "journey home". Most importantly, this thing has extraordinary commemorative value for all mutants.
The dark red helmet was designed by Magneto to look very elegant yet powerful. From this detail, it can be seen that Lao Wan in this world is also an absolute scene person.
After being washed with Stark's mecha cleaning fluid, Mason put the dark red helmet, which was clean and odorless, in front of his eyes.
The information tab pops up:
Helm of the Black Emperor
Quality: Legendary Forged Item·Perfect Craft
Traits: Psychic Protection · Permanent Magnet · Power Boost · Never Wear
Special effects:
1. Mental isolation:
Magneto specially made this helmet to fight against his best friend and old enemy Professor X. It uses magnetic field as a means to re-smelt steel, and achieves special arrangement at the atomic level to make the item have the power of isolation.
When wearing the helmet, the user is immune to all mind control, mind peeping and charm interference effects, and remains in a [awake] state at all times.
2. Permanent magnet:
Magneto's special ability makes the helmet that he never leaves his body also have certain characteristics.
When wearing this helmet, the power of the user's energy attacks (including magic effects) will be enhanced, because it comes with a stable and indestructible magnetic field interference, so the user cannot be tracked and located by any electronic device.
When attacked by electromagnetic weapons, the helmet can give the user the [Attack Deflection] effect.
Producer: "Magneto" Eric Lanciel
Item description: Although Lao Wan never took off his helmet, Magneto is an elegant gentleman who is so strict with his hygiene habits that he is almost a clean freak, so you don’t have to worry about any hair oil and dandruff remaining on the helmet.
hint!
When the forging skill reaches Lv4, you can try to learn the smelting formula of the special material of the helmet.
"Hat, I think you might be retiring."
Mason played with the not heavy but very textured helmet in his hand, and whispered to the sorting hat on the other side of the workbench:
"Look at this helmet, it's much stronger than you in every sense."
Facing Mason's ridicule, the Sorting Hat protruded a vague human face on its own hat, and responded with a few sneers:
"It's really powerful, but I don't believe you can take it with you when you take a shower, and the Occlumency I gave you is long-term effective, besides, can it hallucinate?
Does it have such an elegant shape as mine?
Can it have a thousand-year history like mine?
Anyone with a brain knows which hat you should choose between me and it."
"You are just bullying this Black Emperor Helmet who can't speak."
Mason complained.
Of course he was just joking. Lao Wan’s helmet can be used in battle, but it’s so uncomfortable to wear normally. The soft material of the sorting hat is more comfortable to wear.
"The current forging skill is Lv2+1, which is still one level short."
Mason stroked the helmet in his hand and thought:
"This kind of production material that can weaken or even isolate the power of the mind is very rare, and must be mastered as soon as possible. In the future, the battle suits made for the members of the K team will have to add this material to avoid being secretly shady.
As we all know, those who play with psychic power are hard to guard against, and not every psychic manipulator is as ethical as Professor X.
It would be difficult to deal with a mess like the purple man. "
"Someone is approaching outside the door, Mason."
The hat suddenly reminded me, the captain nodded, put Magneto's helmet by his hand, pulled out a silver pistol from his waist, and pointed at the door.
A few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.
"Hello, Mr. Mason, I'm Sonny, the owner of Stark Bar, and I'll bring you a midnight snack."
A flattering voice sounded outside the door, Mason blinked and said:
"come in."
The door was pushed open, and the fat boss walked in with a dinner plate. His flattering face immediately frightened when he saw the black muzzle of the gun in Mason's hand.
He held up the plate and raised his hand, shouting:
"No! I have no malice. I even used the best ingredients in the cold storage to cook myself. I just want to get closer."
"He's lying."
Mason said coldly with the hat in his hand:
"His thinking activities are quite violent, and it's not just because of fear. He has other purposes. Maybe you should give him a shot to calm him down."
"I say it! I say it all!"
The owner of Stark Bar, Sonny Stark, saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he frowning and moved his fingers nervously, and said to Mason:
"I am... I want to ask for your help, big unknown.
I just heard your team members complain about some things during the meal. If they were not joking, then you should all come from another world, and you have saved some people in Hammerfall before.
I would like to ask you to show mercy and take me and my family out of this wasteland.
I mean, leave forever!
Facing this request, Mason was noncommittal.
He looked the fat boss up and down, noticing that although this guy was down and out, he was still trying to maintain what little decency he had left.
At least the clothes are worn out but clean, and they even try to maintain the habit of wearing shirts.
His hygiene habits are obviously better than 99% of the guys in this wasteland.
"What's your relationship with Tony Stark?"
Mason asked a question.
Sonny was a little nervous, but he still stammered honestly:
"He is my uncle, my grandfather is Howard Stark's distant cousin, and later the family moved here and has been working in the Stark Group.
Uh, it’s a job, but it’s actually a salary for nothing. Although there is no real power, at least the quality of life is great.
I spent my childhood in a villa in California, until I was 22 years old and finished my studies, when I was ready to really start having fun, the **** nuclear war happened.
My uncle Tony died in the chaos, and so did my aunt. Anyway, it was a terrible tragedy. "
"Still not telling the truth!"
There is no need for a hat reminder this time, Mason who picked up the penguin umbrella and activated the golden apple can feel that Sonny is still hiding something.
But he didn't yell anymore, but said in a gentle tone:
"You are now fighting for a ticket to another world, Brother Sonny, I think you should be more honest, what do you think?"
"I, I didn't hide it on purpose."
Sonny gritted his teeth and said:
"Please come with me. There are some things you have to see with your own eyes. Although I am not a good person, I am not just begging you for my own well-being."
"oh?"
Mason is interested.
He wears Lao Wan's helmet, Isu battle armor and shroud cloak. He has the feeling of being the Magneto Youth Plus version. In addition, he also has a gravity ring, so he can really live a life if necessary. Cos addiction.
He followed Sonny through a trap in the bar and went underground.
This underground area is quite large, and there are traces of precision machinery everywhere. It looks like a secret base of Iron Man, but it is obviously completely abandoned and used as a shelter and residential area.
In the deepest part of this small base, Mason saw a biological cabin that was still in operation.
He stepped forward to look at the glass of the biological cabin, and saw a dormant little girl in it, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was wearing a rather unique set of Mark series armor, but it was so dilapidated that she must have suffered suffered serious damage.
"This is Morgan Jr., Uncle Tony's daughter and my cousin."
Sonny stood beside the biological cabin a little sadly, he said:
"She was the one who escorted our whole family here from the place where the nuclear war broke out, but she was also wounded by the pursuers sent by the **** Red Skull, so she had to enter the biological cabin to 'hibernate'.
There is no way to cure her in this **** world, I can only watch my cousin weaken day by day.
I have no skills, just a playboy.
But I am also a member of the Stark family. I must protect her and find a way out for her and my family. Please, Mr. Mason, take us away.
This world has long been **** hopeless! "
"Why didn't you go to the transfer seventeen years ago?"
Mason says:
"As Stark's family, they will not refuse your asylum request."
"That's Uncle Tony sent us a message before he died."
Sonny hesitated, and whispered:
"Uncle Tony said that all this is a conspiracy, let us not trust those outsiders, if I am not forced by the cruel life, I will not choose to believe you at this time.
You saved someone in Hammerfell, and I met Mrs. May Parker.
She lived here for a while.
She assured me that you are good people, which made me make up my mind. "
"Well, this thing is getting more and more interesting."
What Sonny Stark said made Mason squint his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, before sending them here, the swordsman said that this was the place she knew that the Council of Hope had saved before it fell.
Hunter also said that the stars will be a righteous organization for a while, and old A is even more proud of this and tries to persuade Mason to change course and follow him.
But now it seems that there is a sea hidden in this early "justice".
"I know I can't let you work for nothing, so I prepared this."
Seeing Mason thinking, Sonny thought that this mysterious outsider was considering whether to help his big family. Although he was a failed bar operator, he was a businessman after all, so he gritted his teeth and took out his last hole card.
That's a box.
After being opened, what was revealed was a sophisticated device that looked like a processor. He said to Mason:
"Uncle Tony left this in the base. I don't know what it is, but Little Morgan told me not to touch it before hibernation."
"This is a data sandbox."
Mason has been exposed to a lot of high technology, and he can identify its usefulness after a casual look. He said:
"It's a device used to run some special programs that can't be connected to the outside world. This thing looks interesting. I'll keep it. Go and pack it up."
He said to the surprised Sonny:
"I will give you two options. One is the wasteland world where civilization still exists. Although life is hard there, there is enough order and armed forces to avoid too much danger.
The other is a prosperous society about to be invaded.
You can have a good time in it, fulfilling the dream of drinking and drinking that you didn't realize when you were twenty-two years old, but the price may be that you may encounter danger. "
"I choose the second!"
Sonny said impatiently:
"I've had enough of the **** post-apocalyptic world, I just want to indulge now, I don't care how long I live! But my family and little Morgan are going to be sent to the first world.
They have suffered too much with the incompetent me.
They need a peaceful and undisturbed life to heal them. "
"It's quite a lot to ask, but it's OK."
Mason took the processor, waved to Sonny and said:
"Go to Barbara, she will arrange it for you, but you have to stay in my suitcase factory for a few days first, there is a nice house there, let's rest there first.
As for Morgan Stark."
He glanced at the young girl in the biological cabin, shrugged and said:
"It's not my turn to take care of people with her background. Some people will do their best to save her."
While speaking, Mason activated the sandbox processor in his hand. A row of small lights flickered rhythmically, and a hoarse mechanical voice sounded from it after a few seconds:
"Who are you?"
"and who are you?"
Mason asked back.
After a few seconds of silence, the latter replied:
"My name is Ultron, to be precise, it is the last copy program left by Ultron's main program after it was destroyed by a nuclear war and the network died out.
It's your turn, stranger. "
"My name is Mason, a B-level member of the Stars Club, and the captain of Team K."
Mason held the sandbox processor in his hand, he said:
"Can you tell me what happened that night?"
"betray!"
Ultron's voice became weaker as if it lacked energy. It said:
"Betrayed from the heart of the world, stabbed in the back by those who trusted most, Tony Stark and the order he tried to protect are all sacrificed
The enemy is the Illuminati! !
Insufficient energy, energy is shutting down."
