Chapter 536 2. If you are obedient, Senior Scrap will take you to see the goldfish
With the help of Mason, the besieged conqueror rookie escaped the pursuit of the dead from the Black Lantern Legion, but in fact these awakened dead were obviously not the real elite.
Among them, there is not even a leading hero with a name and surname, which is a good example of the problem.
It can also be seen from the military uniforms and standard weapons on these dead people that this should be the creation of ordinary soldiers who died in the war in the previous disputes in this world after being resurrected.
However, due to the strengthening of the Black Lantern Ring and the characteristics of immortality, the difficulty of these guys has increased several times. Naturally, the power from one of the most intense emotions on the emotional spectrum can only be resisted by the same emotional power. Unfortunately, conquering The hunters obviously didn't have the luxury to equip a group of doomed cannon fodder with lantern rings.
After seeing the defense force of this world with his own eyes, Mason also officially confirmed that this operation itself was meaningless. The current miserable chaos is what the conqueror hopes to see.
Of course, this is not to entertain yourself by giving away a head when you have nothing to do.
Mason guessed that this was just an interference tactic, using a lot of cannon fodder to attract attention while buying time for the real main force to hide. It is a very traditional but very effective strategy, and there is no problem except for being cold-blooded.
"Keep going, don't stop!"
Mason led the way leisurely, just like playing an RTS strategy game, directing these embarrassed guys who should have died to move forward in the dark night.
He himself was not in a hurry at all, and even had the leisure to direct these rookies to fight back.
"Fireman attacks to the left and rear, and Little Rascal absorbs the power of Iceman! You two pay attention to cover the flanks, Colossus and Psylocke lead the way ahead, and another group of black lantern dead surrounds, the number is about a dozen people.
What is Storm girl doing on the ground?
Your little electric arc can't hurt these dead who can be resurrected infinitely. These guys don't have air power. Isn't your storm shield afraid of bullets?
Now take to the skies to call for a miniature rain to match the Iceman's freeze!
How did you pass the graduation examination?
Can't even do this simplest power coordination? "
Amidst his stern reprimands, the flustered rookies immediately acted according to the instructions, probably because they are clones and have obedience programs written into their genes, these guys' execution ability is quite good.
Having gained room to display their abilities, they quickly launched a very exciting counterattack, easily breaking through the last few sieges and escaping the power coverage of the Black Lantern Ring.
But the black mud is still extending, as if chasing the last living thing, being attracted by the fresh life force to chase is even more ferocious, but without the interference of the dead, Storm Girl can spend time accumulating energy to set off a big storm Walk quickly with your teammates.
They broke through the air and reached Mason's safe area a few minutes later.
Mason, wearing a hood and a mask of the Stars Club, was standing beside a small river. The flowing water gathered beside him and turned into a flying green dragon spinning around, looking very "masterly".
The rookies understood Mason's outfit as soon as they landed, and Lingdie, who was the temporary team leader, said:
"Will the stars do something in this world?"
"Impolite fellows! Is this how you talk to the noble and powerful A-class personnel who just saved your life?"
Mason snorted, and with a pinch of his fingers, a golden ID card jumped into his hand.
This thing is an unforgivable star club member logo. When they saw it, the rookies completely let go of their last bit of vigilance.
"Salute to you! My lord."
Psylocke straightened up immediately, and made a conqueror's courtesy to Mason.
Although the Stars Club and the Conqueror belong to different organizations, the A-level pioneers also have a temporary military rank equivalent to that of a high-level conqueror, and they are indeed superior to these new recruits who have never seen the world.
Coupled with Mason's self-reported identity just now, it gave them the illusion of being "one of our own".
Well, strictly speaking, it is not an illusion, Mason is indeed one of them, especially after the war in Gotham World, he has probably become the most famous of all the clones born in the Weapon X project.
Its information has already been placed on the desks of all powerful members of the Hope Council.
"Let me introduce myself."
The captain snorted, and waved his hands imitating the arrogant posture of those A-level members in his memory, and the water flow around him changed into a few vivid phoenix circles, fully demonstrating Mason's superb mutant ability manipulation.
The "legendary aura" derived from the integrity of the Isu bloodline weighed heavily on these rookies in front of them, forming a certain "deterrence" effect.
Let them sit on the ground panting for breath and try to soothe their hearts, but it is difficult to even look up at Mason.
At the request of the captain, the interim captain, the rookie Lingdie, introduced:
"We are privates from the first order of the Conqueror, belonging to the 37th Red Tank Commando, this is our first official combat mission"
"Didn't ask you this!"
Mason flicked his fingers and said:
"I have no interest in the internal affairs of the conquerors, and your secret missions have nothing to do with me. I have my pioneering missions to perform. Children, I hope you understand the current situation.
I took the risk of exposure to save you not because of your status as conquerors! "
Psylocke, who was acting for the first time, was still a little dazed. The Iceman next to him looked at Mason's water control ability and suddenly understood. He coughed and explained in a gentle voice:
"We were born in the 27th branch base of the Weapon X project, my lord, our birth number is the 014th batch of the 248 sequence, and there is no special code name.
In fact, all mutant clones born after the first sequence of conquerors were formally established are codenamed by the original body. "
"Yes, this is what I want to hear, and this is why I rescue you, my brothers and sisters."
Mason finally let out a loud laugh.
He dispersed the water control beside him, threw a few bottles of wound medicine to the rookies in front of him, and said:
"My life trajectory is slightly different from yours. In an accident that I can't say much about, I was forced to join the Stars Club and work under the Swordsman. I learned about your existence from Mutant Utopia, but I have never had any channels and information. You touch.
I'm curious, if all of your clones born later use the codename of the Primarch, how do you recognize each other?
As far as I know, every batch of Weapon X clones replicates a full team of X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants right? "
"We use the serial number of the appearance instead, my lord."
The little rascal who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old blinked and answered:
“Actually, in the first sequence of conquerors, the serial number of appearance is our real name, and the nickname is just a synonym.
However, the highest serial number we have seen since its birth is only 076, which is our commando captain Red Tank. The 003 serial number like yours is simply a legend. "
"Jiejiejie, my lord is of course a legend! A genuine legend.
That is, I went astray and joined the Stars Club and became an A-level member. If I choose the same career path as you, maybe I am now the commander-in-chief of the conqueror. "
Mason responded to the inquiries of the rookies in front of him with a strange smile.
In the short conversation, he has basically figured out the internal structure of the First Conqueror Sequence, and the so-called First Conqueror Sequence should refer to the first Conqueror Legion set up at the beginning of the Council of Hope, originally led by Mason A foreign violence organization formed by the clones of the hometown weapon X project.
If Mason hadn’t encountered an accident, he, who grew up in his hometown, would most likely join in and die silently in the conquest of an unknown world.
"Don't move, your leg is broken, poor little guy."
Mason squatted down and held the pale-faced Storm Girl's left leg, and gestured to the "youth version" Miss Anna next to her to help tear off the injured man's black stockings.
While skillfully doing first aid to brush up his proficiency, he asked the little guys beside him who were still in shock:
"Tell me, what are you recklessly running over to give away the head this time?"
"Uh, my lord, this is a military secret."
Interim captain Lingdie leaned on his katana sword in embarrassment and whispered:
"Although we thank you for saving our lives, we are disciplined. We cannot say the target of this operation, and we have to set off immediately to the assembly point."
"Is it so spelled?"
Mason asked in surprise:
I understand that the execution of tasks requires courage, but courage does not mean death. "
"You can't go, my lord! You are not a conqueror, you don't understand our system."
The more grumpy Pyro complained with a cigarette in his mouth:
“If we fail to reach the assembly area after 30 minutes, we will be judged as ‘deserters’ and executed.
In the past, there were many such things. The first class we joined the Conqueror was to appreciate the scene of the execution of the last batch of deserters. I have to say that it is still fresh in my memory. "
"Well, militarized management, I understand."
Mason nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Under his superb first-aid skills, the terrible injury of Storm Girl was quickly healed. With the support of Lingdie, this "youth version" girl got up and thanked Mason very sincerely. However, they were just a group of recruits with nothing. Nothing decent as a thank you gift.
However, the chief captain obviously doesn't need it very much.
He waited in place for a few minutes, and another team led by Barbara soon appeared in the dark night.
They came in an Octant troop carrier covered in optical camouflage.
"Sweetheart!"
As soon as the black hatch was opened, Harley, who was dressed as a gothic vampire amidst the barking of the dog, was the first to pounce on Mason, rubbing her body sweetly, with Quinn beside her. Beside them were vampires from this world, and the two of them also wore blood-colored colored contact lenses, making them look like a pair of vampire twins.
"Come down! Get down, quick!"
Both Batgirl and Catwoman put on the classic costumes of high-ranking members of the Society of Stars in advance. Amid Selina's whip-waving scolding, a group of disgraced conqueror rookies were driven off the troop carrier.
These guys are much worse than the few people Mason saved.
Except for a few people who have self-healing ability and can walk on their own, everyone else limped off carrying the seriously injured on the stretcher.
"After these unlucky ones escaped from the territory of the Black Lantern Ring, they encountered the replica super fighters of the Cadmus Project led by the Golden Vanguard. Half of them were killed. We only had time to save them."
Barbara reports to Mason:
"According to your order, there is no conflict with the forces of this world, but the locals are indeed a bit strong. The golden vanguards in this world have the fighting power comparable to the second-line classic heroes.
I feel like he's almost catching up to Arrow. "
"To be able to persevere in a long-term conflict, it should be abundant in martial arts."
Mason observed the defeated soldiers in front of him. After a few seconds, he turned his head and said to the spirit butterfly beside him:
"Is your commander among these people?"
"No, I just asked. The team leader who was supposed to lead us to the designated location has died in battle."
The rookie Lingdie sighed and said:
"Now that I have the highest military rank, I will automatically take over the position of commander. Thank you for your help, my lord, but we must start now."
"How far do you want to go with a group of rookies?"
Mason snorted and said:
"Didn't you hear the information reported by my team members? The Sky Eye Society in this world has already noticed you. If my guess is correct, there will be pursuers coming soon.
And because of your stupidity and incompetence, my pioneering actions are also at risk of being exposed! I really regret saving you juniors now. "
Lingdie, who was scolded, lowered her head, feeling aggrieved but unable to say a word.
But she couldn't refute, their performance was indeed too clumsy.
However, her interesting reaction came from the "personality fine-tuning" of multiple batches of clones by the Weapon X project. This small preset change in personality is conducive to the rapid growth of clones.
But just like random lottery, occasionally it does shake some embarrassing characteristics.
For example, the combination of the rational irascible, the dull and sharp, and the blind sharpshooter sounds strange and is indeed full of contradictions after careful study.
The character of the youthful version of Lingdie in front of me should be "a strong doormat". After being scolded by Mason several times, she was tearful but tried not to cry out.
"Captain, it's useless to scold them now, since they are your 'little fellows', why don't you help them out."
Sister Catwoman naturally played the oboe with Mason and said:
"Anyway, our pioneering operation will be carried out nearby, maybe it coincides with their goal, little sister, don't cry, it's understandable that the first operation is like this.
The first time of anything is very difficult and very bad, no matter how much preparation you have made, you will inevitably be in a hurry when you go on the field with real swords and guns.
Come on, tell my sister, where are you going? I can give you a ride if you drop by. "
Behind Catwoman, Mason is holding a shimmering Isu Golden Apple in his hand. This thing is like a toy to Mason, and it can be easily retracted.
Under the influence of its psychic power, the psychological defense of the red-eyed spirit butterfly loosened a little bit, and then considering that relying on their current situation, it is really impossible to reach the meeting place within the specified time, so in the whispered comfort of Mrs. Catwoman, " "Big Sister" in a soothing gesture, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, telling the mission of her team.
"What? Say it again!"
Mason squinted his eyes and looked at the rookie Psylocke next to him. He asked:
"Where are you going? Assassinate who? Wonder Woman? Just you? You're kidding, right?"
"I also think this task is outrageous, but that's what the order from the superior is."
Lingdie wiped away her tears, and explained to the formidable "senior" seriously:
"Our first-stage order is to break through all obstacles and go to Paradise Island, and in addition to us recruits, there is also an elite team composed entirely of veterans who have already lurked ahead of time.
Our task is to create opportunities for them to kill,
It's not just us, all the clones of the 014th batch of the entire 248 sequence have been dispatched and randomly assigned to various parts of the world as bait under the leadership of veterans.
But now we are unable to complete the tactical goal within the specified time, so we can only ask for your help, my lord, to reach the target area of the first stage with the help of your vehicle. "
"Is this actually a screening?"
Barbara couldn't help saying:
"They actually don't care how many of you can survive, all they want is the effect of information confusion caused by interference."
"That's how conquerors do things."
Lingdie lowered her head and said:
"Only recruits who have survived the first three operations can be promoted to veterans, and our clear position in the first sequence of conquerors is 'expendable personnel'."
"This is too miserable."
Halley couldn't bear to hear it, she said sharply:
"But if I let my little sweetheart go, I'm sure I'll pass the test and become a big shot soon!"
"Thank you for the weird confidence you've given me in these weird places."
Mason rubbed his chin and patted the cutie on the head. He glanced at the cold night and quickly made a decision.
"boarding!"
The captain waved his hand and said:
"Take you to the mission location and take a tour of Paradise Island, but the premise is that you can't expose our existence! Psyltery, we also have our own secret operations."
He said to the beggar Lingdie who lowered his head beside him:
"You should be able to meet this trivial request of the senior, right? My incompetent junior."
