Chapter 314 13. I have told you before, how could this Artisan Alliance be a serious organization?
"I really believed you!"
On the top floor of Osborne Tower, Edward Elric, who was deceived by Mason in the poor name of "tasting alchemy", stamped his feet angrily and yelled at Mason:
"This is obviously a wasteland world! Is there something really interesting here?"
"Don't say that, brother, look at the Amazons over there fighting. Wow, these big sisters are so powerful."
Alphonse, the armored ghost beside him, didn't see it that way. It was rare for him to see such a "vibrant" wasteland, especially the mixture of multiple races here made him very curious.
Although these two brothers have basically never gone on missions after joining the Stars, they relied on their alchemy skills to win a quite transcendent status in the Stars Castle. They often traveled to different worlds and collected materials, and occasionally gave them to the resistance forces in various worlds. Offering a little help to the stars makes a bad point.
However, because he was well-informed, Alphonse could tell at a glance that there were different species from at least four worlds living in this wasteland city.
This kind of situation is quite common in the garden world where the stars will specially resettle time and space refugees, but the wasteland in front of them is obviously impossible to be used to resettle refugees.
So the only explanation is that the people from different worlds here are the work of Team K.
"I probably know what you did in your adventures and explorations."
Alphonse turned to look at Mason, and the armored brother whispered:
“It’s really rare that you people are really doing things like saving people.”
"I just made a small and insignificant contribution. It's not worthy of your surprise."
Mason waved his hand. He didn't trick these two brothers into coming here casually. He pointed at the ruined city of New York in the distance and said to the two brothers, one tall and one short, next to him:
"This world is full of creatures infected by the source zombie virus. It is a very rare world that is contaminated but not destroyed. I have been thinking about making a vaccine that can resist the source zombie virus.
That is the most deterrent invasion weapon in the hands of the Society of Stars. Once it is mastered, it means that the difficulty of the hounds' invasion of the innocent world will suddenly increase.
But to do that, I needed help. ”
"Impossible!"
Although Edward was angry, he still answered seriously:
"We two brothers have tried this kind of thing before. The weakened version of the zombie virus can be resisted, but the source virus is too contaminating and there is almost no solution.
What's more, we can't get pure virus samples at all, but we can't make antidotes from samples extracted from infected organisms. ”
"I have!"
Mason patted Edward on the shoulder and said:
"My world has thwarted the hounds' pollution tactics before. There are several pure virus warheads stored there. I can bring them to you.
In addition, ordinary alchemical potions are indeed unable to prevent the source virus, but we have this in hand now! ”
He took out the box containing the weak magic stone and said to Edward:
"This little baby that can transform all alchemical items will definitely be able to help, and I can also provide a vaccine formula to deal with the weakened virus."
He looked at the two brothers, his eyes full of invitations and requests.
But the two brothers did not reply immediately. Instead, they walked aside and discussed for a few minutes. Then, Edward walked over with his arms folded and said to Mason angrily:
"Hey, you've gone so far as to speak, and you've gone all the way to prepare. You've obviously figured out the tempers of our two brothers. If we're like this, it would be unreasonable for us not to help.
Okay, we stay here.
But we need professional biological laboratories and alchemical laboratories, as well as assistants. ”
"Everything is ready for you."
Mason snapped his fingers, handed the two keys to Edward, and said:
"My alchemy assistant is a person with superpowers who can manipulate plants. She can make all plant raw materials catalyze the growth. She is a perfect assistant for alchemists.
She will be responsible for assisting you.
But I would like to remind you that this girl has a weird personality, so you two should not have bad intentions, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”
"I have a girlfriend! She is still waiting for me to come home and give birth to my baby in Garden World."
Edward rolled his eyes and said:
"And if you look at Al's appearance, does he have that ability even if he wants to do something? But if your assistant can really control plants, then we can solve many of the materials for the weak magic stone by ourselves.
That’s a good thing.”
"Boom"
A low vibration suddenly came from the underground, and was transmitted all the way to the top of the tall building, causing the two brothers to almost fall.
Edward suddenly grabbed a handful of metal ingots and was about to launch a formation to defend against the enemy, but was stopped by Mason. He looked at the time on his watch and said to them:
"It's not an attack. Don't be afraid. I'll go down and take a look. You guys go to the laboratory first and meet Ivy to build a good relationship.
Oh, by the way, those Amazons also have the alchemical knowledge of the Olympus gods. You can try to contact them. They are all a group of militant warriors. Now they are eager for excellent weapons and armor, which can help them. Create your own new kingdom in the wasteland.
You will definitely become a guest of those muscular pussies. ”
After saying that, Mason waved and left, walking into the underground area where the elevator went straight down to Osborne Tower.
The two Elric brothers did not leave the lounge on the top floor. They stood by the window and looked at the apocalyptic wasteland. After a few seconds, Alphonse, the younger brother with a weaker personality, took the initiative to say:
"Brother, Mason wants to win over us. He is no longer satisfied with the current cooperation between the two parties. He hopes that we can establish a closer alliance with him."
"Who can't see this?"
Edward was not in a good mood.
But this has little to do with Mason tricking him into coming here.
It was purely because the short alchemist saw the doomsday scenery in front of him. He didn't like this scenery, and even resisted it. It reminded him of his hometown that had perished in the disaster of the stars.
But his brain is really good.
His early experiences also gave him a much more mature thinking than his peers. He looked at the people who were obviously from different world styles coming and going in Osborne Tower Square. After a moment, he sighed and said:
< br>
"It's not just the two of us that he wants to win over, Al. We are just his breakthrough point. He wants to use our reputation among the Ronin of the Star Club to absorb those free powers.
Brother
Mason was plotting to do something really big, and that made me feel dangerous.
Perhaps, we should try to have some relationship with him. This is a dangerous vortex that will pull us in and make us unable to escape. ”
"No! Brother."
The younger brother who always obeyed Edward was uncharacteristically stubborn this time. He stretched out his hand to push his medieval armor and whispered:
"I've had enough of this kind of life without a fixed place and direction. No matter what you think, I want to help them!"
"You're crazy!"
Edward scolded:
"You don't even know what kind of strength Mason has now and which allies he has. In my opinion, it's like using a mantis as a chariot, which is the same as committing suicide."
"But have you ever seen such a pioneer?"
The younger brother pointed to the lively square outside the window and said:
"Those people we met are either greedy and want to grab everything, or they are submissive to the power of the Stars Association. It is difficult for any of them to achieve great things!
Mason is an exception.
Not only did he dare to resist, but he also succeeded so many times. His art of struggle is worth learning by everyone. elder brother! Our choice to be homeless does not mean that we are actually blind to all this.
We just don't have a choice.
But now, we have it.
I don’t want Qunxing to go to the dark side. The warlock has sent people to contact us several times, and his tone has become tougher every time. If this continues, we will not be able to stay out of it.
They want us to be hounds.
But I don't want to!
Even if he doesn't help Mason, hiding in Team K's territory can at least avoid being drafted and keep his hands clean.
We can pick up Wen Li and her mother-in-law, as well as the master and colonel who are in who knows which world now. They have been hiding and resisting.
They would certainly be willing to work with someone like Mason. ”
"No!"
Edward stopped his younger brother's radical speech. He took a deep breath and said:
"It's not safe here yet. If Mason wants us to be his allies, he has to let me see his strength with my own eyes. Don't worry, Al, I'm not afraid anymore.
I'm not afraid of those hunting dogs!
But that doesn’t mean we hand ourselves over to our friends.
Do you understand?
We don’t necessarily have to stand on the side of the winner, but at least we have to stand next to the people who are likely to win. Don’t contact the colonel and others first, and don’t give them too much hope that may disappear at any time.
Just wait and see.
Mason knows what we are thinking, and he will choose the right time to show us his plan and power.
To be an alchemist, you just have to be patient. Let’s go! Let's take a look at the alchemy room he prepared for us. I won't be satisfied if it's too bad! ”
——
"What are you making! What are you all making a fuss about? Don't you think you are causing enough trouble?"
In a cage under Osborne Tower near the city's water purification plant, Harley, who was sitting on a chair with two big dogs, used a steel brush to smooth the fur of her pets while looking at the animals in the cage in front of her. Several people scolded:
"If Mr. K's relationship hadn't been strong enough, you little bastards would have been eaten alive by the old Green Goblin. I don't know how many dishes to make you so crazy!
How dare you fight with the Amazons!
Do you have the strength to fight hundreds of Amazons at once?
No!
Do you understand? I advise you to be pragmatic and understand your concept of 'escape' before trying to escape next time, okay?
Just bumping around like headless flies, how can you escape from the palm of my cute little hand? Hey, I have to be here to watch you, it's so annoying.
I originally made an appointment with Ivy to do her nails together today. ”
Facing the sarcasm and venomous tongue of this crazy beauty who was already in the shape of Mr.
Especially Supergirl Kara-El.
Even though there was a red solar energy lamp shining continuously above the cage, she still slammed her fist on the wall of the cage, causing waves of vibrations.
Use this to express your displeasure.
But this Kryptonian girl was in really bad condition right now. Not only was her hair a mess, but even her Kryptonian suit was torn to pieces.
But no one abused her.
This was purely the result of a fight with hundreds of Amazon female warriors who looked like wolves and tigers and held evil fire in their hearts at the last stage of the previously failed escape operation.
Although the Kryptonians are strong, they will definitely not be able to gain favor against hundreds of weakened versions of Wonder Woman.
Compared with her, the black boys Jackson and Professor Stein in the cage next to them were much more honest. Their fire storm matrix was temporarily "sealed" by the old Green Goblin using technological means.
The inability to transform into a firestorm made the two of them just ordinary people, so naturally they couldn't explode in this situation.
Jaime Reyes in the most marginalized cage is the best behaved.
This child's Blue Beetle combat system is still undergoing research and modification in Doctor Octopus's laboratory. Without the alien weapons, he is just a naughty kid.
He was annoyed by Harley's scolding, so he simply covered his ears with a pillow.
"唰"
The sound of the elevator door opening made Harley immediately prick up her ears, as if it was some kind of "special ability". She immediately jumped up and hid in the door, smiling evilly as she waited for Mr. K to walk in and then pounced on him.
He hugged and rocked Mason like a koala, and kissed him without shying away from anyone. He was so passionate that he wanted to completely burn Mason, this "hard rock".
"Well, kiss."
A naive voice sounded from beside Mason. Bizarro, the strange demon superman who didn't know enough about it, blinked his eyes and grinned, applauded and shouted:
"Bad enemy Mason and ugly Harley are making out."
"You are the ugly one, your whole family is ugly!"
Harley poked her head out from Mason's shoulder in displeasure, waved her fist at Bizzaro and shouted:
"Although I know you idiot is complimenting me, your words sound like a provocation. Shut up!"
"Why are you angry with him?"
Mason helplessly wiped the lipstick from the corner of his mouth, then patted Harley's waist to ask her to come down,
This scene fell into the eyes of Fal Zod beside him, causing Black Superman to smile slightly in the darkness, and then returned to his indifferent state.
He didn't dislike Harley's crazy character. He felt that although Harley was crazy, she was much more sincere than most humans.
This may be why Mason accepted Harley.
"I heard that you guys tried to escape, but were beaten up by the old Green Goblin?"
Holding Harley's hand, Mason walked to the cage and sat on a chair. The "guardian" Superman standing behind him looked quite majestic. Of course, it would be even more awesome if Bizarro could stop making funny faces with Harley. There is majesty.
The strange demon Superman and Harley are a pair of strange "opponents". Occasionally and rarely, they can connect to the same frequency of magical brain waves. Maybe it's a wonderful tacit understanding between a fool and a madman?
Mason said to the four people in front of him:
"We have to talk, my reservists, tell us all your dissatisfaction and doubts, and I can help you answer them.
But after we finish chatting, you will be ready to start your first pioneering mission.
I've already chosen my destination.
However, this journey may not be smooth, and I hope you will be prepared. ”
"Mason Cooper!"
The most impulsive Kryptonian girl grabbed the railing. She was very weak under the irradiation of the red solar energy lamp, but this time she could not lose the battle, and she still yelled loudly:
"You used evil methods to deceive us! And you tried to get us to serve you! Don't even think about it!"
"Two mistakes."
Mason held up two fingers and said:
"First, I didn't trick you here. You were specially sent here for 'training'. Second, I didn't ask you to serve me. I have no such idea at all.
You should get involved if you really want to do something for our hometown. ”
The answer made Kara's expression freeze.
Although she has inherited the tradition of being reckless in the Al family, she is also super intelligent. Mason's words contain a lot of horrifying truths that make her have to take some time to sort out the causes and consequences.
Mason turned to look at the white-haired but unusually silent old man in the central cage.
He said:
"It's fine that impulsive young people can't understand the problem, but Professor Stein, you are a true academic leader and a real social person. Why are you fooling around with them?
I think you should be the first person to understand your situation, right? ”
"I persuaded you."
Professor Stein pushed the frame and sighed:
"But the young people are stubborn and don't listen to me, and I can't help it. Okay, Mason, stop hiding it and tell me all about your deal with the Justice League so that the young people give up completely.
< br>
After all, we don’t really have much time, right? "(End of Chapter)
