Chapter 325 24. The passing super symbiote just wants to have a meal, what’s wrong with it?
"Mason, what should we do? Should we retreat? Or fight?"
After the Blue Beetle's on-site situation assessment information was conveyed to the teammates, everyone felt that it was difficult.
Faced with the inquiry from Barbara, the "second person" of Team K at this time, Mason thought for a moment and then issued an order to the team members suspended in the air:
"Although Hammerfell is a chaotic place, you can't ignore it once you encounter it. Barbara, release drones to guide the locals away from the preset war zone.
The Kryptonian team stepped forward and used heat ray attacks to attract the target's attention. Bizarro was ready to take a deep breath!
Firestorm! It immediately enters the combined state. With the super size of this thing and the health bar that is so thick that we can't even imagine it, it is difficult to expel it from the outside through conventional methods, so we must risk a central flowering.
It's up to you to shoot the arrow into its heart! ”
The captain gave calm instructions:
"I need you to complete a high-energy nuclear explosion when necessary."
"You mean, let me jump into the belly of this thing?"
Firestorm turned into a ball of flying fireballs flashing in the sky and shouted:
"I think there is something wrong with your plan! Professor Stein told me that with the super digestive ability that this weird creature may have, I will be digested within ten seconds without protection!"
"Be confident, Jax."
Faced with the team members' rebuttal, Mason corrected him very academically and gently:
"Based on my previous research on the symbiote's super appetite, it won't take ten seconds to digest you, but as long as you master the perfect timing, you won't be hurt.
This thing is weak to fire and sound.
Although it has evolved for unknown reasons, it is obviously not yet completely immune, so Jacks and Professor Stein.
Be bold, you are its natural enemy! ”
"I'm not showing off my abilities, but I can actually transform into an alien sonic gun"
When Blue Beetle heard Mason encouraging Firestorm, he immediately used every opportunity to tactfully express his idea that he could help, but was ignored by all his teammates.
Want to help?
Let's rely on our own efforts to crack the "baby safety mode" set by Doctor Octopus on the Scarab weapon system. After all, an alien armor that can turn against you and get out of control at any time on the battlefield is no less than a time bomb.
"Action!"
Mason gave an order, and the male and female supermen wearing Isu suits immediately stepped forward.
They fired scorching eye rays extremely bravely, and the four rays of red light intertwined and cut and burned on the giant symbiote under the crack, making the symbiote with only a lot of "delicious" food in its eyes feel pain.
This guy grew a ferocious face from the center of his body in a weird way, biting the sky fiercely.
The face was like a black head with white eye spots, a big mouth full of bloody teeth and a scarlet tongue covered in mucus. It was exactly like the nightmare-inducing face of normal venom magnified ten times. Effect.
This thing howled and bit at the two supermen, but it obviously couldn't keep up with Superman's rapid movement without the "help of thinking" from its host, and could only be thrown around.
However, the terrifying power of its super huge body turned this mindless attack into a disaster.
The collisions and tears were like the brewing movement of an eight-magnitude earthquake.
"That's venom!"
At this moment, Hawkeye finally recovered.
He and Old Wolf squeezed in Harley's car and looked this way, then waved to Mason and shouted:
"That's the crazy Venom who fought with Ghost Rider in San Francisco and destroyed it. I heard that guy ate a third of the people in San Francisco. Kill him, Mason!
Use flame!
It's afraid of fire! ”
"Everyone who has read basic comics knows that Venom is afraid of fire, but how many people can use this to deal with it? Everyone in the Bat family knows that a weakness that can be exploited is a real weakness.
A weakness that cannot be grasped is called a trap. ”
Mason complained.
Of course, he was not just fishing. Barbara had delegated some of the drone control authority to him, and Mason was now using the Flame Engineering bomb in his bag to lay out a safety line.
In the distance behind him was a large group of evacuating Hammerfell residents.
Just because the venom in front of you can maintain its existence without a host doesn't mean that it doesn't need a host. Once this big guy is anxious and his IQ returns, and he attaches himself to a random guy, it will be difficult for Team K's hunting to be effective.
It must be resolved quickly.
"Well, 15 seconds to solve the problem."
Mason looked at his watch, set a countdown, and then activated the Speed Force ring again. The chaotic crowd behind him was instantly reduced by dozens. Super speed is a magical skill for transferring innocent people when a crisis occurs.
And 15 seconds is the longest time that Mason can maintain the speed force at one time. This is much more powerful than the first 3 seconds. Although he is usually very busy with skills, he also secretly exercises in private.
While Mason was transferring the citizens of Hammerfell, the giant Venom, which was constantly being restrained by Zod and Kara, finally became impatient and began to use more power from its body to attack them.
This scene is like the mythical "Hydra" awakening.
Those black mud-like symbionts threw out tentacles, and at the top of each tentacle was a large face plate of venom.
Kara flew too low and was almost hit. At the critical moment, Zod punched the Kryptonian girl and knocked her away, but he himself fell into a dilemma surrounded by several symbiote tentacles.
This thing is not an entity in the ordinary sense!
The characteristics of the liquid make it difficult to break through brute force, and once a symbiote of this size is attached, even a Kryptonian's physique will be quickly parasitized.
Seeing that Zod was about to fall into a tight siege, the strange superman who had been accumulating power according to Mason's request finally appeared. This roaring guy slammed over and knocked his friend away, maintaining the "deep breath" lung tube to charge up. He was so suffocated that his bust suddenly grew three times in size.
But the breath-holding effect is amazing.
The moment the symbiote surrounded him, terrifying fire breath erupted from Bizarro's mouth.
Just like the legendary Dragon's Breath Technique, it caused the surrounding temperature to rise by more than ten degrees in an instant.
As the strange demon Superman shook his head from side to side without any instruction, a steady stream of high-temperature flames burned all the symbiote tentacles below into smelly flying ash.
"Ouch! Bizarro is the most useless!!!"
Amidst the screams of flying ashes and giant venom, Bizarro, who was both triumphant and dizzy from holding his breath for too long, stood with his hands on his hips, bathing in the ashes like a victorious hero.
He asked Zod and Kara who were flying next to him:
"Do you think I'm useless? I'm Mason's most useless enemy!"
"Uh"
Zedd gave a thumbs up with a calm expression on his face.
And Kara obviously still can't accept Bizarro's upside-down speech pattern. Even though there are all kinds of flaws at this moment, she can only imitate the superman in black and give a thumbs up to the strange demon.
But the battle is not over yet.
Bizarro's "Super Deep Breathing" burned one-fifth of the giant Venom's body, but the symbiote obviously does not have such a "battle damage".
The disintegration of the body only made it feel threatened and the enemy was not easy to mess with, so it changed its tactics and went deeper into the ground.
"Firestorm! What the hell are you waiting for?"
In Mason's absence, Barbara Gordon, the "Bat Lady", is in charge of supervising the operation.
When Bat Girl saw that everyone else had completed their tasks, only Firestorm, who was used as a weapon to defeat the enemy, had not yet taken action. She immediately shouted in the communication:
"Go up! It's going to run away!"
"If you win the bet, everything will be fine. If you lose the bet, everything will be fine. You have to let me do a good job in psychological construction."
Firestorm complained as his head was on fire.
But as a rugby player, Little Black Jacks is not lacking in courage. Seeing that the idiot Superman, whom he has always disliked, is so powerful, he will definitely be looked down upon if he doesn't show off.
"Professor! It's about to happen!"
While Jacks pounced on the giant Venom below, which was moving its body and drilling into the ground, he said in his mind:
"I hope the explosion model you just designed is correct. Whether we can come back depends on your scientific literacy."
"You naughty kid! Just follow the steps I gave you and detonate it!"
Professor Stein cursed in Firestorm's mind:
"Never question a researcher's scientific literacy. Prepare to detonate! Three, two, one fire!"
"BOOM!!!"
——
"BOOM!!!"
The explosion caused a huge shock in the depths of the Nevada desert. Mason, who was transferring people at super-light speed, stopped and looked back.
The small mushroom cloud behind me is really spectacular.
Having a superman in the team who can roll nuclear bombs with his hands really makes people feel safe. The most rare ability of Firestorm is not a one-time thing.
Such an explosion is not premised on consuming his own energy. It is just the practice of the atomic energy knowledge that Professor Martin Stein has mastered through his lifelong efforts in the field of high-energy physics.
The saying "knowledge is power" is vividly reflected in Firestorm.
Many superheroes have the ability to control atoms, but there are still only a handful of people who can do such destructive power at will.
"Barbara, report back."
After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the interfered communication returned to normal again. Mason asked, and a few seconds later, Bat Girl's steady voice came:
"Jax survives! Professor Stein survives! The operation is a complete victory! The body of the giant Venom has been burned clean, wait a minute, and there are still some scattered symbiote residues moving around.
Mason, your efforts to capture it alive have failed. ”
"No, Barbara, you still know too little about symbiotes."
Mason shook his head and replied:
"For them, one is everything. Even if there is only a drop of debris left, it is only a few bowls of rice away from the full energy. Monitor there and wait for me to come back."
"No need, Mason. The explosion of Firestorm flattened this ruined city. There is nothing left here. After Blue Beetle collects the symbiote residue, we will go to your place to meet up.
The call is completed. ”
Barbara's suggestion made Mason nod. He was a little tired after running back and forth hundreds of times in the short time just now, so he would just sit on a stone by the desert and rest.
Opposite Mason were more than a thousand wastelanders who were brought out of the town by him. Each of these guys was dressed in strange shapes and did not look like good people, especially the fact that everyone was carrying weapons, which showed that the people of this place were tough.
But they didn't dare to be disrespectful to the tired young man in front of them.
After all, no matter how bad the guy is, he can see that if it weren't for the man in front of him, the nuclear explosion just now would have been enough to bury them all in the razed city. If Hammerfell could be called a city.
Some smart guys got together and finally selected a eloquent guy who came forward and whispered to Mason with a flattering face:
"My lord, I dare to ask you if you need any servants."
"Huh?"
Mason glanced at him, and the questioning look was immediately caught, so the oily fat man rubbed his hands and said:
"The powerful people in this wasteland need servants, and we citizens of Hammerfell are unwilling to succumb to the Ghost Riders"
"The Ghost Riding Gang is gone."
Mason packed his bags, and the Ghost motorcycle was released beside him. The burning wheels and the roar of the replaced engine made the guy choke and speechless.
He looked at Mason with even more awe and said:
"You are almost as powerful as the legendary Avengers before the war, but our city has been destroyed, and our hidden weapons have also perished. Please have mercy on us who have nowhere to go.
< br>
If you just leave us here, within a few days we will be in a predicament of killing each other. ”
This was a prayer without any rhetoric, but it was also loyal enough. Mason glanced at the people in front of him, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and said:
"It's not impossible. My factory does lack some hard-working workers. I can afford to support a few hundred people. Throw down your weapons and wait for recruitment.
Go tell them.
Anyone who doesn't want to come with me can leave now. ”
Mason waved his hand and ignored these wastelanders.
The fat man went back very excited to convey the good news to his companions. In today's wasteland, following a rising boss with a discerning eye is definitely the first guarantee of survival.
But not everyone is willing to follow Mason, a guy of unknown origin.
So when the people from Team K rushed over, there were only about 400 people left waiting to be recruited, and most of them were old, young, women, and children. These people were considered "worthless" in the wasteland.
But Mason wasn't picky.
He didn't really want to dominate the wasteland, so he took his magic box back from the old wolf and gave it to Harley, letting her take Blue Beetle and Zod to complete the collection work.
Mason himself took the biological storage tank handed over by Barbara, which contained a large pile of sickly black symbiote.
"Look, this Venom is sick and not as good as us."
He said something full of malice, then twisted open the jar and put his left hand in it.
At first, seeing the white fingers reaching in, some of the mentally disturbed Wasteland Gigantic Venoms were delighted and wanted to add more food, but before it could take action, the Black Death Sword suit covering Mason's wrists swished. All over Mason’s fingers.
As Mason watched, the venom in the jar, which was already ready to explode, had an obvious "pause" and "shock" movement at this moment, and then it screamed and hid at the bottom of the jar like a little girl who saw a pervert.
The Black Death Sword suit on Mason's finger stretched out its tentacles like a bully, mercilessly piercing the body of the wasteland venom.
Like a milkshake.
It only took two or three mouthfuls to absorb four-fifths of the venom from the wasteland, and even burped comfortably.
But there are still a few left.
"That's enough. I'll give you the rest. It'll fight the weak enemy."
The Black Death Sword suit turned back into a tattoo on his wrist, and he lazily sent a message to Mason, adding a "good boy" compliment at the end of his voice full of malice.
This made Mason's expression suddenly weird.
All right.
This seems to be the Black Death Sword suit's "final solution" to its reluctance to help Mason in a battle without divinity.
It's still reluctant to waste its power on pointless enemies, but Mason has access to this blob of wasteland venom that's far more powerful than the average symbiote.
This old man "outsourced" the dirty work that he was unwilling to do.
The best thing is that Wasteland Venom doesn't dare to disobey its wishes at all, and has to thank the boss profusely for sparing his life.
In this way, Master Black Death Sword was very satisfied, and Wasteland Venom did not dare to be dissatisfied. Although Mason's opinion was not very important, Black Death Sword did give him a new plan after all.
Enjoy your stay!
This operation is six.
"You're a damn programmer symbiote from Asan Software Company! Are you such a bitch?"
Mason, who understood everything, scolded:
"You really think I'm just picking up rags, don't you? With the Fenrir Armor, do I still need a bunch of useless symbiotes to help me fight? If the Fenrir Armor can't deal with the opponent, Venom can. Solved?
You are really a master at pretending to be confused! "(End of Chapter)
