The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1384 The Call of the Stars (Seventeen)

"Can we really survive?"

Rocket Raccoon was standing on the edge of the sink. He asked with his head downcast, then turned his head and looked at Star-Lord Quill's arm, where the lower half of the sleeve was empty.

Rocket Raccoon closed his eyes, put his paws on his eyelids, and said in pain: "I can't believe it, just a few hours ago, you performed an amputation on yourself here, you really, you really ..."

Rocket Raccoon couldn't say the second half of the sentence. He actually wanted to ask "Are you really awake?", or he wanted to ask "Are you crazy?", but when he thought of all that Quill encountered In fact, it was all caused by him, and he couldn't ask these sharp questions.

The fact that happened the night before was too scary. Rocket Raccoon didn't know what Quill saw. He only saw him scratching his arm, shouting frantically, and then twitched and vomited in pain. Baimo smashed his elbow with heavy concrete shards and cut off half of his arm.

Rocket Raccoon has seen many scary things in the interstellar society, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange situation. He can't find the enemy at all, so naturally he has no way to resist.

The raccoon felt extremely guilty for not being able to help, but couldn't help giving up on himself. He flicked his tail helplessly and said, "Maybe I'll be here tomorrow night, maybe we'll all die here?"

"Don't be silly." Quill shaved his stubble at the mirror on the bathroom sink with a razor blade in his remaining hand.

There was no bitterness or hatred in his expression, on the contrary, there was some lightness on his face. When the sun shone on him, he seemed even more out of tune with the oppressive atmosphere around him.

"Actually, I already have some ideas." Quill tilted his head left and right, touched his smooth chin in the mirror, and said, "Do you think there are too few monsters in this world?"

"That's not enough? Do you want them to fill up the world and swallow us up?!" Rocket Raccoon yelled in confusion.

"Didn't you see it when you came here? Most of the corpses that fell on the ground only had a part of their torso left, and that part was missing. I guess the monster might have hatched from there."

"If everyone is parasitized and hatches a monster, then the number of monsters is too small. If not everyone is parasitized, then judging from the number of monsters, it is impossible for the survivors to be silent."

"Although it's a bit pessimistic, I still tend to have a monster hatched in almost everyone's body, but these monsters don't know where they went after leaving the mother's body."

After shaving, Quill walked to the window of the hospital and looked towards the road. There were many monsters dragging some human limbs on the road, but they were not many, and they were not dense at all, and they did not move fast, nor did they have a strong desire to attack. , as if just following instinct to forage.

"I have a strange feeling." Standing by the window, Quill stared at the broken road and said, "These monsters produced from the human body are not designed to attack humans. This is not an infectious virus."

"God! Listen to what nonsense you are talking about!" Rocket Raccoon jumped on Quill's shoulder, turned to look at him and said, "The city has been destroyed like this, and you still want to applaud these monsters No?"

Quill shook his head, without further explanation, he sighed, turned around and began to pack his luggage with his remaining hand, but in fact he didn't have anything to take, so he rummaged through the patient's personal belongings cabinet The large packages that came out contained some medical supplies and cans found in the warehouse, and they left the hospital with the bags on their backs.

Although there are not many monsters on the road, it is quite troublesome to avoid them. Quill relies on his good skills, and most of them operate on the roofs of low buildings. Rocket Raccoon's small rocket launcher on his arm can repel some monsters. A monster trying to climb up.

In this way, they walked between the houses in Queens, New York. Before the next night, Quill climbed to the top of a tall building in the business district and looked at the whole of New York.

"My guess is correct, those monsters are indeed heading in one direction." Quill stretched out his hand to cover the bright sunlight, narrowing his eyes and looking into the distance.

It is not difficult to come to this result. The slime traces left on the ground and high-rise buildings alone are enough to show that in the recent period, these monsters have undergone a large migration, and at least 90% of the monsters are headed towards New York. A certain point brings together the past.

Quill sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not from New York. I don't know where their final destination is, so I can only take one step at a time."

"Where are their destinations?"

Wanda held Jarvis's hand tightly and asked. At this time, several people had already walked out of the residential area and boarded a building, but under Xu Shangqi's suggestion, they did not go upstairs. Instead, he climbed to the upper floors, entered an abandoned office, and looked out from a room with a guardrail in front of the window.

Hearing Wanda's inquiry, Jarvis's expression changed slightly, but soon he regained his composure and spit out a few words: "Central Park, New York."

"God, why do monsters want to go there?" Wanda said helplessly, "Don't tell me, they want to go there to see the scenery."

"I think there is something attracting them." Jarvis stared out the window with a serious face. When he was the only intact and unaffected member in the whole team, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the leader. But he really didn't want to do that.

For a long time, he was just Stark's assistant. Intelligent life itself is good at following orders and acting. It is the first time for Jarvis to become the leader of a team and have complete decision-making power. , completely against his instinct.

But he had to do this. His team couldn't be said to be short of arms or legs, it could only be said to be short of everything except arms and legs. Riley couldn't hear, Wanda couldn't see, Xu Shangqi couldn't speak, and the three of them At the same time, I will be disturbed by that terrible force, and I don't know if I can survive the next night.

So, Jarvis thought for a while and said, "We should head towards New York's Central Park, but first we should find a car."

The others had no objections, so they went downstairs together. Fortunately, they were not far from an exhibition venue, and there was an auto show there.

Several people went to the exhibition hall as quickly as possible, hoping to rescue a good car, but unexpectedly, there were too many good cars at the auto show, and almost none of them were damaged.

Aside from the horrible slime and messy corpses on the surface of the car body and the surrounding ground, the car is even in pretty good condition, and many of the cars used for test drives are full of gas, which is really confusing to several people.

Generally speaking, the most likely to be destroyed when the end of the world comes is all kinds of vehicles, especially civilian vehicles. will fall apart.

When a powerful mutant like Wanda fights with others, he will blow up at least a few cars with a wave of his hand. It is obviously abnormal that the cars here can be preserved so well.

"What's going on? Don't those monsters attack cars?" Wanda was puzzled after hearing Jarvis's description, and she went on to say, "If they attack indiscriminately, then these cars must be easier to damage than buildings. If They are intent on mass destruction, and they will certainly prioritize attacking vehicles to prevent humans from escaping."

"They probably didn't think about attacking."

Riley just said this sentence and then fell silent, Wanda also fell silent, and Jarvis couldn't understand what charade they were playing, so he could only find a car that he thought was the most suitable, and checked it out. The condition of the car, after finding that there was no problem at all, several people got into the car.

I didn't encounter any monsters along the way, but the doubts in the hearts of several people became more and more intense. The city was destroyed, and everywhere was dilapidated. There is no shortage of supplies, and judging from the state of the corpses, no riots have occurred.

There are even quite a few stores with generators that still have their lights on. The shelves are full of products that have not been looted, and the mutilated corpses have no bullet holes or wounds caused by other modern weapons. This is not logical at all.

If the hatching of this monster is like a zombie virus outbreak, it will definitely cause panic among the crowd. Ordinary people who see the monster will run away in a panic, and the police will try to maintain law and order and attack the monster. When the news spreads, it will cause panic. Large-scale hoarding of materials by the people.

But in the current scene, it seems that one second before everyone died, the rest of the people were still living normally.

It was even more frightening than the sight of that chaos.

The greatest fear comes from the unknown. The few people present have more or less seen the chaotic and dilapidated scenes of some zombie movies. Although it is sad and angry enough, it is not unacceptable. But now the calm before the storm , but let a deeper fear grow in everyone's heart.

With a sound of "Zi La", the car stopped.

The three people in the team who still had vision looked up, and they saw a huge temple in the middle of New York's Central Park with a painting style that was completely different from all the surrounding buildings.

"God, what is this?!" Riley couldn't help but exclaimed, Jarvis blinked, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and then he said: "It looks like it has some oriental style, wait Wait, that decorative pattern should exist in my database...Kama Taj!"

Hearing the name, Wanda immediately exclaimed, "Oh, yes, if the world is destroyed, what about the mages? Are the mages still alive?"

"The time gem, if the supreme mage still has the time gem, maybe we can..."

Wanda's words stopped abruptly, because she thought that if the Supreme Mage could really use the Time Stone to reverse the current situation, he would have done it long ago. If he didn't do it, it meant that he was powerless.

Wanda took a deep breath, and then sighed again. She held Jarvis's hand tightly, and even half leaned on his body. The Miss Witch rarely made such an unreserved gesture, but she was serious. Feel hopeless.

Jarvis put his arms around her, supported her back, buried his head in her neck and shoulders, and said, "It's okay, Wanda, we're going to live."

"But it's getting dark soon." Wanda cried, "It's getting dark again, can we really survive this night?"

Both Xu Shangqi and Riley seemed a little silent. They didn't have the confidence to answer this question at all. They only came here for the third day, but the torture and darkness they experienced were worse than all they had experienced in their past lives combined. need more.

"We will." Jarvis raised his head, quietly watching the sun setting on the skyline, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and said: "No matter what, I will let you live. "
