Chapter 195 The Lame Boy
"Crash."

In the dimly lit tunnel, the academy duo, the US team and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who concentrates on manipulating the floating surveillance ball.

Together they sat on the simple elevator and slowly sank into the deeper darkness below.

In my ears, apart from the sound of my companion's breathing, there was only the sound of water seeping from the tunnel wall.

This dreary atmosphere made it a little unbearable for the little Magneto, who is more eccentric, so he decisively broke the silence in the elevator:
"Captain Rogers, your secret equipment is a bit disappointing. The distance of the screen transmission is only more than 300 meters, forcing us to enter this tunnel when the situation below is unknown."

Speaking of this, the little Magneto glanced at the narrow inner wall of the tunnel around him with disgust, and there was an even more cramped elevator.

Such a small space obviously lacks the room for maneuver necessary for fighting.

Once encountering any unexpected situation, the few superpowers in the elevator can only rely on their strength to resist.

And this is obviously far from the plan.

However, before the little Magneto continued to convey negative energy, it was Raul who stopped him first.

"Max, don't complain to Captain Rogers. The floating surveillance ball can at least let us know the situation below 300 meters in advance. It is already of great help to the task of arresting Mister Sinister."

Little Magneto couldn't turn a blind eye to the comfort from Raul, so he closed his mouth resentfully.

But after he quieted down, Raul's voice continued to sound.

Only this time, the target of his conversation was the two sentinel robots that were floating down with the elevator above his head and under his feet.

"Change the shape and use the ability to strengthen the inner wall of this tunnel!"

With Raul's order, the bodies of the two sentinel robots closest to him immediately began to squirm, and in the next second, they transformed into two different forms.

The sentinel robot below, his body made of special materials burst into high-temperature flames.

Under such a high temperature, the groundwater seeping from the tunnel wall was instantly evaporated, and the mud clods on the surface, which seemed to fall off easily, were also solidified into solid hard soil.

However, such a reinforcement method obviously cannot reassure Raul.

Then, the sentinel robot suspended above suddenly spit out large flakes of gray-white liquid from its mouth.

And when those unknown liquids met the air, they instantly reacted with each other, forming an extremely viscous jelly-like substance.

This jelly-like substance hangs on the inner wall of the tunnel that is still warm, and quickly dries up into a tough film.

With the protection of this layer of film, the four people in the elevator always felt that the structure of this tunnel was unstable and would collapse at any time. They only felt that the gloom covering their heads dissipated a lot.

The uneasy heart can also be put down temporarily.

Raul politely responded to Captain America's kind thanks, and then everyone fell silent again,
This time there was no sound of water flowing, only the "creaking" rusting sound at the junction of the elevator and the iron hook.

The four of them, together with the accompanying sentinel robot, gradually entered deeper and deeper underground, and the light above their heads finally completely disappeared at a certain moment.

"I feel that this tunnel has a slight slope."

At this moment, Captain America suddenly spoke.

Hearing his judgment, Little Magneto looked indifferent.

In the dark underground, the hole will be a little skewed, isn't it normal?
But just when he was about to open his mouth to mock the temporary teammates around him, Raul took the lead in agreeing with the US team in a calm tone:

"Well, it's skewed. Although the degree is extremely small, this tunnel is indeed extending downward at a fixed slope."

When Raul's words came to this point, even the impatient little Magneto could hear it.

He and Raul had speculated before that Mister Sinister's ability to change from an ordinary person to a powerful extraordinary person with similar strength to theirs might have been strengthened from something underground.

But now, the goal of the deep well dug by the other party is very clear, so their guess has naturally been confirmed again from the side.

However, Magneto and Raul did not have the slightest intention to share their ideas with the US team.

After Raul's indifferent response, Little Magneto also turned his head to the side, showing that he was not interested in this topic.

This made Captain America, who still wanted to continue talking, only have a helpless look on his face.

It's just that the extremely awkward atmosphere between the academy duo and Steve was instantly broken after the agent who had been quietly manipulating the floating surveillance ball spoke.

"300 meters below, I saw the picture of the surveillance ball passing back. There is a widened space there, which looks like a laboratory."

Reporting here, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent seemed to want to further confirm the situation below. His hands continued to manipulate the handle that controlled the floating monitor.

But at a certain moment, the face of the SHIELD agent suddenly became extremely ugly, and an uncontrollable nauseating sound came from his throat.

But after all, the agent knew that the captain next to him, as well as two powerful superhumans from Ionia, were waiting for his report.

So he resisted the discomfort in his stomach and tried his best to describe what he saw:

"Below, there seems to be no sign of the existence of the enemy. It looks like an abandoned laboratory, and there are many mutilated limbs inside, and there are many anatomical remains of humanoid monsters."

Hearing the agent's words, Steve still needs to construct himself in his mind based on the other party's description.

Magneto and Raul, who had already seen the "semi-mutant", instantly had an idea of ​​the scene below.

The more successful works are all so bizarre, and the appearance of those failed works may really leave an unforgettable shadow in my heart.

Little Magneto and Raul looked at each other, knowing that their companion and themselves wanted to go together.

So they did not hesitate to push the task of exploring the abandoned laboratory to Steve.

"Captain Rogers, since the floating surveillance ball didn't see the enemy, there's no need for us to stop there halfway, just continue down and capture Mister Sinister!"

Raul would say this, naturally out of his understanding of Captain America.

It is impossible for this veteran of many battles to let go of any possible clues.

So the other party will insist on entering the abandoned laboratory, and Raul and Magneto, who had different ideas at that time, can stay in the elevator logically, waiting for the US team to search and return alone.

It can only be said that although the two academy twin stars have completed many tasks with their strength, their evaluations are also extremely good.

But after all, their mentality still cannot escape the nature of teenagers, and they should have fear of difficulties and some cleverness.

As for the American team beside them, of course, they also saw the strange intentions of Magneto and Raul.

But he didn't feel any malice in the two of them.

So with a dry "creak" sound, Rogers jumped out of the elevator and stepped onto a platform in front of him before the thick iron rope controlling the elevator was completely taut.

It is said to be a platform, but it is just a crude foothold that was dug inward on the inner wall of the tunnel.

Before that foothold, there is a narrow path that only allows one person to pass.

Following the smooth and level path, the US team carefully explored forward.

Although the floating surveillance ball did not detect the existence of the enemy, the experienced US team knew very well that there are too many superpowers that cannot be captured by technological products on this earth.

Be careful, you are responsible for your own life.

Holding the shield forward step by step, squeezing the stone walls on both sides of the US team, it made him feel even more oppressed.

In the end, what appeared in front of him was already a small hole half the height of a person, dark and deep, no one who saw it would want to go straight into it recklessly.

But in the next moment, the brave American team leaped swiftly and rolled in short.

When he regained his balance and squatted to observe the situation here from behind the shield, Steve suddenly fell into a daze.

Abandoned laboratory.

It's not that Steve hasn't imagined the description of the previous S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

But the scene in his mind is undoubtedly different from the actual scene in front of his eyes by several dimensions.

Huge, bloody and cruel, these are the only thoughts in Steve's blank mind.

First of all, it is huge. At this time, he is already in the ground more than 300 meters deep, but here, someone has opened up a large space.

Above Steve's head, although the dome of this space can't be seen clearly in the dark, he has already taken out his night vision equipment and put it on, and it is roughly estimated that it is more than ten meters away.

And the ground covered with long strips of bricks and stones in front of him exceeded [-] square meters.

If it needs to be carried by ordinary people, or even with the addition of large machinery, this space can be called an underground building with a terrifying amount of work.

There is a high probability that it is the product of the participation of people with superpowers!
Captain America silently made a judgment in his heart.

Afterwards, his eyes moved to this space, where the broken bodies were densely arranged, and various biological organs soaked in the antiseptic liquid.

Evil scientist, Mister Sinister?
I will definitely arrest you and let you have a fair trial!
Obviously, Steve, who has rich experience in the battlefield, has a strong immunity to the horrific scene in front of him.

But that doesn't mean he'll take it lightly.

Conducting such an inhumane large-scale human experiment has challenged, no, trampled on Steve's inner bottom line.

So in his heart, no matter how important Mister Sinister's achievements are to S.H.I.E.L.D., he vowed to let Mister Sinister use his life to atone for his sins.

Walking slowly into the siege of flesh and blood, Steve began to carefully search for items or notes that might have been left behind by Mister Sinister.

Since he had vowed to kill the other party, he would naturally not let go of any slightly helpful clues.

It's just that Steve searched hard for a long time, but he didn't find any results. Obviously, there was something wrong with the judgment of the previous S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

This is just an abandoned laboratory of Mister Sinister.

However, just when Steve felt that there was no need to continue wasting time, a faint cry for help suddenly came from the deeper darkness.

This made Steve alert all of a sudden. Someone called for help, and it was impossible for the US team to ignore the other party.

But at the same time, as he is used to all kinds of methods, he will definitely guard against the enemy's trap.

Cautiously leaning forward, his mouth calmly responded to the strange caller.

During the question and answer, Steve's tense muscles relaxed slightly.

The person opposite seemed to have a clear consciousness, and his language also had logic.

But the other party didn't know anything about Steve's questions.

And such an unreliable performance, on the contrary, greatly reduced the defense of the US team.

But he wouldn't trust a sudden caller so easily.

When Steve came a few meters in front of the caller, he stopped his steps and held up his shield, ready to defend against sneak attacks from around.

A male teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old.

That's all Steve could know about the caller from the night vision goggles.

"Can you move around, follow me, and I will take you out of here."

Captain America asked the boy.

"I, there seems to be something wrong with my leg, I can't move it..."

Steve frowned at the boy's answer, and he looked decisively at the opponent's legs.

And there, under the knee of the boy's left leg, the calf was already caught in a terrible bend.

Silence and silence lay between Steve and the boy.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the young man who looked young showed a rare calmness at his age.

It seems to understand what Steve is guarding against.

He didn't cry to impress the other party, but looked at Steve calmly, and at the same time spread his hands, which was naturally empty.

At this point, Captain America's prudence can no longer stop his kindness.

Taking two steps forward, he hugged the boy in his arms, and then he didn't have any intention of continuing to search the laboratory, and strode decisively towards the elevator.

"Captain Rogers, he found a stranger who looked like a boy."

On the elevator, the agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was watching everything with a floating surveillance ball, suddenly spoke to remind the little Magneto and Raul who were doing nothing.

Obviously, he also had doubts about the identity of the boy, so he wanted the two powerful superpowers from Ionia to use their methods to judge whether the boy was a threat.

Raul, who heard the reminder from the agent, instantly became serious.

However, when he saw that there was still only Captain America's extraordinary fluctuation on the contact lens, his dignified expression relaxed again.

The detection results of the sentinel robot have not made any mistakes so far.

So no matter how complicated the identity of the rescued teenager was, no matter how deeply hostile he was towards them.

Just an ordinary person, it is difficult to attract the attention of Raul and Little Magneto.

"Don't be nervous, it's just another lucky one saved by your kind captain."

Seeing Captain America who had already come into view, his face was a little anxious, and his right hand was carefully protecting the boy's broken leg.

In the not-so-serious tone of Little Magneto, rare words of praise appeared.
