Temptation on the tip of the tongue

"Don't lie to me!" Dulles was holding a heavy gun in his hand, his wrist was shaking violently, and roared at Chen Xiaoxiao: "You are not some Hydra agent, let alone a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent! Don't think I don't know, mutants are wanted all over the world, and the government is crazy to release you to do missions!"

"The mutants who are alive now are either arrested for genetic experiments or imprisoned!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? The virus will mutate again when it reaches mutants, not to mention you mutants, even those super soldiers-"

When he said this, he stopped abruptly, and tears rolled down from his eyes: "I want to ask you a question too! Me too!"

Chen Xiaoxiao originally wanted to snatch the gun, but she couldn't snatch it from a crazy person, and watched him shoot.

Chen Xiaoxiao originally thought that he had completely cut off contact with the world, but she didn't expect that he would still be able to learn about these very confidential things.

click.

Nothing at all.

But after Dulles fired the gun, he seemed to be completely frightened. At this moment, his hand still kept the posture of holding the gun, his eyes were dull, and he stared blankly at the front, completely at a loss.

It took several seconds before he regained consciousness.And those blank and blank seconds, as if a whole century had passed, made him slightly dizzy.

Dulles originally wanted to swallow a mouthful of saliva to calm his emotions, but the long-term drought made his body extremely dehydrated. He picked up the empty glass with trembling hands, raised his head mechanically, and "drinked up" the air in the glass.

His thin hand grabbed the glass, and he held it tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw, and whispered: "Tell me your secret."

"Your worst secret."

"This is the rule of the game, right? We all have to answer."

The scientist raised his head, and a sharp light flashed through his narrow triangular eyes.

Driven to a desperate situation, the beast tried to find a small safe area to hide in peace.

Chen Xiaoxiao tilted her head: "Me? The hardest thing to say... I am a mutant."

Dulles didn't look up at her, but looked down at the empty cup in a sinister manner: "Not enough."

Chen Xiaoxiao added: "My mother is a doctor and died when I was very young; my father is a mutant, his life and death are unknown, his name is unknown, the only thing we know is that he has something to do with metal, is this enough?"

Dulles didn't seem to hear her, and just repeated petulantly: "Not enough, not enough!"

Chen Xiaoxiao suspected that he had fallen into a state of madness and could not hear her at all, but after all, there was one last question waiting to be asked, so she could only continue talking about her own affairs: "I didn't think about my father very much before, but Now, as you said, I can’t go to all the bases for the global wanted mutants, so I want to find my father. But where is my father? Who is he? I don’t know. Is this enough?”

Instead of being comforted, Dulles went mad even more violently, shouting angrily like a child: "Not enough! Not enough!"

Chen Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly: "Okay. I have heard that before Magneto King Eric was arrested, his daughter caused the birds in the forest to attack those who were chasing him because of her pain - I can also control Animals, my father has something to do with metal, so maybe it's him? That's hard to say, okay?"

Dulles threw the cup in his hand to the ground and shouted, "No!"

Teddy, who was squatting at the door, suddenly turned around and made a booing gesture.

Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head at him: "It's okay, there are not many zombies nearby, I can control them."

She turned her head helplessly and looked at the old man who was out of control: "Doctor, what exactly do you want?"

Dulles said: "I want your secret, a secret that can be exchanged with mine! I want to grasp your weakness, and I want you to keep it a secret!"

Chen Xiaoxiao sighed.

He has probably stayed in this well-defended tavern since the early days of the crisis. This is a corner of the city, and there are few living people. In addition, there have been several explosions in the city center, so the zombies are attracted by the sound, so a large number of zombies have not wandered yet. Come here, he doesn't know what the world has become now.

Fame, crime, and even murder are not important anymore.

To survive is the kingly way.

To exchange secrets?

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "Don't you find it strange that the windows have been open for so long and not a single zombie came over? That's because I can control the small number of zombies to a certain extent, so that they can't find this place."

"Is this enough?"

Dulles suddenly raised those snake-like eyes, and Chen Xiaoxiao felt as if something quenched with venom had hooked her.

Dulles grinned, showing his broken teeth: "You know, once the government finds out about your ability, you will become an experiment subject, right?"

Chen Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, "I know."

Dulles lowered his head and smiled softly.Chen Xiaoxiao found that he was no longer the same as before. In the past, he was always wrapped in the noble skin of a scientist, and he was careful not to get dirty no matter what. Now, once the skin is torn, he doesn't care about anything and has no fear anymore. .

He said, "Although I don't know what you want to do, there are plenty of fools who want to be the savior in this world."

"I'll keep a secret for you, and you, keep a secret for me."

Chen Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand: "Deal."

Dulles didn't shake her hand or ask her to play the game again—the rules had been quietly broken and the game was no longer needed.

He hunched over and murmured, "Spider-Man. I think you want to find him."

"He was imprisoned by me in the laboratory below the Osborne Building, on the third floor underground, and the passcode is seven Js. Although only six digits are displayed on the password slot, if you don't continue within three seconds after pressing all six digits, Seventh press, it's useless. More presses will set off the alarm."

"However, I advise you not to go, because it has become a stronghold of zombies."

"And the so-called superhero, I'm afraid that he has long been a captive of the virus, and now he has become no different from other zombies that eat human flesh, drink human blood, and growl like wild beasts."

After saying this, the eerie and weird light on Dulles' body suddenly disappeared, as if his whole body was completely drained of strength, and he turned back to the old man who was powerless, weak, and tired before.

"I've finished what I have to say, can we go?"

Chen Xiaoxiao pointed to the briefcase in his arms: "This is the sample you got?"

Dulles tightened the bag in his arms suddenly, and looked at Chen Xiaoxiao vigilantly: "You...what do you want to do?"

Chen Xiaoxiao turned over from behind the bar and said, "Nothing to do, I want to tell you to take it to the base properly."

"Teddy, we're off."

Teddy cautiously poked his head out from the window. After scanning around, he found that there were no zombies wandering outside. He turned his head and gave Chen Xiaoxiao an ok gesture.

After getting Chen Xiaoxiao's approval, he took the lead to stand up, and he was the first to stride out of the window as if he was determined to protect the old man and the woman.

Then, just like when he came in, the moment he raised his head, there was a bang, and his forehead hit the window frame hard.

Before Chen Xiaoxiao had time to remind him, she saw him hit the wooden frame and bounce back.

Chen Xiaoxiao: "..."

After Teddy pretended to be ugly, he turned his head in embarrassment, and hurriedly apologized to his boss: "Xiaoxiao...yes, I'm sorry..."

After speaking, the two-meter-tall man shyly stood in the way of the door, waiting to be forgiven.

The corner of Chen Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.

Dulles seemed to think that this young man was unreliable at all, and was very afraid of being eaten up by zombies when he went out with these two people.

Teddy stood in the way at the door, watched Chen Xiaoxiao and Dulles walk around him, felt that his boss must be really angry, followed him in a panic, and bumped his head against the door frame again before going out superior.

Holding his stomach that was growling from hunger, he caught up with Chen Xiaoxiao who was in the front, stretched out a hand and grabbed Chen Xiaoxiao's sleeve coquettishly, and whispered: "...Hungry."

After speaking, he looked at her with bright eyes.

Chen Xiaoxiao rummaged through her bag, found a piece of plum candy, and handed it to him without looking back.

Teddy got the delicious food, and happily took it, as happy as a child.

At this time, a few blocks away, there was an earth-shattering explosion that shook the ground beneath them.

Dulles was terrified at the moment, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, what's going on!"

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "Today is the last day of New York's evacuation. There are not many living people in the city, but the zombies are very deadly. So we put bombs at a place far from the evacuation point, ignite the fire, and attract The zombies have passed, and it will be easier to retreat like this."

As she spoke, she glanced over there from a distance: "If someone who doesn't know the news of the evacuation sees the constant signal over there, they might bump into it."

A group of people were walking, when they suddenly saw a few people kneeling on the ground not far ahead, looking very sad in the vague shadows.

Dulles' eyes lit up: "Someone!"

Taking advantage of the moonlight, I took a closer look, but suddenly found that several inhuman figures were kneeling on the ground, eating a gutted person.

Dulles has poor eyesight, so he screamed when he saw it clearly, grabbed Chen Xiaoxiao and said, "Zombie, zombie!" He screamed and took a few steps back, and ran back in extreme fear.

Teddy is tall, scratching his head at this moment, stretched out his long arms and grabbed Dulles by the collar, and lifted it back like a chicken, and said seriously: "Shh—"

When Teddy looked at him, it was as if he was looking at a disobedient child.

Dulles was already frightened, struggling violently at this moment, his thin body looked like a child in the tall Teddy's hands: "Let me go, let me go!"

Teddy covered his mouth so that he could not make a sound, and walked around the zombie calmly.

Quiet.

The zombie who lowered his head and gnawed at the corpse seemed to have noticed something, raised his bloody head blankly, looked around distortedly, and even met Dulles's eyes with empty and misty eyes.

However, the eyes of these zombies swept over straight, and their stiff eyes seemed to penetrate Dulles' body.

They didn't seem to find anything, and continued to gnaw on the dead body with their heads down.

Dulles' eyes widened in astonishment, and Teddy carried him a long way before he calmed down.

Chen Xiaoxiao walked in the front and said without turning her head: "Old man, don't bark. It's no problem for me to control one or two zombies now. If you make a lot of noise and attract zombies..."

As he spoke, he raised his head, and a gleam of indifference flashed across his originally gentle and lovely face:

"Jesus can't save you even if he comes back to life."
