The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel Chapter 337

Chapter 337 36. Cunning and pathetic brat, you still want to run after offending Mason?

Since he joined the Stars Club, Mason has traveled in many worlds. He has done all kinds of great things and been praised by others.

This is really a big world full of wonders.

However, as the party involved in the "Gobi Heist", Mason expressed his emotional stability. Surrounded by dense mechanical ants, he seemed to have not heard the cry of the strange guy who appeared on the nearby bridge.

He will be thinking about a problem.

If he was living in this wasteland and could control it so well, according to the blue beetle, he could eat up a city of mechanical ants in a few minutes, what would he do if he wanted to live a better life? way?

Robbery?

No!

Robbing in this ghostly place where no one may pass by for several days is the most unimaginative and time-consuming "way to get rich", but the guy in front of him just did it.

So either there is something wrong with his brain, or these mechanical ant colonies are not as powerful as they appear on the surface.

At least not powerful enough to be driven to attack the city of New Babylon, which is not far away.

Mason blinked his eyes, his Isu senses focused on the delicately crafted individuals in the densely packed ant colony in front of him.

The size of these mechanical flying ants is no different from normal ants, and their production technology is very superb. It is impossible to mass-produce them in the wasteland era, and Mason found many damaged individuals among them.

They have not been well repaired, so they can only drag their remains and continue to fly in the ant colony with difficulty.

"He can't control the ant colony."

Mason narrowed his eyes, and instantly came up with an answer:

"At most, it is guidance and cannot be forced to order. This little thief who robs the road is just pretending to be a tiger!"

"Barbara!"

Mason reminded the master hacker of Team K:

"Electromagnetic disruptor preparation."

"Already preparing, in the process of activation, target sky."

Batgirl said in the newsletter:

"You figured it out too, right? Mason, these ant colonies aren't well-manipulated at all, they're just mimicking ants' predation patterns of action.

This is a scare hoax. "

"I'll find out soon."

Mason sneered, and after waiting on the spot for a few seconds, the electromagnetic interference waves shot from the rear spider car smashed into the sky like invisible shells.

The mechanical flying ants flying around Mason and the others seemed to smell something terrible, and suddenly dispersed, like a black cloud in the sky being torn apart.

This allowed Blue Beetle and Bizarro, who were ready for a hard fight, to escape easily with Mason and Harley.

"Right here, land down."

Mason kept calculating the distance, and after leaving the ravine thirty meters away, he let the blue beetle land on the ground.

I took a few steps forward and looked at the ant colony rolling on the ground in front of me.

Even if it was less than two meters away from Mason, it was like an invisible line stuck in front of him, preventing those vicious mechanical ant colonies from taking a step beyond the thunder pool.

He shook his head, stood up and looked at the bridge ahead.

Among the guards of tens of thousands of ants stood a thin young man, who was wearing tattered but very religious clothes, with a silver helmet on his head, and two rusty spots on his forehead. An antenna makes it recognizable.

"Where did you get this Ant-Man helmet?"

Mason yelled to the young robbers on the bridge:

"Are you the 'Ant King' of the Ant Gang? You're having fun, kid. Have you frightened many people with this method over the years? Let me ask you! Did you make the corpse in the ditch?"

"So what if it's me?"

Wearing an Ant-Man helmet, the young man who used this thing to control the surrounding mechanical ant colony saw his tricks being exposed, but he was not afraid, so he stood on the bridge with his hips crossed, and threatened Mason:

"These people are as smart as you! They all see that my 'little brothers' won't leave this area, and they all guess that I can't force them.

So they plan to kill me and take the helmet, you plan to do the same?

You can try it. "

"Tch, if this kind of thing didn't have an 'emergency berserk mode' or something, I would laugh at Dr. Pym's poor skills. It's not so easy to get me fooled, kid."

Mason waved his hand, gestured to Harry, and said:

"You are so vicious at such a young age, this wasteland is indeed crouching fire, hidden dragon, but I am not here to discuss this with you today, we have no money with us, I can give you food and water.

Anyway, you will go to the nearby black market to buy these things after taking the money, but I won't give it to you for nothing.

Do you have Pym Particles in hand? "

Seeing that Harry took out a bottle of pure water and threw it on the bridge, the vigilant young man picked up the water and tested it with a strange instrument. After confirming that there was no toxin, he turned around and took a big gulp, and wiped his mouth freely. Then he turned to Mason and said:

"What did you just say about Pym? What is that thing?"

"A liquid like a drink, purple in color, sealed in a small test tube that cannot be broken."

Mason described the shape of Pym particles to him, and then asked:

"If you can find the Ant-Man helmet, you must have found Dr. Pym's laboratory or other areas nearby. There should be such a thing there. If you don't need it, why not give it to me?

The price I give will definitely satisfy you.

There is no need to worry about the future. The place you chose is really wonderful. The only way to New Babylon is blocked here. We can't deal with the violent mechanical ant colony with so few people.

Look, I'm a smart guy.

I won't try to take your helmet, I just want Pym Particles. "

Mason's offer made the young man on the bridge hesitate, and after nearly half a minute of silence, he shouted:

"If I have, what do you plan to give in exchange?"

"I just said, food and water."

Mason snapped his fingers, and Harry shrugged and unfastened the magic pocket on his waist. With a wave, a small warehouse of purified water, emergency food, and a large pile of snacks appeared in front of him, piled up like a hill.

These things are absolutely hard currency in the wasteland, and they are things that even money can't buy in the current situation.

Mason took a few packs of "samples", and without fear of the mechanical ants gathered around him, he threw them on the bridge, and the vigilant young people "inspected" them first.

After confirming that they were all edible and tasted good, the young man wearing the Ant-Man helmet gestured and said:

"Well, the Pym particles you mentioned, I did find a small box. That thing almost killed me ahem, anyway, it's really useless for us to hold it.

I can exchange it for you.

But I want five times that amount for food and water! "

This is obviously the lion's big mouth.

The old wolf on the spider car who listened to this condition frowned frequently. He said to Mason in the communication:

"The amount of food you gave him is enough for a force of dozens of people to feed for a month. He is deliberately embarrassing us. Dr. Pym has been dead for seventeen years, and the things he left may have been damaged long ago.

Beware of scams. "

"It's okay, we don't lack food and water."

Barbara next to explained while debugging strange things:

"But Pym particles are very precious. Although I don't know what they are, I have heard Mason talk about it several times. If we can exchange samples with only food and water, then we will make a lot of money no matter how much we pay." gone."

Old Wolf obviously knew what Pym Particles were, and he didn't try to persuade him any further. After Mason agreed, the "Ant King" on the bridge activated some functions with his helmet.

A few minutes later, a group of ants came to the bridge carrying a dilapidated small box with the logo of Pym Technology on it, which made Mason raise his eyebrows.

He also prepared food and water here.

Zod, who volunteered to act as a trader, completed the payment of money and delivery of goods surrounded by mechanical ants.

"Okay, you can go."

The ant king who got the food and water and learned to use the magic bag grinned.

He waved his hand, the red light on the helmet was shining, and drove the mechanical ant colony back to the ground, then pointed in the direction behind him, and threatened Mason and his group:

"Don't come to us, wise man, I'll only say this once, if you dare to come, you will bear the consequences!"

After speaking, he carried his bag and quickly disappeared into the hills behind the bridge.

Mason opened the old small box in his hand, and there was only a small bottle of purple-red liquid in it. Seeing this, Harry was furious and complained that he had been cheated.

But for Mason, this small tube of Pym particles in front of him is enough.

He picked it up and looked at it in front of his eyes, and the information label popped up:

Pym particles

hint!

"It's worth it."

He calmed the irritable Harry, and put this small tube of Pym particles into his special safe. This thing is priceless, and it cannot be measured by money or material things.

What's more, how could a guy as cunning as Mason not keep a hand?

"Have you found his whereabouts?"

Back on the spider car, Mason asked a question after everyone had passed the bridge for nearly five kilometers. The red light in Barbara's eyes kept beating, and she said in a hoarse voice:

"If it wasn't for the super soldier serum that strengthened my brain, just supporting the running of this nanoscale tracker would take up two-thirds of my RAM cache.

The bad news is that the little guy is very sneaky, and the area where he hides blocks the signal.

The good news is, we're better at it.

He's hiding underground!

The tracking line has been issued, and the signal simulation of the mechanical ant colony has also been completed. "

Barbara popped out a separate chip from the personal computer running at hand, put it into a device like a USB flash drive, and handed it to Zod who was ready to go with a blank face.

She urged:

"Put this thing close to your body, and the mechanical ant colony will not attack you. Go in according to the route, fast in and fast out, and don't touch anything on the road."

"Um."

Zod nodded, got up from the speeding spider car, leaped into the sky and galloped towards the rear.

Take Mason's things and still want to run?

Although the 'Ant King' was trained to be vicious and cunning by this wasteland, he was obviously a little too naive.

"Mr. K! How did you put the tracker on that guy?"

Harry asked in surprise:

"You obviously haven't been in contact with him! Can the skills of the bat cubs put the tracker be completed by thinking now?"

"Stupid Harry!"

The blue beetle flying next to it clutched its stomach and was about to laugh out loud. He reminded:

"That bottle of water! That greedy guy took a sip of water, remember? The nano-scale tracker is hidden in the water, and I just realized it."

"So it's not right!"

Harry still frowned and said:

"The water was all produced in Osborne Tower, and it was not opened halfway! Mr. K has no chance to put a tracker in it?"

"Uh, is there such a possibility?"

Barbara glanced at Mason with her eyes closed and meditating, and said quietly:

"When the water was filled, did it have the tracker in it? It's not a problem with any one bottle, Harry, it's in all the bottles.

You have it in your body at the moment, but there is no need to activate it. "

The atmosphere on the entire spider car suddenly became weird. Harry rubbed her flat belly, she glanced at Mason, her Mr. K shrugged, and said in a drawn out voice:

"This is just a proper 'protection', lest you go missing and I can't find you, don't think too much, and you have also seen it, it is never a loss to prepare early, right?"

And in the carriage pulled behind the spider car, the silent eagle eye took a sip of wine, and said hoarsely to the daughter rubbing her stomach with a strange face beside her:

"This is the new boss you chose for yourself! Ashley, now, do you still have the confidence to think that you have played with him?"

"The Pym Cross is here! Everyone."

The only one who did not participate in the discussion, the old wolf who had been driving silently, suddenly said something to make everyone look forward.

They were curious about why the intersection closest to the city of New Babylon was marked with the surname of "Pim". At this time, when the spider car crossed a mountain depression, everyone understood the reason.

This intersection leading to different directions is at the foot of the mountain ahead.

It was not born naturally, but a huge skeleton nearly a hundred feet high lay there.

Its pale arms point north and south, while its head and broken legs point east and west. Seen from a height, this is the posture of a person with his hands spread out and fallen down.

This is the origin of the Pym Cross.

"During the nuclear war, he blocked the Red Skull's pursuit by himself, buying time for the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people in New York City. The mechanical ant controlled by the 'Ant King' just now is probably Dr. The ultimate weapon unleashed."

The old wolf said hoarsely:

"After that night, this place was called 'Pym's Cross', and the people who survived in the wasteland are those who were evacuated and their descendants.

It can be said that this place is a holy place that everyone knows.

Clint stubbornly wants to go to New Babylon, we have to go in the direction of Pym's thigh, and we have to go straight in the direction of his left hand to go to the former site of Xavier College.

The two places are nearly a hundred kilometers apart, so they must be separated. "

"I'm going all the way with Mr. K!"

Harry raised her hand and shouted, but no one objected.

Mason looked at the huge Pym cross in front of him, he turned his head and said to Barbara:

"You guys follow Clint to New Babylon, keep in touch and follow the plan."

"Um."

Batgirl nodded.

Obviously she and Mason had made some plans before they set off.

But everyone can't leave now, because the black-clothed superman Zod has not yet finished capturing and tracking the "Ant King". Mason has a lot of ideas about the power of the mechanical ant colony he saw with his own eyes just now.

He has always felt that Barbara's self-protection ability is a bit weak as a master hacker, and he has to assign a person to protect her every time he takes action.

Such a model obviously cannot last long, so it is better to take this opportunity to "upgrade" Barbara Gordon.

"I think you should have a new title, old lady."

Mason rubbed his chin, and said to Barbara, who was tracking Zod's whereabouts while performing a self-examination of the prosthetic body:

"What do you think of the nickname 'Queen of the Ants'?"

"It's not good, it sucks."

Barbara moved her shoulders uncomfortably, and said:

“I grew up disliking ants.”

"oh?"

Mason curled his lips and said:

"Then you probably have to learn to like it from now on."
