Chapter 88 085: SHIELD comes to visit
Since learning telepathy, every time Rojo comes into contact with a new friend, he subconsciously reads the other person's mind to see if there is a threat.

Telepathy is the most useful ability in human society. After all, people's hearts are separated from each other. But until I met Eugene, everything seemed to be a little wrong.

In fact, to be precise, he only discovered it tonight.

Over the past week or so, Eugene has always spoken words of encouragement, and everyone in the base has great confidence in him and has never questioned his decisions and plans. Of course, he has successfully rescued the mutants in the laboratory. Look, he is brave and resourceful and a qualified planner.

However, Rojo found that Eugene's mind was very complicated, and sometimes the emotions he showed unintentionally were contradictory to his statement. He seemed to think that the item was more important than the lives of the members.Such emotions completely went against his inner thoughts and what he had always said. His previous inner thoughts had always been people-oriented, otherwise he would not have rescued the mutants in the laboratory.

But inner thoughts can’t lie, and emotions can’t lie either.

In fact, what confuses Rojo the most is that thoughts and emotions are linked, but this is different for Eugene. Either Eugene has lost control of his emotions temporarily, or one of them may be fake, which makes Rojo plan to take advantage of the gap. , left the tavern and followed Eugene, hoping to find some clues to prove his suspicions, but the situation was different from what he imagined.

Eugene really just went to the neighborhood not far next door, picked up a piece of mail, and opened it in front of several people. It contained a tool box. Later, he bought a few bottles of wine on the way back to Hell's Kitchen. Other than that he did nothing.

Rojo, who returned without success, thought to himself that he could only go back to the tavern and have two drinks with Marcos John, then find an excuse to return to the base.But after tonight's mission, he had a new view of Eugene.

Early the next morning, the base provided breakfast as usual in the central open space. There were no tables or chairs. Some people would bring it back to the tent, while others would sit directly on the ground, forming a circle while eating and chatting.

Rojo also simply ate a piece of bread. The dullness of the basement in the morning made him lose his appetite. However, most people ate with relish. They had long been forced to get used to such an environment.

Rojo's eyes stayed on the crowd for a few seconds, and he soon noticed Eugene. He was making a phone call at the entrance of the base. Judging from his face, this call put Eugene in a bad mood. He shook his head and hung up. Phone, eyes a little heavy.

Holding a cup of hot coffee, Rojo walked over and handed it to him, "Is this a call from your friend?"

"Well, I wanted him to give me another chance. Obviously I overestimated the friendship between us, but he didn't agree."

Eugene adjusted his expression, took a sip of coffee, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I will take care of these things."

Lorna came over with Sonia and said, "Rojo, are you free later? We are going to go shopping. John doesn't have time. Can you be our driver?"

"this."

Rojo was about to answer when Eugene next to him patted him on the shoulder, "You go with them. I ordered a new generator from a store on the north side. That thing is very heavy. If you let two ladies go , that’s a little ungentlemanly.”

"Looks like I have to go."

Rojo reluctantly agreed. Except for John, Marcos, and a few other people in the base, no one else could leave the underground base. The main reason was that their appearance and psychological problems made them unwilling to step into the outside world.

The purchase this time is the same as before. There is a list of daily necessities and food, as well as a list of medical supplies. Each person is responsible for one. In addition, you need to go to the streets on the north side to retrieve the power generation ordered by Eugene. machine.

Now that the weather is getting colder, the base needs more power support and heating at night, otherwise the cold basement will be like an ice cellar, making it difficult to sleep.

Since there were a lot of things to buy this time, Rojo chose to drive a pickup truck. However, the truck just drove out of Hell's Kitchen, and before it had gone far, the pickup truck stalled at an intersection.

And no matter how I tried to ignite it, it wouldn't start.

"We were a bit unlucky, the car seemed to have broken down."

Rojo turned the key several times, but to no avail.

Lorna frowned and looked at the dashboard. The oil was full. She pointed at the metal outline helplessly, "It really can't start? How about I try using magnetic control? If there is no uphill slope, I can make it move. .”

"Your ability is too ostentatious, let's forget it." Rojo got out of the car, opened the hood and checked, and soon found that the battery was dead. No wonder he couldn't start the ignition.

Sonia leaned on the telephone pole and said: "I remember that the base had a spare battery. Marcos took it from some cars when he was working in his old business. He said that it would be used one day. I didn't believe it at first. , I didn’t expect that it could actually be used now.”

"Push the car to the side of the road first, and I'll go back and get the battery."

Rojo had no other choice now. Fortunately, he was not far out of Hell's Kitchen. It was more convenient to run back and get it than to buy a new one.

Sonia didn't want to walk, so she stayed in the car and waited, while Lorna went back with Rojo to get the battery. However, her purpose was not pure. She wanted to buy ice cream on the way. It was more than ten degrees in the late autumn in New York, but she ate it. She was so happy that her lips turned bright red.

"You seem to like this brand very much."

Rojo noticed that the ice cream was the same brand they ate together last time.

"Because it's delicious."

Lorna took a bite of the cold ice cream and chewed it.

This scene undoubtedly made Rojo tremble and his teeth felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "I kind of regret buying it for you."

"Why do you want to eat it too? How about a bite? I haven't bitten the lower half yet, so I can share half with you."

Lorna brought the ice cream to him.

"no need."

Rojo shook his head, glanced at the street in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and said, "If we go further, will we reach the warehouse?"

"That's right. You've been there so many times and you still haven't remembered it?"

Lorna looked at him doubtfully.

"That car looks familiar."

Rojo stared at the car on the street. The exhaust pipe was still steaming. It looked like it had just been parked. He looked at the familiar car body and said, "This is a S.H.I.E.L.D. car."

"what?"

Just as Lorna was asking, she was pulled by the boy and ran towards the warehouse. Soon the two of them arrived in front of the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse was open.

When Rojo walked in, he saw a woman with short black hair, blue eyes, and a cold face. She was wearing a SHIELD agent uniform, a tight black leather jacket and pants, showing her curves and muscles. She was holding a bag in her hand. He was staring at Eugene coldly, as if he was interrogating him.

She said in a cold voice: "Eugene Phil, you were once a member of the Marine Corps, participated in modern warfare, and received honorary commendations. General Ross has a very high opinion of you. He thinks you are a military genius. , you should have a bright future, but unfortunately, you were later found to have the X gene in your body and were forced to retire..."

This woman is Agent Hill from S.H.I.E.L.D.
