The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel

  Chapter 712 10. Anything as long as it is small will be cute, but when they grow up

  The base of the Rebel Army was already underground, but the old Luthor felt that it was obviously not safe, so he dug another secret darkroom in his underground office leading to the lower part.

  It’s like a bug that doesn’t have much resistance to external dangers. When it predicts that the danger is coming, it will always dig down, trying to protect itself with the tenacity of the thick earth.

  It is clumsy but appropriate to use this primitive method to keep some secrets, and the current depth of hiding can already isolate all mechanical and life signal searches in Hope City, enough to ensure that most activities will not disturb the surface.

  Actually, digging a hole to hide yourself in times of danger is not just a bug’s practice, it is also a human instinct for survival.

  Mason thought so, but when he really saw what old Luthor was hiding here, he suddenly realized that he wanted to hide underground with the rebels maybe not just for the sake of hiding.

   "What kind of weird thing is this?"

  Halley let out an exclamation while hugging her cute face.

  The well-informed captain also stared wide-eyed, and even the ooze monster Kevin poked his head out of Mason's shoulder and looked forward. The mud-shaped face was full of surprise and disbelief.

   Quinn, who was the most vigilant, had pulled out the clown pistol and loaded it with a click, while the dogs under their feet also grinned and made preparations to pounce.

  In front of them was old Luther holding a small humanoid in his arms.

   Its posture is no different from that of a child of a few years old.

   But his skin is blue, not the blue of Avatar, but closer to the blue plume that energy will emit when it reaches the ion state.

This kind of skin is eye-catching enough, but apart from the skin, the child's forehead, shoulders, arms and legs also have technological devices similar to crystal attachments. Just looking at the shape, it should be used to gather and adjust energy The diffractive device, paired with his small body, adds a lot of "industrial beauty" to this child.

  These are not the most surprising features. The blue-skinned child's left hand is not five fingers extending from the wrist, but slender mechanical tentacles, which are flexible and suspended in the air like the tentacles of an octopus.

  The top of its tentacles also has an arc point that will erupt when the energy jumps in contact with the air.

  The latter is obviously wise.

He was very close to the old Luther, but when he saw the strangers in Mason, he showed obvious fear and vigilance. He kept hiding in the arms of the old Luther, and looked at them with big blue eyes. , panic could be seen in those clear pupils.

  He seems to realize that he is different from normal people, so he looks a little ashamed to meet people.

If it's just a strange appearance and a mechanical body, it's not enough to make Mason feel strange and surprised, but the energy level emanating from this little guy who is held in Luthor's arms in front of him really makes people feel heartfelt. fear.

  The energy readings detected by the watch have exceeded the limit of the atomic energy blast that a standard nuclear bomb would release in the explosion core.

This is still under the condition that the little blue boy is in a calm and stable state. Once he is frightened and explodes or the energy in his body loses control, it is conservatively estimated that his energy release can destroy the entire underground base and all the existences inside within one thousandth of a second. If **** is erased, it is estimated that only Fengyi Chao and Baiyi Beka, which cannot be compared with ordinary theories, can survive.

   "Harry, Quinn, wait for me outside the door with the dog."

  Mason pushed the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, and said something to the cuties in a serious tone.

  Harry had already pulled out the clown camera and planned to take a photo as a souvenir, but the energy interference from that little guy made the camera unable to work at all. The amazement on her face was as strange as seeing a giant panda punching Kun in the zoo.

  Facing Little Sweetheart's instructions, she snorted, but still dragged the grinning dogs and turned away, leaving only Mason, old Luthor, and that strange blue-skinned little boy here.

   "Did you recognize him?"

  Old Luther asked, then reached out and took out a strange metal Rubik's Cube and placed it in front of the blue-skinned child.

  The latter only used willpower to make the thing levitate and spin in the air with a crackling sound, as if playing a boring game, and the Rubik's Cube was completely returned to its place in less than a second.

   It seems that this is not a challenge, so in the blink of an eye, the Rubik's Cube is broken into small cubes, and in the next moment, they are chaotically formed into a strange metal group.

   This scene allowed Mason to see more carefully the boy's ability to influence matter.

  He pursed his lips and said:

   "Is this a Brainiac hatchling? How did you make him?"

   "Using artificial intelligence plus some biotechnology from Krypton to generate cognition through AI's deep self-learning, thereby creating a mechanical life that can manipulate huge energy and has great potential."

   Luthor stroked the head of little Brainiac in his arms, as gentle as if he was treating his own grandson. He explained in a deep tone:

  "This plan has been verified in our world before the impact. In the vanilla era when there is no need to worry about the end of the stars, some radicals among us even produced a prototype under the order of the president.

  Unfortunately, the prototype got out of control as expected.

It was a terrible accident. In just two hours from the time when the prototype produced intelligence to his demise, he flattened one-tenth of the east coast in a completely uncontrollable manner, and that was only because he had just been born Problems with the structure of the prototype caused him to feel extreme pain and unable to suppress the energy in his body.

   Since then, the plan has been put on hold until I picked it up again and improved the drawings.

  Xiao Bu in my arms is the No. 2 machine.

  He was born one year and seven months ago, and has been kept here by me. With the help of the deep learning of the advanced technology of the Cree people in the sixth sequence, he can already control his energy and super intelligence very well.

  I haven't seen any other Brainiacs, but I hear you killed an adult? "

   "Yes, that is a war that no one wants to see."

  Mason stepped forward, under the gaze of Xiao Bu's eyes, he stretched out his hand and tried to touch him, but when he got close, he could feel an invisible energy field hindering his fingers.

   It seems that this little guy doesn't like being touched by life other than old Luthor, especially Mason is not close.

  Probably because the captain personally slaughtered a Brainiac. If the mechanical life forms also have space-time variants, it would be equivalent to Mason killing another him.

   This is enough to make a child with wisdom feel intimidated.

   "Is he the final weapon you prepared for this resistance?"

  The captain took a step back and asked:

"I have no doubts about his destructive power, but is he sure that he can take on such a mission? His mind seems to be immature. If you use Old Bu's standard for testing life intelligence, this little guy can reach level nine at most Or tenth-level intelligence, which is still far from the twelfth-level intelligence of a complete body.

   Moreover, he lacks a lot of attack methods that belonged to Lao Bu, but the destructive power that a simple energy burst can exert when facing the elite troops of the council is not strong. "

   "This is also what I'm worried about. I originally planned to let Xiaobu act together with Superman and his teammates, but this plan to create life was selected to suppress Superman at the beginning."

  Old Luther sighed and said:

  "In the world of the vanilla era, my adopted son's uncontrolled personality and the unstable violent factor in his blood made him a guardian, but also made him a threat in the eyes of many people.

  Facts have proved that the prototype body cannot achieve the purpose of suppressing Superman, which is another reason why this project was abandoned. Although I modified the cognitive program so that he is no longer hostile to Superman, it is still very difficult to get them to cooperate.

  I even planned to give up Xiao Bu and send him out of this dangerous world.

  But without his strength and ability, what we can do will be greatly limited, but your appearance makes Xiao Bu useful again. "

  The bald leader of the rebel army handed Xiaobu in his arms to Mason, and he said:

   "Tomorrow morning, let him accompany you.

  I know you may be able to deal with those threats on your own without help from us, but if this is our common cause, then I think we should also do our part.

  Xiao Bu will protect you. "

   "I don't think I can use a blue-skinned mechanical elf to protect me, let alone I have killed him in adult form."

  Mason bent down and met the little Brainiac who was suspended from the old Luther's arms.

  He tilted his head and blinked and made a funny face at the silent but definitely smart mechanical kid in front of him. The latter seemed startled and flinched, but soon realized that this was Mason's kindness.

  So he hesitated for a moment, and put a stiff smile on his face, which triggered the uncanny valley effect of the chief captain, making the latter scratch his head for a while.

  After thinking for a while, Mason took out the silver activation key, and after pressing the switch, the power armor of the universe's power stored in the hyperspace suddenly appeared beside him.

   This "decisive weapon" belonging to the old Brainiac immediately attracted the attention of the young Brainiac as soon as it appeared.

   Obviously, although he has not had any contact with other Brainiacs, the common aesthetics and preferences among space-time aliens still make him full of curiosity about this set of power armor.

   "When I don't need it, you may be able to control it for me."

  Mason handed the silver key to Xiaobu in front of him, saying:

"This thing is the 'wheelchair armor' developed by Lao Bu for himself. Its underlying structural framework is set up for a cyborg like you. Although my brothers have tried their best to transform it, its original interface is still preserved. , you can manipulate it the Brainiac way.

   By the way, help me maintain the power armor system. "

The blue little cloth suspended in the air nodded vigorously, and was about to reach out to pick up Mason's activation key, but the latter retracted his fingers, as if playing a game, and stretched out his hand to flick on Xiaobu's forehead inlaid with an energy diffracter. For a moment, the latter hugged his hair and let out a cry of pain.

   "Is that what your grandpa taught you? What do you say when someone gives you a toy?"

The chief captain asked with his hips on his hips. Little Brainiac, who was suspended in the air, was obviously a little angry. The mechanical tentacles on his left arm had already stretched out like a group of predatory snakes, trying to wrap Mason up and beat him up. .

  But as the old Luther coughed moderately behind him, Xiao Bu immediately became obedient.

  He stared at Mason, rather reluctantly lowered his head and said in a mosquito-like voice:

   "Thank you uncle."

   "Called 'brother', I'm not that old."

Mason grinned, threw the activation key to Xiao Bu, and watched the other party float into the cockpit that bounced off. Instead of using normal access, he connected the mechanical tentacles of his left hand to the master of the universe without a teacher. In each original interface of Power Armor.

He was a little unskilled at first, and was frequently blocked by the firewall written by the engineer, but his eyes reflected a huge torrent of blue data, which was almost an exhaustive hard cracking method. After a few minutes, he empowered himself and became a The No. 2 driver of the active power armor of the universe, after closing the silver armor in the cockpit, the silver armor began to move as if it had life.

   "Ha, the genius kid driving the Gundam, this scene is really great."

  Mason hugged his arms and snorted, and the active power armor of the universe in front of him also imitated his movements and completed the movement of arms embracing, which was more flexible than Mason's manipulation.

   This is also normal.

  This is the legacy of the old cloth, and it is quite appropriate to be driven by another Brainiac.

   "This set of power armor can stabilize his immature mind and ensure that he can suppress his self-destruction in the event of possible energy rampage."

  Mason said to the old Luthor who was leaning on a cane beside him:

   "You taught Xiao Bu well. He didn't try to take control of this power armor away from me. This is a polite boy."

   "He won't always be so well behaved."

  Luther sighed and said:

  "Actually, my wisdom is already a bit powerless to deal with his rapidly growing thinking, and I entrust him to you because you may be the only life that can suppress him.

   After all, he is a child created by myself, and I don't want to see him follow the old path of other Brainiacs in the future.

  This is also a request. "

   After finishing speaking, the leader of the rebel army turned around and took out the fragment of Rorschach's diary in his hand from the safe in the secret room, and handed it to Mason.

He said:

"Here is the content of Rorschach's plan to find the end star. Maybe it can give you some inspiration between the lines. It is of little significance to us rebels who only want to overthrow the rule of the council. The end star is ours. Things that are incapable of touching."

   "Don't be so self-deprecating."

  Mason took the diary but didn't open it right away. He said to the old Luthor who was getting old but straight in front of him:

  "You should probably think about how to take over the planet and integrate it into the system of the new utopia plan after occupying and controlling Hope City.

  I believe that you have your own understanding of the direction and planning of the future world. After waiting for what I have to say last night, you can have an in-depth discussion on this issue with some of my companions who are obsessed with the art of **** and conquest plans. "

"I'm already old."

  Old Luthor shook his head. He looked at the little Brainiac who was walking around in the secret room in the active power armor of the universe. He said softly:

  "I should have been on the day when my world was taken and plundered, and every day I am alive now is a heavy blessing to me.

   Just like you have your own firm goals and put them into practice, although my partners and I cannot achieve the careers like yours, we also have our own pursuits.

  Seeing that we can disrupt the doomsday era with our own power and cause it to collapse and die in a barbaric organization is probably the best and most outstanding achievement we can do under this dark star.

   As for the future

   The future does not belong to me.

  Whoever is interested can participate and kick off the prelude to the re-competition. If I can see the day when the council collapses, then returning to my world and dying is the best ending I can get. "

   After finishing speaking, the crippled old man stepped forward leaning on a cane, and helped Brainiac Jr., who bounced off the cockpit, adjust some connection parameters of the power armor.

  As for Mason, the captain looked back at the busyness of the weird grandpa and grandson. He shrugged and left the secret room with the fragmented copy of Rorschach's diary in his hand.

   It's time to continue reading the sociopath's diary, unravel the mystery of the Endstar and prepare to advance your final mission.

  Hey Dom, hide your head and show your tail, hold on, the Lord will visit you soon.
