Chapter 2: Ruins
Yes, the silver-haired man in front of him is the famous mutant ------ Quicksilver with Zhang Yu's memory.
But at this moment, he is indescribably miserable from the point of view of appearance, his hair has not been taken care of for too long and has begun to knot, and his face is full of beard, no one can imagine that this is a nineteen-year-old young man.
The most surprising thing is the empty sleeve on his right side, his right arm has been cut off, and this kind of injury is not bandaged properly by the other party, just to stop the bleeding and do something hastily, which also causes the wound on his right arm to grow even if it is grown at super speed, it is extremely hideous.
Zhang Yu met Pietro a week ago, when he was fighting with a dog for food, he had been hungry for a long time, the speed of Gao Qiang brought a high metabolism, if it wasn't for Zhang Yu, he would have starved to death, and other scavengers would not care if he lived or died.
Petro was wary of Zhang at first, but after getting acquainted with him, he slowly let go, and he told Zhang some of his experiences, such as how he was imprisoned in a mutant prison by Professor X and how he escaped.
The last time because of his escape, he had his arm cut off when he was caught.
Taking out a bag of bread and two bottles of beer from his bag, Zhang Yu kept one for himself and handed it to Pietro before continuing.
"Listen, Pietro, I don't know how powerful Professor X is without a brainwave amplifier, but what I do know is that all mutants can be detected by him when they use their abilities, and I don't want to be surrounded by a large group of people as soon as I open my eyes, I believe that you finally escaped, but you didn't want to be caught again."
Hearing this, Pietro also thought of what happened before, he didn't speak, sat down quietly, opened the beer with one hand and poured it violently.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu also sighed, this damn world, while not giving superpowers a way to live, not only do not give ordinary people a way to live, in the context of the outbreak of the economic crisis, all countries have been greatly impacted, and the Eagle Country is naturally no exception, which is why Professor X wants to destroy the Avengers as soon as possible.
Prices are skyrocketing, many people are displaced, and states are in chaos, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the world war will happen again, and now, the world has begun to linger, just hoping for the last person to fire the first shot to cover the coffin of the world.
There are rumors out there that the world is going to end, that the end is coming, and only those mutant lunatics can survive it.
Indeed, in this world, the vast majority of superpowers actually don't have superpowers, such as the old man who claims to be the reincarnation of Thor, and Wakanda doesn't have vibranium falling, and Black Panther is just a gangster name.
As for magic, Zhang Yao searched for three days and three nights in New York but did not find the legendary 177A Black Street, the place known as the New York Sanctuary, the 177A of this world, is a nightclub that is about to go bankrupt.
As for the superhero Iron Fist who inherited the 'qi', Zhang Yu didn't find any information about him, maybe he died in that accident a long time ago, just like the Daredevil lawyer Ma who was hit by a car and died.
There may be no so-called supernatural abilities in this world at all, only those ordinary people who died in various accidents, and those 'mutant monsters' with genetic mutations.
However, even with superpowers, the mutants in this world are not so powerful, on the contrary, the genetic mutation brings them not a gift, but an uncontrolled disaster.
Magneto's superpower became a passive skill, he released his magnetic force all the time, for which he had to install a degaussing device, but more than a dozen years ago, he had an accident at the airport, and an agent inadvertently destroyed his degaussing device, causing several planes to be attracted by his magnetic force, and Magneto was killed on the spot.
Another example is the Witch Shape, who can take on the form of anyone, but at the same time receives the influence of the other person's personality, which makes her suffer from a variety of personality disorders, and she will die on the street if she is not careful.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu set his eyes on Pietro on the opposite side, perhaps, only this guy is lucky, Quicksilver's ability is super thinking ability and super speed.
In the comics, Quicksilver's superpowers are difficult to explain, and he even has the ability to reduce the flow of time around him and increase his own speed, just like the scene in the movie version of Quicksilver saving people, he can reduce the speed around him, and then save people while listening to songs.
But here, Pietro is not so powerful, he is just a fast mutant, and Zhang Yu even suspects that his speed can't dodge bullets.
"How's it going out there?" After a moment of silence, Pietro asked.
"The war is coming, and many people have already begun to jump off the building in groups, and Professor X has not moved, probably because he wants to hold back, and now the gangsters in the country are ready to move."
"What about the Avengers?"
"It's all dead, even the old man who claims to be the reincarnation of Thor has been killed, and the rest are hiding even if they don't die, I don't have the power to find them, if I keep collecting their information, people will target them."
"You say, can we really succeed?" Petro was a little worried, at his age, he should have gone to school, but now, he has become a wanted criminal.
"Yes." Zhang Yu said firmly. "If we don't believe in ourselves, we won't succeed in anything."
"I've heard that there is a riot in Texas and there is no going on on the Mexican border, maybe this is our chance, if it succeeds, we can get out of this damn world, but only if what you say is true."
"What I said is true, and I can't lie to you." Pietro immediately retorted, seemingly angry at Zhang's distrust.
Zhang Yu didn't say anything, he also knew that the probability of Pietro deceiving him was basically zero, because this was also something he accidentally discovered, and it was impossible for Pietro in this world to know what that thing was.
Quicksilver was arrested and imprisoned for stealing, this guy didn't just steal from the merchants and the rich, maybe because the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, or maybe he felt that he couldn't fail, this guy was so bold that he broke into Professor X's secret room and wanted to steal those 'treasures' inside.
The secret room was created by Professor X himself, and it contained countless secret treasures and trophies from the victory over the Avengers, but probably because there was no supernatural energy in this world, most of those secret treasures had lofty names but no actual use.
For example, the Dark Divine Book obtained by encircling the heretics, and the Book of the Visan Emperor snatched from Strange, but those are basically fancy and have no practical effect, like nonsense written by a madman, and no one can learn any spells from it.
But as Quicksilver narrates, something in the secret room catches Zhang Yu's attention.
It was a small yellow box, the same size as a mobile phone, but it looked very delicate, it was definitely not a creation of the earth, and interestingly, there was a round orange biscuit with hands and feet that could only laugh.
No one knew what it was, but Zhang Yu did.
It's not an orange cookie at all, it's Miss Time, it's a product of TVA (Time Anomaly Administration), and that phone-like thing should be a time controller.
In the American drama [Loki], TVA is an organization established by Kang, he maintains the operation of the sacred timeline to avoid the outbreak of multiverse wars, they have a very powerful ability, they can travel between different multiverses, and can cut out parallel worlds to prevent time paradoxes, which can be seen from the drawer of Infinity Stones in Loki's first season.
However, this organization has not appeared a few times in the comics, and there is no chance of appearance in major events, and occasionally playing soy sauce is considered an empty shelf product.
But this is great news for Zhang Yu.
Although I don't know why this world has undergone such a change, as long as I can get the time controller, I can leave this ruin-like end world, Zhang Yu doesn't think that he can survive the next nuclear war.
After drinking the wine, Zhang Yu looked at Pietro, who had already finished eating bread, and said.
"Prepare, let's leave tonight."
