Chapter 314: Dementia (1/2)

Unlike the Red Skull in the anti-world, Apocalypse obviously has a more profound impact on this world.

This can be seen from the mutants who keep coming out of the fog.

These figures with different looks not only tell the difference between mutants and ordinary people, but also show the main tone of this world.

What's more special is that Colin has not seen any ordinary people among these figures for an unknown period of time.

This is obviously very different from the mutants in his memory.

The emergence of mutants is a special group formed by a part of people who are born with genetic mutations and have various superpowers.

Although they have powers far beyond ordinary people, they are still a minority compared to the huge number of ordinary people in the world, which is why mutants can only hide in normal society.

However, under the rule of Apocalypse, this world has obviously produced a certain situation reversal.

A large number of mutants occupy the mainstream of this world, whether it is the bodies that died under the ruins of the city or the people in front of him, they are telling him this.

The faint murmurs in his ears continued. Colin observed the expressions on the faces of the Avengers, and they didn't seem to hear similar sounds.

At first, he thought this situation only happened to him.

But with the appearance of these mutants, Colin found that the expressions on the faces of these mutants who walked out of the fog were distorted to varying degrees.

This was obviously not a normal phenomenon. Thinking of the battle in the city under his feet, Colin wondered if everything in front of him was caused by the death of Apocalypse.

"... Kill... the invaders..."

"All invaders... all... deserve to die..."

"Die... die... invaders..."

In [Super Hearing], the voices of the mutants in the fog were all transmitted to Colin's ears.

These mutants almost have no complete minds, and they act completely on instinct. They wander in the fog like zombies.

"Invaders... die!"

With a sharp roar, a mutant with three arms in the crowd stared with red eyes and rushed towards Colin and others in the ruins like a beast.

The action of this mutant was like a fuse, instantly igniting the mutants around who didn't have much rationality.

They roared wildly and rushed towards the Avengers like zombies.

"Be careful!"

Looking at these mutants rushing towards him, Captain America raised his shield and warned the Avengers behind him.

Thor grabbed the Storm Axe in his hand and was about to fight back, but a figure rushed up faster than him.

[Contact the distorted time node, collect a small amount of time fragments x1]

[Contact the distorted time node, collect a small amount of time fragments x0.5]

[Contact the distorted time node, collect a small amount of time fragments x0.5]

[Contact the distorted time node, collect a small amount of time fragments x2]

Although these mutants seem to be huge in number, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people in terms of strength. Not to mention Colin, even other members of the Avengers can easily defeat them after spending some time.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that there are still mutants left.

"Mr. Stark, did I miss something?"

The spider sense in his body returned to normal. Peter looked at the scene in front of him and asked with a blank expression under the mask.

"Obviously, not."

Inside the nano suit, Tony could see more clearly than Peter.

Through the slow motion of artificial intelligence, he could vaguely see a shadowy figure passing through these mutants.

However, this was the limit of what Friday could do.

If Colin, who had been upgraded to the level of [Super Speed ​​(Silver)], burst out his ability at full power, theoretically no one could detect his actions.

While Tony and Peter were talking, Colin's figure had returned to his original position.

The reason why he took such an active action was not only because of the collection of [Time Fragments], but also because he wanted to figure out what changes had taken place in the world after Apocalypse was defeated by Thanos.

These [Time Fragments] images obtained from the mutants were extremely fragmented, and could not even provide Colin with a complete picture, but through continuous piecing together, he still saw some clues from them.

By piecing together the broken images, Colin quickly deduced the changes in these mutants under the effect of [Super Brain Power].

According to the content presented in the images, in fact, these mutants had existed as ordinary people not long ago. However, with the huge explosion and roar, the whole New York turned into ashes and was shrouded in fog, and they gradually changed, lost in the fog and their appearance gradually changed from ordinary people to mutants.

It is worth mentioning that during the transformation process, these mutants more or less heard the faint murmurs.

And these sounds will become more and more frequent with the changes in their bodies.

This point is most clear in the body of someone who provided Colin with 2 [Time Fragments]. He is also the most powerful among this group of mutants. The hard skin wrapped in the shell lasted for 0.00001 seconds before being broken by Colin.

You know Colin's power now, even a city can be easily lifted by him. The opponent can withstand the immediate impact of his fist, which is enough to see how hard the carapace-like skin is.

"Come out."

Gathering his thoughts, he sorted out the broken images he saw from the [Time Fragments].

Colin did not inform the members of the Avengers of what he discovered. On the contrary, his eyes turned slightly and quickly fell on a black figure also hidden in the fog.

Peng——

As Colin finished speaking, the black shadow was obviously a little frightened.

He turned into a thick mist and disappeared into the fog, and the next second he flashed again in the ruins where the Avengers were.

Seeing this sudden figure, Tony and others subconsciously raised their cannons and aimed them at the target.

The nano shark cannon floating behind him condensed energy instantly.

"Wait a moment……"

However, just when Thor was about to swing his axe, the other party suddenly raised his hands and shouted loudly.

】

"I don't mean any harm."

Hearing the figure's cry, the Avengers instinctively stopped what they were doing. This was the first time they had encountered a being who could communicate normally since they came to this world.

He reached out and pulled off the hood on his head, revealing a dark blue face that was obviously different from ordinary people. Some lines of different shades could be vaguely seen on the surface of the skin all over the face.

"I just noticed the movement of the person with dementia, so I planned to come over and take a look at the situation."

"Dementia?"

Hearing the man's description, Tony under the nano suit couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glanced at the mutants around him. The expressions of the figures emerging from the fog did match the other party's description.

"Who are you?"

Withdrawing his gaze from the 'dementia', Captain America turned to look at the blue figure in front of him, and then asked.

"Survivors, or rationalists..."

The blue figure or Night Walker took a sneak peek at Colin in front of him. He originally just noticed the movement of the dementia patients and planned to take a peek at the situation here. Who would have thought that before he could see clearly, these dangerous disappearances would happen? The attackers had all fallen down, and the other party even discovered themselves hidden in the mist at a glance.

"We are the lucky survivors who survived the New York War. At the same time, we withstood the interference of the crazy factor and were not assimilated into the Dementia Sect in the first place."

When talking about the crazy factor, the expression on Nightcrawler's face became obviously frightened.

The crazy factor is what these surviving mutants refer to, and it refers to the crazy will left behind after Apocalypse's death.

As a powerful mutant, Apocalypse seems to have extremely terrifying abilities that can affect surviving mutants even after death.

Nightcrawler witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of a mutant affected by the madness factor losing consciousness and becoming a dementia patient.

"us?"

Sensing the description from Nightcrawler, Tony put away the nano shark cannon behind him and asked.

"So, there are many survivors like you?"

"Of course, because of the Prophet's relationship, we built a shelter on the ruins of New York to take in mutants who still maintain their sanity."

Having said this, Night Walker looked up at the Avengers, Colin and others in front of him.

"That's where all the rational mutants gather. If you're looking for shelter, I can take you there."

In Nightcrawler's mind, the person who can maintain normal communication of will is the rational fellow mutant.

Facing Nightcrawler's invitation, the Avengers couldn't help but look at each other.

"But we are not mutants."

Finally, Captain America spoke up and told the truth.

"If you're not mutants, then what are you?"

Hearing this, Night Walker's face clearly showed surprise.

He looked at Vision in front of him. He looked like a mutant.

"Avengers, our identities are very complicated anyway."

Faced with Nightcrawler's doubts, Steve and others didn't know how to explain it for a while. There were cyborgs, Asgardians, Hulk, Spider-Man, and almost everyone in the Avengers, but there were no mutants. .

Shaking his head, Nightcrawler obviously had little understanding of Stephen's explanation, but he looked at the Avengers in front of him and made a decision after hesitating for a moment.

"Whether you are mutants or not, you are definitely not a demented person. In this case, you are a member of the rational faction. I believe the prophet will agree with me to take you to the shelter. It is daytime now, and the demented faction in the fog Mutants are not dangerous yet, and those powerful mutants will appear at night, and you may encounter unexpected dangers if you continue to stay in the ruins. "

Although, even if the powerful mutants mentioned by Nightwalker appear, Colin and others will most likely not encounter any danger.

But considering what the opponent said was a sanctuary for mutants, after some discussion, the Avengers still thought it was necessary to contact them.

This will not only help them understand the truth of the world, but also everyone hopes to find a way to go back.

The Avengers have not forgotten the purpose of returning.

In the mist, under the leadership of the Night Walker, a group of people gradually disappeared into the depths of the city ruins.

…

Kacha——

Just as everyone left, a figure also wrapped in a linen hood teleported into the ruins.

“What did you find?”

A hoarse voice came from under the hood of the mutants watching the ruins.

“Some spatial fluctuations, and traces of fighting.”

Then, another charming voice sounded.

Taking a step, the figure came to the mutant’s body with a long series of phantoms, looking at the ruins that were frozen and thrown aside, and a third low voice came from under the hood: “It seems that a battle should have taken place here not long ago, and these people should have left not long ago…”

“So it’s those guys who call themselves rationalists?”

A disdainful voice sounded.

“It shouldn’t be them.”

Shaking his head, the low voice answered on its own.

At the same time, an arm covered with scars stretched out from under the coat covered with linen, and instantly decomposed the frozen ruins in front of him into a large amount of rubble and crushed them.

"... Kill... the invaders... Kill..."

A roar that was exactly the same as the previous mutant sounded, and was quickly covered by a new voice.

"Who is it?"

"Susan."

"Is she crazy too?"

"Her will was originally the weakest among us, and it is reasonable that she is affected by the madness factor."

Standing in front of the mutant's body, the figure under the hood kept talking to himself. This scene was even crazier and weirder than the mutant's appearance before.

"Find... Found it!"

However, a low voice soon sounded again, and at the same time a stuttering voice also said carefully.

Turning his head to the direction where the Avengers left, the voice said carefully.

"I... I found... the smell of an outsider... He... They are not... mutants."

"Not mutants?"

The stuttering voice was the content revealed, causing many unexpected sounds of densely packed voices to be heard under the hood.

"How is it possible? Since Apocalypse died, the whole world has been infected."

"Maybe they are not from this world."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't forget the war, the one who killed Apocalypse."

"Anyway, find these guys, they must know something, maybe they can help our plan."

"Understood!"

Accompanied by various intertwined sounds, the figure in the ruins jumped high, and then a pair of huge wings emerged from his back, taking him deep into the fog.
