Chapter 1391 The Call of the Stars (XVII)

"Can we really survive?"

Rocket Raccoon stood on the edge of the sink, he asked somewhat dejectedly, then tilted his head and looked at the arm of Star Lord Quill, where the lower part of the sleeve was empty.

Rocket Raccoon closed his eyes, pressed his eyelids with his claws, and said painfully: "I can't believe that just a few hours ago, you performed an amputation on yourself here, you really, you really..."

Rocket Raccoon couldn't say the second half of the sentence. He actually wanted to ask "Are you really still awake?", or he wanted to ask "Are you crazy?", but when he thought that everything Quill had experienced was actually caused by him, he couldn't ask these sharp questions.

What happened the night before was so terrible that Rocket Raccoon didn't know what Quill had seen. He only saw him scratching his arm constantly, shouting wildly, and then twitching in pain and foaming at the mouth, while smashing his elbow with heavy concrete fragments, and then cutting off half of his arm.

Rocket Raccoon has traveled all over the interstellar society and has seen many terrible things, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange situation. He can't find the enemy at all, so he has no way to resist.

The raccoon felt extremely guilty for not being able to help, but he couldn't help but give up on himself. He shook his tail helplessly and said, "Maybe it will be my turn tomorrow night, maybe we will all die here?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Quill used his only remaining hand to hold a blade and shaved his stubble in front of the mirror on the washstand in the bathroom.

He didn't look bitter or vengeful, but on the contrary, he looked a little cheerful. When the sun shone on him, he seemed even more out of tune with the depressing atmosphere around him.

"In fact, I already have some ideas." Quill tilted his head left and right, touched his smooth chin in the mirror and said, "Do you think there are too few monsters in this world?"

"Is this still too few? Do you want them to fill the world and swallow us?!" Rocket Raccoon shouted in confusion.

"Didn't you see it when you came here? Most of the bodies lying on the ground only had part of the torso left. That part was missing. I guess the monsters might have hatched from there."

"If everyone was parasitized and a monster was hatched, then the number of monsters would be too small. If not everyone was parasitized, then judging from the number of monsters, the survivors could not have been silent."

"Although a little pessimistic, I still tend to believe that a monster was hatched in almost everyone's body, but I don't know where these monsters went after leaving the mother body."

After shaving, Quill walked to the window of the hospital and looked at the road. There were many monsters dragging some human limbs on the road, but there were not many of them, and they were not dense at all. They did not move fast, and their desire to attack was not strong. It seemed that they were just following their instinct to find food.

"I have a weird feeling." Quill, standing in front of the window, stared at the broken road and said, "These monsters generated from the human body are not meant to attack humans. This is not an infectious virus."

"Oh my God! Listen to what nonsense you are talking about!" Rocket Raccoon jumped onto Quill's shoulder, turned his head and looked at him and said, "The city has been destroyed like this, do you still want to applaud these monsters?"

Quill shook his head and didn't explain any more. He sighed, turned around and began to pack his luggage with his only remaining hand, but in fact he didn't have anything to bring, so he packed some medical supplies and canned food found in the warehouse in a large package that he had found in the patient's personal belongings cabinet, and left the hospital with the bag on his back.

Although there were not many monsters on the road, it was still quite troublesome to avoid them. Quill relied on his good skills and mostly acted on the roofs of low buildings. The small rocket launcher loaded on Rocket Raccoon's arm could repel some monsters that wanted to climb up.

In this way, they walked between the residential areas in Queens, New York. Before the next night, Quill climbed to the top of a tall building in the business district and looked at the whole New York.

"My guess was right. The monsters are indeed moving in one direction." Quill stretched out his hand to block the bright sunlight, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

It is not difficult to come to this conclusion. The traces of mucus left on the ground and tall buildings alone are enough to show that these monsters have made a large migration in the recent period of time. At least 90% of the monsters have gathered towards a certain point in New York.

Quill sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not a New Yorker. I don't know where their final destination is. I can only take it one step at a time."

"Where is their destination?"

Wanda asked, holding Jarvis' hand tightly. At this time, several people had already walked out of the residential area and climbed a building, but under Xu Shangqi's suggestion, they did not go to the roof, but climbed to the upper floors, entered an abandoned office, and found a room with a guardrail in front of the window to look out.

Hearing Wanda's question, Jarvis' expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and uttered a few words: "New York Central Park."

"Oh my God, why do monsters want to go there?" Wanda spread her hands and said helplessly: "Don't tell me they want to go there to see the scenery."

"I think there is something attracting them." Jarvis stared out the window with a serious face. When he was the only intact and unaffected member of the entire team, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the leader. But he actually didn't want to do that.

For a long time, he was just Stark's assistant. Intelligent life itself is good at following orders and acting. It is the first time for Jarvis to become the leader of a team and have complete decision-making power. , completely contrary to his instinct.

But he had to do it. His team couldn't be said to be missing arms or legs, it could only be said to be lacking everything except arms and legs. Laili couldn't hear, Wanda couldn't see, Xu Shangqi couldn't speak, and the three of them At the same time, I will be disturbed by that terrible power, and I wonder if I can survive the next night.

So, Jarvis thought for a while and said: "We should head towards New York's Central Park, but first we should find a car."

The others had no objections, so they came downstairs together. Fortunately, they were not far from an exhibition venue, and there was a car show there.

Several people went to the exhibition hall as quickly as possible, hoping to rescue a intact car. However, unexpectedly, there were not no intact cars at the auto show, but too many, and almost none of them was damaged.

Putting aside the horrible slime and messy corpses on the surface of the car and the surrounding ground, the condition of the car was even quite good, and many of the cars used for test drives were full of fuel, which really made it difficult for a few people to understand.

Generally speaking, when the end of the world comes, the most vulnerable to destruction are various means of transportation, especially civilian means of transportation. They are not born for defense. A slight bump, the kind of bump that is beyond the scope of ordinary people's strength, can easily lead to destruction. Will fall apart.

When a powerful mutant like Wanda fights with others, he will blow up at least a few cars with a wave of his hand. It is obviously abnormal that the cars here can be so well preserved.

"What's going on? Don't those monsters attack cars?" Wanda was confused after hearing Jarvis's description. She continued: "If they attack indiscriminately, then these cars must be easier to damage than buildings. If If they intend to cause mass destruction, they will definitely attack vehicles first to prevent humans from escaping.”

"They probably weren't thinking about attacking."

Laili just said this sentence and then fell silent, Wanda also fell silent, and Jarvis couldn't understand what riddles they were playing. He could only find a car he thought was the most suitable and checked it out. After finding out that there was no problem with the car, several people got on the car.

We drove all the way without encountering any monsters, but the doubts in the hearts of several people became more and more intense. The city was destroyed, and everything was dilapidated. It looked like a doomsday scene. But the problem was that there were too few monsters and they were not aggressive. The supplies were not in short supply, and judging from the state of the corpses, there was no riot.

There are even many shops with generators that still have lights on, and the goods on the shelves are complete and have not been looted. There are no bullet holes or other wounds caused by modern weapons on the mutilated corpses. This is not logical at all.

If the hatching of this kind of monster is like a zombie virus outbreak, it will definitely cause panic among the crowd. Ordinary people who see the monster will flee in panic. The police will try to maintain public order and attack the monster. If the news spreads, it will cause Large-scale private hoarding of materials.

But the current scene is like the moment before everyone died, the remaining people were still living normally.

This was even more frightening than the chaotic scene.

The biggest fear comes from the unknown. Several people present have more or less seen the chaotic and dilapidated scenes in some zombie movies. Although it is sad and angry enough, it is not unacceptable, but now this is the calm before the storm. , but let a deeper fear grow in everyone's hearts.

With a "Zila" sound, the car stopped.

The three people in the team who still had sight looked up and saw a huge temple in the middle of New York's Central Park with a painting style that was completely different from all the surrounding buildings.

"God, what is this?!" Lai Li couldn't help but exclaimed. Jarvis blinked, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "It looks like it has some oriental style, wait. Wait, that decorative pattern should exist in my database... Kama Taj!"

Upon hearing this name, Wanda immediately exclaimed: "Oh, yes, if the world is destroyed, what about the mages? Are the mages still alive?"

"Time Stone, if the Master Supreme still possesses the Time Stone, then maybe we can..."

Wanda's words stopped abruptly, because she thought that if the Master Supreme could really use the Time Stone to reverse the current situation, he would have done it long ago. If he did not do so, it meant that there was no way back.

Wanda took a deep breath, and then sighed again. She held Jarvis's hand tightly, and even half-leaned on him. Miss Witch rarely made such unreserved actions, but she was serious. Feeling desperate.

Jarvis hugged her, held her back, buried his head in her neck and shoulders, and said, "It's okay, Wanda, we will survive."

“But it’s getting dark soon.” Wanda cried, “It’s getting dark again. Can we really survive this night?”

Xu Shangqi and Lai Li seemed a little silent. They had no confidence to answer this question. They had only been here for the third day, but the torture and darkness they had experienced were more than all they had experienced in their previous lives.

“We will.” Jarvis raised his head and quietly watched the sun setting on the skyline. An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and then he said, “No matter what, I will let you live.”
