i'm the villain

Chapter 365 No. 0

When Barnes opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the hospital bed.

The moment he woke up, the pain piercing all over his body instantly poured into his mind.

……

He was badly injured.

Even with such an anti-human special ability, it can't withstand a whole building falling down.

Fortunately, he was saved by a special support structure in the ruins, otherwise he would really have to end up in pieces.

……

...

"Eh? Woke up."

At this time, the voice of a man in his 30s rang out in the ward.

"I just said that this guy doesn't die so easily."

Barnes looked in the direction of the voice.

A short-haired man still wearing various equipment was sitting on a chair with a bag of potato chips in his hand.

In addition to this man eating potato chips, there are several beds in the ward.

Counting Barnes himself, a total of 4 people were lying on the hospital bed.

These people are no strangers to Barnes.

They were all part of the team of agents that had just been assigned to him by the AHB executives.

There are seven people in total.

Although there was no formal meeting before, the first meeting between the two parties was after the mission was issued, and each wore a closed armed helmet, which was not easy to identify.

But Barnes had seen all of their profiles long ago.

There are a total of seven detectives in this team, and their respective code names are also very simple, from No. 1 to No. 7.

No. 1 is their internal leader, and he is the only one who can truly lead the team other than the captains who have died.

The age of No. 1 is not too young, it is 41 years old now.

A seasoned detective.

Only he can restrain these other rebellious guys.

Barnes looked at the surrounding beds, and found that No. 1 was lying on the bed at the far end, apparently still in a coma.

……

And No. 2 is the only woman in the team.

Similar to other female detectives in the AHB Research Center, No. 2 belongs to the kind of woman who is silent but very straightforward in doing things.

Now the slender figure standing outside the balcony smoking a cigarette is No. 2.

As for No. 3, he is a guy who likes to use some kind of cloaking device.

He usually takes on some more dangerous tasks in the team, just like before when facing the white giant, he sneaked into the giant's side to place the golden card.

And No. 3 was also one of the few uninjured people in this mission, and he was the guy sitting on the chair holding potato chips at this time.

The other two lying on the hospital bed were twins.

They were No. 4 and No. 5. It seemed that these two unlucky ones were not seriously injured. Some joints on their bodies were covered with bandages, but they did not fall into a coma like No. 1.

As for the remaining two people, they are No. 6, code-named Eagle, and No. 7, the heavy fireman.

Eagle is a sniper, and he is not in the ward at the moment. Barnes saw a figure standing outside the door. If he guessed correctly, he should be Eagle.

This sniper was the youngest in the entire old fritters team, but he was still four years older than Barnes.

The last number 7 left, this irascible old man was smashed by the ruins of the building and broke his leg, and is now being sent to the intensive care unit for treatment.

So there are six people in the room including Barnes.

……

The voice of Invisible 3 caught the attention of the others.

Several other people turned their attention to Barnes.

This is their youngest leader ever, and one of the few who survived the mission successfully.

"Little brother, your life is really tough."

No. 3 came to Barnes' bed with a smile.

"Okay."

Barnes smiled wryly.

He's in pain all over his body now.

This is the first time he has suffered such a serious injury since his body acquired this strange ability to absorb energy.

It can be seen that the energy exerted on him in that battle not long ago has far exceeded his ability to bear.

Fortunately, he still survived.

"Don't worry, the doctor said that your condition is not serious, it's just that the nervous system has suffered an excessive load, and now you may feel severe pain, but in fact your injuries did not involve bones, but some soft tissue injuries , recovery should be faster." No. 3 said to Barnes, chewing potato chips.

"That's good."

Barnes said calmly.

Then he asked Number 3, "How about the others?"

"No. 1 may have a more serious problem, and may have to lie on the hospital bed for a while." No. 3 looked at the leader No. 1 who was still in a coma, and then pointed to the brothers on the other two beds and said: "These two are small problems."

The twin brothers have almost identical faces.

They nodded at Barnes.

"If it's 7, if you break a leg, it's probably a lot of trouble, because the whole leg was smashed..."

Speaking of this, No. 3 looked a little regretful.

"However, at least he survived, so he is considered lucky."

"Me and No. 2 and the Eagles were uninjured."

……

...

Although No. 3 spoke slowly, but invisibly, maybe he didn't realize it himself, he had put the potato chips on the table, turned his hands behind his back, and said to Barnes in the gesture of a subordinate reporting the situation to the superior with these situations.

……

This picture surprised No. 2 who came back from the balcony and the eagle who came in from the corridor.

Because every team leader in the past, no matter who they were, has never been treated with such a serious attitude by No. 3.

But they didn't think there was any problem.

Because when they were on the battlefield, they all witnessed how Barnes stopped in front of No. 1 and helped him forcefully resist the pursuit of the white giant.

It can be said that if it weren't for Barnes, there might be a few people left in this team.

Such a thing has never happened to the past 22 team leaders.

……

and so.

Subconsciously, every team member has accepted this young leader.

For a long time, they thought that they didn't need any team leaders, and in fact they did, because they had good enough fighting qualities and good enough leaders——No. There is no need for a so-called team leader. They have submitted applications to their superiors many times, wanting No. 1 to be the team leader, but they failed every time.

This made them reject all the leaders sent by their superiors even more.

And those guys really didn't live up to expectations, and they could always be sent to see God by various people during the mission.

All these guys who have been old fritters for a long time have become the thorns among the AHB field agents. They have qualifications, strengths, and qualifications, and they are very troublesome existences for senior management at all levels.

However, today, these old fritters have unanimously accepted this young junior who is only in his early 20s.

For them, what they need is not a leader with strong leadership skills or good commanding skills, they only need a guy who is pleasing to the eye, and this guy who fights like a mad dog is very pleasing to the eye.

……

After reporting all the casualties on the 3rd, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became a little quiet.

Barnes narrowed his eyes.

He also realized that something was wrong with the eyes of these guys.

"Uh... do you have anything to say?"

he asked in a low voice.

……

"I've seen it all for you." Number 3 shrugged and said, "I have something to inform you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Barnes asked.

"Congratulations, you are now No. 0 of our team." No. 3 moved his lips and said.

"Number 0?" Barnes froze for a moment.

"It's our team leader." Number 3 explained.

"Oh~" He nodded suddenly.

My heart is a little strange.

Wasn't he already the leader of this team when the mission order from the superior came down?It turns out that these guys didn't take themselves seriously at first...

The subordinate "notifies" the superior: Congratulations, you are now our leader.

This is really unheard of.

But Barnes didn't express what was in his heart. He nodded with a smile: "Very good, I like this code name, zero."

"We have reached a consensus on this matter internally, and No. 1 will definitely not have any objections." No. 3 nodded and said:
"Let me tell you this, the more than 20 captains in our team are all beasts, beasts, garbage, and parasites, but you look different from them, so what you have to do next is very simple. It's easy..."

"What's the matter?" Barnes asked.

"Try to live as long as possible." No. 3 showed an intriguing smile.

"Uh...oh, I understand." Barnes nodded.

He naturally knew what No. 3 meant.

After all, it doesn't mean that the players accepted him as a success.

You know, the past 20 or so team leaders all lost their lives in missions.

The leader position of this Suicide Squad team is not so easy to take.

Fortunately, Barnes is quite confident about saving his life.

After all, he himself is very difficult to die.

……

However, after this mission, Barnes also realized the metaphysics of this team. Perhaps serving as their team leader will indeed become more dangerous in the dark.

No, just a few days after taking office, Barnes ushered in his first serious injury after gaining the ability.

It seems that there is indeed a little bit of metaphysics...

……

"Then, thanks for taking care of me, seniors."

Barnes smiled and nodded to No. 2 by the balcony and the eagle by the door.

The latter two also nodded slightly to him to show their friendship.

For this new guy, although they are indeed more pleasing to the eye, as an old self-governing old fritters, even if they want to lower their stance, they can't be too fast, and they still have to act cold for the time being...

Obviously, every team member has a small and arrogant heart...

……

"So... oh yes, how about the last mission?"

Barnes thought for a while before realizing that the battle was still going on when he passed out. He just woke up and found that the casualties of the team members were relatively optimistic. He subconsciously believed that the mission should go smoothly.

After all, under the circumstances at that time, as long as they insisted on delaying for a few minutes, it should be enough for the backup troops to catch up and provide support.

However, when he asked this sentence, Barnes saw that the faces of No. 3 and the others suddenly became colder, and then he realized that things should not be as simple as he thought.

……

"Well, the situation is more complicated. We haven't received the most accurate response yet. I guess those guys above have one head and two big heads..." No. 3 shrugged and said.

"How to say?" Barnes blinked, he didn't quite understand what No. 3 meant.

"Here's this, you can see for yourself." Number 3 took out a tablet from behind him and handed it to Barnes.

Barnes tried to raise his hand to take it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift his arm.

Now he panicked.

However, No. 3 waved his hand and said to him: "Don't panic, it's a small problem. Your nervous system has encountered some troubles and needs time to recover. During the recovery period, you will have some problems in controlling your body. I'll hold the computer for you, just look at it."

No. 3 held up the tablet computer, clicked on the computer screen, and played the latest news.

It was the horrific battle that took place in the city center last night that was on the news.

What appeared on the screen were the ruins of collapsed buildings and the entire street that had been blown to pieces.

Words such as "the military's reckless action measures" and "warplanes destroyed the building caused more than 300 casualties" scrolled on the screen.

After reading these news reports, coupled with some simple explanations from No. 3, Barnes quickly understood how the fight last night ended.

Regarding the collapse of the entire building, he himself did not expect such consequences.

And his keen sense of smell told him that the force that hijacked the military fighter plane was most likely the phoenix that Rael mentioned before.

Although there is no clear information indicating that it is the Phoenix company, Barnes' intuition is so.

From the very beginning of his pursuit of Yang, until he gradually learned the many secrets behind these things through Rael Adam, Barnes knew that now he was facing a behemoth with a deep foundation.

The extent to which the other party can do whatever they want far exceeds their own predictions.

He used to think that the world is completely under the shroud of law, most things are in order, only a small number of special cases need to be resolved by institutions like AHB, but it is only now that he realizes , he still thought too well.

Outlaws are far more terrifying than he imagined.
