[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

The Master Chief didn't know what happened, just when Cortana told him that something seemed wrong, a lot of people rushed over in the cabin and wanted to eat him.That's right, it was really 'eaten'.Immediately afterwards, the beautiful Natasha put all these people down. Originally, the Master Chief thought that he would know what was going on right away, but who would have thought that these people... are not normal at all.

"Not very good." Bucky touched his bionic arm, if it was soft, then there must be a tooth mark on it now.But it's a pity that there are only some bloodstains on it now, because an idiot actually bit it down so hard that his teeth were actually broken.Although this is worth complaining about, Bucky only thought of one word and the plot of some horror movie, "Have you seen that movie?"

"Ah, I know, it's written down in Steve's little notebook." Natasha responded casually, she found a longer weapon and said, "But it's not scientific at all, is it? ? This is not a movie."

"We just traveled through time and space, what science is not scientific?" Bucky retorted, and he kicked a guy who rushed towards him. From the clothes, these people were all crew members of the Midsummer Night, but the two His eyes lit up, as if he hadn't eaten meat for hundreds of years and suddenly saw a plate of fried chicken, he rushed towards normal people, even if his limbs were broken, he still wouldn't stop, as if he didn't feel any pain at all, " Where did Mercer go at this time?"

"He said, maybe he is eating all these things happily?" Natasha can imagine Alex's expression now, because it has been too long since he has devoured human beings. In Alex's own words, it is' Malnutrition' too.And these zombie-like things are providing him with a feast of human beings, but they may have some strange viruses on them.But the DX-1118 can swallow everything, and its counterparts are no exception.

"Is this what he eats?"

No no, shouldn't the point of surprise be 'he actually eats people'? !The Master Chief didn't know how to complain, he really couldn't figure out what was wrong with this group of people.Faced with everything, there is a feeling of 'Oh, what is this, I have seen a bigger scene'... Suddenly I really want to know what the world was like 500 years ago to create such a group of strange guys Come.

"Hey! Bucky! Natasha!!" Dr. Pim's voice sounded at this time, followed by a hoarse scream of zombies and the viscous sound of some kind of muscle separating blood. People saw bloodshot eyes at the end of the corridor. From there, red blood vessel-like things began to spread out on the wall. They grew more and more, and then stretched out their tentacles to wrap around the bodies of those zombies that suddenly became frightened and timid, and then tore them apart and absorbed them!

"Oh my god...you never told me he would do something like this." Bucky looked at the source of it all, Alex standing at the end of the corridor, the veins spreading from him and being pulled back, in the After the nearby zombies—or all flesh and blood—disappeared, those blood vessels quickly returned to Alex's body, "This is really... kinda cool."

"It's also the first time I've seen it." Natasha had only seen Alex devour a human being once.Seriously, she was intimidated that time.The screams of human beings and the aroused bloodshot made her feel the innate fear brought from every cell in the body, which was inherited from ancient times between the hunted and the hunter, It's the horrible feeling a creature down the food chain would have when it saw something up the food chain, "but I don't think that's cool at all."

"You look good, Mercer." Bucky didn't seem to agree with Natasha's opinion. To him, fear didn't seem to be a bad thing, not to mention that Alex is a companion, right?Bucky knows this, although they are always running on each other, but... but companions are companions, there is no need to be afraid of the existence of companions, "Are you full?"

"Honestly? No." Alex moved his body, spread his hands and said, "But, eating like this is tasteless. Although I miss it a little...but I don't like it very much."

"Liar, I think you're very happy." Bucky ruthlessly broke through Alex's words, and he said, "By the way, what's going on here?"

"I don't know." Alex said with an expression of 'why ask me', "Let the captain explain. I'm only responsible for killing people."

Captain Lorenzo was still in shock, but he was very happy to see the Master Chief here.Normal people!It's great to finally see something reliably normal!He came out from behind Alex, wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said, "It's great to meet you, Master Chief...I'm afraid there is a big problem on our ship."

"Is something wrong with the bridge? Sir?" The Master Chief is also very happy to finally see his own people. He really can't get in the middle of this group of guys who don't know where they came from. Captain Lorenzo can replace him. It's nice to have your own voice of reason.

"We are the only ones left on the bridge. Master Chief." Captain Lorenzo gestured to the adjutant beside him who was so frightened that he almost collapsed, and then said, "I'm afraid this is the mission belt at the rebel base not long ago." The bad results. The bastards of the MIA have tricked us again. If we want to survive, we must first gain control of the Midsummer Night, but the bio-isolation protocol has completely failed. This ship is full of unknown viruses and other Infected."

"Is it the rebels..." The rebels have been panicking recently.In order to defeat the UNSC at this time... Shouldn't human beings unite to resist foreign enemies?What kind of hatred is there to overthrow the UNSC?The Master Chief couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that now was not the time to think about it. He said, "Is there no way to treat it?"

"There's nothing we can do, Master Chief. First, we can't bring this virus back to Earth and the defense formations, and second, we don't know if we'll survive the rest of the day. The ship's doctor is dead, and we've lost control of the ship." " Captain Lorenzo shook his head, he said, "I asked Cortana to send a message to the Earth headquarters, we can't go to Earth temporarily."

"I see, sir."

I'm afraid the order from the Earth Headquarters should be to stand by on the spot.This kind of time will not send additional personnel, because the protection of the earth is more important.Then the translation of the command is 'solve it yourself, or die cleanly'.

"I'm not sure if there are any other survivors." Captain Lorenzo shook his head, he said, "but there is a way to clear all the viruses and their carriers at once. Engine room and bridge occupied by the infected."

"I can." Alex seemed to see some kind of opportunity, he said, "You see, these things are not threatening to me."

"...It is true. I will not ask the reason now." Captain Lorenzo made a wise decision, he said, "Can you help us?"

"Of course... I mean, if it's cooperation." Ignoring his companion's slightly surprised eyes, Alex looked at Captain Lorenzo and smiled, "I have conditions."

"Really, that's really fair enough..." Captain Lorenzo didn't seem to have expected this, he said, "Then let's talk about your conditions."

"Take us to Onix Star." Alex stated his condition very bluntly, "Otherwise, you and your zombie crew will create the legend of the ghost ship here."

"I told you that I don't know where the Onix star is." Captain Lorenzo explained with a headache, "Even if there is such a planet, it is a secret of the Military Intelligence Bureau! We have no way of obtaining the coordinates!"

"Well, anyway, I don't care about the zombie crisis." Alex spread his hands, and he said, "It's a bit nostalgic to say it, the city is full of zombies."

"Uh..." Captain Lorenzo was completely at a loss. He looked back at Dr. Pym and said something to me!I really don't know where that Onix star is! !

"Well, Alex..." Dr. Pim, who received the captain's distress signal, had no choice but to plead, although he knew that even if he pleaded, the effect would not be too great, "Captain, he doesn't know that Onix The stars are there, and if the surviving crew are left alone, they're all going to die..."

"To be honest, doctor, I don't care about the life and death of human beings at all." Alex raised his eyebrows slightly, and he said, "If you don't know, just ask Stark? He can always tell us coordinates."

By the way, the Avengers card can convey a simple message...Although it was originally agreed to meet on Earth, it seems that Alex is not at all worried about Stark.Dr. Pym said, "So... Captain, if we get the coordinates, can you take us there?"

"..." My mission is to join the Earth Defense Formation, but if things do not agree to this condition now, the Midsummer Night will not only bring no benefits to the Earth Defense Formation, it may save the Covenant a lot of trouble .Captain Lorenzo weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Anyway, he has been abandoned by the headquarters now, and he can just blame the damned viruses of the rebels, "Okay. If you can save the rest of me You can send my ship anywhere as long as the crew is cleared of the virus!"

"It would have been better to say no earlier." Alex seemed satisfied with the answer he heard, "Doctor, I will leave the coordinates to you."

"Well... But Alex, you have to be careful." Although Alex is full of confidence, Dr. Pim still believes that he is not invincible, and it will be bad if there is any accident, "You Is it okay to be alone?"

"Of course. I can't let Bucky and Natasha go on an adventure with me, can I? Bea will annoy me if she finds out." Alex turned around and was about to leave the area, "Don't worry, I I am very irritable now, and I just need to vent. And before, I have always acted alone."

"I'll go with you." The Master Chief stopped Alex in time, "This is also my responsibility."

"...I don't need human help." Alex looked back at the Master Chief with a headache, "I have no time to save you."

"I don't need that." The Master Chief is not without confidence. Zombies are nothing. He has seen many truly terrifying things. Not only are those things as disgusting and irrational as zombies, but they also use guns and weapons very good.He picked up his gun and said, "Also, I'm no ordinary human being."

This guy... Alex stared at the Master Chief for a while.In the past few days on the ship, he heard some crew members around him talk about the Master Chief, and what he said was more fear and bewilderment than admiration and gratitude.The crew thought he was a monster, a monster-like trump card, a grim death in the eyes of the enemy.Just like yourself.

"So, you promise that no matter what you see, you won't be surprised?" Alex raised his eyebrows slightly, and he said, "Nothing?"

The Master Chief tilted his head slightly, and he said as he walked towards Alex: "Don't worry, I've seen more bizarre events than you can imagine."
