Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 790 47. Opportunity

Russia, Western Lia region, Merlin is walking on a large square.

While admiring the vast snowy landscape on the endless plain in the distance, he looked at the tall and boldly dressed Maomei girls around him from time to time.

They are very professional, even in this place where the temperature is extremely low, they are also wearing very slim professional attire...

Well, these are concierge ladies.

"Did you say they are not cold?"

Merlin, who was wearing a windbreaker, looked at the row of long legs exposed to the cold wind, he couldn't help pushing his glasses, he said:

"Or people in this place are not afraid of the cold by nature."

"Do you think everyone is like you, Merlin."

Miss Icarus complained mercilessly:

"They are at work and have to earn money to support their families. So please, when admiring the long legs, please respect the profession of those girls, okay?"

"Oh, then they are much happier than me."

Merlin looked back at the Volskaya Industrial Zone, which was built on the vast expanse of Siberia, and was about to open. He said:

"I came here to blow the cold wind all morning, but no one paid me a dime."

"It's your choice."

Icarus snorted:

"The omnipotent machinery was initiated by you, but then again, now that the third large-scale intelligent industrial zone has finally been established, I think you should also breathe a sigh of relief, right?"

"Yes, I was relieved."

Merlin moved his body, and he looked at a series of cars driving into the square in the distance, and the reporters who were commotioning like beasts smelling meat.

他 说:

"East Africa, Europe, Asia, including the soon-to-be-completed Lijiang Tower, and the industrial zone on the Brazilian plain, the main part of the omnic plan is over."

"Next, we only need to build some small industrial areas like Latvinia as a follow-up supplement, and then wait until the final fifth fire source impact is over..."

"This job is finally seeing the hope of ending."

"You should smile, Merlin, the Russian Defense Minister is walking towards you, and he seems to be ready to shake your hand."

Icarus reminded, Merlin adjusted the expression on his face, and when he turned around, he was already smiling.

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the senior official behind him, and the two communicated in fluent Russian.

"When did you learn Russian?"

Icarus asked curiously:

"I have already prepared the translation program, but I didn't expect it to be useless."

"I'm also improving, Icarus, don't underestimate me."

Merlin used an alienated but gentle smile to deal with the endless stream of people around him, and replied:

"Let Jesse and 76 do a good job of external security. I don't want this opening ceremony to encounter any special circumstances."

"Ah."

Icarus responded and checked the security system around the square in front of the Volskaya Industrial Zone again.

When the Russian-style music sounded, Merlin quietly hid in the crowd, and handed over the work of communicating with this group of high-ranking officials to the accompanying Hill and Sharon.

Like the previous two opening ceremonies, he had to confirm in advance that the smart center of the Volskaya Industrial Zone was functioning normally.

Ten minutes later, when Merlin returned to the square again, the opening ceremony of the Smart Industrial Park was coming to an end, and representatives of the Aonica Group were already preparing to hold a press conference on the square.

In fact, it is a ceremony.

The opening of the smart industrial park for the first two times can still attract people's attention, but when anything happens for the third time, the heat will drop too much.

According to the statistics of the security network engineer of S.H.I.E.L.D., the number of netizens around the world paying attention to the opening ceremony is even less than 40% of the previous two times.

This has fully demonstrated that people are no longer curious about the Smart Machinery Industrial Park.

It also shows that the concept of omnic has begun to be accepted by most, it has completed the stage of exposure, and has begun to integrate into society.

The effect of the advancement of the omnic plan can be clearly seen from this point, which also shows that Merlin's work over the years has been fruitful.

"Mr. Merlin, this is our best army soldier! She is also one of the commanders who will be stationed in the Volskaya Industrial Zone in the future. Her name is Alexandra Zaryanova."

The Minister of Defense, whom he had met before, appeared in front of Merlin with a sharp-looking army major. The major was wearing a military uniform and a military cap, but it could be seen from his figure that this was a female soldier.

But the exaggerated muscle outline on her arm is no weaker than that of a man, just standing there with strides, like a wall.

Merlin has almost never seen such a strong woman, and Miss Icarus also let out an exclamation, as if applauding this strong major who is also a woman.

"Major Alexandra will serve as a trainee. In the recent standard Omnic Security World Response Training conducted by S.H.I.E.L.D., I believe she can become an excellent commander. Of course, this also needs your help."

"Of course, that's part of the agreement between the parties."

Merlin nodded seriously, and he said to the minister:

"You can rest assured that we will take our responsibilities seriously."

The minister nodded, he turned around and explained a few words to the major, then turned and left.

Merlin looked at the strong woman in front of him. He took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to the major standing in front of him. He said:

"The World Security Council will start the training course tomorrow, and multinational military commanders will receive formal Omnic security response training at training bases in Vienna and North America."

"Major Alexandra, here is your pass and equipment extraction code, you must keep it safe."

"In addition, I will also serve as your instructor during the training camp period, so today is our first meeting. I hope we can cooperate happily."

He stretched out his hand towards the strong major in front of him.

The strong Russian female soldier glanced at the thin Merlin, and there was a trace of soldier's eagerness in her eyes.

She stretched out a hand with a tactical glove and held it with Merlin's slender and thin hand.

next moment...

The two hit it off almost at the same time.

"click"

There was a crisp sound from the bones of the hand, and the corners of Major Alexandra's mouth twitched immediately.

"It hurts, right?"

Merlin said in a gentle yet warning voice:

"This is a reminder, Major, don't underestimate me. Go and rest. We will leave here on a plane in 30 minutes."

"Okay, instructor. Also, you can call me Zarya!"

After being taught a little lesson by Merlin, Major Zarya put her hands behind her back, and she gave a military salute to Merlin.

Then he walked away quickly, clutching his hands.

"She's no ordinary person, Merlin."

Icarus projected Zarya's back in front of Merlin's eyes, and she analyzed several data indicators, she said:

"She is likely to be one of the experimental subjects of the Russian military's bioaugmentation project."

"No, she's not."

Merlin looked down at his fingers, and said:

"Normal women don't have such strong instant explosive power. Her bones should have been strengthened. The parchment told me that the Russians once obtained part of the 'infinity formula'. This Major Zarya may be one of the products of that formula. one..."

"It's normal. After the Eichenwald incident, I don't think governments will put ordinary soldiers in smart industrial parks."

Merlin was talking, and he took out his pocket watch to check the time.

Then he walked quickly to an unobtrusive corner, and under the shining light of the Displacement Curse, Merlin appeared on the other side of Siberia, in a certain city on the easternmost side of Russia.

Someone is waiting for him here.

Merlin's destination was a safe house of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the moment he appeared in the house, a sharp arrow hit the back of his head.

A special force flows on the arrow.

As long as the bow user loosens his fingers a little, Merlin will be shaped into a stone statue within a second.

"Hi, Clint."

Merlin raised his arms, and he said to the people behind him:

"long time no see."

"How dare you say it!"

Behind him, Hawkeye agent Clint Barton put away the petrified bow in his hand with a look of displeasure, and inserted the arrow back into the quiver on his back.

This agent is now dressed like a mafia, wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, looking imposing.

He looked at Merlin who turned his head, and he complained:

"If it wasn't for your order, how could I have left everything behind and ran to this ghostly place, staying for more than a month, as if the world had evaporated."

"That's not an order, Clint."

Merlin reached out and patted his old friend on the shoulder, and he said softly:

"That's a request."

"Okay, request, in short, I have completed your request."

Hawkeye shrugged, and he shouted into the safe house in Russian.

After a while, a bald boy who wrapped himself tightly came out of the back room with a fearful expression on his face.

He looked at Merlin, eyes full of confusion and fear.

"This is..."

Merlin looked at the child. He looked at Barton beside him. The latter nodded and said in a low voice:

"It's this kid, a group of Japanese gangsters are hunting him down."

"His parents died in the scuffle, and he himself was kidnapped. I searched for him for more than half a month, from South America to Japan, and from Japan to the Far East."

"Can you confirm?"

Merlin asked again.

"can!"

Patton replied:

"I saw with my own eyes that when a mutant gang member from Japan who was able to become invisible rushed to him, his ability was eliminated, and then I seized the opportunity to shoot him in the head..."

"This child is the one you are looking for, Merlin, the natural nemesis of all mutants."

"Nemesis? No!"

Merlin shook his head, he squatted down, with a smile on his face, he waved to the thin child in front of him, and said softly:

"He's not a nemesis, he's just a child, Barton. I don't want him to do something dangerous for me...I just need his ability, that's all."

"Also, Clint, what is the background of the Japanese gangsters who hunted down this kid?"

"It's an organization called The Hand."

Hawkeye stood beside Merlin, and he said:

"A force with an ancient tradition in Japan, they have merged with a group of mutants of unknown origin in recent years."

"A year ago, they assassinated the young master of the Shimada family, the largest underworld family in Japan, who had just succeeded to the throne, and completely collapsed the Shimada family's gang empire."

"Then the hand will take advantage of the gap and inherit most of the power of the Shimada family."

Barton folded his arms and said:

"But when we rescued the child this time, someone helped us. It was a very strange person."

"That guy is also good at using a bow, and he can use the energy of some ghosts and ghosts. He seems to have a grudge against those gangsters and has been hunting them down."

"A bunch of mutants hanging out with the gang."

Merlin rubbed his chin, he said:

"They also want to capture a special mutant that can suppress mutant abilities... So, what are they going to do?"

"You can't ask me that, Merlin."

Agent Patton said:

"I'm only responsible for saving people and handing this child over to you. I don't care about other things."

"Well, thank you, Clint."

Merlin stood up and said to Agent Patton:

"Go back and rest, there should be nothing serious recently."

"hope so."

Agent Button stuffed the petrified bow in his magic pocket, waved goodbye to the little boy standing in the middle of the house, opened the door and walked out.

Only Merlin and this special mutant child were left in the room. The child kept staring at Merlin. He seemed to be much more mature than his peers, probably because of many reasons he had experienced.

"My name is Merlin..."

Merlin stared at the child, he didn't speak, but his voice sounded in the child's head, startling the child.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. In fact, I entrusted that uncle just now to find you."

On Icarus' lens, the little boy's information was quickly extracted, and Merlin looked at the information, and he said:

"Your...your name is Jimmy, right?"

"Ah."

The little boy nodded.He stared at Merlin, as if to confirm whether the big brother wearing glasses was malicious. After a while, the little guy clenched his fist and said to Merlin:

"Where are you taking me?"

"I will take you to a safe place, you don't need to be afraid anymore."

Merlin held out his hand to the boy, and he said:

"Has anyone ever told you that you are God's gift to the world, Jimmy?"

"Ah."

The little boy looked at Merlin's hand and said:

"My mom used to say that, but mom has..."

"Your mother was right, son."

Merlin took a step forward, put his hand on the little boy's head and rubbed it, and said with a smile:

"You are indeed a little angel, you brought me what I need most..."

"I'll make a feast out of it and give it to a 'friend' to taste, of course, to help him."

"Come on, Jimmy."

Merlin took the little boy by the hand, and he said:

"We go home."
