Chapter 188 Sentinel Robot!
Canadian border.
There was heavy snowfall, and everything was covered with a layer of white. The ice crystals on the trees reflected beautiful fluorescence in the sunlight, adding a bit of magnificence to the scenery here.
Above this snowfield, all you can see is desolation and desolation. There seems to be no trace of human activity here. The only thing there is is the endless mountains and rivers shrouded in white snow.
Stretching along the two footprints, in this vast white world, two figures are moving slowly.
"Seriously, Melissa, you don't actually have to follow me. This is my mission, not yours." Old Barton moved forward step by step on crutches.
At his current age, traveling long distances is no longer an easy task, not to mention that he is still climbing a snow-capped mountain on foot. This extreme weather environment has greatly affected the physical strength of Hawkeye and Songbird. Big consumption.
"No, this is also my choice. I will not remain silent any longer. I am not worthy of saying the words 'avenge my teammates'. What I have to do now is just to atone for what I did before. If I die unfortunately , that’s what I deserve.”
Melissa's tone was very calm, as if she was not talking about herself. She seemed to have seen through life and death a long time ago. It could even be said that she would rather die on the road accompanying Hawkeye than survive in the world.
This result makes her look more like a 'real' hero.
Perhaps this is the abnormal mentality of these extraordinary people in this world. Most villains hope that they will die in the battle with the heroes, while those heroes hope that they will die in the old battle.
Whether it's the Punisher, Twilight Wolf, or the other surviving heroes, they have been 'crippled' long ago, and they can never regain their hopeful and persevering hearts.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Hawkeye wants to embark on this road.
Hawkeye has had enough of these years of inaction. When he embarks on the road of revenge and puts himself in the eyes of all villains, he has already put his own life and death out of the matter. For him, perhaps death is the only option. It's a better place to stay.
At least this move can ignite the passion of some people in the wasteland world.
After pondering for a moment, Barton didn't know how to evaluate Melissa. He could only continue to look down at the map silently.
In fact, Old Barton was very entangled and tormented in his heart about Melissa. On the one hand, although Songbird did not attack the heroes back then, she was indeed labeled as a 'traitor'.
She was one of Barton's revenge targets, but on the other hand, Barton really couldn't do anything to her. At the same time, Barton was also very pleased that the songbird would choose to follow him on this trip, which at least meant that she had no Abandon the hero's heart.
Unlike some old wolf who is determined not to step out of his fence house.
However, he was relieved to see that deep down in his heart, Old Barton was still very prejudiced against Melissa. He wanted to relive the old days of fighting side by side with Melissa, but he also didn't want to get too close to her.
It was these two contradictory thoughts and feelings that made Barton not know how to deal with the communication between himself and Melissa.
Melissa herself understands this. She does not expect Barton to forgive her, because she herself will not forgive herself. She wants to help Barton get revenge, just because she has been waiting for this day for a long time.
The two of them had different ideas and hardly communicated much along the way, and the atmosphere remained very strange.
until--
"Something seems wrong."
Melissa stopped, put her hands to her ears, and turned on her superpower to sense the small sounds around her.
".What's wrong? What did you feel?"
Old Barton stopped when he heard the words. He heard nothing, but this did not mean that he did not trust Melissa's judgment. As an old teammate and the former captain of the Thunder Agents, Eagle Eye immediately took out He took out his own weapons and stood ready.
"There's something approaching" Melissa replied with her eyes squeezed shut.
"direction?"
Barton asked calmly.
The white snowfield made his vision deteriorate even more. He frowned slightly and became wary in his heart. After all, it was his first time here and he didn't know what he would encounter.
"At four o'clock, the sound sounds like a mechanical product. Is it familiar? We have dealt with it before." Melissa gave her own judgment, but she did not relax, but became more vigilant.
The same was true for Eagle Eye. He sharply drew his bow and aimed at the position given by Melissa.
"In today's world, the things we deal with are obviously not friendly people."
"Yes, after all, when did the Thunder Agents ever encounter trouble that was easy to deal with?" Melissa wanted to smile, but she hadn't smiled for a long time, and her facial muscles were very stiff.
Just after the two were ready to fight, it didn't take long before the sound of a machine running came from the distance, and judging from the huge sound, the thing was obviously huge.
"Coming over." Melissa reminded.
Barton's hand holding the bow and arrow couldn't help but tighten. Although he hadn't seen the other party's true identity yet, judging from the huge movement, the other party was obviously not something easy to deal with.
The next moment, a huge robot parted the pine trees and emerged from the woods.
It was a robot with blue and purple as the main colors. However, the thing was covered in scars, one eye was broken, and some circuit boards on the body were also exposed. It was hard to imagine what the thing was dealing with before. Things fight.
"What a joke."
Old Barton opened his mouth wide. Although he had glaucoma and his vision was not very clear, he could still tell the identity of the thing from the opponent's huge body.
"Crying Bird, you didn't tell me when you came here that there are sentry robots here that hunt mutants!"
"I don't know how to be careful!"
Just when Songbird wanted to say something, the sentry robot on the opposite side launched a direct attack.
Old Barton flew to avoid the big hand of the sentry robot, and before he could turn around and fight back, the sentry's only eyeball shot out a red laser.
"Oh my God! Why does this guy keep chasing me? I've had a physical examination before. I'm not a mutant!"
Hawkeye ducked sideways to avoid the laser again, cursing continuously from his mouth.
In his current state, it is obviously impossible to single out a sentry robot. Even if the sentry robot is covered with wounds, Barton is only a mortal after all.
But just then, the songbird took action.
