Chapter 314: Hope for Compound 5
There were not many people in the bar, except for the bartender who was dozing off at the bar.
"Hey man, get us a whisky."
Green Arrow knocked on the bar.
The bartender was an unshaven middle-aged man.
Blonde hair, tattoos, and long, narrow eyes, he looks like a gangster.
"Ice Coke, or orange soda."
Raven made its demands.
"Little girl, you think this is a bar in the city where you can hang out, except for whiskey and brandy, there is nothing else."
The bar urn said to the raven angrily.
"OK, then let me have a glass of water."
Raven likes neither whisky nor brandy, so he chooses a glass of plain water.
Eric sat in the bar with Green Arrow and Raven, waiting quietly for the leader of the sanctuary that Green Arrow said to come to the door.
From morning to evening, no one came to the door.
"Maybe something happened."
Eric guessed.
Squeak, before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
A decadent man walked in, with a trench coat, cigarettes, and blurred eyes.
He walked into the bar, looked around, and soon found Eric and his party sitting here.
"Green Arrow?"
Walking in front of a few people, he asked Green Arrow tentatively.
"Yes, who are you?"
A smoke ring came out of his mouth, his chapped lips cracked open, and he squeezed out a smile, "I am the person in charge of the Newcastle Refuge, you can call me Nelson."
Said and sat next to Green Arrow, "Brother, it really feels good to see you. I heard that you died in Utah, and I thought you really couldn't come."
"So... something brought?"
After the greeting, he asked Green Arrow if he had brought anything.
Eric on the other side felt that this guy was inexplicably familiar. With the windbreaker, cigarettes, and this cynical expression, why did he look more and more like a person?
"Why are you the only one here at the Newcastle Refuge?"
Arrow asked Nelson that he didn't immediately choose to believe the guy in front of him.
"The people in the shelter are dealing with some guys who rushed up from the ground. It took some time for them, so I came early. You must know that the whole world is a place full of danger, and no one dares to go out casually."
He seemed very addicted to cigarettes, and as soon as he finished smoking one, he took out another from his crumpled pocket.
"Your deal with us still counts. You join the sanctuary and become a member of our rebel army. I believe that the thing you brought will definitely help us to expand our power."
After striking a match and lighting a cigarette, he coughed and assured Arrow.
"Forehead......"
The raven didn't understand, what exactly was the deal the two negotiated.
"Well, can I ask, what's your deal? If it's a secret, then... even if I talk too much."
The raven couldn't help but ask the two of them.
"No, that's not a secret. I wanted to tell you, but I never had the chance."
Green Arrow put the box that he had been holding on the table, and fiddled with the lock on the box for a while.
"click" sound!
The lock snapped open.
"This is?"
Eric looked at the contents of the box with a look of shock.
The blue and slightly greenish color potion bottle is very similar to his own No. 5 compound.
The raven simply counted, and there were about a hundred bottles of medicine in it, neatly placed in a special packaging bag.
"One hundred copies of God's genetic medicine can give ordinary humans superpowers. After the warriors in the sanctuary have assembled these things, they have sufficient capital to fight against Omega."
Green Arrow became very emotional, "As long as they get the potion, they are willing to fight Omega with me, and I can join them."
Eric looked at the upgraded version of these No. 5 compounds in front of him, and his heart was turbulent.
It is these things that allow ordinary people to acquire superpowers, and then become a mob, pouring into the halls of the Justice League and slaughtering the entire Justice League.
The disorderly control of power eventually became the culprit in destroying the dam.
If it wasn't for bringing Compound No. 5 to this world by himself, I'm afraid there would not be so many twists and turns.
As he sighed, Nelson took the box, "Thank you very much for your profound righteousness, Green Arrow. The entire resistance army on the West Coast will remember your contribution. What we lack is this."
The old smoker Nelson shook the ash, "The current superheroes are dead and scattered. With this, the revival of the new superhero team is just around the corner."
"The Newcastle Refuge will definitely have a great deal with your participation. Come on, join me to meet those warriors who have long admired you."
Nelson stood up, shook hands with Arrow, and prepared to leave.
Despite his doubts about Nelson's identity, out of trust in Green Arrow, Eric followed him to the sanctuary.
"Are you Batman?"
Nelson asked Eric.
"Yeah, it's like a fake replacement."
"Haha, although I heard that Batman is dead, I believe that it has always been a rumor. God bless me, let me meet the real Batman. How about you, would you like to join our sanctuary and fight against Omega together?"
He seemed very interested to invite Eric.
"Unfortunately, I have other work to do. It's enough for you to have these compound potions and Green Arrow alone."
"That sounds very good, we do have an extra person in charge."
Nelson took a hard puff of cigarette, expressing his approval of Eric's words.
Walking through a deserted city street, a few people came to an alley.
"Wait a moment!"
Nelson suddenly stopped a few people.
"What's wrong?"
Green Arrow was a little puzzled.
"I need to go to the toilet. The wine I had just now may be a little stale. You know those **** bartenders always like to make whiskey in paint barrels. These guys are always so shameless."
As he spoke, he walked to a place where the toilet was written.
It seems that he wants to release the things in his upset stomach just dragged the box and ran for two steps, and was caught by Eric.
Nelson looked at Eric's serious face, and his heart skipped a beat.
Eric suddenly smiled, "I also want to go to the toilet, let's go together!"
"OK."
The two then entered the bathroom together.
This is a toilet built after the city was destroyed.
Although there is an automatic flushing system, it is not a star and a half compared to those luxurious toilets in the city.
Fortunately, it's not summer, and the smell of the toilet is barely acceptable.
Eric entered and Nelson entered the toilet in tandem.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Eric didn't mean to let go, and blocked Nelson as soon as he entered the toilet.
