Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 283 A World Without Hope (5,000 words)

Seeing Emma's slightly older appearance, Kevin was silent for a moment.

After a while he asked:

"May I ask how old you are this year?"

"How old? Maybe thirty-four, maybe thirty-five. Since the world has become like this, who will remember his age."

Emma said casually, sat down on the shabby sofa in the room, and then asked Kevin:

"You don't mind if I get smaller, do you?"

"…random."

With Kevin's consent, Emma's body began to shrink rapidly in front of Kevin's eyes, and the clothes she was wearing fell off her body as she shrunk.

Not long after, Emma's body crawled out of the pile of clothes.

But she wasn't naked, she was wearing a simple dress that looked like it was made of a handkerchief.

Kevin was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

Emma Meyer, one of the important characters in "Generation V", has the ability to shrink and grow in size.

It's just that in the play, Emma needs to vomit when she becomes smaller, so she will be in pain every time she becomes smaller.

On the contrary, if Emma eats more, she will become huge.

Before Kevin's abilities had not evolved much, he once met a young man in the woods whose physical fitness far exceeded that of most superhumans. His name was Sam, Luke's younger brother.

His physical fitness is very strong, and Kevin judges that he may be stronger than Storm.

But this was Sam, who was slapped to the ground by the enlarged Emma.

Although there is also a reason why Sam does not want to hurt Emma. After all, they are a couple in the show, but this is enough to prove Emma's potential.

However, due to the flaws in her abilities, Emma usually does not become larger or smaller.

Who can bear to vomit every time I use my abilities...

But that was the Emma in the show. The Emma here didn't vomit and just used her abilities.

Have her abilities evolved?

Or has she found a way to control her abilities?

Kevin remembered that in the last episode of "Generation V", Emma did not vomit, and her body shrank to shorter than a chair, and he had a rough guess in his mind.

Kevin recalled the plot of "Generation V". After shrinking, Emma took out a mini cigarette case from nowhere, took out a cigarette that was a little bigger than her current arm and put it in her mouth. .

Then Emma skillfully turned on the electric cigarette lighter, lit the cigarette, and started smoking happily:

"Oh... after becoming smaller, the cigarette is more powerful. In this world, I am the only one who can enjoy the delicious taste of cigarettes now."

Emma sighed while puffing away the clouds.

Kevin remembered what Emma had said before about 'saving resources' and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"Is this how you usually save resources?"

"Of course." Emma puffed out smoke, "After I shrink, one biscuit will be enough for me to eat for a day. As long as I preserve the food carefully, the harvest in one day will be enough for me to not go out to find food for half a year."

She paused again when she said this, and then said:

"Oh, the only thing I'm worried about is that this state is very dangerous. If I'm not careful, ants and cockroaches can kill me... But it doesn't matter. I have a safe house in this state. Do you see the iron box over there?"

Emma pointed to the iron box on the table not far away. Kevin leaned in front of the iron box and looked at it. From the opening on the iron box, Kevin could see that there were beds and cabinets inside.

Emma continued:

"I usually sleep there, and from that angle, I can just see the surveillance."

Opposite the iron box is a fairly intact display screen.

There were several different images on the screen, one of which was facing where Kevin had just been.

This is probably why Emma discovered Kevin.

She was keeping an eye on the outside.

"This ability of yours is really convenient in the apocalypse."

Seeing that Emma had arranged everything, Kevin couldn't help but sigh.

Emma grinned and said:

"Yeah, that's why I've been able to live until now... like a fucking bug, alive until now."

"At least you're alive."

Kevin said something not very comforting.

"..."

Emma was silent, took a long puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled it, before saying to Kevin:

"By the way, don't you want to know what's going on in this world? Just ask. I will answer whatever I can. But you also have to answer my questions. Is it fair to exchange questions for questions?"

"Fair enough, then you ask me first?"

"You come first, you are a guest."

Emma, ​​who looked like a villain, pulled a simple recliner from the table and lay down on it in a decent manner, speaking in a long voice.

Kevin was not polite either. He pulled over a chair, sat astride it and faced Emma, ​​and asked:

"So first of all, tell me why the world is like this?"

"Of course it's because of the damn Walter Group. They are a bunch of lunatics. They actually inject compound No. 5 into animals, but they don't know that this thing has a stronger effect on animals than humans."

"Why are they doing this?"

"Who knows what the people of the motherland think? Well, you probably don't know. At that time, the person in charge of Walter was a person from the motherland. Together with a female madman, he released Compound No. 5 all over the world, and then... the war began. ”

"...Madwoman? Storm?"

"That Nazi bitch? It's not her. She died a long time ago. It's a superhuman called... [Firecracker], and she's Homelander's new mistress."

Emma told the story of what happened in this world.

The development of this world is generally similar to the plot of the third season after Kevin's cognition.

At the end of the third season, after the protagonists fought a big battle with Homelander, Soldier Boy was taken away by the Vought Group, Maeve was blinded in one eye by Homelander, and because of Soldier Boy's ability, she lost her superpowers and became an ordinary person, and lived in seclusion with her girlfriend.

Starlight completely withdrew from the Seven and joined the Black Robe Team.

Homelander took his son away and completely controlled the Vought Group.

Then came the story of the V Generation. Emma and the others learned the truth about Godokin University. Kate and Sam let the superhumans imprisoned in the woods go, and those superhumans killed ordinary people everywhere in Godokin University.

The heroine of the spin-off Mary and her friends prevented this tragedy from happening.

Then Homelander came to the door and asked Mary why she killed her compatriots, so she arrested her and others and put the blame on them.

Kate and Sam, who caused the chaos at Godokin University, became heroes instead.

The plot up to this point is basically the same as Kevin's cognition, and it is the most original plot without his participation.

The key is what happened after that.

The fight between the Black Robe Team and the Vought Group intensified, and Homelander became more and more dissatisfied with only controlling the Vought Group and tried to start participating in politics.

In order to gain support, he began to spread Compound No. 5 throughout the world, making even animals become "super animals".

In order to deal with Homelander, the Black Robe Team got a virus against superhumans from the woods.

That virus is highly contagious and can be spread through air and droplets.

After being released by the Black Robe Team, it didn't take long for a group of superpowers to be infected.

Then...

The world began to completely get out of control.

Because of the existence of super animals, the Vought Group relaxed the control of Compound No. 5, causing more people to have to choose to become superhumans, because only in this way can they have the power to protect themselves.

They can become superhumans, but they will be infected with viruses targeting superhumans. From then on, the war between humans and superhumans has become a war of attrition.

Either they remain human and are killed by superhumans or superanimals, or they become superhumans and are infected with the virus and die.

In this situation where they will die no matter what, the world is gradually coming to an end.

Many of Emma's friends died in this doomsday crisis, including her former boyfriend Sam.

However, I heard that the heroine Mary is still alive. According to Emma, ​​it seems that it is because her ability is related to blood, which can isolate the spread of the virus to the greatest extent.

"In other words, the Vought Group still exists now?"

After listening to Emma's story, Kevin raised his eyebrows and asked.

Emma finished a cigarette, threw it on the metal floor, and lay on a simple recliner, saying slowly:

"Maybe, maybe not, but it's not here anyway, probably on a small island."

"The leader of the Water Group is still the Homelander... and that... that firecracker?"

"They... hehe."

When Emma said this, she laughed twice sarcastically for some reason. She didn't answer Kevin's question, but pointed to the simple bookshelf in the corner of the wall and said:

"Go there and look for it. You should still find newspapers before civilization collapsed."

After Emma said this, Kevin probably guessed what was going on.

He walked to the bookshelf and found a newspaper from 2026, which seemed to be the last newspaper collected by Emma.

Kevin didn't need to read anything else, just read the front page news of the newspaper, and he could understand the ending of the last Homelander in the world.

The front page news of the newspaper mentioned that the Homelander and the mysterious man were infected with the virus after the battle and finally died.

And the mysterious man, judging from the blurred photos, should be Butcher.

But the reason why it should be said is that there are large patches of disgusting rotten chickenpox on Butcher's face.

Butcher... he is also infected with the virus.

Did Butcher in this world perish with his countrymen...

Kevin was flipping through the newspaper, and Emma lit another cigarette and asked Kevin:

"You have finished asking questions, so it's my turn to ask next?"

"Of course, we agreed just now."

"Well, first of all, the first question is, what year is your... your world?"

"2021."

Kevin replied lightly.

Hearing this year, Emma's eyes were filled with nostalgia.

"21 years, at this time, I should still be working hard to enter Godolgin University... It's great that your world can still be saved."

At this age, Emma is very mature and smart.

She understands that Kevin, a visitor from a parallel world, will definitely stop all this from happening when he returns to their world again after seeing what happened in this world.

Their world is destined not to become as desperate as Emma's, which is what Emma envied.

"If you don't mind, I can actually take you to live in my world."

Kevin said to Emma in silence.

By taking the Flash Barry to the black robe world, Kevin has determined that if the characters leave the original world and go to Kevin's world, they will not continue to consume skill points.

In other words, the impact of taking the characters away from the original world is enough to make up for the cost of one skill point per day.

So if Emma is willing, Kevin can take her there.

Anyway, this world seems to be completely hopeless.

But who knows that Emma shook her head:

"No need... After all, I don't know whether I carry the virus or not. What if I have been infected for a long time, but I have no symptoms because of a certain immunity, then your world..."

Emma stopped talking here.

There is a kind of infected person called 'asymptomatic infected person', which means that they already carry the virus, but they do not have the relevant symptoms after being infected by the virus.

The existence of this kind of infected person is actually more dangerous, because they themselves will become a mobile source of infection.

It's okay for Emma to walk around in this world. After all, the air in this world is probably full of viruses targeting superhumans.

But if Kevin dares to take her to a pure land that has never been infected by the virus...

Emma cannot guarantee what that world will become.

The words paused here, Emma was silent for a while, and then asked:

"What is your purpose in coming to this world?"

"I just ran to the wrong world."

"Is that so... Then if you can go back, go back quickly, this world doesn't have what you need."

Emma flicked off the ash and said softly.

Kevin also nodded.

Indeed, this world is already the future of the plot world for who knows how many years. The characters in the plot died or disappeared. Being able to meet Emma here is because Emma's ability is very suitable for survival.

At least in the end of the world with a lack of food and water, it is very suitable for survival.

Kevin is not sure if he can meet other plot characters after leaving here.

If he can't see other plot characters, Kevin can't get skill points from them. Maybe going to the sea to play a routine of flooding the world can allow him to get skill points.

But this world has become like this, Kevin doesn't need to add fuel to the fire.

And that would be too much trouble, and the skill points gained might not be many, so it's not worth it.

Unless...

Kevin looked at the scene around him, felt it a little, and suddenly asked:

"There is no one in this city anymore?"

"Well, probably, except for the super beasts that sometimes come here to forage, no one will come, so I ran away when I saw you, after all, I haven't seen anyone for a long time."

"Then why do you still stay here?"

"..."

Kevin's question stumped Emma.

Seeing that Emma didn't answer, Kevin looked around again and added:

"It's still in the underground experimental base of the Water Group."

"..."

Emma and Kevin looked at each other, and the two looked at each other in silence.

Finally, Emma reluctantly extinguished the half-smoked cigarette butt in her hand, carefully saved the rest, and then sighed:

"...Okay, there's nothing to hide. Going down from here, there are some experimental equipment that Water didn't take away at the beginning. I think... I want to see if I can develop a vaccine against the virus."

Sure enough.

Kevin was not surprised to hear Emma's answer.

He felt strange when he came here. With Emma's ability, she could stay anywhere as long as she wanted to find a place to stay. There was no need to choose the underground base of the Water Group.

If it was because of the disinfection equipment outside, Kevin didn't think it was because of it.

The disinfection equipment looked like Emma had assembled it independently. If so, Emma could also assemble a set of disinfection equipment in other places.

But Emma still chose to stay here.

And although Emma didn't show Kevin, it seemed that there was only one hut here, but Kevin's perception was very strong. With a little active perception, he could know that there was another world behind this hut.

The hut was just the outer layer, and there was a larger space inside.

What the larger space was used for could be understood with a little guess.

This was also what Kevin said just now, 'unless'.

If he could help Emma complete the vaccine against the virus, then he might really get a lot of skill points.

But Kevin was still a little curious:

"You are the only one? How can you develop a vaccine to solve the virus?"

"With the research data that Mary left for me...she brought out from the woods, and the original virus sample...I think I should be able to do it, or...I am the only one who can do this research now."

Emma laughed at herself.

The Water Group had long been hiding somewhere, and the Black Robe Team that had always been against the Water Group was nowhere to be found.

Now Emma can only rely on herself.

"Maybe I can help you."

Kevin said with a smile.

Emma looked at him instantly, stared at him for a long time, and then shook her head and said:

"Forget it, you should go back to your world...Don't talk first, listen to me, I know your world is still normal, and there may be a possibility of developing a vaccine, but this world is already..."

Ga-ga-ga-

Emma hadn't finished her words when suddenly, bursts of sharp crow calls came from the surveillance camera.

Kevin and Emma looked at the surveillance camera at the same time, and saw one of them facing the distant screen, and a huge black wave flew in the distant sky.

From the video screen, Kevin saw that the black wave was crows.

A group of crows with red eyes, like zombies.

"They are..."

"It's a wave of crows... They should be attracted by the blood of wild dogs."

Emma explained calmly, as if she was no longer surprised by all this.

Then she said to Kevin:

"Look, even if there is no virus in this world, there are still these monsters with super powers, so I said that this world is hopeless... This is impossible!"

Emma just said this, and suddenly stood up from her seat, staring at the surveillance camera, as if she saw something incredible.

And seeing Emma's reaction, Kevin understood what happened without her explaining too much.

Because in Kevin's perception, although some of the crows landed on the wild dog's corpse and feasted on it, more crows flew towards the secret base where Emma was!

They...

found Emma!
