The Death Knell

"Mom? Am I dead? Will I reunite with you in hell?"

When Joseph saw the death knell, his first reaction after waking up was that he was going to hell.

"No, Joe, you're alive."

Mary hugged him, touched his head lovingly, and then slapped him away with her backhand! Joseph spun in the air like a top, then fell back onto the bed:

"Does it hurt? Just live if it hurts."

Mary took him back into her arms. Joseph's eyes were filled with stars, and his head was shaking uncontrollably. This scene looked so warm in the sunlight, and even the particles suspended in the light seemed to become lighter, like Afraid of disturbing the mother and son.

Carol, who was about to talk to her brother, swallowed her words back. She knew that this was the Kree's way of proving that another warrior was still alive.

She was beaten like this by her Kerry teammates, and she was beaten like this by her teammates, and everyone was still alive.

At this time, Su Ming explained in time: "The Super Soldier Serum has strengthened Joseph's physical fitness, making him stronger, more masculine, more handsome, and more durable... From now on, Mary, you will You can also love him with your own hands."

Mary's eyes lit up, while Carol's face darkened.

There is nothing going on at home now, so I'd better leave as soon as possible and let Xiao Qiao stay with her mother at home. At worst, I can buy him a new game console when I get my salary next time.

"Xiao Qiao, I..."

However, just when Carol was about to say something to Joseph, something suddenly broke the bedroom window, and a green shadow struck towards the three people hugging each other.

The thing left a small round hole in the glass and seemed to be heading straight for Mary.

It was a long gun, the same color as the Kree military uniform, and judging from the color of the gun tip, it might have been quenched with poison.

Mary held her son and daughter in her arms and seemed to not notice the sneak attack even as her heart was rising.

Just when the tip of the gun was about to hit her back, a big hand suddenly grabbed the handle of the gun, and the lightning-fast blow stopped immediately.

The black and yellow mask spread to Deathstroke's face again, and the red one-eye suddenly lit up. He slowly took back the spear in his hand, held it in front of him and looked at it. After letting Strangler smell it, he inserted the gun into the gun next to him. In the floor.

"You want to kill someone in front of me? You are very brave..."

He didn't talk to the family, but just broke through the window glass and flew out. He wanted to see which fool was coming.

Melinda's reaction was also very quick. She immediately ran downstairs, planning to notify Nick Fury.

But when she arrived in the living room on the first floor, her eyes became horrified because she saw Fury holding the orange cat and playing with it with a smile on his face.

"Haha, why are you so cute? Oh!! So cute, so cute, tweet, tweet, tweet."

While talking to himself and making all kinds of funny cat sounds, Fury kept rubbing the cat's head with his black hands, looking very happy.

Melinda had never seen Fury like this, and for a moment she felt that the end of the world was coming.

"So, the medicine that revived Xiao Qiao was actually the same one used to make Captain America?"

Carol pulled her mother and brother and stood in front of the broken window, watching the suspended death knell outside and confronting the visitors. The mother and daughter were whispering.

"I don't know, but when your brother woke up, it might be the effect of the special electric shock on his brain." Mary patted her daughter on the shoulder: "People think that the Cree people have all kinds of superpowers, but in fact they are just our superior ability to deal with combat and the external environment. adapt."

"That is to say...Qiao originally had super powers?"

Carol tilted her head. She felt as if she had been deceived by Deathstroke. Wasn't the injection he just injected into his brother glucose or saline?

"You are my children, so you naturally have superpowers. It's just that when I was in Hala, the Kree people usually awakened their superpowers in childhood, because at that time we had to face endless battles. The enemy is beyond your imagination, if you don’t wake up, you will die.”

Mary nodded, then shook her head:

"But that's all in the past. After the Supreme Intelligence was built, it preferred that everything be carried out according to its control. This kind of superpower was regarded by it as unstable, so the young Kree people almost never returned. Work hard to hone yourself, but rely on the so-called technology of supreme wisdom. The two of you have lived on the earth since childhood, and naturally you have no chance to awaken your superpowers in a safe environment."

Mary was a little regretful. Originally, with only a little bit of genetic modification to activate the latent genetic factors, the warrior would have a high chance of awakening his superpowers.

But today's young people rely more on external objects rather than decades of daily fighting. They only need to reach a certain age and then go to the military headquarters to get a Kree uniform. The new uniform will give them various superpowers.

For example, activities in outer space, the use of cosmic energy, etc. These things that could originally be controlled by oneself were cracked by the supreme intelligence and integrated into the uniform.

After all, from the perspective of supreme wisdom, this helps to mass-produce qualified troops, which is convenient and fast. There is a war with the Skrulls here. How can we have time to wait for more than ten years for people to awaken to themselves?

But from the perspective of warriors, although the New Cree people also keep talking about glory and country, they are really not qualified warriors, at least not in Mary's opinion.

Carol pointed to her nose: "Then my ability is not due to the explosion of the thought tube, or Marvel..."

"No, you activated something that originally belonged to you. When facing extreme danger, the ancient Kree defense mechanism in your body was activated. It is not borrowed, not a legacy, or an accident. It belongs to you from the beginning to the end. Yours, your own ability.”

Mary touched her daughter's face and said with certainty, because her daughter's abilities are basically carved out of the same mold as hers, maybe a little stronger. Things are definitely not what Carol thought before. It was an accident because of the secret weapon of the Kree Empire. Activate super powers or something.

Carol looked down at her hands, watching the cosmic energy gathering in them, and Mary raised her hands, doing the same thing.

"Oh, Mom, I can't believe it..."

"Don't believe it, feel it intuitively, the light, the speed, the power, the energy, because that's you, that's us, the Daughter of Hala and the Starlight... No, that's a little wrong, now it's the Daughter of the Earth .”

Perhaps revealing her identity for the first time in a long time, Mary habitually said the title Daughter of Hala because it was an honor for the Imperial Guard.

But she quickly comes to her senses and realizes that she is no longer a Kree, but a Kree deserter, and now the thing sent to hunt her is right outside the window.

"When everyone else is gone, I think I have a lot of things to ask you."

Carol raised her head, with a smile on her face. Knowing that this was her ability, she looked away from many things.

Joseph, who had just woken up, watched his mother and sister make balls of light together. He rubbed his face and said, "I also want to ask a lot of things, Mom. Right now, let's start with whether we are considered human beings on Earth." ..."

....................................

"Mary Earl! Come out and face me! You dishonorable deserter!"

Floating in front of Su Ming at this time was a woman with blue skin.

She has red hair that is different from most Kree people, and her body is as strong as a beast. She is naked, but has no gender details except that she has female curves. She is an artificial weapon, a product of genetic technology from the time of the Queen of the Kree Empire.

This kind of thing is called 'Kree Scavenger'. They are biochemical soldiers born in the laboratory, cultured in test tubes and nutrient solution, and completely genetically modified.

After they are pinched out of their human form, memories will be implanted in their brains, which are the combat experience and tactical and strategic capabilities of all the elite Kree warriors. Then they will be placed in a special dormant cabin and launched into the unmanned space in the universe. In the corner, floating aimlessly like space junk.

And once something happens to the queen and they are activated passively or actively, they will wake up from hibernation, automatically connect to the Hala network, read secret information, and then start to clean up all the traitors.

It was clear that Mary was one of the traitors, and so was the Supreme Intelligence.

But compared to the supreme intelligence defended by millions of troops, the defense on the earth's side seems to be nothing, so the purifier chose to kill Mary first.

Unfortunately, her sudden and powerful attack was unexpectedly blocked by earth creatures.

The blow that was enough to penetrate the interstellar battleship was caught from the air by the human's bare hands.

This made her a little unsure about the level of fighting ability of the people on earth, so when she saw the people on earth coming out to fight with her, she changed her tactics and wanted to stimulate the honor psychology of the Cree people to get Mary to come out and fight with her.

However, Mary now only recognizes dollars, not honors.

Her daughter is back, her son has woken up, and she has received one million. She is about to live a good life, so she doesn't want to fight with the purgers.

These biological weapons are one of the Queen's trump cards, specially designed to deal with Kree super soldiers. They are faster, stronger, more adaptable to the environment, and also possess anti-Kree toxins.

Even a scratch from one of her weapons or claws would be a serious injury to a Kree and could lead to very severe sepsis.

Even when Mary was young, she could only fight against these ghosts, let alone now that she hadn't fought with anyone for decades.

"Mary Earl! I know you're hiding there!"

"You have the guts to be a deserter! Don't you have the guts to fight?!"

"Come out! Come out like a real warrior!"

The Purge circles the house in the sky, and what about that floating human in armor? He quietly stood in front of her with his arms folded.

Several times she tried to break through but was blocked, so she could only continue to use her psychological tactics to the extreme.

The modified biological weapon had a vocal organ with built-in amplification effect. She shouted very loudly. Fortunately, Mary's house was surrounded by woods and there were no other homes, otherwise the scene would have been even more chaotic.

Deathstroke made a gesture of picking his ears through his helmet and scoffed.

This Kree scavenger has nothing but a loud voice. Her words lack emotion and have no soul at all. She has not grasped the essence of Aunt Xue's acting skills...

Then she is a waste, and waste does not need to exist.
