The Death Knell

The cemetery in winter looks snow-white, and the boundary between the white cross or the tombstone and the ground is not obvious. Only some vacant tombs are waiting for the owner to move in. One by one, the black holes are like deep wells that have fallen in and cannot get out. .

The snow squeezed and creaked, and occasionally some dead branches would be crushed on the frozen ground. Several people slowly approached the car parked on the side of the road.

However, at this moment, Su Ming suddenly felt a killing intent.

"Stay down!"

He knocked down Howard, who was still babbling, and a bullet just flew past Howard's position. Without hesitation, Su Ming dragged him directly behind a tombstone. This angle was temporarily safe.

Howard's beard was covered with snow and his lips were rotten, but he was calm.

"Is it for me?"

"Yes, if I read it right, the shot just now was meant to blow your heart." Su Ming hid behind another tombstone.

"Have you brought a gun?" Howard touched himself and pulled out a small mirror.

The gun must have been brought with him. Su Ming still carried enough munitions to start a local war, but unfortunately, he couldn't take it out. The identity cannot be revealed, and he is now a businessman without the power to bind a chicken, innocent, without any force at all.

From the point of view of firepower density, there is only one sniper, only aiming at the heart instead of the head, indicating that the opponent has a military and police background and is not a real master.

For snipers who are particularly confident, they usually like to start their heads because they are more deadly. If it is a professional assassin like a death shooter, he can put a bullet in the target's left ear and out of the right ear.

Snipers with military and police backgrounds do not act alone, they usually bring observers. This is their style of acting, especially in this era just after World War II, because they are restricted by gun technology and require a lot of calculations. Observing hands is necessary.

"I have a cigar cutter, is it useful?"

Howard poked the small mirror out of the tombstone and rotated it left and right to find the enemy's location. There was no cover around the cemetery. If the gunman was not far away, he would definitely be able to see it.

But cigar cutter? Howard cast a grieving look at Su Ming: "The gunman is at least three hundred meters away from us, and he is hidden. I can't see him."

Su Ming glanced at the mother and son Sharon on the other side. They were also hiding behind a tombstone. The owner of the cemetery seemed to have some money at home, and there was a huge angel sculpture on the tombstone.

"We figured out a way to escape. My car is bulletproof. Its armor is the same material as the iron wall tank, but it is thinner."

"The gunman may be changing positions. We don't have much safety time, so let's do it." Howard put away the mirror and pursed his lips: "I'm here to attract firepower. Go and drive."

After speaking, he began to undress and took off his coat and hat.

The coat is made of woolen cloth. Even if it is taken off, it still has some hardness. He buttoned the hat on the collar of the coat and lifted the coat carefully like a surfboard.

Then his hat flew out, and a round bullet hole pierced it back and forth, and the location of the hole was slightly blackened by the heat.

Howard took a breath, it was terrible, the reaction speed was too fast.

However, there is something faster than the opponent shooting. When Howard attracted attention, Su Ming began to run. With a block of tombstones as a cover, he ran to his car smoothly and even lowered his own. speed.

The door opened and the fire broke out. The car knocked down a piece of tombstone and rushed directly into the cemetery. Su Ming was telling the truth about the car. This was a wheeled tank.

Along with the roar of the engine and the splashing mud, the snow on the ground was lifted high and fell again. The black car made a bend, and a drift lay across the side where everyone was attacked.

"boarding!"

Under the cover of the car, Howard bent over to grab Sharon and Charles, and they all squeezed into the back seat.

The bullets landed on the car one by one, and clusters of sparks bloomed almost continuously. The facts verified Su Ming's conjecture that the opponent had an observer, and the automatic rifle also fired at the same time.

However, their position was also exposed. On the bell tower of the church in the distance, Howard's judgment was correct, about 300 meters.

This is why Su Ming directly said that he did not bring a gun, because even if he took out a pistol, it would be too shocking to hit a target 300 meters away. This is not something luck can explain.

"Get down, the glass is not bulletproof." Su Ming quickly turned the steering wheel, the tires and the ground made a violent rubbing sound, and the car quickly turned around to leave.

Howard pressed Sharon and Charles under the back seat, and squatted on the back seat himself: "Damn it, this time I'm going to study bulletproof glass that can block anti-tank guns."

Su Ming slammed on the accelerator, and the distance between the sniper and the sniper was quickly widened. The opponent did not try to hit the tires, but as a bulletproof vehicle, Su Ming's car tires are solid tires.

This type of tire is generally used on cash transport vehicles or construction vehicles, such as bulldozers or forklifts, which have a higher load capacity and are safer.

"Don't say such things in the future, we don't listen less on the battlefield."

As the car twisted forward, several people were safe. It was almost impossible to be hit by a rifle 800 meters away in this era. He immediately began to complain about Howard.

"Are you saying that the soldiers told others to go home for Christmas, and then die on the battlefield immediately?" Howard was also relieved, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Well, there are many similar things, such as a person secretly looking at a picture of a beautiful woman; a nurse who goes to a battlefield hospital; suddenly wants to go to the toilet in a trench. These are all ominous signs."

Su Ming cited a few examples.

It's like at least one of the men and women who roll the sheets in a horror movie has to die.

Howard shook his head. He didn't agree with this view: "I have all the things you said, and I'm still alive and well."

"That's because you were not a soldier before, and now we are on the battlefield."

"Damn it, who is it?" Howard didn't struggle with the previous problem anymore, but began to ponder over possible enemies.

Sharon was comforting her son in shock, but Charles seemed more calm than her, and in turn was comforting her.

Su Ming glanced in the rearview mirror. There was no chase, only Charles' bald head was still reflecting.

The hair of Professor X has always been a mystery. In the movie version, Charles had black and beautiful hair when he was young, and it was still a natural curl. In the comics, many worlds also have hair. Baldness is a later thing.

There is a saying that is affected by his ability, his mental ability is too powerful, it is the ability to make him lose his lower limb mobility and hair.

There is also a theory that Magneto caused his paraplegia, and his hair fell off due to drugs.

The little Charles in front of me looks like a comic version, but...without hair, is this caused by the change of the world line?

Just because the New York flood did not happen, but a fire broke out. The Xaviers did not study the toxic sea water, but participated in the research of the atomic bomb, so the radiation had an impact on Charles?

Last time I saw the old Charles, he didn't show much ability, but it seemed easy for him to shield the consciousness of other people. That is to say, the strength of this Charles will only be stronger than the 616 universe?

After thinking a little bit, Su Ming quickly let go of this problem, as long as he observes closely in the future, this is not the first task now.

He responded to Howard’s words, and the playboy’s hands have been shaking now because of the adrenaline effect.

"It's not Hydra. Although I don't want to admit it, the marksmanship of Agent Hydra should be much better than this."

"I almost died. For me, their marksmanship was good enough." Howard forced a smile.

Su Ming took out the cigarette case and threw it to him to calm him down. Nicotine is very helpful: "Why are they killing you? Howard, what have you done recently?"

"Me? I recently slept with a few actresses, bought a few buildings, went to learn to cook, and went to sea, but I don't know who this will offend."

Howard took out the cigarette and lit it, looking at the luxurious interior of the car, lost in memory. Could it be that some women hate him because of love, and love him so much that they want to kill him?

Su Ming rolled his eyes: "Who asked you about this? I was asking what is your research project in ssr?"

"Oh, ah, I was studying launch vehicles with Dr. Zola recently. Those in the military want to install nuclear bombs on the rocket. Next time, if a moustache pops up again, we can blow Berlin with the push of a button. Ping, Zola has a lot of knowledge about v2 missiles, so the two geniuses have made great progress recently."

"Howard?" Sharon widened her eyes and shook her head at Howard, her face stretched out.

ssr's scientific research projects are strictly confidential, and as a result this guy said it carelessly!

Howard appeared incomprehensible, and soon turned into helplessness. He waved at her. There was nothing to keep secret.

Sharon still doesn't know what kind of power capital has in this country. As long as Slade wants to inquire about something, this kind of project can't help him at all.

"Dr. Brian Xavier was with you before he was alive?" Su Ming asked again ~www.ltnovel.com~No, his project is independent, I don't know. "Howard shook his head and said he didn't know. He is a physicist. Although he is a genius, Brian is a generalist. He has made achievements in physics, chemistry, and biology: "Sharon, do you know?" Did he go home and talk to you? "

"Non-disclosure agreement, Howard, he didn't mention a word." Sharon put his hands on his forehead, bent down and started crying again: "I hope he can be less obedient sometimes."

"So what about you? Little Charles, what did you see?" Even if you didn't say it, it doesn't mean that everyone is ignorant. Now that Charles is still unable to control his own ability, some intelligence must have penetrated into his mind. .

Little Charles looked at his mother. Sharon was looking at him worriedly. The ability to read other people's thoughts was terrible. Once they let others know, they will definitely be silenced.

However, Charles still gave the answer. He wanted to know why his father died: "I don't know much. My parents rarely go home, but I know the name of his project, called ‘Black Womb’ ()."

"Is that right? Slade took us to Camp Caspian, I'll ask someone to ask." Howard immediately took note.

Camp Caspian was the place where Captain America was trained. After the war, the underground there was converted into the ssr headquarters. Now they are using it as a base point to expand their influence on a global scale.

Sharon opened her mouth, closed it again, and touched Charles' head intently. Howard exposed the location of the headquarters to others again, so tired.

Su Ming shook his head and lit a cigarette himself: "No, I know the Black Womb Project. I have to say that Dr. Xavier's death is worthless."

Howard spread his hands to Sharon and made an innocent look: "Look, I said he has a lot of energy."
