Chapter 124 Soldier Boy
In the morning, Levi was petting his dog in the Water Building.
The dog that Ashley bought for him had already opened its eyes, and was growing very healthily under the protection of sufficient food and the power of Holy Light.
It is less than 20 days old and already weighs nearly 15 kilograms.
This is far beyond the normal growth rate of a Rottweiler, and it cannot even be explained by aristocratic bloodline. It can simply be called a genetic mutation.
This made Levi more confident in it. Maybe it could really survive Compound No. 5.
And although it is still relatively small, its loyalty has begun to show, and Levi is constantly amplifying the many positive emotions in its heart to prepare for the future confrontation with Venom.
Venom itself is not good or evil, but it is strongly influenced by its previous host.
Levi felt that the best situation would be to wait for Spider-Man to get the Venom, let him bear and neutralize the original evil of the Venom first, and then give it to his dog.
After playing with the dog for a while, Levi received a call from the butcher as expected.
"Soldier Boy suffers from PTSD. Last night, when he killed the Crimson Countess, he also killed a dozen theme park employees."
"Even this morning, he randomly killed five passers-by who absolutely did not deserve to die."
"And every time he releases that energy chest cannon, he suffers from a brief amnesia. I'm afraid he could completely lose control at any time."
The butcher was a little worried. To some extent, the soldier boy was quite powerful. I just didn't know how big a surprise he could give the soldier boy later.
"I see. Looks like after we deal with Homelander, we'll need to take care of Soldier Boy as well."
"How much of your temporary compound No. 5 is left?"
"There's another bottle."
"That's enough. As long as today's operation goes smoothly, you won't need to use it again in the future."
"Also, I have some good news for you. I found some evidence that the original transoceanic flight 37 was damaged and eventually crashed because of the thermal vision of the motherland."
"I have some witnesses. If we cooperate, Homelander will not only die, but also be ruined!"
Although with the help of Yali, there is a high chance that Levi can defeat his fellow countrymen with his own strength, but what he pursues is not just victory.
He wanted to escape unhurt, or even capture the other party!
In this way, the two meat shields, Soldier Boy and Medicine Butcher, will be of great use.
After a slight pause, Levi continued: "And don't worry about Beijia. I will let the locomotive protect her secretly."
Well, he actually said this to lie to the butcher. The locomotive hasn't been dispatched yet.
Levi wants to wait until Homelander and Soldier Boy start fighting before letting the locomotive kidnap Becca.
Otherwise, even if the locomotive has a very good relationship with him now, it is basically unlikely that he will take the risk of offending his motherland. Levi does not like to test people's hearts because that thing cannot stand the test at all.
After listening to what Levi said in one breath, the butcher, who was originally somewhat hesitant, made up his mind in an instant.
"Okay, I'll act according to the plan. Soldier Boy has recovered his equipment. Next he's going to Vermont to kill the TNT twins. I'll deliberately expose the clues to Walter!"
Everything is for Beijia. He is willing to endure a little longer. The deaths of those passers-by will be worth it!
After hanging up the phone, Levi assigned tasks to Yali and Wolverine respectively. He would do his best today and make sure not to give Homelander and Soldier Boy any chance to escape.
Then there was the lamplighter, who he needed to help keep an eye on the storm front.
Although Stormfront has not officially joined The Seven yet, he was exposed as a Nazi and has been keeping a very low profile recently.
The two of them had a three-day affair that day, but Stormfront had once had some ambiguity with Homelander, and Levi didn't want her to become an unexpected factor.
Finally, there are Kate and Psychic Storm. Homelander cannot be confirmed for the time being, but when the soldier boy betrayed him in the blood debt, he clearly showed resistance to psychic abilities.
If they defeat it later, it will obviously be impossible for Levi to control it successfully with his own ability, and he needs to make certain preparations in advance.
However, in order to avoid accidents, Levi did not let them go to Vermont, but instead asked them to wait in a safe house in advance.
Not long after, after arriving at the hall reserved for the Seven, Levi found that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing.
Homelander was holding a tracking chip, his face full of disbelief and sadness.
Deep Sea and Starlight were a little afraid to speak, but Maeve had a strange expression on her face.
Now seeing her countryman in this state, she wanted to laugh heartily.
But not only could she not do that, but she had to try her best to keep her heartbeat and breathing normal, because now was not the time to truly celebrate!
After looking around, Levi deliberately asked curiously, "Why didn't Xuanse come? He is usually the most active."
Homelander gritted his teeth: "He deserted the battlefield. The super villain yesterday was Soldier Boy. Black betrayed me!"
"Ah? How could that be? Isn't he dead?"
Levi dared to guarantee that he used all his acting skills at this time, and even deliberately sped up his heartbeat to ensure that his fellow countrymen believed that he was really surprised.
Homelander opened his mouth and said, "I don't know for now, but the only thing that is certain is that he is seeking revenge on his former teammates."
"He killed Countess Crimson last night, and Black is also on the list."
Xuan Se's escape was not only a betrayal, but also made him feel humiliated and angry.
Was he really inferior to the soldier boy in Xuan Se's eyes? Was he afraid of the soldier boy but not himself?
At this moment, Ashley suddenly rushed in hurriedly, and before Homelander could scold her, she started shouting loudly.
"Homelander, we found Soldier Boy's trail in Vermont. His target must be the TNT Twins!"
Homelander was immediately energized: "Great, let's go kill the soldier boy and put an end to this trouble once and for all!"
Upon hearing this, Levi and Maeve immediately understood that although Homelander seemed confident on the surface, he was actually not completely sure.
Otherwise, why would he call on others? He could have done it himself!
Despite this, they still responded.
But after a quick glance, Homelander still didn't take everyone with him: "Angel, Maeve, you follow me. Deepsea, Starlight, you continue to patrol New York to prevent the enemy from having other accomplices."
Xingguang, who was originally very excited, suddenly looked frustrated. Even if her motherland said it more tactfully, she was not stupid. How could she not hear that her motherland disliked her?
Shenhai agreed happily, not feeling any surprise. Excluding those pre-arranged scripts, the real missions in the past were basically led by Homelander and Maeve, with the locomotive and black assisting.
He, the Invisible Man and the Lamplighter are just errand boys. Their motherland doesn't need them to do anything. It's enough for them to flatter them afterwards.
But this was actually what Levi wanted most. Otherwise, if Xingguang went with him and a fight really broke out, he might need to divert his attention to take care of her.
The plan was set, and the three of them set off immediately, and Homelander habitually extended his hand to Maeve.
Maeve can't fly, so he has been the one who took her with him on many missions in the past.
And thanks to Maeve's super strong physique, she will not be injured by flying at high speed.
Even though she hated it to death in her heart, Maeve smiled and walked over.
Due to the angle, only Levi and Xingguang noticed that one of her hands behind her back had already been clenched into a fist.
The force was so great that the blood vessels and veins on her entire forearm became tense.
Levi could naturally fully understand it, but Xingguang was stunned. She vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong!
But no matter what she thought, the three of them had already taken off.
Levi burst out with holy light and flames. As his strength continued to increase, his flying speed also increased a lot.
Even without using the capabilities of the Storm Front, it can still reach a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than an ordinary helicopter.
Of course, there is still a clear gap between us and our countrymen who can fly supersonic speeds at will, and we cannot compare with the fifth-generation fighter jets that can easily reach Mach 2 or 3.
But his greatest advantage is that with the system in his hands, his growth has almost no limit, and the speed of improvement is extraordinary!
Vermont is adjacent to New York State, so Levi and others are not too far from their destination. It didn't take long for them to reach their destination.
Just as the Homelander was about to say a few words and issue a pre-war mobilization, there was a loud bang and a beam of light suddenly rose from the ground. It lasted for less than three seconds and then disappeared.
Needless to say, everyone knows that the TNT twins are definitely dead.
Because this beam of light is very similar to the beam of light that appeared in the center of Manhattan and before the death of Countess Crimson, except for slight differences in width and length.
The Homelander couldn't help cursing: "Fuck!"
He didn't feel sorry for the death of the TNT twins, it's just that he had made a big promise at the Water Building before, and now the soldier boy's behavior was simply a slap in the face with a shoe!
The distance of several miles passed in a flash, and when the three people landed safely, two men happened to walk out from the ruins.
The man in a windbreaker and with an untidy beard on the east side is the butcher.
The one on the west side, wearing a full uniform and holding a large metal shield, is the soldier boy mentioned in the intelligence.
I have to say, his appearance is quite good.
But what Levi coveted more was his superpowers.
CODE NAME: Soldier Boy
Type: Power
Special ability 1: Soldier Boy's energy radiation, centered around himself, continuously radiating energy outwards.
It has a special effect on beings who gain superpowers by injecting Compound No. 5, which can weaken their various abilities.
The closer the contact distance and the longer the contact time, the greater the weakening. If the strength is insufficient, it may not be possible to close freely.
Full replication is possible, with an estimated 5 minutes of continuous exposure required.
Special Ability 2: Radiation Immunity, immune to all energy radiation below 20 sieverts, and immune to self-radiation, can be fully replicated, and is expected to require continuous contact for 1 minute.
Special Ability 3: Radiant Energy Cannon. After charging for a certain period of time, it can fire an energy cannon through the chest, causing massive explosion damage.
During the charging period, the effect of energy radiation will continue to increase. If the target is a being who obtains superpowers by injecting Compound No. 5, the special components in his blood can be neutralized, causing him to permanently lose his superpowers.
The stronger the enemy, the longer it takes to charge.
The opponent can regain superpowers by injecting Compound No. 5 again. It can be completely copied. It is expected to require continuous contact for minutes and must already have the energy radiation of Soldier Boy.
Special Ability 4: Super Strength, affected by emotions, can exert up to 150-450 tons of force, can be fully replicated, and is expected to require continuous contact for 2 minutes.
Special Ability 5: Master Shield, fully replicable, expected to require 2 seconds of continuous contact.
Among them, the radiation energy cannon seems the most frightening, but in fact the conditions for its use are very harsh.
As far as Levi knows, in the original plot, the soldier boy accumulated energy for nearly 20 seconds in order to kill Homelander, but he still failed to release it successfully, and Homelander took the opportunity to escape.
Moreover, it targets superheroes carrying Compound No. 5. If it is placed in other worlds, without that additional effect, its deterrent power will inevitably be greatly reduced.
No matter how unhappy they felt before, when they actually saw them, the Chinese people still acted confident.
He walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back, a proud smile on his face: "William Butcher, and the soldier boy."
"Of course, I know that this is all related to me, but William, we agreed to fight to the death. Asking for foreign aid is cheating."
It would have been better if the Homelander didn't say anything. As soon as the butcher mentioned this matter, he felt so angry that his teeth itched. The last time he was caught by the Homelander, he was able to escape with his life thanks to Becca's plea!
But before he could say anything, Homelander had already knocked him down with a hot gaze: "The agreement is canceled!"
He then turned to the soldier boy and said, "You know, I actually idolized you growing up. You were the only one who was almost as strong as me."
The soldier boy didn't buy it. "Dude, do you think you look strong? You're wearing a cape. You're just a cheap knockoff."
In his original era, only women would wear such flashy cloaks.
Moreover, the butcher told him a lot of stories about the other party yesterday. How could Walter want such a person to replace him?
He wanted to tell everyone that they were all wrong!
The soldier boy's undisguised contempt immediately angered the Homelander, and he couldn't help but roar: "No, I'm the upgraded version, I want to tell everyone that I'm stronger than you!"
