Chapter 338 Save Victor von Doom!
After the tense atmosphere between the two sides eased a lot.
The pigtailed woman named Zora and Kane led Rorschach and the others.
Rorschach used hand gestures to alert everyone while driving his power armor to follow.
Not long after, the group finally arrived at the rebel stronghold after climbing over a small hill again.
It is called a stronghold, but in fact it is just a series of caves dug in a sheltered location under the hill, which are large enough to accommodate a family.
Then they built a wooden fence made of trees around the outside of the cave.
The return of Zora and Kane attracted the attention of some lookouts.
When they saw the black metal giant following the two people.
An extremely shrill warning whistle rang out above the pale sky.
Immediately afterwards, middle-aged and elderly people with tattered clothes and pale faces due to lack of nutrition ran out of the cave one after another.
There were only three or four hundred of them, armed with outdated guns.
But even when facing power armor that is far beyond common sense.
Without hesitation, they aimed the broken weapons in their hands at the tall figures of Rorschach and others.
However, before Rorschach could say anything.
Zora, who was holding Kane's hand, immediately ordered everyone to put away their guns.
After the other party briefly introduced the identities of Rorschach and others as friendly forces, the expressionless middle-aged and elderly people gradually returned to the depths of the cave.
Ten minutes later, they were inside a cave belonging to Zora.
Rorschach slowly took off his metal helmet and stared at Zora, who was sitting opposite the burning fire and coaxing Kane to sleep, and was silent for a moment.
Only after he was sure that Kane was completely asleep did he ask in a puzzled tone:
"Are you the leader of the resistance army today? Are those middle-aged and elderly people the resistance army of Latveria?"
"How have you been able to resist for so many years? According to the intelligence information on the Internet, haven't you already occupied most of the agricultural areas in the country and are planning to launch an attack on the capital city? Why doesn't the reality match the propaganda on the Internet?"
"Yes, a month and a half ago, our team had a bright future. But now, I can tell you clearly that the resistance army no longer has any capital that is worthy of coveting by outsiders like you."
Zora, who was gently stroking Kane's hair, seemed to have a sneer on her face.
She stared into Luo Xia's inhuman blue wolf eyes and said in a low voice:
"A small operation to seize supplies and cut off the enemy's supply route accidentally turned into a fatal betrayal."
"For some reason, several high-ranking members of the resistance army who had fought with us up to this point suddenly chose to betray our leader Victor to the Harlin family."
"Victor's capture not only caused the loss of nearly half of the resistance's combat effectiveness, but also the agricultural areas that had been controlled were quickly recaptured by the Harlin family, who implemented stricter guards. We retreated hastily and soon ran out of ammunition and food."
"In order to rescue leader Victor, almost all of the young fighters in the resistance army who were already few in number died in the battle!"
"The repeated failure of rescue operations in a short period of time has left the entire resistance army with only the old bones who would rather starve to death than return to the rule of the Harlin family."
"So, whether you are a good person or a bad person, it doesn't matter."
"Because no matter where you come from, no matter what you want to do, you are still late."
At this moment, listening to the slightly desperate words of Zora, the temporary leader of the resistance.
"I see... It seems that the reality is quite different from what I guessed before."
Rorschach narrowed his eyes subconsciously and suddenly muttered:
"But do you think we are too late? Why do I feel like we are just getting started?"
"Zora, really? Tell me the truth, are you still willing to fight for Latveria, for your homeland?"
Rorschach's words were not finished.
Zora took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that kept surging up. He said without hesitation:
"If it weren't for saving Victor, the spiritual leader of the resistance army, if it weren't for that tiny hope, we would have chosen to die with the Harlin family's army long ago!"
"Instead of curling up in a cave like an animal and struggling to survive like now!"
Rorschach, whose face was flickering in the flames, suddenly placed his palm on the metal helmet beside him.
His eyes slowly passed over the flickering fire.
Staring at Zora with her eyes wide open, he said softly,
"Very good."
"What if I say I can help you rescue the leader of the resistance? Of course, that's based on the assumption that he's still alive."
At this moment, his eyes changed several times.
Finally, as if she had made a decision, Zora's expression gradually became solemn.
She asked Rorschach solemnly across the fire:
"So, what price will Latveria have to pay?"
"Loyalty! Loyalty to me personally! Loyalty to humanity itself! It's that simple!"
Rorschach slowly activated the power armor and stood up.
He stepped over the burning fire and looked down at Zora below and said.
At this moment, Zora, with a determined look in her eyes, gently put down Kane who had fallen into a deep sleep.
She, with her pigtails, slowly got up from the ground.
Without hesitation, he extended a rough-fingered hand towards Rorschach.
"Although I don't believe your conditions are really that simple, we have nothing to fear as we only have one life!"
After Rorschach's metal palm clenched with the other party's palm.
Rorschach, who vaguely remembered something, suddenly asked Zora in front of him:
"What is the full name of your resistance leader?"
"Victor von Doom!"
-
Valkyrie quickly took off from ten kilometers away.
Iron Man David will drive a transport plane to the Gemini Island base and bring back enough food and other supplies.
After the two parties reached initial trust and agreement.
These remaining rebels, who were only old, weak, sick and disabled, temporarily became Rorschach's men.
At this moment, Rorschach's eyes were fixed on Craig, who began to use the Panacea capsules to treat some of the sick and injured.
And Zora, who was standing nearby and responsible for maintaining order in the team.
He uttered a few fleeting whispers:
"I was just saying that Latveria sounds familiar... Why didn't I remember before that it's the hometown of Doctor Doom?"
"But is Doom, who has not yet become the complete Doctor Doom, so weak? Or has my existence changed something?"
"If Doctor Doom exists, then his nemesis, Mr. Fantastic Reed, and the Fantastic Four do exist, but they are not well-known yet?"
Rorschach, with his eyes slightly narrowed, suddenly took a deep breath.
The whole person seemed to be in a state of deep thought.
"If I hadn't mastered the technology related to space travel yet, and didn't even have a complete spacecraft, I would really want to get away from my native Earth..."
"But since I can't leave, why not speed up the Astartes surgery? This time the simulation should be strengthened, right?"
"I hope the Emperor can bless everything to go smoothly..."
Thank you for your support!
The Marvel plot has been long enough for now, it's time to write a simulation.
