[Zhongyingmei] Who is my father?

Hearing Zora's malicious voice, Joyce's face was blank after shock for a moment.

"Accelerator?" He was silent for a while, his eyes were obviously dazed because he was out of focus, but he still accurately aimed at the direction from which the voice came from: "You are already idle like this, do you want to engage in such evil things?"

With this time, wouldn't it be good to improve the stabilizer?At least don't treat your number [-] as a disposable item, just throw it away after use.

"This is an accessory of the 'Z Project', and it is not so difficult to manufacture." Zola seemed to be able to see what Joyce was thinking. An exasperated tone: "Moreover, we have also developed other utilities specifically for you."

"...What's the effect?" The right hand digging on the ground almost crushed the whole floor, Joyce clenched his teeth, but still couldn't stop a trace of bright red from the corner of his mouth.

"You'll find out right away."

Accompanied by Zola's contemptuous sneer, No. 5, who was forced to retreat by Joyce, had already slowed down, casually pulled a bandage and tied it on the broken arm, and then swung the knife again. This kind of desperate spirit is not too much Fits the profile of a Hydra killer.[-] minutes ago, Joyce might have praised this tenacity, but now, when he is almost killed by that tube or some accelerator, such tenacity is very tempting to curse up.

Gee.

Instinctively aware of the approaching danger, but the body could no longer keep up with his reaction speed.Reluctantly moving himself away from No. [-]'s blade, Joyce almost fell to the ground, only to avoid his fate of being cut in two.

"Do you think this will kill me?"

The rapid loss of sanity and the engulfing pain made Joyce crumbling, but after all, it was only a genetic collapse induced by medicine, not as fast as the onset after he tossed Zero out and overused.And such a little time is enough for him.

He clenched the small knife in his hand, and without hesitation he slashed heavily at the flesh and blood of his left arm.While the blood was gushing out, the pain also slightly took away the blurred vision in front of him, allowing him to refocus on dealing with Number Eight who was basically going crazy.And when the opponent was already missing an arm and his strength was greatly reduced, although Joyce himself was not optimistic, he definitely had the upper hand, and soon pushed No. [-] to the point where he could barely parry.

"If you want my life, one person may not be enough."

Dodged the sharp blade stabbed by No. [-], and kicked the opponent into the wall with one kick.Joyce looked at him coldly without getting up after struggling for a long time, and it was hard to hold back the arrogant irony in his tone:

"Or, you have fallen to this place now, and you can't even raise a decent killer?"

"You can only be proud for a while now." It seemed that Zola sighed lightly, and there was even a smile in Zola's voice, as if looking at her disobedient child: "You haven't found out yet, your Has anything really changed in the body?"

……what?

He froze for a moment, not understanding what the other party was referring to.Joyce frowned, and was about to speak, but he suddenly suffocated, the familiar burning sensation in his chest spread along the boiling blood, like the uneasy beating of another soul, even if he didn't call him, he was still struggling wake up.

At the same time, Joyce also found that his senses began to blur.Just like when he and Zero switched personalities and fell asleep in the depths of their shared consciousness, completely surrendering control of the body.

"You can force Zero to wake up?!"

It was difficult to hide the shock on his face, Joyce's eyes showed a bit of seriousness for the first time.

He started calling out to Zero, but for some reason it went nowhere.

"Controlling Zero is not difficult, but how difficult it is to control you who carries his emotions, I used to be very troubled by this."

Only taking the other party's shock as a compliment to himself, Zola raised his voice, and his tone was full of joy:

"But later, I realized. It's actually very easy to reclaim Zero. Since we can't tame it together, as long as you disappear and let him return to his previous state, it will be fine."

That carefully cultivated masterpiece, the sharpest killing machine.That is the weapon that Hydra needs, not a killer with human nature, simply defiled his most perfect work.

Under the induction of the accelerator, the gene collapse is just a means to stimulate the self-protection mechanism of the main personality.When Zero is awake, it is absolutely impossible for Joyce to disappear and use this method to save his life.However, as the original ruler of this body, his instinct will completely exclude Joyce for him, so as to stop the damage caused by the genetic collapse.

He wants Zero to kill Joyce with his own hands, and kill the feelings he was born with.And what is left behind must be the most suitable tool for Hydra.

This is really too sinister intentions.

"...you madman."

It is one thing to choose to disappear in order to save Zero, but it is another thing to be forced to disappear.The green marks in the corners of Joyce's eyes that belong to Zero appear and disappear from time to time, indicating that he is struggling to suppress the awakening of his main personality.However, because this body originally belonged to Zero, he is just a secondary personality. Although Zero has never been defensive against him, it is not easy for Joyce to resist this kind of collapse from the inside out.

So, his time is running out.

but--

"Don't worry, I will never let this happen."

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.Joyce's eyes flickered a little red, inevitably stained with a trace of cruelty and madness belonging to Zero.

"Ding--"

Raising the mechanical arm violently, blocked the last blow of No. [-]'s crossbow.Joyce didn't even look at the other party, he just turned his wrist and grabbed his neck.Immediately, there was a muffled sound of the neck bone being snapped vigorously in the palm of his hand.

Normally, this was a method of killing that Joyce would never use, but now, he couldn't care less.

Throwing the killer's body at his feet, he staggered towards the screen, pulled out the keyboard, and began trying to compete with Zola for control of the entire base.

"Do you think you can beat me?"

Sneering at his behavior, Zola said contemptuously: "Don't forget that you once lost to me."

He was referring to the fact that in the mutant prison, Joyce tried to crack Hydra's information, but the other party turned to control the prison's intelligent system.The processing speeds of the human brain and AI are not comparable. As long as Zola is still a pile of data, it is impossible for Joyce to use his own technology to crack the opponent's firewall before the gene completely collapses.

Of course he is very clear about this.

"But, did I say that I was going to compete with you?"

Looking into a megaphone is like looking at a mentally handicapped person.Joyce's complexion was rapidly turning pale, but he didn't show any weakness. He took out the USB flash drive that Iron Man kindly provided him from his pocket, and inserted it into the host without hesitation.

"Go and compare who's smarter with Tony Stark."

He said so mockingly.And at the moment when the USB flash drive was just connected, countless codes began to scroll on the screen, eating away the data left by Zola at a speed visible to the naked eye, and immediately caused the other party to scream in disbelief: "What is this?" ?!!!"

"Uh, a computer virus?" Joyce reluctantly explained, and at the same time, he couldn't control his eyes from darkening, and almost knelt on the ground.

Zola was now completely speechless.And before Joyce was so painful that he smashed his head on the monitor, a familiar female voice took over from the bald man and spoke from the loudspeaker. I wonder if it was an illusion caused by his pain, and it sounded a little unhappy. .

"Good afternoon, Mr. Joyce." Although Friday's voice also has the unique metallic texture of AI, it is far more comfortable than Zola: "Please allow me to remind, even if you describe my tracking program as It’s also disrespectful to go viral.”

"Please allow me to express my sincere apologies, ma'am." Joyce slid down the case and sat on the ground, waving his hand at the place where there should be a camera: "I will write you a few programs to apologize... Now, for God's sake, please tell me that Stark's brain is not pretending?"

No call back Friday.And within a few seconds, the originally blocked channel in his headset resumed unblocked with a crackling sound, and in the first second of connection, Iron Man's very dissatisfied voice came out.

"My brain is obviously full of gold."

Tony muttered, visibly upset at Joyce's suspicion.Then he concentrated on directing Friday to fight with Zola:

"Wow, this lunatic is still a little bit capable? Turn yourself into data, what do you think? Can I catch it on Friday and study it?"

"Tony, I'm going in with Sol, open the door..."

"Shit! Plagiarize your brother's ability, see if I don't beat you until you can't heal anymore..."

"..."

With the channel unblocked, no matter whether it was the squad that was attracting firepower outside the base, or the part that was dying on the basement floor, the sound came through the current, and it sounded like nothing serious.Joyce silently breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and began to miserably vomit blood while wondering how long it would take for Stark to let him out.

"Hey, it's pretty easy to hide! Joyce, wait a little longer and see if I don't catch that old man."

"..."

"Oh, oh, this is interesting, doctor, have you just seen it clearly? Let me analyze what the hell is going on with his data flow on Friday."

"..."

"I think I'm inspired. Although this thing is an old man who has been dead for decades and is still bald, I..."

"Fuck. Your Stark, didn't you see that I'm dying?!!" Finally unable to bear the nagging of the other party, Joyce said angrily: "First find someone to come over and get me out!!"

Tony: "..."

Joyce could barely hear what the president's father said afterwards.He was tired and in pain, and he looked like he was about to vomit out all the blood in his body, and his whole body was almost tossed to pieces.But it is also a potentially fatal genetic breakdown, but this time he is not very afraid.The reason is probably because he knows that he will never be left alone in the dark and cold, someone will always find him and bring him back to the world.

Finally, he vaguely heard the loud noise of being smashed open, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and the voice of someone talking in his ear.The tiredness from the soul finally pushed him into the darkness, and Joyce curled up in the warm embrace amidst the familiar atmosphere around him.He knew that he would never be buried in the lonely ruins, and there would always be a pair of eyes that were exactly the same as his own, entrenched in his mind and watching.See how he crosses mountains and rivers and walks out of the barren wilderness to find the answer to the greatest mystery in his life.

"...It's time to go home, Zero."

He finally fell asleep under the gaze of the other party.The bottom of his heart has never been so peaceful and stable, even in deep sleep, there is a beautiful smile on the corner of his mouth.
