Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 13 Will-O-Wisp on the Battlefield
It was easy for Suze to see Okoye's hostility towards him.

It’s not right to say it’s hostility. If you have to say it, it should be considered a kind of vigilance and distrust.

It was obvious that the other party was not targeting him. There was no grudge between them in the past or today. It was the first contact, so there was no reason for Okoye to have any opinion of him.

So based on this point, Su Ze quickly figured out the key, which is that the people of Wakanda are very hostile to the US government, the military, and even the now deserted SHIELD hidden in the darkness.

Recall what happened when Wakanda joined the United Nations. First, the people were harmed, then the king was killed, and even for a long time, various organizations had been eyeing their vibranium.

Taking all these factors into consideration, from Wakanda's perspective, it is indeed difficult for them to have any good feelings towards outsiders.

Although the entire Earth should be on one side when it comes to Thanos, in reality, apart from a few heroes, it seems that the only people who really participate in this war are Wakanda.

When Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf attacked New York to seize the Time Stone, only Iron Man and Spider-Man were present. And when everyone in Wakanda was preparing for war, there was no sound from the outside world.

By the end of the war, not only did the Wakanda warriors suffer heavy losses, but even the new king, Black Panther T'Challa, died heroically. At this point, SHIELD, which should have been an ally, sent itself over without stopping.

The excuse is to establish connections and exchange information.

But these words sound a bit harsh to the ears of these Wakandans.

They would rather believe that their arrival has some darker purpose and intention, or even that this is a way for SHIELD to secretly investigate the current situation of Wakanda.

Different standpoints, different angles, Su Ze would not be surprised no matter how dark the thoughts were being pinned on him.

Even though he didn't have such an idea himself, and Karina didn't assign him such a task.

It's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime. This kind of thing itself cannot be explained clearly.

No wonder Post left the union so quickly, it seems he had a lot of contact with Wakandans before.

Just as Su Ze was sorting out the information he had received in his mind, the royal guard leading the way suddenly stopped.

Su Ze paused and came to his senses suddenly. He almost bumped into the other person's back. He looked up and around, and then he found that he had come to the edge of a grassland.

There are endless yellow grasslands and patches of woods in the distance.

Originally, this should have been a peaceful place full of natural atmosphere, but now the land is full of hideousness.

The land was dyed red with blood, and the grass and soil on the ground were turned over. Countless alien devices and various corpses were piled together. Just from the current environment, Su Ze could imagine how tragic the previous battle here was.

Su Ze's location was at a relatively high altitude, and he could have a good view of the entire area in the distance. Looking down along the landslide, he could have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.

"Here is the place."

The female guard looked at Su Ze sideways and spoke in a neutral tone.

However, Su Ze did not respond. His eyes were fixed on the corpses piled up in the distance.

As the war ended, the surviving Wakandans were cleaning up the battlefield, and the tribal army led by M'Baku sorted out the corpses to prevent those alien products from contaminating the land.

Looking at the monster's corpse that required four or five people to lift, Su Ze felt his lips a little dry.

What if I didn’t go to New York?
What if the time point when I traveled through was the battlefield in Wakanda?
Faced with such a terrifying enemy, with my current abilities, can I survive in this environment?
Su Ze no longer thought about the answers to these questions. He was now eager to improve his combat effectiveness as soon as possible. "Aren't you going to collect the samples 'personally'? Why are you standing here like an idiot?"

Seeing that the foreigner did not react for a long time, the female guard thought that Su Ze was frightened by this scene, which made the contempt in her eyes even more obvious.

Hearing this, Su Ze nodded slightly, then walked directly towards the battlefield.

He did not forget what his mission was, nor did he forget the purpose of his coming here.

Su Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and kept looking around, while he was thinking in his heart which direction he should start from to confirm his guess.

Judging from the pager activation [artifact] and the description of the bloody text, one must approach and touch those objects full of obsession in order to display their special abilities.

There are so many Wakandans watching here. As an outsider, it is obviously not appropriate to touch the corpses and alien debris one by one.

In this case, the choice of objects needs to be carefully considered.

Just as Su Ze was deep in thought, suddenly a faint blue fluorescent light floating in the air in the distance attracted his attention.

It was a flame suspended in the air, flickering an inconspicuous glow in the setting sun. If it had not been for the fact that it was getting dark, Su Ze would not have noticed the existence of this thing for a moment.

"Ghost fire?"

After a slight pause, Su Ze couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice.

The female guard who had been following Su Ze closely had a strange expression on her face when she heard what he said.

She also followed Su Ze's gaze and looked into the distance, but she saw nothing except the hideous earth and some debris.

"What are you talking about, what will-o'-the-wisp?"

"Oh, it's phosphorescence."

Su Ze didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that the Wakandans didn't understand what he was saying, so he started to explain.

"The flame produced when phosphine burns, the decomposition of human or animal corpses, will produce blue-green flames floating in the air after spontaneous combustion. In my hometown, this thing is called..."

"I know what a will-o'-the-wisp is." Before Su Ze could finish, the female guard interrupted. "I wanted to ask why you suddenly said this."

His words were interrupted, and even the good-tempered Su Ze couldn't help but frown.

However, when he heard the second half of the female guard's words, his expression changed instantly.

After making sure that the female guard's reaction did not seem fake, Su Ze looked back at the flame again and pinched his thigh lightly with his fingers. The pain immediately made his brain clearer.

Good, it’s not an illusion.

Su Ze suppressed the excitement rising in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

Since the flame was not an illusion, and the female guard could not see the flame, there was only one possibility.
This damn thing is the same as the bloody text!
