The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 218 Who are you calling short?

After Du Mu's earnest and patient physics instruction, Ashley completely changed.

She is unusually obedient now. If Du Mu says one thing, she will never say two. If he tells her to go east, she will never go west. Even her voice is eight octaves lower when she answers.

Hawkeye was amazed.

He never expected Du Mu's method to be so effective; the rebellious little fairy had instantly transformed into a well-behaved girl, even her eyes had become clear.

If he had known this would happen, he should have given Ashley a good beating when she was still young, instead of being unable to win a verbal or physical fight.

After things came to a close, Hawkeye drove Ashley back to his ex-wife's place.

To help Hawkeye and Ashley bond, Du Mu was the driver, with Twilight Sparkle in the passenger seat and Hawkeye and Ashley in the back, squeezed together with Wade.

Looking at Ashley's Spider-Man costume, Wade seemed to suddenly activate some kind of attribute, excitedly saying, "Niece, do you know your Uncle Wade? I'm your grandpa's best buddy Deadpool. I was a strong rival to your grandma back then."

Ashley: "???"

Wade's talkative skills were fully activated, and he started bombarding Ashley with a barrage of words without stopping, driving Ashley to the brink of collapse.

If Du Mu's torture was physical, then Wade's was pure mental torture, forcibly stuffing all sorts of messy things into her brain, making her feel like her whole brain was filthy.

Ashley looked at Hawkeye with an unprecedented plea for help in her eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never longed for the protection of a father's love from this biological father as much as she did at this moment.

But Hawkeye remained unmoved.

As I said before, he's blind; he can't see anything.

When the third ex-wife opened the door and saw Hawkeye bring back a female creature with a face swollen like a pig's head, whose features were almost unrecognizable, she thought Hawkeye's tastes had become so extreme.

Upon learning that the other party was actually her own daughter, she was immediately heartbroken and cursed Kingpin for being inhuman, for causing such terrible harm to her daughter, who was not only physically injured but also mentally unstable. One can only imagine the cruel and inhuman torture she had endured!

Upon learning that Du Mu had killed Kingpin, the third ex-wife was filled with gratitude, praising Du Mu as a superhero who had killed that beast Kingpin who had tormented her daughter.

Kingpin:

'

Du Mu looked at Ashley, who was in a daze, and patted her on the shoulder. She instinctively trembled and her pupils instantly focused.

"What's wrong, Uncle Du?" Ashley asked anxiously.

Everyone else was shocked. They were amazed at how badly he had been trained. Du Mu simply patted him on the shoulder, and he was able to break free from Wade's mental control in an instant.

"It's nothing, I just want you to behave well from now on, otherwise Uncle Du will have to come and visit again."

Du Mu chuckled and said, "There's an old saying in the East: 'Learning without thinking is futile; thinking without learning is dangerous.' It means that if you don't reflect on what you've been taught, you've wasted your time; and if you still refuse to learn after reflecting, you're doomed."

99

"I understand, Uncle Du."

Ashley felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, and hurriedly nodded, almost bursting into tears.

There's nothing we can do; the trauma Du Mu left her with is too deep, and she'll probably never recover from it.

Wade chuckled, looking like a creepy uncle: "Niece, Uncle Wade is leaving, and I don't have much to give you as a souvenir. Why don't you give this Spider-Man costume to Uncle Wade as a keepsake..."

boom!

Wade instantly activated his third eye and collapsed to the ground.

Du Mu snorted coldly: "What are you talking about? She's just a child."

Ashley:

'

When you hit me, you didn't seem to say that.

Du Mu and the others did not linger; they had to hurry to New Babylon, throw Wade's body onto the Spider-Cart, and then sped away.

Goodbye, Uncle Du.

Ashley watched the Spider-Man car drive away, waving her arms frantically, tears welling in her eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was extremely reluctant to part with Du Mu.

"And so, with my excellent teamwork, our captain defeated Magneto, and our immortal duo saved the world once again. As for old Logan, he stayed in that parallel universe and became good brothers with young Logan and Scott, living a good life with Jean and the other three. That's more important than anything else."

Wade, in the passenger seat, was talking animatedly, gesturing wildly, while Hawkeye, who was driving, listened with great interest.

Yes, he lost again with a double home run.

Hawkeye felt that the two had acted recklessly before, so he decided to change the game and decide by drawing lots!

Unsurprisingly, he lost.

Wade thought this old guy was even more ridiculous than himself. How could a blind man play rock-paper-scissors or draw lots with someone? What else could it be but ridiculous?

Hawkeye was initially a bit overwhelmed, thinking this trip would be another ordeal, but this time his biological daughter wouldn't be there to divert attention. However, he unexpectedly stumbled upon Logan's gossip.

If you talk about this, I won't be sleepy anymore!

"I never knew Logan was so obsessed with stealing Lasereye's boyfriend. You can even make yourself a rival."

Eagle Eyes grinned from ear to ear, his face crinkling into a deep wrinkle.

Twilight Wolf's face was as black as Kingpin's. He gritted his teeth and said, "Those Logans aren't me. We all look different, and... I'm not as tall as them."

He absolutely refused to acknowledge those two silly Logans as his counterparts, and to that end, he resorted to self-deprecation to distance himself from any connection between them.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "But essentially you're all the same; you all want to poach Laser Eye's men. That's the underlying code of all Logan."

Twilight Wolf:

'

He couldn't refute that, since that was indeed what he thought.

Eagle Eyes listened with great interest and seized the opportunity to ask, "By the way, how many people are in your Undead Alliance?"

Du Mu thought for a moment: "Besides me and Wade, there's also Old Logan's daughter, two saber-toothed tigers, and three Wolverines. If the old wolves of this world also join us, we can form the Four Heavenly Kings."

Hawkeye exclaimed in surprise: "So many Wolverines, aren't you afraid they'll tear your house down?"

He knew the temperament and personality of the wolf very well. Even if they were from different universes, they were probably pretty much the same. It was no different from keeping a few huskies at home.

Du Mu waved his hand: "It's okay. Our team has also recruited two Professor Xs as consultants. One of them has decades of dog training experience. Even the most temperamental dog will turn into a watchdog in front of them."

"Awesome!"

Hawkeye was surprised that this Undead Alliance was so powerful, even managing to gather two mutants as strong as Professor X.

He suddenly asked with a shameless grin, "Um... do you think I can apply to join your team? I don't need to be a formal member, just a nominal member like Professor X would be fine."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Why do you want to join our team?"

Eagle's eyes turned serious: "This world is no longer the era of superheroes. Those superheroes who are still alive are either hiding or have forgotten who they are. I don't want to be like them, finding a corner to quietly wait for death. I want to find something I can still do, even if it's just a little bit."

This wasteland world isn't without superheroes, but their will has long been worn down. Most of them, like Old Wolf, have suffered severe physical and mental trauma and have chosen to escape.

Hawkeye is the only superhero who maintains his beliefs and has a strong inner drive. He doesn't want to be an ordinary person; even if he dies, he wants to die as a superhero.

Du Mu nodded: "I see. There is still a vacancy in our team."

"What location?"

"The gatekeeper."

Hawkeye: "...Um, could I listen in, sir?"

The four drove across America, talking non-stop the entire way.

Of course, 90% of the chat logs were contributed by Wade alone.

As they drove further and further away, the scenery outside the car gradually became strange.

For example, the ubiquitous dinosaurs, as the previous rulers of Earth and ancestors of humankind, have reappeared on this land in great numbers, rising from extinct species to common life forms. Dinosaur meat has become one of the most common foods in this wasteland world.

Du Mu was very curious about what dinosaur meat tasted like, so he asked Wade to get some dinosaur meat and barbecue it on the spot.

At first, Wade was reluctant, but after eating the dinosaur meat skewers made by Du Mu, his eyes lit up and he insisted on marrying Du Mu and making barbecue for him from then on.

A gunshot rang out, and Wade immediately shut up.

Twilight Wolf and Hawkeye clapped and cheered, and naturally took Wade's share of the barbecue.

In addition, most of those old landmark buildings or locations have changed their appearance.

Beneath the ruins of Baxter Tower, home of the Fantastic Four, lies a massive skeleton. The horned helmet atop the skull clearly identifies the individual.

On the rock face of Mount Rushmore, four Hokage... On the far right of the presidential statue, there is an additional head with a completely different style, which is none other than Red Skull, the leader of Hydra.

There's also a highway in Connecticut where a skeleton even larger than the one beneath the Baxter Building lies—the remains of superhero Ant-Man—now a famous landmark: Pym Cross Road.

Du Mu and Wade found everything new and exciting, and they would stop to take photos whenever they passed a unique landscape.

And so they ate and took photos along the way; if you didn't know they were transporting goods, you'd probably think they were on a road trip.

Unfortunately, they were already more than halfway through their journey and hadn't encountered any major villains, so Du Mu's mission objective hadn't progressed at all.

"Hawkeye, I think you shouldn't be using a bow, but a sword. That way you can perfectly utilize your abilities. You know, your abilities are so powerful that even the Infinity Stones can forget about you. Otherwise, do you really think you just relied on luck to dodge Thanos' snap?"

Eagle Eye:

'

God, why am I blind instead of deaf?

Wade kept harassing Hawkeye.

Suddenly, he stopped and blinked. "Guys, did you hear anything?"

"I heard you."

Du Mu nodded, and the wolf beside him seemed to sense it as well, turning towards the top of the towering rock wall on the right.

"roar--!!!"

The roar rolled down like thunder, and a huge black shadow crashed behind the car!

Amidst the rising dust, a bizarre Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared.

Its entire body was covered in flowing black and white substances, with countless tentacle-like semi-liquid writhing wildly on its surface. Its gaping maw was wide open, revealing a mouthful of sharp, gleaming teeth, and a long, scarlet tongue lashed out of its mouth, spitting saliva everywhere.

【venom】

[Description: A symbiotic race from extraterrestrial life, possessing independent thought, they can only survive by merging with a host. They can grant the host immense power and the memories of past hosts, and the symbiote can replicate the host's abilities and memories, but at the same time, it amplifies the host's true nature to an extreme degree, fearing sound waves and fire.]

"It's Venom!"

Timberwolf immediately recognized the thing on the Tyrannosaurus Rex and yelled at Hawkeye, "Full speed! Don't stop!"

The Venom Tyrannosaurus Rex's pale, vertical pupils were fixed on the spider-car in front of it.

It recognized the logo on the Spider-Man vehicle; it was none other than its nemesis, Spider-Man!

"roar-!!"

The Venom Tyrannosaurus Rex reared its head and let out a deafening roar. Its muscles swelled abnormally under the symbiote, and it burst forth with a speed completely disproportionate to its massive body.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump—

It took huge strides to start chasing the spider car, each stomp of its foot sending up gravel and causing a dull tremor in the ground.

"Shit!"

Hawkeye cursed. Even though he couldn't see, he could feel the huge commotion behind him. He quickly slammed on the gas pedal, and the Spider-Car's engine roared as it sped forward like lightning.

However, this did not create much distance; on the contrary, the Venomous Tyrannosaurus Rex got closer and closer to the Spider-Car.

"Aaaaah! They're catching up! Faster! Faster!"

Wade looked back and frantically shook Hawkeye's arm.

"We're going to be eaten! We'll all turn into dinosaur poop, and then hundreds of millions of years later, archaeologists will dig us up as dinosaur dung fossils and display us in a museum. Then everyone will know about us idiots who got swallowed by dinosaurs!"

"Shut up! I'm already driving at my fastest speed!"

Hawkeye felt Wade's noise attack was more terrifying than Venomous Tyrannosaurus Rex, and roared, "We have to take care of that big guy behind us! Otherwise, we'll be caught sooner or later!"

Wade was still gesturing wildly: "Quickly get Star-Lord over here, nobody knows more about dinosaurs than him, or Black Widow will do too—"

Crackling sounds!

Before he could finish speaking, a hand reached out from the back seat and rested on Wade's shoulder. A strong electric current surged through him, and Wade instantly stiffened, falling asleep immediately.

Du Mu didn't fire his gun; he didn't want the filth to splash all over the cart.

"Eagle, slow down, I'll handle it."

Are you sure?

"You just drive, leave the rest to me."

Du Mu stood up, turned around, steadied himself in the bumpy car, and looked at the Venom Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The Venomous Tyrannosaurus Rex stared at Du Mu, then roared.

"Short guy—stop—eat—"

Upon hearing this, Du Mu raised an eyebrow, and a large flamethrower suddenly appeared in his hand, which he aimed at the Venom Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Who are you calling short?"
