Chapter 89
The empty villa was deserted and silent, without any response.
Karolina looked somewhat disappointed. "Wise, is Nico home?"
A somewhat hollow female voice rang out. "Yes, Miss Nico is in her room."
Karolina breathed a sigh of relief, shouted "Great!" and ran up the stairs while calling Nico's name.
The room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
Karolina was stunned when she saw the frozen door. She tried to push it open, but the cold made her pull her hand back instantly.
"Nico, Nico, are you in there? It's me, Karolina."
"Su Quan, come quick, we're in trouble."
Karolina, at a loss, shouted while trying to listen to the sounds coming from the room.
There was no sound, absolutely no sound!
This made her even more anxious.
"Bang!"
Su Quan, who had just arrived at the door, shook it with his hand, and the door, along with the thick layer of Ice, shattered.
"Hiss--"
In an instant, the biting cold wind made Karolina shiver.
Immediately afterwards, he rushed into the room, dumbfounded.
The room had become a world of ice and snow, with white snowflakes drifting down slowly and eerily from the ceiling.
In the corner, a 'snowman' wrapped in a blanket squatted motionless, next to a short, circular staff almost buried by snowflakes...
"Nico!"
Karolina rushed over to check on the situation.
Thankfully, he's still breathing.
Karolina looked to Su Quan for help. Su Quan waved his hand, Nico, who had already lost consciousness, slowly rose into the air and floated out of the room.
"Go to the bathroom."
Karolina called out and ran into the bathroom to turn on the shower.
The sound of rushing water filled the air, and the hot water quickly turned the bathroom into a steamy mess, with waves of heat hitting our faces.
Su Quan didn't put Nico in the bathtub; she was already frozen solid, so soaking her in hot water was definitely not an option.
The temperature in the bathroom gradually rose, and after a few minutes, Nico seemed to regain consciousness and struggled to open her eyes.
"Karolina?"
"Nico, you're awake. Don't worry, you'll be alright."
"Um."
Nico responded softly and closed her eyes again.
"She won't recover in a short time. It's safe here. You stay here with her. I'm going out for a walk," Su Quan said to Karolina.
Karolina nodded. "I have a few more friends. If you find they are still alive, please help them."
Su Quan knew she was referring to the other members of the Runaways. If he encountered them, he would help them as well, since they were laborers after all.
Of the six members of the Runaways, Karolina and Nico are the most beautiful and the strongest.
The remaining one is a Black teenager who has no superpowers but considers himself intelligent and has leadership qualities.
One of them uses a high-tech gauntlet, but the gauntlet's power and technical sophistication are not even as good as the Palm Cannon.
The other two girls, one of whom possesses immense strength, capable of lifting cars and pulling open doors with ease, and whose eyes glow with golden light when using her abilities.
The other one is even more bizarre. It doesn't have any superpowers, but it can control an artificial genetically engineered dinosaur called Old Lace.
While creating dinosaurs through genetic engineering is indeed remarkable, this is the Marvel Universe, so isn't the ability to control dinosaurs a bit of a waste?
P. S.: The reason I wrote about the Runaways in the Zombie Universe is mainly because the children of the Runaways in the Zombie world have grown up.
But in the Main World, they were not yet born, and their parents, especially their mothers, were still young.
Ahem, you all understand.
"Bang!"
Su Quan stood in the study of a villa and waved at the bookshelves.
The bookshelf collapsed instantly, revealing the steps leading to the basement.
This is the home of Alex Wilder, the home of that Black teenager who has no superpowers but considers himself intelligent and a leader.
The basement was decorated in a religious style. As Su Quan descended the stairs, he immediately saw the Shrine in the center of the hall.
The Shrine is about two meters long, silver-gray all over, with a smooth, edgeless surface, and at first glance it looks a bit like a uniquely shaped metal coffin.
"Only one?"
Su Quan walked around the basement and found only one Shrine, which was probably used for Jonah's sacrifice.
The other one, needless to say, is definitely with Jonah.
Besides the Shrine, Su Quan also found a book filled with special symbols, which seemed to be used to enhance the ritualistic feel of their sacrifices.
The special symbols on them are mostly Gibborim script, which is an alien script.
Su Quan used the Teleportation Portal to send the book and Shrine back to Wakanda, then turned and walked out of the basement.
In the TV series, Jonah needs to make sacrifices to prolong his life, and it seems he always stays at Karolina's mother's company.
That is, the headquarters of the church.
Their event, ostensibly for charity, had a significant impact locally. Su Quan discovered a large number of advertisements bearing the name of this religion not far from the residential area.
"Found it."
At the church headquarters building, Su Quan adjusted his body density and went directly to the top floor.
I looked in three rooms, and finally found it.
This is a cozy bedroom, and on the bed lies a man wearing a mask with instruments connected to his arm.
The man's skin looked as if it had been burned by a fire; it was wrinkled and looked very frightening.
This man is Jonah.
Another Shrine was right next to his bed. Su Quan walked over unhurriedly, saying as he went, "My name is Su Quan. I came here specifically to find you and your things."
Reaching the bedside, Su Quan took out a Vibranium arm from the system and smashed it against Jonah, who was motionless and unresponsive.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Absorb Solar and Cosmic Energy (Jonah)"
Su Quan looked down at his hands, and rainbow-like light shone through his skin.
"Don't get excited, I'm not Gibborim, I'm just Omniscient & Omnipotent."
"Not understand?"
"It means that I can possess any ability that exists. I can know anything that has ever happened."
Su Quan looked at John, who was still motionless, and continued speaking to himself.
"So, I know about you and I have your abilities. If you're not happy about it, then jump up and hit me!"
"You're out of energy? Well, there's nothing I can do then. You can only watch as I hit you!"
As he spoke, Su Quan swung his Vibranium arm again.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward: 5 Points"
Su Quan pursed his lips, it seemed he would have to smash it a few more times to get the Possession ability.
Okay, then every five minutes will do!
Five minutes later.
"Bite!"
Points again? Let's try again.
Five more minutes passed.
"Bite!"
Or Points?
Five more minutes passed.
"Bite!"
