"They are all useless products. You can't exchange them for what you want."

In front of this recycling bin made of scrap metal and weapons, a 1.9-meter-tall 'fat man' looked at the scraps brought back by Hawkeye and said unceremoniously

"Four cans! Only one beef!"

"At least five, and there must be two canned meat." Hawkeye argued with reason.

"It's my kid's birthday today, I have to bring him something nice, Fisk! There's also a bottle of aspirin here!"

"Expired aspirin isn't worth much, and you know drugs are the least valuable here."

Wilson Fisk, or rather the man once known as Kingpin, threw the bottle of expired medicine back with disdain and sneered.

"Thanks to our Mr. Osborne and his capable biopharmaceutical researchers, as long as we give a little gene, we have no shortage of drugs here!"

Hawkeye was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice

"Three cans, two of them must contain meat."

"make a deal!"

Jin Bin handed out three cans with a smile on his face, and only then did he see half of his body that was covered and his empty sleeves.

After seeing Hawkeye holding the can like a treasure, Kingpin asked in a voice that concealed malice.

"Actually... you don't have to be so miserable, right? After all, you are a 'superhero'."

Hawkeye stopped, looked at him with a dead look, and said mockingly

"How good are you? The 'Master' of Hell's Kitchen?"

Kingpin's empty sleeves swayed slightly. The former American underworld emperor was now nothing more than a scrap collector.

It is said that he was degenerate, and that was true, but to the people in underground Washington, Kingpin was already a person who was based on the 10%.

In this doomsday scene, maybe you are lucky to be able to survive safely.

"'Superhero'? Is there such a thing now?" Hawkeye turned and left, saying calmly

"Now that's just a bunch of secret police officers, and... I've never been a superhero."

Jin Bin narrowed his eyes, looked at the hawk's eyes going away, and sneered.

"I'm not a lunatic."

…

The tragic story in this doomsday wasteland is actually not worth describing.

If I had to start over, for Hawkeye, it was just Hajime's assassination of Tony Stark.

They kill Stark, and then the sky rains fire.

Then, their world came to ruin.

It's so simple, no reason, no complicated script or setting.

For those demons, those visitors from outer space, there is no need for any reason to slaughter humans and destroy civilization.

The surviving Nick Fury led a group of heroes to escape the first wave of bombings, and then they began to move around Washington State, gathering survivors into this underground hollow city.

It's not that they haven't thought about counterattacking back to the ground, but the current situation on the ground and every war will make the surviving humans tremble with fear.

To put it bluntly, those wars between demons and Ultron are on the level of fights between gods to today's humans, and even to humans in their heyday in the past.

The surface of the earth was cleaned again and again, and terrifying super weapons were scattered everywhere in the atmosphere. Thanks to the fact that the earth is so tenacious, it only turned into a radioactive wasteland under such horrific destruction.

It’s just that this radioactive wasteland is much more miserable than ‘radiation’ and ‘subway’. Because what pollutes the earth is not only nuclear radiation and the terrifying mutant life it brings, but also evil energy with stronger pollution capabilities, and terrifying creatures infected with evil energy.

The destructive power of these monsters is much more terrifying than any nuclear radiation monster. What is more important is the terrifying evil energy pollution they bring, and their own characteristics of being able to 'summon' those terrifying demons.

However, this also proves in disguise that humans are indeed a tenacious species.

Even in such a terrible environment, human beings still survive tenaciously.

However, they have completely lost the idea of ​​counterattacking and regaining their country.

Even if the demon has disappeared, the earth above our head can be said to be an out-and-out forbidden place for life.

Wandering mutated creatures and evil energy pollution, terrifying omnic legions wandering in the fog, every environment on the earth seems to contain endless malice and resentment towards mankind.

Humans are a tenacious species and a species good at learning habits and forgetting.

In just a few years, humans who gave up everything have established a new power structure in this city.

With Nick Fury as the center and S.H.I.E.L.D. operators as the backbone, a governing body was established to rule the entire city.

And the violent group that governs this institution is the superhero.

People who became heroes for various 'noble' purposes in the past are now Nick Fury's lackeys and knives.

They no longer act chivalrously, or rather they standardize their work and put it frontally.

From a free-spirited and illegal superhero to a legal police officer.

This job is familiar to these superheroes who are keen on robbing police officers. It is nothing more than abiding by more rules and listening to more words.

This is why Hawkeye is unwilling to join in the same trend.

From the very beginning, Hawkeye is not a qualified agent. He is calm, but he is not absolutely loyal. Hidden under his cold expression is a heart no less than Steve's.

He left the team and spent half a year retrieving his wife and daughter.

Perhaps God was blessing him, and in this extremely bad apocalyptic environment, his wife and daughter were safe and sound.

Returning to this safe settlement again, Hawkeye also gave up his identity as a hero and supported his family from the perspective of a 'scavenger'.

It's nothing, this is just returning to my old profession.

After sorting out his mood, Hawkeye returned to his simple bungalow home and put on the face of a good father.

He brought two canned meats as a twelfth birthday present for his daughter.

According to previous standards, this gift cannot be described as stingy, but at this time, these two canned meats are already extremely precious.

The eagle's eyes watched lovingly as his daughter devoured these two rare delicacies, and then shared the remaining can with his wife.

As luck would have it, it turned out to be pea soup.

After heating it slightly, they shared the bowl of pea soup equally. The shriveled nutritious grains and their slightly soft texture reminded them of the past.

Button, button, button.

There was a gentle knock on the door. Hawkeye put his hand on the homemade pistol behind his back, slowly opened the door, and then quickly put down the gun.

Standing behind the door is Hawkeye's familiar old friend - Black Widow.

Of course, she is no longer a female agent who relies on coloring. Today, Natasha, the black widow, is the leader of the entire underground Washington police agency.

"Long time no see, Clint." Natasha greeted her old friend with a smile, but her always charming smile looked terrifying because of the hideous scar that cut across half of her face.

It would be difficult for Natasha to seduce her now. This scar left by a demon will stay with her forever.

"What does the Gestapo boss want from me?"

Hawkeye said half teasingly, half warning - even if he is a former colleague, he will never allow his family to be disturbed!

"Come on Clint, SHIELD needs your help!"

Natasha's expression instantly became serious, she grabbed Clint's hands and said in a deep voice

"Isn't SHIELD destroyed a long time ago?" Clint took out his hand and said without changing his expression.

"You are the rulers of the government now, so you still need a weak-legged person like me."

"Don't say that, Clint! Our mission this time is about whether humans can survive or even go back to the past!"

"That's what you say every time." Hawkeye remained unmoved and even wanted to sneer.

"Do you want us to sacrifice our lives for you without revealing the details of the mission? I hated your approach at the time!"

Although Hawkeye is also an agent of SHIELD, most of the time Hawkeye's job was just as a sweeper.

His character and position made him naturally hate these damn Riddlers, especially when these guys deceived themselves into working for them, but they were still reluctant to reveal the truth about the facts and missions.

"Also, my family and I live very safely and do not need your 'protection'!"

Hawkeye's stern warning made Black Widow's expression suffocate. She looked at the room behind Hawkeye and lowered her head.

"...I can only tell you that our mission this time is to find someone."

Natasha hesitated for a moment, seeming to consider whether she could tell Hawkeye about this matter, but after thinking about it, she still said firmly

"who?"

"I can't say his name, I can only say it was a...dead man."

328. The moment of light

In the story about light and darkness, the gardener and the winnower, the whereabouts of the gardener involved in this game has always been a mystery.

Even Arrogance, who 'created' this story, doesn't know the whereabouts of the gardener. In other words, he doesn't know the true identity of this gardener?

In this story, the gardener who has been responsible for the creation and adjustment of life finally intervenes in the game because he is dissatisfied with the single development of all things. On the other hand, the winnower who is responsible for destruction and cleanup breaks his own rules because the gardener does not follow the rules. rule.

So it seems that the gardener who represents the light is the evildoer who breaks the rules.

But when the winnowing man and his chosen messenger arrived in this world, the boundless darkness and the soul-stealing light of two parallel worlds swallowed up lives and civilizations one after another.

Because the gardener did not follow the rules, the winnowers also changed their own rules.

He handed over the screening work that should have been performed by the species itself and the cosmic environment into his own hands, to assess and complete it all by himself.

The winnower appears, his darkness is spreading, and his messengers are wreaking havoc.

What about light? What about gardeners? As the earliest being involved in all this in this story, where is he?

No one knows the answer to this.

Because just like the name winnowing man refers to the source of darkness in general, the gardener and his "light" may also be a metaphor for other concepts.

Perhaps the light that confronts the darkness, the light that opposes the winnowing man, represents the force that created the universe.

This force actually exists.

This power called light energy, which can fight against swarms of insects and purify darkness, exists in many corners of the world.

For mystics and Asgardians, the so-called light energy is magic, which is the special energy they can borrow from the universe.

For races that play with technology, light energy is often some kind of power that touches the truth of the universe that they come into contact with under extremely coincidental circumstances.

This energy is so powerful and can restrain the terrifying darkness and his apostles, but few people can truly understand and use this power.

Just as the shadow that is opposite to light energy represents destruction and trial, the nature possessed by light energy is also the opposite concept.

Create and coexist

This is the true meaning of the concept of the power of light energy. Just like the insect swarm understands the source of darkness through the evil sword law, only by establishing a certain law can life understand and use light energy.

…

"According to the signal transmission, our target should be right ahead."

Under extremely heavy radiation-proof suits, amid the weak sound of radio waves, members of a team were trudging through the radioactive wasteland. The wind blowing in front of them made the Geiger counter chirp crazily, making everyone extremely nervous. uncomfortable.

They are currently in Manhattan Island, New York State

In the ruins of a city that had been destroyed even before this world-destroying war.

Standing here, it seems that you can still see the half-renovated Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately, the former government's face-saving reconstruction project will never be completed.

The goddess with only her lower body left is just like the current situation in the United States and even the world.

Leading a team of former superheroes and agents is none other than Hawkeye Clint.

After all, he still couldn't completely abandon the friendship between his old comrades, and the conditions offered by Nick Fury were indeed irresistible to Hawkeye.

Not only will his wife and daughter get a better life and conditions, but more importantly -

This time, what they went to find might really be the hope of mankind.

"After entering the Manhattan Island area, everyone should cheer up and stimulate their spirits every twenty minutes."

Before leading the members into Manhattan, Hawkeye gave everyone a serious warning.

"Why do you do this?"
