The Dawn Trail in the World of American Comics

"Swoosh"

The Kite Man, who was soaring down from the sky at an extremely fast speed, retracted the black wing-shaped "kite" behind his back and landed precisely in front of the bamboo building, just like a predator.

He reached out and pressed the diamond-shaped switch on his chest.

The black biological material and mechanical structure of the wings behind him closed and were stored in the titanium alloy backpack. Judging from Charles' expression, he was not very satisfied with this flight.

"How is it?"

Mason, who walked out of the house, asked. The Kite Man shook his head and said:

"Not conducting wind tunnel tests has indeed caused some problems with our original design. Not to mention the complexity of flight control, just the vibration during flight is enough to turn me into a bald chicken due to mistakes. We still need to make continuous improvements. However, this result is already very good for a prototype flying wing. Boss, our ship is ready in the open sea, and representatives from various forces are ready to board. We should go."

"Okay."

Mason nodded and casually threw a strange-looking gun to the Kite Man, who widened his eyes after taking a glance.

The gun in his hand had the appearance of a pistol, but there was a circular drum magazine inserted at the back of the gun body. It had a futuristic design, good grip comfort, and the drum magazine design ensured that this pistol would never lack firepower.

"Not bad."

Charles disassembled the combat pistol in his hand and said:

"This is much better than the pistols we are currently using. Did you make this?"

"It's a prototype. You can use it for now."

Mason frowned and looked at the "Stellar Body" combat pistol in the Kite Man's hand. He said:

"The finished product of this thing still needs an intelligent fire control chip, otherwise, the bullet charging device inside cannot be activated. But we don't have this kind of thing at hand. However, in terms of firepower and power alone, it is indeed several levels higher than an ordinary pistol. I will make more for everyone later. You go ahead, Charles. I will follow with Jason."

After saying that, Mason released his own flying motorcycle. The Kite Man didn't try to persuade him any further, he inserted the new pistol into the weapon slot on his waist armor and activated the thrusters of the flying backpack, soaring into the sky again, and opened the black biological wings in the air.

Although he complained about the new wings, Charles seemed to be enjoying himself.

Indeed, no matter how old a man is, he always has the heart of a teenager.

"Two-Bucket, are you sober yet?"

Mason shouted towards the small tent next to the bamboo building.

A few seconds later, a drunken Jason Todd stumbled out of it, with vomit stains all over his robe, looking extremely messy.

Ignoring the young man, he put on his safety helmet and inserted the car key.

When Two-Bucket approached him, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

The hidden black pistol instantly pressed against the back of Mason's head. As long as he pulled the trigger, the captain of the K Squad would meet his demise.

But Mason didn't even change his expression.

He casually said:

"Are you threatening me with the gun I made? Two-Bucket, is there something wrong with your brain?"

"The bullet won't care who you are!"...

Jason gritted his teeth and said:

"I have removed the obstruction device you installed in the gun, so now your life is in my hands, Mason. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? What do you want to achieve? Why did you drag Barbara into your damn team? If someone has to go to hell, it should be me alone!"

"I didn't force her, she chose it herself."

Mason got on the motorcycle, popped out the rocket-shaped car bucket, and said:

"And I don't think I'm the one who forced her to make this choice. Do you think Barbara didn't realize that you fell into my hands? I think she agreed to my invitation so easily because she also wanted to protect you. You're a stupid guy who hurts everyone's hearts even though everyone loves you. Get on the bike! My partners are waiting for me. Being late in such an important transaction is not a good attitude for long-term business."

"I won't!"

Two-Bucket stubbornly put his finger on the trigger. As long as he got excited, Mason would be dead on the spot. It seemed like the scene of the conflict with Scarecrow was happening again.

But Mason just glanced at him silently, retracted the car bucket, started the motorcycle, and flew into the sky towards the Black Pearl, leaving Two-Bucket behind.

From start to finish, Two-Bucket didn't fire a single shot.

Mason didn't care about Two-Bucket's attitude at all.

This irritable stubborn guy could either join the K Squad and go back with them, or stay in this world forever and learn to fight against pirates and zombies like an 18th-century pirate with his excellent skills.

With his talent, maybe decades later, there would be a legendary story about the "Demon Slayer Hero Jason Todd" circulating in this world.

Just like Aoying, the initiative was always in Mason's hands.

As for whether Two-Bucket would shoot him out of anger, Mason never even considered this possibility.

Barbara was still on the ship.Mason might be spared by Selina if Batman intervenes, but Kite Man, the "loyal captain," would definitely throw Batgirl into the sea without hesitation.

Twin Bucket and Batgirl are like bound twins. As long as Barbara doesn't have any problems, Twin Bucket, no matter how angry he is, will obediently submit due to guilt in his heart.

What's even more complicated is that according to Gordon's guardianship agreement, Barbara is Mason's foster sister...

This relationship is really complicated.

Twin Bucket on the beach watched as Mason disappeared. He looked at the gun in his hand and understood Mason's thoughts and actions. He gritted his teeth and moved the muzzle to his own chin, raising his cheek.

Just pull the trigger...

But if he dies here, what will happen to Barbara, who has already become a member of the K Squad?

Although Jason, who had contact with Mr. Sandstorm, didn't understand the inside story of the Star Cluster, he already knew that the organization behind Mason's back was not a good one from the actions of that squad in Gotham.

Without his protection, how can kind-hearted Barbara survive in this organization?

Fuck!

Twin Bucket finally dropped the gun in despair.

He felt like Mason had thrown him into a trap, and at the moment, there seemed to be no solution. Unless he could really harden his heart and stop caring about the future of his hurt sister.

But can he do that?...

Perhaps he should tell Batman everything here...

"Hmm? Who are you?"

A tired voice sounded from behind Twin Bucket.

Jason turned his head and saw a scruffy-looking magician in black and gray magic armor, with a red curtain cape draped over himself, walking out of the bamboo building with a puzzled expression.

This guy was holding a heavy magic book in his arms, and a strange-shaped magical instrument was floating on his shoulder.

"Mason brought in another new member?"

John Constantine looked at Twin Bucket, who was in a daze, in surprise. He held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "That guy is really a bastard who deserves to go to hell. Luckily, so am I. They went to the ship, right? Do you want to go together? Kid, you really look like you just got kicked in the balls by Mason.

Come on, tell Uncle John how he bullied you?"

"Get lost!"

Twin Bucket, who was in a bad mood, didn't know Constantine, but he disliked this guy who seemed slick and smooth-talking.

But can Constantine indulge him?

Spit!

Twin Bucket wasn't a delicate and pretty girl!

The warlock sneered and casually took out a dragon-shaped talisman and flicked it.

With a loud roar, a black zombie wyvern suddenly appeared and bit towards Twin Bucket on the beach, startling him. Twin Bucket quickly jumped back a few steps to avoid the virus-infested dragon's kiss.

"Are you crazy?"

Jason grabbed the gun and aimed it at Constantine, shouting, "You bastards in this squad are all fucking crazy!"

"Hey, let me remind you, kid."

Constantine did something, and the dangerous zombie wyvern obediently lowered its head to him, allowing the warlock to step on its back, which was covered in scales, like a throne.

The black magician, who enjoyed himself, made a comfortable seat like a throne.

Constantine spread his hands, emitting smoke, and said, "You are also a member of the K Squad. Insulting me is the same as insulting yourself... Oh, I guess I know who you are now, Jason Todd! The little idiot who betrayed the Bat family for some stupid reason.

You don't even realize that your enmity with Batman is exactly what the Joker wants to see.

Being used by the same person twice, it seems like your brain isn't very useful.

Hmm, you still have the scent of the Lazarus Pit on you. Come, let Uncle John show you a little secret."

Constantine opened the newly completed magic book in his hand and released the small unicorn Bolly, which had a strange black horn and was making a fuss in his arms, letting it howl and spin around.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

He flipped to a certain page in the magic book and showed Twin Bucket a meaningful smile amidst the rising smoke.

He said, "You have no idea what kind of dark power is hidden in that pool of water. Let me show you a magic trick I just learned. You're in luck, this is Mr. Grindelwald's original creation.

And by the way, help that damn Mason resolve the internal conflicts within the team."

---

On the Black Pearl, Mason's arrival marked the beginning of the trade.

A large table was set up on the deck, with Selina, the representative of the K Squad, who was already known as the "Cat Goddess" in this world, sitting on one side...

And there were many people sitting on the other side.

In addition to the flamboyantly dressed old friend Barbossa, there were also the Admiral Commander of the British Royal Fleet from Dai Ying, envoys from other pirate kings, representatives of the North American pioneers, and even an alliance formed by some supernatural powers from the Caribbean and South America under the apocalypse.

They had all brought large boxes filled with ice, used to transport the "Hope Elixir" that needed to be kept in low temperatures.And those who can come here are the upper-class people who received "sample gifts" in the last trading discussion. They have immune serum flowing in their bodies and are no longer afraid of the Black Death and zombies.

There are also several wild black brothers who simply hang dried zombie heads and claws on their bodies to demonstrate their purity, fearlessness, and bravery.

At least ten ships are anchored around the Black Pearl, making it look like the ship is surrounded.

But that is not the case.

Those ten ships are filled with various rare resources and treasures collected by various forces for Team K, as required. In this era of the apocalypse, these valuable things have become objects of hope for the rulers.

Everyone's eyes are shining.

That is the light of ambition, future, and power.

In the few hours since Mason returned to Turtle Island, he has already learned about the plans of these forces through his own pirates and sailors.

Barbossa and the Royal Fleet have reached an agreement.

Once the hope medicine arrives, they will immediately return to the North American continent and slaughter the zombies on this fertile land together with the pioneers in the north.

They even made a three-party agreement to divide this continent and establish three kingdoms.

Other forces are the same.

The pirate kings in various sea areas have their own territories and manpower. They are also waiting for Mason to distribute the promised miracle medicine and lead their warriors back to their own territories to rebuild their powerful kingdoms.

Everything seems to be getting better.

Even if the effective period of this miracle medicine is only two months, even if they use this miracle medicine, it means that they will be bound to Team K's chariot.

Even if they successfully establish a country and restore the world, they will have an additional "uncrowned king" on their heads.

But in this era, who can consider things so far in the future?

Let's talk about the future later.

"Don't waste time."

Mason walked to the table in big strides and said to both sides:

"Now let's prove our sincerity with practical actions."

He raised his hand and waved, and Charles and several strong black brothers under Captain Jack immediately carried silver-gray medicine boxes from under the deck.

The appearance of those technological medicine boxes immediately attracted the attention and excitement of everyone present.

Barbossa was the first to stand up and walked to the medicine box. When Mason reached out to open the box for him, a cold air like refrigeration spread from it.

The pirate king looked at the two thousand vaccines placed in the box, as if he saw his bright future.

He laughed and took out an integrated syringe from it and placed it under the sun to check...

The wonderful plastic material refracted a different light, making the legendary pirate feel as comfortable as drinking fine wine on a cold day.

He turned around and gave Mason a hug.

This made a hint of resistance appear on Mason's face.

There is no way, we cannot demand more hygiene habits from the pirates of this era...

"Come here!"

Barbossa waved his hand, and two people who looked like tribal chiefs stepped forward quickly.

Under the gaze of everyone, the pirate king showed off his gold teeth and proudly injected the syringe into his "new friend's" arm.

He said in a bewitching voice:

"Now, you also have the key to the next era! Don't forget who fought for it for you!"

The two tribal chiefs immediately knelt down and pledged allegiance to Barbossa, and more medicine boxes were carried out and distributed to different forces according to the previous agreement.

It is not only Barbossa who is gathering strength in these seven days.

Dai Ying's fleet is even more exaggerated. Mason even saw military personnel with Italian and French styles in their team. These military personnel who still maintain a certain discipline in the apocalypse took the first reaction after obtaining the miracle medicine to send it back to their own flagship several miles away.

The king and ministers are still waiting there.

"Dragon! There is a dragon in the sky!"

On the joyful and harmonious deck, someone shouted first.

Then everyone looked up at the sky and saw a black zombie flying dragon circling around the Black Pearl. This scene frightened the superstitious sailors and pirates, and some even drew their weapons at the sky.

But Selina quickly stopped this chaos.

Lady Cat used her noble and unquestionable voice to announce loudly:

"That is my ally! It is a powerful wizard who has tamed the black flying dragon! Don't panic, my partners, this will also be your friend!"

Selina's announcement immediately caused bursts of admiration from the crowd on the deck.

After all, although supernatural powers exist in this world, flying dragons are truly rare and almost only exist in legends. After Selina, Mason grabbed a communication earphone and put it in his ear, and scolded:

"John! What the hell are you doing?"

"I didn't want to come either, you bastard."

Zhang Kang complained in the communication."It's all because of you! Although we made various preparations, it seems that my warning to the Justice League still triggered a curse.

It

has become very active these past two days, but it quieted down again this morning.

Also, I found a way to safely obtain the power of the curse.

I couldn't ignore Xiao Zha's summon, so I came here to help Selina and Charles complete that ritual before I have to go back.

Let's find a quieter place and talk.

Oh, by the way.

I brought your new team member with me. I also activated the power of the Lazarus Pit and placed a curse on him, so you don't have to worry about this irritable guy causing trouble anymore."
