Chapter 1140 (1/2)
”Hi, Howard. Merry Christmas.”
Seeing Howard's predatory behavior, Steve oddly picked up a ham in front of him. He put the plate in front of Howard because he felt that if he didn't feed Howard fast, he might be starving to death.
”Well, er, why are you here?”
Howard didn't know why he had steamed buns for Christmas, but they were delicious. He saw Steve sitting at the table with a red sweater on after his blood sugar returned to normal.
”Today is Christmas Eve, and I have no other relatives, so it's normal here.” Steve replied quite frankly. He stood up and poured Howard a glass of water and patted Howard on the back.
Howard cocked his head and sniffed hard. ”Where's Peggy, isn't she here?”
Steve shook his head, went back to his seat and stuck a piece of meat with his fork. ”Now you know more than I do. You're the chief scientist in logistics, and I'm a cartoon artist. You should tell me where she is.”
The food on the table was delicious and the light in the room was warm, but Steve felt like he had never been a failure.
Howard didn't seem to notice this, and he was still cramming something into his mouth like a starving Ghost: ”there's something in my family that has been on leave for weeks. Why don't you ask Frey?”
”No, Peggy is my girlfriend. I have to know her whereabouts from others? Forget it Steve squeezed out a wry smile. Of course, he knew that the seemingly calm logistics office was actually undercurrent. He also fully understood Peggy's determination to maintain world peace.
But this is never a person's business, let alone Peggy, even he can't do it himself.
He had been thinking about who had secretly injected Peggy with anti-aging serum, whether the other party had expected such a result, and what kind of purpose he was holding.
I can't think of it. I can't think of it at all. I don't even have a clue.
Su Ming clapped his hands, put down his knife and fork, picked up the glass, and interrupted the troubled conversation: ”today is a festival. Don't talk about those things. Come and raise your glass for everyone to get together.”
Qin wine is always the quickest way to respond to the proposal of raising a glass. Almost as soon as the voice dropped, her glass appeared instantly in her hand, and she was very enthusiastic in helping to greet the guests.
”Cheers! Don't leave today if you are not drunk. Xiao Wang, go and get ten barrels of wheat wine. ”
Wang sighed. He just put down the roast suckling pig: ”ten barrels? Too much...
”we have the captain of the United States, these drinks are not enough, go quickly.” The wine winked at Wang. It was obvious that Howard had something to discuss with the death knell, so she would hold Steve back so that he would not hear what he should not hear.
The king bowed slightly and left. He got where no one could see to use magic.
The secret guest is holding a chicken leg in one hand and a wine glass in the other. She and Steve and Howard have never met and do not want to explain their identity, so it is better to be silent.
Although he can't help but laugh at the master's drunkard, he can't help but laugh.
”Cheers.”
When the gin was poured to Steve, Su Ming left Xiao Wang to take care of the dining table. He took Howard, who wiped his mouth, into the study and threw him a cigar.
”Come on, what's going on here? Have you been to Africa where there's a famine?”
Howard closed the door of the study with his backhand. He sighed and put away his disguised smile: ”if someone in Africa can save my child, then I will go. Maria gave me a son the other day, and I named him Arnold stark.”
”Shouldn't that be a good thing?” Su Ming cuts off one end of his cigar and ignites it with a lighter on his desk.
”That's the problem. Although I cracked the recorder's Potion, he still left behind. Although Arnold's life span is not a problem after birth, his genes are very unstable, which makes him extremely weak. I asked Holloway for help, but he said that Arnold would never be able to get out of bed in his life, and he needed a machine to maintain it... Slade, what should I do? Maria cries every day and doesn't eat at all. My heart will break
Howard took the cigar in his hand and sat down dejectedly on the sofa.
”So you don't eat with her?” Su Ming is also convinced by scientists' brain circuits. Hunger can't be shared.
”That's just one aspect. I've been busy looking for acquaintances these days to see if there's a way to treat children.” Howard rubbed his face, bloodstained in his eyes: ”unfortunately, after seeing the case, these people said they couldn't do anything about it.”
”In that case, what's the use of me? I'm a fighter, not a scientist. ” Su Ming stands out.
Time jewel can't help Howard, because his son is not immune anyway.As a scientist, Howard has been exposed to primordial shock gold, cosmic cube energy, nuclear weapons, new elements, and various sources of radiation. He has seen a different kind of God and lived with Nathaniel and Tesla in the alien world. These past events have hurt him a lot.
Superstition can be said that the nuclear bomb has harmed Tianhe, and the scientific point is that his own gene has been mutated under radiation, and his children are doomed to be unhealthy.
Without the recorder, the child was born stillborn; with the recorder, the child could live for 30 years; Howard modified the potion, and the child was bedridden.
There are only a few possibilities on the timeline.
Unless suming returns to Howard's birth and interrupts his hands and feet, he won't be exposed to the things that caused his genetic mutation for the rest of his life.
But Howard like that or Howard?
The impact on the world is too great to do that.
But Howard obviously didn't know the knell's ability to control time, and that's not what Howard thought.
He said earnestly, ”I know Dr. Erskine is hidden by you. Can I see him? As a scholar who developed SSS serum, he may have a way. ”
”The origin of super soldier serum is different from what you think...” Su Ming shook his head.
”Please, Slade, help the child.” Howard grabbed Su Ming's hand as if to wipe his nose with it. ”I won't tell anyone where Erskine is. Just let me meet him.”
”Oh! All right, all right, but I'm afraid things won't change. ”
He quickly pulled back his hand. Howard's moustache was covered with mucus and disgusted to death.
