On the train, Butcher, Hugh, and the others were still discussing the scene where the locomotive chased Homelander.

"That locomotive guy is a real schemer. We thought he was just running for his life, but it turns out he's pulled off something big..."

"Hey, Xiu Yi, seeing how strong the opponent is now, you must be feeling terrible, right?"

The butcher looked at Hugh and asked him a question.

How could this be...

He saved me so many times, and we're even now... he's my hero.

That guy from the train engine was really a jerk in the past; if his actions were posted online, even a piece of driftwood wouldn't be able to save him.

But now...

The fact that the other party was willing to fight the Homelander head-on for justice greatly changed Hugh's image in his mind.

……

However, the two men on the train, talking about the locomotive, were completely unaware that the soldier in the distance had already delivered a fatal blow to them.

until……

The soldier boy, carrying a triangular shield he angrily threw, smashed the windshield of the car.

It wasn't until the force of the blow, still undiminished, slammed into Kimiko's face, smashing her head open and staining the car interior crimson, that the two people who had been talking realized something in their panic.

Before their nerves could react, but their bodies had no time to act... the thrown triangular shield, carrying enormous kinetic energy, overturned the taxi they were riding in.

The taxi lurched forward out of control, skidding slowly along the ground for several meters before coming to a stop at the soldier boy's feet.

inside the car,

Hugh, his face covered in blood, stared in despair at his hands, where the virus vial he had just held was now empty!

The virus vial was knocked out of my hand during the impact!

Damn it!

Ignoring the rollover and the excruciating pain, he hurriedly looked around.

Amidst the pool of blood, he finally spotted the vial of "world-destroying virus."

A large hole was clearly visible above the mouth of the bottle!

The virus has been released!

It was released into the air!

Looking at the broken virus vial, Xiu Yi's face was filled with terror!

The virologist's warning still rings in my ears...

"Be careful, Hugh. This virus bottle is extremely evil and fragile, but the virus inside can do extremely vicious things. Once it is released, the disaster it brings will be devastating!"

It's entirely possible that he could kill all the superhumans on Earth, or even every single human being.

"We absolutely cannot allow it to spread into the atmosphere, we absolutely cannot..."

……

"Shit...! Shit!"

"The bottle is broken... Butcher, the bottle is broken!"

"Damn it, we're finished!"

Hugh clutched his head in terror, a feeling of "being the sinner of the whole world" instantly filling his entire body.

Using a virus against Homelander was a risky move to begin with. Hugh didn't initially object to it, as it was meant to stop Homelander, but...

The moment the "world-ending virus" was released into his hands, fear and regret instantly overwhelmed Xiu Yi's heart.

Did the world not perish in the hands of the homelanders, but instead perish in the hands of ourselves?

Damn it! Damn it!

Boucher, we need to remind the whole world, remind them of the spread of the virus…

Now, all Hugh can do is hope to remind people in time so that they can take refuge in advance.

Although atmospheric pollution is absolutely irreversible for humanity, ...

Saving one person is better than nothing, letting them live a little longer is a small way of making amends for our actions...

"Bucher...?"

Damn it, get to work! We're about to become the sinners of the world!

Hugh struggled to turn his head toward Butcher's direction, only to see black blood flowing from the other man's mouth and nose. No matter how he called out, he couldn't wake him up.

"B...Batchell?"

Upon seeing this, Xiu's fear intensified; was he really going to die?

The virus's effects... came on so quickly?!

"No, I don't..."

Now, trapped inside the car, unable to even send a warning to the outside world, he seems to see a world ravaged by death and a purgatory awaiting him...

"boom--"

Just then, the car door made a soft click.

The soldier boy ripped the car door off.

"Fuck you, Butcher!"

Arise, face me!

"Still pretending to be asleep?!"

The soldier boy pulled Butcher away from the main seat and looked at the other man, who was bleeding with his eyes closed, with a sense of doubt in his heart.

It was just a car accident, how could it have turned the other person into this?!

"Hey boy, the virus has broken out. It will kill everyone. You have to tell the whole world this, and you have to hurry..."

Hugh looked at the torn car door and the soldier boy who was pulling Butcher out, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope.

Ignoring the fact that the two sides were currently adversaries, they hurriedly reminded each other.

"Apocalyptic virus? A virus that can kill everyone?"

Nonsense!

You made up that word!

When I caught you, you lied and said you had a virus?

He, a soldier boy, would never believe that!

but……

I'm really sleepy today...

What's wrong? I feel so tired and exhausted. This is the first time I've felt this tired since getting the first-generation V injection...

A sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart, and he quickly looked in the car's rearview mirror.

Suddenly, blisters started appearing on my face.

"My hair, what's going on...?"

He touched his face, his expression filled with disbelief. A virus really?!

Should……

Thump—!

The soldier boy fell straight to the ground.

Inside the vehicle, Hugh was once again plunged into despair. (The virus targets superhumans; it doesn't work as quickly on ordinary people.)

Kimiko was shot in the head, the Butcher was killed, even the Soldier Boy fell, leaving only an ordinary person trapped in the car seat. Is humanity really going to end today?

……

The virus spread quietly, gradually carried further away by the circulating air.

at the same time……

Morgan searched the entire New York City, successfully located Butcher's safe house, took control of the one-legged virologist, and destroyed all the virus samples.

But at that very moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in her heart…

She turned her gaze to the virologist and quietly cast a spell using the mind magic she had learned from Wanda.

"Are you... hiding something from me? Is this all the virus here?"

Under the influence of mind magic, the virologist's eyes became glazed over, and he spoke:

"No……

Before you came, there was another vial of virus that Butcher took out for experiments…”

……

Morgan's unease intensified with the other party's reply...

Where did they go?

"The suburbs...Walter Manor..."
