Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

“Don’t let his efforts go to waste!” Pietro interrupted.

Finally, Wanda's reluctant gaze slowly shifted away, and the two, using the ruins and undergrowth as cover, crawled on the ground and entered the jungle.

Wanda took one last look and bit her lip.

"You must come back..."

Chapter 75 Mountains and Forests

Feeling the twins gradually disappear into the distance, Lin Nan finally felt relieved. He did not switch to his impact form, but instead used his wing form to approach the two commanders!

Bullets kept whizzing past. Without heavy weapons, Lin Nan could only give them 50 out of 100.

The armored vehicle, glowing faintly, moved swiftly through the ruins, drawing zigzag lines in the grass as it rapidly approached.

Lin Nan could even see the shocked and fearful expressions on the faces of the two commanders.

The two officers reacted quickly, drawing their sidearms to fire. Lin Nan did not dodge, but instead grabbed the two commanders by the neck, barely half a meter above the ground, and headed in the opposite direction from Wanda and Lin Nan.

The leaderless Hydra descended into chaos; without a commander, they were left without a leader.

A few seconds later, someone took over command and issued orders.

"The commander has been captured! In pursuit!"

The roar echoed through the empty ruins, and a dozen Hydra soldiers gave chase.

Lin Nan moved at a moderate pace, keeping a distance in front of them.

After running for about two kilometers, Lin Nan knocked out the two commanders and threw them into the bushes, then used this opportunity to locate Wanda.

Just as he was about to leave and chase after them, suddenly!

Lin Nan sensed a chilling killing intent coming from the right front. His body reacted faster than his brain. Almost the instant he sensed it, he made a desperate dodge to the left.

At the same time, a blue energy beam silently grazed past where he had just been, striking a half-broken concrete wall behind him. Strange spatial fluctuations were emitted, and the wall vanished instantly.

It's another one of those special energy weapons derived from the Cosmic Cube!

A murderous intent surged within Lin Nan, and the instant he successfully dodged, his senses locked onto the source of the attack.

Right behind him, on the pile of ore! A sniper wearing optical camouflage was adjusting his gun, looking for a second chance.

Lin Nan flashed a cold light, and his wings of light fully unfolded, his speed soaring, leaving an afterimage in the air that was hard to distinguish from reality.

The sniper clearly hadn't expected Lin Nan to not only not flee, but to dare charge head-on, especially given the armor's incredible speed, which sent shivers down his spine.

He raised his gun and fired two hastily, but neither hit its mark; both shots missed.

In just over a second, Lin Nan had already rushed above the ore team, and with a thought, switched to physical impact mode.

“Ze Ze Zezte!!”

"Impact!"

The plasma wings on his back disappeared, and the impact form instantly covered his entire body, the armor exuding an explosive sense of power!

With a powerful push of his right leg, he shattered the rocks beneath his feet. His body moved like a cannonball, his right fist burning with crimson energy, and he slammed it into the base of the ore pile, much to the sniper's horror.

boom!!

A muffled, explosive roar erupted, and this violent, pure force caused the entire rock pile to collapse.

With that punch, the pile of rocks several meters high exploded, and large and small pieces of ore poured down, completely burying the sniper!

Hydra reinforcements arrived again from behind, but their formation was clearly somewhat scattered in the face of this armored man who could shatter a pile of ore with a single punch.

Dust and smoke rose all around, reducing visibility. Lin Nan switched back to his wing form and sped off toward the edge of the mine and the rear camp.

Like a ghost, he used the complex terrain and dust to shake off all his pursuers with a few leaps and bounds, circled around, and finally returned to the dead forest.

Wanda and Pietro, in their perception, had not moved very far.

The twins were found hiding in a dense thicket of bushes.

Lin Nan glided silently to their vicinity, and Wanda suddenly raised her head the moment he appeared.

A pair of deep brown eyes, seeing him appear unharmed before them, burst forth with surprise and relief. She bit her lip, wanting to say something, but ultimately nodded without saying anything more.

Pietro's gaze was more complex; the wariness in his eyes had largely transformed into concern and agreement.

"The pursuers have been held back for now, but we must leave immediately. Pietro, can you hold on?"

Pietro nodded, his silver hair fluttering in the wind. His face did not lose any charm because of the pain; on the contrary, it gained a maturity far beyond his years.

Lin Nan continued as before, carrying Wanda and Pietro on her back, traversing through the mountains and forests.

This time, no pursuers came. This time, Lin Nan could feel Wanda in his arms, her gaze occasionally falling on him.

When she thought Lin Nan wasn't paying attention, she would secretly raise her head, glance at him quickly, and then look away into the distance.

Pietro, on his back, clearly noticed this as well, and frowned as if Wanda's behavior was more serious than his leg injury.

After flying close to the ground for an unknown amount of time, Lin Nan came across an abandoned hunter's hut.

The cabin was dilapidated and almost completely covered by vines and weeds, but the structure was still intact, and one could rest there for a while.

Pietro and Wanda haven't eaten all night, and their bodies are weak from long-term human experimentation. They need a place to rest and recuperate.

Lin Nan sensed his surroundings and found no signs of large carnivores. He flew in through the window and deactivated his armor.

The moment Lin Nan made contact with the armor, he felt Wanda's rapid heartbeat and warm body temperature.

He put the two of them down and asked with concern, "Wanda, are you alright? Did you catch a cold?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched his forehead, feeling a slight burning sensation.

"Your temperature is a little high..."

“It’s okay, I’m fine, I don’t have a fever…” Wanda quickly interrupted.

Seeing that she seemed to be in pretty good spirits, Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to her and subconsciously began to observe the interior of the wooden house.

There was only a rotten little wooden bed and a few broken boxes piled in the corner, nothing else.

"The conditions aren't great, but make do for now. You all rest here, and keep the door closed so the wild animals don't get in," Lin Nan instructed.

Wanda looked up abruptly: "Where are you going?"

His voice was tense, and his delicate, deep-set eyebrows furrowed slightly, filled with worry.

Lin Nan smiled slightly: "I'm going out to find something to eat. I'll be back soon. Take good care of Pietro."

As he spoke, his hand unconsciously touched Wanda's fluffy, messy little head.

Wanda, who was initially a little nervous, instantly relaxed and nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"

Seemingly realizing that his words were somewhat ambiguous, he hurriedly shook his head: "Let's go! Let's go!"

Lin Nan found it somewhat amusing and her mood improved: "Okay, then I'm leaving."

"it is good!"

Wanda's gaze followed Lin Nan's retreating figure until he disappeared from sight, her eyes gentle, lost in thought.

With a snap!

Pietro snapped his fingers, bringing Wanda back to reality.

"Wanda! Stop looking, let's go!"

Wanda snapped out of her daze and stammered, "I didn't see him! I really didn't see him!"

Pietro sighed and glanced helplessly at his sister's flushed face.

The brother and sister fell silent. After a short while, Lin Nan came in from outside, carrying in a few wild fruits and a large honeycomb overflowing with honey, wrapped in leaves, and placed it in front of the two of them.

Chapter 76 Companionship

Lin Nan handed the items to the two of them and checked Pietro's wound.

Thankfully, if an ordinary person were stabbed in like that by scrap metal, they might very well get tetanus.

Nevertheless, we cannot be complacent; if Pietro can develop into a star, he will be of great value.

Good treatment conditions are still necessary because Lin Nan cannot place his hopes on Pietro's own healing abilities, since he only has a general understanding of the siblings' abilities.

If his legs are crippled, Quicksilver will become a slow iron.

Try to contact Tony. With his help, things will be much easier, both in terms of identity and resources.

Wanda took a piece of fruit and handed it to Lin Nan: "Here, you eat first."

Lin Nan looked up at her. Wanda's face was slightly flushed, her eyes were bright, and her messy hair covered half of her face, but it still couldn't hide her cuteness.

He smiled, took it and put it in his mouth, sat in front of the door and leaned against it with his back, and said, "We're safe for now. Once I figure out how to get you out of the country, that's when we'll part ways."

Pietro and Wanda paused simultaneously, exchanged a glance, and said nothing.

The three fell silent again. After a long while, Wanda finally spoke, "Can we...go with you?"

Lin Nan was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm. He frowned slightly and said cautiously, "Coming with me... isn't out of the question, but we need to think about how to arrange things..."

Hearing that Lin Nan didn't refuse outright, Wanda relaxed, a smile bloomed on her face, and she opened her big mouth and took a big bite of the wild fruit.

It doesn't taste very good; it's quite sour and astringent.

But Wanda still ate with relish. She looked at her brother and then at Lin Nan, her heart overflowing with a long-lost sense of happiness and satisfaction.

After so many years, I finally feel like I have family. It's so nice, but I wonder if what I'm doing will cause him trouble.

"What...can I do for you?"

Hearing the girl's soft voice, Lin Nan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Wanda, I won't force you to do anything. You just need to be yourself."
