Chapter 569 Smuggling
early morning.
Most people in the city on Earth are still dreaming, and almost when the first ray of sunlight penetrates the curtains and shines on his face, Eric opens his heavy eyelids.
The tip of his nose was filled with a faint fragrance, which was the sleeping beauty who was still sleeping beside him. Reven lay on his side, his white body shrank in the bedding, and his head snuggled in his arms unconsciously. Eric sat up, and saw her sweet appearance and couldn't help but move slightly, leaning over to kiss her cheek. Reven had not yet woken up, but moaned vaguely, revealing a cute and sweet smile.
Eric felt a little nervous and couldn't help himself. He shook his head and shook his distracting thoughts, got out of bed as quietly as possible, put on his clothes and left the bedroom.
He couldn't remember how it finally unfolded last night. Raven came to the watchtower in the evening. The two of them ate something and found an old movie to watch in the evening. Finally... well, he couldn't remember it in the end, but it seemed very wonderful.
Eric came to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror on the toilet. Through the mirror, he saw a young man with messy hair and listless hair, and he thought this guy even looked a little ridiculous.
Today is the tenth day after being hit by an omega ray, and the situation seems to be worse than the previous nine days. Eric doesn't know how many days he has left to live, but every good moment he has with Riven seems to have become torture. He can feel the girl's wholehearted efforts and her love, but he can't be responsible for her, because he can't say how long he has to let go.
He was not afraid of death itself, but he was tortured when he thought of Revan.
I don't know how long I stood in front of the sink, maybe an hour - or maybe only a few minutes, until Riven walked in silently. She stood quietly at the door in a wide nightgown, without making any noise to disturb her.
He never mentioned Omega to Riven, but no matter how he tried to pretend to be nothing in front of her, he could not hide his body's deterioration. Riven undoubtedly discovered something, but as long as he didn't say it, she wouldn't ask, and it has always been like this.
Eric took a deep breath, turned around, and smiled: "Good morning, didn't you wake me up?"
Ruiwen smiled and shook his head: "No, I just woke up."
Eric walked to the window and looked at the golden lights from the other side of the blue planet, saying, "Today looks like another good day."
He took off the toothbrush and toothpaste from the toilet bowl and was unscrewing the toothpaste cap, but his hand couldn't help but shake, and the whole piece of toothpaste slid down from his fingertips.
Eric's heart was thrilled, but he saw that the falling toothpaste did not fall to the ground, but was dragged by a ball of purple light and was strangely fixed in the air.
Ruiwen walked up to take the toothpaste and toothbrush, patiently applied it to him, and filled it with a glass of water. He felt as if a young mother was taking care of an innocent child, and then tilted her head and said, "I can help you."
Eric's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly took it from her and said, "Ah haha, I just thought about things, my hand slipped for a while...I'm fine, haha." Imagine how Riven brushed his teeth... The scene was so beautiful.
Reven stepped aside, stopped talking, and began to wash himself. But even if both of them didn't say it, his heart was like a mirror - with Eric's current reflex nerve, how could "distracted hand slip" occur? This is a sign that the erosion of the omega effect has put his body on the limit.
The atmosphere became subtly heavy, and the two of them didn't talk for a while until Eric's Justice League liaison rang.
Eric took out the contactor, glanced at the screen, snorted with foamy mouth, and said vaguely: "These guys are really busy. I've asked me to go for such trivial matters."
"What's the matter?" Ruiwen asked.
"The slightly larger international smuggling group." Eric said at all, "It's neither an alien invasion nor apocalypse, it sounds like I'm not my dish."
After a meal, he turned to say, "But I have nothing to do when I stay here. I might as well just take a look. Do you have time to go and have a walk with me after breakfast?"
Raven nodded: "Yes."
So the two quickly settled the breakfast and then headed straight for the mission goal.
According to the mission instructions issued by the alliance, this was just a raid against the smuggling group. Batman had clues about their base in Brazil and there was evidence that a batch of important goods were shipped from Gotham to Brazil, but the specific cargo was still unknown.
Generally speaking, this kind of task is not Eric's turn to deal with, but the rest of the league has been a little busy these days, and only he is still free, so he has to come.
According to the mission instructions, the two found the stronghold in Brazil without much effort. To be honest, it was really not difficult. The so-called smuggling gang armed a coastal warehouse to their teeth. Outside, there were gangsters on guard with guns everywhere, just like they were afraid that they wouldn't know there were ghosts here.
The raid was calm and there was nothing to say. The general process was that the two of them landed in a swagger. The gangsters panicked and showed their guns to expose fire. At worst, they could still use two grenades or something. However, for Eric, the power was only tickling. Riven raised his arm and commanded several empty containers to fly up on their own, smashing them heavily between the gangsters. The gangsters immediately became honest and expressed their willingness to surrender.
The whole process lasted only three or five minutes from the two of them landing until the last gangster seized the gun. If this is compared to a game, the difficulty will definitely be super simple.
"Okay, let's see what good things you all stole from Gotham."
Eric said, using the green light emitted by the simulated green light ring to transform into a huge palm, holding a transport box to him, and then the green light changed into the shape of a hydraulic shear, and cut the lock with a "click".
The cargo box door was opened with a "squeaking" and Eric and Revan got in together. Revan moved his finger and uncovered a layer of cloth covering the goods out of thin air, revealing several neatly stacked metal boxes.
