Runaways tells the story of a group of rebellious second-generation teenagers who run away from home and fight against their evil parents.
The main villain of the story is Carolina's biological Father, the Gibborim Jonah.
Since he's an alien, he definitely has technology that is very special to Earth.
Besides the spaceship buried underground, there are two other technologies Samuel is very interested in, or rather, really wants.
One is called the Shrine.
It can transfer life energy. Simply put, it sacrifices one person's life to resurrect another.
However, there's a prerequisite.
The person being resurrected can be near Death or medically certified as dead in the conventional sense, but cannot be truly and completely dead.
To put it bluntly, if they just stopped breathing or their heart just stopped, that's fine.
But if they've been dead for a few days, months, or even years, forget about it.
The Shrine's resurrection method is somewhat similar to The Hand's resurrection method, except one is a technology route and the other is a mystical route.
Samuel also doesn't know the name of the other item.
But this technology can keep a dying person's body in a constant state of near-Death.
At the same time, their consciousness will enter a mental space constructed based on memories.
People from the outside can enter the other person's mental space through a certain technology and communicate with them.
He definitely wouldn't use these two things himself, but others could.
Samuel pondered while watching Carolina rummaging around, packing things.
Her parents weren't home. He didn't know if they were already dead, had turned into Zombies, or were hiding.
Before long, Carolina returned with a backpack filled with spare clothes and family photos.
"Let's go."
Samuel shrugged indifferently, "Where to next?"
"Let's go to Nicole's house. She has Wise there. If Nicole has been hiding at home, she might still be alive now."
Samuel was a little curious, "What is Wise?"
"Nicole's mother owns a technology company called Wizard. Wise is a home AI developed by Wizard Company."
Carolina explained as she pushed the door open and walked out.
Nicole's mother is the Asian female Sorcerer Tina Ren who is with Ancient One.
Samuel's impression of her, besides her being Nicole's mother.
Is in [Doctor Strange] where she held the Yuan Yi Staff and resisted Kaecilius and his followers with Wong at the Hong Kong Sanctum Sanctorum.
Who would have thought, who would have thought, that after leaving Kamar-Taj, she wouldn't be a Sorcerer and would get into technology, even developing artificial intelligence.
Home artificial intelligence is still artificial intelligence.
One of the characteristics of the rich area is that there are few people. On the streets, let alone groups of Zombies, not even a shadow of a Zombie was seen.
Ten minutes later, they arrived in Nicole's yard.
"See, I told You it's safe here."
Looking at the three-story Villa with all its doors and windows blocked by metal plates, Carolina's anticipation subtly rose.
Nicole might be inside!
"Swish!"
Samuel opened a portal directly into the Villa.
What they saw at a glance was an extremely luxurious hall, with intricate lighting fixtures emitting a cold light.
"Nicole, are You home? It's Carolina!"
Carolina shouted as she and Samuel walked through the portal.
"Swish."
The portal closed.
The empty Villa was cold and desolate, with no response.
Carolina's expression was somewhat disappointed: "Wise, is Nicole home?"
A somewhat hollow female voice rang out: "Yes, Miss Nicole is in her room."
Carolina breathed a sigh of relief, excitedly shouted "That's great!", and then, while calling Nicole's name, ran up the stairs.
Second floor, the room at the end of the corridor.
Carolina was dumbfounded when she saw the frozen room door. She tried to push the door with her hand, but it was frozen, and she instantly pulled her hand back.
"Nicole, Nicole, are You in there? I'm Carolina."
"Samuel, come quickly, there's trouble."
Carolina, in a state of helplessness, shouted while trying to listen for sounds inside the room.
No sound, no sound at all!
This made her even more anxious.
"Bang!"
Samuel, who had arrived at the door, casually shook his hand, and the room door, along with the thick Killer Frost, was directly shattered.
"Hiss—"
In an instant, the bone-chilling wind made Carolina shiver.
Immediately after, she rushed into the room, dumbfounded.
The room had clearly become a World of ice and snow. White snowflakes were strangely falling slowly from the roof of the room.
In the corner, a 'snowman' wrapped in a quilt was squatting there motionless, and next to it was a ring-shaped short staff that was almost buried by snowflakes…
"Nicole!"
Carolina rushed over to check the situation.
Fortunately, she was still breathing.
Carolina looked at Samuel for help. Samuel waved his hand, and the unconscious Nicole slowly floated up and out of the room.
"To the bathroom."
Carolina shouted, and was the first to run into the bathroom and turn on the shower.
The sound of Water splashing rang out, and the drizzling hot Water quickly made the bathroom steamy and filled with heat waves.
Samuel did not put Nicole in the bathtub. She was frozen like this, so soaking her directly in hot Water would definitely not work.
The temperature in the bathroom gradually rose. A few minutes later, Nicole seemed to regain consciousness and struggled to open her eyes.
"Carolina?"
"Nicole, You're awake. Don't worry, You'll be alright."
"Mm."
Nicole responded softly and closed her eyes again.
"She won't recover in a short time in this state. It's safe here, You stay here and accompany her. I'll go out and wander around," Samuel said to Carolina.
Carolina nodded: "I have a few more friends. If You find them still alive, be sure to help them."
Samuel knew she was talking about the other Runaways. If he encountered them, he would help them as well. After all, they were still labor.
Speaking of which, among the six Runaways, only Carolina and Nicole were the most beautiful and had the strongest abilities.
One of the remaining was a Black teenager who had no superpowers but prided himself on being smart and having leadership skills.
One relied on a tech gauntlet. The power and technical content of that gauntlet were not even as good as a palm cannon.
The other two girls, one possessed super strength, lifting cars and pulling doors was no problem, and her eyes would glow Golden when using her ability.
The other was even more bizarre. She herself had no superpowers, but she could control a genetically engineered dinosaur named Old Lace.
Although it was indeed remarkable to create a dinosaur through genetic engineering, this was the Marvel Universe, wasn't the ability to control a dinosaur a bit useless?
