《超能陆战队》第19章

In order to optimize¹ Baymax's scan range, he and Hiro flew up to the top of a tall wind turbine that overlooked the city.

Hiro couldn't stop thinking of their amazing flight. "Wow. That was ... that was ... "

"Sick," Baymax finished his sentence.

Hiro looked at him in surprise. "It is just an expression," Baymax said.

The boy couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, that's right, buddy²."

The view from the top of the wind turbine was stunning³. They could see the whole city and even parts beyond the bay that surrounded it.

Hiro sighed at the beauty. "I am never taking a bus again."

Baymax turned to Hiro and blinked. "Your emotional state has improved."

Hiro frowned, surprised by the comment.

"I can deactivate⁴ if you say you are satisfied with your care."

"What? No, I don't want you to deactivate!" Hiro exclaimed. "We still have to find that guy. So fire up that super sensor⁵."

New lenses dropped over Baymax's eyes.He scanned the entire city, gathering⁶ readings on hundreds of thousands of people and eliminating those that didn't match Yokai's profile."Functionality improved. One thousand percent increase in range," Baymax said. "But there is no match in San Fransokyo."

Hiro was disappointed for a moment, then—

"I have found a match on that island." Baymax pointed⁷ to the bay. Hiro looked up at Baymax's digital medical readout. It was blinking match.

"Akuma Island!" Hiro exclaimed.

That night, they all jumped on Baymax's back. He deployed⁸ his red carbon-fiber wings. He wasn't used to the weight of the whole team on his back and wobbled a bit as he took off.

"Killer⁹ view," Go Go commented, as if she spent every day skimming the water of the bay on the back of a robot.

"Yeah," Wasabi agreed, his voice wavering slightly. "If I wasn't terrified of heights, I'd probably love this. But I'm terrified of heights, so I don't love it."

Fred was his usual over-eager self. "I can't believe this. We're going to bring an evil doer to justice! In cool outfits¹⁰! I mean, we're superheroes!"

His statement made Wasabi frown. "We're not superheroes," he corrected Fred. "We're nerds."

Flying only inches above the water, they got closer to Akuma Island. Hiro found an empty stretch of land. "There, Baymax. Take us in."

The robot turned and landed near a group of military-type buildings.

"Awesome¹¹!" Fred said. "Our first landing as a team!"

Everyone scrambled¹² to their feet. "Guys, come on," Hiro called, leading them toward a concrete bunker.

But Wasabi was staring at a sign on a nearby fence. "Quarantine? Do you know what ‘quarantine' means?" he asked in a trembling voice.

Baymax turned and said, "Quarantine: enforced isolation¹³ to prevent the spread of contamination."

Wasabi rolled his eyes and threw his hands up. "I know what it means!" he shouted. "Tell them!"

They ignored Wasabi and approached a large steel door. "Be ready," Hiro whispered. "He could be anywhere."

Just then, a twig¹⁴ snapped behind them!

Instantly, they spun¹⁵ around and unleashed¹⁶ their weapons. Honey threw a dozen chem-balls, while Fred shot a huge breath of fire. Go Go threw one of her discs, and Hiro ducked out of the way. Wasabi windmilled his laser blades, and Baymax struck a karate¹⁷ pose.

"Did I get it?" Wasabi cried.

As the smoke cleared, the team looked into the haze¹⁸ and saw a seagull staring back at them.It shook its head and flew off into the night.

"Well, there goes the element of surprise," Go Go said, picking up the discs she'd thrown.

"Well, at least we know our gear works," Honey declared as Baymax reached over to extinguish a fire on Hiro's helmet with his fingers.

Wasabi stepped up and cut through the door with his laser blades. The team hesitated for a moment. They knew once they stepped inside, the game was on. They peeked¹⁹ in and saw a stairwell that led down into blackness.

 

为了优化大白的扫描范围，他和小宏飞到了一座风力发电涡轮机的顶端，那里可以俯瞰整座城市。

小宏不停地想表达他对这次神奇飞行的看法：“哇哦！那真是……那真是……”

“酷毙了，”大白帮他把话说完整。

小宏惊讶地看着他。“这只是种措辞方式。”大白说道。

这个男孩忍不住笑起来：“是的，没错，伙计。”

从风力发电涡轮机上往下看风景好极了。他们能够看到整座城市，甚至能看到海湾外围绕着它的地方。

小宏对着美景感叹道：“我以后再也不坐公交车了。”

大白转向小宏眨了眨眼睛：“你的情绪状态有所改善了。”

小宏皱起眉头，对这样的评价感到吃惊。

“如果你说对我本次护理感到满意，我就可以待机了。”

“什么？不，我不想让你待机！”小宏惊呼道。“我们还要去找那个家伙。开始运行那台超级探测装置吧。

新镜片滑落到大白的眼睛上。他扫描了整座城市，读取了成千上万人的身体数据，并且删除了那些和妖怪不匹配的数据。“功能升级。扫描范围增加十倍。”大白说道，“但是在旧金山没有发现与其匹配的人。”

小宏一阵失意，突然……

“我发现了一个与之匹配的人在那个岛上。”大白指着海湾那边说道。小宏看了看大白身上的电子医疗读取器，上面闪现着匹配。

“是恶魔岛！”小宏惊叫道。

当晚，他们都跳上了大白的背。大白展开了他红色的碳纤维翅膀，他还没习惯团队所有人的重量都压在他身上，所以起飞时有些摇晃。

“视野真棒，”神行御姐评价道，就好像她每天都骑着机器人飞行划过海湾的水面似的。

“是啊，”芥末无疆赞同道，他的声音有些颤抖。“如果我不恐高，我可能会爱上这个。但是我恐高，所以我不喜欢这个。”

弗雷德还是像平常一样亢奋。“我简直不能相信这一切。我们将要把为恶者正法！穿着超酷的盔甲！我是说，我们是超级英雄！”

他的说法让芥末无疆皱起了眉头。“我们不是超级英雄，”他纠正弗雷德道，“我们是书呆子。”

他们在距离水面只有几英寸的高度飞行着，逐渐接近了恶魔岛。小宏发现了一片空地。“那里，大白，带我们进去。”

机器人转过方向并降落在一个类似军事建筑群的附近。

“太棒了！”弗雷德说道。“我们超能陆战队第一次着陆。”

所有人挣扎着站了起来。“伙计们，走吧。”小宏喊道，带领着他们朝一处混凝土的地垒走去。

可是芥末无疆盯着旁边篱笆上的一处标记。“隔离区？你们谁知道‘隔离区’是什么意思吗？”他用颤抖的声音问道。

大白转过来说道：“隔离区：强制隔离污染物以防止传播。”

芥末无疆转动着眼睛举起双手。“我知道这是什么意思了！”他大喊道，“我是为了告诉他们！”

大家没有理会芥末无疆所说的话，慢慢靠近一扇巨大的钢铁门。“准备好，”小宏低声说道，“他随时可能出现。”

突然，他们身后的树枝啪的一声断了！

他们瞬间就转过身来，放出他们的武器：哈妮柠檬扔出了一大堆化学球；弗雷德喷射出了一束巨大的火焰；神行御姐扔出了一片飞盘，小宏躲了起来；芥末无疆旋风般挥舞着他的激光刀；大白则摆出了空手道的招式。

“我击中了吗？”芥末无疆大声喊道。

当烟雾散去，陆战队的队员们看到薄雾里有一只海鸥正回视着他们。它摇了摇头，飞入夜色之中。

“好啦，虚惊一场，”神行御姐边说边捡回了她刚刚扔出去的飞盘。

“至少知道了咱们的装备是管用的。”在哈妮柠檬说的同时大白越过她，用手扑灭了小宏头盔上的火。

芥末无疆走上前，用激光刀把门切割开了。陆战队员犹豫了一下，因为他们知道只要他们迈进了这扇门，游戏就开始了。他们向里看了一下，只看到了一条通往黑暗处的楼梯。
