《裸者与死者(The Naked and the Dead)》(也被称作军团要塞连载漫画 #6)是于2017年1月10日发布的一部漫画。该漫画是7章连载漫画中的倒数第 2 章,在剧情上承接《旧伤残痕》。

故事梗概

漫画以宝琳小姐的幻觉开始,当时她被经典之队的吸血机器人攻击后由于失血过多而昏迷。她在沙漠中醒来,面前有一扇若隐若现的门,走了进去。门的后面是管理员的控制室。在一段交流后,宝琳小姐对管理员承认了没能找到澳元素的失败,并询问管理员真正想要的是什么;但是,她突然就被医生给救回来了。医生把从机器人中抽走的血液放回了宝琳小姐的身体内,并用相似的办法救下士兵。当宝琳小姐询问医生是如何做到的时候,爆破手看上来正努力战斗摧毁剩下的机器人,医生说机器人被爆破手的高酒精量的血液给弱化了。在爆破手的幻觉中,他成功地重新分配了他的器官,从生命所需的血液中提取出了酒精,甚至肝脏也恢复了调和力。

Meanwhile, the Classic Mercenaries confront TFC Heavy about how they will receive their payment after he killed Gray Mann. TFC Heavy angrily persuades them that the Life-Extender device was worth going without pay, but the TFC Engineer is reluctant to agree. Frustrated, TFC Heavy commands the TFC Engineer to reactivate the rest of Gray's Robots to kill the current mercenaries, and he complies.

The comic cuts back to the original group, with Scout and Heavy parachuting down to Miss Pauling. As Scout hugs Pauling, Medic reveals that she should no longer be hugged as the action squeezes some of the replaced blood out of her eyes. Heavy greets his sister Zhanna, but is surprised that she had lost a hand, and then gets annoyed at the realization that she is engaged to Soldier, and they plan to have children. Scout reveals to Pauling about the discovery of the Australium being stolen, and that Saxton Hale and his partner Maggie were on the island as well, presumably having jumped off the plane at the same time as him and Heavy. However, upon turning around, they are rudely interrupted by a hoard of reactivated Gray Mann robots approaching and Saxton Hale and Maggie nowhere to be seen.

The comic cuts to Saxton Hale and Maggie in Hale's plane, too engrossed with reminiscing over their past adventures to follow Scout and Heavy, who had jumped off an hour ago. After their pilot Jerry notifies them that they are out of fuel, Hale and Mags drop Mann Co. ammunition and weapon crates to the mercenaries below, before jumping from the plane (along with Jerry) to aid them in fighting the robots. Unfortunately, TFC Sniper is watching the battle and preparing to shoot Heavy, before a knock at the door from the TFC Engineer distracts him. TFC Engineer claims that TFC Heavy has ordered him to pull back, while outside, Sniper is standing outside the door and ready to ambush his TFC counterpart. However, TFC Sniper shoots TFC Engineer in the knee, revealing that his best friend, the TFC Engineer, had already replaced his original eyeballs with mechanical ones that saw past the disguise. Sniper runs to another room, breaks the window and climbs around the building's exterior naked, while the Spy distracts TFC Sniper by asking him for a cigarette as a final request. This buys enough time for Sniper to enter a window, take TFC Sniper's rifle, and kill TFC Sniper with a headshot without any hesitation. Spy and Sniper share a moment to mock each other over their shared rivalry.

Back at the battleground, Demoman takes cover while Medic stitches up a wound in his leg. It is revealed that Demoman has a cursed eye socket which causes any replacement eye the Medic gives him to mutate on Halloween night, attacking the team in various ways. To prevent Demoman from questioning him, Medic also reveals that he had removed the part of Demoman's brain which remembers the events. After promptly forgetting the recent events, Demoman walks away, giving TFC heavy an opportunity to threaten Medic into placing the Life-Extender device into him. Medic instead attacks him with his Ubersaw, but fails to kill him. Heavy attempts to save Medic, but TFC Heavy shoots Medic fatally with a Pistol. Enraged, Heavy attacks him.

The comic moves to TFC Soldier and TFC Scout in a weapons storage room, discussing the present nature of events. TFC Scout points out the futility of the situation, noting that TFC Heavy has gone insane, they are losing the battle, and the money they have accumulated has not bought them happiness. TFC Scout reminds TFC Soldier of the dream they shared to own an orphanage, but soon discovers they have been somehow coated in gasoline as the Pyro reveals his presence.

Outside, Scout and Ms. Pauling fight off robots, noting the absence of Spy and Pyro, until the loud explosion behind them from Pyro's attack indicates otherwise. They subsequently notice Soldier and Zhanna, who have inexplicably stripped down and covered themselves with honey to fight the robots, prompting Scout to retreat to somewhere "less naked". Saxton Hale and Maggie likewise fight off robots, albeit with their clothes on.

The comic cuts to a more violent side as Heavy, in a burst of outrage, starts brutally beating TFC Heavy, despite TFC heavy's efforts to negotiate his way through. As Heavy starts to finish the job and states that he doesn't care if he has an immortality machine; TFC heavy killed his friend the Medic. TFC Heavy suddenly recovers, revealing that he simply pushed the immortality machine into his body, which was apparently enough for it to work.

The comic takes a shift as Sniper and Spy come across some dead Spy-bots. Spy remarks on Sniper's nudity, but refuses to lend Sniper his expensive suit, and both come across a drastic discovery: Scout is close to death. Not knowing what to do, Spy disguises himself as Tom Jones and gives Scout his dream passing. Spy reveals that he is in fact Scout's father, and he tried to avoid Scout for 27 years, and he regrets that entirely. He is finally overall proud of what he believes Scout had become, as Scout peacefully passes away.

The comic cuts to black and comes back to Scout, who is now in Heaven. God (or at least Scout's interpretation of him) begins to lavish praises on Scout, but when he realizes that Scout is still a virgin, he decides to destroy all of humanity until Scout talks him into an alternative - to send him back to the world of the living until his time comes. In reality, Sniper and Spy discuss what to do with Scout's body, but discover that Scout has revived, much to Sniper's reassurance and Spy's horrified disgust.

Zhanna and Soldier prepare for another wave of robots. Soldier asks Zhanna for another jar of honey, but to their surprise, there is none. Instead, Zhanna finds gasoline and both of them consider lighting themselves on fire whilst fight the mass. This is cut short as Miss Pauling's phone starts to ring and Zhanna lifts her from underneath a pile of robot corpses. The person on the other end of the line is Engineer, whom states that he is with the Administrator and he asks for what's left of the Australium, to which Miss Pauling says there is none. She requests to talk to the Administrator, but Engineer explains that the Administrator has died and puts down the phone, promising to ask the Administrator to call back. Zhanna approaches Ms. Pauling to ask her who she was talking to, and Ms. Pauling admits the truth of the matter: she was talking with her boss over something her boss had planned for her whole life, but Ms. Pauling has "screwed it all up". Zhanna reassures her that the team will help, finally acknowledging Ms. Pauling as a part of the team and apologizes for the suspicion she regarded Ms. Pauling with. However, Zhanna warns Ms. Pauling to stay away from Soldier, who has been listening in and joins Zhanna in insinuating that Ms. Pauling was taking advantage of Soldier's nudity. Angry, Ms. Pauling is about to complain until she realizes that Sniper, still naked, has walked onto the scene, with Spy supporting Scout.

As TFC Heavy continues to beat up Heavy, Medic's soul is in Hell, having signed a contract with the Devil years prior. The Devil prepares to send Medic to Hell for eternity as per the terms of the contract, but Medic points out a clause written into it: he can only go to Hell if the Devil owns a majority of his soul, and reveals that he had additional souls (taken from his teammates) surgically grafted into himself, leaving the Devil with no claim. Medic negotiates with the Devil, asking to be allowed to return to Earth for an amount of time, enough for the Devil to claim his other eight souls. The Devil eventually agrees, and lets Medic trade one of his souls for the Devil's pen.

In the realm of the living, TFC Heavy prepares to kill Heavy, but is distracted by the Medic, who has revived and is holding the Devil's modified pen. Medic claims that the pen has been modified to instantly induce labor in the TFC Heavy, and cause the baboon fetuses developing inside the surgically grafted uterus to fully mature, tearing TFC Heavy apart from the inside. Stunned, TFC Heavy calls Medic's bluff, which Medic confirms - the entire exchange was a distraction for Heavy to rip out the immortality machine from TFC Heavy's abdomen, killing him. Heavy and Medic reunite. Medic reveals that while the pen was a fake, he has the actual device in his medical kit, which he then activates.

As the last of the robots are destroyed, Ms. Pauling despairs over the destroyed immortality machine, realizing that all possible sources of Australium on Earth have now been lost. In his dying moments, TFC Heavy expresses his bewilderment that his team lost, given the superiority of the Classic mercenaries. Ms. Pauling admits that she has no idea, but boldly declares that it doesn't matter: her team was victorious. Scowling, TFC Heavy dies, and Spy and Ms. Pauling share a moment over her giving a speech to a dying man before he passed away.

Elsewhere, the Administrator's immortality machine jumpstarts, reviving her. Engineer reveals that she has four hours before she dies again, and confirms that besides the small vial of Australium he's holding on for her, all global supplies of Australium have been exhausted. In denial and frustration, the Administrator punches the glass window, before calming down and asking Engineer to escort her to her private room. Handing her the vial, Engineer points out that she could still live for six months on her current supply, at which the Administrator brings up her vendetta. Engineer asks about her "old debt", pointing out that he'd never asked her in the long time his family had worked for her, and expresses his sympathy that the Administrator did not get to settle her debt before death, suggesting that she let go.

The Administrator acknowledges that she has been carrying her "debt" for a long time, since she was a child - and now she is nearing the end of her life, she has decided to end everything while "looking her best". The remark causes Engineer to realize that the Administrator has consumed all of the Australium to restore her age to that of a young woman; horrified, the Engineer exclaims that the Administrator's reckless usage has left her with only an hour to live at best. With her eyes glowing from the effect of the element, the Administrator claims that she has more than enough time left, and promises to "end this, once and for all".

注释

剧情衔接
  • 在本篇漫画中,格雷·曼恩的生命延长装置总体上完好无损,且其内的澳元素也都依然保存着(直到被TFC机枪手消耗);然而,在前篇漫画《旧伤残痕》的第 19 页中,TFC机枪手直接拔出了装有澳元素的容器,而这理应摧毁装置的剩余部分而无法运作。
名称揭晓
  • 以下两个雇佣兵的真名首次揭晓:
    • 间谍在伪装成汤姆·琼斯时称侦察兵为“杰里米(Jeremy)”。
    • “恶魔”称医生为“路德维希先生(Mr. Ludwig)”,一个常见的德国名。

  • TFC狙击手尽管声称他的眼睛能够看透一切(甚至他自己的眼皮),他没能看到在房间外埋伏与奔跑的狙击手。
第 80 页
  • 狙击手在TFC狙击手之前坐下的地方拾取了武器,但所用的他原配的狙击步枪,而非TFC狙击手那把带有蓝色瞄准镜的墨黑色步枪。
第 125 页
  • TFC士兵TFC侦察兵为格雷格(Greg)。在前作中,当医生表示他给格雷格装了三个狒狒子宫时,TFC爆破手惊恐万分(寒狱之行第 71 页),而这表明他也叫格雷格。
第 256 页
  • 詹娜戴着她的耳朵项链,而其中一个耳朵似乎是从机器人身上拆下来的。
  • 医生搂着一只包裹好的狒狒宝宝,这表明他的又一次医学实践取得了成功——用感应器促进先前“装”在TFC佣兵身体里的狒狒子宫分娩,同时也交代了TFC机枪手的命运。

细枝末节

  • SMG同时也是一把侦察兵的未使用武器。
第 88 页
  • 爆破手正在畅饮一瓶过氧化氢,然而,过氧化氢仅在用水高度稀释后(每瓶最多含3%)才可少量引用,否则会导致胃部剧痛与起泡。
第 155 页
  • 间谍提到他的西装衬衫是“路易斯蟹步(Louis Crabbemarché)”品牌的定制产品。
    • “Louis”致敬了法国的服装设计品牌路易威登(Louis Vuitton)
    • “Crabbemarché”可翻译为“螃蟹市场(crab market)”,但如果移除第二个“b”以及最后一个“e”的尖音符,法语中的“crabe marche”则可字面翻译为“螃蟹行走(crab walking)”,而这致敬了间谍蟹的梗。
第 161 到 172 以及 183 页
  • 此处的场景有力地支持了间谍是侦察兵的生父这一猜想
    • 间谍满怀柔情地伪装成了侦察兵的偶像汤姆·琼斯以让侦察兵“心满意足地离开”。而在伪装中他首次喊出了侦察兵的真名,并在侦察兵失去意识前称他为“儿子”。
    • 当侦察兵说他的父亲是汤姆·琼斯时,“上帝”最初满脸疑惑地表示怀疑,但又立马改口表示肯定,隐瞒了侦察兵真正生父的身份。
