Chapter 120 The Hero Arrives
New New York City Times Square Center
After Link gave a comforting speech through [Voice of Walter], the citizens of New York City were obviously relieved a lot, at least not as panicked as before.
After all, the authority of Superman's words is more convincing to the people than the half-baked and irrelevant federal government.
Times Square, which used to be bustling in the past, also has a vague flow of people and has regained some hustle and bustle.
There is a lot of traffic, people coming and going, mobile vendors on the street,
What is even more eye-catching is a steel sculpture standing in the center of Times Square in New York.
Tall figure, majestic shoulders, muscles full of power and explosiveness,
The figure with golden proportions, the texture evoked by the meticulously carved battle suit, the handsome and tough face, and the burning eyes. The diamond-shaped frame on the chest of the suit is the "S" standard that symbolizes hope, and the slightly undulating cloak on the back...
There is no doubt that it is the beloved mayor of New York City, the true superhero, Superman-Kal-El,
That's Link's sculpture.
It was just completed not long ago. Tourists and pedestrians passing by would stop and look at this steel body from time to time.
From time to time, we would talk to each other, sighing at the shock and impact brought by the sculpture.
Of course, taking into account that not every viewer has sufficient qualities to match, the sculpture is surrounded by a symbolic fence.
People are also used to taking photos and recording photos under this new New York City landmark building.
until today,
Today is a special day,
The crowd surrounding the Superman sculpture is not small.
But a figure wrapped his body under a hoodie, lowered his head, and hurriedly walked towards the direction of the crowd,
That is, under the Superman sculpture,
He looked impatient and casually pushed away pedestrians blocking the way.
Just when this grumpy man turned his head angrily and was about to give this ungrateful guy a little lesson,
But suddenly he met those red eyes, as if they were boiling lava,
A suffocating feeling, like a python wrapping around him, swept over his heart.
At the same time, he couldn't help but recall the relevant entries and notes about "explosion attackers" mentioned by [Voice of Walter] in his mind.
He couldn't help but scream, and he took a few steps back, bumping into some people around him, which also caused a lot of dissatisfaction. The fried chicken and fries he was holding also rolled to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?"
Pressured by the man's retreating body, the pedestrians behind also started to protest.
But the man didn't respond. He just pointed with some excitement and madness. He stood motionless with a smile on his lips.
"He He……!"
"What's wrong with him? Hey, man, tell me if you were so high at home today that you still haven't woken up when you go out."
On the side, a young man dressed in fancy hippie clothes was whistling.
He got closer to the figure that was still standing there, motionless,
"Don't... don't get close to him!"
"what are you talking about……"
The young man turned his head and looked puzzledly at the onlookers who were as far away as men.
At this moment, the sun is just right, and the light cast by the sun above our head happens to be opposite to this young man.
Through the shadow cast by the sun, the young man can see,
The figure behind him stooped, and then twisted and swayed his limbs, as if enduring some great pain.
Accompanied by the crisp crackling sound of bones and the gradually rising temperature of the surrounding environment,
The young man who looked cynical just now became completely panicked, and a flash of disbelief flashed across his face.
The figure on the ground also swelled more and more, gradually bursting through the hoodie from its originally thin body, and the temperature became higher and higher.
The "lucky young man" slowly twisted his neck, praying silently in his heart that everything he saw was an illusion and was just a result of his own eyesight. This must be some damn program crew doing outdoor pranks!
But the answer is no, and the reality is cruel.
His whole body was red, with tumor-like muscle bulges protruding from his body.
An ugly face that makes people feel physically nauseated, red eyes, blood-red tentacles that are still growing and swaying on the back, and a twisted figure with a faint red light appearing in front of him.
"Weird...monster!"
The young man suddenly collapsed on the ground. In front of him, this demon-like existence made his legs tremble. He wanted to lie down on the ground, stand up and run away.
But I never thought that due to being too nervous, my legs temporarily lost feeling. They were as stiff as if they had been filled with cement, and they could not move at all.
"Damn it! Gift Crab!"
He looked up and his eyes for help kept scanning the crowds around the venue who were also panic-stricken and screaming.
But no one will lend a helping hand to him,
The bustling center of Times Square in New York City was once again shrouded in an atmosphere of fear and solemnity.
Screams, physical fights, and various chaotic events intertwined,
The young man closest to the monster, with two lines of tears on his face, seemed to have met his own death.
With both feet on the ground, a fiery aura continued to spread from the body surface, like a demon descending here, opening its bloody mouth, looking up to the sky and roaring,
This is a brand-new integrated entity composed of the vampires and the Extremis virus. To be precise, it is a biological weapon.
Compared with the "side effects" caused by the crude use of the Extremis virus, self-destruction,
The single method of causing damage, combined with the deep combination of the vampires with combat effectiveness, produced some unexpected mutations.
"Bloodburner"
The reason why the "Blood Burners" were released in Times Square was not only to attack the already fragmented authority of the federal government, but
It is also to provoke those "superheroes" who claim to be righteous and are also the most troublesome.
The young man who was paralyzed on the ground raised his head in fear, his eyes full of panic.
At this moment, the young man was praying in his heart, praying for the existence that could save his life to come.
Unconsciously, his eyes glanced at the Superman sculpture standing nearby.
If only Superman could be here, he would be able to save himself!
Help me, help me!
"Blood Burner" raised the blood-red bone blade proliferated and extended by the arm, with hot liquid material flowing in the gaps.
It opened its mouth in excitement, suddenly raised its bone blade, and then chopped off its head.
Just as the sharp bone blade is about to fall,
The young man closed his eyes, waiting for death to come,
But after a while, the expected pain did not come.
He opened his eyes blankly,
But he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him with a smile on his face. He raised his hand and gently pinched the terrifying blood-red bone blade with two fingers.
"Super...Superman!"
"It's really you!"
Link just responded with a wave of his hand, signaling to leave as soon as possible, and the young man immediately rolled away and crawled to the ground, and was about to fall into the battlefield...
