Chapter 1403: Return of the Old Days (Part 2)

After a while, in a cramped and small bedroom on the second floor of the store, a long-haired girl sat on the floor, soaking wet. She had obviously just been doused with water. She glared at the two young men in front of her with hatred. Xu Shang shook his head and said, "Miss Jessica, if you hadn't gone crazy and hit us, I wouldn't have used the water spell to splash you. Are you calm now?"

Jessica said "Pooh" and shook her head hard like the female gangsters commonly seen in Hell's Kitchen, throwing her wet hair behind her ears, took a deep breath and said, "What really woke me up was not the water, but the action of you casting a spell. Monsters can't cast spells, at least not spells without dark power."

"Can you tell us what happened? We just introduced ourselves, We are superheroes from another world, and we have just arrived here not long ago. "

"Soon you will have to stay here forever." Jessica sneered and said, "You just fought with those monsters, right? Then wait, it's only a matter of time before you go crazy."

Riley and Xu Shangqi looked at each other, and Riley half-knelt down, looking directly into the eyes of Jessica who was curled up on the ground and said, "That's why we want to know what happened here, because we saved you."

"You didn't save me, I hid well, and you brought me here."

"But you can't hide there for long." Xu Shangqi emphasized: "The monsters will find you sooner or later, and there are not enough supplies to sustain life here."

"Anyway, you will go crazy sooner or later, so hiding for a while is better." Jessica revealed herself She said in self-abandonment, throwing the old shotgun aside, hugging her legs, and said: "If you must know this desperate fact, I will not hesitate to repeat it again."

"As you can see, the world is crazy, and this madness started with superheroes. Iron Man, Captain America, Spiderman, those superheroes that people often see in newspapers, all turned into monsters."

"Then it was ordinary people. A terrible and crazy infectious disease spread among the crowd. People turned into monsters one after another, and then began to wreak havoc."

"At first, the FBI and the army were still useful. They used large-scale thermal weapons to clean the ground, and then people found that the transmission route of this infectious disease was not wounds, but the spirit."

Jessica pursed her lips, With a desperate expression, he said, "As long as you see them, or even get close to them, you will gradually be infected by madness. That terrible and irresistible darkness will erode your heart and eventually turn you into a monster like them."

"When the government realized this, it was too late. Many of them had already been transformed. Yes, someone pressed the nuclear bomb button. Fortunately, their chaotic brains prevented them from dropping the big bomb in the right place, but the ocean has been polluted, as has the groundwater."

Riley and Xu Shangqi's faces became heavy, while Jessica's face was pale, and she kept muttering, "Some countries in Asia still have remnants of organizations that are fighting stubbornly, and there are still some survivors in Texas and Florida, but New York is completely finished, and you know why. "

Of course they knew that New York was the place where superheroes were most active. If superheroes were the source of infection, it would be almost impossible for anything to be left here.

"Then you..." Xu Shangqi uttered a few syllables hesitantly. He was worried that Jessica's unstable mental state would be stimulated again, so he was particularly tactful.

Jessica pursed her lips and lowered her head, revealing a bitter smile and said: "I can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. For a long time before, I was controlled by a super criminal called Purple Man. He built a mental control barrier in my brain."

"When the disaster came, he died at the hands of a superhero at the first time, but his mental control over me was not completely over, and the barrier was still there, so I relied on my talent to drive away the two monsters and hid. "

Jessica pointed to her head and said: "He is a terrible sadist who controls every part of my mind and deprives me of the ability to think independently, but this has saved my life. Because of the residual influence, the madness brought to me by the monsters cannot control the main part of the brain, so I can face those monsters directly without going crazy. "

"But you are right. "Jessica's tone revealed a hint of despair: "This is not a long-term solution. As I gradually regain consciousness, that kind of madness will sooner or later invade here, and I will become a monster like the Vendetta Alliance."

"Vendetta Alliance?" Riley repeated the word with some doubt. Jessica looked up at him, but soon retracted her gaze and muttered, "Yes, Vendetta Alliance, there may be some of your old friends in it, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor."

Riley and Xu Shangqi opened their mouths in shock. Xu Shangqi swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, Iron Man and Captain America are still human after all, I can understand, what about Thor?"

"Literally, it's the guy who walks around with a hammer." Jessica shook her head and said, "There are not many reports about him in the newspapers, and I don't know much about him. Is there anything special about him?"

Of course he is special, Riley said in his heart. He glanced at Xu Shangqi, and Xu Shangqi obviously thought so too. It seems that Jessica didn't know that Thor came from Asgard, but they both knew it.

If even the gods of Asgard fell, the enemy's strength might be beyond imagination, and they must re-evaluate the magnitude of the situation.

"How did you get to this universe? Forget it, it's useless to ask. You'd better leave quickly before you get infected." Jessica waved her hand and stood up, picked up the old shotgun again, and said, "I have special abilities, but the control of the purple man on me has prevented me from fully exerting my power. If I go crazy, I might hurt you. Get out of here quickly."

After that, she was about to go out with the gun, and Riley pulled her back, looked at her and said, "You mean, we will be infected if we face the monsters directly? But we just solved two monsters."

"Yes, one looks like a zombie, and the other looks a bit like a cobra, but with many more tentacles." Xu Shangqi described.

Jessica paused for a moment, turned her head and looked into Xu Shangqi's eyes and said, "Did you look into their eyes?"

"Of course, that zombie has at least eight eyes, I think it's hard not to see." Xu Shangqi answered honestly.

Jessica took two steps back, looking at them as if they were monsters, she shuddered, and then said, "Didn't you see it, didn't you see any terrible illusions? For example, you suddenly felt dizzy, and then saw many pairs of eyes staring at you, tentacles, mucus, and all kinds of terrible bugs?"

Seeing Jessica's pale face, Riley knew that she must be describing something she had seen before, but he showed a confused look, and when he turned to look at Xu Shangqi, he found that Xu Shangqi also looked confused.

"That's a terrible mental pollution." Jessica shook her head and said, "They will corrode your brain and drag you into the vortex bit by bit."

"Mental pollution? Where?" Xu Shangqi asked subconsciously.

"I didn't see it." Riley shrugged and said, "I was busy judging whether the spider sense was working."

Xu Shangqi recalled, then said, "I was checking the flow of qi through the endoscope and reciting the formula in my mind. You know, reviewing before the exam is very important. I don't want to recite the formula wrong when I cast the spell for the first time."

At this time, Jessica realized that the expressions of the two of them did not seem to be fake. The black-haired girl looked at them curiously and said, "Are you immune to this kind of pollution? But what is the principle? It can't be because you are visitors from another universe?"

Riley and Xu Shangqi looked at each other, and it was obvious that they thought of the same answer-maybe the pollution did not happen, but it was just a little weaker, so that they didn't feel it.

They recalled the gratitude with tears in their eyes when they saw that the monsters and zombies in this world could be touched, and the sharp contrast between the quiet horror when the terrible night in the dream universe came and the warm scene of the sun and breeze now-they almost high-fived and cheered.

Riley swallowed his saliva and slowly suppressed his excitement, but Jessica interpreted this action as worry and fear. She put the gun on her shoulder and said, "I have no intention of dragging you down, and I don't need anyone to save you. If this is the fate of this universe, I can only say, well, screw it, no more victims!"

After that, Jessica turned and walked downstairs, but Xu Shangqi stepped from the side to the stairs faster than her, blocking her way, and said, "Wait a minute, I have a plan that I have thought of a long time ago but have not yet implemented."

He glanced at Riley, and Riley certainly knew what Xu Shangqi meant, so he shrugged and said, "Okay, whatever you want, I hope we can find some survivors to enrich the inventory of our doomsday shelter."

"What are you talking about?" Jessica's eyes kept moving between the two young men, as if she was guessing their relationship, and also as if she was thinking about the relationship between herself and their plan.

But no matter what, the three of them walked out of the store window together. Human survival instinct will prevail at any time. Jessica knew that in a sense, these two people did save her. If there was a possibility that they would not be contaminated, then they really saved her.

"So, this is Hell's Kitchen?" Xu Shangqi asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Jessica stroked the barrel of the shotgun and said, "The police cars you see on the road are not for saving people, but just to suppress riots. This is the first place to get in chaos."

"If there is a safe house here that we can use, I think it must be..." Xu Shangqi turned to look at Riley. Riley remembered the story he had told Xu Shangqi about himself, and then thought about it for a while and came up with the answer: "King Bing's palace."

Hearing the familiar name, Jessica raised her eyebrows. She guessed what the two people were going to do, but she still reminded: "I must emphasize to you that in this world, whether it is a villain or a superhero, they are all monsters now."

"That scary gangster boss and his men must have turned into monsters. They have not only guns but also tentacles, and perhaps some helpers you can't imagine."

"Aren't you coming?" Riley looked at Jessica and asked with a smile.

Jessica snorted coldly, pulled the bolt hard, and then took off into the air in the slightly surprised eyes of Riley and Xu Shangqi, flew into the air, and said coldly: "I still say the same thing, fuck it!"
