Chapter 2179 Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-seven)

During the conversation, Penguin and Peter learned that this guy named Gonzalez often graffitied on the street where the Enderkin case occurred. Their group was a typical street kid.

Gonzalez drove Penguin to their base, Hell's Kitchen in Brooklyn.

Looking at the familiar architectural style, Penguin felt a little relieved. This is a very typical chaotic neighborhood where various gangs are entrenched.

This is not a slum, because most of the black assets of the intricate gang forces make this place not poor, but rather a prosperous scene, which is somewhat similar to the community where Penguin was born.

"Aren't you going to do anything?" Peter asked, "Just let them chase you like this, you know they won't stop."

The Penguin's face darkened. In the bumpy ride of the car, he thought a lot and finally summed it up in one sentence, "I will make them pay the price."

"It doesn't sound easy." Peter turned his head back and said, "If you want to do something, do it as soon as possible. I can stay here for a while to protect your safety as a reward for you avoiding a lot of trouble for the two cities of New York and Gotham. But time is limited, and I have to go back to work."

Now it was the Penguin's turn to look at him. He kept looking at Peter's expression, as if he was weighing the value of the promise.

Even if the Penguin thought Spider-Man was a naive and reckless boy, he had to admit that Spider-Man was indeed very powerful, and according to his previous investigation, the spider mutation gave him a very keen sense of danger, which was a natural bodyguard skill.

In fact, compared with Spider-Man's force, Penguin valued this guy more because he was a local in New York. From the fact that he could find Penguin's location and walked through the slums to come to him, it can be seen that he grew up in such an environment. Even if he can't be said to be like a fish in water, he certainly knows this place better than an outsider like him.

Now he wants to turn over, he can only take the gangster route again and start over. The local who leads the way is very important. It must be admitted that Spider-Man's character is very reassuring. As long as he promises, he will definitely do it.

Penguin found that when he thought of this, he would have a subtle emotion. His heart was no longer heavy and falling down, but like sinking into some kind of liquid, being wrapped and soaked, and then floating up, and finally felt the whole chest opening outward.

This emotion is very strange, because Penguin has never felt it, so he can't say what it feels like. If you have to analyze where it comes from, it is probably because Penguin has never met a teammate who makes him feel at ease before.

Especially when Penguin climbed up the gang step by step, even if he had a short-term partner, he would eventually turn against him, so he would never pin his hopes on anyone else.

Because he had never experienced the benefits of having someone to help him, he would not feel helpless. Over time, it became normal for him to complete all his work with all his heart and soul.

But now, as long as he thought of Spider-Man by his side, Penguin had a very bad premonition in his mind, and the next second he thought that at least he would not die.

What followed was a kind of excitement. Penguin's style of doing things in this life was to be cautious and hesitant, and he never knew what it meant to let go, because he was more afraid of death than failure. If someone could guarantee his life safety, he could finally experience the pleasure of letting go.

Penguin couldn't wait.

When following Gonzalez and Penguin into the depths of Hell's Kitchen, Peter fell behind the team and asked Bruce in the headset: "I still don't understand why we should help Penguin?"

Peter has his own scale in his heart. He knows that Penguin is not a good person. No matter how much childhood trauma he has, the evil he has committed should be judged.

Trust in Batman made him accept this plan, but he still didn't know Bruce's purpose, but Bruce on the other end of the headset just smiled and said: "I just asked you to see how he got into trouble."

Peter didn't understand, and Bruce stopped talking, and Peter followed Penguin all the time.

On the first day of arriving here, he encountered a wave of attacks. Peter now has no spider sense, but Bruce inexplicably got the information of the attacker, so Peter pretended that the spider sense was ringing, notified Penguin to hide, and helped him avoid danger.

Finding that with the help of Spider-Man, there is no worry about his life, and Penguin knows that his chance to let go has come.

Penguin, who had just arrived at Hell's Kitchen, found that this was indeed a good place. No wonder Kingpin could make a fortune here.

The most special thing is that this place is not entirely the territory of the gangs. It can be said that all kinds of people are mixed here, including gangs, civilians, police, vendors, rich people, poor people, people who live a life of ease, and people who have fun.

Looking at the high-rise buildings in Manhattan from afar, there are more opportunities for people at the bottom to climb up than there. In the case that their lives are not threatened, it is simply a paradise for speculators.

Penguin was rubbing his hands and planning to make a big splash here, but he didn't expect that a group of people would come to him soon.

Penguin saw a few familiar faces among the group, the ones who welcomed him at the hospital gate that day, and even a security guard in the escort car.

Penguin soon learned that these were basically residents nearby. The street where Enderkin had the accident was not far from here, and many of them witnessed the tragedy.

Penguin welcomed their arrival because he understood what the biggest dilemma he was facing now was, he had no team.

The Penguin of Earth No. 1 no longer had a gang, otherwise he would not have only raised a killer named Birthday Boy to assassinate political enemies. Although the safe house left behind in the early years has not changed, the residents around him have changed, and no one recognizes him at all.

The Penguin of the main universe replaced the Penguin of Earth No. 1, but he couldn't move his team down from the sky island in the sky. Not to mention how troublesome it would be to move so many people, his gang went to this fusion new city with a completely different terrain, and they were still in the dark. It would be better to use these local snakes.

It is not easy to work your way up from the bottom of the gang. Penguin's current situation does not allow him to do so. It is better to directly pull this group of people to form a team, establish a solid base, and continue to expand his influence. One month is enough for him to return to politics and participate in the election.

Penguin thinks there is nothing wrong with his plan, and Peter thinks so too. He really doesn't see how Penguin looks like he is going to be unlucky.

It was really smooth at the beginning. Everyone kept praising Penguin and said they were willing to provide him with help to the best of their ability. Many people stayed to help Penguin and Gonzalez transform their bases, and some used their positions to patrol around to keep dangerous elements away.

About six or seven people stayed in Gonzalez's cabin. Peter knew that it was a bit impolite to give people nicknames, but before he knew their names, he could only call them short-haired girl, tattooed man, big wave, black sister, peaked cap and game boy.

These people are very distinctive. The short-haired girl is a vegetarian who advocates environmental and animal protection. The tattooed guy likes Gothic culture and has Gothic tattoos all over his body. The big wave is a transgender. The black lady weighs about 250 pounds. The cap does community service in the nearby community. The game boy is a die-hard fan of shooting games.

Peter always feels that something is wrong, but he can't tell what it is. After all, what kind of ideology and hobbies they have have nothing to do with him.

He also knows similar people in school. Whether they are animal protectionists who use Saturdays and Sundays to catch stray animals for sterilization or follow the expedition team into the mountains to protect wild animals, or vegetarians who don't eat meat for religious or other reasons, Peter gets along well with them.

Tattoos or transgender are nothing. New Jersey is a blue state after all, relatively open. Peter has seen many such people. It is even worse to be picky about others' appearance and hobbies. He will not have any prejudice against others because of these attributes.

Penguin was eager to do something big, and without saying anything, he immediately began to arrange tasks. He said: "This cabin is in a good location in Hell's Kitchen. It is close to the center and has convenient transportation, but it is far away from the territory of those big gangs."

"But considering my current situation, we still have to take some defensive measures. Gonzalez got us two scrapped cars. We can use the cars to block the back door, and then make some simple alarms made of cans and hang them on the door."

"I hope some people will work with me, and the other part will contact my supporters. We need more people to complete these things."

"Wait a minute, I have a question." Big Wave stretched out his index finger and thumb, drew two fingers in front of him and said: "Mr. Mayor, you plan to participate in your next election here "

Just as the Penguin was about to speak, Peter heard Bruce's instructions in the headset, so he stepped forward and said, "Yes, our mayor has decided to stand with us. He will not go to those hypocritical politicians to play witty tricks and smile at them, but they should come to us."

"Wow! So cool!"

"That's how it should be! I said I didn't make a mistake!"

"Awesome mayor! Oh!"

Several people cheered immediately, and the short-haired girl waved her fist vigorously and said, "Yes, that's right, they should come to listen to us, we are the masters of this country, aren't we?"

The tattooed man clasped his hands inward, kept pointing at his feet and shaking back and forth, making rap gestures, snapped his fingers at the short-haired girl, and then pointed at her, meaning that you are right.

"Well, I mean..."

The Penguin wanted to speak, but the others ignored him at all. He thought, how is this possible? The city government is not owned by his family. All candidates must go to a designated location to wait for the voting results to be announced. How can he participate in the election here?

"We should shoot all those broken rules and blow up those people's heads to show them how powerful we are. I'm really fed up. They stand on the stage like clowns, oh, oh..."

The game boy pressed his headphones and rapped incomprehensible words. The man in the baseball cap lowered his hat brim, crossed his arms and said nothing.

"Hey, that guy, why don't you say anything?" Big Wave turned his head and looked at the baseball cap and said, "I think you should agree with our mayor's great idea, don't you? I think what we say is very reasonable, why can't they listen to us?"

The man in the baseball cap raised his eyes and looked at Big Wave gloomily. Big Wave was startled by his eyes, and then he seemed to be angry and his voice was so high that it even had a male tone.

"I will sue you for sexual harassment! You damn bastard! Why do you look at me like that?! Are you looking at my breasts or my butt? That's what you can't have! Idiot!"

"Alright! Alright! Stop arguing!"

The Penguin sighed and said, "Those who stay here to work stand on the left, and those who go out to contact others stand on the right. You can choose for yourself."

A group of people walked around in a scattered manner, almost half of them on each side. The Penguin just felt a little relieved, and the short-haired girl who was leading the left side raised a finger and said.

"Oh, sorry, I'm standing here not to say that I want to stay and work, I just like the left side more. I think people with better communication skills should go out to inform other partners of the good news, right?"

After saying that, she kept scanning the baseball cap with her eyes, and the big wave next to her nodded vigorously, took a step to the left and said, "That's right, our team will go out, and the others will stay. That's it."
