American Comics: I Drew Superman During the Great Depression

Chapter 249 Farce (1/2)

Bang, bang, bang--

It's the same world, on the train back from San Francisco to New York.

Colin opened his eyes, and the noise in his ears swarmed.

"Did you find him?"

"I haven't seen it yet, maybe it's in front..."

"Be careful, don't get discovered."

"Dad, I'm hungry."

"Be patient a little longer, and we'll go find something to eat when we get off the train..."

"How many more?"

"I don't know. It may take another day. New York is really as good as you say. I'm afraid..."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? If I have to die, I would rather die in a big city than in an unknown town."

Raise your eyebrows and draw your attention slightly.

The noisy sounds around the train began to become simpler, and the various chaotic sounds that were originally mixed together were eliminated bit by bit, leaving only the part that Colin wanted to hear most.

"...Are you sure Nash will get on this train?"

"Of course, the news of Nash's arrest has spread all over Hot Springs City. I heard that the FBI people waited for several weeks before taking action. Many local gangs saw the arrest."

"Okay, what are you doing in Hot Springs City?"

"I heard that we are going on honeymoon."

"again?"

"How many honeymoons is this for him?"

"I don't know, maybe five or six times..."

"How did he do it? I mean get married. As far as I know, he has been married many times."

"God knows, maybe this is the charm of fbijelly (Jelly Bean). Even the guy in prison will be deceived by his sweet words, allowing him to find a chance to escape, let alone a woman, let alone in this world as long as you have Money, lots of women will surround you.”

"Then why don't I have a woman?"

"Do you have money?"

"..."

"Do you have that Nash guy who can talk?"

"..."

"But don't be too discouraged. After this is done, we will have money. Then you can find anyone you want."

"You have a point!"

"Hot Springs? Nash?"

In another carriage, Colin put away his [super hearing] ability with a thoughtful look on his face.

Hot Springs was a favorite resort for gangsters in this era, including Charlie Luciano, who had met Colin before and was finally arrested in Hot Springs.

Hot Springs is famous for its hot springs. Initially, the Indians discovered that the spring water had healing properties and called it "holy water," and then they became American.

Because of the mixed personnel, various informants were also placed in the hot spring city.

The so-called 'Nash' in the mouth of the people on the train should be the unlucky guy who accidentally fell under the FBI's radar in Hot Springs City.

However, from the conversation between this group of people, it is clear that this 'Nash' is not a low-key existence. The other party dared to continue to do evil after escaping from prison, and even went to Hot Spring City to get married and have a honeymoon. It was obvious that he did not put the FBI people in In eyes.

Of course, the same was true for the three guys on the train. From their verbal conversations, Colin had obviously heard Iron Gate's plan.

Obviously, they had received the news in advance that the FBI and state police would escort 'Nash' onto the train.

The purpose of these people's trip is to rescue 'Nash'.

A huge 'train robbery' is about to begin, but except for Colin, most of the passengers on the train are unaware of it.

"Coming..."

"Be prepared!"

At 8:30 in the morning, the train pulled into the station.

Colin clearly felt that several guys on the train became a little more excited.

Looking out the window of the carriage, I saw several policemen who were obviously dressed in special clothes pressing a handcuffed man onto the train.

"Be honest, Nash!"

He grabbed the man's arm with one hand and forced him to walk in front. Behind him, two state troopers wearing hats put their hands on their waists and looked at the passengers on the train with vigilance.

After passing Colin's seat, the FBI next to the state policeman looked at Colin for a few seconds, glanced at the suitcase in his hand, and cautiously moved closer to Nash in front of him. Finally, the group of four Under Colin's gaze, he came to the window seat in front of the carriage and sat down, and the direction where Nash was sitting happened to be diagonally opposite Colin's direction.

"Sit tight!"

After sitting down under the rough threats of the state police, Nash turned his head and looked at the passengers in the car.

The vast majority of passengers avoided looking at Nash when they faced him. Obviously, the handcuffs on Nash's wrists and the police around him proved his identity, which was unusual. They only took the train to live, and there was no need to interact with this kind of people. People get entangled.

Sensing the fear in the eyes of the passengers around him, Nash had a look of disdain on his face. He glanced aimlessly at the passengers around him, and soon made eye contact with Colin who was diagonally across from him.

However, to Nash's expectation, the guy opposite was not scared or flinched by his eyes. Instead, he looked at him calmly.

Seeing this, Nash raised his eyebrows, and then showed a provocative expression to Colin.

"Be honest with me, Nash!"

However, before Nash could take any further action, the state trooper opposite him scolded him, and at the same time, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the FBI beside him.

Sending out the FBI to arrest criminals is not an honorable thing for state police like them, especially criminals like Nash. His arrest represents the incompetence of the police, because Nash came from their state. Escaped from prison.

Retracting his gaze from Colin, Nash turned to look at the state trooper in front of him. Although the other person had an angry expression on his face, Nash did not feel the slightest fear because of this. Instead, he looked at him unwillingly and looked at him at the same time. He said with a provocative face: "You can catch I am here just because of luck. If it weren’t for those damn FBI, you bastards wouldn’t even be able to catch me. Even if you put me in jail, I won’t stay there for the rest of my life. Sooner or later, I’ll be gone. What comes out is just like before..."

"When the time comes, I will find you and come back with revenge one by one."

Nash's attitude is extremely arrogant, but he also has the ability to be arrogant.

As a repeat offender, Nash's criminal experience is extremely rich. He participated in the war twice and received a reduced sentence due to his honor as a World War I veteran. Later, he was arrested and sentenced to 25 years for breaking into a house and using a bomb to blow up a safe. Later, President Wilson left office. A previous pardon allowed him to be released from prison, but then he was wanted by the federal government and sentenced to 25 years for robbing a postal train.

When Nash escaped from prison again, it coincided with the onset of the Great Depression. Relying on his "talented" background, Nash thrived during the Great Depression. According to federal statistics, Nash was involved in more than 200 bank robberies, most of which were bank robberies. It was committed during the Great Depression. It was not until recently that his whereabouts were exposed during a honeymoon in Hot Springs, and he was successfully arrested by the FBI.

It can be said that this is a complete asshole.

"Only if you can come out of prison again!"

Two state troopers responded with sneers to Nash's threats.

Based on the evidence of the crime Nash has committed so far, as long as he enters the prison, what awaits him is a long prison life. And because of the huge crime, he will be specially detained inside the prison. He will not be found in the previous prison period. He was allowed to work part-time as a cook. the possibility of workers escaping.

Nash obviously knew this too, so the look on his face wasn't a good one.

While Nash was confronting the state police officer responsible for escorting him, Colin's [super hearing] had already detected the movements of a group of three people in other cars.

At first, Colin thought they would have a detailed plan, or arrange to carry out operations secretly at a certain stage.

However, the three people's method of rescuing people was much simpler and cruder than Colin originally expected.

I saw, amidst the exclamations of everyone in other carriages, three people with submachine guns rushed to the carriage where Nash was.

"Hands up, don't move!"

Looking at Nash sitting in the corner of the car, they raised their pistols and shouted at the FBI and state police without hesitation. Seeing the appearance of the three people, especially a familiar face among them, Nash's face suddenly showed smile.

Facing these unexpected guys, the FBI and state police in the car also reacted quickly and fought back with guns.

Bang bang bang——

However, the men with guns reacted faster than them and pulled the trigger almost subconsciously.

Suddenly, gunshots and screams rang out on the train.

"Be careful, don't beat me to death too!"

Vaguely, Colin seemed to hear Nash's panicked shouts.

Obviously, he didn't expect that these guys who came to save him were so fierce. They didn't even do the most basic test before they started a firefight.

The fierce firepower instantly shattered everything in the carriage like a hornet's nest.

"Dad, dad..."

In the chaos, a lost child was crying and looking for his father in the carriage.

"careful!"

He reached out and pulled the child to his side. The stray bullet that hit the roof of the car left a clear mark on Colin's body.

Snap!

Under the boy's gaze, the stray bullet hit the ground with a crisp sound, and Colin raised his finger at him and hissed softly.

Seeing this, the boy nodded subconsciously and stared at the part where Colin was hit by the bullet without blinking.

"They are all dead, let's go..."

This sudden shooting incident ended as quickly as it happened.

When the three people who fired the shots reacted and approached, the four people in the corner of the carriage were already lying there motionless.

Seeing Nash lying there covered in blood and motionless, several people shook their heads and immediately turned around and fled from the scene.

As early as the gun battle broke out, the train stopped, which also created an opportunity for the three people to escape.

Watching the three people leave, Colin turned his head and glanced at Nash, who had eyes wide open in the car and was speechless for some reason.

Or, Nash never thought that he was not killed by the police's gun, but fell by the bullet that came to save his partner.

If he knew this, he might not want these people to take action. At least he could still live well in prison if they didn't take action.

"Miller, Miller!"

Just as Colin was looking at the first crime scene, a man's exclamation suddenly came from behind the carriage.

"I'm here, Dad!"

Hearing his father's familiar voice, the little boy who was covered by Colin's eyes shouted loudly.

Following the shout, an excited man ran over and hugged the boy tightly in his arms.

"Thank you, thank you... thank you... sir, if it weren't for you... I... I..."

Holding the child, the man looked at Colin in front of him and thanked him incoherently.

"You're welcome, sir, this is what I should do."

To be honest, although he heard that someone was going to take action on the train, he didn't expect that this group of people would be so simple and direct.

When they heard it on the train, they looked like they had a plan in mind.

As a result, they opened fire in a blink of an eye, regardless of the life or death of the target Nash.

In this case, why do you have to take action and spend time and effort to wait on the train? If Nash is put in prison, he may live longer.

If Colin had not heard their plan on the train and knew that the purpose of several people was to save people rather than kill people, he might have really regarded the scene in front of him as a simple revenge.

"There are still people alive!"

Just when Colin was speechless, several brave passengers approached the place where the bullets were fired and found that there were policemen who were not killed by the gunfire.

Amid his shouting, the railway police on the train quickly rushed over and gave emergency rescue to the surviving state police.

Under the previous round of firepower, the state police reacted quickly and fell down at the first time.

Although he also suffered some damage from the bullets, fortunately, he was not hit in his fatal parts, so he survived the attack by chance and became the only survivor of this "train prisoner hijacking" incident.

"Dad, I just saw the bullet hit that gentleman..."

In the chaos, the boy who was carried back to his seat by the man took out the crushed stray bullet in his hand and whispered to his father.

"Then it bounced to the ground again."

Looking down at the bullet in the boy's hand, the man looked at Colin not far away absentmindedly. From the other person's appearance, there was no sign of injury.

"I suspect that he is the legendary Superman."

Raising the crushed bullet in his hand, the boy said in an admiring tone.

"Yes, he is Superman!"

The man tightened his arms around the child. Obviously, he did not believe the child's words about blocking the bullet. After all, reality is not a cartoon. How could there be someone who is not afraid of the power of bullets? He just regarded this as an illusion in the child's confusion and echoed it.

However, this did not affect his gratitude to Colin.

For him, Colin was indeed like Superman, saving his child.
