213. Chapter 213 Grow up Quickly
Hal tore off the wanted poster, his face turned ugly.
"Damn it, we are obviously trying to save the world, how can they want us!"
At this moment, he felt very angry.
He felt that he was misunderstood by the whole world.
He should be treated like a superhero, not be hung on a wanted poster like a wanted criminal.
Arthur stepped forward and patted Hal on the shoulder, saying: "Get used to it, sometimes heroes are lonely."
When he was in his hometown, he often helped everyone and saved people.
But because of his extraordinary strength, he was often questioned and even attacked.
So he understood the feeling of being wronged.
Victor shook his head and said: "I can hack into their system so that the surrounding cameras can't catch me."
Hearing this, Hal immediately said excitedly: "Can you cancel the wanted poster?"
Victor glanced at Hal and said lightly: "Yes, it can, but it's meaningless. I can't make the wanted posters all over the street disappear."
After speaking, he pointed to the wanted poster in front of him.
Indeed, he could enter the cyber world to modify the wanted order, but he couldn't affect reality.
When Hal heard this, his excited eyes dimmed.
"What should I do? Am I going to be a wanted criminal for life?"
Arthur stepped forward and patted Hal on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, as long as this crisis is resolved, Superman will definitely solve this little trouble for you."
After hearing Superman, Hal's mood immediately became excited again.
"Yes, Superman also recognized me. As long as I can solve the crisis of Darkseid this time, I will definitely be appreciated by him, and it is not impossible to join the Avengers."
Thinking of this, Hal immediately urged everyone to leave quickly.
Because Victor modified the camera, they were not discovered after entering the New York city.
They first came to a breakfast shop without any obstacles.
Although the population of the United States has dropped sharply and trade has almost been cut off, fewer people means less food consumption.
So relying on the previous stockpiling, the people of the United States can still maintain their previous living habits.
"Dingling..."
As the door was pushed open, a doorbell rang.
Zhao Hao and the other four walked into the breakfast shop and found that many people were drinking coffee and eating bread.
Everyone just glanced at the arrival of Zhao Hao and the other four, and then continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Seeing this, Hal came to the bar cautiously and said, "Four breads and coffee."
Looking at that look, he really looked guilty.
The bartender glanced at Hal and said lightly, "Twenty dollars..."
After paying the money and taking the breakfast, Hal returned to his seat a little excitedly.
"They didn't find me, Victor, you are great."
Seeing the other party's appearance, the other three shook their heads helplessly.
This guy was afraid that others didn't know that they had problems, and he showed it so obviously.
When they finished breakfast and were about to leave, a "dingling..." sounded at the door.
Two policemen walked in.
One black and one white, they are typical police partners.
Seeing the police appear, Hal was immediately shocked and his face showed obvious panic.
This immediately attracted the attention of the black policeman.
Originally, they just came here to have breakfast, but there was obviously a group of people who were not good people here, so they naturally would not let go of the possible credit.
At this moment, Zhao Hao stood up and turned to look at the fat policeman.
"Valmir, long time no see."
Yes, he was the partner who took Zhao Hao on patrol when he just crossed over.
To be honest, Zhao Hao was also very surprised to meet him here.
Unexpectedly, this guy with the title of "Unkillable Policeman" actually survived so many disasters, and it seems that he has become a middle-level member of the police.
And those police officers who are far more talented and capable than Valmir, he has not seen a single one survive until now.
Sure enough, as long as you survive, there is a future and hope.
When Valmir saw Zhao Hao, he first showed a puzzled look, and then a look of disbelief appeared.
"Zhao... Officer Zhao!?"
When Zhao Hao left Texas, he was already a superintendent, and his memory was still at that time.
But didn't the other party destroy Raccoon City and become a public enemy of the world?
Why is he still here?
By the way, the wanted notice was later withdrawn, and no one said he was a butcher anymore.
I have to say that Valmir is indeed a man of the way. When he saw Zhao Hao, he did not think of calling the police, but how to please him.
"I didn't expect you to be alive. That's great. I haven't seen you for a long time..."
After saying that, he went forward and hugged Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao naturally knew the other party's character, but he didn't care. Instead, he chatted with him.
Seeing this, Hal and others beside him also looked at each other.
"I didn't expect Zhao had good friends before."
"It's a close call. I thought we were exposed."
"Since we know each other, it seems that there is no need to fight."
After a while, Zhao Hao pulled Valmir and the other party's partner to sit on the seat together and continued to chat.
"Why did you come to New York?"
"I was transferred here because there is a shortage of manpower here. What about you, why are you here?"
In fact, what Valmir wanted to ask was, why did Zhao Hao appear again? Shouldn't he hide?
But he didn't ask because he was afraid of irritating him.
Zhao Hao just smiled when he heard the question.
"I am a police officer again."
Yes, everything seems to have returned to the starting point, but everything is different again.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked up slightly, but lowered his head again.
No, his strength is still too low now. He can't be discovered by his intentions, and he can't even think about it.
The stronger he is, the more he understands the gap between himself and those beings.
Even if what he thinks in his heart may be seen at any time.
So the only way is not to think about it, let everything pass peacefully like this.
Because his only advantage is that he has no future and past.
Those beings can't see him from the future, nor can they erase their past selves.
Growth is his only way now.
Valmir was surprised when he heard that Zhao Hao was a police officer again.
He didn't expect that the other party could still enter the police system.
After chatting for a while, Valmir ate bread and coffee and wanted to leave.
But at this time, there were bursts of air defense alarms.
"Woo woo woo..."
Hearing the alarm, all the guests in the store hid under the table.
The air defense alarm sounded, indicating a threat from the sky.
Unlike earthquakes, what people need to worry about most at this time is the possibility of bombing from the sky.
The safest way is to hide in the building, not to run to the open space.
Even Zhao Hao, Valmir and his partner hid.
Only Hal, Arthur and Victor looked at each other for a few times and then ran outside.
Watching them leave, Zhao Hao wanted to call them, but finally gave up.
Because in his perception, hundreds of thousands of demons appeared outside at this time.
It is obvious that Steppenwolf has cultivated a large number of demons on the blue planet.
Unlike the Justice League, this is after the end of the world, with countless resources and open space, which can be used by Steppenwolf at will.
So it is normal for the other party to cultivate more demons.
Why didn't he want to participate in the Mother Box, but still went with Hal and the others?
That's because he wanted to protect Blue Star and humans.
Although he usually showed that he didn't care about Blue Star, it was actually more for those beings to see.
In his heart, he still cared about humans and Blue Star.
Otherwise, he would not have preferred to bear the infamy and directly destroy Raccoon City.
If Hal and the others go out now, they might be overwhelmed by the demons.
After thinking about it, he gave an order to the system far away in the Alkali Lake Base to activate 10,000 sentinel robots to come to support.
As for whether they can make it in time, let it be left to fate.
But there are Superman and Doctor Strange, so we can't be so pessimistic.
Next, Zhao Hao quietly hid in the breakfast shop, and the battles outside continued to appear.
Those demons are all biochemical soldiers like Thanos's Dark Cult, and they have the characteristics of not fearing death.
So no matter what kind of combat power Hal and the other three burst out, facing almost endless demons, they can only be exhausted to death.
Fortunately, Superman appeared soon.
Under the sweep of Superman's thermal vision, the demons died at a rate of hundreds per second.
Then Doctor Strange appeared with the magic army.
As for the army of the United States, they could only hide in the barracks for defense and did not dare to move out.
"Boom..."
After the battle lasted for half an hour, Zhao Hao's 10,000 sentinel robots finally arrived and began to fight with the demons.
The battle lasted for seven or eight hours until the afternoon.
Until the sun was about to set, hundreds of thousands of demons did not capture New York in the end, but left hundreds of thousands of corpses and fled.
From beginning to end, Steppenwolf did not appear.
This is a common war in cosmic wars.
After all, the other party can keep creating demons, so how could they fight in person.
As the sun set, the air defense alarm stopped, and the people in the breakfast shop slowly climbed out of the basement.
Yes, just now when they saw that the battle would not end for a while, everyone ran to the basement.
After coming outside, I saw that the road had been dyed green and red.
Green is the blood of demons, and red is the blood of humans.
And a large number of houses collapsed, and countless corpses were on the ground.
"What kind of monsters are these? Why do they appear so often recently?"
"Yes, and there are more and more of them every time. Do you think there is a nest where these monsters are hatched?"
"Even if it is, so what? The wild is now a world of monsters, and we can't find them one by one."
"Alas, I don't know how long we can survive."
"Maybe there will be more next time, and we may not be able to defend it."
Everyone talked about it, and they were all full of pessimism.
But soon they went home to see how their relatives were doing.
After saying hello, Valmir also left with his partner.
But Zhao Hao didn't know where to go at this time.
Home? He didn't have a home here.
Relatives? Although Lu Xue counted, the other party had more national and ethnic justice in his heart.
Just when he was at a loss, Hal and the other two came over with wounds all over their bodies, supporting each other.
"Haha, I knew Zhao was still waiting for us here, let's go."
Seeing Hal's scars, but still smiling, Zhao Hao smiled.
But he soon returned to a cold expression.
Because he knew that all this was just a chessboard.
Yes, it was all a chessboard.
The other party was just a chess piece of others, a chess piece that had no choice.
And he was a chess piece trying to jump out of the chessboard.
His biggest obstacle was strength, and there was also bondage.
In countless anime and movies, people would describe bondage as a way for people to gain strength and become stronger.
But he knew that bondage was just a concern in people's hearts.
And with concern, there is a weakness, which can be used by the chess player.
Only by cutting off the bond can you not be affected by the chess player.
"Where to go?"
Hearing the question, Hal smiled slightly, but soon showed a painful expression.
"Hiss...Victor, can you be gentler? It hurts me."
It turned out that Victor had just straightened his body, which made Hal's arm on him hurt even more.
"Sorry..."
After apologizing, Victor lowered his body again.
But judging from the exposed wires on his body, he was actually not feeling well.
In fact, not only them, but even the strongest Aquaman, the tattoos on his body were almost invisible.
Instead, there were small wounds.
After Hal recovered his breath, he continued: "In order to thank us for our efforts in dealing with the demons, Superman invited us to the Avengers Building.
You can't imagine that we met Superman again, and Superman recognized me.
This time he invited us over, he must want us to join the Avengers.
When the time comes, get rid of all the wanted orders, haha..."
Looking at the confident and narcissistic Hal, Zhao Hao could only shake his head helplessly, and then walked over.
"Let's go."
...
In the Avengers Building.
At this time, Superman was sitting in the main seat, looking at the people around him with a serious face.
"The number of demons that attacked this time is almost a million. We can't let things go on like this. We must take the initiative to attack.
Who knows how many demons there will be next time!"
The New Avengers did not have many people. There were originally more than a dozen people, but after this battle, there are only seven people left.
They are Ant-Man, Wasp, Venom, Moonlight Knight, Black Lightning, Blue Devil, and Doctor Strange.
It can be said that they are already the most powerful superheroes left on Blue Star.
But at this time, they are all scarred and full of fatigue.
"Clark, I think the most important thing for us now is to heal and rest well."
"Yes, we are all very tired, and so many companions have died..."
"When will this day end?"
"Blue Star is getting more and more dangerous."
Superman ignored everyone's complaints and looked at Doctor Strange who had been lowering his head.
"What do you say?"
It doesn't matter whether others agree or not. After all, their strength is just like that and can't affect the overall situation at all.
The only thing that concerned him was this wizard.
Facing Superman's question, Doctor Strange raised his head and said calmly: "We must find him..." (End of this chapter)
