After a while, in a cramped and small bedroom on the second floor of the store, a long-haired girl was sitting on the floor soaked to the skin. She had obviously been doused with water. She stared at the person in front of her with hateful eyes.
The two young men, Xu Shangqi, shook his head and said: "Miss Jessica, if you hadn't gone crazy and hit us, I wouldn't have used the water trick to throw it at you. Can you calm down now?"
Jessica made a "poof" sound, just like the common female gangsters in Hell's Kitchen. She shook her head vigorously, threw her wet hair behind her ears, took a deep breath and said: "Really wake me up"
It's not the water, it's the action you take to cast the spell. Monsters can't cast spells, at least they can't create spells without dark power."
"Can you tell us what's going on? We have just introduced ourselves. We are superheroes from another world. 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? Just wait, your madness will only happen sooner or later."
Riley and Xu Shangqi looked at each other. Riley half knelt down, looked directly into the eyes of Jessica who was curled up on the ground and said, "That's why we want to know more about what happened here, for the sake of saving you."
superior."
"You didn't save me. I hid well, but you brought me here."
"But you won't be able to hide there for long." Xu Shangqi emphasized: "Sooner or later, the monster will find you, and there are not enough living supplies here."
"You're going to go crazy sooner or later anyway, just hide away for a while." Jessica said self-destructively. She threw the old-fashioned shotgun aside, hugged her legs, and said, "If you must know this desperate
If it’s true, I won’t hesitate to repeat them.”
"As you can see, the world is crazy, and this madness started with superheroes. Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, those superheroes that people often see in newspapers, have all turned into monsters."
"Then came the ordinary people, and a terrible crazy infectious disease spread among the crowd. People turned into monsters one after another, and then began to wreak havoc."
"The FBI and the military were somewhat useful at first. They used large-scale thermal weapons to clean the ground. Then people discovered that the transmission route of this infectious disease was not wounds, but the spirit."
Jessica pursed her lips, showing a desperate expression and said: "As long as you see them, or even approach them, you will gradually be infected by madness, and that terrible and irresistible darkness will erode your heart, and eventually
Turn you into a monster like them."
"The government realized this too late. Many of them had already been converted. Yes, some people pressed the nuclear bomb button. Fortunately, their chaotic brains prevented them from throwing the big bomb in the right place, but
The ocean is polluted and so is the groundwater."
Riley and Xu Shangqi's faces became heavy, while Jessica's face turned pale and she muttered: "There are still remaining organizations in some countries in Asia that are still resisting, and there are also some survivor alliances in Texas and Florida.
, but New York is completely ruined, and you know why."
Of course they know that New York is the place with the most intensive superhero activities. If superheroes are the source of infection, it is almost impossible for anything to be left here.
"Then you..." Xu Shangqi spat out a few syllables with some hesitation. He was worried that Jessica's unstable mental state would be stimulated again, so he was extra tactful.
Jessica pursed her lips and lowered her head, showing a wry smile and said: "I was a blessing in disguise. For a long time before, I was controlled by a super criminal called Purple Man, and he established a spiritual system in my mind.
A barrier to control.”
"When the disaster struck, he died immediately at the hands of a superhero, but his mental control over me was not completely over. The barrier was still there, so I used my talents to fight off the two monsters.
, and hid."
Jessica pointed her head and said: "He is a terrible sadist, controlling every part of my thinking and depriving me of the ability to think independently, but this actually saved my life, because the remaining
The influence, the madness caused by the monsters cannot control the main part of the brain, so I can face those monsters head-on without going crazy."
"But what you said is right." There was a trace of despair in Jessica's tone: "This is not a long-term solution at all. As I gradually regain my consciousness, sooner or later the madness will invade here, and I will become a vendetta.
A monster like the Alliance."
"Vendetta?" Riley repeated the word with some confusion. Jessica looked up at him, but quickly looked away, muttering: "Yes, Vendetta, there
Maybe there are some of your old friends, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor."
Both 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 beings after all. I can understand. What's going on with Thor?"
"Literally, it's the guy who walks around with a hammer." Jessica shook her head and said, "There aren't 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. Apparently Xu Shangqi thought the same. It seemed that Jessica didn't know that Thor came from Asgard, but they both knew.
If even the protoss of Asgard fell, then the enemy might be unimaginably powerful, and they would have to re-evaluate the magnitude of the situation.
"How did you come to this universe? Forget it, it's useless to ask. You should leave quickly before you are infected." Jessica waved her hand and stood up, picked up the old shotgun again, and said
: "I have special abilities, but Purple Man's control over me prevents me from fully exerting my power right now. If I go crazy, I might hurt you, so get out of here."
After saying that, she was about to walk out with the gun in hand. Riley held her back, looked at her and said, "You mean, we will be infected if we face the monsters directly? But we just killed two monsters."
"Yes, one looks like a zombie, and the other looks a bit like a cobra, but with a lot more tentacles." Xu Shangqi described.
Jessica's movements paused, she turned her head and looked into Xu Shangqi's eyes and said, "Did you look at them?"
"Of course, that zombie has at least eight eyes. I don't think it can be seen." Xu Shangqi answered honestly.
But Jessica took two steps back, looking at them as if they were looking at monsters. She shuddered, and then said: "Didn't you see it? Didn't you see some scary vision? For example, you suddenly felt dizzy, and then saw many pairs of eyes.
Staring at you, tentacles, slime and all kinds of scary bugs?"
Seeing Jessica's pale face, Riley knew that she must be describing something he had seen before, but he showed a confused look, and when he turned to look at Xu Shangqi, he found that Xu Shangqi
He also looked confused.
"That is a kind of terrible mental pollution." Jessica shook her head and said: "They will corrode your brain and drag you into the whirlpool bit by bit."
"I didn't see it." Riley shrugged and said, "I was busy judging whether the spider sense was working or not."
Xu Shangqi recalled for a while, and then said: "I was checking the flow of Qi through the endoscope, and reciting the formula in my mind. You know, it is very important to review before the exam. I don't want to recite the wrong formula for the first time when I cast the spell."
At this time, Jessica realized that their expressions 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 will never happen because of
Are you visitors from another universe?"
Riley and Xu Shangqi looked at each other, and they obviously thought of the same answer - maybe the pollution didn't happen, but it was just a little weaker, so that they didn't feel it.
They recalled the tearful gratitude they felt when they saw that the monsters and zombies in this world could be touched. They also thought about the quiet terror when the terrible night came in the dream universe, and the contrast between the sunlight now.
The sharp contrast between the bright and warm scene with gentle breeze - they almost wanted to high-five and cheer.
Riley swallowed and slowly suppressed his excitement, but this action was interpreted by Jessica as concern and fear. She put the gun on her shoulder and said: "I have no intention of dragging you into the water.
No one needs to be saved, and if this is the fate of this universe, all I can say is, well, screw it, no more victims are needed!”
After saying that, Jessica turned around and walked downstairs, but Xu Shangqi quickly stepped to the stairs from the side, blocking her path, and said: "Wait a minute, I have a morning meeting."
There are plans that I have thought of but haven’t put into practice yet.”
He glanced at Riley, who of course knew what Xu Shangqi was referring to, so he shrugged and said: "Okay, whatever you want, I hope we can find some survivors to enrich our doomsday evacuation
All inventory.”
"What riddles are you playing?" Jessica's eyes kept flowing between the two young men, as if she was guessing about their relationship, and also seemed to be thinking about her relationship with their plan.
But no matter what, the three of them walked out of the store window together. The human survival instinct will prevail at any time. Jessica knew that in a sense, these two people did save her. If there was any possibility that they would not
would be contaminated, that would really save her.
"So, this is Hell's Kitchen?" Xu Shangqi asked.
"Isn't this obvious?" Jessica stroked the barrel of the shotgun and said, "The police cars you see on the road are not there to save people, they are just to suppress the riots. This is where the chaos started first."
"If there is a safe house here that we can use, I think it must be..." Xu Shangqi turned to look at Riley, who remembered the story he had told Xu Shangqi about himself.
, and then after a moment’s thought, he came up with the answer: “Jin Bin’s Palace.”
Jessica raised her eyebrows when she heard the familiar name. 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."
"The terrible gang boss and his men must have turned into monsters. They not only have guns and tentacles, but they may also have some helpers you can't imagine."
"Aren't you coming?" Riley looked at Jessica and asked with a smile.
Jessica snorted coldly, flicked the gun bolt hard, and then jumped into the air under the slightly surprised eyes of Riley and Xu Shangqi, flew into the air, and said in a cold voice: "I still said the same thing, go
