During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 22: Abnormal attack
New York in December is already very cold, and this year the temperature has dropped to the lowest point in history with meteorological records.
But the prosperity of the metropolis will not subside because of the cold winter.
Because time is approaching Christmas, the most important holiday in the West.
Therefore, no matter whether it is a major supermarket or a variety of shops in a business center, various discounts and promotions have been launched.
This is the most important business season of the year. During this time, even non-wealthy families will find ways to squeeze out a little money.
Purchase some Christmas ornaments for your home.
Or find a way to add a new piece of clothing or buy a new toy for your child.
Life in New York is not easy. This is the most expensive region in the world.
Heavy pressure on life will overwhelm those with unsatisfactory lives.
Especially for some special people, their lives here will be more difficult.
For example, this man who appears in front of us is called Hale.
His dress is a bit strange, although the temperature outside New York is very cold.
However, because of the opening of the central air conditioner in large shopping malls, the heating temperature is set very high.
So the temperature inside the mall is actually very high.
Those wearing heavy winter clothes outside will take off their thick winter clothes when they come here.
But Hale is very strange. He wore a high-collar winter suit and wrapped his neck around.
Jeans are paired with rubber-soled shoes, to be honest, this dress is very old fashioned.
Not to mention a pair of cheap-looking gloves.
It looks like gloves made of nylon or other by-products of petrochemical materials.
This pair of gloves looks more like a pair of working gloves, rather than gloves that everyone wears on holidays.
New York is one of the world's fashion capitals, and it is named after Paris and Milan.
Hale ’s strange appearance makes people passing by keep him a little far away from him.
Not to mention Hale ’s hair has n’t been trimmed for a long time.
It looks messy, although it seems that he tried to smooth it out before going out.
But it feels even worse to do so, now he looks like a dirty hippie.
His eyes on Hale made him very uncomfortable.
But he ca n’t blame others for his views, because he knows he ’s not happy.
He just wants to get things done as soon as possible and leave the building early.
This commercial building in Queens is home to many shops and brand outlet stores.
At the same time, there are many cafes and restaurants, which are places where residents will come to relax and shop on holidays.
There is also the largest ToysUS (Toys"R"Us) in Queens.
The toys here are almost the most complete in Queens, but the toys in toys are almost not cheap.
But every Christmas, even if the toys here are not cheap, there will be countless parents who come here to shop.
To surprise your child with Christmas. Maybe a box of building blocks, maybe a Barbie doll.
No matter what, at least on this day the children will receive gifts, which will make them happy for a whole month.
Hale did n’t seem to care about other people ’s surprised eyes, but his footsteps revealed his lack of confidence.
It seemed a little shy to finally step into this toy store.
"Able to do, just a gift, I can afford it." Hale whispered to himself.
He put his hands in his pockets and pinched two crumpled dollar banknotes.
This is all his cash. Hale ’s job is not easy to find.
Because he always makes things worse, now he can get food from the relief station.
He does not have any cash income.
Now the paper money in your pocket was issued by a kind gentleman yesterday.
He said that he was a devout believer, sending meager cash for poor families before Christmas.
This is for those children in the family, give them a gift they like at Christmas.
Although there is very little money, only twenty-five dollars, Hale is very grateful.
Hale has not bought toys for his son for a long time.
Since he could n’t work and his wife left him.
The situation at home is getting more and more difficult. Now he has no money to pay the property tax.
Maybe the house will be recycled by the government or bank next year.
This may be the last time at home for Christmas. He does n’t want to see his son enviously watching other children ’s toys.
The eager eyes always break his heart.
He could n’t afford too expensive toys, so he lingered on the shelves for a long time.
It wasn't until the salesperson looked at him with a precautionary eye that he picked up a Captain America's soldier doll hesitated for a long time.
The soldier's workmanship is not exquisite, and the price is relatively cheap.
But it also costs thirty dollars, but because it is 20% off at Christmas, it only costs twenty-four dollars.
There is still one dollar left. Hale decided that the remaining one dollar would bring a kfc burger to his son.
Haier ’s heart is a little soft when he thinks of how happy the child is when he sees the gift.
The crowd of people waiting in line to check out is very long. Behind Hale looks like a couple with their little daughter to buy toys.
The family seemed to be very harmonious, talking and laughing there. Hale was envious, and he had the same family a few years ago.
And now everything is gone with the wind. Thinking of Hale coming from here without sadness.
“Mr. is a total of thirty dollars.” It ’s Hale ’s turn to check out, and the cashier took the goods and scanned the code to check out.
However, the figures she exposed surprised Hale, and Hale asked inexplicably.
"Is n’t it a Christmas sale today? Is n’t it a 20% discount on all products?" Hale only had twenty-five dollars in his pocket, and he did n’t have five dollars to pay.
"Sorry, Mr. Hasbro ’s products do not participate in this promotional discount." The waiter said sorry.
But her tone seems impatient. She is very busy today and does not want to be entangled with a weirdo.
"Please, I only have so much. Can I pay in installments due to financial difficulties recently?" Hale requested all 25 dollars.
"Sorry, products that are less than two hundred dollars cannot be paid in installments." The waiter's tone is still cold.
"You may be able to choose other products."
Having said that, Hale has no choice.
This Captain America's soldier can almost be found, the cheapest Captain America puppet.
Hale ’s children have always admired Captain America, which is a role model and idol for children.
Hale hopes that his child will be as strong as the captain and will not be easily defeated in his future life.
The cashier looked at Hale with no emotion, which embarrassed him.
He hesitated for a moment and took a silver-white necklace out of his clothes.
This is a souvenir left by his father. It was a souvenir created after the sterling silver cutlery that broke through the secret base of the Nazis in Sweden during World War II.
This has always been meaningful to Hale, but he took it out now, and he shivered and put the necklace on the cash register.
"This is a sterling silver necklace weighing fifteen grams and valued at seven dollars in terms of silver price. I now ask you to lend me five dollars."
Hale ’s pleadings are sincere, and his posture is low.
But the cashier shook his head coldly. "If you don't have enough money, you can choose other products." This is like a robot.
Hayle is stubborn. Perhaps his child will be disappointed today.
He picked up the toy preparation and returned to the original place, maybe he could only pick some other toys.
As he was about to prepare immediately, the couple who had been standing in line behind him stopped him.
"Sir, if you don't mind, I can lend you five dollars first." The lady stopped him and took out five dollars from her wallet and wanted to hand it to him.
It is a loan, but it is actually a gift. Hale knows the meaning of the other party very well.
"Ma'am, thank you, I'm afraid I can't ask for this money." Hale was very moved, but he had decided to change to a cheaper toy.
I have taken too many charities, I have owed too much.
"This is Mr. Christmas, the gift of the Lord should spread everywhere, everyone should be happy on this day, if this can help you, it will be our glory."
It seems that this family is still a devout believer.
"My mother said that helping others is the source of happiness. If your child can be happy at Christmas because of our help, then we will also be happy."
The younger daughter of the husband and wife is still a bit young, and the voice is a bit childish, and some are milky, but cute.
"So, don't refuse my good intentions, sir." The lady once again passed the dollar toward Hale.
"Thank you ... Thank you." Hale's voice was a little choked, and he was ready to accept this kindness.
And at the bottom of the crowd of nearly 100 people in line, Li Jie also picked gifts to prepare for Christmas.
Including for Mingdi, Li Jie always wanted to correct her thoughts.
There are also preparations for Zeng Chu and Peter, who are both older children and have no resistance to toys.
He did n’t find out what happened at the front of the team because of his perspective.
He is still thinking about asking Peter to come out and talk about Sorcerer Surpreme in the afternoon.
As he was thinking about the mage, there was a riot in the front team.
Haier is ready to take the money the lady handed him. At the moment he received the money, his pair of worn-out gloves seemed to have been cut open with a sharp blade.
The part that should have wrapped around your fingers was exposed.
When Hale discovered it was too late. "No." Hale called desperately.
A blue and white arc gushing from his finger, the arc was directed toward the person closest to Hale because of the voltage difference.
The lady did not expect such a thing to happen.
A powerful electric current penetrated her body instantly, and only a momentary contact would kill her.
Her warm smile still hangs on her face, and she has already lost her life.
At this moment, the crowd became panicked and screamed, and the whole team was messed up.
"What did you do! What did you do to my wife!" the man asked incredulously, holding his wife's body.
The little girl was crying out loud after receiving excessive shock.
"My wife is helping you! And you, and you actually killed her!" The man's youthful menstrual burst out, his blood was continuously stimulated by adrenaline.
Angry has made him go sane. "You are a mutant! You are a mutant! So are you going to kill my wife!"
The man said this and approached Hale quickly.
"Don't come, my gloves are broken, don't come, I will release the voltage first." Hale kept backing away, he wanted to find something to release the voltage in his body.
Li Jie still thinks about things and finds that the team has started to riot. Many people have left their belongings and want to leave here.
At this time, the originally obstructed line of sight only saw clearly what was happening in front.
A female body is lying on the ground, beside her is a crying little girl.
And a man who looks like the woman ’s husband is approaching another man aggressively.
Hale is constantly shrinking and dodge. He lacks control of his own power.
He became a mutant in the last two years. He did n’t want to be a mutant at all.
Because of this power he cannot control, his body always accumulates electric charge.
The voltage must be released every once in a while, and it is impossible to release the charge unscrupulously in public, which will harm innocent people.
Because of this ability, he lost the car repair work that he had to make a living, and his wife ran away, leaving him to live with his children.
Haier does n’t want to hurt anyone, but the power beyond his control is so dangerous.
Even if he was unwilling, today he still killed a man, a kind mother, and a gentle wife.
Now her husband is crazy and wants to come to him desperately.
But Hale knew that he would hurt him again, and Hale kept going back.
But the man was too close, and Hale ’s current leaking from his body was about to move.
A blue and white arc spewed from his finger at this moment, and Hale shouted desperately, "No!"
The blue electric current hit the man, and Li Jie already knew what was happening here, the moment the electric current concentrated on the man ’s body.
Li Jie has come to the man's side. He can't get up quickly in the crowd, but fortunately, even when he arrives.
A metal railing used to maintain order was thrown over by Li Jie.
The more conductive metal posts attract a lot of current. The strong current hits the metal column and makes the sound of pī li pā lā.
Moreover, the splashing current messed up the voltage in this store. There is a continuous air switch tripping and power failure.
The entire floor falls into darkness.
After Hale released all the electric charges, he collapsed to the ground weakly, still talking in his mouth. "Sorry, sorry."
Li Jie does n’t have time to manage him now. Now he is checking the vital signs of this man who was electrocuted.
The pupils start to dilate and breathing and pulse begin to weaken. There was a slight subcutaneous bleeding, and the tongue coating also had some bleeding symptoms.
Li Jie started cardiopulmonary resuscitation for men. These are some first aids learned from Frank.
"Which of you **** calm down and call a doctor to come over!" Li Jie gave the man a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, watching the roaring crowd roar.
When the police on patrol came here, someone finally called Li Jie to call the doctor.
At this time, Li Jie has given the man a five-minute heart compression.
If he stops, the man ’s heartbeat will stop immediately.
And the police who came to help could n’t get in the way, only to protect the little girl from the family from being injured in the crowd.
Hale is also controlled by the police, and he now seems to have recovered some strength.
It ’s not as weak as it was when the power was first discharged.
He looked at everything he had caused, and the dead mother with a smile on his face.
The little girl crying.
There are also men who do not know life and death because they hurt themselves. His heart is extremely regretful.
He hates everything he causes, he hates the hard life after losing his job.
At this moment his inner despair continues to expand.
There is a small amount of electricity stored in his body. He gave the police who controlled him a bit of electricity to make him a little paralyzed.
Then snatched a pistol around his waist and issued the final declaration of his life. "I hate mutants !!"
Bump, m1911's bullet passed through his brain, red blood and gray brain fluttering around.
The toy he was about to bring to the child was also contaminated. The bright red blood stained the stars and stripes behind Captain America.
Li Jie understood what happened not far behind him when the gunshots sounded, but he could n’t stop now.
Because there is another life in his hand.
When the doctor finally arrived and handed over to Li Jie, Li Jie's expression was a little numb, and as the doctor appeared a group of paparazzi reporters, or so-called free media people.
They are not regular TV station staff, they usually collect their own news and sell it to the TV station.
The same happened to the two who came today. They were overjoyed when they saw the **** scene on the scene.
They don't care about the tragedy of the two families behind this matter ~ IndoMTL.com ~ For them, this is the green dollar.
"Wow, luck today is really good, this is the first of several mutant attacks today." A paparazzi asked his companion.
"The third or fourth." The companion replied. "The news is all in US dollars."
The two were very excited to take live photos and videos.
In short, how come it is bloody, the more able to get people ’s attention, the better, as for intensifying contradictions or something, this is not their business.
When they were excited, they grabbed the paparazzi's collar with a big hand.
"You said that the same attack happened several times today!" Li Jie's voice was angry and cold.
The paparazzi couldn't help swallowing with fierce eyes.
"Man, calm down, you want to know that I can tell you, but please do n’t do it to me." (To be continued.)
