Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 192 The Crime of the Century
"The more angry you are, the stronger you are?"

Looking away from Hulk's huge body, Colin raised his eyebrows and said.

Also affected by gamma rays, the situation of Hulk or Bruce Banner is even more special.

The gamma rays seem to have created some sort of deeper mutation with the cells in his body, causing him to grow stronger in strength.

Ordinary people, when they are emotional, will instinctively start to secrete adrenaline under the influence of the subconscious, to control the increase of the contractility of the heart muscle, resulting in faster blood flow, and finally burst out with more powerful power than before. Horse rays clearly amplify this effect.

Roar--

In the laboratory, Hulk opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar.

boom!
The next moment, its unusually well-developed thighs bent slightly, and its huge body flew out like a cannonball, rushing to Colin in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the huge impact of Hulk coming towards his face, the expression on Colin's face did not change at all.

Turning his head to look at Hulk's thick arm raised in mid-air, he raised his fist and collided with it without hesitation.

Bang!
A pair of fists of different sizes collided together, forming a violent impact sound.

The entire laboratory seemed to be shaken by this force.

[Contact the distorted time node, collect a small amount of time fragments × 4]

"The level of strength is close to the level of black iron."

After comparing the force from the other end of the fist, Colin made a judgment in his mind.

There is no doubt that the [Super Strength] of the black iron level is already an extremely powerful ability. Considering the time it took for Bruce Banner to transform after being irradiated by gamma rays, this level of strength growth is obviously even more amazing .

After all, it took even Colin almost several months to unlock the current [Super Power (Bronze)] level of ability.

And Bruce Banner just got gamma-rayed to achieve it.

"Unfortunately, this level of strength is not enough to defeat me."

With the change of thoughts in his mind, the movements of Colin's hands did not stop at all. He saw his arm exert a slight force, and a force that even Hulk could not resist burst out suddenly.

boom!
Accompanied by the transmission of this force, Hulk, who was still barely maintaining a confrontational posture with Colin, suddenly staggered and flew out backwards, falling heavily on the ground.

Bang!
The entire building of Hydera shook violently under this punch, and a huge crack appeared on the ground behind Hulk.

With such a huge power, it would be enough to cause fatal injuries to any member of the Thunder Special Team.

However, for Hulk, such an attack just made his emotions a little more angry.

Roaring and jumping out of the crack, Hulk let out a roar at Colin in front of him. He bent down, stretched out his huge palm and grabbed a stone that was as high as a person on the ground, and suddenly moved towards Colin. Im throwing away.

whoosh-

Under the blessing of Hulk's huge strength, the stone made a terrifying sound of breaking through the air, forming a power no less than that of a bomb.

boom!
Seeing this, the expression on Ke Lin's face did not change at all, only his eyes were slightly red, and in the next second, two red high-temperature beams shot out instantly, blasting the stone into pieces.

At the same time, under the effect of [Super Speed], Colin's body came to Hulk's side and opened his mouth to blow gently.

Call ~
A cold air emerged from Colin's body, and a huge lifelike ice sculpture appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

[Contact the distorted time node, collect a small amount of time fragments × 3]

Hulk, who was frozen into an ice sculpture, had an angry expression clearly visible on his face.

In the next second, there was a crackling sound.

Click, click—

Hulk broke free from the thick ice, roaring.

"It seems that [Frozen Breath] can't calm Hulk down."

Seeing this, Ke Lin didn't show an overly surprised expression, but thought to himself.

"Since freezing can't calm you down, I can only use more brutal methods."

Controlling his body to [fly] into the air, Colin and the Hulk in front of him looked at each other and said calmly.

"I'm sure you won't mind."

Roar--

Looking up at Colin's figure floating in mid-air, Hulk roared again, raising his palms to smash the annoying guy in front of him to pieces.

Bang!
The two huge palms closed together, making an ear-splitting clapping sound in the laboratory.

However, in the face of Hulk's heavy slap, Colin's body in the palm of his hand did not suffer the slightest damage.

Stretching out his hands to easily open Hulk's palms, Colin looked at the Hulk's head filled with anger, then nodded and said, "Since you don't say anything, then I will take it as your acquiescence."

Whoosh!
As Colin finished speaking, two red high-temperature rays shot out from his eyes instantly.

Being hit by [Hot Sight] at such a close range, even Hulk couldn't help but let out a painful wail. The scorching heat penetrated his hard skin to form two bloody, scorched holes, and he could even see through the wound. See the green muscle tissue and dense bones in Hulk's body.

Letting go of Colin's hand, Hulk wailed and fell to his knees in the laboratory.

Accompanied by its howling of pain, the wound caused by [Hot Sight] healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and large pieces of flesh and blood squirmed and covered the white bones, and in a blink of an eye, the scorched wound was covered by the regrowth of flesh and blood cover.

"This level of healing power."

Seeing the regeneration process of Hulk's wound in mid-air, Colin frowned slightly.

Under the effect of [Super Perspective], he can see the secrets of Hulk's body more intuitively from another angle.

Unlike the mouse Hulk, the distribution of gamma rays in Hulk's body is more extensive, covering almost all levels of its body and even every organ is flooded with gamma rays.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a large number of gamma rays that Hulk can recover from a fatal injury to ordinary people in just a few seconds.

With the recovery of the injury, the emotion in Hulk's eyes began to change. The stimulation of pain made his already angry emotion start to grow again. Under the effect of this emotion, his already huge body swelled rapidly .

In the blink of an eye, it has already broken through the height of the laboratory.

Due to his huge size, Hulk had to use his hands as a support to maintain a half-squat position in the laboratory to avoid hitting the top of his head with the laboratory.

Looking up, looking at the roof that was close at hand, a tyrannical look flashed across Hulk's red eyes.

In the next second, without hesitation, he stretched out his arm and began to smash it against the top of his head.

……

"Ah, help..."

"what happened?!"

"Earthquake, earthquake!"

"OMG... run away..."

"Get down and find cover."

"Why, there is an earthquake in good New York?"

Inside the Hydera Building, looking at the cracks formed on the ground and the violent shaking from the feet, it suddenly fell into chaos.

Not only Hydera, but everyone nearby was frightened by the sudden vibration.

No matter how they think about it, it is impossible to know that what caused all this was not the expected natural disaster, but just from Hulk's arms.

Looking at the Hulk who kept beating the roof of the laboratory in front of him, he even forgot about himself.

Colin is basically sure that in the Hulk state, the other party has no reason at all, and all actions are influenced by emotions.

That's why it happens that in the middle of the battle, you are suddenly attracted by other existences.

[Super Hearing] Now, Colin can already hear the impact of the vibration on the road, the chaos caused and the scene of the vehicle collision.

"Now is not the time to be distracted."

Amidst the chaos, panic and even crying, Colin reminded Hulk a little bit, and in the next second, with a flash of a figure, he had already arrived behind this huge body.

"Good boy, don't move around casually."

Swinging his arms, with a sound of breaking through the air, Colin's fist hit Hulk's head, causing him to stagger hugely.

However, seeing this scene, Colin couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.

"The power has grown."

Feeling the power coming from his fist, Colin couldn't help murmuring.

If so, in the battle with Hulk just now, what the other party showed was only a huge power close to the level of black iron.

Then, the power transmitted by Hulk at this moment is obviously much higher than before, and it is even close to the level of [Bronze] level [Super Power].

Although, the increasing strength was only close to [Super Strength (Bronze)], but the speed of this increase still surprised Colin a little.

While thinking about it, Colin's eyes once again fired [Hot Sight] and landed on the opposite Hulk.

It's just that the high-temperature beam that was able to penetrate Hulk's body just now, leaving a bloody hole, has now become a little powerless after only penetrating the skin on Hulk's surface.

Next, no matter how much Colin urges his eyes to launch the [Hot Sight], he can't cause further damage to Hulk.Often before his heat vision penetrates the muscle, it is blocked by the regenerated muscle.

"This level of strength increase is simply the ability to cheat."

Seeing this, Colin twitched the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly.

If this fight continues, I believe that Hulk's strength will be almost the same as his in a short time.

"Fortunately, you are not the only one with the ability to cheat."

However, in the next second, Colin's twitching mouth turned into a less obvious smile.

I saw that he stopped the attack of [Hot Sight], and slowly closed his eyes that were still slightly red under the gaze of Hulk on the opposite side.

Under the effect of [Super Speed], everything around became a bit slower.

Hulk's roar and footsteps were getting slower and slower in his ears, and Colin's consciousness began to dive continuously with his eyes closed.

In the end, he traveled to another world surrounded by countless green lights.

……

Facing the world, Colin opened his eyes.

Turn on the radio by the bedside, the latest progress of a kidnapping incident is being reported on the radio program in the early morning.

"...So far, the missing child of Charles Lindbergh has still not been found. Charles, who was only [-] months old, was kidnapped a week ago. The initial kidnapper proposed $[-] in the note left by the window. The ransom, but not long ago, the other party left a new note and raised it to [-] US dollars, this greedy and cold-blooded guy..."

The abductee's father, Charles Lindbergh, was a famous pilot who flew the single-engine Spirit of St. Louis from New York City to Paris in 1927, across the Atlantic without landing, in 33.5 hours.

And won the Outlaw Award, became a celebrity.

It is precisely because of Charles Lindbergh's celebrity status that the kidnapping case has attracted special attention this time.

Even the radio and television stations launched a real-time report on the whole case, and directly called this kidnapping case the 'crime of the century'.

Not only because Charles Lindbergh, who was kidnapped, is a celebrity, but also because this is the first crime case to be reported in real time through broadcasting. In the past, crime reports were generally reported through news, and this method is compared with broadcasting even if it is Fast, but there is still a delay, which is far less timely than the broadcast.

The detailed report on the kidnapping case on the radio pulled Colin's thoughts from the battle between the anti-world and the Hulk back to the real world he was in.

"Unfortunately, this kidnapping case was destined to be a tragedy from the very beginning, and it was a complete fraud."

After sorting out his thoughts through [Super Brain Power], Colin, who came back to his senses, expressed sympathy to Charles Lindbergh, the victim in the radio report.

As he remembered correctly, Charles was brutally murdered by the kidnappers on the day he was kidnapped.After all, a twenty-month-old baby seemed a little too suspicious no matter where it was taken, and the kidnappers who wanted money had no intention of raising the child for them.

Therefore, the other party never wanted to return the child to Charles Lindbergh's family from the very beginning.

In the end, when Charles Lindbergh collected the ransom, what was waiting was the dead body of the child.

In this case, the role of broadcasting is to let the public know about this case, and at the same time help Charles Lindbergh's family find the remains of the missing children through detailed descriptions.The endless comments and updates of radio reporters also indirectly led to the enthusiasm of the public for this disappearance case.became the first example of the public's obsession with true crime.

And even with the end of the disappearance case and the kidnapper being sentenced to death, related discussions still haven't stopped.

Many people even believed that the kidnapper, the German immigrant Hoffman, was just an unlucky scapegoat.

British detective novelist Agatha Christie, who heard about this case, was inspired by this case to create a famous detective novel - Murder on the Orient Express.
