death of hope

Chapter 74 "Flying Windfall" (74) Mask

Dragonfly Man ran over panting, and helped the ape-man up:

"Boss, are you okay?"

The ape-man felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and the fragments from the explosion embedded in his flesh, causing severe pain. He lied:

"I'm fine, is the monster dead?"

"Not only didn't he die, but it got worse." Dragonfly shook his head disappointedly: "This is great, a monster was blown into two, and it's eating people everywhere."

"It's a pity... the takeaway rider sacrificed himself and couldn't destroy it."

"It was hit by a small missile launched by the drone again, and it's still fine, boss, isn't that thing indestructible?"

"Nothing in this world is immortal, it can definitely be killed, but we need to find a way.

But... It is definitely not possible to use small-yield explosives. As long as the flesh tissue is left, it will increase its number and become more troublesome. "

"Hey, look, what did these scientists do to summon the devil from hell to the world."

"There are demons...." The ape-man struggled to support his body: "The monks of the church said that they should use flames to cleanse the sins and burn them to death. We must not let this evil beast harm the residential areas."

The flesh-eating beast that was blown in half by the explosives split into two, each with consciousness,
The bigger one jumped into the crowd of the Geekshin group and slaughtered wantonly, fighting with the powerful cyber warrior "Cold Steel".

The other, smaller one stayed put and devoured the living, growing stronger with each piece of flesh eaten.

"Black cat, hit it with a white phosphorus incendiary bomb!" the ape man shouted loudly, and then went into battle.

"Got it, boss."

The black cat on the billboard found a white grenade from the ammunition box, with the word Phosphorus printed on the shell.

Stuff the ammunition into the grenade launcher hung under the sniper rifle, the target is devouring the living, in a static state, just in time for aiming.

The black cat pulled the trigger, and the white phosphorus incendiary bomb hit the target. Once this terrible substance is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish. The scorching white phosphorus fragments burn through the meat tissue of the meat-eating beast, and then deeply embedded in the bone marrow, causing the monster to scream in pain .

"Amazing!" Dragonfly shouted excitedly, "It worked! Keep shooting!"

At this time, the ape-man was being besieged by dozens of gang members, unable to take care of himself, and couldn't spare his hand to help.

The black cat reloaded the second round of ammunition, and with its keen dynamic vision, it detected something approaching at high speed. The flesh-eating beast clone had already found her position.

Regardless of the violently burning white phosphorous on its body, the monster pounced on it while smoking.

"Susan! Watch out!"

Downey, who was under the billboard, looked very worried. He raised his automatic rifle and fired a round of bullets at the flesh-eating beast's belly, which seemed to have little effect.

The black cat avoided the flesh-devouring beast's jaws, and her thin body made her the most agile among superheroes. The acidic slime sprayed out by the monster stuck to the cloak, and she quickly took off the cloak and threw it away.

Rolled several times in a row to avoid the attacking tentacles, opened the distance and shot decisively, the white phosphorus incendiary bomb hit the target's mouth,
The fiery flame exploded in an instant, and the high-temperature white phosphorus burned the monster black from the inside to the outside, completely killing it.

"Darling! You are so beautiful and can fight!"

Downey jumped up happily on the ground, and gestured vigorously towards the lovers on the billboard with the letter "V" symbolizing victory.

The black cat gave Donnie a forced smile, and she felt her beating heart almost popping out of her ribs.

If the roll and dodge just slowed down by 0.1 seconds, I would have become the monster's lunch.

The stench from the charred corpse made her stomach churn, and she panted heavily with lingering fear.

At the same time, there was a scream from the Jizhen group,
The cyber warrior "Cold Steel" was defeated in the battle with the flesh-eating beast clone,

The flesh-eating beast had no interest in this inedible mechanical body, and turned to hunt down the flesh-and-blood street warriors. For a while, blood spattered and wailed all over the place.

Suddenly, the monster felt that his clone was dead, roared angrily, dropped the corpse in its mouth, and approached the billboard with lightning speed.

"Be careful!" Dragonfly Man, Downey and others warned loudly.

The black cat that hadn't caught its breath was hunted down again,

At this time, she had no white phosphorus incendiary bombs in her hands, so she could only throw away the sniper rifle, climb and escape between the steel scaffolding of the billboard, and occasionally turned around and shot with a pistol.

This flesh-eating beast clone inherited most of the body's physical tissues, and its strength was much stronger than the dead one.

It continued to evolve during the battle, and the extended tentacles grabbed Susan's slender ankles, pulled her off, and fell to the ground hard like a rag doll.

"No! Susan!"

Downey ran over desperately, but was mercilessly knocked into the wall by the flesh-eating beast, his leg bones were shattered, and his internal organs were bleeding.

Roy and the others fired desperately, no matter if they hit the monster with kinetic energy bullets or heat rays, it would be futile.

A small missile fired by the drone hit the meat-eating beast on the back, which hurt it so much that it ignored the people around it and ran to chase the drone instead.

Others wanted to come to the rescue, but were blocked by gang members fighting frantically.

Downey dragged his broken leg and crawled over enduring the severe pain. A long trail of blood trailed behind him. Finally, his chubby hand grabbed Susan's little white hand:

"I'm here, don't panic, Darling, I'm here..."

He took off her black cat mask and saw a pale and frail face,

Susan coughed up blood, and her breath was like a gossamer, seeing that she was dying.

Downey himself was in a similar situation, but he still forced a smile on his face:
"Continue to broadcast live at night, let's play the latest game together."

"Okay...together..." Susan said, coughing up blood, "Donnie... please, help me put the mask on."

"why?"

"Because... I hate mediocrity, the black cat is who I really am...I want to die as a superhero, everyone thinks I put on the black cat mask, when in fact, I take off my human skin mask. "

"I get it, honey, I get it."

Donnie grants her wish, picks up the black cat mask with his bloodstained palm, and helps her put it back on.

"Thank you."

"Do you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

"Join the York City Avengers and become a superhero."

"No, I don't regret it."

"Why are you so persistent? We are just ants and cannot change everything."

The black cat laughed:

"I did it not because I thought I could win, but because I knew it was just."

"So that's how it is...as expected of my favorite anchor."

"I'm sleepy."

"Sleep, it won't hurt when you wake up."

Donnie and the black cat embraced each other and never moved again.
