Chapter 138

After 24 hours.

Dilapidated blocks, yellow dust all over the sky, like an overwhelming curtain sweeping along all the streets and alleys.Plenty of pieces of paper fluttered in the wind, flying in and out from the holes and broken windows of the building like scraps of paper. They were green banknotes.

Vehicles blocked all the blocks, but it was different from the usual traffic jams, and the scene now looked more spectacular.Small cars were overturned on all fours, and the worse fuel tanks were even dripping.The armored van overturned sideways, crushing the roof of a red sports car deeply, and the freshly printed banknotes in the cargo box flew all over the street.

This is New York.

Yes, this city full of yellow dust and empty like a ghost town is New York, a cosmopolitan and prosperous metropolis.The border has been pulled up with a mesh wall, and a sign that says "Infected Area" has been pasted. Below it is a warning in small print that only authorized personnel, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the federal government have the right to enter.

In just 24 hours, New York almost turned into hell.

Well, not everyone is gone.

A pair of sneakers stepped on the carpet of banknotes and came to the side of the street.Wearing a cheap sportswear and a hood, the man with a pale face like an albino bent down, dragged a large sack, grabbed a large amount of banknotes from the ground, and stuffed them into the bag.

"We should go."

Another man came up behind him, also carrying a sack full of banknotes.

"Wait, there's a lot more here." The man stubbornly continued to put money into his sack.

"So what?" said his companion in the blue peaked cap. "The banks in the whole city are abolished."

"Just take a little more, before we, ahem, leave the city."

As the man spoke, he coughed violently twice and spit out thick yellow phlegm, obviously his physical condition was not very good.

"We've got enough," said his companion. "The others have left long ago, and we should hurry too. We must"

"Bang!"

It was the sound of metal combat boots landing on the roof of a car, crushing it violently. The Alpha-type submerged armor fell grandly in front of several people, and the steel body released a compelling pressure.

"Put the money down." Eric glanced at these people through the monitor, and said coldly, "I'm just passing by, and I don't want to make things difficult, so I suggest that you better simply surrender and save some time for you and me."

"A superhero? I thought they were done!?" The hooded man obediently raised his hand, "Hey man, this money just fell from the sky, and we didn't do anything."

"You have been exposed to a virus called 'Amazo', and the carotid arteries have become inflamed." Eric gritted his teeth lightly, "You are very sick now, and part of this is my fault, so. I just want to help you guys."

"Sick?" Blue Hat laughed, as if a raging flame was ignited in his eyeballs, "I think it's very good!"

Eric's pupils shrank rapidly.Through the monitor, he clearly saw that the skin on the man's face was cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was as shocking as scars cut by a knife.The man opened his mouth, and scorching flames spurted out from his eye sockets, mouth and nose, like an angry hellhound in mythology.

The flames instantly engulfed the Alpha armor, and even the outline was gradually hidden in it, as if being chewed and digested by a demon.

Pretty hot flames, but Eric's been through far worse ones.

The black armor burst straight out of the flames, and the armor was burned slightly red.He punched the man hard on the cheek, and the latter flew forward and smashed the half-open door of a car behind him, hit his head with a "bang", and lost consciousness.

It seems that he just acquired the ability to set fire, but his physical fitness is still just mortal.

And the hooded man's body seemed to be on the verge of limit, his pale forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his legs were trembling, and it seemed that just standing was very difficult.

"Don't" he said with difficulty, "don't come near me."

Eric took a step closer, stretched out his hand and said, "Calm down, sir, I'm trying to help you. You don't have much time left, and if you continue like this, you will."

Before he finished speaking, the guy exploded.He screamed "ah", and his skin seemed to form ice crystals for a moment, which reminded Eric of the Iceman in "X-Men".

No, it's not just this guy's own body, the ice crystals extended from under the man's trouser legs, covering the ground, revealing a biting chill.Eric's pupils closed, and there was almost no time to react. The instantly lowered temperature formed ice crystals on the armor's shell, like a crystal clear shell that firmly imprisoned him inside.

I was a little careless. I thought that the superpowers obtained by these infected people were very ordinary. I didn't expect this guy to be able to cause such a low temperature in an instant.

The armor is temporarily frozen, like a street ice sculpture.The core is running at high speed, the power of the power system of the limbs is fully activated, and the cracks climb up the ice crystals little by little, like an iceberg cracking.

"Crack!"

The ice sculpture shattered, the Alpha armor broke through the ice, and the debris splashed all over the ground.

But the man couldn't take it anymore.

The hooded man let out a miserable cry, fell to his knees with a "plop", opened his mouth, and vomited out a large ball of black vomit.He screamed "ah", his whole body twitched uncontrollably like an epileptic patient, and all his seven orifices emitted a dark blue light, as if a flash bomb had exploded in his cranial cavity.

Eric subconsciously raised his hand to block in front of him, the shock wave exploded centered on the man, and the banknotes flew like snowflakes along with the whirlwind.

Two seconds later, the light dissipated and the man stopped twitching.

Eric sighed slightly.

He died, like most of the infected.

24 hours ago, the guy suspected of Patrick Charlotte used a gas generating device to release a virus called "Armajo" across the city. The Avengers at the scene did their best to evacuate the nearby The masses, but became the first batch of infected people of the virus.

Captain America, the Hulk, and Ant-Man were paralyzed on the spot after being exposed to the virus. It seems that the virus will react like this once it comes into contact with superpowers.Among the Avengers, only Thor, who has the body of God, and Iron Man, who is protected by armor, escaped such a fate.Raven might have also been exposed to the virus, but Eric, who was right next to her, activated the green light mode to activate the shield in time to protect her from being exposed to the virus.

And when the virus acted on the first non-power user, it underwent an unknown mutation.

Infected ordinary people will experience flu-like symptoms during the first stage of infection.Immediately afterwards, the second stage will be entered, and the submerged virus will give the infected person random and indeterminate superpowers.

Then, in the final stage, the infected person's blood will gradually turn black as ink within 24 hours, the heart will explode, and the brain will boil to an excruciating death.

So, now, 24 hours later - full quarantine.
