Chapter 25: September 21 (Third Watch)
"Roland, shall we go to the jewelry store later? The store around the corner recently recently bought a batch of bohemian jewelry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "It's time for the end of school at Metropolitan High School.
Although these students are already in their third year of high school, universities in the United States do not fully look at the JAE scores, and some people, like Li Jie, are not ready to go to college.
So everyone's study pressure is not particularly heavy. So a girl is inviting her friends to go shopping after school.
The girl named Roland is very quiet, she has long brown-black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a very divine feeling.
The lips are not covered with lipstick, but they also have a healthy and beautiful red color.
Hearing her friend's invitation, she smiled faintly. "I think it should be possible, but today we better go home early. ”
"Why? Are your parents afraid you're going to ban you too late?" said the girl with a laugh. "Let's go Roland, I think we might have time to watch a movie before we go home after we finish the jewelry. ”
In the class next door to Roland, Li Jie and Peter were also packing their things for the end of school.
"Did you warn Gwen? Tonight is a vampire carnival and she'd better not go out. Li Jie packed his schoolbag and walked to Peter's side and asked in a low voice.
"Oh~ I reminded, she wanted to know why, but I didn't know how to explain it. Although she promised that she would stay home tonight and convince her family to be there too, she asked me to explain what it was for afterwards. ”
Peter scratched his head in annoyance, Gwen was a very autonomous and independent girl. She believed that Peter's actions must have made sense, but she needed an explanation.
So she agrees to Peter's offer to let her stay home tonight, but needs a reasonable explanation, which really bothers Peter about how to tell Gwen about tonight's special situation.
"Alright man, let's get past this first. Li Jie patted Peter on the shoulder, and the two walked out of the classroom together.
Just out of the classroom, a girl who was running down the hallway almost ran into two people.
However, Li Jie and Peter reacted quickly, and they both dodged the girl. But the girl was startled by the sudden appearance of the two, and her feet slipped and almost fell.
"Oh~ girl, be careful. Li Jie and Peter reached out to support the girl at the same time.
"Wendy~ I said you don't have to be in such a hurry, the phone must still be in the classroom. A girl who caught up behind was panting and said, it was Roland and her friend.
"Oh ~ thank you ~ thank you. The girl named Wendy glanced at Li Jie with some embarrassment, completely ignoring Peter next to her.
"Are you alright, Wendy?" Roland asked, walking up to Wendy.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go Roland. As she spoke, Wendy wanted to take Roland out of here, but glanced back at Li Jie.
Roland also glanced back at Li Jie curiously, his pupils didn't shrink a little, and then dilated again. There was some puzzled look in his eyes.
"Oh~ dude, it looks like you're confused about this girl. Peter watched as the two girls walked into the next classroom and elbowed Lee Kit in the chest.
"No way, I'm just so attractive. Li Jie also said directly without shame.
Peter makes a look of can't stand you and pretends to vomit. The two left the school in a fight.
Because of the previous speculation, everyone thought that on the vampire carnival on September 21, the vampire would definitely come out to do something, so Li Jie and Peter had been prepared for a long time.
Li Jie specially drove to pick up his grandfather Li Rong today, went home early to rest, and went to Mr. Li Restaurant to replace his grandfather, and the restaurant is generally open until 9 o'clock in the evening.
Li Jie went home to take a shower after the restaurant closed, and then pretended to be tired and went to rest early. Then he locked the door of his room and sneaked out of the house.
Inside the Nightkin base, several people who are now grouped together for various reasons are standing at the conference table.
"These are my earbuds that I made the other day. As Peter spoke, he pulled out a couple of earplugs and placed them on the table.
"With a very small signal amplification device, we can guarantee our long-distance radio communication. ”
"And there are also several special channels built in, which are a collection of New York police stations, police radio contact stations, SWAT special channels, and several other government agencies. ”
"We can use these earbuds to listen to what's going on in New York City as soon as possible. ”
Li Jie picked up an earbud and a signal amplification device to put on himself, and several other people put on headphones.
"Well done, Spider-Man. Damon put on his headphones and complimented.
"It was thanks to a retired police officer who provided me with so much useful information about the police force and various government departments. Peter pointed at Damon and made a pose, you know.
Everyone laughed softly, and the only one with a bitter face was Mindy, who was doing her homework in the distance.
Frank has already connected her with a school, and she is currently in the sixth grade of primary school, but she has fallen behind a lot of schoolwork, so Peter and Li Jie have been making up for her.
But the good thing is that Mindy is very smart and a quick learner.
"Nightkin what do you think we should do. In the past, Frank was responsible for directing operations and assigning tasks, but this time he asked Li Jie to speak.
This is what Frank is trying to groom for Jack. During the days when he was with Li Jie, Frank thought Li Jie was a man of manufacturability.
There is enough sense of justice in his heart, and he is not too kind like Peter, nor too tyrannical like himself.
The only thing lacking is that the strength is not strong enough, and there is a lack of experience.
But it can all be accumulated over time, so Frank tries to make Lee Kit the leader of the team, not himself.
Li Jie sorted out his thoughts and spoke. "There are only four of us, and it's clear that it's impossible to spread out all of New York to restrain the vampires. ”
"Even the whole Queens borough where the four of us were stretched thin to defend. ”
"So I personally think we can only focus on surveillance, and we can only regulate Queens in the first place. ”
"Frank and Damon, along with me, are scattered around Queens, and Spider-Man is the fastest in the city, ready to be a firefighter. ”
"If there's somewhere we need support, or if we can't get there, I'm going to ask you. Li Jie said and looked at Peter.
"Okay, I understand, but if we're only in charge of Queens, what if there's a vampire attack in the other boroughs?" asked Peter.
"We can't save everybody, and sometimes we have to make trade-offs. There was some helplessness in Li Jie's tone.
And this sentence made Peter secretly clench his fist.
"Spider-Man, don't worry too much, although the government is very incompetent, not everyone will sit still. Frank said, glancing at Peter.
"At least S.H.I.E.L.D. will send more people to patrol tonight, so be careful not to mess with the S.H.I.E.L.D. people. Frank reminded.
"Okay~ Gentlemen, let's act. We're going to be busy tonight. Finally, in Li Jie's shouting, everyone left the base and stepped into the vast night.
