Chapter 22: The Turbulence of Time
Time flies, and two years have passed since such a happy and warm day.
Summer has arrived, and a lot has changed in the past two years.
Ivan is sixteen years old, and in addition to growing a lot, exercise has also given him some muscles.
Jessica has become even cooler, reaching a height of 1.74 meters, and in addition to her daily self-reaction training, she also learned street fighting techniques from Lucas, a gangster.
When she saw Tony Stark say "I'm Iron Man" at the press conference on the screen, she smiled and asked Ivan, "Should I also have a resounding hero name?"
Ivan said yes, how about the Black Iron Rider?
Ivan figured out Jessica's hobby, which was to like cool, and he estimated that the name was cool enough, and she would definitely like it.
Sure enough, Jessica snapped her fingers and said it was nice and cool enough.
As a result, in order to match this title, she rarely wore anything other than black from then on...
This summer, Ivan is living in New York, mainly to take care of the orchard, yes, his land has been bought, and all kinds of fruit trees have been planted, in addition to Karen, Angel has also been pulled in by Ivan, and the two of them are responsible for wholesale and sales.
The fruit growers are composed of three people.
Jessica wasn't idle, she also wanted to make some money, so she worked part-time at a moving company in New York during the summer, and has been doing it for two weeks now.
Evening.
"Jones, come alive!"
A short man in short-sleeved shorts walked into the break room, calling Jessica's last name.
At this moment, Jessica was reading her favorite detective novel "Sherlock Holmes" on a bench in the lounge, and was interrupted at the beginning of the excitement, she frowned, and then nodded.
"Got it."
"Hurry up, hurry." The short man made a loud noise on the door frame, signaling to hurry.
Closing the book, Jessica flipped up from her chair, she wore a black women's leather jacket on top, black jeans on the bottom, and long black hair with a shawl, which was cool.
It's not like a mover.
The white truck was parked right outside the company, and the short man was already waiting for her in the driver's seat.
"Hurry up! Can you..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
A hint of anger flashed between Jessica's eyebrows, she was rarely polite to outsiders, especially when Ivan wasn't by her side...
Her tenderness will be gone.
She walked to the right side of the front of the car with a cold face, reached out and pulled the door, and with a 'click', the whole door was pulled down by her, and there was a moment of sparks.
After that, she jumped into the car and calmly put the door back in place.
The short man glared: "Did you break the car door again?" ”
"Isn't it urgent to drive?"
"Do you know what happens if I tell my boss?"
"I'll fix it." Jessica said lightly, she still had the detective novel in her hand, and at the moment she turned it over with a cold face, and continued to watch the wonderful part of solving the case.
"Unreasonable."
The short man started the truck, and he didn't dare to say too much, after all, he knew that the woman next to him was a freak, a freak in strength.
Originally, as a mover, they were all in pairs, and it was a good thing that the partner had a lot of strength, but he felt that Jessica was too tired to work, and it was not that she had no strength, so she moved a piece of furniture slowly.
There is not much work, and dozens of partners in the company are rushing to do work, doing more things to make more money... Still pretending to be elegant?
He cursed in his heart: This bitch, if it weren't for her grinding, I would have earned 50% more every day, and I really want to tear up the novel in her hand.
The moving truck was on its way to the client's house, and everything was normal.
But after a while, the short man who was driving in the main driver's seat frowned, he felt that something was wrong.
There were fewer people on the street, fewer cars, and the cars were driving in the opposite direction from him, and some of the cars were driving in a hurry.
With suspicion, he continued to drive on.
As he drove on, he heard a constant noise in front of him, like gunshots.
"Won't it?" The dwarf muttered to himself.
Jessica also heard the gunshots, and she looked up and saw that there was a lot of confusion ahead, and a wave of people was rushing back, and some people were running past the truck, not afraid of being hit.
"There is a criminal gang robbing the bank?"
The short man sneered, but stopped the car anyway, because the gunfire in front of him was getting louder and louder, and it was easy to be affected if he got closer.
Still, he felt safe here.
This is not a small street where gangs can run wild, this is the top security Fifth Avenue of New York! Which deadly gang would dare to play like this?
He felt that soon the criminal gangs would be suppressed, and that most of these intensive gunshots should belong to the police and be just.
'Bang', there was the sound of artillery fire ahead, and black smoke gradually filled.
A blazing sedan slammed into the façade of a fishing tackle shop on the left in an elegant arc in mid-air, followed by a 'bang', the fuel tank exploded, and the flames set the entire store on fire.
Jessica squinted her eyes and subconsciously closed the detective novel in her hand.
The short man turned to Jessica and said, "It's a detour, but it's going to cost a lot more fuel." ”
He stared at Jessica and said, "Actually, it's not because of you, I can make more money every day, so the extra fuel is counted in your salary, okay?" Or is it..."
He noticed that Jessica's mouth was slightly wide open, her eyes became startled, and she quickly turned her head to look ahead... I saw a car coming onto me and smashed it on the windshield!
With a 'bang', the glass couldn't withstand such a strong impact, and it burst into pieces and smashed into the flesh of the short man, embedded in it.
Jessica reacted quickly and bent down in time to avoid it, and as it was, her leather jacket on her back was also covered with glass shards.
Her heart was beating violently, and she got up and looked out, and there was no one on the street for a long time, only a monster standing in the middle of the road
It's huge.
The potted dark yellow skin, the fin-like ears, the strange spine protruding from the back, and the small pupils contain small green eyes.
Despite this, Jessica, whose heart was beating violently, felt that the monster was watching her.
Only one's own living life can be watched by it.
She gasped slightly, and turned her head to look at the short man in the driver's seat, who stared... The neck, the face, it's all in pieces! Bleeding constantly.
He's dead!
The monster was holding a soldier in its right hand, and it threw the soldier away, and then walked towards Jessica step by step.
The roar of the helicopter in the sky went from far to near, and then the monster's body kept emitting a 'bell-bell' body, which was the sound of bullets hitting its hard skin, and it was not afraid of bullets!
The dense suppression of fire in the air seemed to be a joke, and it didn't even show pain.
Cracks in the ground were trampled in, and it roared and sped towards Jessica's truck.
Her pupils contracted suddenly, and Jessica felt her pores erect and her adrenaline soaring, and she slammed the car door and quickly jumped out of the truck.
With a loud bang, the big truck was punched by the monster and flew twenty meters away.
Seeing all this, she kept backing away, but the monster turned again and turned its gaze at her.
Behind, there is no way back.
She gritted her teeth and picked up a car beside her and lifted it above her head.
"Don't come here!" She roared instinctively and menacingly.
The monster's pupils flickered twice, as if surprised, and it walked curiously towards Jessica, this human woman can also lift a car?
