Chapter 18: Sewers
"Good morning, Mr. Zhou, your newspaper." Early in the morning, a cute little guy pushed the door open and walked into the bar and placed a copy of the New York Times on the table at the door.
"Hey, Jimmy, there's bread and milk on the table, let's go when we're done." Kane smiled and greeted the little one, he was a child of a nearby family, because the security had been good recently, he took a newspaper delivery to supplement the family, Kane liked this well-behaved child very much, so he usually prepared a breakfast for him.
"No, Mr. Zhou, today's newspaper is late, I must finish it as soon as possible, thank you for the bread." Jimmy smiled at him, picked up the bread next to him, and rushed out of the bar.
Kane reached the door and picked up the milk, drinking it and picking up the newspaper as he could, but a picture on the front page made him stop drinking the milk immediately.
"Godzilla Invades New York, Spider-Man Saves the World" is the front page headline of today's newspaper, with a picture of a huge monster, covered in scales, lifting a car and throwing it into the sea, while Spider-Man is coming from the air in the distance, and the movement in his hand seems to be launching spider silk.
Dr. Lizard? This Spider-Man's enemy impressed Kane, he was not a bad person, and even had a great intention, but in the end he did something that endangered the safety of the people in the city, Kane was a little sympathetic to him, of course, the best way to save him was to stop him before he could do it, such as getting him back to normal, or being trapped in a bone prison.
Kane reads the newspaper and sees that Spider-Man, although he stopped Dr. Lizard's atrocities, has let him go in order to save the citizens, and the police have no clue about his tracks, Kane recalls that the doctor has hidden in the sewers and continues his research there.
Sewer? Frank! Bad, Kane thought of the punisher who also lived in the sewers, immediately threw down the newspaper, turned around and said hello to Li Guang, grabbed a bag of bread and barbecue, and rushed out of the bar.
Sewers, Punisher Base, Frank maintains weapons here as usual, usually he will nest here during the day, a large amount of water vapor in the sewers will accelerate the corrosion and aging of firearms, so he needs a lot of time to maintain his light and heavy weapons in this room, being a superhero is not as easy as imagined.
There was a slight breath in his ears, and in an instant, Frank picked up the Colt python on the table with the bullet on the table and turned on the safety and pointed it at the door.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." Kane stood there with his hands raised.
"Next time, make a sound sooner, or I can't guarantee that my hands won't tremble." Frank turned off the safety and put the gun back in place.
"Come on, make a noise earlier, you didn't take out a pistol, I don't know you yet." Kane threw the food on the table aside, "Oh, bring you something to eat, you are not afraid of malnutrition after eating military rations all day." ”
"The nutrition of the military rations is very balanced, and at most the taste is almost bad."
"Yes, but it's also very high in calories, and it can turn you from a small piece of fresh meat into an old piece of fat in four years." Kane looked at Frank's old picture and said, well, Frank is feeling a little impulsive to pick up a pistol again.
"You're here to deliver food?"
"No, I'm not that idle, look at today's paper." Kane threw the page on Dr. Lizard in front of Frank.
"What does this have to do with me?" Frank asked strangely after reading it.
"Please, think about it, a big guy who has done so much damage will definitely attract everyone's attention, and it can successfully avoid the police and the FBI, where do you think it will hide?"
"You mean, it's in the sewers?"
"It looks like a reptile, the cold, damp sewers are their favorite, and there's no camera here, otherwise why would you choose to hide here."
"Well, you're right." After a deep groan, Frank immediately assembled the maintenance assault rifle at hand and walked towards the combat uniform he hung on the side, "That guy may be here, I didn't find geckos or other reptiles in the room this morning, you know, there were at least 20 here, I thought it was an illusion, it seems to be because of that guy." ”
After getting fitted, Frank walked out first, "I'm only familiar with the sewers in a few neighborhoods, and it's hard to say anything farther away." ”
"It's okay, I'll open the Spirit Eye, that huge guy's soul won't be too small, as long as it comes within 100 yards I can spot it." Kane also covered his body with bone armor and took a few grenades, there were not so many dead bodies in the sewers for him to explode, and the opponent was only one person, so it was more convenient to use grenades.
As they make their way through the sewers, they find that all the reptiles they once saw everywhere have lost their tracks, leaving only rats to walk through them.
"We should have brought a lizard down and followed it, so we wouldn't have to wander around aimlessly." Frank lamented the good drainage system in New York City, and for two hours, they still haven't found anything.
"Maybe I can try." Frank's words reminded Kane that while they didn't have lizards on hand, there was absolutely no shortage of corpses in the sewers.
Kane found a young lizard that had just died in the water, injected a small amount of spirit power into it, and then a small bone lizard emerged from the water.
Looking at the little guy's toothpick-like bones, Frank couldn't help but be stunned, "What is this, Skeleton Dog?" ”
Kane rolled his eyes, "Even if I do summon a skeleton dog, it's useless, what can a dog without a nose do." The soul of these newly dead lizards has not yet dissipated, I have re-poured it into the bones, what the zoologists call animal instinct is the soul imprint for the Asma priests, and I hope that the big guy attracts the little lizard through their soul imprint, so that we can follow it to the right place. ”
Kane placed the skeletal lizard on the ground, and after a while, it began to get restless, and the skeletal head, which had lost its eyeballs, looked left and right, and then chose a direction and quickly crawled over.
"Luckily, keep up with it." Kane smiled at Frank and chased after him.
Following the little guy, Kane and Frank turned around and came to a road full of water, and there was a loud sound of water in front of them, indicating that there was a meeting of several sewers in front of them.
After some more distance, Kane suddenly stopped and grabbed Frank.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel a strong soul in front of me, get ready." Kane opened the Spirit Eye again, holding the Bone Scythe in his hand at the same time, and Frank also opened the safety of the rifle and aimed the muzzle in that direction.
