Chapter 61: How the Fantastic Four Were Born

At this time, the stone man was in big trouble. He felt sorry for himself, and felt that he had become a monster and was ashamed to see people. Next to him, a man was ready to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Like the high-paid white-collar workers living in the Manhattan area, while receiving a super high salary, the work pressure can easily overwhelm a person.

The stone man tried to dissuade the man from committing suicide, but the frightened other party fell in the middle of the road with him. As a result, a series of traffic accidents were directly triggered.

When the head of a freight truck was about to hit the middle-aged man who had fallen in the middle of the road, the stone man hit the oncoming truck directly over the shoulder.

Under the effect of the strange power of the stone man, I saw that the front of the car began to deform violently, and then the cylinder began to burst into flames, and then the entire front of the car directly turned into a mass of scrap metal.

I have to say that the stone man has given up hope in life in order to save a stockholder, and may even be a shareholder who has just seen himself turn from a rich man to a poor egg, causing a traffic accident that may lead to dozens of cars being rear-ended and hundreds of people's lives being threatened.

Perhaps this kind of behavior is called superheroism.

Of course, for the stone man, he now feels that at least he is still useful, although he has done something wrong with good intentions. But it can be saved. Anyway, the nerves of New Yorkers are very big, and they are lying on the railings around them, watching this gripping "show".

Of course, there is only one leading actor at present, and the other three have not yet arrived. Accidents happen one after another, just like now, a truck carrying a high-explosive gas cylinder crashed into a nearby fence before it could dodge, followed by several taxis.

After all, superheroes always need to have some big scenes, right, so a series of sudden vicious rear-end traffic accidents happened in the case of the stone man's sudden kindness, and then caused a series of traffic jams.

The onlookers didn't think about it, they just thought wow, you see, that stone man, he saved a person's life, he's amazing.

Now with the road racing, the four people who were anxious to find Ben had to be forced to get out of the taxi, except for Lin Ming, they didn't know what was going on in front of them.

The stone man was now being pointed at by the onlookers, and at the same time, a group of drivers who had just come back to their senses were frightened by this monster and scattered in all directions. Someone has already started to call the police, although the NYPD in the movie world is always not so reliable, but at least it can be regarded as psychological comfort.

This time, the police arrived in time and cordoned off the scene. And the onlookers were in chaos at this time. Journalists, the media and the like are already swarming like flies that smell the smell.

And Reed and his party of four also rushed to the scene of the incident at this time, and they had already vaguely seen Ben's figure. But because of the police siege, only two people were able to pass through the blockade.

Lin Ming nodded towards Reed, his figure flashed, and everyone only noticed a gust of wind whistling by, but they didn't notice that someone had just passed by them.

Stone Man Ben was pointed at the body by those New York police officers with guns at this time, obviously there is only one way for these guys to deal with things, that is, if one shot can't solve it, then two shots.

Of course, if a lot of guns can't be solved, it could be the Terminator. However, although the Stone Man is not a Terminator, he is just as resistant to beating as a Terminator.

At this moment, one of the gas cylinders that had hit the ground suddenly exploded due to the sparks generated by friction and the fuel leaking from the cars on the ground.

At this time, Johnny Thunderbolt saw a teenager trapped in those cars, and he immediately rushed to it, holding the teenager in his arms, preventing the tragedy from happening.

At this time, Lin Ming had already used his high speed to grab and rescue some other passengers and drivers who were trapped in the vehicles at the scene one by one. After all, at this time, since he could use his ability to save people's lives, Lin Ming would never be stingy to save them.

I have to say that this feeling of being a superhero is still quite good, especially when danger is coming and ordinary people are completely powerless to resist. And you only need to raise your hand to neutralize this threat.

However, the explosion triggered a series of explosions.

At this moment, a fire truck just rushed to the scene, but because it was trying to avoid the explosion, a car flew off, like a fly without a head, the front of the car was crooked, the rear of the car suddenly skidd, and it was directly inclined to the side of the bridge and sped away, the rear of the car broke the guardrail of the bridge, and it was about to fall directly.

At this moment, the chain of explosions caused by the gas cylinder continued, and this time, an invisible energy force field was released from the hands of the invisible woman Susan, who bore the brunt of the attack.

Originally, those onlookers were going to experience a tragic end comparable to the strafing of a metal storm, but the explosion was wrapped in this force field, trapped in a small range.

I have to say that superheroes are specially born for big scenes. Susan couldn't control her ability freely before, but now she can actually create a protective force field shield with a range of tens of meters.

And under the protection of this huge shield, those big-hearted onlookers were not blown up and turned into charred corpses because of this.

The crisis encountered by the fire truck was not over, when the rear of the car hit the bridge railing hard, the violent concussion caused a firefighter to be thrown out of the car.

He frantically grabbed around and finally grabbed a sharp corner of the rear of the fire truck, but what was thrown out of the car fell into the rushing drinking water below, splashing a huge wave.

However, when the firefighters in the car went to rescue their companions, the center of gravity was unstable because most of the fire trucks were outside the bridge, and they were about to fall down.

At this time, the "culprit" who caused this series of accidents, the stone man, grabbed the front of the fire truck and dragged it towards the bridge.

However, the firefighter who grabbed the back of the car with both hands was on the verge of falling because the vehicle was shaking. At this time, Mr. Fantastic Reed used his ability to extend freely in time.

With his arms and body extended, he grabbed the firefighter's body and pulled him back from mid-air.

On the other hand, the stone man also made up for the series of accidents caused by himself, and he dragged the fire truck, which weighed more than a dozen people, back to a safe place from its original crumbling state.

From this moment on, under the gaze of the onlookers, media reporters, and the indispensable police, four scientists engaged in scientific research who were originally unknown and difficult for the public to access became public celebrities and superheroes.

Of course, Lin Ming had quietly hidden himself, and he had no plans to become famous, although he was also involved. But the thing of showing his face is still left to the protagonist of the original book to do.

After all, for Lin Ming, his purpose was to find Mr. Magic to help him do his research. Rather than being a character who is noticed by the public and the media.

So in the makeshift shed set up by the police and the fire brigade, Reed and they were being questioned by the police. In fact, among the four at this time, the stone man's mood was the most complicated. Because his wife, Debbie, dropped the wedding ring directly on the scene. And Reed and Susan haven't figured out what it means, and even Reed has said that they are both scientists and don't want to make this public. In fact, for Lin Ming, it doesn't matter whether the Fantastic Four are famous or not, what he cares about is his space, as well as the relationship between the fantasy world and the real world.

When the captain of the fire brigade turned on the TV, showing the reporter's report on the appearance of the Fantastic Four, he told them, "It's too late, look, you've become a public figure!" It's their new name for you, the Fantastic Four. ”

Johnny, on the other hand, is most concerned about this kind of famous thing. So after he saw the reporter's report, he immediately decided to meet with the media, and he thought that he should explain the matter clearly in public.

However, he was grabbed by Lin Ming, who was faster, "I think now, you should consider everyone's suggestions, it's more appropriate." Even if you want to be famous, you shouldn't choose this time. ”

"No, I think it's a better time now."

Johnny shook off Lin Ming and rushed out. In fact, Lin Ming didn't strongly stop it, and sure enough, Mr. Fantastic and Su also chased after him. Apparently Mr. Fantastic Reid also thinks it's better to explain things to the public first.

But Lin Ming didn't follow up, because he understood that the public and the media didn't care what kind of scientist you were at all, and you gained your abilities because of an accident. They care about how capable you are and what you are prepared to do. Are you cool or not, what are your hobbies. It's an information age, a special moment when the masses need exciting news every day to feel as if they're alive.

So from the moment the Fantastic Four went to the public, they obviously had different characteristics from those superheroes in the past.

Superman can have an identity as Clark Kent as a cover, and Spider-Man can live with an identity of Peter Parker among ordinary people. However, as soon as the Fantastic Four began, they received a lot of media attention. And now, with the accident, after the four of them have shown off their cool superpowers, this attention has risen directly to a new level.

The media had a strong desire to know what the supermen among the mortals were and what they wanted to do. What's more, in addition to Stone Man and Reed, there are two idols in the Fantastic Four.

Of course, Lin Ming thought that these reporters did not pay attention to him, but it is clear that the development of the media and the pervasiveness of cameras did not ignore him. In fact, there are already reporters asking who the Asian who follows the Fantastic Four is. Could it be that he also has superpowers, or some kind of sorcery that he learned from the mysterious East?
