Chapter 70: The Thunderbolt of Overnight Fame

Ever since Ben inhaled the gas from the burning of the three-haired grass, it was as if he had fallen into a kind of dream, completely unaware of what had happened before. When he woke up the next day, he found himself in a bed in a small hotel in Brooklyn.

Ben felt like his mind was still a little drowsy, and he couldn't remember a lot of what happened last night. All he remembered was what he seemed to have promised to captain Victor at the tavern, and what had happened after that had become vague because of the hangover.

Looking around, it should be a hotel, and it seems that at least he is not drunk enough to sleep on the streets. Ben cleaned up briefly, took a shower, and walked out of the room.

After all, he had promised Victor, and of course Ben was going to meet that guy first. I feel a little sorry for Reed, but Ben needs a job to get himself back on his feet.

On the other hand, some of New York City's old neighborhoods are often too old and poorly designed, resulting in fire accidents. However, this time the fire broke out in a 43-storey building.

The building, which looked like it was built in the fifties of the last century, suddenly became full of smoke today, and the fire engine was already in place, but a violent explosion came from the burning floor.

The reporters had already arrived at the scene, and at this time, a meteor-like light in the sky shot straight in, and then they saw a figure on fire appear in the meteor.

I saw that after the burning man got in, the fire in the room that was still burning began to be absorbed into his body by the burning man. And at this time, the firefighters also climbed in from the stairs.

They watched in amazement, the burning man devouring flames that ordinary people couldn't even get close to. And he also picked up a frightened and shivering girl from a room.

One of the young firefighters seemed to recognize the identity of the burning man, and he excitedly shouted, "Is that you?" Thunderbolt! Oh my God, you're my idol. ”

Johnny beckoned to the young firefighter and handed him the girl in his arms, saying, "I'll go see if there are any survivors in the other rooms." ”

The firefighters were able to rescue the survivors from the building, and it was a little incredulous. Although I had already learned about Thunderbolt from the report, there were several other scientists who were doing research in outer space.

But after all, in this day and age, the news is true and false, and even big media such as CNN often report some news that is not true or false to attract the public's attention.

But today, these New Yorkers saw Johnny Thunderbolt fall from the sky in the Fantastic Four uniform, and then fly away like Superman in a flame of fire.

So Johnny became really famous all of a sudden, and the media went crazy to report it, and for Reed, they once again found that the door to the Baskert building where they were located was blocked.

Susan looked at the media reports, and although she had some complaints about Johnny's actions, after all, he was doing heroic acts, so she only cared a few words on the phone.

Now Johnny, he's having a drink in a bar with two sexy models in his arms. But he didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

In a secret laboratory of the Fangdu Group, three strong men in black tight-fitting uniforms with knotted muscles are being detected by probes from various instruments.

Doom's figure appeared next to the head of the laboratory, "How are our experiments now?" ”

"Their physical fitness has improved by at least five times compared to the original, and they are much stronger than those super-soldier semi-finished products that the military secretly researched."

"Very good, then let's use actual combat to test their combat effectiveness."

"Mr. Doom, are you going to put them in the Middle East, which is now in turmoil?"

"No, no, no, our company makes products. It has to be sensational. And who is the most sensational person in all of New York right now? ”

"The Burning Man?"

Johnny felt that today was more enjoyable than usual, but he had done a good deed, and it would be more exciting to be grateful. This made him feel a little empty and lonely after a night of passion.

It is true that he has now flown solo, but the only person in this world who really cares about and understands him is Susan. Of course, Reed is also a good person, and that Lin is also a good partner. And Ben, who should have recovered to the past by now.

Johnny thinks it's time to go back, but as he walks down a bustling New York street, he subconsciously feels like he's being followed.

For this kind of thing, Johnny actually expected it. After all, he showed ability, and it was impossible not to attract the attention of some people. But he was not afraid of this, and instead quickened his pace.

With the help of the reflection of a glass door in front of him, he saw a tall black man in a black suit following behind him.

This makes Johnny a little unhappy, and it seems that the person who secretly sends someone to follow him is definitely not a good purpose. So Johnny walked down an alley on the side of the road, and he was going to get rid of the amateur stalker first.

When Johnny walked into the alley, the tall black man followed. He asked expressionlessly, "Thunderbolt Johnny!" ”

"It's me, so what?"

"That's good, I'm afraid of hurting the wrong person."

Before Johnny could react, the black man struck first. His stature looks like one of those who play rugby, but he's very fast and very agile.

Before Johnny could let the power of the flames fill his entire body, he was punched by the black man and flew out and loaded on top of a car parked at the mouth of the alley.

Although if a normal person is hit by a punch of such strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to move. But Johnny's physical fitness is much better than normal, and his anger has heated his body to the point where it is starting to emit waves of fire.

"Very well, sure enough, there are two hits. But you're not enough! Your fists are so much worse than Ben. ”

The blazing thunderbolt is not as easy to deal with as before. But this black strong man was obviously not the only one, and there were soon two more people next to him, and these two guys were also very tall and strong, at least they looked stronger than Johnny. One of them was also black, but he had a shaved head. The other is a strong white man.

The three of them surrounded Johnny, and some of the onlookers who were not afraid of making a big deal had already raised their mobile phones. Some people have even recognized it as a thunderbolt.

You know, the Thunderbolt has been in the limelight lately, and it has been regarded as a symbol of the city by New Yorkers. Especially Johnny, this guy is still very flamboyant and very popular with young people.

Johnny's fire grew brighter as he heard the men chanting his name and nickname. The three brawny men seemed to be undaunted at all, and one of them had an extra metal stick in his hand and smashed it towards Johnny. The other two were very fast, and their fists were already close to Johnny's body.

These onlookers couldn't help but exclaim, and at this moment, the fierce fire spread, and a figure rose from the ground in the heat, and Johnny flew directly into the air.

He looked at the three men and laughed, "I seem to have forgotten that you stupid bears can't fly." ”

However, Johnny's flight seemed to be a little low, and the bald man suddenly jumped high and climbed directly onto a lamppost on the side of the road, and he was as nimble as a monkey, and quickly climbed to the top of the lamppost. Then suddenly a black net erupted from his hand, and it enveloped Johnny.

Johnny was always on the alert, his figure speeding up to dodge the black net, but some of it landed on him and was wiped clean by its flames.

But Johnny sensed a gust of wind behind him, and it turned out that another big man actually pulled up a lamppost on the side of the road and smashed it at him, who was still suspended in midair.

At this moment, the siren sounded in the distance, but the three strong men didn't seem to care at all. The other also pulled up a lamppost and threw it at Johnny.

This made Johnny flee to the sky for a while, knowing that although he could erupt flames, he could even absorb them. But in terms of strength, they can't compare to these three guys who look like freaks.

But these three guys are obviously aiming for themselves, so just run away. However, at this moment, Johnny's violent sense of crisis made Johnny immediately realize that the danger was not over.

Sure enough, a missile dragged the tail of the flame towards Johnny. This made Johnny immediately aware of the presence of a heat-tracking device on the missile. And now he is the best target for this missile.

Johnny sped through the buildings in New York as the flaming missile caught up. Johnny knew he was a little worse than the missile.

This made him desperately wish he could be faster, and he fled in the direction of New York Harbor, where there was an ocean that Johnny could use to avoid the missile.

But apparently time was running out of the question, unless there was a way for him to avoid the missile. Just then, a cargo ship carrying garbage appeared in front of it. Johnny immediately realized it was a good opportunity.

A ball of flame erupted from his fist, igniting the junk boat directly, and he burrowed into the flames. The missile hit the garbage boat, but Johnny dodged it, who had already jumped into the water.

At this time, the three modified monsters had a violent confrontation with the New York police, who found that their pistols could not threaten the three freaks at all.

However, the three freaks don't seem to want to make a big deal out of it, after all, Johnny is gone. So, as if instructed to do something, they burst through the police encirclement and slipped into a nearby dimly lit alley.

The police were already frightened by the exaggerated combat power of the three monsters, and when they came to their senses, they could not find any trace of these three guys. But the consequences of this incident are fermenting.
