Chapter 3: The tragicomedy of the one-legged female man

Marvel World, the Empire State Building in Manhattan, New York, was once the tallest building in the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even on Manhattan's skyscraper-packed Fifth Street, the Empire State Building still stands out from the crowd — though it's a little shorter than the Twin Towers farther south. And, judging by the frequency of destruction in New York and the rate at which Manhattan's skyscrapers are being replaced, the Empire State Building's height record is expected to be surpassed by many other tall buildings soon.

On the roof of the Empire State Building, a minaret was built, and it is said that many years ago, the famous big monkey called "King Kong" flew here. On the 86th floor below the minaret, there is an open-air viewing platform surrounded by a ring of tempered glass, colored lights and coin-operated binoculars, allowing visitors from all over the world to get a bird's-eye view of the bustling streets of New York.

And now, the terrace of the Empire State Building has become an excellent auditorium to watch an "alien invasion" or "defense of the earth" - at this moment, many tourists from all over the world, from eighty years old to three-year-olds, all colors and languages, are enthusiastically huddled next to the tempered glass curtain wall of the roof terrace of the Empire State Building, each holding up various styles of tablets, mobile phones, video cameras and cameras, facing the smoke near the Stark Industrial Building not far away. The main battlefield with explosions is non-stop.

And the coin-operated binoculars that sit on the terraces are just as crowded, and everyone is vying to see heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, and the Hulk in battle – New Yorkers have seen so much of the battle scenes of the great showdown between good and evil that they are almost numb. The other tourists were not unaware that they were in danger and could be swept away by the storm of war at any time, but since the bombs had not yet been dropped on their heads, they did not feel the bloodshed and cruelty of the war so quickly. Instead, they seem to have seen it as a glamorous carnival or a thrilling underground black boxing show, while they themselves were spectators cheering and betting in the stands.

However, Mary Don, a retired female soldier who was also trapped in the Empire State Building, was not interested in watching the exciting fights of the Avengers superheroes at all. With a lot of experience in the battlefields of Afghanistan, she knew that this place was hard to stay for long - although the Empire State Building was still some distance from the main battlefield of the Avengers' fierce fight against aliens, it was only a few streets, and a single shell was enough to hit it. If any alien is allowed to land on the roof of the building on a solo flying machine, then I am afraid that there is nowhere to hide!

Unfortunately, despite this, the current retired female soldier Tang Marie still can't do anything, and even can't move while sitting on the floor.

Because, the smart prosthetic leg she bought seemed to have serious quality problems, and it was broken into several pieces in the crowd just now.

And the companions who accompanied Don Mary to the Empire State Building left her very unrighteously and fled without knowing where to go.

“…… Oh! Damn it! Zhang Lihua's **** raised little Bichi! Actually sold such a broken thing to the old lady! And Qi Jiande, you are even more hateful! I actually ran away on my own! Don't let the old lady meet you next time! Otherwise be careful I cut off your finger and stuff it into your asshole! ”

Looking at the broken prosthetic leg, Tang Marie couldn't help but slap the ground angrily and scolded.

Well, by the way, Don Mary is not a native of this world, but a time-traveler from the "world outside the box".

However, she has been living a difficult life for several years in this obviously overcrowded Marvel world......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I remember that it was a sunny and dusty day, and Mary Tang from Hong Kong, along with thirteen other unlucky newcomers, was suddenly popped up on the computer screen, "Do you want to understand the meaning of life?" Want to ...... Alive? yes/no" dialog box was thrown into infinite space, and then it was left by the main god system in a weather-beaten looking US military truck next to a US military base in southern Afghanistan.

In the car, several rugged-looking veterans told them that this was the plot world of "Iron Man 1", and in a certain Hummer car in front of them, Tony, who had not yet become Iron Man, was sitting. Stark. The identity assigned to them by the Lord God is that they are all Chinese soldiers in the US military in Afghanistan, and they are now ordered to escort Tony, the arms tycoon. Stark leaves ...... According to the plot, the next step is to be attacked by terrorists, I hope everyone is prepared.

In short, after some doubts, disbelief, hysteria and even mental collapse, in the face of the shock of gunpoint and death, Tang Mary and other fourteen newcomers finally accepted the facts, changed into the desert camouflage uniform of the US army, and prepared to start their first adventure in infinite space.

Well, it is also said to be an adventure with the highest mortality rate.

But the problem is that less than a minute after the truck was driven, another unexpected mutation occurred that brought everything to an abrupt halt.

――“…… The main god is turned off, the scene is over, and all the reincarnators are forced to pop up! ”

With this monotonous and mechanical voice, under the jaw-dropping eyes of the newcomers, all the veterans disappeared without a trace in an instant! All right! It's a good thing to be able to end this game of death halfway, but when you veterans leave, why did you leave us newcomers behind?

What's even worse is that one of the veterans who was ejected was the driver of this military truck!

Moreover, the person sitting in the passenger seat at that time was also another veteran. All fourteen newcomers sat in the back of the car. So, when the above happened, the remaining newcomers simply didn't have time to take the steering wheel!

So the next moment, the unmanned truck went straight down the desert road and plunged into a bunker...... Luckily, the truck's fuel tank did not explode and the passengers were not seriously injured. Luckily, due to the car accident, the newcomers were left behind and away from the escort Tony. Stark's street fighting team then broke away from the main plot line of "Iron Man", and was not completely wiped out by the ambushed "Ten Commandments" terrorists like the American troops in the other two Humvees, but waited for the rescue of the base in place.

But unfortunately, they also have to continue to serve in the US military bases in Afghanistan, carrying out all kinds of dangerous missions in the midst of bullets and bullets all day long, and cannot return to the United States to watch the drama or enjoy life - deserters in the army of the country of hope for democracy and freedom are also punishable by death!

What's worse is that the situation of the US military in the Middle East in this time and space is very different from the situation in the real world. The main opponents in the brutal tug-of-war with the US military for a long time are not the extremist groups that al-Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS and other time-traveling people have heard of in the news, but the "Ten Commandments" and other unheard of things. Not to mention the course of the war and the strategic situation, even the geographical situation, the territory of the country and the distribution of ethnic groups, which are different from the world in which they live. In this way, the historical prediction ability as a "traverser golden finger" is completely useless.

To add insult to injury, in the Marvel world, the anti-American resistance in the Middle East is generally many times stronger than in the real world, and the U.S. military has suffered heavy casualties here. And the newcomers who lack military literacy are obviously the unlucky ones who die the fastest on the battlefield. Seven people were killed in battle, or were captured and beheaded by terrorists; An unlucky guy died in a crash. Another brother returned to the United States after retiring from the army, but before he could enjoy his life, he fell ill with cancer because he played too much depleted uranium ammunition on the front line, and died of illness seven months after retirement.

As a female soldier who was routinely cared for to a certain extent, Mary Tang finally survived the battlefield in Afghanistan all the way, but she also endured countless sexual ♂ harassments during the period, which can be described as bittersweet and joyful. In the end, she seems to have finally run out of luck, and unfortunately on the last day before returning home, she was hit by a roadside bomb on patrol, leaving half of Don Marie's left leg in Afghanistan forever......

But no matter what, Don Mary, who was missing a leg, left the battlefield in Afghanistan alive and returned to New York, USA. Then, another female traveler, Zhang Lihua, who retired from the army and returned to China a few months earlier, warmly invited Mary Tang to come to her small apartment in New York's Chinatown, and also sold her a new intelligent prosthetic leg - Zhang Lihua had just found a job as a salesman in a company that produced prosthetic limbs.

――Actually, it's not that you don't know that New York in the Marvel world is dangerous, but the problem is that in the context of the global economic crisis and the outbreak of unemployment, it is relatively easy for retired GIs to find jobs only in New York, which is constantly destroying and rebuilding every day...... Besides, after so many years on the battlefield, these former rookies have already trained their guts, and they are not so afraid of death.

In addition, it is difficult for them to judge where the plot has gone just by relying on the news information published in newspapers and magazines. And as time passed, the memories they had in their minds were almost blurred - not to mention that some of them hadn't seen the Marvel movies at all!

Next, Tang Mary's boyfriend, Qi Jiande, who is also a traverser, also returned from retiring from the front line. Don Marie ran to the airport to greet him and dragged him around the streets of Manhattan...... Unexpectedly, when they lined up to get on the elevator and ascended to the roof platform of the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, they suddenly saw a pillar of blue light piercing through the sky and the earth, tearing through the sky!

Seeing this, Qi Jiande seemed to remember the plot, and immediately exposed his bad nature, and immediately screamed, and then left his disabled girlfriend in despair, turned around and went down the stairs, and ran wildly to the floor below!

Although Tang Marie was so angry that she wanted to flee, she fell to the ground unsteadily and broke her prosthetic leg. And in this situation, she has nowhere to call for help, so she has to sit on the floor and curse while praying that God will bless her and not let the aliens kill her......

However, although Tang Marie, a one-legged female man, did not expect any savior to fall from the sky, her savior actually came!

--I saw two unkempt Asian men, one old and one young, holding a strange cane, suddenly stumbling in front of her, and then bending down and whispering in Mandarin Chinese, "...... Ahem, hello, is it Miss Mary Don? ”

“…… Belch...... I am. She blinked, realizing as if she had never seen these two guys before," ...... ...... are you? ”

“…… Long story short! Miss Don Marie, please stay calm, we have come from the other side of the world to rescue your ......"

Political Commissar Guo looked up and looked around, and found that there were no bystanders, so he leaned into Tang Marie's ear and explained in a low voice, "...... You have suffered in this world, please rest assured that the party and the country will never give up on any of your compatriots, and will definitely let you return home safely......"

Suddenly, the one-legged female man Tang Mary was stunned at first, and then burst into tears......
