Chapter 52: Power Cut
The night covers New York City, and the whole city sleeps in a dark silence, but for the citizens of New York, the night is just another color of the city, and the bright lights illuminate the night but cannot dispel the darkness and evil hidden under the night, and the evil seems to be stirring up in the city under the night sky.

Wearing a black trench coat and a raised high collar to hide Zhou Ran's slightly rounded cheeks in the shadows, compared to the appearance of half a month ago, he has lost a lot of weight at this moment, and his unremitting fighting practice not only made him more proficient in fighting from the death knell, but also gradually transformed the fat on his body into hard muscles.
Although he still looks like a fat man on the surface, when Zhou Ran runs his body, he can already vaguely see the muscle outline wrapped in fat.
In New York in September, autumn is in full swing, but Zhou Ran, who put on a coat, quietly left his apartment without anyone noticing, and the deserted street lamps on both sides of the street emitted a soft and dim light to pull his shadow long and weird, with the pace constantly lengthening and shortening under the light......
New York, Hell's Kitchen on the Houston River seems to be the only place that is unaffected by the darkness of the night, as it is full of chaos and strife day and night, and the rise of one gang is often accompanied by the fall of another. Walking through this chaotic land, Zhou Ran always had a smile on his face.
Casting his eyes on the trench coat, a newcomer was ready to step forward and intimidate him, and get his hands on the trench coat. With the autumn of New York, the climate has also become colder, and the autumn wind tears the thin bodies of the homeless like a knife, and the clothes on their bodies at this moment alone cannot survive the cruel winter of New York.
At this time of year, there are many homeless people who lose their lives due to the cold, so whenever the weather gets colder, they will use various ways to get warm. Hell's Kitchen homeless people are more inclined to loot through their own means than their counterparts in other parts of the city rummaging through trash or old clothes at aid stations.
Wriggling his arm, the new homeless man was about to prove his good hands-on skills through his own actions, when his bearded accomplice reached out to stop the reckless fellow.
Seeing the trench coat in his hand leave in such a grand manner, the new homeless man was naturally very dissatisfied and complained to the bearded man, "Why don't you let me go and snatch that little fat man's clothes, what a great opportunity this is!" ā
"You don't know what's going on here," ignoring the newcomer's complaints, the bearded man stretched out his dirty hands to warm himself by the oven in front of him, "the guy who passed by just now is not an existence that you can easily provoke, see Henry, the teeth in his mouth were knocked out by the other party." ā
"Henry!" A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the newcomer homeless man and blurted out, although it is not enough to come to this place to be a homeless, but he still knows very well that the bearded Henry is the head of the homeless people in this place, and such an existence was actually knocked out by the unattractive guy who just passed by, and he did not retaliate.
Looking in the direction that Zhou Ran left, a look of happiness flashed in his eyes for the rest of his life, if he rushed up just now.
ā¦ā¦
Walking out of the Houston River along the winding road of Hell's Kitchen, it is no longer a place of "hell" from here, and when you turn your head, you can see a vague figure in the chaos walking through Hell's Kitchen, a slender wire spreading out from one end of a weapon that looks like a short stick in her hand, and constantly retracting like a dexterous arm.
Daredevil, or Daredevil, a superhero who walks in Hell's Kitchen, Zhou Ran has also seen each other's battle scenes for a long time, and unlike the new hero Spider-Man in New York City recently, this superhero relies on his fighting skills to fight various battles like Batman.
Zhou Ran, who had paid attention to the other party's battle scenes, compared his current self with the combat effectiveness of this superhero, and came to a comparable result, of course, if there is a gun, it will be another result, after all, his [Martial Arts Mastery (Black Iron)] ability from Death Knell is not only combat but also the use of swordsmanship and firearms.
New York City never seems to be quiet, and when you come to Manhattan Boulevard, you can clearly feel the charm of the city, with people coming and going, and a large number of dazzling neon tube advertisements and TV-style promotional boards in Times Square not far away, which have become deeply symbolic of New York, reflecting the strong urban character of Manhattan.
Approaching the square, it is enough to shock everyone's eyes, surrounded by colorful neon lights and street performers, and the big screen of news, song music videos, and TV shows is played at any time. Times Square is the only area in New York City that requires owners to hang a bright billboard under the planning law.
Feeling the bustling night of the city, Zhou Ran had to admit that he seemed to like it more than Gotham City, and everything here made him feel relaxed, a new world and city.
Drops -
However, just when Zhou Ran was feeling the joy brought by the new city, everything in front of him suddenly fell into darkness, and the entire Times Square, not New York City, seemed panicked because of the sudden darkness, and there were noisy screams and doubts around him from time to time.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why, why is there no electricity all of a sudden!"
"The government, are those guys in the government ****, we paid for it!"
Under the light of the faint mobile phone screen, the faces of the citizens were filled with the same incomprehension and complaints, and the entire New York lost its power supply in an instant, and in a place that no one knows, not all New Yorkers are familiar with, the Osborne Group's biochemical power station, the electric light flickers.
The electricity of the entire city actually flowed here, and it seemed that a human-like figure flashed in the current envelope, looming.
Woo, woo~
It didn't take long for the entire city to recover, but the power outage in the blink of an eye brought no less than hundreds of millions of dollars in losses to the entire New York City, and a large number of cars were rear-ended due to the power outage, and superheroes were busy saving the city that suddenly fell into a panic.
Raising his head, Zhou Ran looked at the figures of the superheroes who kept flying in mid-air, his eyes turned to a corner of the city, and a building full of science and technology was turned to the corner of his mouth, and an imperceptible black gas flashed on his face, everything seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
