New York City, east of Manhattan's Third Street, is lined with old apartment buildings with mottled mailboxes along the street to highlight the building's rich history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Ran passed by the newsstand at the door of the apartment, walked into the elevator The old elevator made an annoying sound of 'creaking', slowly but firmly closed the iron door, and slowly rose towards the floor where he was.

The place where he lives belongs to the civilian area of Manhattan, surrounded by ordinary working-class citizens of New York, the relatively cheap rent can relieve their already heavy living pressure, and compared to the Hell's Kitchen of New York, where crime occurs every day, the security here is relatively better, and it is quite popular with poor families.

Squeak-

The annoying noise turned on the elevators, and what appeared at the door was a blonde and blue-eyed white woman, dressed in plain clothes, and she showed a kind smile on her face after seeing Zhou Ran in the elevator, and greeted, "Hey, Zhou is back so early today?" ”

"Yes, Lady Delisa." Nodding, Zhou Ran replied with a simple smile on his round face, the white woman in front of him named Dai Lisa was his neighbor in the apartment, a single mother who raised her daughter alone, a strong and great mother.

After greeting Mrs. Delisa, Zhou Ran returned to his apartment and prepared today's dinner with ease, although all kinds of strange things happened to him, but obviously for him now, filling his stomach is the most important thing.

In fact, most of the well-known restaurants in New York serve Italian or French food, and there are all kinds of Chinese restaurants everywhere on the road, but it is obvious that the so-called Chinese food in these Chinese restaurants has been localized, which is a bit unconventional for Zhou Ran.

Naturally, it doesn't take too much energy to eat alone, but simple fried rice is really good. However, the aroma of the meal unexpectedly attracted the arrival of a little gluttonous cat, and he looked at Zhou Ran who was cooking in the kitchen at the door, with a look of longing in his eyes.

With long brown hair, delicate facial features and sparkling bright eyes, this little girl who suddenly appeared at the door was Catherine, the daughter of Mrs. Delisa, who had just smashed the elevator and met Mrs. Delisa.

"Zhou, what are you doing?" Mustering up her courage, the little girl asked Zhou Ran in the kitchen in a crisp voice that had not yet changed her voice, "Are you cooking Chinese food, I heard that every Chinese person will cook very delicious Chinese food, which is even better than that in Chinese restaurants?" As she spoke, an obvious saliva appeared at the corner of the little girl's mouth, and she looked cute with a greedy mouth.

"It's not that exaggerated." Little Catherine's gluttonous appearance made Zhou Ran couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smile, but he didn't pause to divide the cooked fried rice into two plates, "If this is really the case, then how can the Chinese people in the Chinese restaurant be counted, shouldn't they be able to make delicious Chinese food?" ”

"That's right!" was reminded by Zhou Ran's words, little Catherine immediately showed a sudden expression, and then frowned her small brows with a puzzled look, and muttered, "Why is this?" "The curious appearance of tilting his head is as playful and cute as a delicate doll, and people can't help but want to pinch the little red face.

"Okay," looking at little Catherine who looked like she was meditating, Zhou Ran picked up a small plate of fried rice and put it in front of her, reminding, "Don't think about this, there are a lot of fried rice today, so please ask Catherine to help me solve some of it." Next to this plate of fried rice is a small spoon, but it is the cutlery that Zhou Ran prepared for the little girl who is not familiar with chopsticks.

"Thank you, Zhou!" Looking at the steaming fried rice in front of her, Catherine's eyes flashed with surprise, and she happily picked up the spoon and scooped a big spoonful into her mouth, her small mouth bulged out, her face was puffed up, and she thanked Zhou Ran vaguely in her mouth.

……

"Goodbye, Zhou!" Waving her hand and saying goodbye to Zhou Ran, little Catherine jumped away with easy steps.

After a short dinner, Zhou Ran came to the computer and began his daily routine information collection work.

"Giant green monsters in New York City have destroyed the city!!"

"Stark Industries Tony? Stark, the famous superhero Iron Man, successfully cracked a shooting incident today......"

"The government issued a statement: I want to hope that mutants will no longer appear in ......"

"Spider-Man, the new hero who defends the city!!"

"I feel like I'm mutated, and a part of my body ......"

Half a month after Zhou Ran came to this world, he also had a general understanding of all kinds of information about superheroes, and the world he originally lived in was still a world where superheroes and villains were constantly fighting, but there were also many differences from Zhou Ran's original world.

Unlike Batman, a superhero like Green Arrow, who hides himself and fights silently, here, superheroes are more active and even appear in the headlines of newspapers and magazines, and every day different news about superheroes is delivered from newspapers and online magazines.

Even, there are such as Iron Man, who openly reveals his identity as a hero, you must know that superheroes wear masks to hide their identity, and this real name is Tony? Stark's superhero did the opposite, announcing the fact that he was a superhero to the media, and his behavior and audacity usually went to various parties, which made people dare not imagine the fact that he was a superhero.

For example, you can accept Batman and Superman as normal people, but when they put on their uniforms and clink glasses with you, it makes people feel discordant.

What's more, through various channels, Zhou Ran also knew that there is a group of powerful beings in this world called "mutants" by the outside world, each of them has the ability to exist no less than superheroes, but it has always been unacceptable to the outside world, and the government has repeatedly put forward the idea of suppressing mutants.

Every once in a while, people march through the streets with signs that say 'Destroy the mutants, we don't need to live with these dangerous guys'. Superheroes are accepted by people because they are powerful, mutants are feared because they are dangerous, and humans are such contradictory and fickle animals.
