Chapter 040: Death Bar
Night falls, death bar.
The Death Bar, is the largest mercenary bar in Manhattan, New York City.
In this, as long as you have enough dollars, you can hire mercenaries to do your best.
Putting on the prepared black skull mask, Wang Hai gently pushed open the main door of the bar and walked in calmly.
The first thing that catches you is the mixed air filled with the smell of liquor and cigarettes, and the men and women on the stage are swaying to the beat of the music, writhing their hips and waists, rubbing against the opposite sex around them.
Colorful crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the stage, and the colorful soft light illuminates the stage, casting a hazy sense of modernity over the entire hall, and the beautiful bodies of the dancers look more seductive and charming under the swaying lights.
The bartender at the bar is concentrating on making glass after glass of different flavors, and with each new glass of wine, the bartender next to him will bring it to the glass plate and carefully walk in the direction of the customer.
"Look, who that guy is!"
"Black Skull? That black skeleton that beat up Doctor Octopus? Is he a real person or a copycat? ”
"I guess it's true! But the point is, what are Black Skulls doing in our mercenary bar? ”
The men and women sitting on the metal round bench saw that Black Skull, the protagonist of "Black Skull VS Doctor Octopus", which was rumored in New York City some time ago, came to the death bar, and immediately began to point and talk about it.
In fact, after the last official press TV challenge and the violent beating of the powerful super-criminal Doctor Octopus in just one minute in front of the Church of San Raphael, Black Skull's reputation has grown in New York City, even overshadowing the prestige of the veteran superhero Spider-Man.
During this period, a media reporter specially interviewed more than 1,000 elementary school students on the streets of the city center, and the interview title was "Spider-Man, Black Skull, Iron Man, who is your favorite superhero?" The comprehensive data of the results of the interview showed that 58% of elementary school students chose Black Skull, 32% chose Spider-Man, and the remaining 10% voted for Iron Man.
The main reason why Black Skull was selected as the most popular superhero in New York may be because of his strong strength, which repeatedly throws the supervillain Doctor Octopus like garbage, and easily defeats it in one go. There might be a few other reasons, like the name "Black Skull" sounds cool, at least that's what the schoolchildren think.
And Spider-Man has become less popular than Black Skull during this time, and the biggest reason is because Black Skull's debut stole his limelight, Black Skull can easily defeat Doctor Octopus, while Spider-Man often ties with the latter, and he can't bring it to justice. From this point of view, Spider-Man's status in the minds of elementary school students has been greatly reduced.
In addition, Black Skull has not appeared in the public eye since the last time he beat Dr. Flattened Octopus in the live broadcast of the news media, and many people are looking forward to seeing his sassy and heroic appearance on TV screens or newspapers and magazines again, after all, it is not very enjoyable for many people to watch it once.
As for the Iron Man who is ranked last, he is a new superhero who just appeared in New York two days ago, firstly, his appearance time is too short, and secondly, he is just saving a group of local villagers in the Middle East, and he still relies on a high-tech armor to do it, so the elementary school students are not very interested in him for the time being.
To get back to the point, just when everyone was gossiping about Wang Hai, he didn't notice that a person who looked like a thief had sneaked out of the back door.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Hai walked to a remote corner of the bar casually, ordered the bartender to bring a bottle of top-notch cold beer, and savagely bit the lid with his teeth and drank it.
Just when he drank most of the bottle in one go, a strangely dressed guy quietly appeared next to him.
Wearing a red leather coat, the red leather coat has several black spots, especially the black pigment on the eyes of the mask, like a pair of panda eyes.
Unlike Wang Hai's black skull mask, Wang Hai's mask still has an opening in his mouth for breathing and eating, while his mask only has the eyes to communicate with the outside world, as if he is too ugly to show his appearance to the public.
With two katanas crossed behind his back and two light pistols at his waist, and the fact that he was also in the official bar of Manhattan's mercenary community, it is not difficult to speculate that he is likely to be a mercenary as well.
It's Deadpool!
Deadpool is actually his nickname, his real name is Wade Winston Wilson, he was originally an elite special forces soldier who was experienced in a hundred battles, playing with a skillful double knife and two guns, but because of the misfortune of cancer, in order to cure the cancer, he let go and joined the X weapon program, and finally not only eliminated the cancer cells in the body, but also gained enhanced strength and a near-immortal body that can quickly heal itself.
However, with all three of these benefits, there is also a flaw that cannot be ignored, and that is that Deadpool is severely disfigured - if there is a contest to be held in New York City, there is no suspense that he will squeeze into the top three.
Fortunately, the love between Deadpool's wife Vanessa and him is true love, even if his whole body including his face is miserable, Vanessa still does not abandon him, and has been silently encouraging him to cheer up and live happily.
However, Deadpool still felt a little sorry for her, so he often came out to continue to work as a mercenary to take on tasks to make money.
On the one hand, it is to improve the living conditions of the family, at least the wife of the family does not have to go out to work as a prostitute to earn money.
On the other hand, he wanted to save enough money to travel around the world in search of a clever doctor who could cure his disfigured appearance - although there was little hope, but at least try.
Deadpool's goal is to make a billion dollars in three years!
But in fact, as of now, he has only raised more than 60 million US dollars in almost half a year.
But in fact, Deadpool is the most outstanding mercenary in Manhattan, and his commission is already the highest level of income in the mercenary industry.
The average mercenary in the death bar only costs 350,000 US dollars for a mission, and the leader of a very small number of elite mercenaries only costs 350,000 US dollars, but he is 35 million US dollars once, and the remuneration level is more than ten streets away from other mercenaries.
