Chapter 20: The Place of Birth

[Bang-]

Spider-Man was knocked away by this massive collection of forces the moment he confronted the Believers of Desperation.

His body left a phantom in the rain, and then slammed into the convenience store in front of George, making a jingling sound, like smashing a lot of bottles and cans.

Peter: "Bad luck! I can't afford to lose so much! ”

【Boom!!】 】

A dark shadow flew out almost against George's body, and was hurled at the Desperate Believer with a furious force.

It was a whole piece of construction debris.

A spider silk was connected to this huge piece of garbage, and the huge force was pulled out along with Spider-Man.

George: "Are you okay?!" ”

Peter: "Fine, but you'll have to pay for it!" ”

George: "I'll remember you John. Wick on the books! ”

(John, who was anxiously waiting on the edge of Flushing and hesitant to follow up: "?) ”)

Both of them recognized each other's voices, and George knew Spider-Man's identity without further ado.

Peter, however, was shocked and distraught, but in an instant his reason was struck, and half of his feet stepped into some kind of terrifying and strange dark illusion, and everything around him seemed to have changed into a weathered apocalyptic scene for many years.

Relying on Peter's excites to avoid a ferocious swing from six or seven arms stretched and grown, and a puddle of horrible filthy liquid flashed sideways, Peter forced himself to composure.

He remembered that the last time he had met the mysterious man was at school, and later heard that George seemed to be in the toilet at the time of the incident.

So the identity of the mysterious person was basically confirmed.

But George didn't expose it, and he didn't expose him.

The two tacitly acknowledged, one went straight to the desperate believers who were entangled in spider silk that was densely packed all over the neighborhood at some point, and the other did not hesitate to rush into the heavy rain and majestic darkness to find an opportunity to solve the aliens.

"The heat, the bright light, and the girl's scream, these are the only three things that are its weaknesses!"

George reminded loudly.

At this time, more gunships are approaching from all directions.

They are as steady as Mount Tai in the rainstorm, their fuselage painted with violent and ferocious totems, and the barrels of machine guns slowly rotate to warm up.

In front of the aliens, the steel creations of human beings revealed their hideous faces.

【Bang!】 【Bang! 】

【Bang!】 】

Three more pillars of bright light fell from the sky, enveloping the desperate believers and Spider-Man under the dark night rain.

There are ropes to lower, and each helicopter slides down the rope with at least three special forces in black special operations suits.

They are forbidden and seem to have received some order to assist Spider-Man in stopping the infected's unbridled progress.

Helicopters did not dare to use heavy weapons again.

While the Avengers were busy with other things, the Good Citizen of New York Spider was the best way to deal with most of the low-level infected.

And if Spider-Man is injured by mistake, it may not be tomorrow when angry taxpayers rush into the town halls.

Flushing said it wasn't a big deal.

The torrential rain gradually took away George's body temperature.

He wandered through the dark shadows, and saw haphazardly stacked empty syringes and iron cages that seemed to house wild dogs.

But the cages were filled with one boy or girl looted from all over the world.

The Flushing of this world......

Evil grows everywhere.

In the shadow of the Asian underworld, the entire community is in the gloom of a smoky miasma.

Heavy rain washes over the billboards plastered on any roadside public facility, mostly with women wearing heavy makeup, and then put together a blood-pumping vocabulary to attract customers.

It seems that the chaos here is no less than that of Hell's Kitchen.

It's just that Hell's Kitchen is more of a pirate gentleman from Western Europe, Northern Europe, and the British Isles.

Flushing, on the other hand, is more likely to be smugglers from Asian countries such as China, Japan, India, and Vietnam.

But it's even more disgusting here.

Hell's Kitchen is full of third-rate people who drugged, fought, and opened the red-light district, but never involved in human trade, let alone lured their countrymen into crossing the ocean to kill their waists or force them to sell their bodies.

Flushing is different.

Over here...... There's everything.

In the poorest neighborhoods, you can even see twelve-year-old girls being toyed to death by dirty politicians or perverted men.

The deeper he went into the dark alley, the colder George felt.

The law enforcement system did not spread here.

The eyes of superheroes are forever fixed on Manhattan.

The self-proclaimed righteous media is still kneeling and licking the toes of the capitalists, and even Kim can appear in front of the world as a philanthropist.

In the darkness, he could see any remnants of sin in the world.

The bloodied skirt of a girl left in a dead corner of an alley, a baby curled up in a garbage bin with clenched fists to death, and a severed limb that has been washed away by the torrential rain but still leaves pale flesh......

Flushing counted more than three hundred dead during the Great Retreat an hour earlier, and the actual number was much higher.

But a large part of them are killed by beasts that are usually hidden under their clothes, not desperate believers who are rotten and roaming around.

George's breathing became heavy.

The mood becomes restless.

He'd never been here, but now that he's seen everything, he's feeling a little incredible.

Maybe...... The emergence of desperate believers is not accidental.

According to the information released by the government, the appearance of the alien species is extremely accidental, completely uncontrollable, and extremely dangerous, usually wandering in a certain area after the appearance, showing great aggression towards mammals.

But after a certain period of mania, the outliers usually enter a certain ...... Stages that cannot be understood.

This stage is called "empty".

When infected individuals enter an empty state, their desire to move is reduced, their aggression is weakened, and their cell activity is greatly reduced.

This process can vary in duration depending on the situation.

When this phase is over, the anomaly will go into madness again and attack everything.

Why, then, do they go into "emptiness"?

Now, the reluctance of the Desperate Believers to leave Flushing and hunt more humans is probably in this state.

But why?

The rainstorm fell on George's face, and his eyes were blurred.

He saw it.

In front of me, the end of the dark alley is like a purgatory on earth.

Several residential buildings with all emergency lights on.

The buildings are low and old, and downstairs is a series of Chinese mahjong parlors with traditional characters written on them.

There seems to be a problem with the drainage system in the neighborhood, and the water is so bad here that it even spreads into the façade.

Hundreds of corpses lay face down in the calf-deep water, and the blood that had not yet dried up spread throughout the neighborhood.

Bleeding and drifting, nothing more than that.

He held his head high, hoping to see the living in the faint green glow of the windows.

But all I saw was one skull after another that had been fixed there with a torn arm.

The face of each head was pale and shocking with great horror.

George gritted his teeth tightly.

Anyone who came here would be crushed by the bloodshed, and the horrific condition of so many corpses was enough to make the fiercest warrior tremble.

George was also afraid.

But soon, everything in the Sims came to mind, and everything he had experienced made him gradually calm down.

He clings to the wall of a tall building.

"It should be around here."

"The ...... of the Desperate Believer"

"The place of birth."
