Chapter 6: Jack of Hearts

After rounding the corner and walking a few hundred meters, Bai Ye realized what the group of people were just running away from.

The head of the giant Statue of Liberty was stuck in a Starbucks café at this time, and the section of the head was facing the two men, and they could clearly see that the wires and metal components inside it were messily intertwined, revealing an incomplete and broken state.

The eyes on its head lost their original luster, and one of them even shattered into pieces, as if to silently tell the pain of the Statue of Liberty. The corners of the mouth on the head were also badly damaged, twisted and distorted, like a distorted smile.

As can be seen from the marks of the impact, the Statue of Liberty experienced intense friction and collision when its head fell. The surface of the bronze showed signs of charring, and it appeared ruined and dull compared to its original smoothness.

The Starbucks coffee storefront was the Starbucks coffee storefront, where the structure on the second floor had completely collapsed, and the huge glass vitrines shattered into countless small sharp shards, shining like diamonds in the cold sunlight.

It all happened so suddenly, and the interior of the coffee shop became chaotic. Tables and chairs were overturned, shards of porcelain were scattered to the ground, and the coffee machine hissed. It's just that the aroma of coffee still permeates the air, mixing with the smell of dust and broken materials to create a peculiar and chaotic taste.

"What's going on here?"

White Night looked around and kicked half of the broken signboard on the ground, the mermaid's part was gone, and only the small half of the crown was still there.

"Jack of the Heart must have done it, just now Fury told me that Jack died in the fight with the fallen creature."

Quicksilver, who was carried on his shoulder, said with a heavy face, he and Jack of Hearts were not familiar with him, but after seeing with his own eyes the place where an Avenger died in battle, he was still saddened.

"Hmm...... I think he did sacrifice, but not completely. ”

Bai Ye's eyes turned, and he noticed that among the ruins, a familiar figure attracted his attention. It was Jack of Hearts, a mechanical genius who was once an indispensable member of the Avengers. However, at this moment, he has been blown up by the explosion and only the upper half of his body is buried, buried under the rubble.

However, when he was about to get closer, he immediately felt a creepy aura permeate. Jack of Hearts has been infected as a zombie, and his eyes have lost their brightness in favor of madness and longing.

"Ho..... Meat..... Ho cough..."

Bai Ye's brow furrowed, and he quickly retreated, keeping a distance from the half of the corpse.

According to Quicksilver, this guy may have been infected during a fight with the Sentinel, and then tried to blow himself up but accidentally survived, only to lose half of his body.

"I'm so hungry! You! Let me take a bite! ”

Jack of Hearts' upper body struggled to free himself from the rubble, the shattered mechanical parts making a cacophony of grinding against him. He let out a low roar, full of wildness and hunger, and he opened his mouth, baring his sharp teeth, and pounced on the white night.

However, due to the fact that Jack of Hearts is left with only the broken state of his upper body, his movements become clumsy and erratic. All of a sudden, he lost his balance and slammed into the ground with a dull thud.

Despite this, Jack of Hearts stubbornly crawls forward, despite the mutilation and pain of his body. His mechanical parts rattled and rubbed, and he tugged at the ground with his broken arm, trying to get closer to the white night.

White Night raised the gun steadily, facing Jack of Hearts, who was infected as a zombie, and unwaveringly flipped his fingers.

With the slight movement of pulling the trigger, a piercing gunshot instantly broke the silence. The bullet sped out, through the air, and quickly towards Jack of Hearts' head.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then, in the sound of gunfire, the bullet hit Jack of Hearts in the head with precision. A powerful force exploded in an instant, and brains and debris splattered everywhere.

Jack of Hearts' skull exploded in an instant, as if it had been torn apart by an invisible force. Flesh and bones splattered in all directions, filling the air with a foul stench. The mutilated skull cracked open, revealing shattered brain tissue and an exposed skull.

Its abilities are already uncontrollable, and it needs equipment to suppress the explosion, and this bullet from the white night happens to be the catalyst.

At that moment, Jack Heart's eyes were full of pain and despair, but his body immediately lost its support and fell to the ground, unable to move again.

Broken brains and blood spread across the ground, creating a gruesome image. Jack of Hearts' corpse becomes even more twisted and terrifying, like a tormented humanoid nightmare.

Jack of Hearts' corpse hasn't completely stopped turbulent. Between his broken skull and skull, tiny explosions were still occurring. The explosions weren't big, but they were enough to make the corpses tremble around.

Suddenly, a series of faint popping sounds came from Jack of Hearts' chest. Broken ribs and decaying tissue burst into a glimmer of light, like lit sparks flickering in the darkness.

White Night took two more steps back, and the small explosions seemed to originate from the energy stored in Jack of Hearts' body. During his lifetime, these energies were the source of his strength as a superhero and remain in his body after death.

Each tiny explosion unleashed a faint wave of energy that made the mangled corpse tremble even more violently. Jack of Hearts' limbs twisted and twitched uncontrollably under the impact of the explosion, as if he was still fighting for survival.

"This is what it's like to be infected as a zombie?"

Pietro was carried on the shoulders of the White Night, looking down at Jack of Hearts' corpse and the series of tiny explosions. His heart was filled with surprise and fear, and his eyes were wide open as he stared at this incredible sight.

He felt the faint ripple of energy emanating from Jack of the Heart's corpse, and the unsettling tremor rippled throughout his body.

What touched him the most was the meaning of those little explosions. They are remnants of superhero power that remain in their bodies after death, just why are they so shocking?

A frightened expression appeared on Quicksilver's face, and he couldn't help but tremble. His eyes widened as he watched Jack of Hearts' limbs twist and twitch, barely believing his eyes.

He suddenly realized that he had faced a similar danger and might become such a monster. The world is gradually paddling into the abyss of destruction, and even superheroes are not immune.

The world, as the man just said, is on the verge of perdition.

"I remember you said before that you beat me to keep me from turning into a zombie?"

"yes."

"I believe it now."
