Chapter 46: Vice City
......
New York City, North Bronx, in an abandoned park.
Two black men in hip-hop suits are beating up a Mexican woman.
"A lowly old Latin American woman, let you hand over your wallet and dare to resist, let you have a longer memory today!"
Just as the two were fighting, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly came from a distance, making them subconsciously raise their heads.
It's just that in the next second, there is an extra question mark in the minds of the two:
"Walter... Fack? ”
What do they see?
They saw that there seemed to be a black dot in the distance that was slowly getting bigger, and when they got closer, they found that the black dot was actually a tree trunk at least one meter in diameter.
If that's just the case, it's nothing, but there's actually a person standing on that big tree?
A person stood on a tree trunk and flew in the sky, and the two rubbed their eyes, thinking that they must have been too blind before going out, so now they are hallucinating.
But then they realized that it wasn't a hallucination at all.
With a thud, the trunk of the tree plunged into the lawn about ten meters away from them.
The man standing on the trunk of the tree jumped up in advance, flipped three hundred and sixty degrees in the air like a gymnast, and landed firmly on the ground.
The dirt that had been thrown into the lawn was so real in their faces.
"The calculation is correct, the landing error is less than five meters, perfect!"
Looking at his surroundings, Hawking nodded in satisfaction.
During his previous vacations, he had come to the Bronx to step on it, and this abandoned park was the best place for him to land, and it was not easy to find the few people living nearby.
There are five boroughs in New York, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
Manhattan is known as a wealthy neighborhood and a symbol of New York City, with the headquarters of many large corporations, such as Tony Stark's Stark Group.
On the east side of Manhattan, across the East River from Manhattan is Queens.
Queens is the largest and second most populous of the five boroughs in New York, second only to Manhattan in terms of economic level, and is also home to some well-known companies, such as Austein Industries.
On the south side of the border with Queens is Brooklyn, the most populous area of New York and the birthplace of Captain America Steve Rogers.
Of course, there is no Captain America in this universe, only Captain Carter.
The southernmost part of New York is the Staten Island area, which is the least populated and far away, and can be seen as a small island in the sea alone, and the sea scenery is relatively good.
Finally, there is the Bronx, where Hawking is now located, bordering Manhattan and the northernmost part of New York City.
The Mutant School was built on the outskirts of the Bronx further north, and Oleg and Elena worked and lived on the border between the Bronx and the suburbs, a business owned by Professor X's family.
I used to hear that the most dangerous place in New York was Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, the place where Daredevil frequented.
But after three years of understanding, Hawking found that Hell's Kitchen is dangerous, but it is only a few blocks there, and the real amount of crime has to be the Bronx.
Hell's Kitchen is just a slum in Manhattan, while the Bronx is a slum in the whole of New York.
Because most of New York's African-Americans and Hispanics live in this area, the Bronx has one of the highest crime rates in the entire United States, and indeed in the world.
Especially in the southern part of the Bronx, it is notoriously chaotic, comparable to Vice City in the game.
So it has naturally become Hawking's first choice to earn justice points, close to the school, and the crime rate is high.
"It's... A good start? ”
After landing in style, Hawking soon found two black men stunned with leather bags, and a middle-aged woman lying on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face.
With cheerful steps, he came to the presence of two black men:
"My friendly suggestion is that you return the purse to her."
"Falk oil!"
The two black men glanced at each other, and actually took out the dagger in their pockets and stabbed Hawking in the stomach.
This surprised him a little, he thought that the two guys should be frightened when they saw the scene just now, but he didn't expect to be so bold.
In fact, he only came to inspect the terrain occasionally during the holidays, and although he knew something about the crime here, it was only through newspapers and some hearsay.
He didn't know that those gangsters who had been living at the bottom of this place lived a life with today and no tomorrow, and maybe they would die in the sewers at any time, and their mentality was already different from that of normal people.
In their eyes, although Hawking is a little incredible, but so what, dare to let them return the loot that can also be used to buy powder, first ask the knife in their hands.
The key is that Hawking does not have a gun in his hand, and in their eyes the gun is understandably a real deterrent weapon.
Compared with these little gangsters, on the contrary, those high-level who have lived a good life after fighting hard are even more desperate.
"Then don't blame me."
Reaching out and grabbing the wrists of the two black men holding knives like lightning, they slammed them upward.
"Smack!"
With the sound of two bones breaking, the two black men also let out a terrible scream.
He never showed mercy to those who wanted his life.
Besides, there are no reporters and other people here, and there is no need to put on a show, so naturally there is no need to worry about anything.
"Let's go."
Kicking the two black men in the stomach and vomiting blood to the ground, Hawking picked up the purse and threw it to the middle-aged woman who had just gotten up.
"Thank you!"
The middle-aged woman picked up the purse, thanked her, and ran away, fearing that what would happen later would implicate her.
Hawking didn't care when he saw this, his purpose was for justice, not for gratitude.
"Poor ghost!"
Reaching out and searching the two black men, he found less than twenty dollars, which made him slightly unhappy.
The school was in charge of food and housing, and he was naturally embarrassed to reach out to the Oglites for how much pocket money.
Putting twenty dollars in his pocket, ignoring the two black men who had fainted, Hawking disappeared into the park in a few jumps, and came to the roof of a small six-story building on a nearby street.
"Fra Dimension!"
Reaching out to cast a transformation spell on the tracksuit on his body, the sportswear instantly turned into a domineering golden armor, picked up a fallen leaf floating in the wind, turned it into a golden helmet and put it on his head.
Since you want to establish the image of a superhero, you must wear an iconic outfit.
The more stylish and handsome you are, the more you can attract the attention of the public and get more people's admiration, including wearing a helmet not to reduce trouble, but to create a sense of mystery.
In this way, when the final identity is revealed, it will be enough to explode.
In addition to earning justice points, what he did was more important to pave the way for the future superhero international company.
Simply pretending to be handsome, he is not such a naïve person.
