Chapter 120 The Hero Arrives
New York City Times Square Center

After Link's soothing speech through the Voice of Water, the citizens of New York City were obviously relieved. At least they were not as panicked as before.

After all, the authority of Superman's words can make the people more trustworthy than those of the half-baked and irrelevant federal government.

The once bustling Times Square now has some people flowing into it, and has regained some of its bustle.
There are cars flowing, people coming and going, and street vendors.

Even more eye-catching is the steel sculpture that stands in the center of New York's Times Square.
Tall figure, majestic shoulders, and muscles full of power and explosiveness.
A golden-ratio figure, the texture of the finely carved battle suit, a handsome and tough face, a scorching gaze, an "S" symbol of hope within the diamond-shaped frame on the chest of the battle suit, and a slightly undulating cape behind...

Without a doubt, it was the beloved Mayor of New York City, the real superhero, Superman - Kal-El.
That is Link's sculpture.

It was just completed not long ago, and tourists passing by would stop to look at it from time to time, gazing at this steel structure.
From time to time, they whispered to each other, marveling at the shock and impact brought by the sculpture.

Of course, taking into account that not every viewer has sufficient qualities to match this, the sculpture is surrounded by a symbolic fence.

People are also accustomed to taking photos and group photos under this new New York City landmark building.
until today,

Today is a special day,
There were quite a few people surrounding the Superman statue.

But a figure wrapped in a hoodie, lowered his head, and hurried towards the crowded crowd.
That is, under the Superman statue.

He showed impatience and casually pushed away the pedestrians who were blocking his way.
Just as this hot-tempered man turned his head angrily, ready to teach this ungrateful guy a lesson,
But suddenly I met that pair of red eyes, which seemed to be boiling with magma.

A suffocating feeling, as if a python was entangled in his heart, swept over his heart.
At the same time, his mind kept recalling the relevant items and precautions about "exploders" mentioned by [Voter's Voice].

He couldn't help but scream, and took a few steps back, bumping into some people around him, which also caused a lot of dissatisfaction. The fried chicken and French fries in his hand also rolled to the ground.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

The pedestrians behind him were also protesting against the man's retreating body.

But the man did not respond, but pointed excitedly and crazily, standing still with a smile on his face.

"He He……!"

"What's wrong with him? Hey, man, tell me if you were too high at home today and haven't sobered up since you left the house."

A young man dressed in fancy clothes and hippie style was whistling.

I approached the figure that was still standing there, motionless.

"Don't...don't get close to him!"

"what are you talking about……"

The young man turned his head and looked puzzledly at the crowd of onlookers who were as far away from this place as the man.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly. The rays of light cast by the sun overhead happened to be in the opposite position of the young man.
Through the shadows cast by the sun, the young man can see,
The figure behind him hunched over, and then twisted and swung his limbs, as if enduring some extreme pain.

Accompanied by the crisp crackling sound of bones and the obvious rising temperature of the surrounding environment,
The young man who had just looked cynical became completely panicked, with a look of disbelief flashing across his face.

The figure on the ground became larger and larger, and its originally thin body gradually burst through its hoodie. The temperature also continued to rise. The "lucky young man" slowly turned his neck, praying silently in his heart that everything he saw was an illusion and that he was just dazzled. This must be some damn program crew playing an outdoor prank!

But the answer is no, the reality is cruel.
A man whose whole body was red, with muscles protruding from his body like tumors.

An ugly face that makes people feel physically nauseous, red eyes, blood-red tentacles that continue to grow and sway on the back, and a twisted figure with a faint red glow appeared in front of him.

"Weird...monster!"

The young man suddenly collapsed to the ground. The devil-like existence in front of him made his legs tremble. He wanted to lie on the ground, but he stood up and ran away.

However, due to excessive tension, my legs lost sensation for a short time, and became as stiff as if they were filled with cement, and I couldn't move at all.

"Damn it! Gift crab!"

He looked up, his eyes searching for help as he scanned the crowd around him that were also panicking and screaming.

But no one would lend him a hand.
The once bustling and noisy center of New York's Times Square was once again shrouded in a fearful and solemn atmosphere.

Screams, physical fights, and all kinds of chaotic events intertwined.
The young man who was closest to the monster had two lines of tears on his face, as if he had already met his own death.

With both feet on the ground, a fiery breath continued to spread from the surface of the body, and the figure opened its bloody mouth like a demon descending here, roaring to the sky,

This is a new entity formed by the integration of the vampire race and the desperate virus. To be more precise, it is a biological weapon.
Rather than the "side effects" of using the desperate virus roughly, self-destruct,

The single method of causing harm, combined deeply with the combat-capable vampires, produced some unexpected mutations.

"Blood Burner"

The purpose of placing the "Blood Burner" in Times Square was not only to strike at the already fragmented authority of the federal government,
It is also to provoke those "superheroes" who claim to be righteous and are the most difficult to deal with.

The young man collapsed on the ground, raised his head in fear, his eyes full of panic.

At this moment, the young man prayed in his heart, praying for the existence that could save his life to come.

Unconsciously, his eyes glanced at the Superman statue standing nearby.

If only Superman could be here, he would definitely be able to save me!
Help me, help me!
The "Blood Burner" raised the blood-red bone blades that grew out of his arms, with scorching liquid flowing between the gaps.
It opened its mouth in excitement, suddenly raised the bone blade, and then chopped it off.
When the sharp bone blade was about to fall,

The young man closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
But after a while, the expected pain did not come.
He opened his eyes blankly.
But he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him, smiling, raising his hand, and gently pinching the terrifying blood-red bone blade with two fingers.
"Super...Superman!"

"It's really you!"

Link just waved his hand in response, signaling to leave as soon as possible. The young man immediately fled, and the area that was about to become a battlefield...
