[Zhongyingmei] Born to be Superman

New York, Aphrodite Hotel, Aphrodite Hotel has an excellent location, overlooking Times Square in Manhattan.

The top floor of the hotel was originally a double-glazed roof. In winter, the glass is covered with a thick layer of white snow. The glass roof looks like it is made of ice and snow. The unique design is very suitable for Christmas. theme.

But at this time, the top floor of this five-star luxury hotel has completely lost its original exquisite and gorgeous appearance. The roof of the glass curtain wall was blown to pieces, and the north wind swept snowflakes into the venue through the hole.

There are four elevators outside the entrance of the banquet hall on the top floor. You can enter the banquet hall only through the corridor door. The east, south and north sides of the banquet hall are all glass curtain wall facades. The curtain wall on the east side of the banquet hall is not open in winter. The swimming pool, while the south curtain wall is the originally open outdoor meeting place.

The explosion point is close to the west porch door of the banquet hall, between the north curtain wall and the west porch door,

Half of the venue on the top floor collapsed, and the glass curtain wall on the north side and the supporting steel structure collapsed. The fallen roof steel bars and large pieces of glass separated the indoor venue from the elevator and the escape passage, while leading to the outdoor banquet hall and swimming pool. The exit is also on the other side of the collapsed curtain wall and steel bars.

The steel structure under the glass curtain wall on the east and west sides was also knocked upside down by the impact, tremblingly propping up the crumbling glass—the glass was impacted by the aftermath of the explosion, barely a piece but cracked.Seriously injured and dead victims were buried under the collapsing glass facade and steel bars, while survivors gathered under the crumbling glass roof of the other half of the venue.

Survivors were trapped in a triangular semi-airtight space. The worst thing was that they dared not touch the broken and crumbling steel support. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the other half of the support was in the same position as the steel and glass. In this delicate balance, any intervening external force will cause this half of the building to collapse.

The exposed steel bars in the corner of the glass curtain wall in the southeast corner of the venue were completely bent by the shock wave, and the hollow steel pipe broke and cracked a gap.

The crooked steel bars, shattered glass, and half-collapsed ruins of the top floor of the hotel. There was a sound of gasping for breath. The victims who were impacted by the explosion shock wave were buried under the ruins by the steel bars and glass. Some died on the spot, and some There was still a hard breath left.

The explosion happened in an instant, and all the people were crushed under the ruins even when they heard a "boom". In the venue, everyone, regardless of whether they were injured or not, gathered around the host of the banquet, Tony Stark With a look of fear on his face, he and others gathered by the curtain wall near the swimming pool on the east side.

This group of people stood close together, but this group of people was just scared. What is surprising is that no one was injured in this group of people, as if there was an invisible force separating the explosion point from this group of people. Come.

Lex Luthor crossed his arms, his eyes swept over Oliver Quinn standing beside Tony, the president of Quinn Enterprises with a facial expression had already glanced at his mobile phone screen several times, and Luthor's eyes finally fell on Tony Quinn On the watch on his finger, the burn mark on Tony's left hand is clearly visible. Tony felt Luther's gaze on him, and Tony raised his head.

Tony shook the watch in his hand, and spit out a word: "What?"

"Mr. Stark, it seems that you have transformed the vibration gold energy transmission technology, and your watch is equipped with an anti-shock intelligent feedback system," Luther said with a very natural flattery, "If it is not Your vibranium energy shield, we...will probably be buried in the ruins too. Thank you very much, Mr. Stark."

"Really?" Tony has calmed down, his brown eyes turned and his eyes focused on Luther, Tony said sarcastically: "You're welcome, Mr. Luther, if my yacht hadn't been installed a few months ago Bomb, I don’t know how to make this watch, you say, Mr. Luther,” Tony sneered, and he said, “Do I want to thank the person who planted a bomb on my yacht.”

Oliver put his hands in his pockets, and he looked at Luthor as if nothing had happened. Green Arrow, who had walked a few laps in the database submitted by the bats to the Justice League, certainly understood what their technical support meant. The person was Luthor—it was just that Big Blue and the others didn't find any evidence.

As soon as today's banquet started, Oliver recognized Tony's voice. The technical assistant who dropped the missile to close the sonic channel was the arrogant Mr. Stark in the suit and leather shoes in front of him. Thinking about Tony's network, Green Arrow probably also Can guess the real identity of Big Blue and Big Bat.

Oliver looked sideways at Luther, and the smile on the corner of Luther's mouth didn't even change when the man heard Tony's words.

Tsk tsk - but shameless.

"That's my luck," Luther said slowly, "You really don't need to thank the bomber."

"Oh." Tony sneered slightly.

The people surrounding Tony and Luthor are all prominent figures in the upper class of the United States. Everyone is watching Stark's undisguised hostility towards Luthor intentionally or unintentionally. These two top American weapons manufacturers It can be said that the appearance is not compatible and the heart is not harmonious.

Tony and Luther stood together, Tony just wanted to sarcastically say a few more words to this hypocritical person, Oliver said without hesitation: "Mr. Could you please make that energy shield no longer stand up?"

Tony shook the watch in his hand, and Tony explained: "After being impacted, the energy cover draws all the power in the battery and feeds it back instantly. This is a one-time energy supply thing, let alone open the energy cover again," Tony turned the face of the watch towards Oliver, and said, "Time has stopped now."

Tony recalled Luthor's whole process from the beginning of the banquet to the explosion, and he had a trace of doubt in his heart—this person was not far from him from the beginning to the end, and he never left the range of the vibranium energy shield at the farthest. Like, he knew—

It's like an explosion today.

The tranquility of the city was also broken by this explosion in New York City. Screaming police sirens and ambulance sirens gathered from all over the city. Helicopter propellers came from outside the building, and the helicopter hovered tens of meters away from the high-rise buildings. Rescue The helicopter didn't dare to get close to the building at all - if it got close, the strong wind from the helicopter's propeller would definitely blow down the crumbling venue.

The crowd gathered in the corner suddenly became noisy, and the men in suits and leather shoes and the ladies in dresses suddenly panicked. "Rescue, what rescue," someone said from the side: "These policemen, special police, firefighters, and you listen...helicopters, which one can come up, which one dares to approach, or we break the glass and run out! "

"Yeah, yeah," said another, "even with all the taxes we usually pay, these idiots can't even come up."

"So," Oliver rubbed his chin, he heard the people around him quiet down, and this playboy on the surface asked casually, "Mr. Luthor, aren't you upset with the superheroes in your city? "

"It's not that I don't like him, I just don't like him, I think," Luther said slowly, "We ordinary people should live like ordinary people, and ordinary people should have the standpoint of ordinary people. The peace of the city shouldn’t depend on a mutant, once we are in danger, we turn to a mutant for help, the taxes we pay every year, the police, doctors, and firefighters can’t be worth a mutant?”

"Lex," said Justin Hammer, who had been grinding his feet on the carpet with his head down, "I don't want to listen to your arguments, I just want to do one thing..."

When everyone looked out the window, they only heard the sound of sirens, ambulances and helicopter propellers, but there was no sign of Superman at all.

Hammer swallowed his saliva, he took a deep breath, and shouted: "Help, Superman, help, the house is about to collapse, Superman, help!"

Hammer spoke first, and everyone shouted immediately.

Luther turned around, raised his hands and pressed them, Luther said with a comforting tone, "Everyone, please calm down, rescue is on the way, he will come anytime, anywhere. Mr. Stark is in his The moment your energy shield appeared, you called Superman's name, didn't you?"

Luther took a leisurely look at the watch on his left wrist: "From the time Superman hears the call, at most 2 minutes, your superhero will arrive."

Tony put the watch he was twisting in his hand into the pocket of his suit, he couldn't help shivering, the cold wind blew in through the cracks in the broken glass, it was extremely cold—but his heart was extremely cold, in 2 minutes, Superman took his The fastest flight speed, flying from Smallville, Kansas to Manhattan, New York, only takes 2 minutes at most.

Obviously, Luthor knows Superman very well. He is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, with vertical pupils staring at the flying red cloak, spying on Superman's movements, capturing Superman's actions, and analyzing Superman's abilities.

Oliver glanced at Tony from the corner of his eye, and said, "It seems that Mr. Luthor still wants Superman to save you, right?"

"Of course, I don't want to die," Luther said mockingly, "I was so sick that I wanted to vomit, and it turned out that the person I hate the most came to save me."

The next second, outside the cracked glass, by the swimming pool, Superman slowly descended from the sky, and then, a golden lightning flashed, and the Flash stood beside Superman.

"Superman, Superman is coming!"

"Superman is here to save us!"

"Thank God," Oliver glanced at his eyeballs and turned away from his Flash, then looked at Superman with a comforting smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Luthor said that Superman only needs 2 minutes. It's coming."

Oliver looked at Superman's frown, he knew that Superman knew the meaning of his hint, so he didn't speak any more.Tony glanced sideways at Oliver, but he didn't say a word.

Through the cracked glass, "Everyone, don't be afraid, I'll rescue you right away," Superman said, while moving his eyes to scan the venue inch by inch, his perspective eyes carefully inspected the delicately balanced architectural venue , he said: "Please calm down, I have to weld the crooked steel bars first."

Superman's penetrating sight swept across the four corners of the venue, and he could see clearly that under the half of the ruins of the collapsed venue, those who were crushed under the steel bars that collapsed from the roof were already dying.

Superman was very anxious, but he knew in his heart that he had to get out the surviving people on the other side before he could rescue those under the steel bars.

"Flash," Superman called out. Flash tilted his head to look at the person, and Superman commanded: "You wait here, this house is about to collapse, I need to weld steel bars."

"Okay." The Flash replied.

Superman walked to the corner of the glass curtain wall in the southeast corner of the venue. He used a little force with both hands, and the outwardly twisted steel bars were straightened. Heat eyes shot out from his eyes, and the exposed steel bars were welded. Then came the Northeast Finally, Superman walked up to the glass, and he said to the people inside: "I'm going to cut the glass, and then the Flash will send you downstairs."

Everyone stared at Superman's movements and nodded in unison.Superman turned his head and glanced at The Flash, who nodded in response.

Superman exhaled a big mouthful of frozen breath towards the glass, and thick frost covered the cracked glass, and then the hot line of sight in Superman's eyes cut out a square rectangle, and Superman tapped lightly with his finger, Grab the ice layer together with the glass and lift it out.

The exit has been opened, and these rich people who are still in shock pass through the cut hole one by one. The Flash picked the little lightning next to his ear, and when he walked up to these rich people, he raised his finger and pointed to the edge of the roof , The Flash said: "I will take you to run down from here."

Superman only heard these rich people take a breath in unison. Although they saw a flash of lightning flying up from under the building, it is one thing for the Flash to fly up the building wall with ease, and being led by the Flash vertically from the roof Running down the wall is another thing.

This is much more exciting than jumping off a building.

"Superman," Hammer yelled. Standing outside the glass curtain wall and looking through the broken glass and steel bars to check the situation of the buried survivors, Superman glanced back at him. He shouted, "I'll give you one hundred thousand."

Superman smiled slightly, and Hammer saw a little sarcasm in Superman's light smile. Superman said, "Sir, there are still buried people here, and they are still alive."

"I'll give you 50, and you take me down!" Superman didn't even bother to pay attention to him, and Hammer raised the price: "80, [-], US dollars, Superman, think about it!"

Superman walked into the venue step by step. He carefully calculated the location of the steel bars that needed to be cut and moved, and calculated how to move the welded steel bars so as not to cause a more serious collapse.

Luther let out a smirk. He didn't bother to pay attention to Hammer's behavior like a nouveau riche. Hammer looked over and his eyes were full of anger. Luther waved to the lady closest to him and said, "Ladies first."

The lady took a deep breath and walked towards the Flash, and the Flash said to the lady: "Don't be afraid, lady, most likely you will only feel the momentary weightlessness, close your eyes, and I will send you down. ’ The lady forced a smile and nodded.The Flash said to the rich people gathered together: "Please line up, I will send you down one by one."

A flash of lightning suddenly shot out, the lady disappeared from the spot, and a golden thread ran around the platform many times, and the golden thread extended along the building wall to the road in an instant.One second, two seconds, one person, two people.

Luther walked towards the end of the line, Tony followed Luther's footsteps, Oliver thought for a while, he chose a position in the men's line that was neither forward nor behind, Luthor stood by the glass curtain wall, he looked at Superman Busy in the venue, Tony came to him, Luthor raised his head, he looked at Tony with surprise on his face: "Mr. Stark is here, do you have something to say to me?"

Tony stood still in front of Luther, he leaned forward slightly, with a little oppression, he lowered his voice, the people next to him couldn't hear it, but the voice could be heard clearly by the little Superman, Tony said: "Mr. Luthor, from the beginning of the banquet to the explosion, you have been not far or close to me. Isn't there a reason for this?"

Luther's hands were in his pockets. They were on the top floor of the building, but the thin suits couldn't keep out the cold at all. Luther's voice was trembling, maybe it was because of the cold, or maybe there were other reasons, he said: "Stark What do you think the reason is?"

"For example, someone is following you," Tony whispered slowly, "For example, you are following someone else."

"You know, Mr. Stark," said the rich man in the metropolis, shrinking his neck, staring at Tony's brown eyes, "accusations without evidence are slander, and I don't want to waste my precious time refuting you Statements without evidence."

"Ah," Luther sighed softly, and his words carried a deep meaning: "We are all in the bureau, Mr. Stark, why don't you think about it, the one you call someone is actually not me. ?”

Tony paused, his hands clenched into fists.

Luther chuckled lightly, and said, "We're all in the bureau, I just hate Superman, but I still love this world," Luther raised his hand, and patted Tony on the shoulder like an old friend, his gaze was Looking in through the cracked glass, Tony suddenly realized that Luthor's words were probably not intended for him. Luthor said: "Mr. Stark, and some people, they want to get rid of all those who stand in their way." people on the road."

Luthor said, "For example, Stark." Superman paused for a moment while holding on to the rebar, but this was just a Kryptonian. After a subtle pause, his movement continued, and Superman cleared the distance channel. The steel bars on the nearest living person cut the steel pipe inserted into the person's body.

When Tony heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly. He knew that the Stark in Luther's mouth must be referring to his parents, and some people in Luther's mouth must be talking about Hydra.

"For example, the Justice League." Luther said casually: "Good luck, Mr. Stark, I hope we can meet again during the Martin Luther King Day holiday."

Could it be that Hydra will...

Tony asked, "What do you mean?"

"You understand what I mean, you are a smart man, Mr. Stark, you don't need me to talk nonsense."

After speaking, Luther followed the team and walked forward without any further explanation.The speed of the Flash moving people was very fast, and most of the people standing on the platform had disappeared, and soon it was the turn of the penultimate person, that is, Luther.

Luther disappeared on the spot, Flash ran back, and Tony was also sent to the bottom floor. Tony swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressing the strong feeling of vomiting after the sudden weightlessness, "Boss!" It was Happy's voice, and Tony turned to face Walk with Happy.

"Go, take me home." Tony said, since Superman has arrived in New York, the person who is inseparable from Superman should also bring the child.

Luther clearly knew something, wouldn't the person who is raising the child at home now know?

He doesn't believe it!

He believed that his name was Tony Big Shit!
