Kryptonian: Man of Steel

Hiratsuka Shizuka kept looking at the rearview mirror while driving, her heart beating like a drum, almost bursting through her chest. The figure of the monster loomed in the night, but it was approaching like the god of death.

With every breath, she could feel the suffocating breath of death behind her, as if it would swallow her at any time.

She held the steering wheel tightly, and her fingers turned slightly white due to excessive force.

She silently said in her heart: "Calm down, there must be a way." But the fear and tension came like a tidal wave, and it was difficult to calm down.

Suddenly, an abandoned factory appeared not far ahead. The dilapidated factory building looked particularly gloomy in the night. But at this moment, it was Hiratsuka Shizuka's only hope.

She turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car made a sharp turn in an instant. The tires made a sharp friction with the ground, as if playing the prelude to this life-and-death escape.

The car rushed into the gate of the abandoned factory, and the wheels made a deafening echo in the empty workshop. Dust and debris were raised high, like a sudden storm.

Shizuka Hiratsuka got out of the car quickly and looked around. The abandoned factory was in a mess, with rusty machines and messy items piled up like mountains. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her fear.

She quickly observed the surrounding environment and looked for a place to hide.

Suddenly, she found a tall shelf, where the old goods were stacked layer by layer, forming a natural barrier. She was delighted and decided to climb up and hide temporarily.

The goods on the shelf had been piled up for a long time, and the surface was covered with dust and cobwebs. Shizuka Hiratsuka climbed carefully, and every step seemed particularly difficult.

She held her breath, fearing that any sound would attract the attention of the monster. Finally, she climbed to the top of the shelf with difficulty and curled up in a corner.

She looked through the gap in the shelf and nervously observed the movement outside. The monster also chased in, its figure looming in the darkness, and its eyes flashed with a palpitating light.

It seemed to be looking for Shizuka Hiratsuka's trace, and every step seemed particularly heavy.

Shizuka Hiratsuka held her breath, her heartbeat was like a drum, and she prayed that the peace of this moment would last. But the peace was always short-lived. The monster seemed to have found her trace and began to approach the shelf.

Its footsteps were heavy and powerful, and every step seemed to be knocking on Shizuka Hiratsuka's heartstrings.

She knew that she couldn't sit there and wait for death, and she had to find a way to fight back. She began to look around for tools that could be used, and finally found a few abandoned metal pipes in a corner of the shelf.

Those metal pipes were rusty, but they looked strong. She quickly picked up one and held it tightly in her hand, ready for the upcoming battle.

"Found you!"

A low and hoarse voice sounded in the dark, Shizuka Hiratsuka's pupils shrank, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly. She held the metal pipe tightly and prepared for the battle.

The next moment, she quickly jumped out of the shelf and rushed towards the monster. However, as soon as she jumped out of the shelf, she saw a huge figure rushing towards her.

It was a monster transformed from a small truck. Its body was covered with black flesh and iron body, which looked both terrifying and powerful.

Shizuka Hiratsuka swung forward, and the metal pipe drew a cold light in the air. However, this full-strength attack was like hitting an invisible wall. There was only a crisp sound of "ding", and the metal pipe was easily blocked by the monster with an arm that seemed to be casually extended, without even a slight shake.

The monster's arm was covered with thick iron sheets, like a natural shield, and the layer of flesh and blood was like an adhesive, tightly combining the iron sheets with muscles, making its defense reach an astonishing level. Shizuka Hiratsuka felt an indescribable force transmitted to her arm through the metal pipe. In an instant, her entire arm became extremely sore and numb, and the metal pipe also flew out of her hand and flew to the side. She staggered back a few steps, and the cement ground under her feet left a series of messy footprints because of her rapid retreat. It was hard to stabilize her body.

When she jumped from a height just now, although she rolled in time to relieve the force with her keen intuition, her whole body still suffered a lot of impact. At this moment, she felt severe pain all over her body, as if every inch of muscle and bone was telling of their fatigue and damage. However, at this critical moment of life and death, adrenaline burned in her blood like a raging fire, making her forget the pain temporarily, and only the monster approaching step by step was left in her eyes.

The monster let out a low and shocking roar, and the sound was like a call from hell, which made people feel terrified. It pounced on Shizuka Hiratsuka again, and the speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the limit of human beings.

Shizuka Hiratsuka did not retreat. She quickly bent down to pick up the metal pipe on the ground, clenched her hands, and prepared to meet the upcoming second round of attack.

However, at this moment, she was surprised to find that the monster's speed was more than twice as fast as before, and its strength became more terrifying.

Every movement of it was accompanied by the sound of tearing air, as if even the space was trembling under its power. Shizuka Hiratsuka's heart was beating wildly in her chest. She knew she had to make a change, otherwise the next attack would be too much for her to bear.

"Bang!" A loud noise echoed in the factory. It was the sound of the monster's right hand hitting the ground heavily. Shizuka Hiratsuka relied on her keen intuition to dodge sideways at the critical moment, but the residual power of the attack still made her feel palpitations.

She witnessed how the blow easily penetrated the solid concrete floor, leaving a huge hole with a diameter of one meter, and the surrounding gravel and dust scattered everywhere, like a small earthquake.

Shizuka Hiratsuka gasped, sweat slid down her forehead, dripped on the dry ground, and evaporated instantly. She knew that she could not compete with this monster with her own strength.

Despair spread in her heart, and she shouted hysterically: "What on earth is this!!!"

Just then, a calm and firm voice penetrated the noise of the factory and answered Shizuka Hiratsuka's question: "It's a monster."

This voice was like a clear spring, instantly extinguishing the fear and despair in her heart. Shizuka Hiratsuka looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man with his hands in his pockets appearing at the entrance of the factory.

He was tall and handsome, as if he had walked out of a painting, exuding an indescribable temperament all over his body, which made people unable to help but look at him a few more times.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned. She even suspected that she had hallucinations on the verge of life and death, and imagined that a prince charming came to save her.
