Those Years when Marvel was a Superhero

New York in December is already very cold, and this year the temperature has dropped to the lowest point in history with meteorological records.

But the prosperity of the metropolis will not subside because of the cold winter.

Because time is approaching the most important holiday Christmas in the West.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is a major supermarket or a variety of stores in a business center, various discounts and promotions have been launched.

This is the most important business season of the year. During this time, even non-wealthy families will find ways to squeeze out a little money.

Buy some Christmas ornaments for your home.

Or maybe find a way to add new clothes or buy a new toy for your child.

Life in New York is not easy. This is the most expensive region in the world.

The heavy stress of life will overwhelm those who are unhappy in life.

Especially for some special people, their life here will be more difficult.

For example, this man who appears in front of us is called Hale.

His dress is a bit strange, although the temperature outside New York is very cold.

However, because of the opening of the central air conditioner in large shopping malls, the temperature of the heater is set very high.

So the temperature inside the mall is actually very high.

People wearing heavy winter clothes outside will take off their thick winter clothes when they come here.

But Hale was very strange. He wore a high-necked winter suit and wrapped his neck all around.

Jeans are paired with rubber-soled shoes, so this dress is very old-fashioned.

Not to mention a pair of cheap-looking gloves.

It looks like gloves made of nylon or other by-products of petrochemical materials.

This pair of gloves looks more like a pair of working gloves, rather than gloves that everyone wears out on holidays.

New York is one of the world's fashion capitals, and it is named after Paris and Milan.

Hale's weird outfit made people passing by keep him a little far away.

Not to mention Hale ’s hair has n’t been trimmed for a long time.

It looks messy, although it seems that he tried to smooth it out before going out.

But this feels even worse, now he looks like a dirty hippie.

The eyes of the people around Hale made him very uncomfortable.

But he can't blame others for their views on himself, because he knows he is not pleasing now.

He just wanted to get things out of the building as soon as possible.

This commercial building in Queens is home to many shops and brand outlet stores.

At the same time, there are many cafes and restaurants, which are the places where residents will come to leisure shopping on holidays.

There is also the ToysUS, the largest toy city in Queens.

The toys here are almost the most complete in Queens, but the toys in toys are almost not cheap.

But before Christmas, even if the toys here are not cheap, there will be countless parents coming here to shop.

In order to give their children a Christmas surprise. Maybe a box of building blocks, maybe a Barbie doll.

Whatever it is, at least on this day the children will receive gifts, which will make them happy for a whole month.

Hale didn't seem to care about the surprised eyes of others, but his footsteps revealed his lack of confidence.

It seemed that he was a little daunting and finally stepped into this toy store.

"It's just a gift, I can afford it." Hale whispered to himself.

He put his hands in his pockets and pinched two crumpled dollar banknotes.

This is all his cash, Hale's job is not easy to find.

Because he always made things very bad, now he can get food from the relief station.

He has no cash income.

The paper money in the pocket is still issued by a kind gentleman yesterday.

He said he was a devout believer, sending meager cash for poor families before Christmas.

This is for the children in those families, giving them a gift they like at Christmas.

Although there is very little money, only twenty-five dollars, Hale is very grateful.

Hale has not bought toys for his son for a long time.

Since he was unable to work and his wife left him.

The situation at home is getting more and more difficult. Now he has no money to pay the property tax.

Maybe the house will be recycled by the government or bank next year.

This may be the last time for Christmas at home, he did not want to see his son enviously watching other children's toys.

The longing eyes always broke his heart.

He couldn't afford too expensive toys, so he lingered on the shelves for a long time.

It wasn't until the salesperson looked at him with a defensive eye that he picked up a Captain America soldier doll who hesitated for a long time.

The soldier's workmanship is not exquisite, and the price is relatively cheap.

But it also costs thirty dollars, but because it is 20% off at Christmas, it only costs twenty-four dollars.

There is still one dollar left, and Hale decides that the remaining one dollar can just bring a kfc burger to his son.

Thinking of the child's happy appearance after seeing the gift, Hale's heart was also a little soft.

The queue for checkout was very long. Behind Hale appeared to be a couple who brought their little daughter to buy toys.

The family looked very harmonious and laughed there. Hale was envious, and he had the same family a few years ago.

And now everything is gone with the wind. Thinking of Hale coming from here without sadness.

"Mr. is a total of thirty dollars." It was Hale's turn to check out. The cashier took the goods skillfully and scanned the code to check out.

But the figures she exposed surprised Hale, and Hale asked inexplicably.

"Isn't it a Christmas sale today? Isn't it a 20% discount on all products?" Hale only had twenty-five dollars in his pocket, and he didn't have the extra five dollars to pay.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hasbro's products are not participating in this promotional discount." The waiter said sorry, though.

But her tone seemed very impatient. She was very busy today and didn't want to mess with a weirdo.

"Please, I only have so many. I have some financial difficulties recently. Can I pay in installments?" Hale requested all of the twenty-five dollars.

"I'm sorry, products less than two hundred dollars cannot be paid in installments." The waiter's tone was still cold.

"You may be able to choose other products."

Although that said, Hale has no choice.

This Captain America soldier can almost be found, the cheapest Captain America doll.

And Hale ’s children have always admired Captain America, this is a role model and idol for children.

Hale hopes that his children will be as strong as the captain and will not be easily defeated in later life.

The cashier looked at Hale with no emotion, which embarrassed him.

He hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a silver necklace from his clothes.

This was a souvenir left by his father. It was a souvenir created after the sterling silver tableware was seized by breaking the secret base of the Nazis in Sweden during World War II.

This has always been meaningful to Hale, but he took it out now, and he shivered and put the necklace on the cash register.

"This is a necklace in sterling silver. It weighs fifteen grams and is worth seven dollars in terms of silver price. I now ask you to lend me five dollars."

Hale ’s pleading was sincere, and his posture was low.

But the cashier shook his head coldly. "If you don't have enough money, you can choose other products." This is like a robot.

Hale is stubborn, and may want to let his child down today.

He picked up the toy preparation and returned to the original place, maybe he could only select some other toys.

As he was about to prepare immediately, the couple who had been lining up behind him stopped him.

"Sir, if you don't mind, I can lend you five dollars first." The lady stopped him and withdrew five dollars from her wallet and wanted to hand it to him.

Say it as a loan, in fact it is a gift, and Hale knew what the other party meant.

"Ma'am, thank you. I'm afraid I can't ask for the money." Hale was very moved, but he had decided to change to a cheaper toy.

I have taken too many charities, I have owed too much.

"This is Mr. Christmas. The gift of the Lord should spread everywhere. Everyone should be happy on this day. If this can help you, it will be our glory."

It seems that the family is still devout believers.

"My mother said that helping others is the source of happiness. If your child can be happy at Christmas because of our help, then we will also be happy."

The younger daughter of the husband and wife is a little bit young, and the voice is a bit childish, and some are milky, but cute.

"So, don't refuse my good intentions, sir." The lady once again handed over the dollar to Hale.

"Thank you ... Thank you." Hale's voice choked a little, and he was ready to accept the offer.

And at the bottom of the crowd of nearly 100 people in line, Li Jie also picked gifts for Christmas.

Including for Mingdi, Li Jie always wanted to correct her thinking.

There are also preparations for Zeng Chu and Peter, both of whom are older children and have no resistance to toys.

He didn't find out what happened at the front of the team because of his perspective.

He was still thinking about asking Peter to come out and talk about the Supreme Master in the afternoon.

While he was thinking about the mage, there was a riot in the front team.

Hale was about to take the money the lady handed him. At the moment he received the money, his pair of worn gloves seemed to have been cut open with a sharp blade.

The part that should have wrapped around the fingers was exposed.

When Hale discovered it was too late. "No." Hale called desperately.

A blue and white arc came from his finger, and the arc was directed toward the person closest to Hale because of the voltage difference.

The lady did not expect such a thing to happen.

A powerful electric current penetrated her body instantly, and her life was only a momentary contact.

Her warm smile still hung on her face, and she had already lost her life.

At this moment, the crowd became panicked and screamed, and the whole team was messed up.

"What did you do! What did you do to my wife!" The man asked incredulously, holding his wife's body.

And the little girl was crying out loud after receiving excessive shock.

"My wife is helping you! And you, and you actually killed her!" The man's youthful menstrual burst out, his blood continuously stimulated by adrenaline.

Anger has made him go to reason. "You are a mutant! You are a mutant! So are you going to kill my wife!"

The man said this and approached Hale quickly.

"Don't come, my gloves are broken, don't come, I will release the voltage first." Hale kept backing away, he wanted to find something to release the voltage in his body.

Li Jie was still thinking about the situation and found that the team began to riot. Many people left their belongings and wanted to leave here.

At this time, the originally obstructed line of sight could only see clearly what was going on.

A female body lay on the ground, beside her was a crying little girl.

And a man who looks like the woman's husband is approaching another man aggressively.

Hale continued to shrink and dodge. He lacks control of his own power.

He has become a mutant in the last two years, and he does not want to be a mutant at all.

Because of this power he can't control, there will always be a charge in his body.

The voltage must be released every once in a while, and it is impossible to release the charge unscrupulously in public, which will hurt innocent people.

Because of this ability, he lost the car repair work that he depended on for a living, and his wife ran away, leaving him to live with his children.

Hale does not want to hurt anyone, but the power beyond his control is so dangerous.

Even if he was unwilling, today he still killed a man, a kind mother, and a gentle wife.

Now her husband is crazy and wants to come to him desperately.

But Hale knew that he would hurt him again, and Hale kept retreating.

But the man was too close, and the current leaked from Hale's body was about to move.

The blue and white arc spewed out of his finger at this moment, and Hale shouted desperately, "No!"

The blue electric current hit the man, and Li Jie already knew what was happening here, the moment the electric current concentrated on the man's body.

Li Jie has come to the man's side, he can't get up quickly in the crowd, but fortunately, even if he arrives.

A metal railing used to maintain order was thrown over by Li Jie.

The more conductive metal posts attract a lot of current. A strong electric current struck a metal column and crackled.

And the splashing current messed up the voltage of this store. There is a continuous air switch tripping and power failure.

The whole floor fell into darkness.

When Hale released all the electric charges, he collapsed to the ground weakly, still talking in his mouth. "sorry Sorry."

Li Jie now has no time to control him, and now he is checking the vital signs of this man who was electrocuted.

The pupils begin to dilate and breathing and pulse begin to weaken. There was a slight subcutaneous bleeding, and the tongue coating also had some bleeding symptoms.

Li Jie started cardiopulmonary resuscitation for men, which were some first aids learned from Frank.

"Who can **** calm down and call a doctor to come over!" Li Jie gave the man a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, watching the roaring crowd roar.

When the patrolling police came here, someone finally called Li Jie to call the doctor.

At this time, Li Jie had given the man a five-minute heart compression.

If he stops, the man's heartbeat will stop immediately.

The police who came to help could not get in the way, but could only protect the little daughter of this family from being injured in the crowd.

Hale was also controlled by the police, and he now seemed to be recovering a little.

It's not as weak as it was when the electricity was first discharged.

He looked at everything he had caused, and the dead mother with a smile on his face.

The little girl crying.

There are also men who do not know life and death because they hurt themselves. His heart is extremely regretful.

He hates everything he has caused, he hates the hard life after losing his job.

At this moment his inner despair continued to enlarge.

A small amount of electricity was accumulated in his body, and he gave the policeman who controlled him a bit of electricity to make him a little paralyzed.

Then grabbed the pistol in his waist and issued the last declaration of life. "I hate mutants !!"

When he touched it, m1911's bullet passed through his brain, and red blood and gray brain fluttered around.

The toy he was going to bring to the child was also contaminated. The bright red blood stained the stars and stripes behind Captain America.

When the gunshots sounded, Li Jie understood what was happening not far behind him, but he could not stop now.

Because there is another life in his hand.

When the doctor finally arrived and handed over to Li Jie, Li Jie's expression was a little numb and there were a group of paparazzi reporters, or so-called free media people, who appeared with the doctor for a while.

They are not regular TV station staff, they usually collect their own news and sell it to the TV station.

This is also true of the two who came today. They were overjoyed to see the **** scene on the scene.

They don't care about the tragedy of the two families behind this matter ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ For them this is the green dollar.

"Wow, it's really good luck today, this is the first number of mutant attacks it has today." A paparazzi asked his companion.

"The third or fourth." The companion replied. "The news is all in US dollars."

The two were very excited to take live photos and videos.

In a word, how come it is bloody, the more able to get people's eyes, the better, as for intensifying contradictions or something, this is not their business.

While they were excited, they grabbed the paparazzi's collar with a big hand.

"You said the same attack happened several times today!" Li Jie's voice was angry and cold.

The paparazzi couldn't help swallowing with fierce eyes.

"Man calm down, you want to know that I can tell you, but please don't do it to me." (To be continued.)
