American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 104 Return to Queens

"...Oh, is this the legendary Infinity Stone? Beautiful... beautiful!" The man in the suit's eyes suddenly became fanatical. He took a step forward and looked at the Mind Stone.

Eric glanced at him, then put his things away.

This is one of his trump cards, and it is also what the Red Skull covets day and night.

To this end, the Red Skull, the leader of the organization behind the great empire that once ruled Europe, did not hesitate to take a huge gamble.

But... now he has reached an agreement with the owner of the gem, and this time, he will not fail again.

When he took over the gem, he also learned from the original owner of the gem that the Mind Gem's control over the mind is not instantaneous, but leaves a psychological imprint on the creature at the moment of contact.

Perhaps everything is normal with that creature, but once the mental imprint in the gem is activated, then even without contact, it can be controlled a second time.

Eric has a list in his hand, and on that list are all people who have been injected with psychological imprints.

Among them, there are many names that make Eric, the fifth-level mutant Magneto, shine.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, Mr. Magneto..." Seeing Magneto's extremely vigilant eyes, the man in the suit quickly took a step back and restored his elegant posture. "I am indeed very interested in this kind of alien technology, but... compared to controlling other people's consciousness, I prefer to change their life form - the flesh, as well as the internal organs and tissues."

Eric gave it a cold look and then put the Infinity Stone away again.

"Don't worry, as long as you can get those guys to stay there, they won't be able to get out." Eric said confidently.

The man in the suit exclaimed: "As expected of a Level 5 mutant, you have such a broad mind, it's hard for others to even dream of matching you!"

After a pause, he continued:
"However, Mr. Magneto, you should change your words. It's not you, it's us..."

Under Eric's suspicious gaze, he held his head high and continued:
"To be honest, we at the Life Foundation do have quite a few connections in certain places. I'd venture to say that Mr. Magneto may not be able to compare with us in this regard."

Eric sneered and asked back, "Connections? Talking about connections with our mutant brotherhood?"

The Brotherhood of Mutants has a special meaning among mutant communities around the world.

Especially in the Midwest of the Federation, the poor and backward areas, the more oppressed the mutants are, the more radical their thoughts are, the more admirers their Mutant Brotherhood has, and the more resources they can leverage.

“Nonono…” The man in the suit stretched out a finger and shook it gently.

"Believe me, I know the Brotherhood of Mutants is famous, but compared to our connections, they are still far behind..."

……

In the eastern part of the United States, entering the area originally covered by the space wormhole.

This area was just a ruin a week ago. However, with the addition of Tony and the introduction of intelligent construction robots, many buildings entered the reconstruction stage in just one week and took on the prototype of their original appearance.

Naturally, this will cost a lot of financial resources, but... this is the Stark Group, the top arms dealer in the United States.

Money? Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

As for technology.

In places like these where a superpowered person appears every other day and claims to want to "destroy the world", the things they lack the most are people and technology to rebuild houses.

Looking down from the helicopter, he saw trucks loaded with materials driving on the road, and steel-armed construction robots, with their strong and flexible arms stretched high, replacing human workers who originally needed to climb scaffolding. The scene of the city streets gradually getting back on track shocked Kailus.

Sure enough, the engineers with the best construction technology must come from places where streets and roads are often destroyed.

"Sir, the areas ahead are the disaster areas that were previously designated. These areas have been severely destroyed and therefore cannot support helicopter landing. If you want to go there, you will probably have to walk."

At this time, the pilot sitting in the front side of the helicopter turned his head and gave a considerate reminder.

Nick nodded, then looked down at the satellite map, preparing to direct the team to choose a nearby landing spot, while muttering to himself:

"It seems like we can only walk over."

At the landing site, many military helicopters carrying relief supplies were parked there.

"Why don't we stop somewhere where there aren't many people?" Nick suggested when he saw the crowds of people below.

"Sir, if we change places, we have to dock in the relatively close Queens area," said the pilot.

"It's better than being watched by others..." Nick looked at Kailus beside him helplessly.

The appearance and name of this young hero have been mentioned frequently in the media these days, and he has become an idol in the hearts of many disaster-stricken citizens.

If someone discovered Kailus, it would be difficult for them to walk to the destination.

Fanatical fans exist in every country, especially now that people have experienced a major disaster and are in panic and need a spiritual sustenance. At times like this, personal heroism and the hope for a savior are the strongest.

So the helicopter had no choice but to obey and move to another place to park.

Queens is some distance away from Stark Tower. Although it is also within the disaster area, the damage to the buildings here is not as exaggerated. Most of the houses are still standing and have not collapsed into ruins like other places.

"Oh... Queens."

Looking at the familiar road layout and the colorful signs in front of the houses, Kailus said with a bit of melancholy.

Surprisingly, one day, the name of the poor boy who walked out of this place became known by word of mouth among the citizens.

Hua Hua Hua——

The helicopter's propeller slowly slowed down and stopped on a specially designed lawn.

Kalus and Nick got off the plane. Kalus took off his baseball cap and combed his hair for a while. He felt like he had a lot of energy in his chest, but he didn't know where to start.

Although he was returning home in glory, the clothes he wore were borrowed from Nick.

Within the field of vision, there is an old store with its door open on the corner, and the wind chimes at the door are swaying slightly in the afternoon breeze.

Kailus seemed to suddenly remember something, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked straight to the corner of the street.

"Hey, where are you going...Kelus, you're going the wrong direction." After Nick greeted the helicopter pilot, when he turned around and came to his senses, Kelus had already walked far away, with only his back left.

He then shouted from a distance, and then pointed to the satellite map on the mobile phone in his hand.

"I'm going to meet someone I know," Kaelus replied.
