Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 64 Two people

What Happy Hogan said about Hell's Kitchen being in great chaos right now was no joke.

In fact, when Suze and Rocket Raccoon drove their new car to Hell's Kitchen, they were a little bit unbelievable that the desolate, broken and dead city in front of them, as if it had just experienced a zombie crisis, was actually in New York.

"It seems that this slum is not included in the government's renovation plan." Su Ze parked the car at an intersection, looked up at the red light opposite, then looked around at the deserted scene and sighed.

This is no wonder. Hell's Kitchen itself is a chaotic city similar to a village in the city. Those high-level people don't care about the lives of the people living here. Instead of wasting time here, they would rather focus their energy on other places.

"It feels a bit like the void, but it's more primitive here." Rocket Raccoon also expressed his thoughts, but he quickly focused his attention on Suze. "What should we do next? I feel like there are a lot of people secretly watching us."

"They are not staring at 'us', but our 'car'." Su Ze also noticed the prying in the dark corners on both sides of the road, and he knew very well what the owners of those eyes were thinking.

In this city where right and wrong are unclear and gradually becoming chaotic, driving a sports car through the streets is definitely not the right choice.

This is like carrying a bag of bacon and walking in the wilderness where wolves are rampant. As long as there is one hungry wolf that cannot suppress its animal nature, the entire pack will rush over and eat it up, even down to the bones.

The red light turned green and Su Ze stepped on the accelerator.

"Let's go to the safe house that Happy prepared for us. I'll swipe my credit card and change it to a less attractive vehicle then."

"Are you sure it's safe to use your credit card at this time?" Rocket Raccoon tilted his head. "Don't forget, we were attacked because we were driving a SHIELD vehicle. Those guys won't let it go. They will definitely monitor the usage records of the card in your hand."

Su Ze blinked. Originally, he had the same idea as Rocket Raccoon now, but after walking out of Happy Hogan's office, he changed his mind.

Shaking his head slightly, Su Ze said softly, "Although I don't know the identity of the attackers yet, I am sure that they are not the killers sent by Ms. Kalina."

"Are you talking about the original Lady Kalina, or the Skrull who has disguised herself as Kalina?" asked Rocket Raccoon.

"It's all the same." Su Ze replied. "No matter which one it is, they have no reason to attack me, especially now that you are working with me."

"I also have something to do with this." Upon hearing this, Rocket Raccoon's ears twitched slightly.

At first, Rocket didn't understand what Suze meant, but soon he realized it and said thoughtfully, "You mean, those Skrulls don't want to be exposed at this time?"

"It seems you have figured it out." Su Ze smiled and looked forward. "I am just an ordinary agent. Although I have been to outer space with you, I am far from being an Avenger. If those Skrulls want to deal with me, they will not let me leave the North State Base alive."

When he said this, Su Ze also sighed softly.

To be honest, he really hoped that those Skrulls would attack him.

If the Skrull disguised as Lady Kalina really turned against him and killed him, then he could be said to have completely taken the initiative in the matter.

Su Ze really didn't believe that he, who possessed the Black Obsidian Generals and the spirit of Thanos, would be unable to defeat those little green men. Once they started to take action, the Skrulls' conspiracy would be revealed. At that time, the Avengers would naturally rush to the front line.

On the other hand, not only can I go into the dark and save Ms. Kalina who knows my true identity, but I can also use this incident as a stepping stone to truly carve out a place for myself in this world.

However, judging from the current development, the Skrulls are not fools, and their plan is more comprehensive than I thought. "Although it is not stated explicitly, your current identity on Earth is a member of the Avengers, and given your relationship with Thor, even Wakanda would have to think twice if they wanted to touch you, let alone the Skrulls."

Suze turned his head to look at Rocket Raccoon, then continued with a smile.

"So in this situation, what do you think the chances are that they will take the initiative to attack us?"

"But according to what you said, apart from those Skrulls, it seems that there is no other force that will attack us, and they have accurately predicted our route of action." Rocket Raccoon frowned.

"That's why I said this matter is rather troublesome. It's easier to avoid an open attack than a hidden one. We can't act rashly before we get decisive evidence." Su Ze murmured.

The sports car drove onto the highway and drove around the eastern half of Hell's Kitchen.

This road is a branch route between Boston and New York. Usually, there are countless vehicles traveling on this road, but now, it is unusually empty. There are only more than ten cars in sight.

The safe house prepared by Happy Hogan is not in Hell's Kitchen. This slum occupied by various gangs is obviously not included in Stark Industries' development plan.

The place they chose was a suburb more than 20 kilometers away from Hell's Kitchen. From a distance, they could see several villas scattered around an artificial lake in the lush woods like stars.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a paradise in the suburbs of the city. What is even more unimaginable for Su Ze is that such a large place had been forgotten by Stark Industries for so long.

Rocket Raccoon yawned, licked his nose with his tongue, and smacked his lips as he spoke. "Kaia, I still suggest you tell the Avengers about this. If you tell them early, maybe they can be prepared in advance."

"It's not like I haven't thought about this." Su Ze knew what Rocket meant.

In fact, as early as when he walked out of Ms. Kalina's office, he thought about going directly to Natasha or Steve Rogers and telling them all about it.

After all, the invasion of the Skrulls is no trivial matter. If we are not prepared for it, the outcome is likely to cause even greater chaos.

But when he really took a step, Su Ze hesitated.

The Skrulls have replaced Ms. Kalina, and completed the replacement in a very short time. At the same time, no one except themselves noticed anything unusual. Could this also prove that there is more than one replaced person in the Avengers base today?

Even thinking about it more seriously, what if even the heroes of the Avengers were replaced by the Skrulls?

The remnants of the Mind Gem and the reminder of the bloody words have always lingered in Su Ze's mind. This is a world that should not exist.

What does 'should not appear' mean?
Su Ze took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Rocket, you know what."

"Right now on Earth, besides you, I only believe there are two people who have not been replaced by the Skrulls."
