Chapter 73 - 72: Saving Electro

Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Saving Electro

Gwen's house.

Gwen entered through the second floor window wearing her outfit, and her battle attire was soaked from coming in from the heavy rain.

[Miss Gwen, do you want me to turn on the heating mode?]

[He can evaporate all the water in the suit.]

"Is there such a function?"

Gwen was a little surprised: "Turn on the heating mode."

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of water vapor was immediately emitted from the suit: "Wow, this function is amazing."

"Red Queen, was it you who thought of this or was it Arthur?"

[It was the master's idea, and most of the suit's functions were designed by him.]

Hearing this answer, Gwen felt a warmth in her heart.

After changing her clothes, Gwen went downstairs.

By chance, George was coming back, and seeing that Gwen was home at that time, George asked in surprise: "You left early today, did something happen?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see my dear parents."

The couple smiled at the same time.

"Dinner is ready, come eat."

Helen cooked dinner for the two of them tonight, and father and daughter walked together talking and laughing.

It's basically about the content of Arthur's books.

Helen, who couldn't understand the matter, suddenly became curious.

Are these books really that good?

As a housewife, she also had some interests for a while.

The TV is broadcasting the Hammer Industries press conference.

For this big conference, Justin Hammer called many journalists.

And he was willing to give them money to have them broadcast the press conference live.

To record this historic moment.

"Father, don't you need to go to the place to maintain order?

Gwen asked curiously.

Usually, such a large place requires the police to go in to maintain order.

One of them is the fear that a stampede will occur.

The other is the concern that antisocial elements will take up arms and appear on the premises.

In an environment where weapons are not allowed, nothing will be too surprising.

George was surprised: "Gwen, you used to call me Daddy..."

Gwen realized this wasn't good, she called Arthur that these days.

He immediately explained, "Since the school drama club recently invited me to make a guest appearance, I played the king's daughter.

This is how it happened...

George understood.

"Well, I was originally going to, but when I thought about that kind of boring press conference again, I gave up."

"Anyway, there are enough security personnel on site, even if something happens, they can be suppressed."

George was right.

After all, this is a press conference held jointly by the military and Hammer Industries, and the military personnel present at the scene are all prepared.

They can prevent any accident from happening.

If there were people shooting with firearms, they would likely have been tackled and shot on the spot by the military hidden in the auditorium before the shooting started.

Therefore, the security force of the New York Police Department is not that important.

It's rare for George to be so free for a while.

Originally, George wanted to change the channel to watch the news live, but almost every program was broadcasting the press conference live simultaneously.

"Justin Hammer is actually very rich!"

As commissioner of the New York Police Department, he definitely knew what Justin Hammer was doing.

He had no choice but to watch this boring press conference.

He believes that if there is any sudden and serious case in New York City, it will be stopped as quickly as possible.

Now let's have dinner with the family first.

But soon George stopped eating, because there was a commotion at the press conference.

Tony appeared, and then the Hammer Industries steel soldiers, or as they called them Hammer drones, began shooting indiscriminately.

The military anticipated every possible situation, but they did not expect that the attackers were actually the robots above.

George immediately stood up: "Damn it, I'm going there right now!"

The scene became chaotic, and many live broadcast signals were interrupted at this moment.

Soon after, another real-time news story arrived.

"Suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared on the streets of New York, with electric currents running through his entire body.

"This individual is probably a mutant..."

On the TV screen, a blue person looked around, not understanding anything, and many viewers watched with curiosity.

As more and more people watched, the confusion in that person's eyes grew more intense.

"What's this again!"

George is now incapable of duplication and is paralyzed, not knowing which location he will go to.

After thinking for a while, George immediately took out his cell phone: "Call a group of police officers and follow me to the square next door."

In George's heart, it is clear that the safety of people's lives is even more important.

The military is already there, plus Iron Man is on the scene.

There shouldn't be any problem.

And even if there is a problem.

It was also an accident caused by the military itself and Hammer Industries, and no one else could be blamed.

George didn't say goodbye, he just put on his clothes and left the house.

Helen looked at the person glowing blue on the TV and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Mom, I'm full too."

"I'll go upstairs to do it first..."

After speaking, Gwen went upstairs without waiting for her mother to respond.

"Ah~ The father and daughter have the same personality."

After returning upstairs, Gwen immediately put on her costume and asked the Red Queen to turn on the projection.

The spectators present also calmed down.

"Red Queen, hack into these people's devices and shut them down."

[Yes, Miss Gwen.]

Soon Gwen walked up to Max, and Max had a sad look on his face: "Spider-Woman, I don't know what's wrong with me."

Max struggled to explain his experience to Gwen.

The Red Queen also analyzed Max's Skill through the mask's analysis function.

[Miss Gwen, the analysis is complete.]

[It's exactly as we imagined.]

Gwen knew this would have to be delayed until Jean and the others arrived, and only they had experience dealing with this type of mutant.

But at the moment it's in the dark.

A sniper took aim at Gwen and Electro.

"Damn mutant."

"Go to hell and you too, Spider-Woman!"

There are many people with discrimination against mutants in the crowd.

When everything is considered free, it is easy to create disasters.

Like this moment.

The shooter pulled the trigger regardless of George's orders.

The barrel of the gun immediately exploded into sparks, and at the moment the bullet was ejected from the chamber.

Gwen sensed the danger.

She manages to dodge.

But the man in front of her couldn't dodge, so Gwen decided to throw the spider web mark in desperation.

I hope she can dodge the bullet's path.

"Gwen, leave it to me!"

"Jean!"

As the bullet approached the two of them, it was blocked, as if there was an invisible wall of air before their eyes.

The sound of the gunshot being fired also attracted the attention of everyone present.

For a time, the scene was also in panic.

As the target of the shooting, Max felt even more disturbed.

But when he saw that Spider-Woman was still there, he didn't seem too nervous.

George was furious: "Whoever fired the shot, you didn't get my order."

"Look, who is this?"

Jean slowly fell from the air and reached Gwen's body.

If he hadn't arrived in time, perhaps the shot would have hurt Gwen.

Using Psychic Ability, the shooter was quickly found.

The man threw up his hands, stunned.

George saw himself too.

He immediately became enraged. This man is a well-known racist in the NYPD.

But he just couldn't find any evidence of it.

His favorite thing to do is stop black people when he's on patrol.

He once nearly shot an innocent 15-year-old black boy if he hadn't been accompanied by his peers.

"After we finish this situation, come to my office alone!"

"It's a mutant!"

In the crowd, someone immediately guessed Jean's identity.

Logan and Rogue also walked over at this moment and were immediately relieved.

Fortunately, there were no casualties at the scene.

Otherwise, all Mutants will be relabeled.

Compared to Spider-Woman, the X-Men are obviously not as famous.

After all, the official side is deliberately suppressing information about the X-Men, and what needs to be careful is that too many people know about the X-Men.

Instead, it changed the public's perception of Mutants.

The perception most people have of Mutants today is cruel.

So when Jean appeared, the crowd began to argue.

"Guys, don't worry."

"They are my friends."

With Spider-Woman giving the answer, everyone calmed down.

After all this time, she has a huge fan base.

The right to speak is naturally present.

Gwen held the speaker and continued, "Don't worry, guys, the crisis has already been resolved."

"Thanks to the X-Men's help this time!"

X-Men?

This term is unfamiliar to most people, but if you are willing to look it up online.

It is still possible to find some traces.

With Rogue and Jean's skill, Max returned to his original state.

But he also fainted and fell.

"That's normal when someone awakens their powers."

Jean explained to Gwen.

"So what's he going to do now?"

Rogue stood up, "My powers are only temporary, let's get you back to the Xavier Institute now."

"We are X-Men from the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, we are all Mutants and we specialize in incidents involving Mutants."

The speaker in Gwen's hand was still on, so everything Rogue said was transmitted.

These words were definitely taught by Professor X.

This time the main focus is a featured profile!

Logan really didn't want to say this line: "Now, let's get this guy back to the institute."

"He will learn to control his power in the future and become an X-Man who can help everyone."

shame, shame...
