Chapter 2210: Battle of the Twin Cities! (51)_1

The general strength of all characters on Earth No.1 has significantly decreased, especially Gotham, which diminished greatly due to Batman's decline. This decline manifested in the crazies not just being brutal, but not crazy enough.

The old town area upstream of Gotham River is one of the strongest areas in Gotham on Earth No.1, but their strength isn't reflected in quality but rather their indiscriminate attack on any living beings that enter this area.

This resulted in almost no one willing to come to this area except for them, they've been stifling for a very long time now.

When a group of fresh prey burst into the famished wolf pack, the desire for food and carnage surged. After the voice in the radio had disappeared, everyone rushed out of their homes, firing at anything that was alive.

The fierce firepower forced all daring creatures, including Natasha and Stark, to tumble and crawl.

Soon, countless streets descended into a sea of fire, with the pair barely escaping death amid the ruins. Not only them, but most ordinary people couldn't run far without the skills of Natasha and ended up falling into the ruins.

The hunters, armed with machine guns, grenades, rockets, unleashed their firepower on everyone indiscriminately, venting the violence within them without caring who they hit.

"Is this what you wanted?" Natasha asked Stark as she was running, "Did you know that the poison you released would turn everyone into this?"

"This fucking isn't me..."

"Eventually, it will surely turn out like this," Natasha coldly replied, "You, of all people, know the side effects of the desperation virus. You know you're signing your death warrant."

"That's just a phase one virus, I'll optimize it later," Stark deflected, though fear was creeping in his heart. This city called Gotham was too terrifying – their violent behavior was irrational, aimless, completely unpredictable.

This chaos induced fear. It wasn't just that Stark was without his Mecha, but their ferocious eyes, like hungry wolves, made him believe that no matter how powerful he was, he would eventually be devoured by the pack.

They were too starved, which made Stark think of zombies.

The flames of war spread quickly, the streets closest to the Gotham Riverside were completely rendered into ruins, and the bombardment continued on streets even further away.

On the big screen of Times Square in New York, reporters were broadcasting emergency refuge news. Although the event took place at a certain distance from here, this time was different than before.

In the past, whether it was alien invasions or invasions of foreign species attacking, but this time, it was an internal revolt. They don't even know who those dispelling the firepower were.

The mainstream media currently believe this to be a government-made case to eliminate protesters while those manipulating public opinion have shot themselves in the foot.

They wouldn't know that the thing that can defeat all public opinion is called conspiracy theory. The best way to extinguish a public opinion hotspot is not manipulation, nor extinguishing public opinion, but showing the public an even bigger conspiracy.

How could it not be done by the government? Only the government's interests were harmed by the protesters. They created this massacre because they oppose protecting the environment, protecting animals, or transgender rights. They want all idealists to shut up.

This time, it's not just a local public opinion hotspot. Such a large-scale town attack case is rare even in wartime. All of a sudden, the world's attention was focused here.

The Avengers assemble!

Captain America raised his shield. As usual, the superheroes followed him, but this time there were two key members missing, Spiderman and Iron Man.

Captain America didn't mind, but the media and the public did. Why didn't these two step up when a government cover-up massacre was involved? Has the government already bought them off?

This speculation was quite reasonable. Given that Iron Man's identity is public and he is the owner of Stark Group, this kind of person would certainly be in cahoots with the government and military.

And many fans of Spiderman know that Spiderman's financial condition is average. If the government offers a high price, who can guarantee he won't be tempted?

But the public didn't doubt one thing. That is, does Captain America really stand on their side?

During the war, Captain America has always served the military and the government. His image as a recruitment speaker is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Is he really going to save people this time? Or is he going to exterminate the few survivors to silence them?

The public spontaneously blocked the entrance to the war zone to find out. Captain America patiently explained to them and asked them to leave the dangerous zone immediately.

However, as long as the journalist wants, anything can be filmed as a conflict. The charm of journalism was fully evident at this moment. Captain America's original intention of stopping the public from entering the dangerous zone was inaccurately photographed as him raising his fist as if to hit someone.

The public opinion was completely blown up. Numerous people began heading to the periphery of the event, journalists followed the wind, and there was a moment when the place was blocked up.

The others who wanted to save people dared not move. Now, anyone who goes there needs to wear a shit bucket on their head. If they manage to save a few survivors, it's good enough. But if everyone inside is dead, it would indeed become a case of murder and cover up.
