Chapter 396: Central City Science and Technology High School
"What? I dropped it in a middle school. In a fucking middle school in Marvel's New York?"

Hearing Lex's words, Donton responded immediately.

"Do you think I wouldn't be interested in such a nice place?
What's more, you sent me a letter on purpose, didn't you think I would be interested, Lex?

How about making a bet, about whether I can see Spider-Man in this school?
How old should Spider-Man be now?"

"Haha~"

Donton's answer made Lex laugh out loud, and while laughing, Lex responded.

“I knew you’d be interested, Don, so I’ll leave the Hulk to you.

As for betting, I don't really want to bet with you, because I don't know which universe the current Marvel Universe is, and I don't know how old Spider-Man is now.

Anyway, with you taking action, I don’t have to worry about the safety of those children. Thank you, Tang~”

Having said that, Lex hung up the call.

Hearing the busy tone coming from the communicator, Donton let out a comfortable breath, then turned into a ball of fire and disappeared from the corner of the street where he was walking.

As he disappeared...

In other words, shortly before the Hydra incident broke out...

In the Midtown Science and Technology High School, a pretty girl with burgundy hair and a few light freckles on her cheeks was walking in front of dozens of people with a lazy look on her face.

Next to her, another girl who looked a little younger than her was quietly introducing them to the dozens of people behind them.

“Dear parents and lovely children, this is the physics laboratory of Midtown Science and Technology High School.

Although our Midtown High School is just a high school, it is well known that we have always been ahead of other high schools. We are also one of the best high schools in New York and even in the United States.

Our faculty is no different from that of many universities. Our physics and chemistry have surpassed many Tongji universities by a huge margin, reaching the level of excellent universities. Our physics laboratory has also produced many excellent results.

Dear parents and dear children, you can definitely take Midtown High School as your goal.

Maybe I’ll have a chance to be your senior~”

At this point, the young girl who was speaking turned around and pinched the face of a particularly cute little blonde girl behind her.

The blonde girl looked only eight or nine years old, or even ten years old. Feeling the big sister's kind kneading, she also showed a happy smile.

"Haha, you're so cute, what's your name?"

While pinching the little girl's face, the high school girl couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the little girl whose face was pinched by her answered in a baby voice.

“My name is Gwen Stacy, I’m in fourth grade and will be going to high school soon.

But I don't necessarily have to go to your high school. My dad is a policeman and he was transferred recently.

So, maybe I will go to the city where my dad works to study in high school, ah."

At this point, Gwen showed a regretful expression on her face. Looking at Gwen's regretful expression, which seemed like that of a little adult, the high school girl couldn't help but rub her hair again.

While rubbing, the girl turned around and said to the cool red-haired freckled beauty next to her.

"Jessica, look, this girl is so cute~"

"Yeah, little girls are the cutest, but that's because you haven't seen them being ugly."

Jessica, the red-haired, freckled beauty, responded and continued to look around coolly.

Seeing Jessica like this, the girl who was rubbing Gwen's hair didn't care, because she knew Jessica's character too well. That sister is always cool.

Thinking of this, the girl stood up and spoke dutifully to the other parents following behind her.

“Dear parents, for those of you who have received an invitation from our middle school and brought your little ones to visit us, I believe that your children are all outstanding students in various community elementary schools in New York.

Midtown Science and Technology High School is the best high school in New York, and our requirements for students will also be the best in New York, so, all the outstanding children, when you reach the age of high school, you must consider becoming an alumnus of the senior sister..."

At this point, the girl's cell phone suddenly rang, so she took out her phone and took a look.

After a glance, a look of happiness appeared in her eyes, then she stopped talking, leaned close to Jessica and whispered.

“Jessica, help me, my boyfriend texted me.

MIT accepted his application, and I have to help him prepare the essay materials. If it works out, my boyfriend will become my future alumnus, and we can also become Iron Man alumni!"

As she said this, the girl grabbed Jessica's arm and shook it heavily twice.

Seeing this, Jessica nodded coolly and smiled.

"Tsk, I get it, leave this to me.

Just a bunch of little kids and their parents visiting the school."

Having said this, Jessica waved to the girl again. The girl immediately felt relieved and said goodbye to the parents.

After the girl left, Jessica came to the crowd with her hands in her pockets and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry, Connie has something urgent to do, so I will take you on the tour.

I am not interested in science and technology because I majored in liberal arts. My goal for the future is to study law, and I hope that you will patronize my future law firm.

Well, that’s a long way off, but it’s a testament to how good Midtown High School is.

Even though only high school students will grow up here, Midtown High School will help every student establish their life goals.

Although Midtown High School is famous for its science subjects, especially physics and chemistry, its liberal arts subjects are also excellent. This will definitely be the best choice for you.

And we, I'm going to show you around our gym, you're going to love it there."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jessica walked in front with her hands in her pockets, and a group of parents followed behind her, chatting with their children as they walked.

Looking at the various buildings she saw along the way and the smiling students everywhere, Gwen Stacy had a very good impression of this place.

So she gently tugged at her mother's hand and asked in a low voice.

"Mom, can we stay in New York? I like it here and I like this high school very much."

"But we have to follow Dad, otherwise your dad will feel lonely.

But if you really want to go to this high school, we can discuss it with Dad after we go home."

Gwen's mother rubbed her daughter's head affectionately, causing Gwen to look thoughtful.

She likes this high school very much, but she really can't bear to leave her father. It's so difficult to choose...

While Gwen was struggling with this, at the back of the group of parents, two parents who were dressed simply were holding their children and whispered to the boys they were holding.

"How about it, Peter, do you like it here?"

"I don't know. I..."

Listening to his uncle and aunt's words, Peter seemed a little nervous and looked around cautiously.

After taking a closer look, he held his aunt's hand and whispered.

“Tuition here must be very expensive, right?”

"Peter, that's not what you should worry about. You just need to make sure you like it here. You are already in the fourth grade, and you will face the choice of middle school in less than two years. The tuition of Central City High School is indeed very high, but the tuition of other middle schools is not low either.

If you think about it this way, since you are paying money anyway, why not make every penny count?

So, just make sure you like it here~"

At this point, May rubbed little Peter's head affectionately.

Peter has always been a very worry-free child and he is very caring. Even at such an old age, he already worries about the family expenses.

It’s just… Alas, Ben and I lived such a difficult life that such a good child and we suffered a lot.

Life was already difficult enough, and recently, the riots in New York accidentally destroyed Ben's company...

As a result, Ben lost his job again, and life at home became even more difficult...

Thinking of this, Aunt Mei couldn't help but reveal an apologetic look.

I failed to take good care of this lovely child, which always made Peter worry about us and even made Peter seem a little inferior. This was all my and Ben's fault.

Thinking of this, Mei tried her best to smile confidently and then said to Peter.

"Don't worry about us, Peter. Your uncle Ben is about to find a job, and our family will soon be better off."

"I see, and this high school is really great~"

Peter nodded sensibly, then continued to look elsewhere with longing.

For Peter, Midtown Science and Technology High School is much better than the public elementary school he originally attended!

Whether it is the garden or the playground, or now the shiny gymnasium and court, the environment of Midtown High School is better than countless private high schools, not to mention the ordinary Queens public elementary schools.

In Peter's opinion, this high school is simply paradise!
Can I really study here?

I can really go to the paradise in my mind to study...

Boom boom boom! ! !
Just as Peter was thinking of this, a series of explosions suddenly sounded above them!

The violent noise and vibration directly interrupted Peter's reverie, and even made the entire high school, including their group, stop their original actions!
At the front of the tour group, Jessica, who was talking eloquently, also stopped her introduction.

The cool expression on her face disappeared, replaced by anticipation and panic.

The panic is understandable, but the expectation is hard to understand. I don’t know what she is expecting.

Anyway, the next moment Jessica suddenly said loudly to everyone.

“It was an explosion from the sky, and it’s not clear what it was yet.

But don't worry, no matter what the situation, our high school has corresponding emergency response measures.

Please come with us. The stadium is one of the many hiding places in our high school. Whether it is an earthquake or something else, the stadium can be used as one of the evacuation sites. I think it won’t be long before more students and teachers will hide here! "

After she finished speaking, Jessica skillfully led the parents to hide in the training room of the stadium of Midtown High School.

Just as he said, when it comes to emergency preparedness, Midtown High School is indeed quite professional.

Because their high school is located not far from Hell's Kitchen, although the chaos there did not spread here, it still raised the vigilance of Midtown High School and helped Midtown High School establish a more planned and faster emergency response strategy.

Not long after Jessica took the parents and visiting children into the stadium, more students and armed security guards arrived.

Security guards were on duty near the various gates of the stadium, while high school students sat around the stands of the stadium.

Another group of teachers took out food and water hidden backstage at the stadium and distributed some to everyone. They also took out medicines and bandages to help students who had been injured and fallen because they ran too fast.

Sitting in the huge stadium, people were excited, fearful and nervous.

Around this group of visiting children, several high school students were talking carefully.

"Guess what I just saw, God, I saw a big ship flying in the sky, that must be the headquarters of the Avengers!"

"Yeah, that big ship was responsible for the explosion. A lot of missiles exploded over Brooklyn!"

"I also saw three or four Iron Men rushing towards the big ship!"

"Shit, how can there be so many Iron Men!"

"Bullshit, I see clearly, my eyes are not blind, there are just so many Iron Men!"

"Are there any students from the photography club here? Such a big thing just happened, no one took pictures?"

"I took it, but... uh, the picture I took is a little weird!"

"I took a picture of it, too. It's really strange. I shared it on the school forum..."

"Well, I saw it, it's really strange..."

"I saw it too, damn, why is there a bat on Iron Man's chest?"

"And this blue steel armor, why is there an inverted triangle and an S on the chest? Is he cosplaying as Superman?"

"It's so strange, this green armor is so ugly, but it has such strong firepower!"

"Bat...oh my god, is that Batman?"

"What a joke! Those are probably Mr. Tony Stark's bad tastes. He must be cosplaying with his friends..."

All of a sudden, many photos began to circulate among students, and even Jessica Jones took out her mobile phone to take a look.

On the side, the eyes of Gwen, Peter and other children inevitably fell on Jessica's phone.

Things like Batman and Superman, they also want to see them!

Unlike children, parents' minds are not on the so-called photos.

After making sure the child was safe, George Stacy spoke to his lover.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid my vacation is over. Although I've been confirmed to be transferred, I'm still a member of the New York Police Department for the time being, and the department needs my help!"

"I know, just be careful, okay?"

"Don't worry, the chaos this time doesn't seem to be very big, and all the fighting is concentrated in the big spaceship in the sky.

The people in the city were in chaos, but it was nothing compared to the alien invasion of the previous few days, and only the city hall was attacked.

I have no control over City Hall, after all, I am on vacation, and the temporary post I am on is just to help evacuate traffic around Midtown High School.

You guys take a good rest here, the emergency measures of Central City High School are very professional, there shouldn't be any problems."

After he finished speaking, Acting Chief George Stacy said goodbye to his daughter and wife, showed his credentials to the security guard at the stadium entrance, and then left for the nearby streets to lead the police to evacuate traffic and crack down on zero-dollar shopping incidents in the nearby blocks.

only……

What no one expected was.

George had been gone for less than twenty minutes...

The big green guy smashed through the roof of the gymnasium.
