Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 62 Explosion and Corpse

Twenty minutes later.

In the chief financial officer's office at Stark Industries' New York headquarters.

Happy Hogan handed a cup of brewed black tea to Suze, then turned around and took a glass of lemonade and handed it to Rocket Raccoon.

After doing all this, he slowly returned to his seat and looked at the man and the raccoon sitting in front of him with a worried look on his face.

".So, according to what you said, you were attacked by unknown people after entering Hell's Kitchen, right?"

"In fact, we haven't even entered Hell's Kitchen yet." Su Ze blew away the hot air, then raised his cup and took a sip of black tea.

He was in a very bad state now. Although he had tried his best to calm himself, his heart was still beating very fast. No wonder, he had just experienced a high-speed chase, and the excitement was not much less than hunting down the Vanguard in the middle of the night.

After confirming that he was being targeted, Su Ze immediately thought of Happy Hogan who was also in New York. Judging from the current situation, if he rashly entered Hell's Kitchen, he would most likely encounter a more serious attack.

So after getting off the bridge, Su Ze changed direction and headed all the way to Happy Hogan's territory. Fortunately, he was not attacked again on the way.

"It's strange. Who would dare to attack SHIELD in today's environment? And your whereabouts are relatively secretive. Such a targeted attack should be impossible." Happy Hogan murmured.

After all, he used to be Tony Stark's driver, and he was also responsible for Tony's security measures. Encountering this situation, Happy Hogan was a little confused.

"When we set out, Rocket had already checked the surrounding situation. We were not followed along the way. The attackers started when we got on the bridge." Su Ze glanced at Rocket Raccoon beside him and continued.

"I suspect those guys are coming for us. This kind of organized and planned attack cannot be carried out by an ordinary force. What I am curious about now is their purpose."

"Since they can know your route without tracking you, is it possible that someone in your SHIELD exposed your mission trajectory?" Happy Hogan guessed tentatively.

This kind of thing has happened before. When SHIELD had not yet disbanded, the people of Hydra had used the "Clairvoyance" plan to monitor the movements of everyone on a large scale and with high density.

However, in response to the question raised by Happy Hogan, Rocket Raccoon shook his head and spoke.

"Impossible. I have already checked the car. There are no surveillance or eavesdropping devices. The road to the bridge was a temporary plan made by Kaia. If we followed the original route, the gang should be waiting where we go to the safe house."

Hearing this, Su Ze also agreed. "Indeed, I changed my course of action halfway through. From the beginning, I didn't plan to go to the safe house, so I was even more surprised as to how they targeted us."

After a pause, Su Ze thought of something and asked.

"By the way, Happy, can road control and satellite monitoring monitor our route from a distance and use it as a basis for setting up an ambush?"

"You mean, those people hacked into the road monitoring department?" Happy Hogan heard the implication of Su Ze's words. He touched his chin and pondered the feasibility of this matter, frowning slightly.

There aren't many options for being able to launch such a targeted attack without setting up a stalker.

Or, those people have deployed personnel at all major traffic arteries leading into New York, but this is almost impossible to do and a completely thankless task. Moreover, since they can mobilize so many people, there is no need to target Su Ze.

Another possibility is, as Su Ze just mentioned, using the monitoring facilities on the road to track Su Ze's route of movement, and then mobilizing manpower to carry out the attack.

This possibility is very high, but the question is, what is their purpose. This question is not only strange to Su Ze himself, but also to Happy Hogan, so when he thought of this, Happy Hogan spoke.

"Kaiya, I know that confidentiality is very important to agents, but can you tell me what your mission is in Hell's Kitchen this time? If you can't tell me, forget it."

"There's nothing to hide." Su Ze put the cup on the table and continued, "You've been in New York for so long, you must have heard of the legend about the 'devil' in Hell's Kitchen."

Hearing the name, Happy Hogan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and began to ponder, and not long after, a piece of past gossip appeared in his mind.

"Are you talking about the vigilante who showed up in Hell's Kitchen after the Battle of New York?" Happy Hogan answered uncertainly.

He has never paid much attention to these news. After all, after the establishment of the Avengers, there have been many guys who show their journalistic charm and always make up all kinds of incredible supernatural events to attract attention.

There are not only the demon vigilantes in Hell's Kitchen in New York, but also angels in New Jersey, aliens in Washington, DC, and all kinds of weird stories.

In the past, these things would only be spread in a small range as urban legends, but after the Avengers appeared in front of people, similar supernatural events were moved to the big screen.

Not only tabloid weeklies, but even some large media outlets began competing to report on the story, so Happy Hogan has always been disdainful of it.

"Don't tell me the demon vigilantes in Hell's Kitchen are real." Happy Hogan's eyes widened. "I always thought it was something made up by people who were oppressed by gangs."

"It's true, and it's not just him. According to intelligence, there are some unregistered superpowers in Hell's Kitchen." Su Ze spread his hands. "My goal this time is to find them and confirm their identities."

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered."

Happy Hogan frowned, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"There were several explosions in Hell's Kitchen a few days ago. Rumor has it that there were riots caused by crazy people who couldn't accept the crisis of extinction. Some people also said that there was a conflict between gangs, but someone claimed that he saw the body of an alien."

"Alien corpse?"

Suze and Rocket Raccoon looked at each other and said in unison.

"Yes." Happy Hogan nodded seriously. "That person made it sound plausible. He said it was a green humanoid corpse that looked like a Martian from a movie."

"It's the Skrulls!" Rocket Raccoon suddenly turned his head and looked at Suze.

But after hearing the name, Happy Hogan was stunned. "What are Skrulls? Aliens?"

"Anything further is confidential."

Su Ze raised his hand and patted Rocket's leg without leaving a trace, then changed the subject.

"Can you tell me the identity of that guy who claimed to have seen the alien corpse?"
