The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 519 It’s just the beginning

Robert finally followed Eternity. Although he seemed a little confused, he did not refuse out loud. This was because Eternity only resurrected the two-thirds of Robert's consciousness that he later completed. The one-third of Robert belonging to this universe was indeed dead.

This way, it would not be against Robert Reynolds' own wishes, and the 9527 universe just does not have a Captain Universe. Robert, who has the heroic side of the Sentinel and various positive emotions, is the best candidate to be the Captain of the Universe.

Yang Le didn't say anything about Yongheng's behavior of asking people to work overtime, because he had a lot of things to deal with.

For example, the post-war arrangements and what surprises his clone had prepared for him.

The post-war cleanup alone was a massive undertaking. Half of New York was razed to the ground, and the few buildings that had managed to survive became dilapidated.

"Ugh!" The evil frog opened its mouth wide and spit out Gwen who had just been swallowed. Yang Le, who had already turned into a water tyrant and was ready, hurriedly washed off the mucus on Gwen's body.

"Honestly, this feels really bad." Gwen looked at the puddle under her feet with disdain. There was a lot of green slime in it. "If you swallow me again next time, I will definitely punch you."

"Relax, relax," Yang Le quickly gave a French salute. "Time is of the essence. Besides, the Exploding Frog's stomach isn't anything strange. It's a pocket universe, nothing disgusting there… Ugh!"

Before Yang Le could finish his words, Gwen punched him in the abdomen. Although the Water Tyrant's shell had a high defense, Spider-Man's strength of tens of tons was no joke. Of course, Gwen didn't really use such a high strength, but with her experience, she knew how to make Yang Le uncomfortable without getting hurt.

"I don't want to talk about that anymore." Gwen grabbed Yang Le's head with both hands and shook it back and forth angrily.

"OK! OK!" Yang Le could only beg for mercy. The non-powerful Shui Batian was just a toy in front of Gwen. Yang Le could only change the subject in a hurry. In a moment of desperation, he shifted the topic to studies.

Gwen, who had just come out of combat, was speechless. She originally wanted to wait until Midtown High School was rebuilt before continuing to go to school. Now, let alone going to school, there was no certainty as to when New York would be rebuilt.

But these have nothing to do with Yang Le. He is not paid by the US government, so there is no reason for him to worry about the city's construction for them. Yang Le has already moved to another city suitable for living, and the school is also preparing to find a new one for Gwen.

Gwen had no objection to Yang Le's arrangement. After all, she only had one friend in Central City High School, so she wouldn't feel much even if he transferred schools. Besides, they could still meet again even if he transferred schools.

When mentioning his only friend, Yang Le immediately remembered Katie's changes and hurriedly told Gwen everything he knew.

Gwen was also shocked after hearing this. After Katie's visit that night, Yang Le also told Gwen about the 616 Universe Phantom Cat. Gwen also had a new understanding of her only friend.

Gwen didn't have any extra thoughts about this. After all, she was also a superhuman, so she would naturally not discriminate against mutants. However, Gwen knew the attitude of ordinary people towards mutants in the 9527 universe, and she was very afraid that Katie would collapse because of this matter.

Worried about her friend, Gwen hurriedly said goodbye to Yang Le and flew in the direction he gave. The split-body suit that could transform at will was indeed very convenient. Even without Uncle Ben in the sky to help hold the spider silk, Gwen could move with the help of the jet backpack.

Gwen is not the only one worried about Katie. In New York City, where the chaos has just ended, another chaos is just beginning.

...

"Su…, Susan…Susan!"

"Oh!"

Susan opened her eyes suddenly, and the first thing she saw was Reed looking at her with concern. After a brief recollection, Susan struggled to sit up.

"Are you okay, Reed? Where are Ben and Johnny? I remember we seemed to be being chased by something. Did we get away?"

"Calm down, Susan." Reid grabbed Susan's shoulders and forced her to look him in the eye. He waited until Susan calmed down before continuing. "I'm fine. As for Ben and Johnny, I can't guarantee anything."

"Can't guarantee it? What do you mean?" Susan looked at Reed in confusion. She didn't think anything big had happened to him. Putting Johnny aside, Reed would never have this attitude if something happened to Ben.

Reid sighed, dropped his hands that were holding Susan, turned around and said to her, "Follow me, and you'll understand when you see it."

Susan was confused, but she still followed Reed obediently. It was then that she realized that she was not on the street where she fainted, but in a darker place. She could only rely on the flashlight in Reed's hand to determine the direction.

"This is the garage under a shopping mall," Reed explained as they walked. "Ben was the first to wake up. To prevent any danger, he moved us all here. Unfortunately, the monsters were making so much noise that the power was cut off."

Susan followed Reed while listening to the explanation. Soon, Susan saw a very bright place. Someone must have lit a bonfire, but the bonfire was surrounded by a wall formed by several cars, so people couldn't see what was inside.

Led by Reed, the two walked in through the gap in the car wall. Susan was stunned when she saw the scene inside, because there was no bonfire inside, and the light source was a human-shaped object with flames all over its body.

Next to the object that was on fire, there was a tall stone statue, but Susan was sure that both things were alive because she heard them talking before she and Reed came in.

"Oh my God." Susan felt her legs go weak, and Reed beside her supported her in time.

"What's going on Reed?"

"Obviously, Susan," Reid said with a wry smile. "The stone figure is Ben, and the one with the flames is Johnny."

Susan's eyes went dark and she almost fainted again.

...

In front of a small detached house, Frank, wearing clothes he had picked up at random, stood under the building in front of the door with an uneasy look on his face.

The house in front of you is his home. After signing the contract, his family was moved from New York to a small town near New York.

The military's explanation at the time was that they needed to protect his family. After all, he was participating in a secret mission, so they temporarily transferred his family away and would transfer them back after the mission was over.

Not only will we have a better house, but we won't even have to worry about our children's studies, as the military will take care of everything.

Frank, who was not rich to begin with, readily accepted this. Before being arrested, he and his family lived in this small house for a while. Now he thought that was probably the army's last meal for him.

Frank shook his head and threw those terrible thoughts out of his mind. Not only had he escaped from that hellish place, but he had also returned to being an ordinary person. Although he had lost his job, he was in his prime and could always find a job. His life would get better and better.

Frank, cheering himself up, walked up the stairs in two or three steps, and froze when one foot stepped on the carpet in front of the door.

"Pfft!"

Frank looked at his feet suspiciously. It didn't rain today, so why did the carpet make this sound as if it was soaked with water?
Frank slowly lifted his right foot, and when he saw the sole of his foot, his expression froze.

The white sneakers have now been dyed red.
