The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 8 The first drop of blood
With the appearance of Yang Le, the jewelry store fell into silence.

"Ah!" Seeing Yang Le transformed into swamp fire, the crowd screamed, and Betty, who was closest to him, even fainted.

"Who are you!" Herman looked at Yang Le who was grabbing his right hand in horror, and activated his boxing gloves in a hurry.

"You..." "Bang!" Yang Le was about to answer when he was blown to pieces by the shock wave released by the boxing gloves. Because the distance of the shock wave was too close, Hermann was also sent flying.

With the sound of shattering glass, Herman smashed the glass display case and lay on the counter.

"Md!" Hermann struggled to get up, enduring the pain in his body. Many glass fragments pierced his body, making him look very miserable.

"At least I dealt with the monster." Herman comforted himself, but before he could get up, a pair of thick green roots stood in front of him.

"You can call me Swampfire, Mr. Prisoner." Yang Le looked down at the stunned Herman.

"Monster...monster!" Herman looked at Yang Le, who had just been beaten into pieces by him, standing in front of him intact. If it weren't for the pain in his body and the blood flowing out, he would have thought that it was all an illusion.

"Go to hell! You monster!" The panicked Hermann activated the boxing gloves again. Perhaps because the energy was about to run out, the shock wave released this time only shattered Yang Le's upper body.

However, all this was in vain. Before Herman put down his hand, Yang Le's upper body had been reshaped.

"This thing is useless to me." Yang Le stretched out his hand and tried to grab Hermann who was sitting on the ground.

"Ahhhhhh!" Herman completely lost his mind and kept emitting shock waves.

Yang Le's body was broken and reshaped again and again until the energy of Hermann's gloves was exhausted.

"Nightmare! This must be a nightmare!" Hermann murmured softly, as if he was hysterical, looking blankly at Yang Le who had been reshaped in front of him once.

"You're right, but this is swamp fire." Yang Le looked at Herman, who had lost his will to fight, with boredom. He stretched out his right hand and transformed it into several thick vines to tie him up.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, you have to... Oh, that's okay." Yang Le turned around and was about to announce to the crowd that they were free, but he found that there was no one behind him. They probably all escaped when he was fighting with Hermann.

---Dividing line---

"So you're saying that there was a humanoid plant about 7 feet tall fighting with the prisoners, and you escaped while they were fighting?" George looked at Betty doubtfully, who was shivering even though she was wrapped in a blanket.

"What's going on in this world? One moment there's a fugitive with a weapon of mass destruction made from prison trash, and now here comes a plant monster?" George couldn't help but think inwardly.

But George couldn't help but believe it. After all, he had questioned all the hostages who had escaped, and they all gave the same story.

"Sheriff George, all the hostages should have escaped." A police officer ran up to George and said.

"Okay! Get ready, let's attack!" George withdrew his thoughts and looked at the police officer who reported to him with a firm gaze.

"Yes!" The police officer who received the order immediately broadcast the order through the walkie-talkie, and soon a group of police officers who were ready to attack were on standby.

George laid out the key points of the operation without further ado. "According to the intelligence the hostages brought us, there should be two more people in the jewelry store. One is the fugitive Hermann, who is carrying a powerful weapon. The other is an unknown lifeform, and it's unclear whether it's aggressive. We need to be prepared for both sides to be enemies. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Very good! Get ready for the attack!" George took out his gun and headed towards the jewelry store first.

However, when the police entered the jewelry store cautiously, they found only a mess and Hermann lying on the ground tied up and in a trance.

"There are no plant monsters at all." One of the police officers muttered softly, but there seemed to be a hint of relief in his tone.

George looked at the broken pieces of plant on the ground in silence.

Yang Le walked lightly on the way home. If he hadn't cared about the eyes of others, he might have jumped up.

"It's charged to 56%, and I'm one step closer to unlocking the next stage of alien heroes." Yang Le couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Today was his lucky day. Not only did he get to know Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, but he also gained a lot of energy at once.

Yang Le knew that Herman was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan. This was the law of the American comic universe. Once the peace was broken, countless troubles would follow, and he also needed to prepare for the next battle.

"That escaped criminal just now was terrifying, right?" Yang Le recalled Herman's characteristics. Those gloves that could release shock waves were so iconic.

"Looking at the prison uniform he's wearing, he probably just escaped from prison, so this should be his first appearance." Yang Le remembered that Jingle was originally an ordinary lock picker. After being arrested and imprisoned, he studied hard, and then used the knowledge he learned in prison to make a weapon that could emit shock waves and successfully escaped from prison.

"Knowledge is power!" Yang Le lamented that knowledge can change destiny, and at the same time he also lamented the strength of the teaching staff in the Meiman Prison.

Even the prisoners knew to equip themselves with knowledge, but Yang Le was idle all day (referring to patrolling), and he felt extremely ashamed.

"It turns out that the sewer is the best place for rats." After feeling ashamed for a second, Yang Le crawled into the sewer.

The righteous hero returned to his warm and humid home, while the evil villain huddled in a cold prison.

Herman was sent back to prison again. He felt hopeless. Originally, what Herman was most proud of was his stable spirit. He did not panic even when he was arrested for the first time. But now he was a little depressed.

Everything he planned was ruined. After this prison break, the police will definitely be wary of him, and it will be extremely difficult for him to escape from prison again.

"Hermann, someone wants to see you." Just when Hermann was completely desperate, the prison guard knocked on his iron door.

"Who is it?" Herman asked softly. He felt very strange. Not only was the visiting hours past, but based on his performance, it was impossible for him to get a visiting opportunity.

However, the prison guard did not answer his question, but just opened the cell door and looked at him coldly.

"Okay, then let me see who is the all-powerful person who wants to see me." Herman perked up. He felt that he might be leaving here soon.
