Chapter 21 Osborn Bio-Industry Building (Please continue reading!)

the next day.

Hawke got up early, put on his clothes and shoulder bag, then took the documents given to him by Mrs. Snow and went out to catch the subway.

He originally planned to take the bus.

Well known.

The New York City subway is hard to describe.

Unfortunately, Hawke discovered that there was no direct bus from his new apartment to the Osborne Bio-Industrial Building. If he took the bus, he would need to transfer three times.

If you calculate it this way, you might as well take the subway.

At least when you take the subway, if you have no morals, you can ride it for free.

In a word.

You can jump over the barriers at the subway ticket gates, and even if you don't skip your ticket, the transportation fee is still cheaper than taking the bus.

So Hawke decided to just take the subway.

only……

He regretted it as soon as he got on the subway.

Smelly!
It stinks.

The various colorful smells coming from all directions made Hawke close his sense of smell at almost lightning speed.

But if it was just the bad smell, it would be fine.

There are also many people doing things in the carriage.

A hippie was holding a guitar and howling, dreaming of becoming a great musician one day.

Not far away, a black woman who looked like a tank from any angle had a golden python wrapped around her neck.

God knows how she brought this thing in.

But that's not the point.

As we all know, if we take stock of the places in New York City where the most thieves occur, the subway cars will definitely be on the list.

Just then, a dark-skinned guy with a hood on his head set his sights on Hawke.

His intuition told him that Hawke was a subway rookie.

The so-called subway rookies refer to those passengers who do not take the subway very often and do not understand the dangers of subway cars and the unpredictable human heart.

These passengers may not be very wealthy, but they are definitely the easiest prey, so they are defined as subway rookies by their peers in the stealing industry.

soon.

Xiao Hei pretended to reach out to adjust his earphones, shook his head, and hummed a song to himself as he came behind Hawke.

next second.

The moment Xiao Hei lowered his right hand, which was adjusting his headset, a folding knife was instantly drawn, intending to slash at Hawke's shoulder bag.

at this time.

Hawke, who was facing away from Xiao Hei, suddenly seemed to lose his balance, stumbled, and took a few steps back.

Xiao Hei, who was standing behind Hawke intending to make a move, did not expect this scene. The handle of the folding knife that he had just taken out and had not yet adjusted was directly reversed by Hawke's impact, and with a "thud", it directly pierced through Xiao Hei's wrist.

"what!"

Xiao Hei let out a scream, his eyes wide as he gasped for breath at the folding knife embedded in his wrist.

Blood dripped from the wound on his wrist onto the floor of the carriage with a "pa, pa" sound.

The people around the carriage were startled by Xiao Hei's scream, and then they quickly looked away after seeing Xiao Hei's skin color with a hole in his wrist.

The subway just stopped at the station.

The passengers around all stood up and left the car at the same time.

No one gasped. No one cared, and no one went up to ask if Xiao Hei needed medical help or anything like that.

Hawke also followed the crowd out of the car.

From beginning to end, he didn't turn his head to look at Xiao Hei.

After walking out of the car, Hawke felt the one, two or three resentful glances cast at his back from behind, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He was kind enough.

If this wasn't a subway, but some remote area or an alley with few cameras, he would have been able to scatter the ashes of the little black man who tried to steal his ashes.

Didn’t you see that he was wearing all these cheap goods, which together cost no more than fifty dollars?
He is so poor, why the hell does he come to steal?

Is there any royal law?
Are there any laws?
and also……

"Gwen?"

Walking out of the subway station, Hawke, who had been feeling confused and upset about how he almost encountered a pickpocket on the subway, saw Gwen standing not far away, just downstairs of the Osborn Bio-Industrial Building, seemingly waiting for someone.

Gwen was looking around at the door when her eyes suddenly caught sight of Hawke across the street. Her eyes immediately lit up and she raised her right hand to Hawke, waving quickly.

Are you waiting for me?
Hawke was slightly stunned, then took advantage of a gap in traffic to quickly cross the road.

The Battle of New York took place half a month ago. Now, half a month has passed, and there is no trace of the alien invasion in Manhattan.

That's the beauty of money.

The battle in New York ended in the morning, and repair work on the damaged buildings in Manhattan, especially Wall Street, began at noon.

At that time, the exterior wall of the Osborne Bio-Industrial Building also suffered severe damage.

But at the moment, there is no sign that Osborn's industrial building was penetrated by the Chitauri during the Battle of New York.

Hawke looked up at the Osborn Biotech Building, which was as tall as the Stark Industries Building five blocks away, then looked back at Gwen, who seemed to be waiting for him at the door.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"of course."

Unlike her school attire, Gwen wore a long ponytail today and a white lab coat, the standard for researchers. She smiled and said, "How can I find out your secret if I'm not waiting for you here?"

Hawke heard this and shook his head in confusion.

"I have no secrets."

"No, you do. I'll find it."

Gwen said this with a serious face, and then her serious little face regained its smile and said to Hawke, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Mrs. Snow called me this morning and forgot you didn't have a cell phone and you didn't have an Osborn access card. She was worried that you couldn't even get through the gate of Osborn, so she called me and asked me to take you in to find that..."

Gwen paused and looked at Hawke. "By the way, what's the name of the person you're looking for?"

"Max Dillon!"

Hawke revealed the name of the future super villain Electro, now a super little-known engineer.

Gwen's expression was stunned.

"Yes, that's him. Come on, I'll take you to the Bio-Electrical Engineering Department."

"it is good."

Hawke didn't refuse.

Gwen then put her hands in her pockets, shook her ponytail, turned around gracefully, and led Hawke to the card swiping area. After entering, she said a few words to the security guard beside her.

The security guard looked at Hawke in the direction of Gwen's finger, then nodded and manually opened the gate.

Gwen thanked the security guard after Hawke came in.

Soon.

Gwen led Hawke to the Bio-Electrical Engineering Department on the first floor of the annex building with ease.
