Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

"And we poor people also have many gangs. We are homeless, basically relying on cheating and leaning against walls, or delivering packages to people in Night City to make a living. That meager income makes it very difficult for us to survive."

"There's a gang in the city that uses connections to bully and rob people in the poor's territory, and the victims can only watch helplessly."

"Honey, I want to go to Night City," Riven said coquettishly, tugging at Zhao Chen's left hand and swinging it back and forth.

"Let's go to Night City now."

"But we need to eat something first."

"What kind of food do you have here?" Zhao Chen asked the crowd.

People looked at each other.

They took out a discarded plate, walked to an abandoned machine, and turned it on.

A stream of dirty water, stained with yellow rust, slowly flowed out and landed in the discarded and filthy plate.

Then the sycophant pulled a black, oil-covered bread out of his crotch, put it on a plate mixed with dirty water, and handed it to Zhao Chen.

"Brother, please enjoy this steamed bread soaked in dirty water, hehe."

"Okay, you can eat it yourself, thank you."

As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, the people around him rushed forward and pinned the sycophant down, scrambling for the so-called "dirty water steamed bun".

The town, which seemed poor but was still relatively harmonious, suddenly descended into chaos, and the most despicable and vile behaviors of human nature began to be fully exposed.

"Riven, let's get going to Night City."

“Okay, husband.” Riven took Zhao Chen’s arm.

The two walked in the direction of Night City, which the little sycophant had pointed out earlier.

Despite being very weak, they still had some strength left, but traveling hundreds of kilometers was indeed a considerable challenge.

"Riven, you seem different today."

How have I changed?

"I feel like you've become more coquettish. Aren't you the legendary tomboy?"

"No, I think men all like women who are petite and dependent. I'm just trying to please you."

"Try spitting on her," Zhao Chen said, gently poking Riven's neck with his right hand.

puff.

Riven looked at Zhao Chen with a blank expression, not understanding the significance of this.

"Hahahaha, you're so cute, don't you understand yet?"

"I hate it!" Riven said in a spoiled and unhappy tone.

The two continued on their way, laughing and joking.

"Honey, let's rest here for a while. I'm a little tired, and I think I'm getting my period."

"Okay, let's take a rest." Zhao Chen said, then lay down on his back next to the dilapidated paved road on the sand, gesturing for Riven to lie on top of him.

Although it was an endless desert, it was as soft as a bed.

Riven lay on top of Zhao Chen, listening to the sound of his heartbeat, and even so, she was still incredibly happy.

However, the good times didn't last long.

In the distance, yellow sand swirled in the air.

The two men stood up alertly, staring at the enemy amidst the swirling yellow sand.

A dilapidated minivan emerged from the yellow sand, speeding towards this direction as if it might fall apart at any moment on the bumpy road.

Zhao Chen immediately realized what was happening.

He alertly rushed to the middle of the broken paved road and waved.

The van stopped.

The driver's side window rolled down, and a sneaky little head popped out.

This was a sleazy-looking man, like E.T., with thin arms and legs but a large belly. He looked at the two men with a puzzled expression.

"Handsome, where are you driving to?"

This sleazy guy suddenly rolled up the car window and floored the accelerator, trying to drive on.

However, the car had only moved a few meters when Zhao Chen grabbed the chassis of the parking space with his right hand and lifted the entire rear wheel of the car off the ground.

The tires spun wildly as the driver pressed the accelerator hard.

"Hmph, rear-wheel drive," Zhao Chen said dismissively.

Although Zhao Chen lost his divine power, his physical skills can still be useful in this world.

Soon, the driver seemed to give up and turned off the vehicle.

"I really have no more game coins. Please, handsome guys and beautiful ladies, let me go. I have elderly parents and young children to support."

"Hahahahaha!" Riven suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Chapter 1088 Crabs Can Drive Too

"Who said I was going to rape you?"

"We won't rob you, and we won't kill you either."

"Then why are you stopping me from leaving?"

"And speaking of which, this handsome guy is incredibly strong; he stopped me from escaping with his bare hands."

"Since you're not planning to kill me or rob me, then what is your purpose in stopping me?"

"I just wanted to ask you, where are you headed?"

"Where else can we go? Night City, of course."

"Oh, what a coincidence! We're going the same way. Can you give us a ride?"

"Well, okay, since we've come this far, and if I don't give you guys a ride, I don't know if you'll kill me and steal my car."

"Hahaha, that's actually quite possible."

This dilapidated Wuling minivan sped along the highway like a boat.

Despite being called a high-performance car, its 1.2L naturally aspirated engine is more of a loud noise than a fast runner.

The engine roared, and it felt like the speed was around 200 km/h, or even faster.

But when I looked at the dashboard, it was only 80, which was quite surprising.

"Brother, what are you planning to do in Night City?" Zhao Chen asked.

937 probably didn't want everyone to remain silent in this cramped space either; otherwise, the journey would be terrible.

"Um, I'm on my way to deliver the items from the back of the car to the buyer. To put it simply, I'm a deliveryman."

"What's your name, little brother?" Riven asked gently.

"Just call me the delivery guy."

"I'll ask you again, what's your name?" Riven started to get a little fierce.

"Beautiful lady, don't be angry. My name is Crab."

"Hahaha, Crab, what a great name! Does it mean 'ruthless and domineering'?" Riven covered her mouth and chuckled secretly.

"Honey, don't scare him. Look how pitiful he is. He's a kind person."

"Handsome guy, I... I'm scared. I'm afraid you'll suddenly kill me."

"If I wanted to steal your car, I would have kicked you out of it already. Why would I wait until now? You're just too adorable."

"Oh, you're right."

"If you don't pull us in, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid you really will kill me."

"No, we'll leave you some water and food, then abandon you here. You know the way anyway."

"The water and food we've left will ensure you walk safely to Night City, and it'll also help you lose weight."

"By the way, you're so fat, why are your arms and legs so thin? Do you know how ridiculous you look?"

"I don't think I'm ridiculous. I only make so little money. Every time I earn money, I spend it all on food, cigarettes, and excessive drinking, and it's all gone every month."

"So, I, who was skinny, developed a big beer belly that looked like a balloon."

"Oh, so should we just leave you here now, give you enough food and water? Walking for days and nights will not only help you lose weight, but also make your limbs stronger. You'll really be a handsome guy in the future."

"This pretty lady is so annoying, handsome guy, let's throw her out of the car."

The crabs seem less afraid of them now, because kind people always have a certain aura, showing no murderous intent when not in a threat, making it easy for people to tell whether they are serious or joking.

"Ugh, why didn't you say we'd leave the handsome guy off the bus? Do you like men?"

"Uh, who said that? I like women."
