Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

The crab gradually became friends with the couple, and the three of them chatted and laughed, teasing each other.

In this atmosphere, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Night City appeared before them.

But unlike before, they hadn't reached the city wall yet.

Then I saw a checkpoint for out-of-town vehicles.

"Honey, what's going on here? What are these guys in black doing?"

"Asking me won't help; you should ask the crab."

"Did you travel from somewhere in the past? How come you don't even know this place? This is a tollbooth and a checkpoint at the same time."

After saying that, Crab drove the car into the checkpoint, and suddenly a barrier rose up from below, blocking the vehicle.

"Don't worry about anything, just wait here. Don't move around or cause trouble. I'll go take care of the paperwork and be right back, OK?" With that, Crab raised his right hand, palm facing Riven and Zhao Chen.

"Go ahead and take the picture; this signifies the agreement we've reached."

"Slap!" Riven and Zhao Chen simultaneously slapped their palms on the surface.

"Ouch, that hurts! Are you all born with superhuman strength?"

He walked to the checkpoint office, clutching his hand in pain.

"Honey, this guy seems pretty kind. How about we make him our little follower?"

"That depends on whether he's willing or not."

"Yeah, we were just joking before. By the way, look at those guys in black clothes carrying something, there are several of them."

"How strange, I really don't know what they do, but they always seem so fierce."

"Hey guys, what do you do for a living? Why do you look so crooked?" Riven stuck her head out of the window and waved to the two serious-looking guys.

"Honey, you're so naughty! I never knew you were this naughty before."

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

"Unauthorized personnel should not interfere with official business. Please put your heads back in your pockets," came a rather impolite voice over the loudspeaker.

"Honey, they're so perverted! They even know who said those things just now."

"Look, that's the sound coming from that big loudspeaker." Zhao Chen pointed to the loudspeaker on the ceiling of the checkpoint.

At the same time, Crab came out of the office with a piece of paper in his hand. He showed it to the men in black who seemed to have ill intentions, and then returned to his car.

"Brother, sister, you haven't caused any trouble, have you?"

"of course not."

"Alright, let's get going then."

"Oh, and one more thing: wear your seatbelts."

The crab slowly pressed the accelerator and drove forward.

Zhao Chen could see the sweat on the crab's palms; she seemed very nervous, though he didn't know why.

"Hey crab, are you alright? Why do you seem a little nervous?"

"No way, handsome, you're overthinking it. Look, even the beautiful lady isn't worried."

"Don't call us brother or sister anymore. You helped us, and we owe you. Besides, you seem to be older than us."

“Yes, honey, look, he barely has any hair left.”

"Being bald doesn't mean I'm old. I used to be a programmer in China, so it's normal for me to have less hair. You probably haven't experienced that kind of work pressure."

"I don't know where you rich kids came from. You got lost in the desert, didn't you? Hehe, you don't know anything."

"Uh," Zhao Chen and Ruiwen said in unison.

"My name is Zhao Chen, and my wife's name is Ruiwen. We haven't introduced ourselves yet, even after all this time."

"By the way, I'd like to ask you a question."

"As you wish."

"Brother Zhao Chen, what kind of implant do you have in your right hand? Don't hide it from me."

"What did you say? What implant?"

"So, do you mean there's a prosthetic body installed in your arm, or some kind of high-tech mechanical device inside?"

"Otherwise, how could you possibly lift my car with one hand?"

"By the way, speaking of which, I suspect that Brother Zhao Chen's entire body, except for his brain, is a prosthetic, and his whole body has been modified into a machine, right? Because even if your arms can lift this car through modification, your body can't withstand it, right?"

“You’re the one who’s half-human, half-machine. Your whole family are robots. My husband is a living, breathing human being.”

"Uh, no, my husband is a god, the most powerful being in the world, don't you think, honey?"

"Hmm," Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Kneel down, mortal, hahahahaha," Zhao Chen said again, but this time it sounded like he was joking.

"Tch, you two are so dishonest, so insincere. People are asking you questions sincerely, and you don't even answer honestly. Humph."

"There's no..."

Before he could finish speaking, a car, a black car, came speeding up from not far behind him, making a low, rumbling noise.

Zhao Chen noticed that there was another object on this car that looked like the big horn from before.

The loudspeaker began to announce: "The suspicious vehicle ahead is suspected of smuggling contraband. Please pull over so we can search it."

"Honey, wasn't that thing on the ceiling? How did it end up on the car again?"

"Uh, I don't know either, you should ask the crab."

At this moment, the crab did not reply. He suddenly accelerated and turned the steering wheel all the way to the right.

With a hissing sound from the tires rubbing against the ground, the rear of the car suddenly swung backward, almost throwing Zhao Chen and Ruiwen, who were not wearing seatbelts, out of the car.

"Hey crab, what were you doing? That was dangerous!"

The crab was sweating profusely and ignored Riven.

"Put on your seatbelt." That was all the crab said.

"No problem, just drive carefully, don't flip the car over. I trust your driving skills."

"Which of you two can do me a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

"Who will drive the car? Just drive it, just go fast."

"Hehehehe, of course driving is my job! I'm so happy I can drive now!"

Riven struggled to climb from the back seat to the passenger seat, stretching out her slender hands to grip the steering wheel tightly.

"Okay, you can leave now, I'll drive."

Crab and Riven were sitting in opposite directions. He struggled to climb to the back seat, and during the climb, his fat waist got stuck between the two front seats, making him look extremely embarrassed.

"Brother Zhao Chen, please help me out."

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, be gentle."

Zhao Chen, this brute, grabbed the crab's arm and gave it a light tug, causing the crab to cry out in pain. In that instant, he was pulled onto the back seat.

"Look at you, so delicate, it doesn't even hurt."

"You try it? I'll try it on you." The crab seemed a little unhappy, having been teased by the couple the whole way.

"The encyclopedia says that if a crab's claw breaks off, it can grow a new, stronger one. What are you afraid of? Hahahaha!"

"I don't like you anymore."

After saying that, Crab took out something from under the back seat footrest that was similar to what the man in black had been carrying.

He opened the car window and was gripping the object tightly in his right hand.

He stuck his head and right hand out of the car window.

He raised the device and pointed it at the vehicles behind him.

Two loud "bangs" nearly caused Zhao Chen and Ruiwen to experience tinnitus.

"What's this thing for? It looks pretty powerful."

"Are you two playing dumb? This is a weapon, used to kill people. Okay, never mind."

"This thing can kill people? You're so far away from the cars behind you, you can't even touch it, how can you kill someone?"

Another gunshot rang out.

The police SUVs behind them also started firing, and due to the huge difference in horsepower, the police cars got closer and closer to them.

"Ouch!" the crab cried out as blood began to flow from his right arm.

He covered the bleeding wound on his right arm with his hand and groaned in pain.
