American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 32 Gun Techniques

"Damn it!" Peter cursed, slamming on the gas and speeding away. Actually, if Peter wanted to abandon the car and leave, it wouldn't be difficult for him to use the spider webs to get the police to catch him. But now that Xiao Xian's body was in the trunk, if Peter abandoned the car and left, it would be the same as handing over the evidence to the police.

This car belongs to Peter's family, and Xiao Xian's body is still in the trunk. Once the police have evidence, it will be very difficult for Peter to clear his name.

More importantly, Peter really did kill Xiao Xian, and he really was Spider-Man. Peter felt very guilty.

Faced with a large number of police cars surrounding him, Peter relied on his spider-sense and super reaction speed to narrowly avoid being caught by the police, but he was unable to shake off their pursuit.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xian, whose body had almost fully regenerated, watched Peter being chased by the police via a helicopter broadcast from a television station.

"Damn it, I knew the police in the superhero world were unreliable. Peter has only been Spider-Man for a short time, and his driving skills are only at the level of someone who recently got his license. How come they still can't catch him?"

Watching the police car being outmaneuvered by Spider-Man and escaping from the police's encirclement several times, Xiao Xian's lips twitched. Couldn't the police send someone to invite a superhero to help?

Although it may seem a little shameful, isn't it shameful to be played like a dog by Peter now?

"Forget it, in the end I still have to do it myself. You can't rely on anyone these days."

Getting up and opening the suitcase containing his clothes, Xiao Xian shook his head and decided to take matters into his own hands.

As Xiao Xian's regeneration progressed, the cells that previously formed his roots all shrank back. At this moment, Xiao Xian looked no different from a normal person. However, it couldn't be said that there was no difference. At this moment, Xiao Xian could clearly feel that his skin was whiter, more tender, and smoother, with a feeling similar to that of a baby.

This is probably because he grew too fast. In a sense, Xiao Xian's body is indeed that of a newborn child who has never even seen the sun. It is normal for this to happen.

In addition, Xiao Xian clearly felt that this body was much stronger and healthier than the original body, and even the height was much taller. Xiao Xian speculated that the reason might be that during the original body's growth process, due to a series of reasons such as malnutrition, illness, viruses, bacteria, staying up late, and unhealthy diet, it failed to grow to its optimal state.

Xiao Xian's current body is provided with all the nutrients he lacks by hatred, and he has never been sick since he was born. He has never stayed up late or been picky about food. He has grown up in the best condition and successfully brought out 100% of the potential of the original body's genes.

"I knew it would have this effect! But why didn't Tomie show this ability? Or is her enhancement focused on making her more beautiful?"

Picking up his clothes and putting them on, Xiao Xian awkwardly discovered that the clothes that had been prepared for him to fit perfectly were now a bit too small, especially the masked bodysuit that had been prepared for him, which he could no longer squeeze into.

With his strength and reaction speed greatly improved, Xiao Xian looked out the window and found that even the original owner's mild nearsightedness had been restored. He looked down and realized that the original owner's potential had not been fully realized because he had been learning traditional crafts too early and too frequently. The reborn Xiao Xian had also grown a lot.

At this moment, Xiao Xian was muscular and well-proportioned, with not an ounce of fat. This was probably because his super regeneration used hatred as its energy source and didn't require much fat for energy storage.

He touched his face and thankfully found it was still full of collagen, not all of it had turned into muscle. Xiao Xian pulled out a loose-fitting shirt and pants from a pile of clothes and put them on.

The clothes and pants that were originally loose now looked tight on Xiao Xian, especially the pants, which had become cropped pants, making him look strange.

"This outfit is seriously dragging down my appearance."

After trying it on, Xiao Xian found that the hood he had prepared didn't fit properly; the eye position was a bit off. So he took out a spare mask and put it in his bag. He also took out sunglasses and a face mask, then opened the weapon case and picked out a sniper rifle and two pistols for self-defense.

The sniper rifle was kept in a special case, while the pistols were hidden in his clothes and placed in his bag. Xiao Xian then used his mobile phone to call a taxi.

"To the Bell Tower." Carrying his suitcase and bag, Xiao Xian, wearing large sunglasses and a mask, got into the back seat of the car and said to the driver.

"OK."

Having worked as a taxi driver for many years, I've seen all sorts of strange people. Knowing I shouldn't interfere in this situation, I remained silent and drove on, but my gaze kept drifting back. Even though the mask covered his face, the sunglasses obscured his eyes, and his clothes didn't fit him at all, I couldn't help but feel that this passenger was exceptionally handsome, not just ordinary handsome, but ridiculously handsome.

"???" Xiao Xian also noticed that the driver kept turning around to look at him, but with his current attire, it was reasonable for him to attract a lot of attention. Not to mention others, even Xiao Xian himself would not be able to help but take a few more glances at a strange person carrying a bag and suitcase, wearing completely ill-fitting clothes, and wearing a mask and sunglasses.

Xiao Xian sneaked up to the top of the clock tower, assembled his gun, and then waited silently for Spider-Man to drive by. According to Xiao Xian's analysis, this would be a place Spider-Man would definitely pass through.

After Xiao Xian became wealthy, he bought a lot of guns. Although he had only been handling guns for a few days, Xiao Xian's marksmanship was quite good.

Xiao Xian thought that this world might have a buff that allows superheroes or supervillains to learn firearms, or it might be a characteristic of this world that as long as they are willing to learn, no superhero or supervillain is bad at shooting. The weak ones hit the target every time, while the strong ones can make bullets curve and ricochet, and can even hit the target without looking. It's obvious that they have a lock-on cheat, like Deadshot.

On the contrary, extras have obvious debuffs. All those well-trained soldiers, professional police officers, gangsters who have been around for years, and professional mercenaries are all terrible shooters, worse than African brothers holding AK guns with their hands raised above their heads. They can miss even if they stand half a meter in front of superheroes or villains, and a squad's machine gun volley will only make them outline human bodies.

However, when the plot demands it, even minor characters can be surprisingly accurate with their guns, especially when shooting at characters like the mother, wife, or brothers left behind to cover the retreat. They take down characters with a single, silent shot.

Furthermore, if superheroes or villains have bulletproof abilities, then even minor characters' marksmanship becomes incredibly accurate, with sparks flying everywhere—it's all very mysterious.

As a superhero, Xiao Xian felt that he was almost a natural-born marksman the moment he touched a gun. He was like the Mozart of the music world, the Gauss of the mathematics world, the Einstein of the physics world, and the Tesla of the invention world.

Saying that his marksmanship surpasses that of deadshot shooters and professional gun enthusiasts like Peacekeepers might be a bit of a stretch, but he's definitely better than the average police officer or mercenary. Xiao Xian is confident in his abilities.

Of course, even if Xiao Xian's marksmanship is good now, it is unlikely that he can hit Spider-Man who has spider-sense, unless someone cooperates to assist him and block Peter's dodging space.

However, Xiao Xian's goal was not to fight Spider-Man, but to puncture his car tires, force him to abandon the car and run away, and thus confirm Spider-Man's guilt of intentional homicide.
