Marvel’s Speedsters

After a relaxing weekend, it’s a busy Monday as usual. The day soon approached evening, the sun set over the horizon, only a dim glow lingered between the skyscrapers, the city roads were lit up on both sides, and the middle was crowded with various vehicles, and cars lined up like ants out to feed. From a bird’s eye view from above, everything on the ground seems incomparably small, but when the tide of people and cars gathers together, it is as spectacular as a rushing flood.

In this busy scene, the laughter of pedestrians, the sound of cars driving, and the sound of music from roadside advertising screens are endless, all kinds of sounds are intertwined to form a special music, spreading from the ground to the sky over the city.

Above the hustle and bustle of the city, Ross, dressed in black, stands tall at the end of the building looking down on all living beings.

“Now start counting the data, Doctor.” He spoke under the mask, and his voice quickly reached the cutting-edge technology lab dozens of miles away through wireless headphones.

“Understood”, Dr. Connors stared at the message sent in front of him in the control room, received the command and pressed the timer, at the same time, Ross left the ground with both feet, stretched his arms and fell down sharply like a dive. Fall.

Unlike the previous flexible movement in a small area, today is the first time that he has advanced at high speed in a complex and changeable urban environment, which is both an extremely rare novel experience and a very dangerous self-challenge.

Soon he felt the joy and hardship of speeding.

Tiptoe a wall in mid-air, and his body gently tumbled to the ground in an arc like a light smoke, and then Ross rushed up the avenue and rushed forward along the narrow gap between vehicles. Stab. Because the speed was too fast, the eyes did not have time to process the scene captured by the afterlight, and the external environment gradually turned into countless colorful lights and shadows, passing by the sides of the body like a tide, and for a moment Ross almost had an illusion, he seemed to be not running wildly on the road of traffic, but in the gorgeous flowers blooming in a hundred flowers. Take a quiet stroll through the garden.

In a few breaths, he rushed across the entire long street, leaving behind. Countless stunned passers-by behind him.

“Heart rate, blood pressure, nerve conduction are normal, brainwave function is within the standard range, blood sugar levels are declining, but a flat trend… Still, it’s a little too fast, Rose, it’s not on the playground, you need to slow down…”

Everything in the outside world in high-speed movement became a little distorted, and the doctor’s normal tone sounded like a long vocal cord in Ross, and a trance flowed through his ears, waiting for his consciousness to parse the warning, and suddenly there was a black in front of him, a giant. The big black shadow slammed head-on towards him with a strong wind sound.

Less than a foot away from the bus, Ross’s muscles tensed, his heart almost stopped beating, and at the same time everything around him became extremely slow, and with the help of this moment’s buffer, he adjusted his posture at the moment of the attack, and then jumped violently to the route of the car and hid out of the shadow of death.

The front of the car wiped the placket, and the outside world returned to normal speed, and the shrill brakes, car horns and screams of passers-by sounded one after another, but when the driver who stopped the car angrily poked his head out of the window, he was stunned to find that there was an empty space behind him.

“God forbid!” Connors wiped his sweat between operations and made a cross in front of Xiong.

“Doctor, now I am God!” Ross’s slightly panting voice sounded clearly in the earphones, and after the initial discomfort, he became more and more intoxicated by this speed of speed. Feel.

How fast can the average person withstand it? Today’s best athletes only reach 9.69 seconds in the 100-meter race, because the limits of human physiology limit the increase in speed.

If athletes want to surpass records, they are required to be physical. The content of internal enzymes is 3 times higher than that of ordinary people, which has reached the limit of the human body. At the same time, the pressure on the femoral head of athletes is 6 times the body weight, which is also unattainable for ordinary people, and the lactic acid content in the blood is also limited to the speed of improvement. In short, the physiological limits of human beings restrict the limits of human movement.

Studies have shown that 99% of human movement genes are the same, only 1% are different. And it is this 1% that contributes to the differences in athletic ability between different races.

It is with the help of special sports genes that athletes from West Africa write miracles on the track and field field again and again, thus rewriting the limits of human sports again and again. Ross, on the other hand, borrowed mutant genes and succeeded in giving himself super speed far superior to ordinary people.

In the course of his research on several mutants, a special substance was extracted from the cells of the red tank, which can quickly strengthen muscle fibers and make the owner physically tough and invulnerable, and in the body of the saber-toothed tiger, he found another gene similar to angiotensin-converting enzyme, which can affect the oxygen utilization rate of human muscles and the growth rate of muscles, so that the owner can quickly recover from trauma and obtain a near-ageless life. These two substances seem to have little to do with speed, but when used well, they can greatly improve exercise capacity.

And this is just the beginning, a trivial starting stage, if you get the gene of the mutant Quicksilver, who is known for its speed, presumably Ross can push his limits to unimaginable levels, and maybe like someone named lightning, breaking the material limit is not out of reach.

Ross ran tirelessly on the highway, charging forward with unprecedented speed, at first he was like an afterimage, although the speed was fast, but the general outline could be seen, but gradually as the control increased, the speed gradually increased, and then he simply turned into a light smoke, which was difficult to see with the naked eye alone.

I don’t know how long I ran, and when my breathing became difficult and my body was a little weak, Ross stopped in a remote alley, bent over slightly, and gasped for air.

It wasn’t until he had evened out his breathing and jumped upstairs in a few steps that he found himself near the dance studio where Mary Jane usually took classes.

***

“Goodbye, Jennifer; Goodbye, Annie. Jane Foster came out of the dance studio holding her camera and saying goodbye to her new friends.

Jane is not an actress and has no interest in lingering in the show business, and came here part-time only to accumulate funds for her research work.

In fact, few people believe that such a beautiful and elegant blonde woman would be a university teacher who studies astrophysics, and with her age and proud capital, many people think that she is more suitable for dedicating her talents on stage.

During this period of part-time work, several scouts did find her and promised many favorable conditions to try to recruit her to her subordinates, but Jane always refused with a gentle smile and rejected the people who came up to persuade her one by one. Perhaps because of her family, she is extremely persistent in scientific work, which also makes the entertainment industry small that is always a little wary of each other. The chicks have a crush on this peer who cannot be a companion.

The opposite of Jane’s situation is a red-haired girl named Mary Jane.

Her training cannot be said to be unassiduous, and her dedicated attitude is rare, but it seems that the better the person, the more she will be envied by others, no matter how she usually shows kindness, the people around her still have an invisible barrier from her.

A considerable part of this estrangement must have been due to her boyfriend.

Jane had met Mary Jane’s boyfriend, she knew it was the red-haired girl’s high school classmate, the two could be said to have grown up together, and during college the boy created several inventions, obtained a large amount of money, and became a rare young billionaire in the city, which is promising.

Without such an excellent boyfriend, Mary Jane may become a less conspicuous member of many young actors, which may be acceptable to them, but with such a help, presumably her future will not be unknown, which will inevitably crowd out some resources, how can she not be rejected by these utilitarian girls who have long yearned for fame fair?

If these women had a little foresight, they might not have done so obviously, but unfortunately they lack this rare potential, so Mary Jane’s training life can be said to be extremely difficult.

It’s just that Jane can see that this girl also has a very strong side in her bones, she buried everything deep in her heart and used hard sweat to pass the loneliness caused by isolation. Lonely, always with the sweetest smile on his face to the boy who picks him up from class.

But today the boy did not come, it was his bodyguard, a long-haired strong man named Victor, who looked a little dumbfounded.

“Jane, can I take you home?” Seeing Miss Foster looking at her intently, Mary Jane beckoned to her, interrupting her thoughts.

“Thank you MJ, my house is not far from here, through a few alleys.” Jane reacted quickly with a grateful smile.

Without further reluctance, Mary Jane smiled at her, said goodbye, got into her car, and disappeared into the traffic under the street lamp.

Seeing Mary Jane’s car go away, Jane shook her head, in fact, in her opinion, this girl is really good in nature, but she doesn’t want to be involved in the delicate relationship between the girls, so she can only keep her distance from Mary Jane.

Jane Zheng sighed, and suddenly Min. Feeling something, she turned her head and looked back, vaguely seeing a hazy shadow standing upstairs behind looking in the direction of the car leaving.

Who would stand that tall?

Jane rubbed her eyes, and when she looked over again, there was only the deep night, the shadow was gone, she couldn’t help but shiver, and quickly hugged the camera and walked towards the apartment she rented.

It was getting dark, and she was renting in the cheap but chaotic Hamley neighborhood, and it was not safe for a beautiful woman to walk alone at night, so she had to take a short cut back as soon as possible.

Passing through the dilapidated buildings, the sky grew darker, and the dull lights were like candles that could go out at any moment, providing light only a few feet below your feet.

This kind of place may seem especially delicious to foreign tourists during the day, but Jane, who has lived in New York for many years, knows the dangers of haunting at night.

She tightened her coat, spread her legs and walked quickly on the sidewalk, her eyes slightly lowered, not to make eye contact with the shouting blacks and South Americans next to her, and while waiting for the green light at the intersection, she could often see boys and girls in strange costumes sitting on the dirty steps nearby, swallowing pungent smoke, gulping beer, and occasionally screaming at her, and Jane could only turn a deaf ear.

To live in such a cheap place, you must have enough consciousness and know how to protect yourself.

Jane knew well that a woman here once aborted. When she falls, it will be difficult to struggle ashore, so she will never let her guard down.

If it weren’t for part-time work, she would have returned home at this time, perhaps just after taking a shower, closing the windows of the whole department, making herself a cup of black tea, and sitting in thick cotton pajamas. Read the latest issue of Astro Weekly on Soft Chuang.

That kind of life is really desirable, so I have to find a way to come back sooner in the future.

Jane thought silently in her heart, unexpectedly remembering Mary Jane’s invitation, if there were strong bodyguards around her now, she would not be so worried… Thinking about it this way, she can actually understand the mood of those utilitarian girls.

It’s really enviable….

Thinking so, she quickened her feet and quickly approached the apartment building she rented.

Just under the somewhat dilapidated building, a scruffy-dressed mixed-race boy came out of it, sweaty though it was cold, open his upper shirt, and a half-smoked marijuana cigarette between his fingers.

“Jane…”, seeing the female university teacher, the boy laughed dementedly, his eyes were dull, and his face showed an unhealthy tide. Red.

“Hello, Poppy,” Jane Foster nodded politely, trying to pass by the pesky neighbor, but the boy stopped her with open arms.

“Have you eaten, I haven’t eaten yet,” Poppy rubbed his hairy xiong, looking at her maliciously while slowly approaching.

“I have a couple of brothers who want to make friends with you, let’s go to dinner together, we have French bread and Russian sausages…”

Poppy stopped her with a grin, saying that he would not let her go home, Jane couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear and disgust, she tried to look around, met her sight, the others quietly returned to their rooms, and the fat landlord “slammed” and closed his door hard.

A wordless trepidation crept into Jane’s heart, and she remembered that she had heard that Poppy was a peripheral member of the famous nearby gang, MS-13.

Is something going to happen today?

Jane didn’t dare to think about it anymore, although she was not a woman with a weak personality, her personality and education were really nothing in front of these bloodthirsty street gangsters, not only could not provide protection, but might make them more coveted.

When she thought of this, she felt extremely remorseful in her heart, she really shouldn’t have rented in such a chaotic area in order to save a little money.

Although there are still my own research notes and homemade equipment in the room, I can’t care so much about it for safety. Jane pursed her lips and slowly stepped back, she had just quickly calculated that if she left Hamley now, she might be able to catch the subway to the middle-class Upper West Side to find a cheap youth hostel for a night, and come back tomorrow during the day to pack up and check out.

Even if you mortgage your camera, you can’t stay here anymore.

Jane said to herself, and was about to turn around and escape, when suddenly there was a roar of engines outside, accompanied by a dazzling flash, and a dozen heavy motorcycles carrying more than twenty young people blocked her in front of her.
