Chapter 5: Let time stop!
Since the [Random Door] was confirmed to be unusable in the Marvel world, and the passage downstairs was blocked by fire and alien soldiers, Wang Qiu and the other three had no choice but to return to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. From the viewing terrace, you can watch the battle between superheroes and aliens.
Different from the melee scene of just over twenty minutes shown in the movie "Avengers 1", the battle in Manhattan, New York, that took place in front of Wang Qiu had lasted for at least two hours, but there was still no sign of subsidence. .
A few blocks away from the top of the Stark Industries Building, a magnificent and solid beam of blue light soared into the sky, piercing into the clear sky and blasting a huge gap in the sky. On the other side of the ring is the deep and dark universe.
Dots of metallic objects were being sprinkled like powder from the gap. There were all kinds of weird armed aircraft, as well as half-biological, half-mechanical Chita Rising soldiers. They ride on a whale-like mechanical fish-shaped landing craft and a flying motorcycle-like individual aircraft, whizzing past the city, wantonly emitting sheets of overwhelming and crisscrossing energy rays.
And the ground was also bursting with flames. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the National Guard, the New York police, superheroes, and the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force, all the armed forces that humans could muster here were all destroyed. He threw himself into the battlefield, pouring out ammunition without hesitation. Various missiles and artillery shells were flying in the air, trying to build an anti-aircraft firepower network to intercept alien enemies.
However, this hastily constructed air defense firepower network was too thin after all. Most of the alien soldiers successfully penetrated the firepower network, and then drove their aircraft to carry out low-altitude operations in the streets and alleys lined with tall buildings. Shuttle, while using the complex terrain of the Manhattan metropolis to avoid human counterattacks, while wantonly venting its destructive power to the humans in this world.
As the alien weapons' energy beams containing explosive power swept across, the floors that were hit were immediately like paper, with big holes being punched out. Some of the houses that were riddled with holes in the bombardment even began to break apart and collapse, and eventually became ruins.
As for those giant whale-like mechanical fish-shaped alien landing craft, they are like battering rams. Relying on their copper-skinned iron bones, they directly engage in impact demolition between high-rise buildings, demolishing one after another. A skyscraper collapsed from the waist down! Suddenly, bricks and stones flew everywhere in the bustling streets of Manhattan. All kinds of glass, steel bars, aluminum alloys and other hard building materials fell like heavy snow, causing the fleeing people on the ground to cry and howl, and their flesh and blood were mixed. Even those buildings that did not collapse were generally ablaze under the energy rays.
There were also many Chitauri mechanical soldiers who nimbly jumped out of the aircraft in mid-air, then smashed through the glass curtain walls of the office buildings on both sides of the street, jumped directly into the skyscrapers, and then pulled the trigger on the stunned humans in the buildings. The trigger was pulled and an unprecedented bloody massacre unfolded.
Although the superheroes of the Avengers bravely revealed their identities and acted as bait to attract monsters, they fought fiercely near the streets of Stark Industries Building, constantly brushing the enemy's hatred value, thus successfully attracting the aliens. A considerable part of the Star Army. The conspicuous Hulk jumped up and down between floors like a monkey, and even dragged the alien landing craft around and beat it, as if ravaging a weakling.
But the problem is, as more and more Chitauri mechanical soldiers came to the battlefield on Earth through the portal in mid-air, the fierce fighting quickly broke through the fragile blockade temporarily constructed by the New York National Guard and spread in all directions. Come.
On the busiest streets of Manhattan, there are groups of Chitauri mechanical soldiers everywhere carrying energy guns, engaging in head-to-head exchanges of fire with human troops, police, agents and superheroes on the ground. And in mid-air, one after another armed helicopters belonging to the US military or police were also being bombarded by the aliens' focused fire. They fell one after another like meteors, exploding into pieces of tragic fire on the ground.
Streams of thick smoke rose from all directions, making Manhattan seem to have turned into the battlefields of Stalingrad and Berlin in World War II...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Like other tourists trapped on the roof, Wang Qiu, Political Commissar Guo and Tang Mary also stood on the top platform of the Empire State Building, overlooking the exciting battle not far away. Listening to the deafening explosions, watching the high-rise buildings collapse in the light of the fire, smelling the burnt smell in the wind, and feeling the tremors coming from under his feet, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of emotion. Fear and trembling deep in the soul.
As a veteran time-traveler, Wang Qiu has experienced quite a few battles and witnessed countless bloody and cruel scenes. He can already be regarded as a war veteran with strong nerves. However, in most of the battles he had experienced before, his side had an overwhelming advantage and launched a one-sided massacre against the enemy. At least the two sides were evenly matched, and the killings were going back and forth.
But this time, the enemy that appeared in front of Wang Qiu was a powerful being that could easily crush him into a pulp.
If Wang Qiu had to fight these alien soldiers, then whether it was ordinary pistols and submachine guns, or the most powerful black technology item in his hand - the [air cannon] obtained from Doraemon, it would be simply impossible. It's so weak.
Of course, if the opponents were replaced by superheroes such as Iron Man and the Hulk, Wang Qiu estimated that he would only be pressed to the ground and beaten.
At this moment, he almost lost the sense of superiority he once had in his heart, and fully felt his own powerlessness, fragility and insignificance.
However, as the saying goes, "The more you are afraid of something, the more it will come." Just when he was dejected, a scream came from his ears:
"...Oh God! There is a big monster coming this way!!!"
The next moment, an alien landing craft like a mechanical fish was seen swimming leisurely out of the gap between the buildings, then suddenly raised its height, soared into the sky, and passed over the Empire State Building! And just as the alien landing craft flew over the Empire State Building, about four or five Chitauri mechanical soldiers jumped out of it, like dumplings from a pot, and landed on the top floor of the Empire State Building one after another. ,
Then, before the people gathered here could react, these alien soldiers with rough blue-grey skin and ugly lizard-like faces raised their energy guns and aimed them at the panicked crowd on the roof terrace. Fiercely launched a sweep!
In an instant, fire broke out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere... The people who had nowhere to hide were blown up and blown away in pieces under the bombardment of energy weapons. The ground was suddenly covered with blood, minced meat and brains. Even the spire on the top of the building was hung with mutilated internal organs that came from nowhere.
Although there were a few Americans who refused to admit defeat and took out their pistols, trying to shoot at these aliens. But in the face of the advanced armor of the alien warriors, their small pistols were no different from toys. The result was that they were still blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. In the end, their livers and brains were covered with bruises, and no body was left intact.
"...Go quickly! Go down the stairs!"
Wang Qiu and the three of them did not stupidly stick to the roof and wait for death. Instead, they reacted immediately and rushed into the stairwell together in an attempt to escape into the building downstairs - until now At this moment, they couldn't care less about the smoke and fire on the floors below.
But the problem was, they only walked down a few floors when they found that the only staircase had been blown apart. What's even worse is that in the corridor inside the floor, several Chitauri mechanical soldiers also appeared with their heads peeping out! They seemed to have broken in through the window directly from the outside!
What's worse is that these Chitauri mechanical soldiers have discovered Wang Qiu and the others and are surrounding them from all directions!
As a result, the three people who had nowhere to go or retreat suddenly felt a coldness in their hands and feet, and an unprecedented despair that poured from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet.
"...No way! Retreat quickly! We have to give up the mission!" Faced with such a desperate situation, with a wolf in front and a tiger behind, Political Commissar Guo quickly grabbed Wang Qiu's shoulders and roared loudly into his ears, "...It's important to save your life first!"
——Although Tang Marry, a female man, was a little confused by these words, Wang Qiu understood what Political Commissar Guo meant: He didn’t mean to escape from the Empire State Building—it was obvious that there was no way to escape now. Instead, let Wang Qiu give up Tang Mary beside him and directly exit this plot world!
This is definitely the safest countermeasure to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron. No matter how powerful those ferocious alien soldiers are, they can't hunt them down to another world.
But the problem is that with the "Book of Time Travel" in his hand, Wang Qiu can take Political Commissar Guo out of this world at any time, but Tang Marry, who has not yet collected the 50,000 reward points "ransom fee", cannot use this A way to escape.
If Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo really abandoned her and ran away, then this one-legged female man from Hong Kong would probably be in bad luck.
Of course, from Wang Qiu's perspective, this choice is not absolutely unacceptable. But he was still unwilling to do so: just facing a few fish-level Chitauri mechanical soldiers would force him to abandon his mission and retreat. So what should I do if I have to fight against those superheroes and super villains in the future? You can't always be a coward in this world! So how to increase points and how to gain benefits?
However, the current situation seemed to force him to give in... After all, he really couldn't defeat these alien soldiers...
etc? Why should I fight these alien soldiers? It seems that defending New York has never been the responsibility of us Chinese, right?
Wang Qiu felt an idea flash in his mind, and he regained his courage and confidence in an instant.
"...No! Wait! Political Commissar! It's not time to admit defeat yet! I have another way! Look at this! [Super Time Stop Watch]!"
Amidst the messy and noisy explosions, screams and tremors, Wang Qiu shouted, breaking free from the entanglement of Political Commissar Guo, and then took out a Doraemon prop that looked like a pocket watch from his arms, and pointed it at the button in the middle of the dial. , pressed hard, "...Now! Let time stop!" Immediately afterwards, the Chitauri mechanical soldiers wandering around stopped all movements, and the whole world fell silent in an instant.
