Chapter 122: The Explosion in Manhattan After watching the surveillance video in the black box, Xingguang's eyes were blank and he was completely dumbfounded. She finally understood why Maeve had been acting obviously abnormal and in such a low mood for the past few days. She must have been in deep guilt, regret and pain, not only did she fail to save anyone, but she could only watch them die. So, in the missions carried out by Homelander in the past, how many people really died in accidents, and how many people were killed by Homelander? After doing this, Homelander was so aggressive towards Maeve, clearly threatening her and her girlfriend! When he thought of this, Xingguang felt a sense of justice bursting through his chest and about to burst out. "Levi, whatever you want to do to the Homelanders, count me in!" "Haha, Annie, I knew you could make the right choice!" After praising Xingguang generously for a while, Levi took out the fifth key to the dangerous situation. From the current perspective, Xingguang can still be saved, so why not give her a chance? However, if his plan went smoothly, he was afraid that Xingguang would not have much chance to participate at the moment.
After listening to it, Xingguang was stunned again, but more surprised: "Levi, you are really amazing!" As soon as he saw her like this, Levi knew that although she said so, she actually did not really realize the seriousness and danger of the problem. This is not a game, someone could die! Before he could say anything, the danger around him suddenly reminded him that something big had happened on the Internet. Levi had already enabled the relevant permissions for it so that it could send out reminders in a timely manner. He turned on the TV directly. "Breaking news, an explosion just occurred in Midtown Manhattan. According to preliminary statistics, the explosion has killed 19 people on the spot, 13 people are missing, and more than 50 people are injured." "According to the New York Police Department, surveillance video at the scene showed that this was another typical act of an unknown super villain." "Apart from the extremely high radiation levels at the scene, we don't know much else for now. We are still waiting for the authorities to provide more relevant information." The next screen showed a burly man with a beard. After accumulating energy for a few seconds, he released a column of energy from his chest, which blew up half of the building like a cannonball. Starlight couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands: "Oh my God, Levi, is this another super villain created by Homelander?" Of course not, Levi could tell at a glance that this was actually the biological father of the Homelander - the soldier boy! There was even a butcher beside him when the incident happened! At this time, three phones rang almost at the same time, two were from Levi, and the butcher and Ashley called him. The other one was from Walter to Starlight. There is no need to think too much, they must be talking about the same thing! Levi ignored the butcher. He already knew what he was going to say, which was that the soldier boy was out of control or suffering from PTSD or something. But that doesn't matter, as long as he can deal with his homeland! The two rushed back to Water as soon as possible. Homelander, Maeve and others had been waiting for a long time. "Great, now you two are here too." Looking around, Homelander said nothing more: "Now we need to find this guy as soon as possible and kill him. We need to tell everyone that America is safe." "No one can challenge the authority of the Vought Superheroes, and no one can challenge us seven in New York!"
Although this guy who suddenly appeared was not on his original experimental list, it is not impossible that those extremist organizations concealed something from him. But those are not important for the time being. What is important is that he saw the butcher and the other party walking side by side in the surveillance camera. There is no doubt that he must have come to avenge himself and take back Becca. Although he didn't really care about Becca, Ryan still needed a mother. It’s a shame that it was revealed that Stormfront was a Nazi, otherwise she would have been a much better choice. Levi was the first to applaud: "Yes, the people of our country are right!" No matter how much the motherland thinks in his heart, at least his words sound a bit like a real superhero. Deep Sea and Black immediately followed suit and applauded, which was nothing at all, but soon Starlight and Maeve, who had never gotten along well with the Homelanders, also started to applaud. This made the Chinese people feel a little surprised, but also quite satisfied. After saying some meaningless nonsense and assigning some small tasks to everyone, he decided to lead by example and go out for a patrol first to look for relevant clues and the other party's traces. At the same time, he felt it was a bit of a pity that the useless locomotive had retired, otherwise with his super speed, he might be of some use. Xuanse and Shenhai naturally did not want to be left behind, so they followed out. But their motives are not exactly the same. Shenhai simply wants to flatter his motherland. Although he has made a lot of money recently by following Levi, he still needs to rely on his fellow countrymen among the Seven. But Xuanse was different. Levi could clearly hear that his heartbeat and breathing rates had changed after his motherland left. It was obvious that he recognized the soldier boy and knew that the other party would definitely retaliate, so he wanted to escape now! After thinking about it, Levi asked Wei Jing to send a message to Yali, asking her if she was nearby. This is one of the additional functions of the key, which has a simple instant messaging function. Another function is the positioning function, which the holder can freely choose to turn on or off. However, if a key is really stolen, Dangerous Realm can completely disable it with just a thought, so there is no need to worry about it being used by the enemy. Soon Yali replied that she was indeed not far from here. So Levi asked her to try to track Xuan Se. He was quite interested in Xuan Se's superpowers, especially the tearless warrior who could reduce the pain. At this time, Xingguang also looked at Levi, intending to ask. Homelander is a bad guy, and the super villain who just caused massive casualties is not a good guy either. What should they do now? Levi sent her away with just a few words and asked her to prioritize patrolling several schools and hospitals near Water, using the excuse of preventing the other party from suddenly going crazy. Let’s leave the task of finding people to our motherland and technical department. The incident took place in Manhattan, where there is a lot of surveillance. So Xingguang set out immediately with full enthusiasm, she wanted to do something within her ability. After making sure they were all gone, Maeve came over impatiently: "Levi, that man is the butcher, right? Do you know who that super villain is?" "It should be the soldier boy. The butcher rescued him from that icy country in the north in order to deal with the people of his homeland. I didn't expect him to cause such a mess." Maeve is not Starlight, so Levi doesn't have to hide everything from her. "what?"
Maeve was stunned. Even she didn't know this kind of information. She really didn't know where Levi got it from. You have to know that Soldier Boy was once a hero among heroes. Before Homelander, he was the incarnation of Water. Even until now, there is a statue of him in front of the Water Building. Now he suddenly came back to life and killed so many people in one breath. If this were to be known to the outside world, it would certainly become even more breaking news than the previous news that Stormfront was made up of Nazis! With two such serious accidents happening in a short period of time, Walter's reputation will definitely be seriously affected! And just think about it and you will know that the soldier boy must be held in strict custody. How could an ordinary person like the butcher rescue him? "Wait, Levi, could it be that the temporary compound No. 5 you asked me for was used on the butcher?" Levi nodded slightly: "In order to avenge his countrymen, the butcher decided to risk his own life." After taking a few deep breaths, Maeve managed to calm down: "So what's the next plan?" "Let the Homelanders and Soldier Boys fight each other first, then we kill the Homelanders first, then the Soldier Boys, and all the problems will be completely solved." "Maggie, are you ready to fight Homelander?" Maeve nodded vigorously, "Okay, I don't want Irina to be threatened by him anymore, but can Soldier Boy fight Homelander?" She only had a rough idea of the Soldier Boy's combat capability from Vought's promotional videos and movies, but the threat from Homelander had awakened her from her dreams more than once. "He has been subjected to many experiments and has acquired new abilities. Our superpowers will be weakened simply by being within a certain range of him." "At the same time, I have reason to suspect that his energy chest cannon could cause even greater damage, such as causing us to permanently lose our superpowers." With Xingguang by his side just now, he didn't answer the butcher's call, but the butcher was not stupid. He quickly sent a text message, roughly explaining what happened, and then reminded Levi of these details. Normally, an injection of temporary compound No. 24 can last for hours. After rescuing the soldier boy, the butcher took him back to New York without stopping. But he was very surprised to find that when he was next to the soldier boy, his superpowers were constantly weakened. In less than 8 hours, before he even got off the plane, the effect had ended prematurely! Levi also sent a message back to the butcher, asking him to take the soldier boy to recover his strength and then find a suitable location to prepare for a life-and-death battle with the Homelanders. For example, a place with large zinc walls and roofs that the eyes of the motherland cannot penetrate. Coincidentally, there are only a few such places in the whole of New York, and Levi has already made corresponding arrangements in each of them. The butcher accepted the proposal and said that the soldier boy would find his uniform and shield. Unless he was unlucky enough to be caught by the Homelanders today, the plan would have to wait until tomorrow to officially start. Maeve's expression suddenly became more serious: "It seems that after Walter finds out, he will definitely want the soldier boy to die." "But if the countrymen knew about this, I'm afraid they might not be willing to fight him to the death." "So this is our mission, we have to make sure he dies there!" Maeve nodded vigorously: "I understand, I will always be prepared!" "Well, I have a few other little surprises for you. The black box was found in the deep sea, and the lamplighter is willing to cooperate with me to expose the many atrocities committed by the Homelanders." "And I found some evidence that Homelander and other extreme organizations such as the Flash are collaborating to use Compound Five to create super villains." As he continued to talk, Levi saw, as expected, that Maeve's face was full of surprise, and her smile became brighter and brighter.
After a slight pause, Levi continued: "Maggie, as long as we can kill Homelander, he will be completely ruined!" (End of this chapter)
