"The Rise of American Comics"

America - Metropolis.

Lois Lane, dressed in a white-collar outfit, was holding a briefcase and standing on the side of the busy road, as if waiting for something.

She is very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, with a pair of slender legs that look fair and straight. When paired with bright black high-heeled shoes, she is a beautiful and distinctive sight in the crowd. She is dressed in a beige shirt and a black hip skirt. He looked simple and capable, with regular facial features on his oval-shaped cheeks, and only wore light makeup that was not obvious. However, there was a haze lingering between his eyebrows at the moment, as if he was worried about something.

About five or six minutes later, a Chevrolet sedan with the words 'Daily Planet' engraved on it stopped in front of her.

"Hey Louise, are you done with the interview in New York? Come on, get in the car!"

The face of a fat man with a beard poked out of the driver's window, calling Louise.

Louise pursed her lips and forced a smile, flicked her ponytail hanging behind her head, and neatly stepped forward to open the rear door of the Chevrolet and got in.

"How did the interview go?"

As soon as she got in the car, the bearded man asked again.

"You know, the government is still making those same old statements..."

Louise shook her head slowly, obviously in a bad mood.

"I heard we're going to start using nuclear bombs."

The bearded man started the car, turned on the turn signal and drove off the roadside.

"Are they crazy? There are hundreds or even tens of millions of people!"

Louise scratched her hair irritably, feeling that this was really crazy.

"Is the national security that the government wants to promise just that when faced with aliens and monsters that appear out of nowhere, they will use nuclear bombs to bury humans with them?"

"This was voted on by the United Nations meeting, but we don't know exactly how far it has gone."

The bearded man continued.

"The information coming back from the battlefield is not good. London seems to be severely damaged. Did you watch the live broadcast just now? Superman and members of the Justice League are on the front lines in London now, but this monster that came out of nowhere hit Superman hard. I beat him up and almost broke his neck."

When the bearded man said this, Louise immediately became nervous.

"What live broadcast?! What nonsense are you talking about...How could Superman have his neck broken?"

When she said this, her voice almost changed its tone.

"Didn't you look at your phone just now? Everyone received a video pop-up window, which broadcast the London accident live. A weird human-looking guy almost killed Superman..."

When the bearded man said this, his tone became a little lower. Obviously, it was a big blow to him that Superman, who was like a god, could be so unbearably defeated by others.

"I...I don't know..."

In this rush, Louise only carried personal communication equipment as her personal belongings, and she really didn't have time to check her mobile phone on the way. When she heard the bearded man say this, she was stunned for less than a second. , hurriedly took out the communication device from his briefcase, but after clicking on it, there was no longer the video pop-up window that the bearded man mentioned.

"How could this happen... Clark?"

she muttered.His face also became a little pale.

But before she could ask any more questions, suddenly, the entire moving vehicle shook violently, as if the chassis suddenly hit some obstacle.

"careful!"

Louise's eyes widened as she watched several moving cars in front of them lose control and collide with each other amidst the blaring sirens and the sound of tires sliding.

boom--!

The bearded man broke out in a cold sweat. He turned the steering wheel sharply to the right and pressed the brake to the bottom. The entire body of the car was spinning like a top, crashing into the sidewalk on the side of the road and then hitting the wall of an individual store. Then it stopped with gray smoke.

The front of the car has also been deformed.

"what happened..."

The bearded man was shocked and calm, and he suppressed the airbag that popped up at random. Fortunately, he did not seem to be seriously injured, but he still had a frightened expression on his face.

Rumbling--

The car body shook violently again. No, it wasn't just the car body. He felt that the whole world seemed to be shaking, and he was not the only one who felt this way.

"It's an earthquake! Keith, we have to get out of the car quickly."

Lois Lane groaned and climbed up, holding her head. Although she felt dizzy, her consciousness was still very clear.

"Damn it! How come there is an earthquake in the metropolis all of a sudden??"

The bearded Keith didn't know what happened all of a sudden. He hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt, moved his body, passed through the small space inside the car, opened the passenger door, and then got out of the car. Then he hurriedly, while stumbling around, held on to the body of the car and pulled the rear door open, allowing Louise to come out.

"what!!!"

At the end of the road, the fearful screams of the crowd came one after another. The bearded Keith and Louise, who had just escaped, were both shocked. They held on to the car and looked straight ahead.

A few hundred meters away, the ground seemed to be falling apart. The high-rise buildings on both sides of the road were smashing and falling toward the center. Countless pieces of soil were flying out. The road was damaged. Vehicles of various colors and sizes on the road looked like dumplings. It fell towards the ground, and a huge monster with a ferocious appearance, like a tyrannosaurus, was breaking free from the shackles of the earth, wriggling its body like a mountain of flesh, roaring from the violent earthquake.

..........

"Farke, Farke! What the hell is this!"

The bearded Giese was so frightened that he almost pissed himself.

"Run away!"

The crowds crowded and shouted and fled in the opposite direction, but because the earthquake had not dissipated, the road was completely blocked.

Some people could only get into the buildings on both sides of the road, and some even hid in immovable cars in great fear. On the entire road, the dense flow of people was like crazy locusts. Under all kinds of pushing, Some people even fell to the ground and were trampled to death alive.

Although the police and military peacekeeping teams in nearby blocks had been on standby on various streets for a long time, this situation still caught them off guard and put them in a difficult situation.

People were shouting and screaming in terror, there were even screams, hysterical laughter and the sound of smashing certain items, accompanied by the roar of collapse——

That's because during the earthquake just now, the earthquake affected the entire city. Not only the high-rise buildings were damaged to varying degrees, but the slightly more fragile buildings collapsed completely. Countless people were running around in the streets of the city. Terrified, this scene seemed like the disaster of the Kryptonian invasion had reappeared.

"Roar--!"

The monster like a mountain of meat has left the earth and is standing in the city.

It can crush several cars with just one kick, and the roar of the explosion is endless.Just by swiping his tail, all the buildings behind him shattered and collapsed.

The peaceful city just now turned into a disaster scene like a movie in an instant.

People can only run away in despair. In front of this kind of monster, ordinary people are as fragile as paper.

"What happened to...the Planet Building!"

The bearded Geese pulled Louise to the direction of the emergency shelter in the crowd, but at this moment, he seemed to remember something. He turned around and saw a huge tower in front of the tallest building in the distance of the metropolis. The monster is approaching it step by step.

"Louise! We have to..."

As soon as he turned his head, he felt that there was a remnant of white light flashing in the corner of his eyes, but what made him a little dazed was that Lois Lane had disappeared.

?Watchtower——

White light wrapped in particle flow reflected from the transparent honeycomb ceiling, and then a woman's graceful figure suddenly appeared, and Louise staggered and fell to the ground.

The chaotic sound of collapsing buildings and the screams of countless people disappeared.

Then, she felt a pair of strong and slender hands grasp her shoulders.Feeling a little dazed, she opened her eyes that were tightly closed due to panic.

What came into view was a woman with dark chestnut curly hair.

She has a beautiful face, fair skin, and a cat-like cunning and agility in her dark eyes. She is tall and tall and wears a tight-fitting black leather uniform. She looks like she is hiding in the dark late at night. Like a phantom thief.

"...Where is this?"

She wondered aloud, looking away to look at the overall environment, and found many strange people standing scattered not far away, looking at her.

Turning her head, it was only then that she noticed the dark space outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the edge of the parliament hall.

"Here...is this? Watchtower? Why did I suddenly come here?"

There was a trace of surprise in Louise's eyes.

She knew the place because Clark had taken her here to see it before, so it quickly came to mind.

"It seems that you have calmed down."

The woman with long chestnut hair in front of her who was slightly taller than her smiled.

"Are you Lois Lane? Hello, I'm Selina Kyle. Just call me Selina."

Her voice sounded very soft and lazy, but not very charming.

"Hello, this is..."

Louise didn't understand why she belonged to the Justice League? There were so many people she didn't know in the watchtower.

"Don't look at us with such strange eyes, everyone was brought here suddenly."

Selena explained, still smiling.

"The incident happened suddenly. Due to the emergency, I could only take everyone to the watchtower for resettlement. The ground has become unsafe."

At this time, Cyborg's voice sounded from the hall.

"I am Cyborg, one of the members of the League. According to the list, I tried my best to bring everyone here. Please take a rest here temporarily. The Justice League is dealing with emergencies."

"Have things gotten so out of hand?"

Among the crowd, an old black man in a white coat asked with a frown.

He is Cyborg's father, Silas Stone.

"I'm sorry dad...we're working on it."

Cyborg responded.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is safest for you to stay here."

"But what about the people on the ground? A huge monster dozens of meters high appears in Metropolis!"

Louise suddenly remembered what happened just now, and couldn't help but asked anxiously.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Louise. Not only in Metropolis, but similar monsters have appeared all over the world. Bringing you here is the limit of what I can do now. As for others, I can't all Recognizing that, although I did not want to make this choice, the Justice League was not prepared to deal with an emergency of this magnitude."

“I have notified the ground operations team affiliated with the Justice League to help the government forces evacuate densely populated areas to shelters as much as possible, and now the only thing we can do... is to hope that God will still be on our side. "
