Chapter 1402: Return of the Old Days (I)

"Where am I?"

Xu Shangqi stood up dizzily, holding his head, and then realized that this scene had happened not long ago, but strangely, a certain pain and awkwardness had left him.

He felt that the air flow in his body was smoother than ever before, and those mysterious powers that were rarely under his control seemed to be embedded in his muscles and bones, becoming a part of his instinct, so when he jumped up, he unconsciously applied these powers to his legs and arms, making his movements more powerful.

Xu Shangqi jumped up from the ground with a carp jump, and then heard a heavy and rough breathing sound on his right side, so he instinctively rolled again to avoid a tentacle that was pulling over.

"Again?!"

Xu Shangqi shouted in surprise, but found that he was not very afraid, because the light in front of him clearly told him that it was daytime, the sun was bright, and the breeze was blowing.

Oh my God, he was already in the mood to feel the breeze, Xu Shangqi complained in his heart, and then he turned his head to look at the owner of his right tentacle.

Very good, it was a monster that he still didn't know how to describe. It was a bit like a short king cobra. At this time, it was lifting its bloated upper body and dancing the tentacles on its chest like a hot wheel.

Xu Shangqi took a look at it, then turned and ran. On the way, he passed Riley who was getting up from the ground. Xu Shangqi skillfully grabbed Riley's arm and pulled him up, and then the two ran forward together.

"Hey, what's going on?" Riley's head was still a little dizzy, and he said, "Is time going backwards? Or have we entered another dream?"

"Who knows!" Xu Shangqi shouted angrily. Just as the two of them rushed out of the mall gate, another zombie-like monster jumped down and smashed a big hole on the ground, blocking the way for the two.

Xu Shangqi and Riley braked suddenly. Riley turned to look at Xu Shangqi and said, "So what's going on now?"

"I don't know. I just woke up too!"

The two ran to the side of the street, but the king cobra monster and the zombie that jumped down later kept chasing them.

Riley finally couldn't stand the inconvenience of running on the ground. He followed his spider instinct, jumped onto the wall of the building, and then crawled quickly in the posture of a spider, and yelled at Xu Shangqi, "Why are we running?!"

"If we don't run, are we going to wait...wait, my tongue is still there!"

Xu Shangqi stretched his tongue hard, then licked the inner wall of his mouth, looked at Riley's ears, and found that there was no blood there. Riley also picked his ears and said, "Yes, my ears have recovered, as if they had never been injured."

With a "swish", Xu Shangqi braked suddenly. Riley didn't react and ran out dozens of meters. Then he had to run back in a hurry, jumped to the ground, and stood Behind Xu Shangqi, he panted and said, "What's wrong with you? Why did you stop again?"

Xu Shangqi shook his arms, moved his shoulders, and then lifted his legs a few times on the spot, turned his head and looked at Riley and said, "You're right, why are we running?"

"But if we don't run, are we waiting... Hey, I'm Spider-Man!" Riley suddenly reacted. He and Xu Shangqi turned their heads together, staring at the two monsters rushing over with wide eyes, and slowly said, "They are not illusions, but real, touchable, tangible monsters!"

With a harsh metal friction sound, the crooked electric pole on the roadside was broken off, and then there were two "swoosh" sounds of the giant being swung up, followed by a loud "bang".

The king cobra and the zombie were blown away hundreds of meters by the huge electric pole lifted by Riley, so far away that they seemed to have disappeared in the field of vision.

Riley and Xu Shangqi looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Riley stretched out a hand, and the spider silk sticky liquid sprayed out stuck to the surface of the building. The spider silk shone in the sun, and when it swung, the hair flew in the air.

Xu Shangqi was faster than him, and he moved his feet with his qi, shrinking the ground into an inch, and then two fingers lit up, writing a series of complex spells in the air, and then bit the tip of his tongue lightly, a little cold light came first, and the formula came out.

"Heaven's plan, heaven's plan, come down to the nine states, cut the monsters in an inch, and capture the ghosts when you meet them - hurry up as an imperial order!"

Instantly, two shadows of strong men wearing golden armor and holding spears rushed towards the monster. The tentacle insect that looked like a king cobra screamed and whipped everything around it with its tentacles. When the spear pierced its abdomen, it seemed to be enraged by the pain and danced its upper body wildly.

A black shadow attacked from the side, kicking the already unstable King Cobra monster to the ground, then rolling to avoid the zombies, and the golden armored warrior turned around and stabbed the zombies with a spear.

The two golden armored warriors stood up with one hand, saluted and disappeared. Before disappearing, Riley circled around them twice, and said in amazement. When he saw Xu Shangqi coming over, his eyes sparkled and he said, "Oh my God, you still have this ability? You actually said you are an ordinary person?!"

Xu Shang was so angry that his face turned pale. He shook his head and sighed, saying, "Fortunately, I learned a trick before I left. This spell is good in every way, but it consumes too much energy and blood, and it can't last too long." Then he complained in a voice that Riley could hardly hear, "I don't know what the original owner of this body was thinking. He used all his energy to train his muscles. I'm a mage player..." After defeating the two monsters, the two had time to carefully look at the surrounding environment. As expected, New York was destroyed again, but this time it was destroyed more thoroughly, which was more in line with the end of the world in their minds. There was no need to say much about the collapsed buildings and burned vehicles. There were traces of various artillery on the streets, police cars, military vehicles, and even helicopters that fell to the ground were all smoking, obviously they had just experienced a war. Seeing this tragic scene, the two were not worried, but relieved. Fortunately, it was a traditional doomsday. The two walked along the destroyed street, and Riley's tone was a little relaxed: "I feel that my spider sense has recovered, and it works normally. How about you?"

"My qi is no longer disordered." Xu Shangqi frowned and felt it for a while, then his eyebrows gradually stretched, and said: "And it seems to run more smoothly than before. After all, it ran around in all the meridians in my body before, which made me know what those so-called meridians are. Now I can even see them clearly in the endoscope as Director Zheng said."

Xu Shangqi shrugged and said: "You don't know, our kind of power emphasizes a 'body and spirit'. In fact, I couldn't use the spell just now smoothly before, because everyone's qi flows differently. Although I know which acupoint the qi should go to in theory, I don't know how to guide them with my mind. Now I know."

"It seems that the terrible dream is not completely useless, right?" Riley said with a smile.

"But don't do it again." Xu Shangqi shook his head.

Then, the two of them began to focus on a more important issue, which was where their previous teammates had gone, including Wanda and Jarvis who had been with them before, and Quill and Rocket Raccoon who rushed over later. There was no trace of them on this street.

"It seems that we have completely lost contact with them." Riley said with some concern: "I am sure that Jarvis has the ability to take care of himself, and he should be able to take care of Wanda, but Wanda's condition is indeed a bit worrying."

"The power she finally drew was too terrible, and she seemed to have ignited it. I am not sure what state she is in now, I hope nothing goes wrong."

Xu Shangqi also frowned and looked at the messy street scene around him. Now his five senses are very sharp, and he can even feel any breeze that brushed past his ears, and it was this breeze that blew a trace of imperceptible breathing into his ears.

"There is someone over there." Xu Shangqi paused and turned to look at the counter in the window at the corner. Riley stopped and found that the spider silk in his brain was gently moved after a careful sense.

His spider sense also became more sensitive, and he could even use it to sense something. He walked towards the house. Xu Shangqi wanted to hold him back, but Riley shook his head, gently pushed his arm away and said, "It should be just an ordinary person, no danger."

The two walked into the store but saw a black muzzle sticking out from the counter. Given that the gun barrel was still shaking slightly, Riley could tell that this person didn't often hold a gun and was very scared now.

"Are you okay? Don't be afraid, we are here to save you."

"Get out of here!" A sharp female voice came from behind the counter.

Riley sighed and tried to slow down his tone as much as possible to comfort her: "Don't be so excited, ma'am, you can trust us, we are superheroes, we will save you."

Obviously, during his time in the New Warriors team, Riley learned a lot from others, including how to better save ordinary people in disasters and communicate in a civilized manner, instead of just carrying people away and throwing them aside.

Although the latter is more useful at certain times, when the situation is not so critical, you still have to consider the other party's psychological state. Victims who are already in a state of stress are prone to irrational behavior once they are physically stimulated. Although they will not hurt Spider-Man, they are also prone to hurt themselves, which runs counter to his purpose of saving people.

Riley bent his body and slowly stepped forward, trying not to make a sound, then stretched out his hands to show that he had no weapons, and said, "Don't worry, we are not monsters."

"But superheroes are monsters!" The woman screamed frantically, the black muzzle of the gun turned again and again, and it seemed that she didn't know who she was aiming at. She shouted, "You, you are all! Get out of my way, or I'm going to shoot!"

Riley and Xu Shangqi looked at each other and found that something was wrong. Riley attracted the woman's attention. Xu Shangqi calmly walked around the counter, but when he saw the woman squatting behind the counter, he shouted in surprise, "Jessica? Treasure girl Jessica? Why are you here?"

Hearing her name, the woman or girl hiding in the counter was stunned for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Riley grabbed the barrel of the gun. With a "bang", sparks from the old-fashioned shotgun splashed out and knocked down the chandelier on the ceiling.

Riley and Xu Shangqi rushed into the counter at a very fast speed, holding down Jessica, but Jessica's strength was much greater than they imagined.

"Let me go! You monsters!"

"We are not monsters, I am Spider-Man!"

"Spider-Man is a monster!!!"

"Bang!"

Riley looked at Jessica who was slowly falling to the ground, and then moved his eyes to the fist that Xu Shangqi had just retracted. Xu Shangqi sighed and said:

"I said, I am better at physical persuasion."
