Chapter 6 Jack of Hearts

After rounding the corner and walking a few hundred meters, Bai Ye realized what the group of people had just been running away from.

The head of the huge Statue of Liberty was stuck in a Starbucks coffee. The cross-section of the head was facing the two of them. They could clearly see that the wires and metal components inside were messy and intertwined, revealing a sense of incompleteness. and broken state.

The eyes on its head lost their original luster, and one of them even broke into pieces, as if silently telling the pain experienced by the Statue of Liberty. The corners of the mouth on the head were also severely damaged and distorted, like a twisted smile.

It can be seen from the impact marks that the Statue of Liberty experienced severe friction and collision when its head fell.

There are burnt marks on the surface of the bronze, which makes it look ruined and dull compared to its original smoothness.

Naturally, it was the Starbucks coffee store that withstood this impact. The structure on the second floor had completely collapsed, and the huge glass window shattered into countless sharp small fragments, shining like diamonds with cold light in the sun.

It all happened so suddenly that the inside of the coffee shop became chaotic. Tables and chairs were overturned, shards of china were scattered, and the coffee machine hissed.

Bai Ye's brows furrowed and he quickly retreated, keeping a distance from the half-broken corpse.

A look of horror appeared on Quicksilver's face, and he couldn't help but tremble. His eyes widened and he stared intently at the twisting and twitching of Jack of Hearts' limbs, almost unable to believe his eyes.

This world, just like what the person just said, is heading towards destruction.

He suddenly realized that he had faced similar dangers and might become such a monster. The world is gradually heading towards the abyss of destruction, and even superheroes are not immune.

What touched him deepest was what those little explosions represented.

Bai Ye steadily raised his gun, facing the Jack of Hearts who was infected into a zombie, and moved his fingers without hesitation.

With the slightest movement of pulling the trigger, a sharp gunshot broke the silence instantly. The bullet flew out, passed through the air, and quickly flew towards the head of Jack of Hearts.

Bai Ye turned his eyes and noticed a familiar figure among the ruins that caught his eye.

"Well I guess he did sacrifice, but not completely."

"It should have been Jack of Hearts. Just now Fury told me that Jack died fighting the falling creature."

Jack of Hearts' head exploded instantly, as if being torn apart by an invisible force. Blood, flesh and broken bones were splashed around, and a foul smell filled the air. The broken skull cracked open, revealing broken brain tissue and exposed skull.

Bai Ye took two more steps back. These small explosions seemed to originate from the energy stored in Jack of Hearts' body. These energies, which were the source of his powers as a superhero during his lifetime, still reside in his remains after death.

From what Quicksilver said, this guy might have been infected during the fight with the sentry, and then tried to self-destruct but unexpectedly survived, only losing half of his body.

"I'm so hungry! You! Let me take a bite!"

Suddenly, a series of faint popping sounds came from Jack of Hearts' chest. Broken ribs and rotting tissue glowed like ignited sparks in the darkness.

"I remember you said before that you beat me to prevent me from turning into a zombie?"

Each tiny explosion released a weak wave of energy, shaking the mangled corpse even more violently.

"Ho meat. Ho cough"

Bai Ye looked around and kicked half of the broken sign on the ground. The mermaid part was gone, and only the small half of the crown was still there.

He felt the faint energy fluctuations emanating from Jack of Hearts' body, and the unsettling trembling sensation spread throughout his body.

The body of the Jack of Hearts has not completely stopped shaking. There were still tiny explosions happening between his broken head and skull. These explosions weren't huge, but they were enough to send the bodies shaking around.

Despite this, the Jack of Hearts still crawled forward tenaciously, regardless of the damage and pain of his body. His mechanical parts made a rattling sound, and he used his broken arm to pull at the ground, trying to get closer to Bai Ye.

But the aroma of coffee still permeated the air, mixing with the smell of dust and broken materials to form a strange and chaotic smell.

Its ability cannot be controlled freely, and it needs equipment to suppress the explosion. At this time, Bai Ye's bullet happened to be the catalyst.

That's the Jack of Hearts, who can barely be considered an indispensable member of the Avengers.

Pietro was carried on Bai Ye's shoulders, looking down at the body of Jack of Hearts and the series of tiny explosions. His heart was filled with surprise and fear, and he stared at this incredible sight with his eyes wide open.

The upper body of Jack of Hearts struggled to free itself from the rubble, and the broken mechanical parts made a harsh friction sound on his body. He let out a low roar, full of wildness and hunger. He opened his mouth, exposed his sharp teeth, and rushed towards Bai Ye.

They are remnants of superhero powers that remain in the body after death, but why are they so shocking?

At that moment, Jack of Hearts' eyes were full of pain and despair, but his body immediately lost support and fell to the ground, unable to move anymore.

Quicksilver, who was being carried on his shoulders, said with a heavy expression. He was not familiar with Jack of Hearts, but he still felt sad after seeing with his own eyes the place where an Avenger died in battle.

However, due to the broken state of the Jack of Hearts with only his upper body left, his movements became clumsy and erratic. Suddenly, he lost his balance and hit the ground with a dull crash.

"What's going on here?"

"Is this what it looks like after being infected and turned into a zombie?"

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then, in the sound of gunfire, the bullet accurately hit Jack of Hearts' head. A powerful force burst out instantly, brains and fragments flying everywhere.

However, when he was about to get closer, he immediately felt a creepy aura filling the air. Jack of Hearts has been infected into a zombie, and his eyes have lost their former brightness, replaced by madness.

However, at this moment, he had been blown away by the explosion and only his upper body was left, buried under the rubble.

Jack of Hearts' limbs twisted and twitched uncontrollably under the impact of the explosion, as if he was still fighting for survival.

The mutilated brains and blood spread on the ground, forming a horrifying scene. The corpse of Jack of Hearts became more twisted and terrifying, like a tortured human nightmare.

"yes."

"I believe it now."
