Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 9 Luke Cage
"Phew~ I finally got it done..."

Sitting at the desk, Ke Lin looked at the densely packed writing on the manuscript paper and let out a long sigh of relief.

He sorted the manuscripts together and put them in the drawer. Only then did he feel as if the stone that had been pressing down on his heart was put down, but mixed with a bit of bewildered emotion.

"I have done everything that should be done, and the rest can only be left to time. I hope everything will go well."

I muttered something silently in my heart.

Colin turned off the lamp that was always on on the table, and picked up the coat and hat on the floor shelf to put on.

Standing at the door, he turned his head and swept everything behind him.

Finally, he sighed silently, turned around and closed the door of the Messenger Newspaper heavily.

If he fails, this may be his last night at the newspaper office.

"I don't know if the food in 'Hooverville' is good..."

……

“…combining a can of corned beef with canned pickled peas, gelatin, lemon juice and vinegar makes for a simple and filling 'delicious' dish that is simple and easy to feed a large family, most importantly The most important thing is that these materials are cheap food that can be seen everywhere in daily life..."

In the evening, Colin sits at the table, filling his stomach with hard bread and carrot jam, listening to the radio cooking show "Betty Crocker Cooking School on the Air", in which Betty Crocker's voice actor uses With his high voice, he shared the process of making cheap dishes during the Great Depression.

Later generations generally believed that the period of the Great Depression was also the "golden age of radio".

As the Great Depression caused widespread suffering to millions of Americans, families who could afford the radio saw it as a popular source of entertainment and news.People who are unemployed at home need to kill time, and it costs money to go out to watch movies and theaters, so free broadcasting has become their best choice.

Based on the popularization of radio, a large number of radio programs were born.

In this era, the radio content covers almost all age groups, whether it is the elderly, women, or even children have their own radio drama programs.

Listening to the almost dark cooking-like food introduced in the radio program, Colin swallowed the last piece of bread in his hand, and drank the homemade lemon juice at hand.

The faint lemon juice with a little sweet and sour suppressed the churning feeling in Colin's stomach. He rubbed his stomach and tuned the radio to another channel.

For a moment, cheerful swing music sounded in the room.

Listening to the brisk music, he briefly cleared the plate on which the bread was placed. Colin sat at the table and gradually became fascinated by the music.

Just like that, after listening to it for an unknown amount of time, I only felt that the music in the radio program seemed to have changed for a round, so I turned off the radio under the urging of drowsiness.

"What's supposed to come always comes."

After turning off the desk lamp and lying on the bed, Colin silently said a sentence in his heart and then closed his eyes.

In the next second, his consciousness seemed to be pulled down by an invisible force, and he was embraced by countless green lights and entered another dimension.

……

"hiss……"

In the alley, Colin opened his eyes.

Holding the wound on his body that was no longer bleeding, he moved his body with difficulty and leaned against the dirty wall of the alley, panting.

"It's really, really bad."

Looking down at the shot site, Colin stretched out his palm tremblingly and lifted his clothes, and then saw the condition of the wound on his body clearly with the faint light.

The good news is that the wound no longer bleeds, and it seems that he has received some kind of protection during the crossing process between the two worlds, so that he will not die due to massive bleeding just after crossing back.

The bad news is that this protection is not enough to support the full recovery of Colin's wounds, it just prevents him from dying so quickly.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to call an ambulance.

I don't know whether the Bugle Daily News provides accident insurance.

The pain from the wound affected Colin's thoughts. He gritted his teeth and moved his blood-stained arm to fumble for the pocket of his coat.

"Damn, can't you?!"

However, in the next second, the feeling of empty pockets made Colin's already pale face even more ugly.

These two damn robbers didn't even let his cell phone go.

Damn!
At the critical moment of life and death, there is no time to think about it.

Colin covered the wound with one hand, while standing up tremblingly while supporting the wall, he staggered and was about to walk out of the alley.

I hope that at this time, I can still meet a kind person who helps to call an ambulance.

After silently praying in his heart, Colin moved towards the entrance of the alley bit by bit.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps from the other side of the alley.

someone is coming!

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ke Lin suddenly felt hopeful in his heart, and quickly asked for help.

"Please, help, I've been shot, please help me..."

However, before Colin could finish his plea, the expression on his face froze instantly.

Because, the figure that appeared from the other side of the alley was the two black men who shot him.

In other words, why did this bring back the scene?
"what the fuck!"

Not only was Colin himself surprised, even the two black men who came back from the same way were also shocked by what happened before them.

Looking at Colin standing up again in the alley.

The two couldn't help but uttered a curse, and then subconsciously pointed their guns at him, as if they were going to finish what they hadn't done just now.

I don't know if I can go back to another world after being shot this time.

Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun in front of him, such a thought could not help but flash through Colin's mind.

A dull gunshot rang out.

However, the expected pain did not appear on his body.

"what?!"

Instead, a broad back stood in front of Colin.

"Are you all right, buddy?"

He moved his legs and pulled out the feet that hit the ground. The owner of the back turned his head and glanced at Colin behind him, and then asked a question.

"Lu...Luke Cage!"

"Wonderful Man!"

Immediately afterwards, the two black men in the alley subconsciously called out the name of the person who came.

"Since you already know my identity, please cooperate with my work obediently and don't make any unnecessary resistance."

Hearing his name being called out, Luke Cage turned his head and returned his gaze to the two black men in front of him. He twisted his neck and made a crisp clicking sound, and then the corners of his mouth moved upwards slightly, saying in a deep voice road.

Even without any movement, just standing still.

The appearance of Luke Cage has already caused tremendous pressure in the hearts of the two black robbers.

In a panic, the black man with the gun yelled and aimed his gun at Luke Cage in front of him, pulled the trigger and fired several times.
