A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 6 Jack of Hearts
After rounding the corner of the street and walking another few hundred meters, Bai Ye realized what the group of people were avoiding just now.

The head of the huge Statue of Liberty is stuck in a Starbucks coffee at this time. The section of the head is facing the two of them. They can clearly see that the internal wires and metal components are messy and intertwined, revealing a kind of incompleteness. and broken state.

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

Scorch marks appeared on the surface of the bronze, ruined and dull compared to the 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 small sharp fragments, shining like diamonds with cold light in the sun.

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

It's just that the aroma of coffee still hangs in the air, mixing with the smell of dust and broken materials to create a strange, chaotic smell.

"What happened here?"

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

"It should be Jack of Hearts. Just now Fury told me that Jack died in the fight with the falling creature."

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

"Well I think he did sacrifice, but not quite."

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

That's Jack of Hearts, who was once a cyborg and an integral part of the Avengers.

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

However, when he was about to get closer, he immediately felt a creepy aura emanating from it.Jack of Heart has been infected into a zombie, his eyes have lost their former brightness, replaced by madness.

"Ho meat. Ho cough"

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

According to Kuaiyin, this guy may have been infected during the fight with the sentinel, and then tried to blow himself up but survived by accident, only losing half of his body.

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

Jack of Heart's upper body struggled to free itself from the ruins, and the broken mechanical parts made harsh friction sounds on his body.He let out a low growl, full of wildness and hunger, he opened his mouth, bared his sharp teeth, and rushed towards Bai Ye.

However, with only his upper body torn, Jack of Hearts moves clumsily and erratically.All of a sudden, he lost his balance and hit the ground with a dull crash.

Nevertheless, Jack of Hearts still tenaciously crawled forward, regardless of his broken body and pain.His mechanical parts rattled, and he scratched the ground with his broken arm, trying to get closer to Bai Ye.

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.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then, amidst the sound of gunfire, the bullet precisely hit Jack of Heart's head.A powerful force erupted instantly, and brains and debris were scattered everywhere.

Jack of Heart's head burst instantly, as if torn apart by an invisible force.Flesh and broken bones splashed all around, filled with a foul smell.The broken skull cracked open, revealing broken brain tissue and exposed skull.

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

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

Incomplete brains and blood spread on the ground, forming a horrific scene.The body of Jack of Hearts became even more twisted and horrific, like a tortured humanoid nightmare.

The body of Jack of Hearts has not completely stopped the turmoil.Between his broken head and skull, there were still tiny explosions.These explosions were not large, but enough to send corpses shaking.

Suddenly, a series of faint popping sounds came from Jack of Heart's chest cavity.Shattered ribs and rotting tissue shimmered like lit sparks flickering in the darkness.

Bai Ye took another two steps back, these small explosions seemed to come from the energy stored in Jack of Hearts body.These energies were once the source of his superhero powers during his lifetime, and now reside in his remains after his death.

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

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

"Is this what it looks like after being infected as a zombie?"

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.

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

What touched him deepest was what those little explosions represented.

They're remnants of superhero powers that remain in remains after death, just why is it so shocking?

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.

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

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

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

"Yes."

"I believe it now."
