Chapter 274
New York garbage dump.
The entire garbage dump stank to high heaven, a group of flies flying around, sometimes landing on the garbage, sometimes flying up, completely treating the garbage dump as their home.
Ye Nan looked at the piles of garbage in the garbage dump, smelling the stench in the garbage dump, somewhat uncomfortable.
"Do you live here?"
"Yes." The green person emerged from the ground. "Since I had consciousness, I have always lived inside, because only here do I not need to endure other people's gazes."
Hearing this, Ye Nan immediately fell silent. He knew very well what this "other people's gaze" meant. It was a curious, disgusted gaze, the most instinctive rejection of aliens by the public.
"Actually, you can change yourself." Ye Nan took off the suit and pants he was wearing and gave them to the green person to wear. At the same time, he took off his magic mirror and gave it to the green person to wear.
After a while, the green person changed greatly. Although the exposed parts of his body still had green features, from the overall perspective, he was already a person.
"Still need gloves, need long boots, and a hat, a big hat." Ye Nan thought for a while and continued, "However, someone like you should wear an anti-terrorism mask, plus a pair of goggles."
"It's a pity, you are not Mystique. If you had Mystique's ability, you could turn into someone else's appearance."
"Who is Mystique?" The green person tilted his head, somewhat confused.
"A mutant, like you, who has been rejected by the public, but she has become very radical." Ye Nan said. "By the way, when did you discover you had consciousness, or memory?"
"Maybe I can help you find your name."
Ye Nan's plan was to find the green person's name by investigating the list of missing people near New York recently.
If it were before, he would definitely not go to such great lengths. After all, he and the green person didn't know each other. Helping out of hand was fine, but helping that required consuming great energy—sorry, he didn't have that kind of self-sacrificing mentality yet.
But now, the green person clearly had a relationship with him. Even for the sake of this relationship, he had to help the green person find his name.
He valued the green person very much. He didn't know the green person's strength, but the green person's survival ability was unique. In the future plan to escape the Earth, the green person could provide unexpected surprises.
"I, Chuan... when..." The green person knocked on his head and shook his head. "I don't remember either. I rarely look at the time."
"In that case, wanting to know your name is very difficult." Ye Nan said.
If there was a specific time, one only needed to find the missing population for a period of days before and after that time, and one could find the green person's identity through a method of checking one by one. But if one didn't remember the specific time, although it was possible to find it, the time and energy consumed were really too much.
"You don't need to blame yourself, my friend. With you as a friend, I won't be lonely."
Hearing this, Ye Nan was speechless. God is my witness, he didn't blame himself at all. Not to mention that he and the green person had just met, even if they were friends for a long time, he wouldn't blame himself. This wasn't something he caused, so why would he blame himself?
"Breaking news, reporting live from Washington, USA. The US President was assassinated at the White House yesterday. Regarding this assassination incident, people in the White House suspect it was planned by one or more mutants, and the White House is considering martial law in the United States."...
A piece of news drifted to Ye Nan's ear, immediately attracting Ye Nan's interest. He walked to a television and sat down casually.
"This is a television I picked up in the garbage dump. I saw it could be used, so I picked it up." The green person said.
"Shh, don't make a sound, let me listen to the news." Ye Nan made a gesture to be quiet.
Although he knew that the second and first parts of *X-Men* were closely connected, Ye Nan never thought that the plot in the second part would happen so quickly.
"It is reported that at the scene of the assassination, the mutants left a dagger with a red strip protecting mutants. Below, please watch the report sent back from the scene."
The screen turned to the White House.
Looking at the screen, the White House was indeed attacked. Bullet holes were vaguely left on the wall, especially on the President's desk, where a dagger was stuck.
"Mutants intend to promote their power through assassinating the President, attempting to threaten us. We humans will absolutely not compromise."
The experts and professors on TV constantly expressed their views, their voices generous and high-spirited.
"Who is this guy? He looks quite to my taste. It is necessary to absorb him, and then let him go for election, to be a congressman." Ye Nan looked at the professor who suddenly jumped out and made wild statements, feeling a trace of surprise.
He had never felt that American commentators were so interesting, so much so that he had the idea of winning over these commentators.
Perhaps these commentators only know how to play with their tongues, but their tongue-playing skills can play a role in some aspects and help Ye Nan.
"Friend, I have to leave. I have some things to do." Ye Nan's gaze shifted from the TV screen to the green person.
"Why." The green person was somewhat reluctant. When he chatted with Ye Nan, he didn't feel lonely at all, so he was somewhat reluctant.
Since he had memories, he had been alone, sitting alone on the garbage dump, watching the passing trains, and through the trains, watching others.
He longed to talk to people. He felt that only then was he a person, not some object.
But he couldn't talk to people. His appearance would only attract other people's malice.
He had been beaten up on the street, and he had also been roared at with disgust. Compared to these, he cared more about that invisible rejection. That kind of rejection was so heavy that it made him somewhat difficult to breathe.
Gradually, he didn't dare to contact others. He could only be silent. When night came, he would wander the streets in the form of liquid. During the day, he didn't dare to do so because he didn't like the gaze others looked at him with.
Today, because of his body's instinct, he took the risk to find Ye Nan. He didn't expect to find a friend, a friend who didn't look at him with strange eyes. But his friend was leaving, and he was somewhat reluctant.
"Because I still have some things to do, but after I finish, I will come to find you." Ye Nan made a promise.
"Can I go with you?" The green person said hesitantly. "I don't want to be here alone."
"Of course you can." Ye Nan was happy in his heart. "Of course you can follow me. We are friends, after all."
Zzz!
A harsh sound came, and a high-speed train rushed over quickly.
"How could a train be here? Isn't the railway ahead not open yet?" Ye Nan was shocked in his heart. "It wouldn't be Peter?"...
In many film and television works, the disaster of a train derailment is very common. But in the plot of *Spider-Man*, only when Peter fights Doctor Octopus will that kind of train derailment disaster appear. And this disaster is exactly the precursor to Doctor Octopus's second nuclear fusion.
"Damn it, I just beat Doctor Octopus up, and he went to provoke Peter again."
Ye Nan finally understood what it meant to "beat a snake without killing it, and you will suffer from the chaos." When he wanted to kill Doctor Octopus, he was lured away by the green person, so he kicked Doctor Octopus away. But he didn't expect Doctor Octopus to go provoke Peter in the blink of an eye.
"You wait here, I'll be right back."
Ye Nan stomped his feet, jumped up, and ran toward the train. His body erupted at a limit speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside the train.
"Wait for me." The green person hurriedly called out. His figure dissipated without a trace in the blink of an eye, and the next moment, he appeared beside Ye Nan.
"This kind of power..." Ye Nan widened his eyes, looking at the green person beside him.
The green person's ability made him think of the virus Norman, who could also freely change into water, could also disperse his body, and turn into an invisible virus.
The green person and Norman had too many similarities, making Ye Nan have to suspect whether they were the same person.
"Although it is said that the main body supporting the Green Goblin Norman has disappeared, and he himself has also been bitten back by the virus, but from the previous situation, the Green Goblin Norman had schizophrenia. A part of his spirit was entrusted to the Green Goblin mask. Could it be that this part of the spirit came out to make trouble after the Green Goblin Norman died?"
Ye Nan suspected this, but now it was clearly not the time to find the truth of the matter. He could only suppress the speculation in his heart and look carefully at the situation in front of him.
Peter was at the front of the train. His body was spread out, and his two hands constantly sprayed spider silk, grabbing many buildings. He used his body to block the train from moving forward.
"Damn it." Ye Nan cursed in his heart. He took off his white shirt, covered his face, and then jumped up, jumped onto the train, and said: "Let me do it."
Ye Nan pushed Peter out, and he himself stepped on the ground with both feet, instead pushing the train with both hands, blocking the train from moving forward.
The train's forward power was all vented on Ye Nan's body. His feet, because they were pushed by the train, constantly rubbed against the tracks and the earth. A series of sparks flashed on his feet.
He finally felt what it was like to be hit by a train. He finally knew what that kind of pain all over his body was. He really wanted to give up, really wanted to jump away, but as soon as he thought of the people on the train, he couldn't let go.
He was not a good person, but he would not watch a group of innocent people die in front of him, because his heart had not yet cooled and his blood had not yet frozen.
"Damn, the train's impact is too strong." Ye Nan used all his strength to confront the train.
Suddenly, Ye Nan felt a pain behind him, and his whole person sprayed a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound....
