The next morning, more than 100,000 spectators gathered at the Mets Stadium in New York City.
The scene was quite lively.
People are looking forward to the matchup between Lokomotiv and newcomer Shockwave.
Who wins and who loses has become the biggest highlight of this competition.
Then the appearance of Starlight and Xuanse instantly aroused cheers from the crowd. Soon after, Homelander and Queen Maeve also appeared at the competition scene one by one, and they won even more intense screams.
At this moment, Madeline, the vice president of the Water Group, is giving a speech to major news media. The content of her speech is very simple. She just wants superheroes to join the armed forces to better protect the safety of citizens.
"Congratulations. I have good news for you. After discussion with Water's upper management, while serving as the deputy director of the security department, you will also be my assistant and deputy director of the public relations department. Your salary will be increased by 70%." Ashley found Xia Shang and announced his job transfer to him.
"It's my honor."
Xia Shang smiled and shook hands with Ashley.
"Okay, this is the file you need for your work. It contains information about the superheroes under the Vought Group. They are not easy to deal with. I have already identified a few key figures among them for you."
"Thank you." Xia Shang took the document that Ashley handed to him. After the other party left, he flipped it open and took a quick look. There was only one superhero circled, and that was Homelander.
It is marked above that you must not go against any wishes of your motherland and report all issues to Vice President Madeline.
I can only say that you are worthy of being my fellow countryman.
Not long after Ashley left, Xia Shang heard the first task of the day through his earphones.
"The locomotive and his girlfriend had a quarrel in the lounge. Go and solve the problem. Don't let these two damn guys ruin today's game."
"receive."
Xia Shang walked to the door of the lounge, ready to check the situation inside.
As a result, before I even entered, I heard two people arguing.
"You promised me that you would announce my identity at the competition, but now you're going back on your word. You're such a fucking bastard."
The next second, the Demon Claw Woman pushed the door open and left angrily, leaving the embarrassed Train Head and Xia Shang staring at each other.
"Don't you know that today's game is very important to you? You almost ruined the game for a woman. It's hard to imagine what's in your mind?" Xia Shang walked into the lounge and said calmly.
"Don't worry, I know her personality very well. I'll go and coax her after the game is over."
After all, it was because the locomotive was unwilling to give up the entire forest because of a single tree.
"I hope you can handle your relationship well. Other than that, be careful recently. I suspect someone is targeting you."
"clear."
Locomotive is aware of the seriousness of the matter. Once Compound No. 5 is exposed, many people will be implicated, and the first to be affected is Homelander, because it was Homelander who asked Claw Girl to go to the hospital to get the medicine, and he is only responsible for delivering the medicine to the designated location according to Homelander's requirements.
If the secret is leaked, his fate will be plunged into darkness.
At this time, a staff member came in to remind the locomotive that the race was about to begin and asked him to get ready.
"Okay." The train head put on goggles and headphones and walked towards the toilet. When he came out again, he seemed quite excited.
Xia Shang could tell at a glance that he had injected Compound No. 5 into his body, and the efficacy of Compound No. 5 had affected his brain.
According to Xia Shang's judgment, this guy's body might have developed an extremely serious dependence on Compound No. 5. It would be more painful to disconnect it than to kill him.
Soon, the competition officially began.
Locomotive and Shockwave each got ready for their run.
"Prepare..."
The moment the starting gun sounded.
The two of them rushed out like an arrow shot from a bow. Their speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch it with the naked eye. The wind they created when running made it impossible for the spectators beside the track to open their eyes.
"I saw the locomotive. He was extremely excited. He must have been injected with Compound No. 5." In the audience, Billy said, holding a telescope and looking at the locomotive running below the stage.
At the same time, Billy seemed to sense something and turned his head to look behind him, only to meet the gaze of his fellow countryman.
The race between Lokomotiv and Shockwave lasted only a few seconds. In the end, under the slow-motion camera, Lokomotiv reached the finish line with an astonishing advantage.
His speed is over 1,600 kilometers per hour, 1.3 times the speed of sound, and even as fast as a bullet.
"He won again! The locomotive won again! A new world record. People say lightning won't strike twice. Do you dare to believe it? He created a new miracle again!!"
This feat instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.
Screams and cheers filled the entire venue.
The other side.
Billy and his companions left the football field. Since they did not find anything valuable in the lounge of the locomotive, they could only continue to pin their hopes on the Demon Claw Woman. They wanted to get a breakthrough from her.
Several people drove back to the monitoring room. At this moment, the screen in the room was playing the scene of the Demon Claw Woman's home.
The devil's claw woman returned home with two cans of beer and drank them alone.
At this time, the Claw Woman was angry because the locomotive broke its promise. After drinking all the beer, she took out a tube of blue potion from a black shoulder bag.
"This is it." Billy moved his face closer to the screen, as if he wanted to see the true appearance of Compound No. 5.
The Demon Claw Woman injected compound No. 5 into her body, and then vented her energy by lifting dumbbells. Billy and the other three were extremely shocked to find that the Demon Claw Woman could lift a barbell weighing hundreds of kilograms for more than an hour without any fatigue. It was simply abnormal.
"Oh, this stuff is much more powerful than stimulants." No one noticed that there was a hint of desire in Hughie's eyes when he said this.
Next, Billy and the others saw an even more explosive scene. The devil woman actually seduced the landlord who came to collect rent, put a green hat on the locomotive, and in an extremely excited state, she actually sat on the landlord's head and smashed it.
The previous second, Mother's Milk was still complaining about the two people's tricks, but the bloody scene in the next second made him subconsciously touch his head.
Phew, luckily it didn't break.
Inside the room, the Demon Claw Woman looked at the corpse on the ground in panic. This was her first time killing someone, and she felt at a loss for a moment.
Looking at the terrified expression of the Devil's Claw woman on the screen, Billy immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity.
Once a person is in a state of panic, it is difficult to keep a secret.
In the end, it turned out that Billy's guess was very accurate.
