Metropolis, Harlem.
Harlem is part of Metropolis's new urban area.
This area is one of Metropolis's largest Latino communities, primarily inhabited by Puerto Ricans, but also including other Latino groups and Black people.
The infamous Black neighborhood is located here.
At night, a black Oldsmobile car gently glided into the area.
The roads here crisscrossed like a web spun by a drunken spider.
The car rumbled past a house with its windows half-open and half-closed.
Two pairs of sneakers hung from the intertwined power lines between the houses.
Sneakers hanging on power lines in the Black neighborhood could mean that someone was murdered here, and the shoes are equivalent to a severed head.
In short, it's an absolutely dangerous place.
The Oldsmobile slowly stopped, and two stunning white beauties emerged from it.
One tall, one short, with fair skin.
The taller beauty wore a long Bohemian dress, a silk shirt, and a pile of gold bracelets on her wrist.
The shorter one wore black cigarette pants and sunglasses.
Both exuded a cold aura from within.
Several Black men who were openly stealing car parts on the street immediately stopped what they were doing when they saw two stunning beauties suddenly appear.
The five Black men swayed like hip-hop youths, walking over in a disrespectful manner.
"Hey, girls, wanna grab a drink? Swift Bar nearby will definitely give you a fun night. Or go to the Ice City Club nearby, there are even more fun places there!"
The leading Black man, wearing a dirty black T-shirt, extended an invitation to the two glamorous beauties.
"Heh, drink what? Antifreeze? Or something mixed from lighter fluid and piss? Get lost, or I'll make you kneel and call your mom."
The taller beauty jingled the gold bracelets on her wrist and said disdainfully.
The beauty's sarcasm angered the Black men. They had never heard of the adage 'use words, not fists' against women, and immediately swung their fists at the beauties.
Since they wouldn't drink the toast, they would be forced to drink the penalty.
The tall beauty opened her cherry lips and exhaled a cloud of white mist.
A thick, fog-like gas immediately enveloped the Black leader.
He didn't even let out a wail; a layer of ice crystals formed all over his body.
The ice crystals rapidly spread throughout his body, quickly extending from his feet to his neck and face.
The heat inside his body was quickly absorbed, the blood flow began to slow down, and his heart seemed to freeze.
When the ice crystals spread to the top of his head, the Black leader's heart completely stopped beating.
The Black leader, frozen by ice crystals, his face vividly displayed before everyone.
It was an expression of extreme terror.
The air was silent, and a chilling cold assailed the other Black men present.
Seeing their leader's tragic state, the other Black men immediately screamed, scattered, and ran wildly in all directions.
However, the two beauties would not let them go like that.
The shorter beauty pointed her finger skyward, and an ice storm immediately fell from the sky.
Ice crystals and snowflakes, as if carried by a strong wind, chased after the fleeing Black men.
Like a deadly lasso, whenever it touched a Black man, the ice storm froze them into ice pops.
In less than ten seconds, all the Black men were turned into human popsicles.
From a distance, they looked like ice sculptures.
But it was autumn now, and the appearance of human ice sculptures on the street looked strange no matter how you looked at it.
The taller beauty exhaled, "There are always some blind idiots who ruin my good mood. Anna, is Julian living nearby?"
"Yes, just around this corner," replied the shorter beauty named Anna.
"I hope he hasn't been killed by someone. I don't have much confidence in the public safety of this place."
"No, we still want to experience the thrill of torture! Sister Ivanna, hehe."
Though Anna was petite and lovely, her smile was cold and terrifying.
"Suit yourself, but don't go too far. It'll be troublesome if the higher-ups investigate."
The tall beauty, Ivanna, said casually.
The two seemed to not care much about casually killing a few Black men.
"Part of the Kryptonian spaceship wreckage was collected by the Blood Axe Gang and then sold at a high price on the black market. This indicates that the Blood Axe Gang has collected a considerable amount of Kryptonian spaceship wreckage. If we find their boss, Julian, we can collect this batch of Krypton spaceship wreckage into our hands. Although I have some doubts about this guy's ability, I hope we don't make a wasted trip."
The tall beauty, Ivanna, looked up at the gloomy sky and said in a serious tone.
A week had passed since the Battle of Metropolis, and the United States Government's rescue efforts in Metropolis were basically complete.
Metropolis, the most prosperous and wealthy city in the world, having suffered heavy damage, began its reconstruction efforts after a period of pain.
"But..."
The petite Anna's eyes flashed with a cautious look, "If we go too deep, or learn too much, then we will be in more danger. Those two superhumans, Homelander and Superman, their power is so strong, if we are targeted by them, we will be in danger!"
"You're always so cautious!"
Ivanna said to the woman named Anna, "We are only engaged in spaceship wreckage recovery. Countless people are currently dispatched by the United States Government to do this work. If those two Supermen try to cause us trouble, then they should first remove the United States Government from this world!"
"Alright."
Anna nodded, thinking that what Ivanna said made sense. There were countless people like them recovering spaceship wreckage and parts.
Including some extraordinary individuals with superpowers, who, after the "Metropolis Incident," were successively unearthed by the United States Government for various experiments and training, as well as for recovering spaceship wreckage after the "Battle of Metropolis."
Anna even heard that someone in the United States Government had organized a team of superpowered individuals, planning to name them the Suicide Squad, to carry out combat missions against the two superhumans—Homelander and Superman.
This was truly a Suicide Squad in name and deed. Anna silently mourned for this superpowered team for a second in her heart.
"We're here!"
Ivanna pointed to a building located in a dimly lit alley and said to her partner.
"Alright, even though I don't like performing missions at night, as long as someone is with me, it's fine! Let me say first, this gang leader is mine. I like guys who are strong and have some abilities; their resistance excites me!"
The petite Anna said to Ivanna.
On the other side, Eric, who had returned to campus life, encountered a headache-inducing presence.
Arthur Curry, pointing at the mermaids in "cthulhu," asked Eric, "Why do these mermaids appear in Gotham?"
"You like them very much?"
Eric stood aside, frowning.
"It's not that I like them, but my father said he had seen them before, you know? My father really likes your books, especially that piece 'The Dunwich Horror,' he said it was the most imaginative and terrifying writing he had ever seen!"
As soon as Arthur started talking about Eric's books and his father, he began to babble, his eyes sparkling with bright light.
"These mermaids, my father had seen them when he was a lighthouse keeper. In the turbulent waves, these mermaids constantly appeared along the distant coastline, crawled onto the shore, and then disappeared without a trace. They are terrifying creatures from the bottom of the sea, creatures that the Creator could not create. Perhaps their appearance is related to the Atlantis you mentioned!"
Arthur said excitedly to Eric, "You can help me find Atlantis, Eric!"
"So what?"
Eric stood in an empty classroom at Metropolis University, outside was a tranquil night enveloped by darkness.
Only the classroom where the two were located in the entire building emitted a faint light in the hazy night.
"If I guide you to find Atlantis, then are you willing to give me the position of Lord of Atlantis?"
Eric asked him casually.
"Lord of Atlantis?"
Arthur showed an extremely surprised expression, "Why would I give you this? I'm not the master of Atlantis, I don't even know where it is."
Arthur found Eric's words a bit inexplicable.
"Who can say for sure about the future?"
Eric replied coldly, then turned to leave.
"By the way, tell your father for me that I remember him as a reader."
"My father has passed away."
Arthur said with some sadness.
"Oh? That's truly an unfortunate event."
Eric shook his head, saying as he walked out of the classroom.
Although he spoke of misfortune, Arthur saw no expression of sympathy for the "misfortune" on his face.
"Wait!"
Seeing Eric about to leave, Arthur immediately chased after him.
"If you help me find Atlantis, I promise you!"
Arthur said solemnly to Eric.
Anyway, he wouldn't be the master of Atlantis, so what if he gave it away?
It wasn't his, so giving it away wouldn't cause him any heartache.
Arthur's only thought now was to find his mother and the legendary Atlantis.
Because his mother might be in Atlantis, as long as he found his mother and told her his father's last words, he would have completed his mission.
"Remember what you said, Arthur Curry!"
Eric gave Arthur a cold look and walked straight out of the classroom.
Leaving Arthur in the classroom, staring blankly at Eric's disappearing back.
"Is that it?"
Arthur, with a puzzled look in his eyes, frowned.
He didn't know why, but watching Eric disappear at the end of the corridor, he felt as if he had lost something.
