…………

As night fell, New York City, which was once extremely bustling, became depressed and quiet, and the appearance of lizardmen made the citizens panic. Some gangsters and criminals took advantage of this opportunity to continue committing crimes, adding more pressure to the police.

A woman in a hurry was walking quickly towards home. Today she was very unlucky to have to work overtime, so she couldn't go home until evening. She knew that this period of time was very dangerous, so she could only keep her head buried in her journey, and then kept praying in her heart.

It's a pity that God didn't seem to hear her prayer, and was stopped by a few hooligans when she just walked through an alley. The shiny blade pressed against her cheek, and all the money on her body was looted by these gangsters. What made him feel even more desperate was that these little bastards started tearing her clothes in a brutal manner.

"God, please save me." She called out loudly, but it was a pity that in such an environment, it was impossible for passers-by to pass by.

Just when the woman was about to be insulted, a young man with flowing long hair carrying a drawing board on his back, full of artistry, came to the alley, and the paintbrush in his hand tapped lightly on the wall, making a crisp sound.

"Boy! I advise you to get out! Or I'll punch a few holes in your body." A young man cursed loudly.

The artistic youth took off the drawing board and made a gesture of painting. This behavior made the little gangster even more angry. He took a knife and rushed towards the young man, wanting to teach him a lesson.

The young artist calmly sketched a few strokes on the drawing board, and then threw the canvas out. The originally flimsy canvas changed drastically during the flight, and it turned into a huge tiger, pounced on the little gangster.

This kind of change surprised the little gangster, and he was thrown to the ground by the tiger without warning. The tiger's thick claws slapped the little gangster's head, adding a few scratches to him, and knocking the little gangster unconscious by the way.

The remaining three gangsters were scared out of their wits and ran away in a panic. The young artist turned out a canvas again, and drew a pistol with just a few strokes. As soon as the palm was pressed on the drawing board, it turned into a real pistol.

The artist's marksmanship was very good, and he knocked down a few gangsters without missing a beat. The bullets were not fatal, they all hit the thighs of these punks, and it is estimated that they will be disabled even if they are cured.

After finishing all this, the young artist put away his drawing board and was about to leave, but he heard the rescued woman ask behind him, "Thank God, who are you?"

The artistic youth turned his head and smiled, and said to the woman, "I am Lubbock Lax, or you can call me by another name——Punisher. I am an emissary sent by heaven to punish villains."

Lubbock Lux, one of the mutants recruited by Matt, has the ability to turn pictures into real objects. Although it can only last for a short time, as long as you have multiple pictures with you, you can deal with many different situations.

Similar scenes played out in various places in New York City, as Shinra employees called themselves Punishers, and severely cracked down on those criminals.

At the moment when crimes are rampant, the appearance of heroes is often praised the first time. In just one night, Shinra employees only rescued less than a hundred people, but the reputation of the Punisher has spread throughout New York City.

Community forums are frantically reposting information about the Punisher,

Although a large part of it is based on rumors and exaggerates the abilities of mutants without limit, but at this turbulent moment, the appearance of the Punisher undoubtedly gave the citizens a boost.

The media with a keen sense of smell immediately discovered that this is a very good topic to attack the government, and they are all ready to take a good round of hacking the police in New York City today. After all, they have been busy for so long, and the Lizardmen's affairs have become more and more troublesome.

But before it was time to publish the article, the New York City Police Department issued a statement saying that it had found a one-time solution to the lizardman problem.

The police have already mastered the antidote against this mutation, and they only need to use the Canary device of Osborne Enterprises to spread the antidote throughout the city. Even if the lizardmen hide in the sewer, they cannot escape the coverage of the potion, and all the lizardmen will return to normal.

This news made all the media who were preparing to black the police lose their words. This news was even more explosive than the appearance of the Punisher. After all, criminals are just a trivial matter, and lizard talents are a major event that truly endangers the entire human society. Since the police dared to announce in public like this, the credibility of the news is very high.

Then the more explosive news is yet to come. Sheriff Stacey pointed out very clearly in the report that the use of the Canary device has very strict requirements and requires a lot of preparation time. In order to prevent the Canary Device from being destroyed by the Lizardmen before it was officially launched, the police asked mutants who called themselves Punishers to participate in the defense work.

When this news appeared, the keyword of punisher once again detonated the entire Internet. This is the first time that the government has responded positively to this kind of folk hero and sent a message of willingness to cooperate.

In fact, if the scourge of the lizard people is not too great, it is absolutely impossible for the government to agree to this kind of cooperation. Because this represents the government's self-confessed incompetence, which is a heavy blow to the credibility of the officials in power.

But Roddy exerted pressure through the three giant companies Stark, Osborn and Shinra, and even used the power of the military, this time to make the government bow. This is also the most important step in Roddy's plan. Only with official recognition can the Punisher plan be justified, and only in this way can mutants truly walk in front of humans without any scruples.

After reading the news, Rody knew that his first step plan had succeeded. Now it is only necessary to deal with the matter of the lizard people, and the rise of the mutants will be unstoppable.

The street lights came on, ten hours had passed since the press release, and everything seemed to be ready.

On the top floor of the Osborne Building, the Canary device is fixed on the spire, and it only needs to put in the corresponding potion, and it can turn into a cloud and cover the entire city. It's just that the anticipation of the Canary device takes a long time, and this is also the most dangerous moment.

Numerous police officers and Shinra employees are already in their positions, waiting for the arrival of the Lizardmen.

"Roddy, do you think those monsters will come?" Peter asked a little nervously.

"Of course it will come. Even if there is only a 1% chance, Neil Garfage would not dare to bet because he cannot afford to lose." Roddy said with certainty.

As soon as the words fell, the covers of the sewers outside the Osborne Building were lifted one by one, and countless lizardmen gushed out from inside. The police who were waiting in full battle immediately opened fire, but it was a pity that they couldn't effectively kill the powerful lizardman.

"It's time for us to play, this is the first battle of the Punisher, let these big lizards have a taste!"

A pair of huge wings grew from Rody's back, and he flew into the night.
