Chapter 236 The Vanished Spider Family, New York's Epic Crime Rate Rise!
After a period of time, news of the Spider Family's incompetence emerged one after another, and eventually the Spider Family even disappeared from New York completely.
This has caused criminals and supervillains who had previously dared not cause trouble in New York due to the Spider Family's frequent crackdowns on crime, and who had even gone so far as to launder their money, to start having some ulterior motives again.
You mean, there's no Spider-Man in New York anymore, is that right?
When the sun that illuminates the world goes out, night will come as promised...
First, there's Hell's Kitchen, which is under the Spider-Man family's close scrutiny. When the gangs realized that the Spider-Men, who used to come to Hell's Kitchen every now and then to plunder, stopped interfering with their affairs there, their previously restrained high-profit, high-damage, and high-coverage criminal activities started again!
People discovered that the number of drug addicts, which had been reduced to almost invisible thanks to Spider-Man's vigorous cleanup efforts in recent years, had once again returned to New York City, roaming the streets like zombies...
The air in New York is no longer fresh; it has reverted to the nauseating American herbal smell of years ago, before the spider family appeared...
The streets and alleys they often passed through on their way home from get off work were no longer safe; they had once again become spawn points for 'dark elves.' Anyone who ventured in, if lucky, would only have all their money stolen...
Unfortunately, she was robbed of her money and sexually assaulted; even more unfortunate, once she went inside, she never came out, until she began to decompose and was carried out by the police...
In addition to the rise in the rate of ordinary criminals, the disappearance of the Spider Family has also led to a significant increase in the frequency of supervillains appearing in New York and the impact of these supervillains!
The supervillain who robbed the bank was no longer being stopped by Spider-Man. In the past, the supervillain could be dealt with quickly in the news. This time, however, he became unstoppable. He took away a lot of the money that the victims had deposited in the bank and swaggered away, seemingly mocking the city's stupidity and the fact that they had handed over their protector!
Losing money is one thing, but worse, these purely anti-human super criminals have begun to rampage through various public places, causing numerous casualties.
In the past, Spider-Man and his team have always been able to appear in time to save them from danger and rescue their lives time and time again.
But this time, when the supervillain's fist loomed large before their eyes, Spider-Man was no longer there to easily catch it for them, allowing them to take their lives for granted time and time again.
This time, there were only individual blossoms of blood blooming under the fists of supervillains.
What reached their ears was no longer Spider-Man's comforting words, but the terrified screams of others...
Ten days, just a short ten days.
New York City transformed from a peaceful city where people dared to go for a walk alone at night into a crime metropolis where supervillains run rampant during the day and gangsters roam freely at night!
Screams, police sirens, explosions, and gunfire seemed to form a never-ending symphony in this city...
People began to feel fear and regret. They wanted to return to New York when the Spider Family still existed, a New York where the air was fresh and people greeted each other kindly...
Instead of the New York of today, where people fear being robbed by strangers on their way to work during the day, and can't even sleep soundly at home at night, fearing a stranger will break in and shoot them...
Ten days ago, they were denouncing the Spider Family; ten days later, they're wailing and begging for the Spider Family to return...
But one day, two days, then ten days passed, and the crime in New York grew increasingly rampant, yet the Spider Family never appeared again...
New York's crime rate has soared to the top in the United States, and even the world!
The frequency of supervillains appearing in the city is far higher than that of Los Angeles, which ranks second!
Now, New York is no longer referred to as the world's economic center, but rather as the world's crime center!
In DC Comics' Gotham, you could only call it Little New York.
Parker Building.
As one of the few companies in New York that was not affected by the month-long unrest, the month-long turmoil actually made all the employees of Park Industries more loyal to the company.
Not only do they exceed their daily work targets, but they also voluntarily choose to work overtime, almost to the point of sleeping at the company.
Because it's just too scary outside! There are armed robbers and super-criminals who kill people all the time!
Once they left the company, without the protection of the company's super security team, they didn't know if they could get home safely. Even if they did, they weren't sure if they would wake up again after falling asleep...
At least they can guarantee their safety by staying at the company, right?
To this end, Toby also specially repurposed several vacant floors into employee lounges and recreation rooms, so that employees who didn't want to go home after get off work could stay and enjoy themselves for free, instead of sleeping at their workstations.
This move undoubtedly earned Toby, the rarely seen boss, a group of loyal employee fans.
Top floor, Spider Family Conference Room.
It has been a month since the last Spider Family meeting.
Unlike the last meeting, where the entire Spider Family was dressed in Spider Suit and looked very energetic.
Now, in the conference room, although the entire Spider Family is present, none of them are wearing the Spider Suit that they used to be reluctant to take off.
They were all dressed in casual clothes, with downcast eyes and unshaven, decadent looks.
This past month has been a physical and mental catastrophe for ordinary New Yorkers, who live in constant fear.
It was a heavy blow to the Spider-Men of the Spider-Family, both physically and mentally!
They never imagined they would do so much for New York over the years. The members of the Spider Family even worked around the clock to fight crime in New York, saving countless lives day and night!
But in just ten days, they were reduced to being hated by everyone!
During this period, very few people were willing to believe they were innocent, to stand up for them, or to question the authenticity of the videos that clearly contradicted their previous behavior...
All they received were a barrage of nasty insults directed at them!
Although there was some behind-the-scenes manipulation by the Skrulls and media hype involved, no snowflake in this New York avalanche is innocent!
Because when the snowball named "rumor" rolled down the mountain, almost all the snowflakes on the mountain believed it and chose to attach themselves to it, allowing the snowball to grow larger and larger...
Instead of choosing to build an ice wall of faith in their spider family to stop the snowball from growing bigger and bigger, and to put an end to the rumors...
