Chapter 375 Leave No One Behind
Since its inception, the Punisher organization had been quiet.
But suddenly, an official communication window named "Punishment Record" appeared on the Gemini app!
Curiosity about the hero Black Clothes and the tech island spiked, drawing the attention of countless netizens.
However, the window remained empty of updates.
Until tonight, when a torrential downpour began.
In the suburbs of Wavehaven, a 20-story building experienced a sudden gas explosion!
The 18th floor was engulfed in flames, smoke billowing everywhere!
On the 19th and 20th floors, several civilians were trapped!
The fire was fierce, making it impossible for rescue teams to reach them, and high-pressure water hoses couldn't reach that high!
Strangely, all the heroes from BioGen Innovations were nowhere to be found!
As this news broke, the Punishment Record updated: Black Clothes was on his way!
Netizens were on the edge of their seats, anxiously waiting!
Then, the Punishment Record synced a live video feed!
The footage came from a street camera!
In an alley behind the burning building, seven figures dressed in black, wearing masks, stood with their arms crossed, watching the inferno!
Despite the cries for help from above, they remained unmoved!
Netizens were baffled!
Suddenly, a shadow appeared on a distant rooftop, dressed in a black trench coat, leaping between buildings!
With each jump, he covered about thirty feet, reaching the burning building in the blink of an eye!
With a loud crash, the figure in the black trench coat leaped up!
He jumped at least to the 8th floor!
Then, using the building's exterior for leverage, he continued to jump, heading straight for the 19th and 20th floors!
Netizens gasped in amazement!
Black Clothes was indeed fearless!
He began rescuing trapped civilians, leaping from the rooftop and landing safely on the ground, only to return and save more!
Netizens were thrilled!
He was incredible!
It wouldn't take long for Black Clothes to save everyone!
But then the camera shifted back to the seven figures in the alley!
The leader spoke in a low voice, "Get ready. Once he leaves the scene, we'll follow and take him down together!"
Another hesitated, "Sir, he doesn't seem like a C-level! Climbing 20 floors in seconds? As a C5, I can't do that!"
"What's there to fear?"
The leader's eyes gleamed coldly, "There are seven of us C-levels. We can't handle one guy? Follow my lead! After we kill him, destroy the body, leave no trace!"
"Black Clothes must disappear from this world!"
These seven were B+ level modified humans, recommended to Bertrand by the six allied nations!
But they were a mixed bag, with many not meeting the physical standards!
It took Bertrand 20 days to successfully upgrade these seven!
And in the process, several others died or were maimed!
The six nations had no choice but to swallow their pride!
As long as they killed Black Clothes, the Punisher Organization would be leaderless!
More and more people were watching the Punishment Record post!
They were shocked and furious!
Someone wanted to kill Black Clothes?
And destroy his body?
Who were these evil people, wanting to kill a hero saving civilians?
"Damn it, who are these people?"
"How can they do something so sinister?"
"I know where this building is! Let's get together and take these guys down!"
"I'm calling the cops right now!"
Comments flooded the Punishment Record post, filled with anger and determination.
Suddenly, an official message appeared: "Everyone, stay calm! Evil modified humans will be punished by the Punisher!"
By now, Black Clothes had saved all the trapped civilians. He didn't linger, leaping away and disappearing into the streets.
The seven masked figures in the alley narrowed their eyes and immediately gave chase.
Just when netizens thought they had lost the feed, the camera switched again, showing various street and shop cameras activating. The footage flickered, providing a seamless live broadcast.
Viewers were stunned. This felt familiar. Was Paul Three involved?
The camera switched again. The seven masked figures were chasing, turning into an empty street. They suddenly stopped.
In the distance, under a dim streetlight, amidst the pouring rain, a figure in a black trench coat stood silently. Black Clothes was waiting for them.
The seven figures' eyes gleamed coldly as they drew black daggers from their waists. A video overlay quickly analyzed the data: Avalonia Military M9 Combat Knives.
Viewers were shocked. Avalonia military? Were they foreigners?
The leader spoke, "Black Clothes, this is where you die! And it's the last day your body remains intact!"
"In an hour, your body will be chopped up and washed into the sea through the sewers!"
Viewers watching the live stream were enraged. These guys were truly vicious!
In this tense moment, Black Clothes shrugged with a smile, "I'd love to kill you all right here, but I have a plane to catch. Orders from above, I have to go to Evalia on a business trip!"
"Goodbye!"
With that, Black Clothes reluctantly shook his head and vanished. His speed was so fast, the seven masked figures couldn't see where he went.
Viewers were stunned. He ran? Well, if Black Clothes couldn't beat them, at least he was smart to run!
Just as the seven masked figures prepared to chase again, another figure emerged from the rain.
This person was over 7 feet tall, broad-shouldered, wearing a military green tank top, with scars crisscrossing his back. Rainwater flowed down his chiseled muscles, exuding a fierce aura. He had a buzz cut and slightly tilted his head.
His deep voice penetrated several meters, reaching the masked figures' ears: "I am Punisher, Iron Four!"
"Prepare to be punished, insects!"
Everyone felt a chill. This was another member of the Punisher Organization! Iron Four? Never heard of him! But he looked strong!
Without another word, Iron Four charged into the seven masked figures like a raging bear. The battle was a massacre. Iron Four was ruthless, showing no mercy!
The seven were no match for him, bones cracking and screams echoing. Iron Four's first move broke one masked figure's arm, followed by a punch that caved in another's chest.
In the rain, Iron Four was like a demon, every move lethal. Amidst the chaos and cries of agony, Iron Four twisted the last figure's neck, the body collapsing to the ground.
Iron Four stood in the rain, seven bodies at his feet. Everyone was horrified. The Punisher's first action left no survivors!
