"Crash!"
The glass of the newspaper office room shattered, and the car, like a wild horse, crashed towards the two.
Clark immediately activated his super speed, quickly moved in front of Chloe, hugged her, turned, and used his body to shield her from the flying glass shards.
At the same time, he extended one hand and braced against the car's front bumper, stopping the car's continued impact.
With a thud, the entire newspaper office experienced a slight tremor.
Chloe looked up from Clark's arms in surprise, stunned by the sight of Clark holding the car with one hand.
Clark, with a calm expression, released Chloe, took a deep breath, and quickly walked out of the newspaper office.
"Clark!" Chloe quickly walked over and grabbed Clark's hand. "You can't save everyone. General Zod is searching for you. Exposing yourself now is very dangerous!"
"This is something I have to do."
"The root of everything is General Zod. Unless you defeat him head-on, but are you ready?" Chloe asked him, her voice agitated.
"I don't know. But it's not safe here anymore, Chloe. You can't stay here."
At this moment, Chloe was the only one still working at the Daily Planet. Clark wanted to take her away.
"Don't worry about me, Clark. If you're ready, then go!" Chloe said to Clark.
Clark looked deeply at Chloe, then turned and left.
"Wait!" Chloe called out to Clark again, her expression complex as she said, "Perhaps this is the last time we'll see each other!"
Saying this, she walked up and hugged him tightly.
As Chloe hugged him, a hint of tenderness appeared in Clark's eyes.
He lowered his head, gently embracing the girl who had been by his side since middle school.
Leaving Chloe, Clark stood in the newspaper office, looking out.
He saw that the streets were already filled with people taking advantage of the chaos to smash, loot, and burn. He guessed that the car earlier had crashed in to avoid the rioters.
The wailing of police sirens sounded on the streets. Fully armed Xiao Hunhun, dressed in black, threw Molotov cocktails while dodging police pursuit.
Metropolis, Washington, Metropolis, Star City—almost all major cities across America were plunged into unrest.
"Thump! Thump!"
A taxi was surrounded by rioters, who were repeatedly striking the windows with iron rods.
The person hiding inside the car curled up, screaming in terror.
The leading Xiao Hunhun was about to twist open the car door when suddenly a pair of hands reached out, grabbed the Xiao Hunhun's clothes, and flung him away.
The group of Xiao Hunhun attacking the taxi, seeing the uninvited guest, immediately turned their attention to him.
Arthur Curry, the Aquaman, emerged from the shadows, his eyes unfriendly as he looked at these ill-intentioned Xiao Hunhun.
Bang!
Before the Xiao Hunhun could react, Arthur threw a punch forward, directly knocking down the closest guy.
Then he quickly turned and twisted his waist, kicking another Xiao Hunhun, sending him crashing onto a car with a loud thud.
Without looking back, he casually swung his elbow backward, dodging the opponent's iron rod attack, hitting their chest, and slamming them hard onto the ground.
Quickly taking care of this group of Xiao Hunhun, Arthur wiped his hands and continued walking forward.
He had just arrived in Metropolis and hadn't even officially started his journey to find Eric when he encountered urban riots.
Although somewhat annoyed, he couldn't resist taking a stroll down the street and giving these "zero-dollar shoppers" a good beating.
"Whoosh!"
A Toyota car in front of him, set ablaze by who-knows-who, made crackling, explosive sounds in the night sky.
Arthur glanced at the burning car and continued walking.
The glass of a room overhead was shattered, and a valuable safe from the building was thrown out. A Xiao Hunhun who had robbed a citizen's home peeked out of the window to look at his spoils, then retreated, continuing to throw things down from the second floor.
A masked guy to his left threw a Molotov cocktail at a police car.
While setting the police car on fire, he accidentally set himself on fire too, screaming and rolling on the ground.
Frowning, feeling increasingly that humans were truly beyond redemption, he saw a little girl quickly run towards him.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The little girl, in a blue-black trench coat and purple hood, with a head like a large radish, ran like a rabbit, swift as the wind under her feet, and in an instant, she ran past Arthur.
Behind the little girl, a group of Xiao Hunhun with baseball bats cursed as they chased her.
"?" A big question mark appeared above Arthur's head as he looked at the bizarre scene before him.
What was happening?
The chaotic streets were filled with criminals smashing, looting, and burning. Blood and flames spread across the entire street.
While everyone else was trembling and hiding at home, a little girl appeared on the street, and she was being chased by a group of Xiao Hunhun?
What kind of development was this?
Arthur, stunned for a moment, saw the little girl being chased like a rabbit, and his sense of justice immediately kicked in. He chased after them.
Arthur, with Atlantean blood, quickly caught up to the group.
"Hey!" Arthur, instantly standing among the chasing Xiao Hunhun, asked the startled group, "Stop right there!"
"Who the hell are you?" The leading Xiao Hunhun asked him, panting.
"The one who's going to deal with you!" Arthur, also hot-tempered, showed his fist and punched the insolent guy.
He instantly hammered the opponent backward, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.
Before the others could react, Arthur quickly took care of the group of Xiao Hunhun, knocking them to the ground.
Loosening his wrists, Arthur shook his head as he looked at the groaning Xiao Hunhun on the ground, then walked towards the girl who was secretly hiding behind a car, observing him.
The hooded little girl didn't seem to be afraid of him. Seeing Arthur walk towards her, she clutched the bag in her hand, which was almost half her height.
Arthur could vaguely see jewelry peeking out of the bag.
"Hello!" Arthur tried his best to give a friendly smile. "Why are you here, sweetheart?"
"I…" The hooded girl looked at the handsome older brother curiously and said, "I'm looking for my brother!"
"Your brother? Who is your brother? I'll take you back. The streets are very dangerous." Arthur said to her.
"No! I won't go until I find my brother!" The hooded little girl said stubbornly.
"Bang!" Arthur was about to say something else when he suddenly heard an air explosion from a distance.
