Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 2 Police Situation

Link wasn't afraid of the chaos in Hell's Kitchen because he was powerful enough. As a transmigrator, he had his own cheat codes; he possessed a superhuman body.

Just a year ago, the original owner of Link graduated from the police academy. That night, he celebrated with his fellow trainees, but he drank too much and accidentally fell on the side of the road on his way home.

But a soul named Link took over his body and devoured his soul, and from then on Link was replaced.

After getting up from the ground and returning home according to the original owner's memories, it was a three-story townhouse built in the 1950s.

Link lives alone in his house. His parents were in a car accident a year ago, leaving behind the house and some savings, and later received a huge insurance payout.

Link quickly adapted to his new identity, but after checking some news, he discovered that Stark Industries and Tony Stark himself existed in this world.

This explains why Tony Stark, as a guiding light for the Marvel Universe, has become the most prominent beacon here with his high-profile style.

This made Link a little flustered. He tossed and turned until dawn before finally falling asleep. When he woke up, the sunlight streamed into the bedroom, making him feel warm all over. He felt as if he were sealed in bed for a moment.

Soon his body reacted, as if it were constantly strengthening. This discovery left him somewhat bewildered, as he had to figure everything out on his own without a system.

In the days that followed, Link worked hard to complete his internship while also constantly basking in the sun. Fortunately, he was patrolling the streets, so even when he was sitting in his car, the sun could still shine on him.

During his rest time, he would sunbathe in his bedroom. As some abilities emerged, such as X-ray vision and super hearing, he became certain that he possessed a superhuman body.

So, when you go to Hell's Kitchen, you shouldn't be worried about yourself, but about those guys.

……

Link has no intention of becoming a superhero; he's not going to invite trouble. His plan is to find an Infinity Stone and then let them fight to the death!

Upon arriving at the West Central Police Station, Link was surprised to be assigned to a separate team after reporting for duty. This meant that he, a newly promoted police officer, would have to patrol in his own police car.

Police officers in New York don't earn high salaries. Someone like Link, who graduated from college, can get a starting salary of over $50,000 per year.

However, in a cosmopolitan metropolis like New York, this amount of money is not much, especially considering the high overtime pay, which is also the main source of income.

But that's not how it works. Being a police officer in the United States is a high-risk profession. In this country where guns are rampant, you never know who might be carrying a gun or who might suddenly pull out a gun and shoot you.

Working under such high pressure, with each shift lasting twelve hours, makes many people unwilling to become New York police officers.

Therefore, the police force has always been insufficient, especially the West Midtown Precinct, which is infamous for Hell's Kitchen. It is difficult to have all officers in pairs. Link's arrival provides an extra person.

Moreover, it's said that he offended the district attorney, so they simply put Link in his own group, since he's a full-fledged police officer now.

Link didn't care. He took a Glock 19 as his police sidearm and bought a Glock 26 as his personal sidearm, which he could carry after get off work.

When at work, it's usually placed at the ankle to hide it.

The first few days of day shifts were fine, but the night shifts were the trouble.

At 8 p.m. sharp, Link drove his police car away from the precinct and headed toward his patrol route. Hell's Kitchen was extremely dangerous at night, and gunshots could be heard faintly.

Link listened to the radio while driving slowly through the streets, his eyes scanning back and forth.

Apart from a few vehicles, there was no one to be seen on the street, but Link's eyes allowed him to clearly see people hidden in the darkness.

Their attire clearly identified them as street thugs. They would shun the police cars at a distance, and once the police cars had passed, they would resume their partying.

"Attention all personnel, a gunfight has broken out in the XXX block. All nearby officers are requested to proceed immediately." The voice suddenly came from the control center. Upon hearing this, Link picked up the microphone to announce his arrival, then turned on the police lights and sirens, turned the steering wheel, floored the accelerator, and sped off.

As they approached, they could hear gunfire from afar, creating a chaotic scene. Link activated his super hearing to assess the situation ahead.

This is a fierce battle between the Russian and Irish gangs. Both gangs are quite powerful and are competing intensely in the prostitution industry.

Especially some high-end clients, they pay a lot of money, but they also have high demands and even some special hobbies.

This information was not from the two gangs fighting, but from patrolling police officers who were watching the commotion nearby. The moment Link activated his super hearing, a large number of voices converged.

Instead of rushing to the scene like him, nearby patrol officers turned on their sirens and drove around the area in their patrol cars.

The main point is to create a tense atmosphere, but I'm not going to get involved; you can do whatever you want.

Link tried to brake, but his right foot never left the accelerator, and he continued to drive at high speed.

Having just arrived, he offended a district attorney and was sent to Hell's Kitchen.

The prosecutor is responsible for reviewing cases. After the police arrest the suspect, they investigate, collect evidence, and complete the chain of evidence, they submit the case to the prosecutor.

If the prosecutor finds no problems with the case, then initiating a lawsuit is like putting the police in a difficult position. Link is a policeman now, and he needs a job. Of course, he can also choose not to work; he won't lack money using his superpowers.

He could become rich overnight by going to Las Vegas, but he would also easily become a target.

People always need to find something to do. Since he doesn't lack wealth and doesn't need to work hard for it, he should find an interesting job.

The police profession, especially the American police profession, is very interesting to him. If he gets tired of it one day, he can resign, but right now it's a novel experience.

"Vroom~" The police car roared as Link floored the accelerator and quickly arrived at the point of engagement.

Ahead was a restaurant, and a group of people were using vehicles as cover outside, firing continuously into the restaurant.

This restaurant belongs to the Russian gang. Although the Irish gang has strong firepower, they are, after all, just a gang, not soldiers, and they have not yet stormed in.

Link pointed the car at the Irish gang, then got out, pulled out his gun, and pointed it forward. "NYPD..."
