Chapter Thirty-Eight: Our Reason for Being Here
Lee, Captain Rogers, and Thor came to Nepal from the United States. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't alarm anyone, as no traffic vehicles were used that required registration. Directly let Lan help open a door to space, and came to South Asia from the United States.
It wasn't particularly difficult to find Dr. Bruce Banner's initial tracks, especially since Tony Stark had an eye on Dr. Banner and tracked down Dr. Banner, although Dr. Banner seemed to have warned him before he left, telling Tony not to follow him. But that seems to have backfired.
In that situation where everyone was shocked at the time, maybe Tony might not have been able to react if Banner didn't say it, maybe he did it on purpose?
"That guy is not easy to deal with. Lan glanced at Li Jie with some anxiety when he sent Li Jie and the others to Nepal. She tied her long hair into a ponytail and danced in the wind.
"Do you need me to stay and help you?at least retreat at any time, Dr. Banner's power to defeat the Red Hulk with one punch is terrifying, even some secondary demon gods may not be able to compare to him. ”
However, Li Jie also resolutely rejected Lan's proposal to stay: "No, you still go back to New York." As long as Dr. Banner is still sane, then he can be persuaded that we are not here to fight. ”
Li Jie resolutely didn't let Lan get involved, this thing is a bit too dangerous, anyway, there is a meat shield Thor here, if it doesn't work, let him transform into a thunder god. It's good that Green Fat and Lei Fat beat each other.
So when Arashi returned, only three big men were left to wander the streets of Nepal.
Even in the country's capital, the streets of Kathmandu are still difficult to hide the city's poverty and dilapidation.
Low and dilapidated houses are everywhere, and street beggars and homeless people are everywhere.
Dressed children ran after foreign tourists, many of whom had broken families like Bahadur, but they were even more unfortunate that none of the old monks had taken them in.
They have to beg in the city to make a living, don't think they're chasing you for a block. Because for them, a dollar thrown in the pocket of a foreign tourist is enough for them to eat half-starved for two or three days.
It's just to live!
Just like Li Jie and his party were pestered by seven or eight children for a long time, and finally Thor bought two hamburgers for all the children at a restaurant on the side of the street that served foreign tourists, and then they reluctantly dispersed.
Bread lettuce, tomatoes with cheddar cheese and beef patty burgers are just a normal meal in many countries.
It is even branded as junk food in many places and discarded. But for these children, a burger costs five dollars (about 300~400 rupees), and this simple food is extremely luxurious here. You must know that a loaf made of couscous wheat is less than 30 rupees, and one loaf can top a meal!
A burger can buy a dozen of these patties.
Most of the children stopped after only half a hamburger, and some even took only one bite. The aroma of meatloaf and cheddar cheese is strong and seduces the cravings in the stomachs of children. Li Jie couldn't help but swallow saliva when he saw the throats of these children, but he didn't eat a single bite.
"What, you don't like to eat?" (Nepali) Captain Rogers looked at the children in front of him with some confusion.
In order to come to Nepal to communicate conveniently, Captain Rogers specially took a week to learn Nepali by surprise, mastering the basic conversational skills, although he can't write Nepalese now, but the language communication is jerky but can still communicate.
This is what the real Super Soldier Serum does, but only Captain Rogers has this trait: Super Learning. It took three days to learn the violin, half a month to master the piano, to be able to play "V3" and "Turkish March", and to learn French including spelling in one month, and it took less than a month and a half to fully master German, just like the Germans.
Within half a year, he mastered all the fighting techniques known in the world, and created his own shield fighting technique.
No one else has the same super-learning abilities as the Captain after being injected with the Super Soldier Serum. Even the Winter Soldier program studied by the Soviet Union is far from it, although the Winter Soldiers are strong.
But the Super Soldier Serum in this world is, after all, specially researched by the Brotherhood of the Aegis for Captain Rogers. (As mentioned earlier in the Immortal City and the Brotherhood of the Aegis, Rogers is the chosen one.) )
So Captain Rogers is not only an excellent martial artist, but also a very good musician, linguist, dancer, etc.
So Captain Rogers was a little curious as to why the kids didn't eat the burgers, because it looked like they were going to like them. For Nepalis, beef is a luxury.
The beef patty in this burger weighs more than 200 grams, which is quite a sincere amount, and maybe the children here can't eat so much beef in a year.
And the bread sprinkled with sesame seeds was not comparable to the coarse wheat cakes they usually ate.
The eldest child in the lead also led this group of seven or eight children to follow Li Jie and his party, and the eldest child who got tired of them bowed to Thor, and then said to Rogers: "This food is too expensive, we can eat a bite, and then take the remaining half home for our younger siblings to eat." And the burger that hasn't been eaten yet, we can go to the pastry stand and get at least five thick pastry pies back. This will keep our family well fed today. ”
The child spoke calmly, without any emotion, as if it was a natural thing.
When survival is the first priority, it is difficult for any desire for luxury to outweigh the desire to live. The children saluted Li Jie and the three of them before leaving quickly. They had to take the food home while the burger was still hot.
Just like what they do every day, it's survival!
Captain Rogers let out a breath of turbid air as he watched the group of children go away, and he told Rig and Thor what the kids had just said in a very uncomfortable tone.
"We should give them some money, I thought the children at the Southern Cross Welfare Home were already having a hard time. Why didn't you just let me give them some money?" Thor shook his head, then stared at Li Jie again.
Because just now, Li Jie didn't ask Thor to give money to these children, but asked him to go to the restaurant next to him and buy some hamburgers to share with these children.
Li Jie shook his head: "How much are you going to give them? You know, ten dollars here is enough for some people to do murderous things." Poor places are not necessarily good, and there may be many flashes of humanity here, but they can't hide all kinds of bloody events that happen in order to survive. ”
Thor looked at Li Jie for a moment, and finally could only sigh and look at it.
Captain Rogers said thoughtfully, "Is that why you just didn't let us go straight to Dr. Banner and instead walk around Kathmandu?"
"Yes, Dr. Banner is a good man in every way. What he wanted to do was more of a desire to do good, and it was never his intention to study weapons for the military. We should first find out about the situation in the area where he lives before we have a chance to convince him. After speaking, Li Jie patted Thor's shoulder.
Thor looked at the ruined city and said, "The country is too poor. ”
Li Jie said noncommittally: "Even if you are rich, what about it? This kind of thing happens all over the world, and you have seen it in the United States." Looking at China in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, the countries on the other side of the border are not necessarily better than Nepal, and there are many children who cannot afford to eat in the poor mountainous areas of the west. ”
"Why?" Thor, a little puzzled, "China and the United States are not short of money, are they?"
"In a sense, there is no shortage, but how much of their money is spent on competing with each other and preparing for war?" Li Jie said with a slight mockery.
"Modern society is becoming more and more cruel, no longer the original naked and bloody cruelty, but another invisible cruelty. Nepal is nothing more than a casualty of the great powers, accompanied by millions of people in this country. ”
Captain Rogers walked forward slowly, and at the same time said firmly, "So this is why we are here, this world should change!"
Li Jie patted Thor on the back, the second big step of his whole big plan was actually ready to begin, but now it was just a matter of looking for Dr. Benner to strengthen the Illuminati.
While a few people were browsing Kathmandu, a children's voice who was fluent in American English said, "Gentlemen, do you need a guide?"
A little novice was wearing a somewhat torn but clean monk's robe, looking at Li Jie and the others with a flattering smile.
PS: There will be three shifts today, and these foreshadowing is really not water. How do you understand Banner's state of mind without the necessary understanding of the environment, and then try to convince him? What is written without foreshadowing is dry and unconvincing. In addition, these stories are also the basis for other things to happen.
In addition, there are three more today
