Chapter 1225: Scruples and Impulsive Punishment
Absolute power is capable of crushing everything.
This is a truth that Statham has always understood, and he has been avoiding such a situation from happening to him. It's just that people are not as good as heaven after all, no matter how much he wants to avoid it, when such a situation happens, he still has no way to escape.
If you can't escape it, you can only face it. As for this man who suppressed himself with brutal violence as soon as he came up, although Statham wanted to face it, it was difficult for him to find his position for a while. He didn't know what to do with him.
If he is a superhero, then he has the confidence to grit his teeth and die silently. Because he knows very well that such a person will not cause himself to die. At best, some physical torture would force him into the hands of the government. And with the anti-torture training I have received, that will not be a problem. So, in the end, you will only be imprisoned.
I know my identity and status, and for Hydra, my existence must be valuable. If you are just imprisoned, as long as you wait patiently for a while, then you may be able to wait for the rescue of Hydra soon.
It's just that if he's not a superhero in the traditional sense, but an antihero, then it's a big problem.
Antiheroes don't have the moral values of those superheroes. They never cared about the world's eyes, let alone the limits of law and even morality. For them, the enemy should do whatever it takes. Even if it is to use drastic means, it is completely deserved.
It's like a punisher who once made a lot of noise in New York City. The veteran who walked down from the battlefield is the most typical anti-hero image. And the only thing he could do about the sins he was not accustomed to was to tear them to pieces with his fists, daggers, and bullets.
He once used heavy weapons to completely blast an entire gang of members into scum, and he also used the most superb tactics to snipe and kill more than 20 government officials who were corrupt and bribed, and colluded with the underworld forces. Cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill them all. That's his way of doing things. And this kind of style is not only unbearable for those evil forces, but also completely unacceptable to ordinary people and governments.
New York City's top brass once issued a death order, asking the police to use their greatest efforts to arrest this lawless existence. And in order to hunt down this veteran who can turn the entire New York Police Department around, the New York police even used the mutant SWAT that was just established at that time to target him.
Of course, in the end, it was inevitable that the punisher would fall into the hands of the mutant SWAT, and then begin to enjoy more than 400 years of prison life. But his actions have already made a bad start for all the capable and conscious people in the world.
You know, not everyone can agree with the traditional superhero style. For those who have special abilities, a considerable number of them have a heart that is unbridled and chivalrous. Let them honestly accept the kind of life of being restrained and chivalrous at the same time, it is really not as good as being an ordinary person with peace of mind. It's just that if someone can open them up for a different way, which can not only let them show what they have learned in their lives, but also allow them to eradicate evil without any scruples, of course they will not hesitate.
That's how the headache anti-hero came about.
It can be said that this is a group of guys who are not identified with anyone but themselves and each other. Whether it's the evil forces, or the superheroes of the orthodox faction, or even the government, they won't accept these guys. But it is this group of guys who act without scruples and have fierce and cruel methods that make evil forces like Hydra feel the most jealous. Because, they really do kill.
Just like right now, Statham is very worried, what if the person in front of him is an anti-hero?
If he were an anti-hero, then he certainly wouldn't have that much patience. And if you dare to die in front of such a guy, then you may really have to be killed.
Although he has reached the top of Hydra, he does not yet have the consciousness to work hard for the organization. A lonely person like him who has nothing to care about, in fact, only cares about himself the most. Therefore, in the final analysis, everything is just that he weighs the benefits and disadvantages on the basis of his own interests.
There is only one goal, and that is to live, and how to live, this is a question that he must think about now. Because no matter how he chooses, he can't escape two results. Either you will be killed by the person in front of you, or you will be chased by the hydra.
The consequences are tragic, so it's not easy to choose. Therefore, even though he had been forced to such a point, he still endured all the pain and remained silent without saying a word.
And that's not what the Havoc wants to see. He wanted an affirmative answer, not this meaningless silence. So he immediately wanted to add a fire, to force him to speak by a more drastic means. However, he was just about to do so, when the barrel of a gun was already stretched out, and it was aimed straight at the back of his head.
At this time, Nicole, who was holding a double-barreled shotgun, was like a crazy female leopard, and shouted at the catastrophe with an almost crazy demeanor and tone.
"Let him go, or I'll shoot!"
Seriously, although she was holding a gun in her hand, everyone now couldn't help but sweat in their hearts. Not for anything else, but because of the courage she is showing now, or rather, recklessness.
That's a superpower, an existence that is not at all like a normal person. Aren't you looking for death when you hold a gun at him like this? Many people can't help but think like this in their hearts, and even Nicole herself probably has such an idea in her heart. However, she had no other choice. Because she couldn't watch Statham suffer so much in front of her. So, I don't know where the courage came from, she took out the shotgun she had never used before and did what she is doing now.
It was the first time for a catastrophe to be threatened, especially by an ordinary woman who could no longer be ordinary. And when he turned his head and saw the woman behind him who was obviously trembling, but still firmly aimed the gun at him, the impatience and irritability in his heart had risen to a dangerous level.
Stupidity! That's how he defines the woman right now. And for such a stupid woman who obviously has nothing to do with Hydra, but wants to get involved. Naturally, he couldn't bear it. So, after glancing at him coldly, he warned her like an ultimatum.
"Get out of here, woman! It's not something you can get involved in. While I'm not angry, you still have the right to choose, or ......"
Although the words are not exhausted, the meaning is very clear. And for such a statement, Nicole was obviously a little shaken in her heart. However, this vacillation did not last long, and she had already been thrown off cleanly.
She's a stupid woman, and there's nothing wrong with that statement. So she made one of the stupidest decisions at this time, and that was to grit her teeth, muster up all her courage, and pull the trigger on the back of the head of the Havoc.
It is estimated that a woman who has never used any murder weapon except in the kitchen has made up her mind to kill what it is like, which is estimated that many people will feel terrible just by imagining it. Not because of anything else, but because of the possibility that she may accidentally hurt others at any time. It can be said that looking at her frightening hands, even Statham himself couldn't help but lift it in his heart. However, compared to this worry, there was more excitement and longing in his heart.
If he could really kill the catastrophe with one shot, then the problems he faced would naturally be gone. And as long as he works hard to clean up these eyewitnesses, then he can completely change his identity and live a clean life without attracting any suspicion.
Shoot him, shoot him! In my heart, I can say that I have shouted such words countless times. But with a gunshot rang out, the harsh reality told Statham that he didn't have the ability to change reality with words.
The shotguns fired from the double-barreled shotgun did not hurt the catastrophe at all, and the dense bullets should have been able to directly knock a person into a sieve, but when facing him, it was as if they had hit an iron wall, and they stopped moving in mid-air one after another, and then fell.
Of course, it was not only the bullets that fell, but also the hearts of Nicole and Statham. It can be said that in an instant, they all sank their hearts to the bottom, and then tasted a feeling of despair as if drowning.
At this time, Statham no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes. Nicole, on the other hand, still cracked the barrel of the gun in a daze, trying to re-stuff the bullets in her pocket so that she could give another shot at the catastrophe.
It could be seen from her trembling movements that she was very scared now. And that pitiful appearance can always make people feel a little compassionate. The Holocaust, however, is clearly an exception. Because for her, he has lost all patience.
Although he didn't want to destroy her, he didn't have the slightest politeness, so he directly waved her hand and sent her whole person flying.
This made the people around him who were afraid of his power and did not dare to act rashly boil again. And to their restlessness, the catastrophe is completely indifferent. He just stared at Statham in front of him, and then sneered at him with an expressionless face.
"You know what? You've disappointed me! ”
