Chapter 2216 Life is full of joys and sorrows
Something is not normal, even very abnormal.
Because if you look carefully, you will find that this hospital, which usually cannot be said to be a good business at all, is actually overcrowded at the moment. And if you look closely, you can see that most of the patients here are people you know.
They are either hospital doctors, hospital nurses, company employees, or higher-level executives. It could almost be said that the entire Los Angeles Nano Neuron branch is here, and judging by their performance, what happened to them can hardly be called optimistic.
Some people are covered in bruises, and their hearts are tenacious and grinning to endure the pain in their bodies, while the weaker ones are crying and wailing loudly to vent. These are relatively good situations, because at the very least, nothing major has happened to them or around them. And some people are different. For example, Old Jack of the Security Department.
Old Jack was a veteran of the Vietnam War, missing an eye and an arm. Originally, people like him could enjoy very generous state subsidies. However, this is only a theoretical statement, in fact, his state subsidies are low, so low that he can only make ends meet.
And more seriously, he developed very severe cataracts in later days. This caused him to lose almost all of his vision. At the same time, it also made his life completely fall to a low point.
An old man with no money is not only physically disabled, but also blind. Life can already be said to be a nightmare for him. And when the state abandoned him and completely cut off his meager subsidies after a series of policies, it became even more difficult for him to survive.
Because what you have to face is not only the hardships of life, but also the torture of your own soul. The feeling that you can't do anything and can only be a waste is enough to make an ordinary person lose the courage to live. And as a person with considerable self-esteem, Old Jack actually didn't want to live in such humiliation.
More than once he wanted to end his life, more than once he got so drunk that he yelled that it was better to die in the jungles of Vietnam. And time and time again, he survived. Not because he was too timid to seek death, but because a woman had been supporting him and giving him the courage and hope to live.
Old Jack's wife, an ordinary, but absolutely worthy of everyone's respect. Her existence is that Old Jack has survived, sustained until now, and found the reason for a new beginning in life in nanoneurons.
Think about it, a woman who almost cut off contact with her husband after she got married, waited for years only to get back a cripple. What a blow it was. And Old Jack's wife, Perry, did not collapse because of this blow. She never complained about anything, and she never had the idea of divorce. She just single-mindedly accompanies her former lover, her current husband, even if he is already a cripple.
They had no children, and Perry was fully committed to her husband. They spent more than forty years with respect, until Old Jack reached the worst and most desperate moment of his life, and Perry was always by his side. Whether he is rich or poor, whether he is disabled or sick. Even if she couldn't even open the pot for tomorrow, the old woman smiled and gave her last piece of bread to her husband.
There are not many ordinary people who can do this, and there are very few who can persist for more than 40 years. For this alone, Mrs. Perry earned the respect of all who knew about their family. And she is far more respectable than this, her most respectable thing is her loyalty to her own love.
Old Jack was a man who had committed suicide when he had put a gun to his head. And in order to get him to give up the idea of suicide, Perry made a move that bordered on madness. She put a knife to her neck and slammed a gap.
Although Old Jack is blind, as a man who has come over in the war, he is still very sensitive to the smell of blood. And when he yelled at Perry about what was going on, Perry just smiled at him and said the same thing.
"Been a husband and wife for life. If you don't want to live, then I'll die with you! ”
Just such a sentence made Old Jack, a man who had never shed a single tear covered in blood in the war, cry like a child in an instant. It was this sentence that made Old Jack no longer dare to think about suicide, but accompanied Perry and tried his best to live.
This is the story of Old Jack and Perry. The front of the story is almost entirely tragic, and the end of the story is a happy ending. Old Jack meets Neuron, Inc., and Havoc has operated on him with his own hands, giving him new eyes and new arms. After more than 40 years of being crippled, he finally saw the light again, and finally had his lost hand again. This is undoubtedly blissful. And when Neuron offered him a job as a security consultant, the old man's voice was definitely bitter.
It can be said that everyone in Neuron, including Havoc and Natasha, has blessed the old couple who have gone through countless calamities. They all hope that the old couple can live happily for the rest of their lives, and they all hope that they can snuggle up to each other and go to the end of their lives together. And now, that expectation and blessing has been shattered. Because the catastrophe has seen the extremely sad old Jack, and the Lady Perry in his arms, who is covered in blood but does not move.
What is the cruelest thing in the world. If you let the Havoc take it, it's to put something incredibly beautiful in front of you, and then smash it to pieces in the most ruthless and direct way.
The love between Old Jack and Mrs. Perry, especially Mrs. Perry's loyalty that would not hesitate to die or betray was definitely the most dazzling and beautiful thing that Havoc saw in human beings. It is precisely with such things that support that human beings, creatures who have made countless mistakes, can barely be called ugly.
And now, such a thing has been destroyed. This made the catastrophe, which was already full of anger in his heart, immediately can't help but breed the deepest desire for destruction.
In a way, he is the kind of being who kills countless lives. Whether it is in his universe or in this universe, he has already destroyed countless creatures and civilizations. Therefore, he certainly cannot be considered a good person. But this does not prevent him from recognizing and appreciating beautiful things.
Unlike Thanos, who can destroy countless living beings just for the sake of desire, the same is destruction, but Havoc has always maintained the most beautiful and innocent thing in his heart. That's how I felt when I was a human being. This was true in the past, and it is still so. It may sound ridiculous, but he does protect this special thing as if it were his own treasure.
Not only to protect yourself, but also to protect your own eyes. The story of Old Jack and Perry became a tragedy. And this tragedy has also become a needle in his heart, a pain. He inevitably hated the man who did such a thing. And this hatred also made him can't wait to do something.
Destruction, only destruction. Only those vile and cruel reptiles were destroyed. His heart can feel better. And only by completely eliminating them can he give Natasha and Old Jack an explanation. He had already made up his mind with such a determination in his heart. And his movements became non-stop.
Although he didn't show his peculiarity in front of these ordinary people, his gloomy expression and that kind of intimidating momentum also made many people who wanted to say something to him honestly shut up.
And in such an eerie atmosphere, the catastrophe brought Natasha into his dedicated operating room, and then very quickly, he walked out of it.
Natasha's problem is not serious, and a little treatment will stabilize her condition. Compared to most people here, she was clearly lucky. That's good news, at least compared to Mrs. Perry.
And seeing that the catastrophe came out like this, Liu Fei, a Chinese doctor in internal medicine, hurriedly walked up.
"Boss Reinhardt, sister-in-law is okay?"
He seemed very concerned, and apparently he had noticed Natasha's bloody appearance just now. In the face of his concern, Havoc's face was a little pale, but his heart was still a mess. He didn't mean to be angry with Liu Fei, so he just nodded and replied to him.
"It's all right. What the hell is going on here, and why are you ...... Also, how is Old Jack doing? ”
"I don't know!" Shaking his head, the young doctor of internal medicine immediately said with a sad face. "I was on duty today and I thought nothing was going to happen. But from the afternoon until now, basically everyone in our company has come. As you can see, they were all injured a lot. Some people we can save, and some people are simply too late. Even if it's too late for you...... That's how Aunt Perry is, we didn't even have time to let her in the operating room......"
At the end, the young man sighed. As a doctor, you have to get used to life and death. But he's clearly not there yet. And the death of Mrs. Perry was too big a blow for him. So big that he was a little confused.
"Boss, aren't we too useless. Why can't we do anything at this time, aren't we doctors? ”
"Doctors are not omnipotent!" There was silence for a moment, and the Catastrophe admonished Reinhardt as such. And with that, he began to walk outside.
He's going to do something. Something has to be done! With this thought in his heart, he began to speed up his pace. But it was at this time that a gunshot rang out suddenly!
