Chapter 1003 Breaking the Halberd and Sinking in the Sand, Unexpected Changes
At this time, the little spider is the only one who screams so loudly.
When he saw Bruce unharmed, he immediately screamed with excitement. And behind him, General Ross, who had a gloomy expression, also showed a rare soothing look on his face after seeing Bruce's figure.
"Alive? Looks like you're in luck. I thought I could only get you out of the bellies of those monsters! β
His words may not have sounded good, but Bruce could still discern some rare kindness in his words. This made a slight smile tug at his stiff face. Soon, though, that look darkened.
"Thank you. But there's nothing to celebrate. We are still alive, but there are already thousands of dead people in this land, uncountable. We should have stopped this, but we didn't. After all, this human tragedy still appeared in front of our eyes, and it was our fault. β
"Bruce, don't blame yourself too much. You see, it's so dangerous here. Even if we do our best, we won't be able to stop this. Therefore, if we can do this level, we can also be regarded as having an explanation for ourselves. β
He patted Bruce on the shoulder, and the little spider comforted him like this. However, after hearing this, the look on Bruce's face not only did not soothe, but became more painful.
"Again, it turned out to be like this. It's like that time in New York. We tried our best, but we couldn't do anything. All the efforts are like the futile struggle of a child, and nothing can be changed at all. Is this what we call a superhero's responsibility? That's the kind of superhero that we shout about all day long. I've had enough, I've really had enough! β
Bruce, who fell to his knees, whispered as he rebuked his mission, resenting his own arrogance and incompetence. In the face of the bloody reality, he could no longer stick to his original intention. He already had the intention of quitting in his heart.
And in the face of such a blue, General Ross immediately had anger on his face. Without saying a word, he punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground. Then he grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
"You guy! Do you know what the hell you're talking about? You are denying our efforts, denying our efforts. You're erasing all the exploits of the heroes who have traded their lives and blood for the hope of other people's survival. What qualifications do you have to say that, and what qualifications do you have to do it? Ahh β
General Rose's voice was full of anger, and he questioned Bruce for his own reasons.
He thought of the dutiful mayor and of his men who had lost their lives trying to rescue innocent civilians. In this matter, they can completely leave these civilians behind and find a way to survive for themselves. But they didn't do that. Instead, more chances of survival are left to those young children and ordinary families. With his own life, he opened a door of hope for them.
Such a person is undoubtedly a person worthy of respect. And if you follow Bruce. If Banner was right, all their efforts would be in vain. And this is precisely what General Ross could not accept.
For a time, General Ross could be said to be furious. And Banner also showed a-for-tat appearance without giving way. That kind of tense and opinionated situation made the little spider, who was a third party, immediately show a difficult look on his face.
He and Bruce are comrades-in-arms who have walked side by side all the way, so according to this kind of situation, he should be on Bruce's side at this time. However, for the current result, he is more on the side of General Ross.
Only by participating in it will we know how many people have paid a huge price to save those tens of thousands of children. These people, who have paid a huge price and even their lives, are heroes. And if he wants to deny the efforts of these heroes, he really can't do it.
So he could only stand awkwardly awkwardly, quite a little careless, but it was difficult to complete the meaning. Soon, however, the clever little spider came up with a way to divert the attention of these two people. So he immediately inserted himself between the two of them and said to them with a straight face.
"Enough, does it make sense to argue about this now? Instead of wasting time on such pointless quarrels, think about how to clean up the mess at hand. β
Seeing that the eyes of the two people shifted to their own body like this, the little spider immediately revealed his thoughts.
"Don't forget, there are survivors in this country. They may still be struggling on the brink of life and death right now. With this time to waste here, it is better to act quickly and save them from the dangers that still exist! Don't forget, that's what we're all about. β
That's right, isn't the purpose of their coming here to save people? Compared to this purpose, it is really not worth it to consider Bruce's disgusting gesture. Thinking of this, General Ross immediately put aside Bruce and strode in the direction of the nearest city.
"Peter is right, wasting time with you here is simply sorry for the victims? If you want to feel sorry for yourself here alone, just do whatever you want. I'm still going to save people, there's no time to waste here with you! β
General Ross acted crisply and neatly, and soon, he disappeared from Bruce's sight. And looking at General Ross who walked away like this, the little spider thought about it slightly, and said to Bruce.
"Man, I know you're uncomfortable, but this is not the time to talk about this. I'm going to help General Ross. Follow along, if you will. If that doesn't work, find a way to get out of here yourself. β
After saying this, he waved his hand directly, and then chased after General Ross as fast as he could. And watching the two men leave him one after the other, Bruce clenched his fists, revealing an impulsive look several times. But in the end, he lowered his head in despair and fell directly to his knees.
Bruce wasn't essentially a fighter. He was just a scientist, a scholar with a touch of personal fantasies. He did not have the spirit of fighting in a desperate situation, let alone the courage and determination to fight to the end. When setbacks come again and again. When death and destruction repeatedly oppressed his will and heart. It is normal for him to choose to give up and lose his fighting spirit.
With great power comes great responsibility. But can you take this responsibility, do you have the courage to take this responsibility? Again, this is a two-word thing. And in this kind of matter, General Ross, who is a soldier himself, is obviously much more reliable than a scholar.
Although a military man is a profession that serves the war. But there is also an element of saving others in their duties. Coupled with the tenacity of the military itself, they are the ones who can best persevere in this situation.
Just like now, General Ross quickly put his previous unhappiness behind him and began to devote himself to the new round of rescue work.
But when he started working again, he found that things had changed completely differently from what he had imagined.
He vividly remembered when a magical golden light suddenly appeared in this land, destroying most of the monsters. The British, who survived, were given a respite, but they were not completely out of danger.
Because there are still monsters still in this land, and as long as they are here, these people can never be said to be safe. It's like meeting up with the spider and finding Bruce. Before Banner, he had already fought against many monsters, and rescued quite a few surviving refugees.
And although he saved a lot of people, he knew very well in his heart that this was just a drop in the bucket. This land is so big, and there are so many evil monsters, it is not a problem that the two of them can solve at all. All they can do in this kind of thing is to do their best and obey the destiny of heaven. It's just one that can be saved.
Even now, he who was encouraged by the little spider to start the journey of saving people again did not have the naΓ―ve idea of wanting to save everyone. Although saving people is the main purpose, he does not want to get rid of Bruce in his thoughts. Banner is an eyesore who doesn't see what he means.
But now, what happened in front of him was greatly beyond his expectations, and he fell into an inexplicable shock again.
He saw corpses, countless corpses. Not human, but monsters who do evil. From the moment you enter the city, almost every few steps, you can see the corpses of one or two hideous or huge monsters lying in the ruins. The death was horrible as if he had been hammered alive by some giant with his fist. Either it was smashed into a pulp, or a few key components were missing. There are no exceptions at all, almost all of them die like this. In this situation, General Ross couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and then turned his gaze to the little spider who was rushing behind him.
"What the hell is going on? Is it reinforcements coming? β
"Impossible." The little spider was also frightened by the sight in front of him. However, after hearing General Ross's question, he shook his head decisively.
It's not that he looks down on the strength of governments. But when facing these supernatural monsters, these ordinary people really have no way to do it. It can be said that these people are already the top means of dealing with these supernatural forces. They can't even do this kind of thing, let alone anything else?
Thinking about it, there is only one possibility for this kind of thing, and this possibility makes these two people frown deeply.
"Is there a new force involved?"
