Chapter 131: Changing Geology The Future Question
As a compassionate old man, a truly kind-hearted being, Zhou Yi considers himself to be a contemporary saint-like existence. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he fell deeply into self-blame at this moment.
To save him, for his ability, for the ambition and hatred of some. Is it really that much to pay? And even if it is a price, why let these innocent people suffer the ultimate damage?
It was a question he had pondered, but as before, he still couldn't get the right answer. He could only blame himself for all this, which made the guilt a little heavier. Maybe it will make him feel better.
"You can only blame you for having great power, but you can't deter the evil thoughts and greed in people's hearts, and you can't suppress people's hatred and malice. Charles, you are wrong, all the time. You've never just watched mutants get hurt and tried to heal their wounds. But it never occurred to them how eager they were to get revenge, nor how much pain their revenge would cause. ”
Seeing Charles's pain, Zhou Yi spoke calmly. He has seen so much about hatred. It is a timeless theme that runs through almost all of life. And the destruction it brings is enough to bring down a behemoth, as is the case with vampires, and the same goes for mutants.
"Charles, you have to make a change. Otherwise, all the price paid this time is meaningless. If there can be one Stryker, why can't there be a second. As long as you don't change, these people will keep coming! ”
Zhou Yi's words made Charles fall into thought, and before he could think about it, the sirens sounding in the lakeside town interrupted his train of thought. The townspeople have spotted the rushing floods, and they have sounded the alarm to warn all the townspeople. But beyond that, they don't have anything to stop it.
Both the National Guard and the local firefighters were too powerless in the face of this sudden natural disaster. The townspeople began to flee and took refuge in their houses, hoping that they would survive the floods.
But in fact, they themselves know very well that this is just an unrealistic fantasy. The wooden houses in the town could not withstand such floods. They are just soothing themselves.
Someone began to pray, either to the vanity of God or to the true heroes. God will not respond to them, of course, but heroes will.
Hearing some people's prayers, Zhou Yi first took Charles and Qin to the top of the church in the town, where they were placed. Then he rushed towards the flood with all his might.
His figure pulled out layers of qi waves in the sky, as if thousands of troops were charging. Such a scene naturally attracts the attention of those who are still on the run. They stared at the black knight in the middle, making different sounds.
Some people who don't know this hero yet, are asking questions to the people around them, they want to know who this guy is, whether he is a human or a monster. And those who knew him cheered at this time, a superhero who could save Paris in a near-devastating attack must be able to save them in such a natural disaster. This may just be their wishful thinking, but at this time, even if it is a life-saving straw, they will desperately hold on.
Zhou Yi naturally didn't know what these humans thought, and to his extent, he didn't care what these people thought. Saving lives has become a part of his nature and duty, and it has long been no longer a hobby.
The value of life is so high that it is no longer suitable to perfunctory him with such a thing as interest.
The strong gravitational force turned into an indestructible drill bit, leading the surging waves of air to tear through the flood defense line in an instant, under the dual effect of extreme speed and powerful ability. The momentum of the flood was contained in an instant.
As if they had been put on a rein, they could no longer rush forward. Even, an even more peculiar sight appeared in front of everyone.
The surging flood began to flow backwards. Under the influence of the wave of qi from the impact of the black figure, the endless stream of water flowed backwards towards the place where he had rushed through. There are countless giant trees and mud flows floating in the water, meandering forward like a yellow python, the sound is terrifying, and it is magnificent.
However, no matter how terrifying the momentum at this moment is, it is only a momentary prestige. No matter how great Zhou Yi's power is, it is impossible to reverse the laws of nature, and the flood cannot flow backwards forever, it will inevitably return to normality.
Yes, even for a moment, it is enough. Because the destruction of the levee will give the flood a chance to escape, so if you want to tame this beast, you only need to rebuild another cage. This is Zhou Yi's plan.
The force field began to distort and spread out at high speed. The highly condensed force field even affected the movement of the current, causing it to twist once again into a maelstrom capable of tearing everything apart. The whirlpool of the water scraped the soaked earth, crushed the layers of rock, and drilled deep into the depths of the earth, into the middle of the mountains.
The supple water was unimaginably destructive when it was hard, the earth rumbled in the impact of the flood, and as the gravitational force field sank, the water even tore through the rocky mountains and reshaped a river valley in the place.
Geology has changed dramatically because of the power of one person. He tamed the floods, parted the mountains, and sank the earth.
People watched in amazement as the flood water disappeared completely, and they were trapped in the newly opened valley, with only the stream-like water still flowing through the streets. Tell people what they just wreaked havoc.
A terrible crisis has been rendered invisible at the hands of the so-called superhero, who has defeated the horrific natural disasters and even changed the world they inhabit.
Many people no longer care about the muddy water under their feet, and directly kneel on the ground reverently. Some of them may believe in God, but at this moment they only believe in the gods in front of them. A deity who lives in reality, far more real than God.
And those who know about the existence of Dawn Knight become even more excited, superheroes are already extremely popular in this world, and fans and the like are definitely no less than the so-called stars. After all, celebrities rely on false heroic behaviors to gain recognition, while superheroes' behaviors are undoubtedly real. Naturally, they have an even larger following.
The supporters of the Knights of Dawn cheered loudly, chanting the names of the Knights of Dawn, not caring that they had just experienced the threat of a natural disaster, and the atmosphere was as high as an important holiday.
For a moment, the same sound echoed throughout the town and even in the mountains. The voice naturally reached Professor Charles's ears, and as a master of the mind, he heard not only the cheers, but also those voices that came from within. This almost fanatical emotion made him fall into deep thought.
In all fairness, isn't he doing much for the world? In fact, he also made great contributions to mankind when he was young, and even prevented the outbreak of a nuclear war between two giants for a time. If it weren't for him, this world would have been a post-apocalyptic world where radiation spreads and humanity survives.
But there are very few people who know him, let alone those who cheer for him. It's not just him, all mutants don't have this kind of treatment, if superheroes like Zhou Yi are celebrities and aristocrats who enjoy the life of the top, they are simply garbage worse than beggars and homeless people.
If it is said that the difference in treatment is caused by the difference in ability, perhaps he has no other thoughts. But their abilities are not bad, even if they are not as good as this almost god-like superhero, but their huge base can completely erase the gap between them, and compared with Zhou Yi, who is alone, they have an advantage.
However, reality does not agree with their existence. The Knights of Dawn can enjoy the cheers of humans in the sun, but they mutants are struggling to move under the dictates of humans.
Jealousy inevitably appeared in Charles's heart. Although he quickly eliminated this negative emotion, he still had some regrets in his heart. He regretted the so-called future of mutants, something that seemed to him to have not yet seen the light of day.
He felt as if he had to make a choice, but he didn't have the courage to make it. The contradictions between mutants and the misunderstanding between them and humans have long been very deep. Because of these misunderstandings, they have already bred countless hatreds.
One wrong choice can lead to the most terrible consequences. In Jason's case, he made such a mistake, he regarded Jason as the beginning of a rapprochement with humans, but he did not expect to almost cause the destruction of mutants.
As the leader of the mutants, he did not dare and could not make any decisions at will.
At this time, Zhou Yi, who had solved everything, had already returned to their side. He glanced at Charles, who was still smiling wryly, and asked flatly.
"Can't you make up your mind, Charles?"
"I can't do that, I can't risk the kids to do those dangerous things. Zhou Yi, many of them are children, why can't they be allowed to live in peace like ordinary people? Charles replied bitterly, as wise as he naturally understood what Zhou Yi meant. But some decisions are not easy to make.
"That's just your idea, not theirs. Isn't it, you just want them to live the life of ordinary people, but you don't think about what they really think. You can't stop them from making any choices, even if you're their teacher, as if everything you've done to another being in Jean's body is actually wishful thinking on your part. Isn't it? ”
"Jean is different, the personality in her heart is very dangerous." Charles tried to defend something, but was rudely interrupted.
"I'm dangerous too! Charles, your heart has been bound by timidity and countless scruples. I admit that you are a person of integrity and kindness, but this kindness does not help them in any way. The world is always moving forward, Charles. What stands still is to be crushed by the tide of progress. ”
