Chapter 95 Responsibility
Clark felt the scent of light grass and a cold breeze caressing his cheeks, and he opened his eyes to find that he was lying on the green ground, so he got up in confusion and looked around.
Strangely enough, he felt no life in this world, not even the green grass beneath his feet seemed to be fake, the thick clouds obscured the sun, rendering the familiar field a dark tone, and a new house stood alone there, the door tightly closed.
"This is my home......"
Clark murmured.
At this time, the row of clean and fresh soapy clothes was blowing, as if the wind was specially raised for someone.
"Carl, do I call you by that name, or do you like people to call you Clark?"
The figure of General Zod appeared in Clark's field of vision, with the dim sky on his back, like a yellowed old photograph.
With his words, the sky changed again, and the thick white clouds that had been dim were dyed black, and the thick and indissolable ones hung like ink on the distant mountain tops.
"I used to be the military commander of Krypton, and your father is a respected scientist of Krypton," Zod's voice was soft, the iron and blood qi on his body was hidden in his body, his face showed a nostalgic smile, the white color of his sideburns and his somewhat clumsy figure were like an ordinary old man. He glanced at Clark, paced calmly and slowly, and continued, "It's strange, Krypton Technology has given us a position worth dedicating our lives to, and the only thing your father and I have in common is that Krypton is dying, and I am trying to protect our civilization. ”
Zod let out a long sigh, his eyes with a hint of incomprehension and resentment, "However, you get the result of banishing the phantom space, you won't like that still place, it will drive a whole person crazy, the explosion of Krypton will save us, but we see Krypton turn into dust, just like this, a 'bang' ......"
Clark returned to the moment when Krypton was broken, and he saw the young General Zod, with a noble temperament, Fiora sitting on the cold spaceship crying, instead of seeing it now, although Fiora's temperament has not changed, but in it, there is more hatred and madness.
"We're adrift...... Zod said, and the blunt words of the human in the main cabin popped up in his mind.
"Like a lost dog, destined to drift in the wreckage of Krypton until starvation, and then we transformed the Phantom Space fixed spaceship into a faster-than-light vehicle, jumped the cosmic node, and finally came here, and your father used this method to send you to Earth at that time."
"There is nothing more shameful than the cage that holds us captive and carries the last hope."
"And then?" Clark asked.
"Later," General Zod showed a rare hint of sadness, "Later, we searched all the outposts of the old colonies, looking for signs of life, and all we saw was death, after the explosion of Krypton, the outpost had long been abandoned, and our enemies could only be men with their tails between their legs before Krypton exploded, and now, it was our turn." ”
Zod said coldly, a trace of blood appeared in his eyes, "Your power comes from the sun, but in this spaceship that simulates the ecology of Krypton, you are no different from ordinary people, in the extreme north of this planet, someone touched the alarm on an ancient Krypton exploration spacecraft, with this weak signal, with the earth as a large satellite launcher, we have come here." ”
"Carl! You brought us here! ”
Clarke's eyes flashed pale after hearing this, and Zodd walked up to Clark and said: "Now, you have the ability to save your race, all the unborn children on Krypton, their genes are encoded in the Code of Life, now, give it to me, so that Krypton can be reborn!" ”
"Reborn ??!" Clark muttered these two words, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of shock and incomprehension, and asked, "How to be reborn?!" ”
General Zod's face turned cold, he didn't answer Clark's words, he glanced at the sky in the distance, where a flash of brilliance, a device with three brackets, black like some kind of biological claw, suddenly fell not far away, three or four hundred meters high, and then, he saw the scene of destruction.
In an instant, billowing dust was raised, and the black wind carried metal-like sand particles directly into the vast grassland! Then everything around him dissipated with the wind, and Clark only felt a wave of fear enveloping his heart, and the furious sand rushed unstoppably towards him, and he subconsciously blocked the storm of destruction.
Everywhere there was the bitter sound of the wind, the sound of the sand crackling, and under the sound of death that enveloped the world, there was a sound of inquiry from the other side.
"Karl, where's the Code of Life?!"
When the wind and sand are over, the world has long been unrecognizable, the air is full of floating particles, and the vision seems to be covered by dust, Clark slowly calmed down, stared at Zod's eyes and asked:
"I'll give it to you, but you have to tell me what will happen to Earth if Krypton is reborn?"
"The reconstruction of Krypton must be based on a living planet."
Clarke's body trembled, he thought that his compatriots only needed the Code of Life, but he didn't expect that even this planet would be labeled as executing, and when he scanned the surroundings again, the mountain of skeletons had already sunk into his waist, and the terrifying power of the Iron Body was completely useless at this time, and he could only watch himself being swallowed by the countless skulls...... Engulf......
"Isn't there any other way?!! Clark screamed desperately.
"The meaning of choice is that when you choose one, it means giving up the other."
Clark froze in place, his face pale, and then let the skulls of six billion humans devour him, the cries of countless lonely souls seemed to sound in his ears, and his mind resounded with the words of his father, and his heart was filled with remorse.
"Krypton's evolution is a failure, don't let the earth follow our old path......" Joe's figure suddenly appeared beside him, looking at him kindly.
"Wherever you come from, you're going to change the world......" Jonathan said with a smile as he appeared in front of him.
"Don't go down the old ......"
"Don't leak your power......"
The two figures were talking to themselves, Clark didn't know who to listen to for a while, he rose a little confused and helpless, he originally thought that he could bravely walk out of the shadows by knowing his life experience in the North Pole, but now he found that this was just a bigger shadow.
On one side is his last compatriots, which will mean that he will twist their heads with his own hands, and on the other hand, his adoptive mother, his friend, where he grew up, that will mean destruction.
"Kryptonian ......"
"Human ......"
Among them, a man in a black coat walked up, his face was delicate, his face was calm, and his black and white eyes were staring at him, Clark asked hesitantly: "Seal the dust, what should I do......"
The figure of Feng Dust leaned down, he sat on the piles of corpses like a sea of bones and bones, looking forward to the blazing planet opposite, this was the second before the destruction of Krypton, the entire planet was covered by a sea of fire, he turned his head to look at Clark and said calmly:
"I used to be like you, until I cut out my own heart with my own hands, and when I knew the word choice, there was no choice, I could not teach a man to kill his own people, but I also could not teach a man to be at a loss, from now on, I have nothing to teach."
At the same time, a smile appeared on Feng Chen's face in the cage.
In the first lesson, in school, I taught him how to face others and face daily life.
In the second lesson, I taught him how to face himself, face himself, and take it as his heart.
The last lesson, responsibility.
Clark is kind after all, this is his choice all along, Feng Chen sees it very clearly, he only needs to point to the end, but Clark doesn't know it.
The requirement of existence is also a side reminder to oneself, three shots, it is better not to make a move if you can, but people are complex creatures, if all of the above are out of task, then now, sealing the dust is out of the responsibility of a true mentor.
"Clark, if you choose to run away, I will shoot to wipe them out, sometimes, it's not shameful to run away."
"Remember, you only live once, and no matter where you go on the evolutionary path, you must respect it......"
Then all this turned into green smoke and drifted away, and a glimmer of realization rose in Clark's heart, he looked at the vast and cracked world, sniffed the smell of destruction, and then looked at General Zod standing in front, shook his head firmly and said:
"Zod, do you know what the true Code of Life is?"
Zod didn't know why Clark in the dream asked like this, he shook his head, and just repeated, "Give me the Code of Life!" ”
Clarke's eyes were clear, and he could feel the heart beating strongly, a familiar smell enveloping his body, and the dream world collapsed.
"Life cannot be written in rules, and I cannot give you the Code of Life."
"Krypton's approach is perfect!! Joe is so stubborn, now even his son is so stubborn!! Zod shouted angrily.
"Joe doesn't want me to follow your old path, it's hope, Jonathan doesn't want me to leak my strength, it's protection, Dust that guy is like an old man, but he shows me the way when I'm in the dark, they all want me to grow, a real body of steel. General Zod, as a fellow Kryptonian, actually we want the same. ”
"If you want the same, why don't you give me the Code of Life!!"
"Hopefully the same, but definitely different."
At the same time, in the main cabin, the closed hatch suddenly shrank, as if someone was kneading the hatch in the main cabin, with a sound of steel, the hatch was burst open, and a murderous black figure walked out of it, Zod's face was full of coldness, and his body was filled with iron and blood, and he said cruelly to Fiora, who was always on standby:
"Obliterate our stubborn compatriot, Joe's son, Karl El, and take the Code of Life from his flesh and blood!!"
