Walking through the portal located in the base of the Multiverse Spider Legion, the next second, Peter found himself in another small space, which was obviously also a cosmic space, but it was not as bright and wide as the newly built Spider Legion base.

"Is this a space station?" Peter asked, looking up and down the neighborhood and seeing that there was no sense of futuristic technology at all, instead, there were exposed pipelines everywhere that even looked like technology had gone backwards.

"It's a small space station over New York's Sky Island, and it's the only one I've ever had." Spider-Man 2099 explained, and he led Peter to the living room of the space station.

There is a small window here that just allows you to see the view of the earth.

As soon as Peter walked over, he was stunned by what he saw.

Outside the space station, instead of the blue planet that Peter was familiar with, there was a celestial wreckage that had long since broken into countless fragments.

Although the earth as a whole still maintains a spherical shape, strictly speaking, it should maintain a spherical radial shape, just like when fireworks explode, countless fragments are arranged in different orbits, and it has long lost its original complete and rounded shape.

The edges of each Dong fragment are inlaid with mechanical equipment, which appears to be mechanical equipment used to maintain gravity and orbit, and it is not difficult to see that these equipment have multiple styles and should come from different companies.

Moreover, many fragments are also connected by mechanical equipment, but the mechanical device of the empty island itself is a physical object, and the one used to connect the empty island is more like an energy chain.

The number of energy chains has been so large that it is completely impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, and many of the abandoned parts have not been repaired, and the endless energy chains are like terrible tentacles, constantly waving around the earth, and the whole earth is like a piece of meat that has been cut into pieces, but is connected by iron wires, terrifying, ugly, and terrifying.

And the many small ships flying between the debris are like flies that have seen this piece of carrion. There is no beauty of order that technology brings. There is only a dense density that makes people feel sick.

Peter stood there in astonishment at the sight, and did not say a word for a long time.

Spider-Man 2099 stood beside him, also looking at his hometown through the small window, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't go directly to your universe to find you, because I'm really afraid to see the whole Earth." ”

"From the time I was born, my hometown was like this, until one day, in another universe of the multiverse, I saw the Earth as it should be, these greedy corporations, ruining our beautiful home planet......"

To his surprise, young Peter didn't bother in the negativity for long, he turned to look at Spider-Man 2099 and asked, "You said this is your space station?" ”

"That's right, in this era, space stations are all private property, as long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of mansions, the shareholders of large companies live in such space stations, spacious rooms, beautiful greenhouses, fresh air, they all have"

"And the surface, except for the slums, is the factories built by large corporations, and everything produced in the factories is also for the rich people on the space station, which is why they plot to blow up the earth."

Spider-Man 2099 led Peter all the way in, saying: "In the first few decades of the bombing of the earth, the global production activity was in full swing, and it was believed that all the resources of the earth should be pooled and then distributed equally. ”

"Of course, the plutocratic conspirators did not want to do this, so they set up large corporations, began to monopolize history, culture and technology, and finally, used the scientific and technological means they possessed to directly blow up the earth."

Only they have the ability to build a space station and live on it, while civilians who are not capable of doing so are left on the ruined surface and rely on corporations to survive.

"As a result, the whole earth has become a huge resource extractor, these big companies hold the switch, and the resources are continuously transported to the company's shareholders for enjoyment, and the poor people on the earth do not even have the means to resist, they simply cannot reach the high space station."

"However, people did not give up, and under the oppressive rule of the company, a group of free people were born who wanted to turn the situation around, and I was one of them."

From the words of Spider-Man 2099, Peter keenly discerns certain key points, so he asks, "Why was the Free Man born?" Shouldn't all the ruled civilians unite to resist? ”

Spider-Man 2099 shook his head and said: "You think it all too simply, large companies have robots that can completely replace human beings, that is, they are willing to give civilians a job, which is already benevolent...... In other words, all the civilians who survive now are actually for the pleasure of the rich, their entertainment, not the necessities of survival. ”

"Large companies will implant identity systems for civilians, and the system will upload all the privacy they have to the company's database, and shareholders can pick out the civilians they want to use for fun in the database, and then send a spaceship to take them home."

"That's how my daughter died."

Peter felt his heart sink suddenly, he had already guessed why, Spider-Man 2099's jaw that was exposed when he was drinking just now showed that he was actually very handsome, and his daughter might be very beautiful.

To Spider-Man 2099's surprise, Peter did not insult the company with righteous indignation, but said something that made Spider-Man 2099 feel a little chill down his back. ，

"Space station, what does it fly in the universe?"

"Of course, it's the power system of a big company, but you'd better not hit their minds, even the most powerful hackers can't hack this part of the system......"

Peter didn't say anything, so silent that Spider-Man 2099 couldn't see through him, so he half-jokingly said, "I thought only Shadow Spider-Man would be so taciturn......"

After saying that, he pushed open a door, and behind the door there was a small shuttle, which looked like a fighter jet, but did not have such large wings, but worked on the cosmic thrusters in the rear.

Spider-Man 2099 opened the door and sat inside, Peter immediately sat in the co-pilot's seat, and with the roar of the engine, a small plane flew towards one of the celestial fragments.

Peter was even more surprised by the sight of the place, the ground was not very dilapidated or barren, on the contrary, it was a rather high-tech looking city, and it was very prosperous.

"Before the earth was blown up, we had a fairly high level of technology, and the group of shareholders claimed that they had withdrawn from the city and given up their property in order to paralyze the civilians."

"So, a lot of people live in buildings in the city center, but it's all just a scam, people think they get what they want, but the next second, disaster strikes."

Spider-Man 2099 pressed a button, the shuttle disappeared in place, and he led Peter into an alley, and said: "Ms. Miracle should be in the Nord Building, it is not the territory of the freed, there are company employees, mercenaries, wanderers, we need to trick the identification system into it, and then, we can find her." ”

"Wait a minute." Peter stopped Spider-Man 2099 and said, "It's not me who is looking for the female Loki, but another Loki, and since I have a definite clue, I'm going to call him over now." He's also a god of fraud, and maybe he can help......"

Spider-Man 2099 sighed and said: "If I wasn't in a bad state, I wouldn't need other people's help at all, we are all Spider-Man, don't think that you are the only one who can do scientific research." ”

Peter reached out and patted Spider-Man 2099 on the shoulder, telling him to sit there and rest for a while, before he dialed Loki's comms and explained the situation to him.

Soon, as an orange square portal appeared on the ground, Rogie, who was holding Helen, appeared in front of the two Spider-Mans.

At this time, she was still a female figure, but after seeing Spider-Man 2099's shocked gaze, he turned back into a male Loki.

But soon, Spider-Man 2099's eyes fell on Helen's face, and before Loki could speak, Spider-Man 2099 looked at him again and asked, "Is this your daughter?" ”

Before Loki could answer, Helen shouted first, she raised her hand high and said, "That's right, this is my dad, ah, sometimes my mom"

Spider-Man 2099 just wanted to step forward, but the movement stopped, as if he was afraid of scaring Helen, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't be afraid, little girl, it's just ...... You're a bit like my daughter. ”

As soon as Loki was about to say something, Peter glanced at him, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

"I've heard that you've found a clue to Sylvie, where is she? I hope to find her soon. ”

"She's in the Nord Building, but it's not a thriving commercial center anymore, you can think of it as a big bazaar, a broker's paradise, and if we want to get in, we have to crack the identification system there."

"That's easy to do." Loki snapped his fingers and said, "As long as I can show me who can get in, I naturally have a way to disguise us." ”

"Camouflage doesn't work." Spider-Man 2099 shook his head and said, "The chip of the identification system is implanted in the human body, and it only imitates the appearance, but it cannot deceive the security system." ”

"I didn't plan to just imitate the appearance, I didn't use illusions." Loki shook his head and said, "Let's go first, and soon, you'll know......"

Spider-Man 2099 doesn't seem to approve of Loki's actions, but Peter is on Loki's side, which is their mission, so Spider-Man 2099 leads the two through the alley to an abandoned station.

The means of transportation here made Peter feel a little surprised, because it was somewhat similar to the earth in the universe where he lived, like a shuttle in full swing.

"Are you surprised? In fact, this is nothing amazing, the earth of my universe has also once walked to the sea of stars, but it's a pity that ......" Spider-Man 2099 shook his head and said: "In the end, all the achievements of human civilization belong to large companies, and they have nothing to do with ordinary people......"

The closer he got to the depths of the station, the darker it became, and here Peter saw the traces of countless pedestrians, who once upon a time were as civilized, prosperous, and vibrant as his hometown.

"Development, for whom is it developing?" Peter asked softly, and he muttered in a low voice, "If not everyone can enjoy the fruits of the development of civilization, then what is the point of us doing all this?" ”

Spider-Man 2099 led the way into the darkness, and in the darkness, he glanced back at Peter, with the sadness and helplessness that Peter felt in his eyes.

"Big corporations took everything, including my children, but also many people's children."

"If, like you, I was born in the beginning of the vigorous development of civilization, I would have such doubts like you."

"And after all I've been through, I can only tell you that the answer in my heart is that Spider-Man is always born for ordinary people."

"No matter how high and far others fly, I will always be consistent and defend to the death, the same as me, the interests of ordinary people."
