Chapter 90: Sisyphus
Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union deteriorated sharply.
His Excellency the President has signed an official declaration imposing a total embargo against Cuba. In response, Russia proposed that such a move would be the trigger for a thermonuclear war, but nothing happened overnight, and the distrust and extreme confrontation between the two camps led to today's results and gave a lunatic like Xiao an opportunity.
Both camps are sick.
But they don't look for problems from themselves, but keep looking for problems from each other, which will only get sicker and sicker, and unfortunately in the continuous countdown of the doomsday clock, it seems that there is no longer a gap for human civilization to save itself.
Mr. President of the United States of America addressed the nation at this tense time.
The smile of the big American boy on the black-and-white TV is so solemn that even any fool can understand the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, the panic has sparked a worldwide rush to buy supplies.
Rich people sit back and relax.
Under the oppression of fear and insecurity, the poor people did some hysterical things, such as buying zero yuan, or opening some indescribable party on the street, but fortunately, these were suppressed under strict repression, and the general atmosphere of society did not plummet.
γβ¦β¦ The peculiarities of these new missile bases indicate that there are two different types of installations. Some of these missiles include medium-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads over a distance of more than 1000 nautical miles. In short, each of these missiles is capable of striking Washington, D.C., the Panama Canal, Cape Canaveral, Mexico City, or any other city in the southeastern United States, Central America, or the Caribbean......
Eric listened to Mr. President's speech, then turned to look at Moyinla.
"Does this work?"
Obviously, His Excellency the President's message is tough and resolute, and Mrs. Kestry's nuclear warheads will never be allowed in the critical positions of the Latin American backyard.
This cause and effect is too troublesome to be repeated in one or two sentences.
"People want a strong president, not a weak one." Mo Yinla argued slightly.
After the Battle of New York State, she became the best communication between the government and the X-Men, and she also had a little spark with Charles personally.
But Magneto will always look for the thorn of this ordinary person.
"If the statement is useful, there is no need for a nuclear bomb." Hank, an honest big boy, rarely said a word of truth.
Compared to other people's indifference or excitement.
What he shows is more of an imperceptible sadness, Hank grew up listening to the stories of the human heroes of World War II, and he never dreamed that one day, he would see such a scene.
For those who are naΓ―ve and hot-blooded, this is absolutely subversive ugliness.
"Xiao and Li Lin are both there."
Professor X, who was holding his chin, suddenly spoke, and his determination made everyone else turn their heads to look at him.
"You caught them?"
Alex leaned back on the couch in the corner, asking curiously.
"No, but I can guess. The confrontation between the two superpowers is the situation that Xiao has led out, and he will not let the confrontation end simply. As for Li Lin......" Although Charles didn't want to admit it, with Li Lin's character, he would be there 100%. γβ¦β¦ He's a guy who changes with his circumstances, and now it's time for him to get someone else's wish when it's going to get worse." β¦.
"That's the end of diplomacy."
Eric interrupted his friend.
"Let's get ready tonight and set out early tomorrow morning to stop Shaw. If you don't want to participate, just quit, we don't have a good chance, and there is a good chance that people will die."
"You can't survive if you stay here."
The Demon Girl stabbed back, this is a nuclear war, and they are not illiterate, so they don't know what the consequences of a nuclear war will be. When the time comes, who in the world will be immune?
Unspeakable disgust.
Most of the psykers present felt that their spirituality as human beings had been tainted
The self-destructive nature of their fellow race has plunged them into a kind of chaos. Whether it is caused by the erosion of chaos, or whether human beings are so unbearable, the question is destined to be unanswered.
Or even if there is, it will not be recognized.
Professor X's heart also flashed with a hint of sadness, once he wanted to redeem Li Lin, but now he found that this dream was out of reach. Because Li Lin is actually human beings themselves, after understanding this, they will find that it is really too difficult for human beings to redeem themselves.
Otherwise, how did so many faiths and gods come from all over the world?
Li Lin is really a tragedy.
Charles recalled the cold expression on Li Lin's face at noon, he had always known, and he had been longing for the possibility that was not expected.
All sentient beings hope to be redeemed.

"Does omniscient and omnipotent get bored? I've always wondered, like now, you know the smell of barbecue and beer, is it interesting to enjoy it again?"
In the capital of Cuba, inside a barbecue bar.
Logan was blowing a bottle of beer, and asked curiously about Li Lin, who was carefully rubbing oil and sprinkling spices and flipping the pork belly, and it could be seen that this question had been bothering him for a long time, and it happened that now that he had rare time, he asked directly.
Because a nuclear war is coming.
The entire Cuban capital was under martial law, and the barbecue bar became a private dining room for the two, and Li Lin was able to show off his skills.
In terms of barbecue, although he is not as good as Li Mei, he still has two brushes.
"Have you heard of Sisyphus? Logan." Li Lin carefully brushed the dipping sauce to ensure that the pork belly was grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, the oil flowers were bubbling outward, and finally it was golden brown with a great appetite.
γβ¦β¦γ
This obviously poked Rogan in the sore spot.
As an undead lone wolf, this unruly psionic has one attitude towards learning: Learning? the fart. After all, his immortality is the best way to learn, and as long as he dies a lot in battle, he will adapt to it.
"Sisyphus was a poor man in Greek mythology who was punished for angering the gods, and he had to push a boulder to the top of the mountain, but when he reached the top, the boulder would roll down. This is a never-ending punishment from which there will never be deliverance." Li Lin told a story that made people restless.
"Damn story time, let me guess, are you trying to say that it's fun to push that damn stone, or find meaning in life?"
"No, Logan, I just wanted to tell you. I'm Sisyphus, and I don't find what I'm doing interesting, or that you, or anything in the world, I'm just accepting it."
"It sounds like a ball of shit." Logan took a sip of his beer in displeasure.
"So, this pork belly, which I already know the taste, is meaningless."
Li Lin handed the grilled pork belly to Wolverine, and his meaningful words made Wolverine smile.
"Respect, there is no point in *** world, life and me."
"Respect, human."
