Chapter 10 Losses
Carl carried the box and came to a small alley, and walked to the manhole cover deep in the alley.
He stretched out his hand to the center of the manhole cover, and the ordinary manhole cover pierced with a mechanical sound, and then slowly opened, revealing a small hole.
Carl didn't know what this hole was for, he just happened to pass by and scanned that there was a small hole of 2*2*2 cubic meters, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, so he simply remodeled it and transformed it into a secret base.
Carl tossed the box in, then jumped down and counted the results.
I paid a lot of money to get these two boxes of black gold, just throwing out all kinds of props, throwing out 20,000 US dollars.
Note that the $20,000 here does not include Carl's labor costs, time costs, and technical costs, but simply material costs.
This does not include Carl's subsequent maintenance and repair of his equipment and upgrades to his suit......
Oh, my God! It hurts to think about it!
"Sure enough, ordinary people have not mutated, and it is unrealistic to rely on technology." Carl complained: "Otherwise, I can only be a villain like me who robs the poor and helps the rich." ”
Carl sighed, counted his gear, and hurried home.
There was no one at home, and it was still dark when Carl came back, Carl breathed a sigh of relief, it took more time today than before, he was really afraid that George would ask questions.
"When will you be back?" — Carl.
"Right now!" — Gwen.
"Later." — George.
Carl skillfully put on the chef's apron, opened the refrigerator and looked at the dishes, ready to make an American-style orange chicken, this thing Carl had never eaten in his life, after all, this is authentic American Chinese food, but it tastes good.
Carl was cooking when he heard the window click and turned his head to see Gwen sneaking in.
"Coming back? Karl's sudden greeting startled Gwen, she looked at Karl, stunned for a moment, and asked, "Carl, what's wrong with your face?" ”
"My face?" Carl touched it and found that the right side of his face was really a little swollen, and after a fight with Matt, his whole body was in pain, and Carl forgot to look at his injuries.
"Don't move!" Gwen looked at Carl seriously, stretched out her hand and touched it, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
Carl looked at her blue eyes, felt his heart beat half a beat slower, and said unnaturally, "It's okay." ”
Gwen looked at Carl's arm and saw that his arm was also covered in scars.
"Carl, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, a little thing." Carl muffled that he hadn't paid attention to the scars on his body, or he would have at least taken care of before going home.
"Carl!" Gwen looked at him angrily, her blue eyes full of distress and anger: "I'm your sister. ”
"It's not a big deal." Carl smiled wryly, "It's just a fight with someone, you know, teenagers like me always have hormonal spikes." ”
"I'm fine, Gwen, look, I made you orange chicken."
Gwen didn't speak, turned around and ran into the room, taking out the home medical kit.
"I'll give you the medicine."
Carl looked at the girl's determined gaze and nodded.
Gwen carefully touched the trauma medicine, and her heart was not happy.
Carl's old words came back to her mind.
"You're always too nice to those strangers, but you ignore the people around you."
Yes, if I wasn't Spider-Man, I might be able to protect Carl today.
Peter wouldn't have ......
"Carl." Gwen suddenly asked, "Am I really bad?" ”
Karl looked at her suspiciously, and Gwen explained, "I mean, am I really the kind of person who treats people around me badly and strangers well?" ”
"Gwen, of course you're not that kind of person." Carl smiled and comforted, reached out and pulled Gwen's toddled blonde hair behind her ear, and said, "I said, Gwen, you're a kind man. ”
"Kindness is unlimited, you can express your kindness to anyone, but people's time is limited, people's energy is limited, and if you use your limited time and energy to help others, then you will naturally ignore the people around you."
"And you don't have to blame yourself." Carl made a joke: "How can a woman intervene in a battle between men, even if you are my sister." ”
Gwen gave him a blank look and asked, "Who hit him?" ”
"Don't ask!" Karl twisted his neck and said, "Anyway, I won in the end." ”
"Okay." Gwen rubbed the medicine and couldn't help but pat Carl's wound, and Carlton inhaled in pain.
Seeing Karl's bared teeth, Gwen couldn't help but laugh: "Be strong, tough guy!" ”
"Who's the tough guy?" George walked in, saw Carl's face, and was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”
"Our tough guy Carl had a battle between men and someone else, and he won it in the end!"
Gwen was sure she was saying this in a mocking tone, but George grinned and said to Carl, "Well done!" ”
Gwen sighed, is there anyone in this world who knows what these men are thinking?
The group had a sweet and sour meal of orange chicken, which was praised by Sheriff George Stacy and hoped to continue eating the dish tomorrow night, but unfortunately met with the opposition of Carl and Gwen, so they had to give up.
Gwen walked into the room after eating and drinking, George and Carl looked at each other, and after a while, George asked, "Tell me, who is it?" ”
"Nedritz." Carl took a sip of tea and said calmly, "He can't control his mouth, so I helped him take care of it." ”
"Gwen?"
Carl nodded, not saying anything more.
George patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job." ”
"Since I've done such a good job and I'm seriously injured, I might as well let you wash the dishes today."
"Damn, you're waiting for me here."
Across the door, Gwen sat on the floor against the door.
"Nedritz?" A look of disgust flashed in her eyes, she remembered that Peter was his bullying target, and now he still wanted to bully Carl?
The next day, Carl, who had a blue nose and a swollen face, met Ned, who also had a blue nose and a swollen face.
Ned looked sad and angry, you just press my face to the ground and rub it, and find someone to beat me?
But Ned underestimated Carl's impudence, and as soon as Carl saw him, he shouted, "Ned, you shameless bastard!" I can't beat me myself, but I find someone else to plot against me? ”
The hallways of Vision High School's school building were full of people, and both teachers and students heard this sentence.
Most of the students were impressed by Nedritz, a school bully, and most of them had seen how he bullied nerds with impunity, even good people like Peter Parker couldn't escape his clutches.
But frankly, when they heard that Nedritz had been bullied yesterday by a transfer student named Carl Stacy, most of them were happy, at least, to see such a bad bad luck was something that most people liked to hear.
"I didn't expect Nedriz to be such a guy."
"I'll just say he's a softie, and he only dares to bully those nerds."
"If you are beaten, you will seek revenge from others? Not a man. ”
Ned heard the chatter around him and wanted to cry aggrievedly.
I obviously didn't do anything, and I was beaten twice, why was I scolded in the end?
