Chapter 2108 The Ultimate New World (15)
Bruce has met Captain America in the fighting world, but Captain America does not seem to know Batman. Bruce is not sure whether he has not participated in this game or has never met Batman in the game.
But Bruce knew before that Captain America was a public figure in this universe, so it was not surprising that he recognized him. Bruce's understanding of Captain America was that he was a hero, but a little naive.
Of course, Bruce knows that his view is limited, because it is only for his universe, but not all universes have such a heavyweight city as Gotham. Perhaps in other universes, Captain America is indeed
Defender of peace and justice.
"You saved me?"
Captain America shook his head and said: "No, in fact you are not in real danger. I just don't agree with the old Osborn's approach."
"Do you know what they're doing?"
"Of course." Captain America sighed, walked to the chair next to him, sat down, and said, "It is unethical to conduct more human experiments in order to investigate some mysterious virus."
"But before that, they were just screening targets across California and New York that might be affected, conducting various inspections and tests on them."
"But old Osborne pays special attention to you. There must be a reason for this. Are you willing to tell me?"
Captain America stayed by his side with a very sincere expression. Bruce's nervousness that had been beating before finally felt better. He used his arms to support his body and sat up from the bed. He pointed to the coat pocket hanging next to him and said: "
Can you get me something?"
Captain America turned around and saw the bulging pockets of Bruce's coat. When he took it over, he found that there were several tubes of energy gel inside.
"Did they give this to you?" Captain America frowned and said, "I haven't seen this kind of thing on the market, which means it is probably untested. Do you really think it is a good thing to use this thing?
?”
Bruce sighed and said, "I feel very hungry. It's the kind of hunger that's beyond normal. Food can't solve it. I need a more direct energy supplement. So far, I haven't had any adverse symptoms."
Seeing his insistence, Captain America still handed him the energy gel. He looked at Bruce's muscles and carefully observed his movements, frowning slightly.
Bruce squeezed the energy gel into his mouth and said vaguely: "What's wrong? What's wrong with me?"
"No, I just think you are a little different from the citizens of San Francisco. I just came back from there. A friend of mine who has dealt with the Osborne Group told me about your situation, so I brought you here."
"Of course I'm different from them." Bruce finally had someone to talk to, and he didn't know what was wrong with him. He wanted to eat like crazy when he was hungry, and wanted to talk when he was full.
"Do you think I'm one of them? I became what I am now due to that mysterious infectious disease. I have to tell you, I'm not. The muscles on my body were exercised by myself and they belong to me.
my own."
Captain America's eyes stayed on Bruce's face. He lowered his eyes and said, "Of course, I believe you."
"No, you don't believe it at all, because you think it's impossible for humans to grow like this." Bruce threw the finished energy gel tube aside, rubbed his face and said, "It's hard for me to explain to you why I
You look like this and you're still working on the West Coast, but you're not on the Hollywood screen."
Captain America tilted his head slightly and admitted his doubts. Bruce sighed and said: "If you don't believe it, we have done it twice, so you will know that me and those kids who can't even do a deadlift
Bai is different."
Captain America stood up, but did not make any warm-up gestures. He stood there and waited quietly for Bruce.
After that feeling of energy reappeared, Bruce stood up and moved his wrists and neck. If he had any skill, it would be fighting.
Captain America lowered his center of gravity, raised his arms, and took a defensive posture. Bruce took the same posture, but chose the safest hug.
He felt something different as soon as he took the first step. The scenery receded so fast within his field of vision that it was too late for him to stop.
boom!
Captain America was knocked against the opposite wall by him, his face was full of disbelief, and he was grinning in pain.
Bruce was also shocked. He knew that his power had become stronger, but he didn't expect it to reach this level. He knew that Captain America was a genetically modified man and would not be defeated so easily.
Suddenly Bruce's nerves jumped again, but this time there was more than just a sound. Before his brain could react, his body had already moved to the right to dodge.
Captain America jumped in the air, turned his head and punched again. Bruce bent down to avoid it, and he could even clearly see the dust particles flying in the air.
"Stop!" Bruce stretched out his hands and said, "Something's wrong."
Captain America retracted his fist, nodded and said, "That's indeed wrong. Are you a mutant?"
"The Osborn Group said I'm not." Of course Bruce knew in his heart that he was not. He had also met mutants and heard them say that the difference between mutants and normal people lies in genes, and it was obvious that he could not have mutant genes.
Captain America frowned deeply. If he was not a mutant, then it might have something to do with the mutation incident of San Francisco residents.
He originally thought that the mutation of the residents was just a change in appearance, but if it was possible for super soldiers to be born, the nature of the matter would be different.
Captain America immediately grabbed the shield, looked at Bruce and said, "Follow me, it's not very safe here. Let's talk somewhere else."
Bruce followed Captain America to an underground base. The place was empty and seemed abandoned. Only some pictures posted on the walls told of the excitement of the past.
"This is the former base of the Avengers. Now we have moved, but I think this represents a certain period of our past." Captain America looked around and said.
"Who do you think is responsible for this?" Bruce asked.
Captain America was obviously taken aback, but he shook his head and said: "We are not sure yet, but we must protect you."
Even Bruce could see that Captain America definitely had suspicions, but he didn't want to say it, or even he didn't want to believe it.
"Do you think this is a good thing?" Bruce asked.
Captain America sat down on the chair by the wall, put his hands on his legs and said: "Maybe you think you are a lucky person who suddenly has perfect appearance and powerful strength without doing anything. In fact, I have also
Been through it all.”
"You will definitely think that I am getting a good deal and that I have benefited from genetic modification, so you are strongly opposed to others getting the same benefits. Or you may think that I am selfish. If I get better, I will not tolerate others getting better."
Captain America looked at Bruce and said, "What do you think is the relationship between ability and responsibility?"
Bruce sat down next to him, fiddled with a few playing cards left on the table and said: "I have some responsibilities that I have to bear, but most of them are for myself. People have to be responsible for their own lives, so I decided to go
Do something."
"During this journey, I often feel that my abilities are too small and there are too few things I can do. I also often fantasize about how much I can do when I become stronger."
Captain America looked at Bruce in silence, and as he listened to his words, he could truly feel that Bruce was very much like himself before, the one who had not been injected with the super soldier serum.
Captain America has seen that Bruce's strength is based on training, which means that he is probably not lying and that his figure was built by himself.
But usually, a handsome and strong man does not need such strength to take responsibility for his own life. Why does Bruce feel weak?
"The stronger the sense of responsibility you have, the more you want to gain more power." Bruce concluded, "But there is no upper limit to power. No matter how powerful you are, there is always something you can't do.
There are always responsibilities that we cannot bear.”
This is the voice of Bruce. He has also experienced this kind of mental journey in the fighting world. He found that other Batmans are so strong, so he naturally wants to become so strong. Then he found that even if Batman is so strong, there are almost no brothers.
Tan was saved, which is the most extreme manifestation of the sometimes poor human resources.
"I think that if a person first has a strong sense of responsibility and then gains strength, then he will hardly lose control, because the strong desire to be responsible will enable them to use their strength to shoulder their responsibilities."
Captain America said while recalling: "When I was lying on the operating bed, I was already prepared to sacrifice my life for my country. Although the final result was good, before the good result was achieved, the faith and courage I had were not
Fake."
"But what happens if a person gains power first but doesn't have the corresponding sense of responsibility?"
Captain America looked at Bruce and said, "Where are the group of people?"
Bruce immediately realized what Captain America was worried about, but at this moment, he could only say that Captain America's worries were indeed justified, because he understood super criminals better than Captain America.
Speaking of Gotham, everyone always thinks of those familiar lunatics. It is true that they were born with abnormal brains, but there are nearly 10 million people in Gotham, and the number of such born lunatics can be counted on two hands.
.
It stands to reason that if there were only such born lunatics, then they would be drowned in the vast sea of people and would not be so conspicuous. No matter how crazy and creative they were, they would not bring a city to this level.
The backbone of Gotham's crimes are ordinary people who have mutated inexplicably, gained supernormal strength, and acquired rich knowledge.
When Bruce was in the fighting world, he heard some arguments about Gotham not being saved. Although the words were vague, Bruce could guess that the extremely high mutation rate of Gotham people was not a coincidence.
They gained power from mutation and madness, but they used this power to commit crimes. Maybe some of them were forced to do so, but the vast majority simply didn't know what else to do with this power, so they simply
It's up to you.
Captain America said: "Since the rise of neoliberalism, the argument of freedom has completely overshadowed the argument of responsibility. Everyone feels that they are irresponsible to the world."
"Because there are always responsible people to solve the troubles caused by irresponsibility, they feel that they will always live in a stable environment, feel that liberalism is right, and will even use their abilities to take responsibility.
It’s a shameful thing to do.”
"Now the worst-case scenario has happened. People who don't know how to be responsible and don't want to be responsible have gained greater power. Ordinary people who choose to be responsible will not be able to defeat them."
Captain America stood up and stared at the shield he placed flat on the table. He said: "If they can't have more Captain America, this is destined to be the beginning of destruction."
Bruce looked up at him, and Captain America held out a hand to him and said, "I didn't expect you to think so, but I'm glad you do. Chaos will break out soon, and I need you."
strength."
Bruce looked him in the eyes for a moment, then stood up and clasped his hands together.
"Maybe my strength has become stronger, but I'm still far behind." Bruce sighed lightly and said, "Compared to the situation I'm facing."
"You are strong and determined enough, and I have nothing to teach you." Captain America looked into Bruce's eyes and said, "But I can convey to you what my friend once said - with great power comes great responsibility.
"
Schiller off-screen covered his face.
"I finally know how Captain America died."
