Chapter 156 After the restart (Part 2) is over(1/2)
Boundless darkness shrouds the new 52DC universe and the original Watchmen universe, as if the universe has entered silence.
But in the darkness, there is also new life.
The first one to be restored was Dr. Manhattan's original Watchmen universe. It seemed that everything here had not changed and remained at the moment when Coven and Dr. Manhattan completed the final restart of the universe. Because of the departure of Dr. Manhattan and the emergence of Rorschach's diary,
With the exposure of the New York tragedy caused by the Pharaoh, the two poles of the world have restarted the war, and as they heat up each other, they may enter the dark cloud of nuclear war at any time.
A group of people with lofty ideals awakened among the panicked people. They clarified the consequences of entering into a nuclear war. Some of them dispersed their wealth and tried their best to maintain the stability of social order. Some of them worked among the people and worked at the grassroots level.
China has been lobbying to let more people understand the unwiseness and injustice of this war. The anti-war ideological trend and demonstrations have become more and more intense. The strong suppression by the bipolar governments has made people understand the nature of this war.
For a time, the anti-war wave swept the world. Not only the leading brother of the two poles, but also the surrounding Allied Powers and Allied Powers were affected. The army began to mutiny, questioning the correctness of the war. From bottom to top
The resistance trend of the two poles hindered the start of the nuclear war between the two poles, but this was only the beginning. Doctor Manhattan left, but both poles were afraid that the next Dr. Manhattan would appear in the hands of the other side.
If this is the case, no matter how the people or the military oppose the war, nuclear war will start with just one order and one button.
Unless there are competing forces between the two poles to maintain this balance. This is why the Pharaoh could not believe that humans could make correct judgments and resolutely created the tragedy in New York, because it was too difficult. The birth of Dr. Manhattan was purely accidental
, there is no experience to draw from, and it cannot be copied.
After that, there has never been a person with abilities like Dr. Manhattan in the two poles, and the Watchers are just a group of guys wearing strange clothes.
But a change happened at this moment. A blue butterfly flew from the universe and landed on the earth. In the atmosphere, it looked down at the blue planet where it was born. It flapped its wings and turned into little rays of light that dissipated in the atmosphere.
among.
Later, in 1971, at the end of the first year of the anti-war wave, a Cyborg warrior named No. 1 was born in the laboratory in Red Square. In order to stop this unwise and unjust war, he accepted the transformation of the country
Experiments turned his flesh and blood into various biochemical machines, but he broke out when scientists finally conducted brainwashing experiments on him that were loyal to the country.
"You should not question my loyalty to the country and the people, my dear Davari!"
"Then why did you refuse this operation? We will not erase your self-knowledge!"
"But you will make me lose my heart as a human being!"
In response to this answer, No. 1 went berserk. After leaving the laboratory where he was created, he also expressed his views on this unwise and unjust war on the Red Square. His high-pitched and touching speech made him a
He has become a hero recognized by the people, a number one recognized by the people.
With the alternative ability user No. 1 taking the lead, the dark clouds that originally hung over people because of the outbreak of nuclear war at any time began to dissipate. However, this was not enough because there was still a lack of balance. But reality is often so illogical.
0 to 1 is the most difficult, but from 1 to 2, it is much easier.
Coincidentally, after No. 1 was born and active for half a year, in mid-1972, in New York, a city where the Pharaoh caused a massive explosion, a warrior named No. 2 was born! A warrior who was born after the disaster.
The warrior, like the former Dr. Manhattan, was born from various accidents. Unlike the modified man No. 1, he was a biochemical man born under the influence of radiation.
Precisely because he has witnessed disasters, was born in disasters, and witnessed the tragic scenes, No. 2 understands better that once the two poles start a war, there will be no winner. Similarly, No. 2 also issued a speech in front of the ruined Times Square.
Speech, the same speech as No. 1. In this speech, No. 1 and No. 2, two new generations of capable people born in the two poles, both chose love and peace.
The birth of a new generation of capable people, the speeches that unanimously chose love and peace, and the lack of righteousness made the contradiction between the two polar governments a joke.
The dark clouds of nuclear war slowly dispersed under such clever and lucky circumstances.
It's just that the old wars have dispersed, and new wars are surging under the influence of bipolar governments.
The birth of No. 1 and No. 2 let the bipolar governments know that people after Dr. Manhattan can be born with abilities. Even if No. 1 and No. 2 do not obey the government's orders, they are still facades, with No. 1 and No. 2 as a precedent.
, the Allied Powers and the Covenant Powers, headed by the two poles, also entered the competition for ability users.
It has to be said that the bipolar governments have made a good move, but they have taken everything into account except the people's hearts.
Because of their nationality and identity, No. 1 and No. 2 no matter how much they reject the unwise and unjust war provoked by the bipolar governments, but when the war stops, they will naturally no longer be able to influence people's hearts and force the government, and each of them will become
Those with abilities on both sides, or the leaders of the Human Transformation Research Institute, followed the government's instructions and began to try to clone the next No. 1 and No. 2.
Numbers 1 and 2 both knew that once the competition for ability users started, it would not stop. The only thing they could do was to avoid the sacrifice of innocent people as much as possible. They succeeded but also failed.
A lot of manpower and material resources were invested, and soon after, new cyborgs and cyborg warriors were born in the Allied Powers and the Covenant Powers at the two poles, and they also had their own code names, Victory Three, Knightman,
Amazon, Strong Man, Super One, Black Sun, Shadow Moon... This is the successful side of the ability user competition.
With the restrictions of No. 1 and No. 2, these reformers who were born under the bipolar government have not been brainwashed and lost their own treatment. They have themselves and understand the painstaking efforts of No. 1 and No. 2. Even if they are in different camps, they can
Have the same goal.
What failed was that the two-pole governments invested a lot of money, labor and resources, and none of the cyborg warriors they created would directly obey the government's orders. This was unsuccessful for them, and disobedient tools might as well be destroyed.
. But due to the fact that these robot warriors have become a thing, this sound has been suppressed. It only needs a fuse to completely detonate.
The turning point of this fuse will soon arrive.
In 1994, when the last Cyborg Warrior J was born, under the strong pressure of the bipolar government to brainwash this Cyborg Warrior who had invested a lot of resources in creating it, a resistance jointly launched by No. 1 and No. 2 was led by this bipolar government.
, broke out inside a research institute called Toei. No one knows how many troops were used by both sides in this conflict.
That day, some people could see a giant nearly 60 meters tall running on the ground. Behind the giant's running were dazzling flames reaching into the sky and the wails of the army. No one died, and what was left behind was a mess.
The group of Cyborg warriors who were once active in people's view also disappeared and were labeled as traitors by the bipolar governments.
But this is not the end. One month after the explosion at the Toei Research Institute, a group of Cyborg warriors, including No. 1 and No. 2, who were labeled as traitors, appeared at the United Nations to discuss the two-pole governments’ plans for the Cyborg arms race in the past 23 years.
Various video materials were released to the world. People saw the innocent people who were sacrificed in the Cyborg arms race, and saw the tragedy of the Cyborg warriors who could not resist the righteousness.
I also understand how paranoid the bipolar government I belong to has become at this moment. If such a government does not fall, the next person who will become one of the reformers may be myself or the people around me.
A spontaneous government overthrow movement by the people has swept every corner of the world. People have understood that this is no longer a government they can trust. They have lost themselves in this arms race called human transformation. Even if they maintain their
Even those who are sober cannot control this carriage heading towards the cliff.
The only way is to let the carriage fall apart before it runs towards the cliff!
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the dark clouds of that nuclear war to dissipate. For most people, twenty-three years seems like yesterday. They know better how to attack and bring down the government.
The general trend is irresistible and people's hearts are irreversible. This movement is more crazy and fierce than before.
From 1994 to 2000, a full six years, under such public impact, the bipolar governments finally reaped the bitter fruits of their own brewing and were bitten by it.
Within six years, one of the bipolar governments announced its disintegration, reorganized the government, and split into two countries. A large amount of talents and resources flowed into this half-century-long arms race. They were forced to get involved and had to protect themselves, but they
As a country that maintains its final bottom line, it has absorbed most of the nutrients of one of the bipolar governments and at the same time learned its lessons. In a two-hundred-year-long national strategy, it has begun to rise in the world.
The same encounter also happened on the other side of the ocean. Although the country was not disintegrated and divided like its opponents, all overseas military bases were out of control. The only thing that remained was the control of two small countries in Asia. A large amount of capital and
The brain drain also made him almost follow in his footsteps, but the bipolar national conditions retained a little dignity in the end.
The bipolar government has collapsed, but the consequences of this arms race to transform humans are endless.
During the six-year overthrow movement, in order to protect themselves, the bipolar governments began to liquidate the classes that were once responsible for transforming the human arms race. However, this approach was too unwise. The constant backstabbing, resistance, and escape made
Brand-new terrorist organizations have also emerged internationally, and they have inherited the information, talents and resources of these transformed people who were liquidated by the bipolar governments.
Cooperating with careerists, they began to create a different kind of modified people, a group called weirdos.
For a time, at the beginning of the 21st century, biochemical terrorism became popular internationally, and those biochemical warriors who were born under the high pressure of the bipolar governments and under the asylum of No. 1 and No. 2 stood up and became the main force to resist this biochemical terrorism.
Transform the barriers to terrorism, and they also have a new title, the title Kamen Rider given by people!
Time has quietly arrived in the 2000s of the 21st century. The bipolar pattern that lasted for half a century has been broken due to various circumstances. A new international pattern and crisis have emerged, but what follows is the thought of more people.
Liberation and the collapse of bipolar governments have made more people understand that the government has never been the master of the country, they are!
The collapse, disintegration, and hemorrhage of the bipolar governments have saturated some countries below them. They are developing, and in order to ensure their own status, the bipolar governments have to restrain their minds and recover quickly. Under such a premise, in addition to biochemical modification,
Except for terrorism, which needs to be combated by the whole world, all countries have entered a period of peaceful development.
The events of the last century seemed to have become the stories told by our fathers, whether it was Dr. Manhattan who was once shaped by God, the tragedy of New York, or the dark clouds of nuclear war and the subsequent arms race for humanoids. And amid all these changes, that
The former group of watchmen have become ordinary people.
In New York, on the edge of the former bomb site, two old men stood on crutches at the monument next to the site, remembering all this.
"Time flies so fast. Thirty years have passed by in such a flash. Who could have imagined the hard work we have put in to investigate the truth of all this." The taller old man said with emotion.
"If you mean that when I was imprisoned, you and Silk Soul were preparing for pregnancy on your aircraft, then it is indeed a hard work."
"Ahem! You don't have to say that, Rorschach, and it didn't delay us from saving you."
"Yes, there was no delay, because I managed it all by myself."
"Ah, yes, yes, I won't tell you this, but don't you think it's amazing? You should have died, but you survived. We have promoted the drastic changes in the past thirty years, but everything is just too good, right?
Is it too late?”
"Maybe, maybe God really is arranging all this, maybe God was once a human being, and he still has hope for mankind..."
A little shorter, the old man named Rorschach answered his old friend's words. After remembering his friends who died in the tragedy in New York, he was also ready to turn around and leave. And they were the former watchers, Night Owl and Rorschach.
.Having been friends with Dr. Manhattan, they vaguely guessed the truth.
There is nothing else, because Rorschach is already dead, died in the hands of Dr. Manhattan, died in front of Nite Owl. But he is standing here now, in this thirty-year drastic change, the surviving Rorschach and Nite Owl,
Silk Soul and international forces have been secretly preventing nuclear war and investigating various plans to transform human armaments.
Even though I don't have any resources at hand, I can always get the most needed resources at the critical moment, and I can save the day every time I encounter danger. Once can be called luck, twice can be called coincidence, but for thirty years
, they neither exposed their identities, but also secretly promoted all this success and retreat, and combined with Rorschach's resurrection, everything seems to be explained.
It’s just that this answer doesn’t need to be told to the world.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Rorschach and Ye Xiao also noticed a young man carrying a backpack standing in front of the monument. Like them, he was remembering the victims of the tragedy in New York.
