After walking through the portal at the multiverse Spider Legion base, the next second, Peter found himself in another small space. This was obviously a cosmic space, but it was not as bright as the newly built Spider Legion base.
,wide.
"Is this a space station?" Peter asked. He looked up and down at the nearby environment and found that there was no sense of future technology at all. On the contrary, there were exposed pipelines everywhere, and it even looked like technology had regressed.
"This is a small space station above New York Island, and it is the only space station I control." Spider-Man 2099 explained, and he led Peter to the living room of the space station in a familiar manner.
There is a small window here, just enough to see the earth.
As soon as Peter walked over, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Outside the space station, what appeared was not the azure planet that Peter was familiar with, but a piece of celestial debris that had long since broken into countless fragments.
Although the earth still maintains a spherical shape as a whole, to be more precise, it should maintain a spherical radial shape, just like when fireworks explode. Countless fragments are arranged in different orbits, and have long lost their original complete and round shape.
.
The edges of each fragment are inlaid with mechanical equipment, which seems to be mechanical equipment used to maintain gravity and orbit. It is not difficult to see that these equipments have multiple styles and should come from different companies.
Moreover, many fragments are also connected by mechanical equipment. However, the mechanical device of the Sky Island itself is a physical object, and the one used to connect the Sky Island is more like an energy chain.
There are so many energy chains that it is impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye, and many of the abandoned parts have not been repaired. The endless energy chains are like terrifying tentacles, waving around the earth, and the entire earth seems to be cut into pieces.
But the pieces of meat connected by wires are the same, scary, ugly and creepy.
The many small spaceships flying among the debris are like flies seeing this piece of carrion. There is no beauty of order brought by any technology. There is only a disgusting density.
Peter was shocked by this scene and stood there without saying a word for a long time.
Spider-Man 2099 stood beside him, looking at his hometown through the small window. He said: "I'm sorry, I didn't go directly to your universe to find you, because I was really afraid of seeing the complete earth.
."
"My hometown has been like this since I was born, until one day, in another universe in the multiverse, I saw what the earth should have been like. These greedy big companies destroyed our beautiful mother planet...
…”
But to his surprise, young Peter did not immerse himself in negative emotions for too long. He turned to look at Spider-Man 2099 and asked: "You said this is your space station?"
"Yes, in this era, space stations are private property. As long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of luxury homes. Shareholders of big companies all live in such space stations. Spacious rooms, beautiful
Greenhouse, fresh air, they all have it..."
"On the surface of the earth, apart from the slums, there are factories built by large companies. Everything produced in the factories is for the supply of the rich people on the space station. This is why they plotted to blow up the earth."
Spider-Man 2099 led Peter all the way inside. He said: "In the decades before the earth was blown up, global equalization activities were in full swing. People believed that all the resources on the earth should be concentrated and then distributed equally.
.
"Of course the wealthy conspirators were unwilling to do this, so they established large companies and began to monopolize history, culture and technology. In the end, they used the technological means they had to directly blow up the earth."
“Only they have the ability to build a space station and live on it, while those civilians who are unable to do this are left on the broken surface. If they want to survive, they can only rely on the company.
"As a result, the entire earth has become a huge resource extractor. These large companies control the switch, and resources are continuously transported to company shareholders for enjoyment. However, the poor people on the earth do not even have the means to resist. They
There is no way to reach the space station high above."
"However, people have not given up. Under the high-pressure rule of the company, a group of free people have been born who want to reverse the current situation. I am one of them."
From the words of Spider-Man 2099, Peter keenly discovered some key points, so he asked: "Why are free people born? Shouldn't all ruled civilians unite to resist?"
Spider-Man 2099 shook his head and said: "You think of all this too simply. Large companies have robots that can completely replace human labor. In other words, they are willing to give civilians a job, which is already kind...or in other words,
All the civilians surviving now are actually provided for the rich to have fun and are their entertainment projects, rather than necessities for survival."
"Large companies will implant identity systems into civilians, and the system will upload all their privacy to the company's database, and shareholders can select the civilians they want to use for fun in the database.
, and then send a spaceship to take them home."
"My daughter died like this..."
Peter felt his heart suddenly sink. He had already guessed why. Spider-Man 2099's lower jaw showed when he was drinking just now. It showed that he was actually very handsome, so his daughter might also be very beautiful.
What surprised Spider-Man 2099 was that Peter did not insult the company angrily, but said something that sent shivers down Spider-Man 2099's back.
"What does the space station rely on to fly in the universe?"
"Of course it's the power system of a big company, but you'd better not try to trick them. Even the most powerful hackers can't hack into this part of the system..."
Peter said nothing. His silence made Spider-Man 2099 unable to see through him, so he said half-jokingly: "I thought only Shadow Spider-Man would be so taciturn..."
After saying that, he pushed open a door, and there was a small shuttle behind the door. It looked like a fighter jet, but it didn't have such big wings, and instead relied on the cosmic thruster at the rear to work.
Spider-Man 2099 opened the door and sat in. Peter immediately sat in the co-pilot's seat. With the roar of the engine, a small plane flew towards one of the celestial debris.
After landing, Peter was even more surprised by the scene here. The ground was not very dilapidated or deserted. On the contrary, there was a city that looked quite high-tech and very prosperous.
"Before the earth was blown up, we already had quite high technology. In order to paralyze the civilians, those shareholders claimed that they had withdrawn from the city and gave away their property."
"So, many people lived in the buildings in the city center. However, it was all just a scam. People thought they got what they wanted, but the next second, disaster struck."
Spider-Man 2099 pressed a button and the shuttle disappeared. While leading Peter into an alley, he said: "Ms. Miracle should be in the Nord Building. It is not the territory of the free people. It is a mixed bag of people and companies.
Employees, mercenaries, wanderers, we need to trick the identification system and get in, and then we can find her."
"Wait a minute." Peter stopped Spider-Man 2099, and then said: "The person who is looking for the female Loki is not me, but another Loki. Since I have the exact clues, I will take him now.
Call me over. He is also the God of Deception, maybe he can help..."
Spider-Man 2099 sighed and said: "If it weren't for my poor condition, I wouldn't need help from others at all. We are all Spider-Man, but 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, asking him to sit there and rest for a while. Then he dialed Loki's communication and explained the current situation to him.
Soon, as an orange square portal appeared on the ground, Luo Ji, holding Helen, appeared in front of the two Spider-Man.
At this time, she was still in female form, but after seeing Spider-Man 2099's shocked gaze, he transformed back into male Loki.
But soon, Spider-Man 2099's eyes fell on Helen's face. Before Loki could speak, Spider-Man 2099 looked at him again and asked: "Is this your daughter?"
Before Loki could answer, Helen started shouting. She raised her hands high and said, "Yes, this is my dad, ah, sometimes it's also my mom..."
Spider-Man 2099 was about to step forward, but he paused. He seemed to be afraid of scaring Helen. He hesitated and said, "Don't be afraid, little girl, it's just... you are a bit like my daughter."
Just as Loki was about to say something, Peter winked at him, so he took the initiative to change the topic.
"I heard that you have found clues to Sylvie. Where is she? I hope to find her soon."
"She is in the Nord Building, but it is no longer a prosperous business center. You can think of it as a large bazaar, a paradise for brokers. If we want to enter, we must first crack the identification there.
system……"
"This is easy to handle." Loki snapped his fingers and said, "As long as I can get a glimpse of the people who can get in, I can naturally find a way to disguise us."
"Disguise will not work." Spider-Man 2099 shook his head and said: "The chip of the identification system is implanted in the human body. It only imitates the appearance and cannot fool the security system."
"I don't intend to just imitate the appearance. What I use is not illusion." Loki shook his head and said, "Let's go there first. You will know soon..."
Spider-Man 2099 did not seem to agree with what Loki did, but Peter stood on Loki's side, and this was their mission, so Spider-Man 2099 led the two of them through the alley and came to an abandoned station.
.
Peter was a little surprised by the means of transportation here, because they were somewhat similar to the shuttles in full swing on Earth in his universe.
"Are you surprised? In fact, this is not surprising. The earth in my universe once walked towards the sea of stars, but unfortunately..." Spider-Man 2099 shook his head and said: "In the end, all the achievements of human civilization belong to
Big companies have nothing to do with ordinary people..."
The closer he got to the station, the thicker the darkness became. Peter saw countless traces of pedestrians passing through here. Once upon a time, this place was just like his hometown, civilized, prosperous, and full of vitality.
"Who is development for?" Peter asked softly, and he murmured in a low voice: "If not everyone can enjoy the fruits of civilization development, then what is the point of doing all this for us?
What is it?"
Spider-Man 2099 took the lead and walked into the darkness. In the darkness, he looked back at Peter, with the sadness and helplessness Peter felt in his eyes.
"Big companies have taken away everything, including my children and the children of many people."
"If, like you, I was born in the initial stage of the vigorous development of civilization, I would have the same doubts as you."
"And after I have experienced all this, I can only tell you the answer in my heart - Spider-Man will always be born for ordinary people."
"No matter how high or far others fly, I will always remain the same and defend to the death the interests of ordinary people that are the same as mine."
