Chapter 348 Everyone Is for Me, I Am for Everyone
After almost all well-known heroes have opened their own private social accounts under Li Jie's contact. Careful netizens discovered a problem.
That is, Spider-Man, who is quite important among the Night Watchmen and is currently the best-selling hero in superhero comics, has not opened his own social platform.
This made many fans who were eager to try and plan to follow a wave of fans after Spider-Man opened a Weibo account and give Spider-Man a big gift feel very disappointed. So many fans left messages under Li Jie's Weibo account, asking Li Jie when Spiderman would open his private Weibo.
And at this stall, Li Jie started to send a short video on Weibo.
The opening scene of the shot is in the darkness, and then the picture begins to shake violently. Looks like it was shot with a handheld camera. After a closer look, I found out that it was a gopro (a kind of sports camera) used to shoot.
The blackness in the picture is because here is a fire scene with thick smoke billowing. Suffocating smoke is spreading everywhere, and the flames are engulfing everything that can burn in the house.
There was a crackling sound as the flame burned. The camera is down, the floor has cracks, and there is a danger of collapsing at any time.
"Is anyone there!" A young voice came out. Listen carefully, it turned out to be the owner with a gopro camera. He's in the middle of a fire, he's saving people. Because in addition to the sound of the flames burning, a slight cry can be heard at the fire scene.
And the owner of the GoPro also obviously heard the crying sound. He shouted vigorously. "Don't be afraid, I'll save you!" This time the audience could hear the voice of the voice more clearly. It was a distinctly youthful voice.
hiss! A slight sound was accompanied by the sudden appearance of spider silk in the picture, and the audience suddenly understood who the person who was saving people in the fire was. This is Spiderman! He is saving people in the fire.
The fire site was located in a slum in Brooklyn, where the old brick-and-timber houses had not been effectively repaired. Perhaps the fire was caused by inadvertent use of fire. Houses with brick and wood structures have extremely poor fire resistance, and the fire becomes uncontrollable and fierce in an instant.
The fire brigade's fire truck was still on its way. It is now clear that there are still people trapped inside the fire. The sound came from the bathroom next to the corridor.
But on the way to the bathroom, the broken beams and columns collapsed and lay in front of the bathroom door.
Spider-Man wants to use his own spider silk to move this girder. The girder weighs only a few hundred kilograms, which is not heavy at all for Spider-Man. But the biggest problem is that this girder is made of wood, and it has already started to burn.
Spider silk is really tough and has super stretching power. But it does not violate its basic principle as spider silk, that is, this kind of thing, which is almost synthesized by protein and other substances, is very, very not resistant to burning.
Almost as soon as it touched the blazing flame, the spider silk burned up instantly. The crying in the bathroom became weaker and weaker, but Peter hadn't moved the fire pillar blocking the door of the bathroom.
"I'll come to rescue you soon!" Even across the screen, the audience could hear the anxiety in Spider-Man's voice.
"Hurry up~! Hurry up! Hurry up! Spider-Man, hurry up and rescue the people inside!" In a student dormitory at New York University, a college student was watching this video on his computer.
For him, being able to see the first-person video of the hero is much better than going to the cinema to watch Hollywood Xibei.
"Jason, you're making me do my homework!" the boy's roommate complained.
"What kind of homework to write! Come and watch this! This is a very exciting thing, the scene of Spiderman saving people from the first perspective, this is much more real than Hollywood movies!" The boy named Jason called his roommate over Watch the video together.
The roommate also became interested when he heard this, and came over to watch it with Jason.
"Look, someone is trapped in the fire. Spider-Man is trying to save someone."
"Have you been rescued yet?"
"Not yet. It seems that his spider silk is not made of refractory material, and it will break when it touches the fire. He is now trying to find a way to remove the fire pillar."
The Spider-Man on the computer screen doesn't have a particularly good way to remove the fire pillar. Of course, if he has enough time, he can go outside and find some tools to help.
But in this smoke-filled fire scene, the sound in the bathroom became weaker and weaker. With almost no room for further thinking, Spider-Man moved away from the burning pillar of fire with both hands against the flames.
"Ah!!" Spider-Man let out a roar when carrying the fire pillar. Some people may think that this is the cry of a person when he is exerting force.
But the weight of a few hundred kilograms is not a burden at all for the current Spider-Man. The reason why he shouted was because of the close contact of the raging flames with his palm.
The high temperature of hundreds of degrees instantly burned the glove part of his spider uniform. Hot flames licked his palms. Almost at the moment of contact, his palm was burned.
Therefore, this huge shout is not Spider-Man using force. Instead, he was enduring the severe pain caused by the high temperature.
In front of the screen, Jason and his roommate also noticed something was wrong.
"Dude, why does Spider-Man sound like he's screaming." The roommate was a little puzzled.
"I don't know either." Jason was also a little dazed.
But they soon learned why, as Spider-Man looked down at his hand after removing the pillar of fire. The camera also captured Spider-Man's hands.
The high temperature exposure just now had burned a large part of his two hands instantly. The entire palm was burned off. Someone else might back off here. But Spider-Man will not. In a sense, Peter Parker is indeed a bad guy who sacrifices himself to save others.
And Jason and his roommate were stunned.
"Damn it, I always thought that Spider-Man was invulnerable and couldn't get hurt." Jason couldn't believe it.
"Oh my god, his hands are completely burned." His roommate was also shocked.
The injured Spider-Man didn't pay much attention to his pain, he just took a look. Immediately opened the bathroom door. In the bathroom, two children had passed out in the thick smoke.
It looks like a pair of brothers and sisters, both of whom are not very old. He looked about twelve or thirteen years old. Spider-Man touched and listened to the heartbeats of the two, making sure that they were still alive.
Without any hesitation, he used his bioelectric ability to attach the two children to his body, and ran away from the fire with the two children.
Just after escaping from the fire, fire engines and medical vehicles rushed to the burning old building. Without too much nonsense, Spider-Man handed the two children to the arriving ambulance, and he quickly turned and left.
He shot out spider silk and quickly left the scene of fire. People have been rescued, and now there are fire engines to control the fire, and now there is no need for him to get in the way.
It's just that the burned hands are extremely painful when holding the slender spider silk, and the spider silk cuts the already burned hands. Blood flowed down Spider-Man's hands and dripped down. Drops where he wandered and danced.
It also dripped into the hearts of every video viewer.
"Are you an idiot!" Now the person who appears in front of the camera is Nightcrawler. Another hero familiar to the audience. He was standing in front of Spider-Man and preaching.
"I just ask you to simply record your daily living conditions, not to ask you to harm yourself!"
"You can't see that there are people in the fire scene who are not rescued, right?" Spider-Man said as if he didn't care.
"The burns are very serious. You may have to lie on the hospital bed for a while later. If it weren't for the new type of medicine, I'm afraid there will be permanent scars." Nightcrawler looked at Spider-Man's injuries, feeling a little helpless Said.
"Okay, but I don't want my family to know that I have such an injury. The last time I got a bruise on my face, my family asked me for a long time. So I can only make up nonsense that I was beaten by a school bully .In the end, they wanted to go to the school to sue!" Spider-Man said briskly, with a smile in his tone. It seemed that he didn't take his injury to heart at all.
But a mother who watched the video in front of the computer screen was frightened and covered her surprised and opened mouth with her hands. She didn't know why there were tears in her eyes suddenly, she said in a low voice. "He's still a kid, a kid."
"How much do you think you can score on the SAT?" Nightcrawler was holding a healing spray to spit Spider-Man to stop the bleeding, and Spider-Man was chatting with him about homework.
"Fate, you know. I don't care." Nightcrawler shrugged meaninglessly.
"I think I can at least score 2200 in the test." Spiderman said in a proud tone.
"Okay, shut up Xueba. At least your hands should recover enough to pick up a pen before the exam." Nightcrawler was bandaging him.
"Think of an excuse to explain to your family. At least you can't go home for the time being."
Jason grinned in front of the computer screen. "Maybe, Spider-Man will come to our school to teach in the future?"
And his roommate, sniffled. "Damn, they are smiling. Why do I feel like crying."
"Huh!" Jason suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, he sighed heavily.
And the video is still going on, but the screen starts to switch rapidly. It's not just a first-person shot of Spider-Man. Some hunted down gangsters, and some helped the police catch criminals who slipped through the net.
There are also those who take pregnant women to the hospital who are stuck in busy New York City roads. More and more people appear in the video. Many of them are well-known heroes.
There's Spider-Man, and there's Nightcrawler. There's Big Daddy, there's The Punisher, etc. There are stories about them eating supper and watching the game together, and there are stories about catching fugitives together. And on the way to the convenience store to sell bread at night, I caught a robber by the way.
Many others were brought in for treatment after they were wounded and bleeding. Remove brass bullets from solid muscle, or sterilize lacerated wounds with high-grade alcohol.
The speed of this video clip is very fast, but it is very real. It shows another side of the hero to all the people. The other side of the hero's life.
Heroes get hurt, bleed, and die. They are not Xiaoqiang who always have the halo of the protagonist in the comics and who will never die.
The video doesn't have any exciting or tear-jerking BGM. It is the simplest live sound, and this makes the video more real.
"Heroes are not a good profession." A voice came in during the transition between the screens. This is the voice of the Nightcrawler.
“This profession is not about putting on a uniform and clocking in at nine in the morning and leaving at five in the afternoon. No one pays you, no one pays you bonuses. You don’t get punished by your boss for catching a few more criminals today. There will be no chance of promotion."
"Maybe the more you do, the more injuries you will bring to yourself." Nightcrawler's voice was indifferent and calm. But the audience in front of the computer was not so calm. Because it is the scenes of those injuries that are shown on the video.
"When we put on our masks and hoods, we're superheroes. When we take off our hoods, we're just one of many. Someone else's son, father, whatever."
"We also worry about everything in life. For studies and homework. For mortgages and car loans. For quarreling with our girlfriends, because being a superhero takes up too much time and we can't be with her." Many viewers before the video Everyone laughed when they heard this sentence, but soon everyone couldn't laugh anymore.
Yes, sacrifice so much, for what?
"The world is not good. Too much indifference and violence. War and conflict. And we had an idea, we thought since the world needs some good changes. So why, as capable people, don't we step up? "
"We hope that this world will become more peaceful and beautiful in the future. In this cruel and beautiful world, countless people with the same dream as us are working hard to move forward." The video screen began to switch to some ordinary people.
Most of them are ordinary people who are unknown, but many of them are ordinary people who have persisted in doing good for decades.
There are nuns who have been working hard to help orphans, and chefs who regularly send some bread to poor families every week. Social workers who help care for disabled elderly in the community.
In this way, this video puts the status of superheroes on an equal footing with these ordinary people.
"We are not any different. We choose to wear masks to hide our identities in anticipation of the day when the world will be a better place. When we take off our masks and stop playing heroes, we can live the same lives as ordinary people."
"The world has become indifferent because of the lack of rewards for good deeds, and it has become cruel because of indifference. It is because of cruelty that the world is full of tragedies." Nightcrawler's voice was calm and firm.
"We are born ordinary, but we work hard in this world. Don't use the hero's reputation as a stepping stone, and don't blame us for the hero's choice to hide."
"Because we are also an insignificant part of the ordinary world. In a peaceful life, we play our own responsibilities as sons, fathers, or husbands." This passage of Nightcrawler has won many videos audience approval.
And the video screen switched to an empty room, and the night walker was standing in the center of the room.
"And when the world needs us, we will wear a disguise. Leave the danger to ourselves and the safety to our family." Nightcrawler hammered his heart with his fist and said in an unprecedented firm tone.
"Because we firmly believe that: everyone is for me, and I am for everyone!"
