Chapter 2134 The Ultimate New World (XV)

Chapter 2108 The Ultimate New World (Fifteen)

Bruce had seen Captain America in the fighting world, but this Captain America didn't seem to know Batman. Bruce wasn't sure if he hadn't participated in the game or hadn't met Batman in the game.

But Bruce knew before that Captain America was a public figure in this universe, so it wasn't strange that he recognized him. Bruce's understanding of Captain America was that he was a hero, but a little naive.

Of course, Bruce knew that his view was limited, because it was only for the universe he was in, but not all universes had a city as heavyweight as Gotham. Perhaps in other universes, Captain America was indeed a defender of peace and justice.

"You saved me?"

Captain America shook his head and said, "Not really. You weren't in any real danger. I just don't agree with what old Osborn did."

"Do you know what they are doing?"

"Of course." Captain America sighed, walked to the chair next to him and sat down, saying, "It is unethical to conduct more human experiments to investigate a mysterious virus."

"But before that, they were just screening targets that might be affected in California and New York, and conducting various inspections and tests on them."

"But old Osborn paid special attention to you. There must be a reason for this. Would you like to tell me?"

Captain America stayed by his side with a very sincere look. Bruce's nerves that had been beating before finally felt better. He supported his body with his arms and sat up from the bed, pointed to the pocket of the coat hanging next to him and said, "Can you help me get something?"

Captain America turned around and saw the bulging pocket of Bruce's coat. After he took it, he found that there were several tubes of energy gel in it.

"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's a good thing to use this thing?"

Bruce sighed and said, "I feel very hungry, the kind of hunger beyond common sense, which cannot be solved by food. I need a more direct energy supplement. So far, no adverse symptoms have appeared."

Seeing that he insisted, 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? Is there anything 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 am different from them." Bruce finally had someone to talk to. He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he was hungry, he wanted to eat crazily, and when he was full, he wanted to talk.

"Do you think I'm one of them? I've become what I am now because of that mysterious infectious disease. I have to tell you that I'm not. I built this muscle on my body by myself. It belongs to me."

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 a human to grow like this." Bruce threw the tube of energy gel to the side, rubbed his face and said, "It's hard for me to explain to you why I look like this and still work on the West Coast, but I haven't appeared on the Hollywood screen."

Captain America tilted his head slightly and admitted his doubts. Bruce sighed and said, "If you don't believe it, let's have a few moves, so you will know that I am different from those newbies who can't even do a deadlift."

Captain America stood up, but did not warm up. He stood there quietly waiting for Bruce.

After the feeling of energy filling appeared again, Bruce stood up and moved his wrists and neck. If he had any skills to show off, it would be fighting.

Captain America lowered his center of gravity, raised his arms, and took a defensive posture. Bruce also took a posture, but chose the most stable hug and throw.

He felt different as soon as he took the first step. The scenery in his field of vision was retreating too fast, and it was too late for him to stop.

Bang!

Captain America was knocked against the opposite wall by him, his face full of disbelief, and he was grinning in pain.

Bruce was also shocked. He knew that his strength had increased, but he didn't expect it to increase to this extent. He knew that Captain America was a genetically modified person and would not be knocked down so easily.

Suddenly Bruce's nerves jumped again, but this time there was not only a sound. Before his brain could react, his body had already taken a dodging posture to the right.

Captain America missed and turned his head to punch again. Bruce bent down to avoid the process and could even clearly see the dust flying in the air.

"Stop!" Bruce stretched out his hands and said, "Something is wrong."

Captain America retracted his fists, nodded and said, "It's definitely wrong. Are you a mutant?"

"The Osborn Group says I'm not." 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 he obviously couldn't have mutant genes.

Captain America frowned deeply. If he was not a mutant, then it was probably related to the mutation of San Francisco residents.

He originally thought that the mutation of residents was just a change in appearance, but if it was possible to give birth to super soldiers, the nature of the matter would be different.

Captain America immediately grabbed the shield and looked at Bruce and said, "Come with me, it's not safe here, let's talk somewhere else."

Bruce followed Captain America to an underground base, which was empty and looked abandoned. Only some pictures on the wall told of the past bustle.

"This was the former base of the Avengers. Now we have moved, but I think this represents a part of our past." Captain America looked around and said.

"Who do you think is behind this?" Bruce asked.

Captain America was obviously stunned, but he shook his head and said, "It's not certain yet, but we have to protect you."

Even Bruce could see that Captain America definitely had someone he suspected, 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 a chair by the wall, put his hands on his legs and said, "Maybe you think you are a lucky guy. You didn't do anything, but suddenly you have a perfect appearance and powerful strength. In fact, I have experienced all of this."

"You must think that I am taking advantage of others. I have benefited from genetic modification, so I strongly oppose others to get these things, or think that I am selfish. I have become better, so I can't stand others getting better."

Captain America looked at Bruce and said, "What do you think is the relationship between ability and responsibility?"

Bruce sat down beside him, fiddling with a few playing cards left on the table and said, "I have some responsibilities that I must bear, but most of them are for myself. People have to be responsible for their own lives, so I decided to do something."

"Along the way, I often feel that my ability is too small and I can do too little. I often imagine how much I can do after I become stronger."

Captain America looked at Bruce silently, listening to him talk, he could really feel that Bruce was very similar to his former self, the one who had not been injected with super soldier serum.

Captain America has seen that Bruce's strength is based on training, which means that he is probably not lying, and his body is trained by himself.

But usually, a handsome and strong man does not need such strong strength to be responsible for his own life. Why does Bruce feel weak?

"The stronger the sense of responsibility, the more you want to gain more power." Bruce gave a conclusion, saying: "But power is never limited. No matter how strong you are, there are always things you can't do and responsibilities you can't bear."

This is Bruce's voice. He has also experienced such a journey in the fighting world. He found that other Batmans are so strong, so he naturally wants to be so strong. Then he found that even if Batman is so strong, there is almost no Gotham saved. This is the most extreme manifestation of human power being exhausted.

"I think if a person has a strong sense of responsibility before gaining power, then he will hardly lose control, because the strong desire to be responsible will make them use their power to shoulder their own responsibilities."

Captain America recalled and said: "When I was lying on the operating table, I was ready to sacrifice my life for the country. Although the final result was good, before the good result was achieved, the faith and courage I had were not false."

"But what will happen if a person gains power first but does not have the corresponding sense of responsibility?"

Captain America looked at Bruce and said, "What about a 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 really reasonable, because he understood super criminals better than Captain America.

Speaking of Gotham, everyone always thinks of those familiar lunatics. They are indeed not normal when they are born, but there are nearly 10 million people in Gotham, and the number of such born lunatics can be counted on two hands.

Logically speaking, if there were only these born madmen, they would be drowned in the vast sea of ​​people and would not be so noticeable. No matter how crazy or creative they are, they would not let a city fall to this point.

The backbone of Gotham's crime is those ordinary people who have inexplicably mutated, gained extraordinary power, and acquired rich knowledge.

When Bruce was in the fighting world, he heard some arguments that Gotham could not be saved. Although the words were vague, Bruce could guess that the high mutation rate of Gotham people was not a coincidence.

They gained power from mutation and madness, but used this power for crime. Perhaps some people were forced to do so, but the vast majority did not know what else they could do with this power, so they just did whatever they wanted.

Captain America said: "Since the prevalence of neoliberalism, the tone of freedom has completely overshadowed the tone of responsibility, and everyone feels that they are irresponsible for 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, think that liberalism is not wrong, and even regard it as a shame to use their abilities to take responsibility."

"Now the worst situation has happened. People who don't know how to be responsible and don't want to be responsible have gained greater power, and ordinary people who choose to be responsible will not be able to defeat them."

Captain America stood up and stared at the shield he had 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 stretched out a hand to him and said: "I didn't expect you to think so, but I'm glad you think so. Chaos will soon break out, and I need your strength."

Bruce looked into his eyes and paused for a moment, then stood up and clasped his hands together.

"Maybe my power has become stronger, but I'm still far from it." Bruce sighed and said, "Compared to the situation I'm facing."

"You are strong and determined enough, 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 - the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Schiller covered his face outside the screen.

"I know how Captain America died."
