Chapter 2147 The Ultimate New World (Twenty-Eight)
Bruce turned on the car's wipers, and then he found that it was not the fog on the windshield that blocked his vision. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and visibility was decreasing rapidly.
"Stop the car!" Aisha's baby voice was rarely serious. She tugged at the corner of Bruce's clothes and said, "Something is wrong, stop the car!"
Bruce slowly stepped on the accelerator, and the anger in his heart began to turn cold.
Aisha opened the door and jumped out without thinking. She stood beside the car and turned to look behind. Bruce also got out of the car and turned to look at the way they came.
San Francisco disappeared.
This huge city that should have appeared on the skyline turned into a thick fog that could not see anything. They seemed to be far away from the civilized and prosperous society.
But they had not driven for a long time and were still on the way out of the city. They had not reached the suburbs at all. How thick the fog was to make the outline of the city disappear.
Suddenly, Bruce turned around abruptly, and his sharp hair cut through the dense fog, bringing up water droplets and dust. The pupils in his gray-blue eyes shrank sharply, because he saw a vague figure at the end of the dense fog.
"Who are you?" Bruce took a step forward, staring closely at the figure in front of him. Just as he was about to step forward, Aisha grabbed him.
Bruce looked down at Aisha, who stared at his face and shook her head.
"What is that?" Bruce looked at Aisha and asked.
"I don't know." Aisha grabbed the corner of Bruce's coat and said, "But he is not human, it is very dangerous here."
Bruce swallowed his saliva. He knew Aisha was not joking, and Bruce didn't know how many times he could die if this weird little girl with a strong temper described it as dangerous.
He stood still and tapped his feet, quickly opened the car door, carried Aisha in first, and then got in the car himself.
"Don't... don't..."
It was too late when Aisha shouted. Bruce stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and the car rushed out at a very fast speed.
The airflow brought by the high speed cut through the thick fog like a knife. The huge roar and tremor brought by speeding seemed to be able to shatter all fears. Bruce heard his heart beating with the tires, and blood and gasoline flowing together.
"You have to stop." Aisha said with a slight breath: "This is beyond the scope of science. We can't escape."
Sizzle--
The sharp and piercing brake sound came, and Bruce fell on the steering wheel. He was hit on the head without a seat belt, and the blood that flowed down covered his eyes.
He pushed open the car door and rushed out of the car, roaring at the figure who was still standing at the end of the thick fog.
"Come on! What do you want to do?! Do you want to kill me? Then come on!!!"
Bruce staggered back a few steps, wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand, clenched his fists and hammered the roof of the car hard, roaring.
"I don't know what you want to do, and I don't know why you do this." Bruce leaned against the car door, propping up the rearview mirror with his arm, and said, "Why are some people in this world born with everything? Why can't some people?"
"We can't choose what we have. If this is God's will, then what's going on now? What is stopping me? What are you?"
Bruce's language logic was a bit broken, but Aisha, who was sitting in the car, understood what he was saying. After sitting there in silence for a while, she took out a pack of tissues from the side of the seat, climbed to the side of the driver's seat, rolled down the window and handed the tissues to Bruce.
Bruce's Adam's apple kept trembling. He took the tissue and wiped his face randomly, opened his mouth and moved his jaw.
Aisha put her hands on the window frame of the car door, got her head out of the car door, took a deep breath and said, "If I were at home, I would take you to see a psychiatrist."
"I'm not sick, it's not my fault."
"He would say that too."
"Then why?" Bruce said, spreading his hands.
"What do you want?"
"Power, wisdom, or something else that can save Gotham... something that can save my parents." Bruce's tone became a little choked. He lowered his hands and stood there and said, "Do I really want a lot?"
"You don't want enough." Aisha turned away and said, "Batman has them, but Batman can't."
"Then who can do it?" Bruce leaned on the window frame with both hands, lowered his head and looked into Aisha's eyes and said, "Tell me who can, God?"
"My dad, because he is not Batman."
Bruce stood there in a daze for a while, opened the car door, carried Aisha to the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, sat back in the main driver's seat, and slowly started the car.
Driving forward in silence all the way, Bruce finally got closer and closer to the shadow in the fog, and then he found that the figure was standing on the side of the road, quietly watching every traveler on the road.
Just as he was about to approach the figure, Bruce found that two spots of light suddenly lit up in the thick fog ahead.
Closer, two beams of light appeared and disappeared. It was too late for Bruce to slow down. On the opposite lane, a car with four people passed by them.
At the moment when the two cars met, they turned their heads to look at each other tacitly, but the fog was too thick and they could not see each other's faces clearly, but they were very sure that the other party was a real person like themselves, not a physical monster or an illusion.
Time and space intertwined?
Coulson looked at the car passing by in disbelief. He vaguely saw the gray-blue eyes of the young man driving the car, but because the fog was too thick, he could not see his specific appearance.
But it was shocking enough that there were other humans in this mysterious space.
About ten minutes ago, when Coulson was studying the mysterious Dr. Sosip's way of coming, they found that the window was foggy.
This was an excellent opportunity to observe the abnormality around Niagara Falls. Of course, they would not let it go, so the members of Coulson's team immediately picked up the equipment and got on the car, preparing to drive to Niagara Falls overnight for monitoring.
As a result, they found that they had driven for more than 100 kilometers and still hadn't seen the shadow of Niagara Falls. The road was full of thick fog.
After driving for a while, they found a change. Although the shadow at the end of the thick fog was still standing there, two flashing lamp posts appeared beside him.
After the lights flashed twice, Coulson found that he had passed by another car, and the driver in that car was a human like his group.
"Is there a signal from the navigation? What about the response of the monitoring equipment?" Coulson turned his head and looked at the two scientists in the back seat.
Fitz frowned and said, "The satellite signal was cut off. This is not normal. We are using the positioning satellite of SHIELD. The security defense level is very high and it is unlikely to be shielded by external forces."
"The readings of the monitoring equipment are strange." Fitz looked down at a gauge next to him and said, "There is a strange magnetic field here that can interfere with the operation of all electronic equipment."
"If the plane passes through here, will it fall?" Coulson immediately thought of a more realistic problem.
"It's hard to say. Have you forgotten? We thought we drove more than 200 kilometers, but in fact we didn't go that far. We thought we were injured, but in fact we weren't."
"He didn't seem to want to hurt us." Simmons said, flipping through the information in his hand and then said, "This is probably the only good news so far."
"Do you think this is an independent space?"
"I'm afraid it is." Fitz looked up at Coulson and said, "If this is not an independent space, there is no way to explain the discrepancy between the car's driving distance and the actual distance."
"Regarding this mysterious fog, the most likely speculation is that the fog represents the entrance and exit of the alien space. "Whenever we encounter thick fog, we will temporarily enter this mysterious space, and then leave through the thick fog."
"The time and space in the thick fog space are inconsistent with the outside world, and the exit may not be at the location corresponding to the driving distance. This leads to the situation that we have been driving in the fog for a long time, but after leaving the thick fog, we find that we are not at the end of the mileage."
Coulson thought about it and felt that what Fitz said made sense. In fact, the legend of the different space is not a day or two. For example, the most famous Bermuda Triangle, many people think that it is the entrance to the different dimension, so there are so many disappearances.
The most famous legend about the Bermuda Triangle is that the whole ship disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle for 30 years. After coming out, the old man is still an old man, and the child is still a child, as if time has not passed at all. After a passenger plane flew in, it appeared over another water area that was not on the route at all.
As far as Coulson knows, these rumors are false, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has indeed encountered some real time and space confusion events, and their basic characteristics are consistent with the above.
"Then we temporarily name this alien space 'Fog World'. Now we know that all the thick fogs may lead to the same mysterious space, and humans who stray into the fog world may meet in the intersecting time and space."
"What if we stopped at that time?" May asked.
"Parking takes time, and when the car stops, I'm afraid we will see another thick fog." Coulson sighed and denied May's naive idea.
"Then will someone walk in?" Simmons proposed another bold idea. She said, "If someone does not use any means of transportation but strays into the fog world, and then meets another person walking forward, can the two of them communicate?"
"Maybe, but what's the point?" Fitz tilted his head and said, and suddenly he reacted, looking at Coulson and said, "If the time in the fog world is disordered, then we may meet people from the past or the future."
The car ran out of gas.
Bruce slowly rolled down the window, got out of the car again, looked around, fiddled with his phone, and found that there was no signal, so he could only lean against the car and sigh.
Aisha got out of the car again, walked to Bruce's side, tugged at his clothes and said, "Look, is there a person over there?"
"Of course there is a person over there, he has been standing there for a long time." Bruce said unhappily. He thought Aisha was referring to the figure at the end of the thick fog. Since they started driving, the figure has been standing in the distance and is still in the distance now.
"No, he is coming."
Bruce was startled and hurriedly looked in the direction Aisha pointed. There was indeed a figure there, and he was walking towards this side in big strides.
Bruce immediately took a few steps back, looking a little terrified. He thought it was the monster in the fog rushing over.
As a result, a young man in a sweatshirt came out of the fog.
"Hello, do you know where this is? How far is it from Livermore National Laboratory?"
