Chapter 148 The Tornado Strikes, and the Third Son Arrives!
The next day.
Peter repairs cars on the farm.
Azu went to school, Star-Lord was tinkering with his gadgets in the room, and Clark was beside him to help him.
He didn't dare let Clark go to school now.
If he lost control of his ability and smashed the students on the roadside, it would be completely over.
"Godfather, what should Mr. Lenno Luther do? He doesn't seem to believe our explanation."
Clark asked worriedly.
"Although he doesn't believe it, he won't act rashly. He's a smart man, so don't worry."
As Peter said this, he asked Clark to pass the wrench next to him.
Clark handed him the wrench and asked: "Godfather, is Mr. Luther a good person? Dad has a low opinion of him, but Godfather, you said that he is not a bad and pure person. Is this true?"
Peter shook his head and said to Clark: "This world does not simply divide people into good guys and bad guys. It seems that good guys should be angels and bad guys should be devils. But, Clark, if you like to watch Nietzsche, you should know that this is not consistent. How the world works, right?”
Clark was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, Godfather."
He thought for a while and said to Peter: "Nietzsche said that we will divide people into self-sacrificing 'good guys' and selfish 'bad guys', because the weak don't want to be dominated by the strong, but they can't defeat them, so in order to vent their anger , label them as ‘evil’ and call themselves ‘good’.”
"He also said that if someone hits you on one side of your face and you bring the other side up to hit them, it's probably because you feel you don't have the power to fight back, and the only way to satisfy your sense of revenge is to stick it to the stronger person. Labeled as a bad guy, in his view, the 'natural' values are not good and evil, but strength and weakness."
After a pause, Clark pursed his lips and said, "I don't think what he said is right, although many times what he said makes sense."
"wrong?"
Peter looked at Clark in surprise.
Does this kid have his own independent philosophical thoughts?
"Because kindness and humility can never be described as 'incompetence without revenge' or 'mean cowardice.' Isn't the reason why human beings are great precisely because they have sympathy and emotional resonance with others?"
Clark was a little embarrassed to express his opinion, and asked Peter unconfidently: "Godfather, do you think what I said is right?"
Peter was stunned for a moment and touched Clark's hair, "Nietzsche is great, but sometimes, he is more like a cruel and bloodthirsty guy. He dismisses the harm suffered by ordinary people and even thinks it is appropriate, regardless of the doctrine. , be it democracy, the privileges of the majority do not exist in Nietzsche’s dictionary.”
"so."
Peter paused and said to him: "Godfather thinks you are right."
"Okay, lift the car up for me. I want to take a look at the chassis. Don't use too much force to avoid throwing the car out."
Peter asked Clark to help lift the car, while telling him to be careful.
Clark nodded and put his hand on the car, trying to lift it up.
But no matter how hard I tried, I found that the car wouldn't move at all.
Finally, he looked at Peter awkwardly and said, "Well, Godfather, I don't think I can do it anymore."
Peter: "."
At night, Peter watched the news on the TV station.
"The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for the Kansas area and labeled the warning as 'particularly hazardous conditions.' The Storm Prediction Center said that multiple tornadoes may occur in parts of Kansas and Oklahoma, including several. The outbreak may be severe. For the safety of the people, life and property, please take precautions.”
"tornado?"
Watching the news on the TV, Peter raised his head and cast his gaze out into the dark night.
First it was sunspots, then it was extreme weather like tornadoes.
Is it caused by the World Tree?
I remember that when the World Tree came, it caused a small earthquake in the town, followed by a series of extreme weather.
Ever since the arrival of the World Tree, it has been a troubled time.
Peter stood up and walked to the window, looking at the ash trees in the courtyard.
Then he glanced down at his watch.
The pointer is already infinitely close to the end, and the arrival of the third baby should be within a few days.
If Smallwell encounters a tornado by then, it will become troublesome.
"Dad, are we leaving Smallville like we did last time when we escaped the wildfire?"
Azu asked Peter with a frown.
"Not necessarily, it depends on the strength of the wind and whether the tornado will affect this place."
Although he said this, his brows still wrinkled.
Three days later, Peter received a notice that the residents of Smallville were to evacuate the town to avoid an incoming tornado.
"12 hours to evacuate."
Peter glanced at his watch and frowned even more.
The arrival of the third baby was getting closer and closer, and there was no way he was leaving at this time.
"Okay, Star-Lord, go pack your things, and John will drive the livestock to the underground shelter."
Peter ordered to the two of them: "Move quickly."
Azu and Star-Lord hurriedly split up to do their own things.
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and the leaves and crops that were picked up were knocked around randomly.
Under the strong wind, the soil and sand were rolled up, and the whole sky was gray.
Only the World Tree in the courtyard has been standing upright like a rock.
After Star-Lord packed up his things and Azu drove the livestock into the basement, Peter drove the two of them towards Kent Farm in the car.
At the farm, Peter got out of the car, and after saying a few pleasantries to Jonathan and his wife who came up to greet him, he asked the other party to take Star-Lord and Azu away first.
"Dad, won't you come with us?"
Azu asked him in surprise.
He thought Peter was driving him away, but he didn't expect his father to stay.
"I'll meet you later. You follow Uncle Jonathan and leave first."
Peter comforted the two of them.
"No, Dad."
Azu refused directly and said in a serious tone: "I want to stay with you."
Star-Lord on the side also quickly said: "Dad, I won't leave either, I will follow you."
"Aren't you disobedient?"
Peter glared at the two of them, then took a deep breath to calm down, "Have you forgotten? Dad is not an ordinary person. This kind of natural disaster can't hurt me easily."
"But."
Azu wanted to say something more, but Peter patted him on the shoulder and said, "John, you still have to take care of your brother."
After hesitating, Azu glanced at Star-Lord, and finally nodded helplessly.
"Dad, can you promise me that you will come to me safely?" Star-Lord came over and asked him worriedly.
"Of course, Dad promises you."
With that said, Peter handed the cage containing Rocket Raccoon to Star-Lord, "You also have to promise dad to take good care of Rocket, can you do it?"
"I will, Dad."
Star-Lord nodded heavily.
As night fell, the weather became worse.
Strong winds, accompanied by howls of heavy rain, hit the entire Smallville.
There were bursts of thunder, and heavy rain roared from the sky.
On the road outside Smallwell Town, residents leaving the town drove forward slowly in their cars.
Because of the weather, the car was traveling very slowly.
"Squeak!"
Jonathan stepped on the brakes, looked helplessly at the stopped car in front of him, and said, "There must have been an accident ahead."
Azu looked worriedly at the rain outside the window, thinking about the situation of the farm and his father.
After waiting for so long and still not seeing Peter coming, this made him even more worried.
Seeing the car stop, he made up his mind, opened the door and got out of the car.
Before Jonathan and Martha could react, Azu disappeared in the back seat in an instant.
Star-Lord didn't react. It wasn't until Azu's figure disappeared in front of him that he knew what the other party was doing.
Seeing Azu leaving, Star-Lord also anxiously wanted to get out of the car, but Clark grabbed him.
Seeing Star-Lord's anxious look, Martha quickly comforted him, "Calm down, Star-Lord, you don't believe your father anymore?"
Looking at the heavy rain and continuous thunder outside, Star-Lord said anxiously: "But, John..."
Although Clark was also worried about his godfather's condition, he still calmly advised Star-Lord: "John can fly, he will be fine."
On the other side, near Padric Farm.
Martha McConaughey set out from school, but her evacuation was delayed due to student arrangements.
Driving the car, she rushed out of the town as fast as she could.
Wiping the rain off her face, she was almost soaked. She looked down at the time and stepped on the accelerator.
As the car drove to Padrick's farm, she accidentally saw that the farm lights were still on.
And through the blurred car window, I saw what seemed to be a figure in the farm.
Is that Peter, or Peter's two children?
No matter who it is, the other party is in danger now.
Although her mind told her that she should drive away immediately, her emotions still couldn't do it.
After all, Peter saved himself once.
Gritting her teeth, Martha took out an umbrella, got out of the car, braved the heavy rain, and walked toward the farm, stepping on the muddy ground step by step.
On the farm, Peter stood under the World Tree, staring at the watch on his wrist.
The hands of the watch are close to the end.
As he watched, there was a "click" and the pointer reached the end point.
Peter raised his head suddenly, and the World Tree in front of him suddenly let out a dense aura, quickly surrounding him.
His whole body was instantly placed in the boundless void, and then there was a "swish" sound, and a stream of colorful light flew towards him.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Peter grabbed the streamer.
With a "bang" sound, a blue-skinned baby fell into his arms.
At the same time, a vast amount of information poured into his mind.
