Chapter 455 Mark, You Are Not Ready to Save the World

"crow?"

Raven looked solemnly at Wu standing on the treetop outside.

She could feel the vague magic power emanating from the strange crow's body.

The dark crow standing on the treetop seemed to have noticed Raven's gaze, and immediately flapped its wings and left the farm.

Seeing the crow flying away, Raven immediately let the "Fujin" on her shoulder chase the crow.

She always felt that the crow sitting on the tree was no ordinary bird.

She wanted to tell her father immediately, but she felt that there was no evidence, and even if she told her father, it might not matter in the end.

"No matter who sent you, don't let me catch you, otherwise I will definitely deal with you and let you know the consequences of trying to trick my family's farm."

Ruiwen's eyes became sharp and she whispered to herself.

"Mark, come here and help me move the straw."

Peter shouted to Mark from the living room.

"Okay, Dad."

Mark immediately followed Peter to work in the backyard.

On the tractor, Peter removed the straw from the top and Mark helped catch it.

Although he is young, Mark seems to be stronger than his peers.

He easily caught the straw and placed it on the ground.

"dad."

While working, Mark asked him worriedly: "Will the government discover us? I mean. During the battle with Zod, Clark and the others were exposed to the public. Will the government discover them?"

Mark worries that the peaceful life on the farm will be shattered.

"No, they won't investigate here so quickly."

Peter grabbed the bundled straw and said to Mark: "But... maybe some thoughtful people will notice this, but don't worry, Mark, they will pretend not to know."

Despite what he said, Peter still decided to talk to someone from the federal government.

Martian Manhunter told himself before that the person responsible for dealing with Zod this time is General Sam Lane.

The other party is Louise's father.

Now that Louise is considered a member of her own camp, she can talk to him through Louise's relationship.

"Is it because they are afraid of their father's power?"

Mark stood up and asked Peter as he took the straw.

"It's not just fear. It should be said that we can reach a tacit understanding."

Peter straightened up from the tractor and looked at the increasingly dazzling sunlight and said.

"That's good."

Hearing what Peter said, Mark breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that after Clark and the others made so much noise, the government would come to the farm.

He wants to protect the farm for his father, but he is currently weak and not strong enough to fight against the government's power.

If both parties are safe, it should be the best outcome.

After looking at the other unpacked rice in the field, Mark asked Peter doubtfully: "Dad, why don't you use your super power to finish all the work in an instant?"

Hearing Mark's suggestion that he use super speed to finish the work, Peter's eyebrows moved, "Do it in a hurry or do it correctly? Mark."

Facing Peter's question, Mark was slightly stunned.

"I don't know, Dad, what's the difference between the two?"

"Bang!"

Peter jumped out of the car and gathered the straw at his feet.

"First when Clark was your age, no, maybe older than you, he told me that he didn't want to waste his time on the farm."

Peter stood up and faced Mark and said to him, "I asked him if growing crops is a waste of life?"

"What did Clark say? Dad."

Mark immediately took a keen interest in what Peter told Clark about Clark's childhood.

"Clark said he didn't have this idea, he just felt he could do more, he could save the world, so I asked him: Save in a hurry or save correctly?"

Peter's words gradually fascinated Mark.

"I told Clark that for so many years, countless people have told themselves that they are destined to save the world, but they always make the same mistake."

The curiosity in Mark's eyes grew stronger and he asked, "What's the mistake, Dad?"

"Think the World Wheel is saved by them."

Peter could tell that Mark had been feeling a little depressed recently.

Although Mark didn't say anything about his failure to help in the Battle of Metropolis, he was still a little concerned in his heart.

After noticing his thoughts, Peter decided to talk to Mark.

"If the world needs your salvation, it will let you know."

As Peter spoke, he looked up in the direction of the courtyard, and he suddenly heard the sound of his body's father.

My dad seems to be named Ryan Padrick, right?

The memory of his father from his previous life was already a little blurry in his mind.

After thinking about it, he said to Mark: "Did you know? My father, your grandfather, also personally saved the world."

Peter told the story that his cheap dad once told.

Although he didn’t know whether it was true or not, Peter took it out and told it to Mark.

"grandfather?"

Mark blinked and asked in surprise: "Grandpa is also a superhero?"

"No, no, he is not. That is a story that happened during World War II. At that time, your grandfather was sent to capture Saipan."

Peter told him about his personal experience that his cheap daddy had told him.

Although he suspected that this was a story relayed by someone else.

"At that time, they had been bombing the Japanese for several weeks. They were starving, severely traumatized, and in a miserable situation. However, the Japanese were even worse than them, hiding in caves and waiting to die."

Peter slowly told Mark: "One afternoon, they forced a group of Japanese out of the cave and captured them. However, one of the captives detonated a bomb on him and killed the other Japanese together. By the way, Killed half of your grandfather’s team.”

"He was bruised and bruised, and he avenged his teammates with full of anger. He never thought that someone could be so crazy and crazy. Although the Japanese were completely defeated, they never thought of surrender. It was also from that moment that your grandfather understood, They had no choice but to kill every soldier on the island."

When Mark heard this, he became nervous, worried that something might happen to his grandfather, whom he had never met.

"Every building on the island was destroyed by gunfire, so everyone was hiding in caves, soldiers and civilians alike, and you had no idea who was coming out."

Peter paused and continued: "They learned a little trick, which is to look for burning cigarettes. Only soldiers have cigarettes. They have been saving them for months, sometimes just to smoke them on such occasions, When they die."

"This is a small flaw, but it has saved your grandfather's life several times. However, it is precisely when you can't see the bright spot that you become restless, because you will keep thinking and staring at your eyes in the dark. What on earth.”

"What happened next?"

Mark asked curiously when he saw Peter stop.

"Once, your grandfather shot a ball of fire, but it was just a child, about five or six years old, who was using a lighter to light the way to the cave entrance."

Peter's tone became a little complicated, "Some people say that when you close your eyes, you will see the faces of everyone who died because of you, but the truth is actually more terrifying than this. Your grandfather told me that after a while, He won't be able to see them anymore. The dead will disappear because we need them to disappear. That's the price of our survival, that's the price we pay for the living."

Mark was silent for a moment after listening to Peter's story.

He found the story a bit heavy.

"So, Dad, are you saying that saving the world sometimes means having to hurt people?"

Mark asked Peter.

"Yes, Mark, your grandfather also tried to save the world. The world may need someone to save it, but it can also hurt those who are not prepared."

Peter reached out and touched Mark's hair, "Just like Clark, he suffered a lot of injuries in this battle. Although he was prepared, he will still be injured, so."

Peter paused, looked into Mark's eyes, and said to him slowly: "Don't worry, Mark, you don't need to feel frustrated and unhappy because you didn't stand up this time. When you mature, when you are ready, When the world needs your salvation, that’s when you need to stand up.”

Listening to Peter's words, Mark nodded seriously.

"I understand, Dad, I will improve myself and let myself face that day early."

Mark made a promise to Peter.

"Of course, I believe you."

Peter patted Mark's head happily.

far away.

Rhea listened to Peter's words and fell into deep thought.

Standing under the porch, she originally wanted to ask Peter for advice on how to control her senses.

His suddenly sensitive hearing accidentally captured the conversation between Peter and Mark.

She didn't expect that Peter would be so patient in enlightening her son.

"Save the world."

She whispered to herself: "Yes, sometimes this is a cruel thing, and someone has to die."

She thought of Jor-El.

night.

After an early dinner, Raven entered her room.

The crow "Fujin" who had returned reported to her that he had followed the strange crow.

Following them all the way, the strange crow finally disappeared into a manor in the next town.

"Maybe. Maybe I should go see for myself."

After talking to Fujin, Raven felt that maybe she should investigate it herself.

She suspected that after the Battle of Metropolis, someone or forces with malicious intentions were targeting her home.

In order to protect the farm and her family from harm, Raven decided to take action herself.

"You said I should tell dad? Fujin."

Hearing Fujin's suggestion to her, Raven shook her head, "No, I can't bother Dad with everything."

Taking a deep breath, Raven changed her clothes, waited until late at night, and quietly left the farm.
