American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers! - Chapter 572
“In order to extinguish the fire, the federal government commandeered the navy ships that were fighting the fire, and also ordered the use of explosives to blow up the houses that might be burning. As a result, the explosion only intensified the fire.”
Peter said to Raven: “Don’t think that these politicians are smart people. Most of the time, they are just a group of profit-seeking guys.”
Raven imitated Peter and sighed, “That’s too bad, Dad. I saw on the news that there are still many people left in Gotham, and their lives there are miserable.”
“If possible, can we throw some supplies in there? That might help them some.”
Raven raised her eyes and looked at Peter expectantly.
Peter looked into his daughter’s eyes and reached out to touch her hair.
“sure.”
Tom, who had been silent next to him, asked Peter: “Dad, is there no news about Bruce yet?”
Since Bruce went to Washington to apply for bailout a month ago and failed, contact has been lost.
“Not yet.”
Peter shook his head and said to Tom: “But don’t worry, Bruce always does things in a measured way. He knows what he should do at what time.”
“Squeak!”
As soon as Peter finished speaking, the door to the room was pushed open and Azu walked in.
Seeing Azu coming in, everyone turned their attention to him.
Peter asked him: “How is it? John, how is the situation in Gotham?”
Azu took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.
“The situation is more serious than imagined, Dad.”
Azu took out the map that Barbara gave him and put it on the table.
The simple map of Gotham has different shapes outlined with pens of different colors and is divided into different spheres of influence.
Azu told Peter what Barbara told him about the current situation in Gotham.
Everyone in the room had different expressions after listening to Azu’s story.
Raven and Mark were feeling a little down.
Bao Bao and Wei were sitting on the sofa, probably thinking of Zu An, who was also chaotic and full of violence, and their expressions were a little uncomfortable.
Tom leaned on the banister, looking thoughtful.
Star-Lord looked at Peter hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Rhea and Kara looked at each other in confusion. They both wanted to do something, but they felt that their power was very little. Even if all the villains in Gotham were arrested, would all the problems be solved?
Things don’t seem to be that simple.
“That is to say.”
Loki coughed, interrupting everyone’s contemplation.
He put down the water glass he was holding, looked at Azu, and said, “Now, Gotham has rapidly degenerated from a modern city into a wasteland without law and order?”
“Yes.”
Azu glanced at the map drawn by Barbara on the table and said:
“There are now many factions and violence. Everyone is acting according to their own instincts. The concept of wealth in this land has changed from gold, dollars and jewelry to food, medicine and weapons. Violence and obedience have become the norm in this land. language, peace has become a forbidden language.”
“Gotham is completely ruined.”
Azu added another sentence.
After listening to Azu’s words, Peter didn’t say anything. He turned his gaze to the dark night outside.
The current situation is indeed more complicated.
What would you do if you wanted to help?
Arrest all the villains overnight like last time?
Even if the super criminals disappear, new villains will probably stand up by then. After all, violence and killing have become the only order there.
As he watched, the night grew darker and fog began to spread outside the farm.
On the second floor, Bangbang and Wei’s room.
After Peter put the two lolita into pajamas, covered them with quilts, said good night and prepared to leave.
“dad.”
Wei’s lying body stretched out her hand from the quilt and took Peter’s big hand.
“What’s wrong?”
Peter knelt down, gently held Wei’s little hand, and asked her, “Did you have another nightmare at night?”
The night before yesterday, Wei had a nightmare.
Peter thought she wanted him to wait until she fell asleep before leaving.
“No, it’s not.”
Vi glanced at Bao Bao, who was sleeping on the other crib.
When Bao Bao saw her, he turned his eyes to the side with a guilty conscience.
In fact, Wei didn’t have nightmares, it was Bang Bang who did.
But because she was afraid that she would be disliked by Peter if she spoke out, Bao Bao, who was worried about gains and losses, did not dare to say anything, so Wei had to admit to herself that she had nightmares and tell Bao Bao about what she wanted to be with him.
“Don’t worry, have you forgotten? Dad can control dreams. You will all have a sweet dream tonight.”
Peter rubbed Vi’s hair, and by the way, he also rubbed the hair next to him with his eyes wandering around.
“No, Dad, it’s not about the dream, it’s about Gotham.”
Vi squeezed Peter’s hand tangledly, “Dad, I want to help those people in Gotham.”
“Help Gotham?”
“Yes, those people reminded me of the people of Zaun. You said that the people who stayed there were poor people, immigrants, criminals, and adventurers. I think they were all abandoned like the people of Zaun. , if we have enough power, dad, we can help them.”
Peter listened to Wei’s sincere words and said nothing, just gently stroking his daughter’s hair.
He was not surprised that Wei said this.
It turns out that Wei in the world line has an impatient personality and a hot temper, but she is also brave and fearless, and has a strong sense of justice.
She is full of sympathy for the people of Gotham and is willing to help them with her own strength, which is in line with Wei’s character.
After all, this loli later became the “Legal Officer of Piltover”, and now she wants to become the “Legal Officer of Gotham”, which is understandable.
After thinking for a moment, Peter raised his head and said to her: “Of course, but you are still young, let Dad do it, I will purchase a batch of materials they urgently need and send them in tomorrow.”
This is not what Wei wants.
She hopes that her father can take her to Gotham, and then the two of them (mainly her father) will eliminate the violence there and rescue the poor from the chaotic gangs.
Pursing her lips, she wanted to say something else, but Peter gently kissed her on the forehead, “It’s getting late, go to bed early, didn’t you make an appointment with Maddie to visit her house tomorrow?”
Peter stood up and kissed the forehead of Bomb, said good night to the two, and turned to leave.
“Good night, Dad.”
Exhaling a breath, Wei lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling with a confused look.
After Baobao’s breathing became steady and he fell asleep, she quietly got out of bed and walked to the drawer, gently pulling it open.
“Kala La!”
Please…collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\Nine\Book\Bar!)
The sound of the drawer being pulled open rang faintly in the silent night.
Wei lowered her head and looked at the gloves Peter gave her in the drawer.
Looking at the gloves glowing coldly in the night, she reached out and gently picked up the gloves.
“Wei Aolai, what are you doing?”
Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
Frightened, Wei turned around and saw Baobao standing behind her in “My Little Pony” pajamas.
Baobao blinked and said to her sister: “Do you want to go to Gotham? Wei Aolai.”
“Gotham? No, of course not.”
Wei immediately denied it.
“But you took out the gloves that Dad gave you, and you wanted to use your own power to help others.”
Boom boom was smart enough to see what was on her sister’s mind.
“No, boom boom, I just felt a little uncomfortable listening to John’s story.”
Wei put the gloves in the drawer, walked to boom boom, squatted down and said to her.
“I think Wei Aole, you should listen to Dad.”
Boom boom bit his lip and said to his sister: “Didn’t Dad say that? Sometimes we can’t decide the fate of others, and we can’t help everyone.”
Unlike his sister, boom boom didn’t think those people needed help.
“On the contrary, I think there are more important things that we need to do when we grow up.”
“What do you mean, boom boom?”
Wei asked his sister.
“Compared to those people who have nothing to do with us, Wei Aole, my little monkey, aren’t your gloves used to protect Dad?”
Boom boom asked with his innocent big eyes.
Listening to boom boom’s words, Wei was stunned.
After a while, she gently held Baobao’s hands, which had become cold because she was only wearing pajamas, and said, “This is not contradictory, Baobao.”
“No, I think they are only used for this purpose.”
Baobao said something that made Wei Aolai not know how to refute.
She found that her sister had become so thoughtful.
Baobao was no longer the helpless little girl who would only follow behind her.
At the same time.
Gotham.
The cold wind blew at night, and a boy wearing a North Carolina hat walked through the deserted alley.
He held the battery he had just obtained in his hand.
Just after entering the dark and deserted alley, a scoundrel came out.
The young man slowly approached him with a gun in his hand.
“Where do you want to take the batteries?”
The boy hid the batteries behind him and replied, “Take them and exchange them for food with the Penguin, unless you can give me a higher price.”
The young man raised his gun and pointed it at him, sneering, “How about using these batteries to exchange for your life?”
“Hand it over before I blow your head off.”
The boy looked fearless, “You won’t shoot me for these batteries, because you don’t have any bullets at all. Even if you do, you won’t be willing to use them. A bullet is much more expensive than a battery.”
“You can try, I’ll only count to three, three, two”
“Swoosh!”
Before the young man finished counting, a bat dart suddenly flew over and knocked the pistol out of his hand.
The young man, with blood gushing out of his hand, squatted on the ground with a scream.
The rescued boy looked at the depths of the alley with astonishment.
“Tram! Tram! Tram!”
A figure of Batman in a cape slowly walked out from inside.
“Are you Batman?!”
The boy was incredulous.
Did he see the legendary Batman?
No, that’s not right!
How come Batman is a woman? !
