Chapter 1304: Ruthless Ignorance Unexpected Changes
Westen's tone of voice was very helpless. In fact, that's exactly what they're facing.
If it weren't for the predicament, how could they have risked violating the rules of Radiance City to appear in this place. If it weren't for their helplessness, how could they casually offend human capitalists like the Holocaust without even caring about their own safety?
Now they are like a swarm of headless flies, completely blindfolded. And the Holocaust was just one of the targets they had found in this chaos. Even if they found him, they didn't know exactly what they were going to get out of the Scoah. No investigation, no evidence. They pestered him, in fact, it was just a kind of dazed and ignorant move.
The catastrophe has already been seen. It's just that he never thought that this group of people would actually hit themselves with their ideas when they couldn't get the results they wanted. This made him sneer immediately.
"What? Do I look a lot like Santa Claus? Let you think that if you make a wish, I will grant you. It's stupid, and it's stupid and ridiculous. If that's what you're thinking, why don't you go and go straight to Osborne and see if he'll be willing to grant your request? ”
"No, we can't go to him. If he finds out about our existence, those of our relatives and friends will be doomed. We can't take that risk, absolutely not. ”
Before Westen could speak, a girl who was not very old was already shouting before him. She was emotional, one might even say scared. And after he showed such a look, Westen immediately hugged her and calmed her emotions.
Seriously, this appeasement doesn't have any obvious effect. Because maybe he calmed this one, but he couldn't control the minds of the others. Their overall mood is restless and fearful. For Osborne, for all that he might face, they were simply not as strong as they had shown before.
Think about it, a group of people who are just this age have to face one of the most powerful forces in this society. Even if this is only powerful for ordinary people, it is still an irresistible behemoth for them. There is no retreat, no evasion, this is already a manifestation of their courage. It is simply an impractical question to expect them to fight to the end without fear. After all, this is reality, not some kind of movie. None of them thought they could have the same luck as the main character in the movie.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and almost everyone remained silent. Havoc was silent because he wanted to see what these young mutants were talking about. The young men were silent because they didn't know how to talk to the Catastrophe.
Havoc says they're mutants, and they don't know if they should believe it or not. And even if he was telling the truth, they weren't sure they could get his help. Because Havoc's character was bad enough, they simply didn't have the strength to convince him.
However, it has reached this point, and many things are already qualified without hesitation. Westen knew that his gang was a true rabble, and that with their strength alone, it was impossible to accomplish what they were pursuing. They must need help, and in its current form, the Holocaust is the only one who can help them. So even though he knew that this guy with a bad personality was likely to sneer at them again, he still mustered up the courage to state the catastrophe in this way.
"Mr. Reinhardt, I know that we have behaved rudely before, and I know that our actions have offended you. But be assured, we really didn't mean to do that. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way around, we would never have done such a thing. We are forced! Other than that, we simply don't have any other way? ”
"Forced? Who forced you? Picking at his finger, the catastrophe's answer was obviously a little careless. And looking at his attitude, some people in Westen's group immediately couldn't help but want to do something to him.
They were all young men with strong blood, how could they endure such an almost humiliating attitude. And just as they were about to make a move, Westen stopped them again.
He was well aware that the impulses of these people were of no use. He himself is the strongest one in this group of people, and even he is not an opponent of the catastrophe, what can these people do when they go up? It's just self-inflicted humiliation.
And if it's self-inflicted, forget it. After all, your face is your own, and you don't even care about yourself, so naturally you can't expect others to carry it for you. But it's far from that simple. The Holocaust was one of their few hopes now, and it was okay to provoke him to be humiliated, but if the possibility of him helping his group was destroyed, then they would really despair.
For the good of the collective, for their goals. He must not watch things go in the worst direction. So he could only stop these people around him, and pleaded with the catastrophe again.
"Mr. Reinhardt, you don't understand our situation. We really don't have any other way. Unlike powerful people like you, we're all guys who don't have much skills. And because of this, when our friends and relatives have been kidnapped one by one, we can only do a futile effort after the fact, as we are now. ”
"Because there is no evidence, Huiyao City can't help us uphold justice at all. Because we don't have that kind of power, we can't force Osborne to hand over our friends and relatives? In such a situation, we can only do everything we can to find the evidence that we don't know how to find. That's why we came to you, because we don't see any hope, so we can only blindly look for any possible hope. We are weak, and we can't do anything without help. So, even if it's sympathy, it's pity. Please, have mercy on us, help us. ”
Westen's claim was not refuted in any way, and it was clear that, as he said, they were really a poor bunch of powerless people. It may sound a little ridiculous, because they are mutants, mutants who are envied for their power. But even mutants have a lot of helplessness and bitterness.
After all, not every mutant can be as powerful as Magneto, as beautiful as Wanda and Quicksilver. Many of them are actually not much better than the average person. In the eyes of those who have power, they are simply no different from ordinary people. So naturally, when some forces look at them, they are powerless.
Whoever such a thing happens is a tragedy. And if it is a kind-hearted person, I will also provide them with some help if I can. But the Holocaust is not a man of good will. So he didn't have any intention of helping these mutants who met in the water. And he quickly made this clear to them in words.
"Sorry, boys. I'm not a compassionate person, and if you ask me for help, you're definitely looking for the wrong person. Here's some advice, and if you have proof, try to get help from the U.S. government or superheroes. They should be more willing to do this kind of helpful thing! ”
"Damn it, you cold-blooded bastard. Don't you have a little compassion? We're all mutants, haven't you even forgotten your race? ”
The words of the Catastrophe immediately summoned the condemnation of some mutants. And for such a denunciation, the catastrophe only showed a painless smile.
"Why should I help you? Just one such identity? Don't be funny, kids! It's a real world. These things are simply worthless! Go find someone who can really help you, and don't waste my time here. I don't have that much time to waste on you. Now, get out of front of my eyes! ”
Power has always been the most powerful word in the world. When the Catastrophe said this, no matter how angry they were, these young mutants didn't dare to continue to stop it. They retreated to both sides, and watching their movements, the catastrophe smiled and turned back into the car.
The car started and moved forward as if it could not see the road clogged by the landslide. As the car moved, the huge rocks and tons of dirt disappeared into the air as if swallowed by an invisible mouth, and opened a passage directly in front of the car.
There was simply nothing to stop them from moving forward. Looking at such a situation, the group of people in Westen were both frightened and indignant. Dare to be angry but dare not speak, probably this is their current mentality. And just as they watched the car pass by them with complicated eyes, the car suddenly stopped. At the same time, a woman's voice appeared in their ears with the rolling down of the car window.
"Young man, you said that your family and friends were kidnapped by Osborne, do you have any evidence to prove it?"
The surprising question made Westen stunned for a moment, and he first glanced at the face of the catastrophe. Although the stiff face looked terrible, it did not mean to stop the woman from speaking. This made him realize something immediately, and he immediately opened his mouth to reply.
"My sister and I have a certain amount of telepathy. She sent me this message, and Osborne caught us. But then, she seemed to be isolated by something, and I was never able to contact her again. Ma'am, please help us. My sister is only sixteen years old and she's still a child! She's going to die! Please, save her! ”
