Chapter 1252: The Trust Problem Midnight Turmoil
"Hey, man. Did you hear that? The guys from the rest of the team are cursing at our Mr. Greenskin! ”
The night was already dark, but for the agents who needed to watch over their supplies, they obviously couldn't rest. At the very least, it is impossible for them to rest until the arrival of their comrades who have changed shifts. So they had to sit here with a fire on one side and keep the basic lighting on. I listened to small talk to pass the time of boredom.
There are many topics for small talk, but in this case, the topic about Banner is undoubtedly the most attractive. And truth be told, these vaunted and proud agents actually have a lot of other ideas for Banner. The main idea was that they didn't think Banner would be a good commander to lead them to the task perfectly.
Indeed, Banner is a powerful superhero. Even among the Avengers who have changed generations several times, he is also the most top-notch existence. But it's one thing to be powerful, it's another to be commanding. In the eyes of these agents, Banner's indecisive personality was enough to make them lose basic faith in him.
Admittedly, Banner's indecision was mostly for them, for the victims, to think the deepest. But does this consideration really work? Others might answer yes, but most experienced agents will shake their heads and say no.
Indecision, that's what ordinary people should do. As a warrior, a commander on the battlefield, you must learn to be iron-blooded and ruthless, and you must be decisive in carrying out your mission.
Of course, it sounds scary. Because such people don't treat other people's lives as lives at all, they will only treat these as cold numbers, and just do addition and subtraction on them at will. However, for those true warriors who have been born and died all year round, such a commander is actually the one who can best guarantee his own life.
Although they don't like such guys, they have to admit it. A commander with a good calculation of addition and subtraction can guarantee the safety of the vast majority of people. Because they are able to accurately judge the situation, know when to sacrifice and how to sacrifice to ensure that the cost is minimal. And at this point, Banner is simply unqualified.
He was too compassionate and idealistic. This is the standard character of a good old man, if you go to be a teacher, professor or the like, you will definitely be very respected, but to be a military commander or a politician, such a person is actually cheating people. Because they don't know what war is, what sacrifice must be.
There are no immortals in war. Whether it's an agent or a soldier, he's always told this on the first day of his mission. And after a long time, this sentence will become a wise saying in their hearts. Because their own life experience will tell them that there is nothing wrong with this statement. In battle, people can die at any time and anywhere, it may be an enemy, it may be a comrade-in-arms around you, or even yourself.
No one wants to die, but no one wants to die because it's worthless. People who are accustomed to seeing life and death will ignore death while having a strong desire to survive. For them, if they must die, then it is better to die meaningfully. And Banner can't guarantee this.
The British thing is the best example of this, when Banner was almost crazy trying to save everyone. But as a result, if it weren't for a sophisticated figure like General Ross, I'm afraid that the vast majority of people would have died there. None of them could save them, they could only be part of the death toll of that disaster.
Some of them had been there, and the experience had led the agents to have a lot of opinions about Banner. They were afraid that this guy would make the same mistake again, and if that was the case, they really couldn't believe that they would return to their hometown alive.
Suffice it to say, if given the choice, they would never wish it was Banner sitting in this position. Others, whether it's Hawkeye or Iron Patriot, or Alice, they can accept it, but they just can't accept Banner. It's just a pity that they don't have the power to decide on this issue. So they can only watch Banner's every move carefully, as they are now.
Of course, this kind of attention must be indispensable. After all, he has already seen him unpleasant, so naturally no matter what he does, it is impossible to get any good evaluation. Just like it is now.
"That guy deserves it. He's a monster, we're not. It took so much effort to get here, and the slightest possible threat forced us to plant our station in that kind of place. I really don't know what he thinks. ”
Who knows, maybe he was scared in his own heart. After all, it was his first time as a commander. Now I just hope that he will come to his senses sooner and not be so suspicious. We won't be able to last much longer. ”
"We're a little better, just guarding the supplies. Those talents really can't last long. But seriously, don't you think it's weird? From the beginning to the present, we haven't seen a single living person, where have they gone? ”
"Who knows, maybe they all fled. In this case, everyone is not stupid, and someone will always find a problem with such an obvious feature as a nuclear explosion. Knowing that staying here will only get worse, they will always find a way to fend for themselves. Isn't it normal to flee to the mountains and forests or away from the nuclear bomb? ”
"Is it normal? I don't think it's normal. Like you said, everyone is not stupid. But not all of them are smart. There will always be a few people who can't think of it in their heads. They will definitely stay in the city and find a way to wait for someone else's aid. But do you see such people? ”
"Don't think about it. You haven't searched the city yet, how do you know where those people aren't hiding. Maybe tomorrow when we do a search, we'll find them. ”
"I hope so. It's all our Mr. Greenskin's work, and I'm a little nervous now. What time is it, is it time for our shift? ”
"It's just over a little over, and there's still more than an hour to change shifts. Why, you can't hold on. ”
"It was so hot that I felt a little sleepy. This place for Indians is really not a good place. ”
The two of them chatted and turned to the geography of India, and at this moment, a sudden noise came. They suddenly stopped this boring behavior of passing the time.
"Who's there? Shift change guys? "As agents, they didn't dare to casually step forward to find out, but after asking a question, they drew closer to the source of the sound with their guns in hand. If they find something and don't get a satisfactory answer, they don't mind using their weapons to solve any possible surprises. Soon, though, they realized that they didn't seem to need to shoot. Because they found out that it was actually a child who appeared under the light of their weapon.
It was a kid who looked like he was only in his teens, with a withered face and a dull look. She wears a traditional Indian sari dress with a turban around her head. Although the clothes are gorgeous, judging from the filth and damage on them, the clothes have lost their value.
But that's normal. After all, a few months have passed since the Great Tribulation, and it would be strange if anyone could keep their clothes tidy during these months. Only the ragged and haggard character, as it is now, fits the agents' definition of an Indian refugee. And it is precisely this description of the conformity, as well as the identity of this guy and girl, that the two agents slowly relaxed their original vigilance.
"Who are you and where did you come from? What about your loved ones? ”
Dealing with a child, the two agents did not interrogate him violently, but they did not interrogate him violently, but he still carefully interrogated him. Faced with such a question, the girl just raised her head with a blank expression, stared at the two agents with a pair of blank eyes, and then spat out some dry words from her mouth.
Judging from the girl's dress, she should have been born into a highly educated upper class family, so it stands to reason that she should be very familiar with English. However, I don't know if it was because she was tortured too hard by the cruel life, her voice was so hoarse that the two agents couldn't hear what she was saying.
In order to understand the situation further, they had to lean in, and they were almost close to the girl's side, and then said softly to her.
"What are you talking about? Could you please say it again? I can't hear clearly. ”
"I... I feel... Hungry, so hungry! I think... Eat... Eat. Meat! I want to eat... Meat! ”
"Meat?" Hearing such a strange request, the two agents immediately looked at each other. They still have some basic understanding of India. Because Indians have a lot of beliefs, plus many of these religions require vegetarianism. So the vast majority of Indians are vegetarians. Like such a little girl who opens her mouth to eat meat, it is really a minority.
However, the two of them were only strange for a moment. And didn't take it to heart. After all, not everyone will be like this, there will always be exceptions. And they apparently treated the little girl as an exception.
"Wait a minute, I remember we have canned beef in our supplies, I'll bring you some."
Out of kindness, and out of the demands of his mission, one of the agents immediately went to get something for her. And at this time, the girl's face changed, and she was already screaming with a hideous expression.
"Wait... Can't wait. I'm now... Is! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she lunged at the nearest agent next to her. The petite body seemed to have infinite strength, and in an instant it threw the agent to the ground. Faced with such a situation, the other agent did not hesitate to shoot at her.
The gunshot rang out, and the little girl was immediately hit by the bullet and flew away. At this time, the agent who was knocked down by her got up in shock, and said in surprise to the little girl who fell to the ground.
"Hell, what the hell is going on? Is she dead? ”
