Seeing Russell’s resolute expression, Lin Wusheng was also somewhat moved.
Indeed, Russell had his share of tragedies.
Not only were his parents killed by hunters, but his companions were too.
He had always searched for information about his kind but only found monsters from other species. After finally befriending monsters from different species, the Bloodstone family hunted them down to near extinction.
Now, the humanoid form might be his only friend left.
No wonder Russell was so angry about the rampant slaughter.
“Alright, take him for treatment. And thoroughly search the area. There might still be survivors!”
Lin Wusheng instructed the medical type S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones nearby.
Besides the thousands of security types, S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones he brought, and several complete medical S.H.I.E.L.D. Drone teams whose role was to rescue injured civilians.
Several S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones immediately carried Russell into a nearby medical pod.
Although Russell had strong self-healing abilities, appearances still needed to be maintained.
The other S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones continued to search the area, and soon, one by one, severely injured people were excavated from the rubble.
“Dad! Please wake up! I beg you!”
[You have successfully influenced Kick-Ass Dave Lizewski, earning two hundred special influence points!]
And a cry from the rubble slightly surprised Lin Wusheng.
He turned his head to look to the side.
There, a teenager about sixteen years old was holding a middle-aged man’s corpse, sobbing continuously.
Although his face was youthful, Lin Wusheng recognized him.
It was the future Kick-Ass, a superhero with no superpowers and poor fighting skills.
“Learn to face it, young man!”
Lin Wusheng thought momentarily, walked over to him, and gently patted Dave’s back.
“Ant-Man!”
Seeing Lin Wusheng approach, a spark of surprise appeared on Dave’s sorrowful face, and he excitedly said:
“Ant-Man, I’m your fan! No, wait, Knight 01, sir! No, that’s not right, Mr. Zemo! Uh, I should just call you Knight!”
Dave’s jumbled words also showed his inner excitement.
“Is this your father? Be sorrowful, and it looks like he has passed away.”
Lin Wusheng looked down at Dave’s father’s corpse on the ground, scanned it, and indeed, there were no signs of life.
And there were no signs of mutation into an Orphnoch either; he was dead.
“I…”
Dave’s face showed grief.
He now only had his father as a relative, and with his father’s death, he had become a complete orphan.
“You need to learn to face it, you…”
Lin Wusheng was about to say something more when his eyes narrowed.
He saw a large amount of blood on Dave’s body!
The blood stains, carefully identified, were seeping from inside the clothes to the outside, meaning a ninety-nine percent chance it was Dave’s blood.
With so much blood loss, Dave couldn’t possibly be alive!
Splash!
As Dave cried, holding his father’s body, grains of sand fell away.
Lin Wusheng took a deep breath, realizing what had happened to Dave.
It seems that this future Kick-Ass did have superpowers now.
“I was watching a baseball game with Dad, and suddenly there was the noise outside, people saying monsters were attacking.
So Dad took me, he took me outside. Then, suddenly, an explosion happened, and when I woke up, my Dad was already…”
Dave sobbed while recounting his experience to Lin Wusheng.
Lin Wusheng stood quietly by his side because the young man needed someone to confide in.
After Dave finished crying and came to his senses, he turned his head resolutely and looked at Lin Wusheng:
“Mr. Zemo, I also want to become a superhero! Can I apprentice under you?”
“Young man, I must tell you something while sympathizing with your plight. The moment you wanted to become a hero, you already lost your qualifications.”
Lin Wusheng simply looked at Dave and shook his head.
Unlike Russell and Hill, Dave lacked the conviction and quality for battle. He could bear none of the Knight’s armor suits.
Perhaps he could take on the responsibilities of a Knight in the future, but for now, it was better for Lin Wusheng to refuse him.
“I…”
Hearing Lin Wusheng’s words, Dave wanted to defend himself.
But he suddenly felt a wave of despair, realizing he had no grounds for rebuttal.
Indeed, as Lin Wusheng said, he did not have the qualifications to become a hero.
He was just immersed in superhero comics fantasies; what was he?
He was just weak, not handsome, and without any natural talents.
“I understand.”
Dave nodded, looking somewhat dejected.
He let go of his father’s hand, watching as two S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones carried the body away.
He stood idly in the ruins, his shadow elongated by the setting sun.
He stood among the crowd of shadows with his head bowed, unremarkable.
Lin Wusheng looked at him, nodded, and then walked away.
He had thought Dave might suddenly transform into an Orphnoch in a rush of emotion, but it seemed he did not.
…
[New York, Brooklyn suddenly attacked by undead creatures, military bombings of the neighborhood cause thousands of casualties!]
[What exactly are undead creatures? Do gods exist?]
[Undead creatures attack New York, police useless, military laughable, Knight saves New York!]
[Jerome Lin scolds the Air Force General: What do you think life is!]
At night, the news about undead creatures dominated significant media headlines.
Various forces and countries began intense discussions about the matter.
The appearance of undead creatures was undoubtedly a heavy blow to this seemingly ordinary world!
Especially the video of the spear-wielding beetle-like undead creature explaining the origin of the undead and the details of the ultimate battle sparked intense and widespread discussion.
Many believed the beetle-like undead creature’s statements were false, overturning many established biological research perspectives.
However, many also believed everything the undead creature said, starting to worry about the future of human society.
Regardless, the existence of undead creatures had been confirmed.
In the footage, the undead creatures, despite being shot at by the military and attacked by the Knight, could not be killed, convincing most people—
This world, indeed, has creatures that cannot be killed!
This also gave many who feared death some crooked ideas.
If the cells of an undead creature could be extracted and implanted into a human body.
Could humans also obtain this undying trait?
