Chapter 657 The general fell! (Crazy Saturday 35)
‘Citizen? ’ A strange idea came to Pennyworth’s mind: ‘Could it be that these soldiers are protecting citizens and a group of ordinary people to escape? Is that why they are constantly attracting monster firepower here? ’
Why?
Pennyworth was puzzled. He couldn't understand why it was necessary to sacrifice the lives of many elite soldiers to protect a group of ordinary citizens.
Aren't the lives of soldiers less valuable than those of citizens?
Maybe it's because there are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries among them.
Pennyworth thinks he has the answer.
Thinking of this, Pennyworth's attention was no longer focused on this issue, but rather curious about the man's strength.
How did he take over that cement slab?
However, the scene quickly changed and the soldiers returned to the safe area.
Completely different from what Pennyworth thought, there were no high-ranking officials or dignitaries here. According to the comments of people around them, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries had long since fled to the space station.
‘What is a space station? ’
Pennyworth discovered a brand new term.
‘Since there are no high-ranking officials or dignitaries, why do we have to sacrifice soldiers? ’
'Pennyworth' held an assault rifle in his hand and found a corner to sit down. This battle had exhausted him.
Just when he was drowsy, a plant that he had never seen before but looked very familiar was brought to Pennyworth's eyes.
【flower】
Pennyworth immediately knew the name of the plant.
"Thank you for chasing away the monster and saving me."
The girl holding a bouquet of flowers thanked 'Pennyworth', and 'Pennyworth' pursed her lips and took the flowers. But one thought couldn't help but surge wildly from my heart: I must kill that damn monster! must!
For [flowers] and [children]
Pennyworth was stunned. He remembered why this bouquet of flowers looked so familiar to him. It was part of the Pennyworth family emblem!
Flowers protected by steel, this is the true meaning of the Pennyworth family emblem!
‘It’s difficult, isn’t it! ’
An idea came to Pennyworth's mind, maybe
As time goes by, the young soldier is no longer young. He still insists on the front line against the monster. However, the monster is too powerful. Even the guy with super powers cannot fight the monster head-on.
‘If you want to defeat a monster, you must be of the same size as him. ’
Mecha! !
Pennyworth's eyes widened, mecha! This is talking about mecha!
That speculation was almost completely confirmed by Pennyworth as true - perhaps this was the experience of the first generation of Iron Pennyworth!
In this way, the soldier changed his job and became a mecha developer. He didn't understand this at all, but for the sake of his children and flowers, he was determined to do it!
Fortunately, he is not alone. He has met many like-minded friends, including Van Helsing, who likes to chatter; Daniel, who was once a monk and later went down the mountain to join the army; Jameson, who is inspiring and brings information to major camps; Medical The expert, Liu Yedao, who could complete a battlefield operation as quickly as possible under the most rudimentary conditions; the Osborne who he never liked.
And most importantly, the only one of them all who has extraordinary powers, Miguel O'Hara!
Under the leadership of Miguel, the humans who stayed on the ground united to deal with the terrifying monster. They firmly believed that with human power, they would be able to defeat the monster and safeguard the hope of human civilization!
They came together and they gave themselves a name.
A person who takes revenge on the monster that destroyed our home—
--the Avengers!
Pennyworth woke up suddenly, and the story seemed to end here.
He looked at the cold wall, recalled the reason for his coma, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He clearly remembered why he was unconscious - the fist of the soldier named Cheng Xiao.
With one punch, he was knocked unconscious.
The deeper reason is what he said before.
Abandon the civilians in the fourth area and retain the vitality.
'Soldier.'
Pennyworth has always regarded himself as a soldier, and everyone in the base is a soldier. He believes that a soldier's duty is to kill monsters, and nothing else matters.
But he saw completely different soldiers in his dream. Their responsibility was not to kill the enemy, but to protect them.
Protect the civilians he used as bait.
Why?
The scene in the dream was completely different from the education he had received since he was a child. He had received the strictest education in the base since he was a child, and he was familiar with various tactics, data, and mecha driving.
But no one ever told him that a soldier's duty is to protect ordinary people who are unarmed.
His previous actions and the agreements he reached with senior officials in the third region were all in exchange for more funds for the research and development of mechas. The research and development of mechas was also to better combat monsters.
‘So. I’ve always been giving up the basics. ’
Pennyworth smiled bitterly. It didn't matter whether Cheng Xiao brought him into that dream.
He only knew that he really did something wrong.
No, it was the entire Steel Pennyworth line that did something wrong. Their ideas went astray from a long time ago.
'Osborne'
Pennyworth thought of Osborne who appeared in the dream. There is now a super company in the third area, Osborne Enterprises. Two of the six Avengers have disappeared over the years, namely Liu Yedao, who focuses on medical treatment, and Osborne, who focuses on cultural inheritance.
If there is no connection between them, no one will believe it.
Jumped out of bed and moved around.
as always.
'I wasn't unconscious for long. ’
Pennyworth opened the bedroom door, and he wanted to investigate the mystery.
But when Pennyworth walked into the former command center, the operator's words completely stopped him.
"General! You finally woke up! One month! A full month!"
"I" Pennyworth opened his mouth and pointed his finger at himself: "I was in a coma for a month?"
"yes!"
Pennyworth felt a strong sense of unreality. Putting aside everything else, if he had really been in a coma for a month, why did he still retain his original clothes and why was his body still as flexible as ever?
"By the way, General, the base has changed a lot this month, no, the whole world has changed a lot. You must be mentally prepared."
"explain."
Pennyworth braced himself.
"We are about to move the moon, so you should hurry up and prepare. By the way, the moon is a satellite 380,000 kilometers away from the surface of the earth. General? General? Someone is coming! The general is down!"
Pennyworth was still not mentally prepared enough.
