Chapter 56 Human Morality!
at last.
As Hanlu stood by the doorway, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He could also see two girls standing to the side of the doorway. He greeted Lily and Katie first, then turned back and made a fist gesture to everyone.
"Remember—absolutely! Never! Provoke him!!"
John and the Valkyrie nodded slightly.
The former has 100% trust in his best friend; the latter has been in the universe for a long time and has seen all kinds of powerful characters.
As for Icarus and Thor, the two of them stubbornly refused to accept it.
Especially Thor's eager look, as if he wanted to exchange a few blows with the other party.
Seeing that the two guys were not in good condition, Hanlu simply told them to "guard the outside" and then led John, Valkyrie and Yelena inside.
But when they stepped into the room fully armed and focused, the person who was supposed to be on high alert was sitting on a metal can, casually swinging his legs, listening to Kamala's endless complaints.
John and the Valkyrie both looked at Hanlu—this is the “apocalyptic crisis” you mentioned?
Are you sure this guy, who looks like a drug addict, has power comparable to the zombie queen?
Hanlu's face showed no sign of relaxation; on the contrary, she became even more tense.
He gently pressed down with one palm, and John and the Valkyrie moved in a fan shape, one on the left and one on the right, to surround the sentry.
The good news is that Robert Bob showed no sign of suspicion whatsoever; he simply waved to the group of people who entered.
At least during his conversation with Kamala, he gained a clearer understanding of the current situation.
Well, it's pretty much like in the movies.
In a world-ending crisis, overrunning zombies, superheroes saved the world and are about to snap their fingers to bring everyone back.
Is this good news?
For some inexplicable reason, Bob felt a sense of relief: he had actually survived the apocalypse by simply taking a nap!
Hanlu stepped forward hesitantly, simultaneously activating all the power within her body to ensure she could evolve directly to the second stage if necessary!
After all, strictly speaking, he should be the "toughest" one among everyone here.
"Um... Robert Bob, may I call you that?"
"Of course, no problem! And you don't need to be so formal..."
Looking at the imposing Asian man in front of him, Bob even felt a little embarrassed.
Having grown up in a family of violence and later becoming a homeless person on the streets, he was rarely treated with such respect.
Upon hearing Hanlu's address, he jumped off the metal can and dusted off his hospital gown, hoping to look a little more formal.
"I'm sorry, Bob, we meet like this."
Seeing that the other person was in a stable mood, Hanlu breathed a sigh of relief and her tone gradually softened.
"Um...do you need something to eat?"
"Oh? Really? I am a little hungry... Is there anything to eat around here?"
Bob looked into the other person's sincere eyes and didn't think too much about it.
And the Cold Dew solar term is actually quite sincere.
After all, he knew Bob's background: a complete slacker who was abused as a child and became homeless as an adult.
He even felt pity for the man.
He was simply wary and disgusted by that "empty" personality that was completely beyond his control.
With a flick of her fingertips, as if by magic, Hanlu produced a large loaf of bread with cream sandwiched in the middle.
"Wow... can we eat this?"
Hanlu nodded.
Bob, who was starving, took the bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
For a homeless person, such soft bread with a sweet, buttery aroma is simply the ultimate delicacy.
As for vigilance?
joke.
In his view, he was just an unlucky homeless man who had inexplicably ended up here.
They spoke to you politely and even gave you food—why suspect them for no reason?
All I can say is that Bob was actually very easy to communicate with at this point.
Watching him eat bread, Hanlu simply leaned against the metal can next to her.
"I'm sorry, Bob, I have to apologize to you first."
I brought you and this metal can here without your permission...
But I have my reasons.
Hanlu watched Bob hurriedly eating—the other choked a little while eating, so he quickly reached out and patted him on the back.
He wasn't just being polite; he genuinely felt he should apologize.
He disliked the cryptic, convoluted way superheroes spoke, and he also hated the Riddler—
Isn't it better to explain things clearly?
Besides, Bob is a good person at heart.
Even after wandering the streets and gaining unparalleled power, he still retains his true nature and even goes easy on his old friends.
Surely no one really thinks the "Thunder Force" can escape unscathed from the Sentinels?
Ha, the one who was most exhausted at the time was probably the sentry himself—if he exerted even a little force, all those people would be finished.
Therefore, Bob's moral standards are actually quite high, at least much higher than some time travelers who talk about evil cultivation, escalate things when they don't like someone, and are quick to kill their whole family.
So
It's not complicated: lay everything bare, exchange sincerity for sincerity, it's that simple.
Bob caught his breath and took the glass of mineral water that Hanlu had conjured up again.
Upon hearing the apology, he quickly waved his hand:
"No, no! I heard from Kamala that the world is too dangerous right now..."
I should thank you, otherwise I might not have survived the apocalypse.
"I know, but a mistake is a mistake. If I can, I hope I can make it up to you as much as possible."
But before that, Bob, I want to know—
Before you were placed in this petri dish, did you eat anything strange?
Or was it experimented on by someone?
At this moment, Hanlu's expression became truly serious.
For someone like him who can almost create things out of thin air, compensating anyone is not difficult.
He can conjure up gold, jewelry, gourmet food, and entertainment.
Perhaps it was because the other party possessed terrifying power that he subconsciously maintained respect.
But equally important is to admit your mistakes and correct them, and to make amends for any bad deeds you have done.
This is basic human morality.
In an apocalyptic environment, he could convince himself by saying he was "forced by circumstances," and even induce or force the other party to fall into a deep sleep if necessary.
But not anymore.
It's all over, isn't it?
Humans cannot live like beasts forever.
Now, he must first confirm one thing:
Did the sentry take drugs?
If you've taken it, what stage are you at now?
N-A-A
