Do humans have confidence in themselves?
Honestly, not much.
In fantasy works, human beings refer to their own race as "the chronic disease of the earth" more than once.Human beings satirize their own mistakes through various forms, such as greed, desire, war, plunder
Counting the faults of this race, it seems that there are too many to count.
The darkness conceived in human hearts is quite terrifying, and Richard, the man of light, also mentioned this in front of the Avengers.Therefore, Stark does not have much hope for whether human beings can survive the assessment safely.
He raised his head and asked, "So what do you say we should do?"
"That's up to you, leaders of the Earth." The voice laughed, "The gods are coming, you have to start thinking about it quickly. As for me? I'm just a messenger. You will be unprepared, but Now I've given you twelve hours to breathe. So if I were you I'd use this time to prepare, even if it's just a pointless struggle.
That's it.Well, ladies and gentlemen, now I give you my time back.Quickly use your brains and start thinking about countermeasures. "
After speaking, the screen went black again.
Half a second later, all the systems came back online and the lights came back on.
The system of the Three Curved Wing Building returned to normal, without any record of intrusion, and everything just now was like a dream that never happened.
But the command room was still eerily quiet.
After a while, Hill turned to Stark: "Director"
All eyes were on Stark.
Stark's face was a little ugly.But it's not like he didn't expect a similar situation when he took over the responsibility of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Richard Lee, is he back yet?" Stark asked.
Hill shook his head: "No, Director. Our people have been paying attention, and there has been no response since he left Earth."
"It happens to be at such a critical time." Stark gritted his teeth, "Then prepare to hold a meeting quickly, we don't have much time, and we have to inform the heads of state of other countries. Oh, and call the Avengers. Whatever Whatever conflicts there are between us, the next thing will require all of us to work together."
Chapter 710 Three Storms Are Coming
"Are you sure this isn't someone's prank?"
Inside the Pentagon, a group of senior politicians and military leaders are surrounding Stark in the middle of the conference table, all of them look unprecedentedly dignified.
This is not a public relations crisis, not a petty fight about their jobs and public opinion.The news that Stark brings is the crisis of genocide, a disaster common to all mankind.
"Prank?" Stark raised his eyebrows, "Seriously, General. People who can easily hack into the S.H.I.E.L.D. Come here and say a few words as a joke?"
Stark shook his head.
"No, I don't think it's a prank. Besides, the other party mentioned the word 'Tenjin Group', which I have heard before."
"You mean, the opponent is a god?"
"That's right, the real one." Stark said seriously, "And if what the person who sent us the message is true, then what we are facing is not just one god, but a large number of existences like this. They represent the will of the universe, and there is no way we can win."
Several senior executives whispered to each other for a while.
"You mean we should hang our hands and wait?" one of the top executives asked.
"I mean, maybe we should save force as a backup," Stark said.
The high-level officials commotioned for a while, some shook their heads and others discussed, but they didn't seem to particularly agree with this proposal.
They are used to using force to solve problems, and negotiations and exchanges are limited to the scope of the earth.As for aliens?If this group of old guys follow the meaning, every time Thor enters and exits the atmosphere, they can't wait for an anti-aircraft missile to blow him back to his hometown of Asgard.
Whether the human species has value is debatable, but in any case humans are certainly not a hospitable race.
"Forgive me to interrupt, this time I agree with Stark's point of view, gentlemen." Captain America, who has been listening as the representative of the Avengers, took a step forward and said, "According to the intelligence, the other party is not a super villain or an invader. They It represents the order of the universe, and it only comes with the purpose of judgment.
Going to war with them is against the entire universe, and not only is our odds against us, it's also extremely unwise.Maybe we should try to resolve it peacefully.If we can leave a good impression on them, let them believe that human beings have their own value, let them see the good side of human beings, maybe things don't have to develop into swords and guns. "
An old general raised his eyebrows and looked at Captain America: "Since when did you become a diplomatic expert, Captain?"
"I'm just making a sober judgment call," the captain said.
"So according to what you said, we should arrange flowers and plants on the city streets, and then arrange a group of primary school students to put up banners saying 'Welcome to guide'?"
Captain America frowned: "I mean, at least we should try to negotiate first."
"Enough, there is no need to continue discussing this topic." An older and more stubborn guy patted the table and directly finalized the decision, "Go back and prepare for battle, Stark, and Captain, your Avengers too .
Whether it is valuable or not depends on the enemy's values.We don't know anything about those so-called gods, and maybe the other party's standards are fundamentally different from ours.So sorry, we can't pin the survival of all human beings on a single word from some unknown species.
They want to destroy us?Then we fight back, as we have against any enemy so far. "
Stark and Captain America looked at each other, speechless.
Obviously these guys haven't realized the seriousness of the problem.
These bigwigs' cognition of those extraordinary enemies is generally a reciprocating process.At the beginning, they had blind confidence in their thermal weapons, and felt that there was no problem that a single nuclear bomb could not solve.Later, after being beaten to autism one after another by monsters and invaders, they began to doubt life and feel that human weapons are worthless.
As a result, after Ultraman and the Avengers defeated various invaders time and time again and resolved any crisis, they began to take it for granted that the alien enemies were "nothing more than that", as if there was nothing to fear.
In short, this kind of thinking is a bit like the cloud players who pass the video level or watch the live broadcast of the boss. Although those gorgeous operations are not played by themselves, and the enemy is not repelled by them, but after a long time ob on the side, they will naturally There will be an illusion of "I can do it myself", as if those so-called god-level enemies are nothing more than that, nothing to be afraid of.
What?Cosmic god group?Maintainer of cosmic order?
Isn't this kind of thing over like before?
At the end of the meeting, the two former comrades-in-arms could not help but sigh after they reluctantly left the room.
