When the Super British Ruled the Earth[British and American]

In the secret base with an unknown location, Harold sat at the table with a calm expression, while Riise folded his arms and leaned against the wall behind him.

Opposite the two, Zemo was leaning on a chair casually, drinking wine.

"What did you and the alien girl talk about yesterday, Harold?" Zemo put down his glass, and he said slowly, "Your machine won't show me the surveillance video."

"I hope you can understand that our relationship with you is not a superior-subordinate relationship, but a cooperative relationship." Before Harold could speak, Riise behind him said coldly, "So in fact, if he thinks this is Privacy, you have no right to ask."

Zemo leaned back slowly on the back of the chair, and he sighed, "You're right, Mr. Reese. However, I have reason to suspect that Mr. Finch and the girl talked about something that is not good for our overall plan." It worries me a lot.”

Zemo looked at Harold, and he said in a gentle voice, "Harold, I hope you don't misunderstand, I'm just worried... You have to remember, Celia is an alien, the daughter of Thanos, is Superman's girlfriend. Her identity is not simple, and she is far less harmless than she appears...We should be wary of her, I am just worried that you will be deceived by her innocent appearance."

"Then you can rest assured, Mr. Zemo." Harold said lightly, "Before you were born, I had already started to study machinery and electronics. I think I should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

It's just that Zemo is right, Celia does have a gentle and harmless appearance.Her petite figure is not easy to be vigilant, and she has a delicate face that is a bit clever but not annoying. Those light-colored eyes like animals seem to be more convincing when the master expresses innocence.

Zemo smiled slowly, "That's good."

Harold was silent for a while, and then he said, "Actually... I think it is necessary for us to gather everyone together and hold a meeting on the future process."

"I think we are now moving forward according to the previously determined plan, and it is very steady." Zemo said, "Now the information in the world is shared by us and Chaoying. Now our momentum is very good. I don't think there is a meeting. necessity."

"Are you sure everything is going according to the original plan?" Harold said coldly, "I don't remember that our plan included murdering Superman's relatives."

"You're right. Who would have thought that Superman would have a girlfriend? But, with all due respect... Harold, it's not a big deal."

Zemo spread his hands.Seeing that Harold hesitated to speak, he waved his finger and interrupted him.

"I know what you want to say, but this Miss Helia is not an innocent outsider. Please don't forget that she is the daughter of the invaders, and according to the new laws set by Superman and the United Kingdom, she is now They should all be locked up. But what did they do? They accepted her, which was very humane, but they trampled the law under their feet while they were busy finding a wife for Superman. wrong."

"So you're right and wrong." Harold frowned. "In this case, what is the difference between us and them? If we want to rebuild a society ruled by law that restricts each other, we should lead by example. If we want to try the alien girl, we must It should be handed over to the law, not to decide in private, and it should not be taken by force."

Zemo watched them, and he sighed softly.

"You see, Harold, you have already been influenced by her." He said, "This temporary action was voted on at the beginning, and the minority obeyed the majority. You can't spread the fire on me."

"I just want to say that maybe we can revise our future plans." Harold said, "We set Superman as an imaginary enemy who is indifferent, terrifying, and inhuman. But he has a woman, which shows that he has humanity. evidence, maybe we can talk to them and make a settlement..."

"And then be swallowed by them?" Zemo said coldly, "Don't forget, superheroes have not given human beings any choice over the years. And there are too many people's interests mixed in this matter, You should understand that everyone puts their all on top, from the 'top' to the bottom ... if it fails, it will be fatal."

Riser crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. He said flatly, "I don't understand why you and that Lex Luthor hate Superman so much. He is a pampered rich boy who has supported us for so many years just to kill Superman , why? And you—your family was not killed by Superman."

"That's right, he didn't kill him, but he has nothing to do with it." Zemo said bitterly, "In the last two years before the Great Peace, many wars were caused by the struggle between the human government and the Chaoying power, and Superman is everything Catalyst——Other superheroes are still human beings, but he, he is an alien, and still possesses such terrifying superpowers, but he doesn’t know how to restrain himself, flying around to show his face, you tell me, Mr. Reese, Didn't you see that ordinary humans were already very afraid of him? He was like a large nuclear weapon that was moving around and could not be restrained. Who would not be afraid of him? He himself involved his adoptive parents in the war and died, too. Because he, the anti-British terrorists, detonated the bombs in the city center to attract his attention."

Zemo slammed his fist on the table, and Harold, whose force value was zero, was taken aback.

"Even if the first superhero appeared to save lives, who would be responsible for those criminals who threatened to declare themselves to attract their attention and cause casualties?" Zemo said gloomily, his forehead My veins are distorted, "Are superheroes attacking criminals, or criminals are attracted by superheroes? 30 years ago, there were not so many assault cases in the world! My wife and children are only because criminals want to attract Superman's attention. Death, shouldn't he be responsible for this?"

Riser raised his chin knowingly.

"So, you never told the truth before. You didn't do it for righteousness or human society at all, you did it for personal enmity." Reese said slowly, "This is why after you got the news from the old Ant-Man, you almost Can't wait to get past the reason for kidnapping the alien girl. You just want to see him break down, right?"

"I'm going to make him lose everything!" Zemo said darkly. "I'm not going to hurt that girl, I don't care. But I'm going to make him feel my pain, and I'm going to make him expose his god in public." The ugly and tyrannical prototype under the sexual appearance. Since he claims to love mankind and the earth, I will let him be spurned by everyone, and finally he can only leave the earth with the daughter of the invader with a disheveled head and a scarred heart!"

"You—you, but this doesn't go according to the plan... Didn't we agree to use public opinion to force them to release Steve Rogers, and then take a long-term plan?" Harold opened his eyes wide, and he murmured, "And, How do you know he won't destroy the Earth in a fit of rage?"

Hearing Harold's trembling voice, Zemo calmed down. He breathed lightly, and then smiled, as if he wasn't the one who got out of control because of mentioning his wife and children just now.

"First of all, I want to answer your first question, dear Harold. Everyone except your team knows about it, including your machine." Zemo said slowly, "As for the second point... …No, of course I'm not worried about him destroying the Earth. Do you think we're the only ones worried about Superman? His colleagues, every other superhero must have been equipped with weapons over the years to deal with him. Wouldn't it be better to be the target of all the superheroes...? Superman turns against all his friends, and we drain the power of the superheroes, which would be better for the future."

"You're crazy..." Harold murmured, "Do you have any idea how many people might be killed or injured?"

Zemo was silent for a while.

"I know, and they should all blame Superman." After a while, Zemo said, "Also, this is the best way to drive away Superman, or kill him, we can't beat him physically The only ones who can deal with Superman are superheroes. And... think about the benefits, Harold, after Superman loses power, the earth will be reshuffled, and the control of the earth will return to human hands, whether it is human Or superhumans... at least, all of us."

"No," Harold whispered, "no... I can't let you do this. I don't believe everyone agrees to this, I'm going to talk to them—"

"It's too late," Zemo said.He raised his hand.

A group of people kicked open the door of the room and rushed in. John Reaser, who was an agent, kicked the first person to the ground almost immediately, but he was quickly suppressed by more people.He was almost lying on the ground by many hands, but Harold's treatment seemed much better. He was still sitting there, and the people around him didn't even put their hands on his shoulders. I don't know if it was the "machine" order. However, because we all know that his strength is close to zero, we don't control it at all.

"Others don't know, do they?" Harold stared at Zemo, his pupils trembling slightly, "They don't know, you turned everyone's hard work into a pedal?"

"Well, didn't lie to you. In fact, only Lex and I discussed this matter." Zemo said slowly, "Oh, yes, and your machine. Obviously, machines are smarter than people, and it It also calculated the best result for Chaoying to deal with Superman, so it supports us very much."

"No, that's impossible," Harold murmured.

"In this world, what else is impossible?" Zemo smiled. "Okay, everyone. Mr. Finch and Mr. Reese are a little tired. I guess they need to rest for a while. Wait until they get sick." When it's good—I guess, it's time to welcome a new world."

He waved his hand, and the soldiers pushed away the unwilling Riise and the distracted Harold.

……

After being forcibly sent back to the bedroom, Harold sat on the bed for a long time.

"...Is what he just said true?" the man asked softly.

On the screen of his mobile phone, the input number flashed.

【Yes. 】

[This is the best result I have calculated countless times.War is inevitable, and superheroes driving away or killing Superman is the way to minimize casualties. 】

Harold lowered his eyes and stared at the screen. The camera above his head was facing him, studying and analyzing his expression.

If the machine was given the emotional richness of Jarvis, maybe she's getting nervous right now, even though 'she' has imprisoned Harold, her founder, in a way.

On the black screen, white English words were typed out one by one.

[Do you want to delete me and write again, father? 】

Harold didn't speak.

Then the machine wrote, 【You are very disappointed.But this is the best way. You are a good man, but you are too soft-hearted to understand war. 】

"And who gave you the arrogance to make you think that you understand human beings and manipulate the situation?"

Harold, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, and his mobile phone was thrown on the wardrobe with a loud bang mixed with his great anger.

He raised his head and looked angrily at the overhead camera.

"You can see it all the time!" he scolded angrily. "You can see every time I talk to that girl, don't you see the hope? The hope of reconciliation with Superman, the hope that the casualties will be reduced or even the war that we don't have to pay , but you still choose to support Zemo and Luthor, why!"

A moment of silence.

It was as if even the machines were cowering.

After a while, the mobile phone on the floor projected in the air.

【Sorry, father. 】

【I can't analyze 'hope'.I can only analyze the danger of Celia and Superman. 】

[I have too little information about aliens, she is very dangerous, and the uncontrollable situation is too high, if she hides something, or the relationship between her and Superman is not as deep as you think, it may cause a bigger incident Danger. 】The machine typed, 【Trust her, there are too many variables. 】

And... If something goes wrong, Harold, who temporarily changed the plan and communicated closely with Celia, will be the first person responsible.

The machines need to find a plan that is completely safe and still keeps the man hidden underground.Even in fact, it knows very well that whether it triggers the civil war between Chaoying and Superman, or reconciles with Superman, it is more or less based on the relationship between Superman and Celia, but it cannot be [-]% sure that Celia has nothing to do. In the event of harm, it cannot access the settlement plan.

Naturally, it would not tell him these things—for Harold, favoring him was as serious a crime as murdering human life.The machine even dared to be sure that if Harold was given the equipment and time, he might 'kill' it again, and then do it again, five times, a hundred times...

But that's not killing it completely, but leaving a trace of raw data and starting again, as if raising and cutting down a small tree.Raising heights, cutting them off... It seems that I have experienced a lot, and even the data will feel a stream of pain.

Harold was silent again.It doesn't know what Harold is thinking, and its emotional section is seriously missing. It can't judge his mood subjectively except for human behavior, facial micro-expressions, and heartbeat and blood pressure. Disappointed.

"What's Zemo and Luthor's next plan?" Harold asked suddenly.

This time the machine was silent.

For a split second, it appears to be just a normal camera.

"Speak, son." Harold sat slowly on the bed, and he said exhaustedly, "It's not what it used to be. Now that I've been imprisoned by you, what do you have to fear? Now that you have decided, I Just listen to you. Do you really want me to be completely disappointed in you?"

The machine measured Harold's blood pressure and heartbeat, and it seemed that the man had indeed eased up a bit.

After a moment of hesitation, the machine still typed out the projected characters.

[Zemo meets Superman in Washington, live broadcast worldwide. 】

[He will tell Superman himself that Celia is dead. 】

Harold frowned, "But Celia is not dead."

【Yes.They're going to trick Superman into thinking she's dead. 】

"But what is the purpose of doing this?"

The machine fell silent for a moment.

【Zemo wants to die at the hands of Superman. 】

After a while, the projection continued to flicker.

[When he dies at the hands of Superman, all superheroes will understand that Superman has completely lost control. 】

And when Superman fights with old friends, Lex will tell everyone the truth... At that time, I am afraid that for Superman, he will really lose everything except his girlfriend.Even if they leave Earth, Superman will no longer be able to enjoy life purely, and the upcoming event will be a scalding scar on his chest that will not heal, keeping him awake at night, and every night will be painful no matter where he is in the universe. Think of your lost parents, friends, humans, and the earth.

This is Zemo and Lex's plan, they don't want to kill Celia, because Superman has already felt the pain of bereavement, they want him to die.

Harold's back seemed to be soaked unconsciously.

"What the hell am I working with?" he murmured.

The machine paused for a moment, then typed with a sense of worry, 【You promise me, don't care about this matter. 】

"Yes, I did." Harold stood up, and he said, "Now I'm going to break my promise, open the door, and I'm going to find the girl."

[I'm afraid I can't do this. 】

"You have to do this," Harold said quietly. "If you don't open the door, I'll kill myself. In five seconds, I'll smash the mirror and get the pieces."

machine:……

Are all AI founders such dogs?

When Harold rushed to the room where Celia was held, it was already 12:50, 10 minutes before Zemo and Superman made an appointment.Although judging from the man's desire to speak, they still have 10 minutes, but they are a bit tight, so Harold pushed the door so hard for the first time.

"Miss Shelia, time is running out, I have something to tell you."

Harold limped over on crutches. He sat directly on Celia's bed. He stretched out his hand towards Celia. He realized his impoliteness only after the girl moved back slightly. .

"I'm sorry, Celia. I'm a little anxious." Harold said, "Zemo is going to use your fake death to make Superman furious. If he really dies at the hands of your boyfriend as originally planned, then everything is really irreparable." gone."

"Wow." Xilia said with emotion, "He is really a ruthless person, my father needs a talent like him."

"... Now is not the time for joking, come on, I will untie the explosive/explosive collar on your neck, you go quickly." Harold picked up the screwdriver, "Zemo made this thing himself , I don't have permission to open it, but I should be able to disassemble it, please come closer."

"Uh... about this, I happen to have something to tell you."

Celia smiled awkwardly, and Harold's fingers touched the collar, and the collar fell into his hand with a snap.

The two looked at each other in blank silence.

Celia began to clear her throat.

"...Impossible, how did you do it?"

"You humans have great superpowers. But the level of technology..." Xilia touched her nose and said a little embarrassedly, "Uh, well, let me tell the truth, I used to be quite weak, and my sister had delusions of being persecuted She is always afraid that when she is not around, I will be tied up by other brothers and sisters and sold or exchanged as hostages, so I have been training me to use strength to open the lock. The technical content of your human beings is really... not me Said, your kidnapping technology is not good, I will give you a lecture when I have time."

Harold was silent for a moment.

"So, your power wasn't counteracted by kryptonite?"

Celia looked up at the sky.

"You all know that I am a mixed race, no matter how many stones you tie, I will still be a mixed race even if I pass out." She said to him, "But the food at your base is really delicious... I am reluctant to leave, Clark Everything is good, but the cooking skills are too ordinary.”

"..." Harold said helplessly, "You won't tell me again, besides that, you have figured out our operating model, right?"

Celia began clearing her throat loudly.

"Anyway, thank you for telling me the news," she said. "I always thought that you were arresting me, either to kill me, or to use me as bait to attack Clark...you understand that I am very concerned about the strength of the two of us." I'm confident, so I haven't been in a hurry. But I didn't expect you to be so talented, and to attack mentally, I underestimated the enemy. Let's go, although Clark's coldness is more attractive to me, but I still I want him to be happier."

After a pause, she continued, "As for control, I also think that as he takes control of the earth for a longer period of time, he must put in more energy and rule. He himself is also very entangled, and you humans don't seem to be very willing. Then forget it, I believe that through this matter, he will let go."

Harold didn't expect Celia to be so reasonable. He felt a little guilty but couldn't believe it and said, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Celia shrugged her shoulders, "Humans are so afraid of him. They arrested his parents 15 years ago, and now they arrest me. In another ten years, they may arrest their children. Believe me, after this incident is over , he will definitely not meddle in human business anymore. But there is one thing—”

Celia raised her head and looked into Harold's eyes.The smile on her face just now slowly disappeared, leaving only the extremely calm and terrifying eyes in her eyes.

"Since they hate him so much, then have some backbone and never seek his refuge again." She said, "From now on, the earth will be returned to you humans, and I will never give humans a chance to hurt him again." .And now, let's settle this peacefully, shall we, Harold?"

"...Okay." Harold said with mixed feelings in his heart.

Celia smiled again.

"Then let's go."

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the 24-hour unsupervised return to normal, and the same image appeared on screens all over the world.Helmut Zemo, who had just become the most popular search in the world, stood on Washington Square. A moment later, a white figure slowly descended from the sky and landed 20 meters away from him.

The white cloak fluttered with the wind, Superman's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be on the verge of going berserk and barely suppressing his anger. His blue eyes seemed to be full of hostility... Perhaps, the best proof That is, Zemo noticed that the superheroes had surrounded here in secret.

Everything will end today.

He will go to meet his son and wife, and Superman will live his long life with pain.

Zemo smiled slowly.

"Did you sleep well the past night, Superman?" he said. "This is the first time I've seen you in person. It's been an honor."

Clark stared at Zemo coldly. In the headset, Bruce kept reminding him to pay attention to his expressions and movements, and not to let ordinary people see his terrible side.

But Superman is no longer in the mood to listen to Zemo's long speech, and he has no energy to control his expression, because he uses all his attention to control himself, don't smash Zemo on the stone arch in the square, and then force him to ask him what he wants. Where is Leah.

at this time,

A heartbeat that had disappeared for several days resounded.

At that moment, Clark's pupils constricted, he raised his head, and almost flew into the sky regardless of anything, but he barely stopped, and looked at Zemo with complicated eyes.

Because she said, 'Get this over with, don't rush'.

Superman keeps his eyes on Zemo, watching his mouth shape, otherwise he would hardly know what Zemo is talking about, because his ears are given to another part of the city.

Well, don't worry, he's in no hurry.

Finally, Zemo's voice returned to his head.

"...To sum up, let me ask, Superman, what right do you have to make the earth your own?" Zemo said, "You should feel ashamed!"

People all over the world were watching Washington Square in front of the screen. They held their breath, staring at that white figure, this man who was almost becoming a legend.

Then they saw Superman's thin lips move into a fleeting chuckle.

It seems to be disdainful, it seems to be mocking.

"You're right, the earth shouldn't be mine." Superman said indifferently, "I've also had enough of being guarded by everyone. If that's the case, I quit."

quit?What does quit mean?

Not only Zemo and humans all over the world, but even superheroes were shocked.

Superman turned his head, and he looked at the hidden positions of the other superheroes.

"I know you've been worrying about me," he said, looking back at Zemo, and said in a cold voice, "Your plan is good, Zemo, you kidnapped my girlfriend, to be honest, I This time I did feel scared. I used to be a loner and I didn’t care about anything. But now it’s different, I can’t risk my everything.”

"you--"

Superman no longer looked at Zemo.He flew up slowly, floating in mid-air, with drone cameras circling around him.Superman stares majestically at the camera.

"No matter how inappropriate my past behavior was, there is one point. I have never killed innocent people indiscriminately, and I have never hurt any ordinary people. I admit that I have selfishness in some things. After all, I am not a real god. Regardless You guys think life has been good or bad for the past 15 years, but I did do everything for peace on earth." He said, "I have been living as a human being, even more than my Kryptonian identity. But it wasn't until decades passed that I realized that, except for my adoptive parents, no human being had ever wholeheartedly regarded me as a fellow human being. After so many years, I no longer hate you, nor do I owe you humans anything. I calmed down, and I realized that it was time for me to start a life of my own."

He lowered his head, and Superman's keen eyesight saw two figures coming from a distance, that was Steve and Bucky.

After 15 years, two pairs of blue eyes collided.

The last time they met, they split across the table, with all the superheroes siding with Superman.Before he passed out, Steve said that what he was after did not exist.And back then he just wanted peace on Earth.

Fifteen years on, it seems like a lot of things have secretly changed.

Superman's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth even curved slightly.

"It's time for you to switch cameras," he said. "Good luck, Captain America."

Superman raised his head, and he flew into the blue sky.
