Naruto System In Marvel World

Chapter 164 Who is Qualified?

"No, I refuse!"

Zhang Lan categorically rejected Aunt May's request and refused to take care of Harry and Peter instead of Aunt May.

This was obviously beyond Aunt May's expectations, and it was even more difficult for Harry and Peter to understand.

"What? Did I hear wrong, Lan, you."

Peter was on the verge of speaking, but he didn't know how to continue. He asked Zhang Lan why he refused to take care of them?

"Peter, shut up! And you, Harry."

Aunt May reprimanded Peter and stopped Harry, who was hesitant to speak, and glanced at Zhang Lan with a complicated expression, without any blame or distrust, but full of distress:

"Lan, are you tired too? I'm a doctor and nurse, and I understand how it feels when life is taken away from me. That feeling of powerlessness has always troubled me from the very beginning."

After subconsciously rejecting Aunt Mei, Zhang Lan originally thought that she would wait for Aunt Mei's reprimand, or her indifferent understanding. After all, he was just adopted, wasn't he?

Unexpectedly, it was Aunt Mei's relief that was waiting for him. A word of relief from the bottom of his heart, the tears that he had suppressed before, burst out of the embankment under this word of comfort from Aunt Mei.

Seeing Zhang Lan's reaction, Aunt Mei smiled kindly, wiped away Zhang Lan's tears with her thumb, without focus, and described the scene recalled in her mind:

"People, there is always life and death. I didn't understand it when I was a nurse at the beginning. I didn't know the meaning of life until a critical care patient I was in charge of died suddenly and died in front of me. It's precious, that feeling of powerlessness that can't be stopped before your eyes dies is a hurdle I face, which cannot be taught by textbooks and teachers."

"At that time, when I was about to resign, Ben showed up, and he and I said, 'Do you want to do your best to keep others alive, or do you let someone unknown do it?'"

"It was also at that time that I realized that with greater ability comes greater responsibility."

"The leak of the lizard potion at New York University, and the lizard potion that spread all over New York City before, I think Harry was not the only one who stopped it? I think you, Lan, should have taken most of the responsibility, right? ?"

Aunt Mei's last words made Zhang Lan couldn't help recalling many scenes in his mind, many scenes that he dared not recall when he was alone.

In the cafeteria of New York University, after Dr. Lizard threw the experimental lizard potion, even though Zhang Lan saved most of the students in the end, the severed limbs and arms in the restaurant, Zhang Lan saw the scene photos given by S.H.I.E.L.D. field!

This time, hundreds of students died!

Afterwards, the lizard potion that permeated the whole New York City was simply a purgatory on earth, human order was lost, lizardmen hunted humans, and biological parents' own children killed them.

This time, the death toll alone was tens of thousands! There are countless injuries and disabilities.

And all of this was caused by his "World Difficulty +3" at that time. Zhang Lan kept falling into boundless self-blame and boundless regret for so many days and nights.

Later, Zhang Lan struggled to perform in the "Mutant Act", blocked the Statue of Liberty on Manhattan Island, and rescued Los Angeles Airport, all in order to prevent more casualties from appearing in her own hands.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lan walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office in a daze, looked at the New York in front of him, looked at the bustling scene, and finally expressed his thoughts in front of the people closest to him:

"Peter, do you still remember the death toll in the cafeteria of New York University? I remember, a total of 241 people, including my own classmates and your teaching teacher."

"Harry, Victor's battle was really tough, but even so, 32 civilians died that time, 32 people, how many students are there in our class? This is enough for half the class. Bar?"

"There is also the lizard potion that Connors spread out, covering New York City. At that time, 13,481 people died. Do you know what 13,481 people are? Do you know that it is enough to fill a football field?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Lan was already choking up, her voice trembling violently.

"And as long as I was there at that time, as long as I arrived at the scene a little earlier, as long as I was a little bit stronger, really just a little bit stronger, I could stop them completely, and they wouldn't have to die at all."

"It's all because I'm not strong enough, you know? You know? In the 'Mutant Registration Act', I tried to justify superhumans, I want to save them, I don't want them to die like those who died tragically .”

"When I was successful, do you know what kind of eyes they looked at me when I went back to Xavier Talent Academy? At that time, I seemed to see the eyes when you were looking at me. I couldn't accept it at all. One day in the future, They will turn into corpses and lie in front of me, and their loved ones will be heartbroken, just like when I lost Uncle Ben, I can't accept it."

"Hehe, I have no way to accept that so many people will die. Obviously, as long as I am stronger, as long as I am stronger, I can save so many people, hehe"

At the end of the story, Zhang Lan stuck to the tempered glass, slid along the glass and fell to the ground, half kneeling, crying with her head buried.

How many days and nights, these thoughts tormented his heart, he showed a confident appearance in front of outsiders, never showed his inner softness, he must be strong, he must set up an example for Peter and Harry, and he never talked about it object.

Today, under the guidance of Aunt Mei, he completely opened his heart, faced the most terrifying memory in his heart, and released it to his heart's content.

The other three people in the room did not speak. Peter and Harry looked at each other, pursed their lips, took a few deep breaths, and finally couldn't hold back their tears.

The two of them never thought that Zhang Lan was under such a heavy pressure all the time.

Aunt May on one side looked at the three crying brothers, sighed lowly, helped Zhang Lan up, pulled Zhang Lan between Peter and Harry, wiped away the tears of the three brothers one by one, and looked at them seriously. face.

They were just three seventeen-year-old children, why did they provoke such a heavy pressure?

"Believe me, you have done enough, no one can do better than you, although some people still die, but that is not what you want to see, isn't it? You have saved more people, among them Including the family of the person who died, maybe the wife of this family died, but at least you saved her children, her husband, and the father of the children, no one can accuse you of not doing enough, can you?"

Can anyone take responsibility?

No one will ever qualify but themselves.
