Li Jie, Captain Rogers, and Thor Thor came to Nepal from the United States. They didn't alarm anyone because they didn't use any vehicles that required registration. Lan helped them open a space door and came to South Asia from the United States.
It wasn't particularly difficult to find the initial traces of Dr. Bruce Banner, especially since Tony Stark had kept an eye on Dr. Banner at that time. Although Dr. Banner seemed to have reminded him not to follow him before he left, Tony didn't dare to follow him. But it seemed to have backfired.
At that time, everyone was shocked. Maybe if Banner didn't say it, Tony might not have been able to react. Maybe he did it on purpose?
"That man is not easy to deal with." Lan glanced at Li Jie with some worry when she sent Li Jie and others to Nepal. She tied her long hair into a ponytail, which danced in the wind.
"Do you need me to stay and help you? At least you can retreat at any time. Dr. Banner's power to defeat Hong Hulk with one punch is too terrifying. Even some Lesser Demons may not be able to compare with him. "
However, Li Jie firmly refused Lan's proposal to stay. "No, you should go back to New York. As long as Dr. Banner is rational, he can be persuaded. We are not here to fight. "
Li Jie was determined not to let Lan in. It was a bit too dangerous. Anyway, there was a meat shield, Thor. If things didn't work out, he could just let him transform into Thor. Fatty Green and Fatty Thunder could fight each other.
So after Lan returned, only three men were left wandering the streets of Nepal.
Even walking in the capital of this country, the streets of Kathmandu still couldn't hide the poverty and dilapidation of the city.
Low and dilapidated houses could be seen everywhere. Beggars and homeless people were everywhere.
Children with emaciated faces ran after foreign tourists. Many of them had broken families like Bahadur, but they were even more unfortunate. No old monk took them in.
They had to beg in this city to make a living. Don't be afraid of them chasing you for a block. For them, a dollar casually thrown out of the pockets of foreign tourists was enough for them to eat for two or three days.
This was all for the sake of survival!
Li Jie's group was pestered by seven or eight children for a long time. In the end, Thor bought two hamburgers for all the children at a restaurant that catered to foreign tourists. Only then did they reluctantly disperse.
Burgers with bread, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and a beef patty are a common meal in many countries.
In many places, it was even labeled as junk food and discarded as worn out shoes. But for these kids, a hamburger that cost five dollars (about 300 to 400 rupees) seemed extremely luxurious in this place. Biscuits made from coarse wheat cost less than 30 rupees each. A biscuit could be used for a meal!
One hamburger could buy a dozen of these pancakes.
Most of the kids only ate half a hamburger and stopped. Some of them only took a bite. The aroma of meat loaf and cheddar cheese was strong and tempted the children's stomachs. Li Jie couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the children, but he didn't take another bite.
"What? You don't like it? "Captain Rogers looked at the children in front of him with a puzzled look.
In order to facilitate the exchange in Nepal, Captain Rogers specially took a week to learn Nepali and mastered basic conversational skills. Although he still couldn't write Nepali characters, he could still communicate in the language.
This was the effect of the real Super Soldier Serum, but only Captain Rogers had this feature: Super Learning. He learned how to play the violin in three days, mastered the piano in half a month, learned how to play "V3" and "Turkish March", learned French in a month, and mastered German in less than a month and a half to be as good as the Germans.
In half a year, he mastered all the known fighting techniques in the world and created his own shield fighting technique.
No one else had the Super Learning ability like the captain after being injected with the Super Soldier Serum. Even the Winter Soldier Plan developed by the Soviet Union was far behind, although the Winter Soldiers were very strong.
But the Super Soldier Serum was specially developed by the Holy Shield Brotherhood for Captain Rogers in this world. (The Immortal City and the Holy Shield Brotherhood mentioned that Rogers was the chosen one.)
So Captain Rogers was not only outstanding in fighting, but he was also a very good musician, linguist, dancer, etc.
So Captain Rogers was a little curious why these children didn't eat these burgers, because it seemed that they liked them very much. For Nepalis, beef was a luxury.
The beef patty in this burger weighed more than two hundred grams, which was quite a substantial amount. Maybe the children here couldn't eat so much beef in a year.
And the bread sprinkled with sesame seeds was not comparable to the coarse wheat cakes they usually ate.
The oldest child, who had been leading the group of seven or eight children, followed behind Li Jie and his party, making them annoyed. The older child bowed to Thor, and then said to Rogers, "This food is too expensive. We can eat one bite, and then take the remaining half home for our younger brothers and sisters to eat. As for the burger that we haven't eaten yet, we can go to the bread stall and exchange it for at least five coarse wheat cakes. This will fill our family's stomachs today. "
The child said calmly, without any emotion, as if it was a matter of course.
When survival was the first priority, any desire for luxury could not overcome the desire to live. The children bowed to Li Jie and his party one by one, and then quickly left. They wanted to take the food home while the burgers were still hot.
Just like what they did every day, this was survival!
Seeing the group of children leave, Captain Rogers let out a breath of turbid air. He told Li Jie and Thor what the children had just said in a very uncomfortable tone.
"We should have given them some money. I thought that the children in the Southern Cross Welfare Institute were already very difficult. Why didn't you let me give them some money just now? "Thor shook his head, and then stared at Li Jie.
Because Li Jie didn't let Thor give the children money just now. Instead, he asked him to go to the restaurant next door and buy some burgers for the children.
Li Jie shook his head. "How much are you going to give them? Do you know that ten dollars is enough for some people to kill people here? Poor places are not necessarily good. Maybe there are a lot of shining points of human nature here, but it can't cover up all kinds of bloody incidents that have happened in order to survive. "
Thor looked at Li Jie for a while, and finally could only sigh and move his gaze elsewhere.
Captain Rogers said thoughtfully, "Is this why you didn't let us go directly to Dr. Banner just now, but instead let us walk around Kathmandu?"
"Yes, Dr. Banner is a good man in every respect according to the records. What he wants to do is to do good things. Researching weapons for the military has never been his original intention. We should first understand the situation in the area where he lives, and then have a chance to persuade him. "Li Jie said and patted Thor on the shoulder.
Thor looked at the dilapidated city and said, "This country is too poor."
Li Jie said noncommittally, "Even if it is rich, so what? This kind of thing happens all over the world. You have seen it in the United States. Look at China at the southern foot of the Himalayas. The countries on the border are not necessarily better than Nepal. There are many children in the poor mountains in the west who can't afford to eat. "
"Why?" Thor was a little puzzled. "China and the United States are not short of money, right?"
"In a sense, they are not short of money, but how much of their money is spent on competing with each other and preparing for war?" Li Jie said with a slight sarcasm.
"Modern society is becoming more and more cruel. It is no longer the original kind of bloody cruelty, but another kind of cruelty that can't be seen. Nepal is just a victim mixed among the big countries. Millions of people of this country are buried with it. "
Captain Rogers walked forward slowly and said firmly, "So this is why we are here. The world should change!"
Li Jie patted Thor on the back. The second big step of his whole plan was actually ready to begin, but now he just wanted to find Dr. Banner to strengthen the strength of the Illuminati.
While they were browsing Kathmandu, a child's voice, which was fluent in American English, said, "Gentlemen, do you need a guide?"
A young novice monk wearing a somewhat tattered but very clean monk's robe looked at Li Jie with a flattering smile.
PS: There will be three updates today. Besides, these foreshadowing are really not fake. Without the necessary understanding of the environment, how can you understand Banner's state of mind? And then convince him? What is written without foreshadowing is dry and unconvincing. In addition, these stories are also the beginning of something else.
