In the following period of time, the Sokovia incident didn't cause much of a stir around the world.
The chaos that Ultron created this time was only to use civilians as hostages and interference, and not to kill them.
Less than a thousand people died in the entire incident.
Gunfire would break out from time to time in Sokovia's downtown area, and dozens of civilians would die.
There were a few major battles that had left a mark in history a few years ago. There were no exact statistics on the number of civilian deaths, but it was estimated to be between a few thousand and tens of thousands.
It was impossible for hundreds of people to die in the Sokovia incident this time. It wasn't big news at all.
If this death toll had happened in New York ten years ago, it might have been called the world's most tragic case, and it could be ranked in the top five now.
But since it happened in Eastern Europe, most media outlets only briefly reported that there was another battle in Sokovia, and some civilians were killed or injured.
Because Sokovia had always been at war, cell phone networks were almost non-existent, and not many people could afford smartphones.
Walter used his mind to evacuate the crowd and get those closest to the battlefield to evacuate, making it so that very few people could capture video of the battle afterwards.
As the saying went, there were no pictures to speak of. The rumors on the Internet about the battle between the Avengers and Bat in Sokovia didn't come to fruition in the end.
Some hardcore fans talked about it, but most people didn't care about it at all.
The real wrangling contest took place between the European countries and the American authorities.
But this wrangling contest wasn't about how to settle the refugees, but how to distribute the benefits.
For example, the anti-gravity parts that Tony had transported away on a transport plane, the robot army and some remaining supplies left behind by Ultron, and the funds and supplies for the Avengers and Bat Squad's rescue fund were what everyone was concerned about.
The attention of most people and related countries was diverted, and there was naturally no way to denounce the Avengers and Bat Squad.
A few forces who wanted to take the opportunity to deal with the Avengers and Bat Squad could only give up after trying a few times.
Many countries and people were rather regretful; it would be best if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people died in Sokovia this time.
At that time, they would mobilize their troops in the name of maintaining peace and snatch the benefits.
…
Amid the chaos, Luke didn't have much contact with the Avengers.
Tony was the only one who exchanged information with him, but didn't talk too much.
Everyone was too busy.
Tony had to deal with various official and internal affairs. While he observed his new 'godson', Vision, he also had to unify his thoughts with his old teammates.
When he activated the vision, Thor, Dr. Banner, Natasha, and Hawkeye were on his side.
But most people were on Steve's side when it came to the creation of Ultron.
Because the latter was an emergency, they had no other choice.
The former, on the other hand, ignored safety and embarked on a dangerous path of development.
It was not the same thing at all.
Tony hid it from everyone and tricked Dr. Banner into working on Ultron. He had no team spirit to begin with.
To make matters worse, Dr. Banner is missing.
After the battle that day, without anyone knowing, Dr. Banner drove away in the Quinjet and never appeared again.
Tony's positioning device on the Quinjet also did not respond.
The atmosphere in the Avengers was rather gloomy, and Luke didn't want to get involved at all.
He didn't have the ability to find Dr. Banner, so how could he convince the Avengers?
Besides, he had "snatched" Zhao Hailun in advance and tricked Walter and Pietro into joining the Alliance of Righteous and Evil, so he had to keep a low profile for the time being.
Tony had intentionally or unintentionally "mentioned" many times that there were too few Avengers and that they needed new members.
Luke pretended not to hear him.
Don't think he didn't know that the tycoon was looking for suitable reserve members everywhere.
But if he didn't stabilize these "new" members, Tony might poach Luke, and Dr. Zhao Hailun would be the most dangerous.
This gentle, intellectual, intelligent, and top-notch professional Asian beauty actually had a crush on … Thor, who had muscles all over his head?
Luke could only say: Sure enough, the more women lacked something, the more they liked it.
It was the same for Dr. Jane and Dr. Zhao.
In order to appease Dr. Zhao, Luke had no choice but to use Knight's ID to invite Lathor to the party.
Knight, Big Dipper, Walter, Pietro, and the black catgirl accompanied him to the party.
Of the Bat Squad, only Selina, who was in a symbiotic state, was suitable to come.
Looking at Dr. Zhao, who had turned into a little fangirl and was stuttering as she chatted with Thor, Walter's head was full of question marks.
She was the one who had controlled Zhao Hailun to create this "Illusion" body for Otto.
Walter knew very well that this woman was extremely knowledgeable and skilled.
But now … why did she look like one of those geeks who licked their screens?
Thinking that, she shifted her gaze to the side.
Big Dipper was pestered by the black catgirl and asked all sorts of questions, and Pietro leaned over as well.
Selina didn't know that Big Dipper was Luke. She only knew that he and Luke often acted together, and her curiosity about Big Dipper had never been satisfied.
Big Dipper was wearing a work jacket and tactical trousers, and had a neat white beard.
He was in his forties and had a calm but stern expression, which was very eye-catching.
Walter was a little disappointed. She actually wanted to talk to Big Dipper, even if she had to be lectured a little more.
But it would be too embarrassing to ask for a scolding in front of the black catgirl and Pietro.
She could only look at Knight, who was sitting at the bar, with the same light in her eyes that Zhao Hailun was looking at Thor.
She had seen Knight's face before, and knew that he was very handsome.
But without the black knight armor, Lord Bruce, who was in a full suit, was undoubtedly a different kind of handsome.
Compared with Big Dipper, Knight was calmer, but also more distant.
Even when he looked at everyone present, his eyes didn't waver.
He didn't even reveal his emotions or expression — the same was true for Big Dipper.
As if sensing that Walter had been staring at him for a long time, he turned his head and waved at her with a smile.
After a brief hesitation, Walter immediately stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked over.
Luke sized up the young girl.
Although she was already twenty years old, her behavior and thoughts were still immature. There was nothing wrong with calling her a girl.
It was probably because Pietro had protected her well, and because of her nature.
Gesturing for Walter to sit down, Luke handed her a bottle of juice.
Walter looked at the beer in his hand, and then at the juice in front of her, and was a little speechless.
Luke seemed to know what she was thinking. "It's easy for drunk people to do strange things. If you're as strong as Steve or Thor, it doesn't matter how many bottles or barrels of whiskey you drink, but you're not. You don't even have to do anything if you go crazy. "
Walter lowered her head awkwardly. "Well, I won't go crazy."

I don't think I've ever recommended any books to anyone.
For today's PY event, Old Ice would like to recommend a book by a Great Guru — Godly Mechanic.
This has been a top-ten best-selling book for a long time. Before this, it's been a long time since I've read such a wonderful book that combines game and reality into one.
