Just then, Nolan hugged Jean, who was running past him, and whispered.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Nothing big happened anyway, so calm down."
"But she almost crashed devil."
Jean sat on Nolan's lap, her chest heaving, which made Nolan a little dizzy.
"It's not broken, is it? Even if it was, it could be fixed."
Nolan comforted her.
"You just spoil her, don't you?"
Jean gave Nolan a playful, coquettish White, but the Fire in her heart had indeed subsided a little.
"Of course, I can spoil you just like I spoil her, my dear. Do you want me to?"
Nolan looked at Jean, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
Nolan wasn't too angry; instead, he found it quite novel and interesting that the usually elegant and dignified Jean could have such a feisty and adorable side.
Hearing this, Jean's pretty face instantly flushed, and she bashfully patted Nolan's large hands on her waist.
"Let me go, there are others."
The others tacitly turned their heads, pretending not to see.
However, Storm, Shadowcat, and Blink's eyes flashed with envy.
Nolan also released Jean.
Jean didn't chase Black Phoenix anymore, but a lecture was inevitable.
Ending this farce.
devil activated its stealth mode.
Nolan and his group arrived at a human gathering place.
Here, Nolan saw the difficult living conditions of humans in this World.
Resources were extremely scarce, people were gaunt, and their eyes were full of exhaustion and fear.
There were also Sentinel Robots patrolling the sky, but due to the hidden magic on their bodies, they didn't discover that some strangers had arrived at this gathering place.
[Human, you have violated the law. Please proceed to the Tribunal to receive judgment.]
A Sentinel Robot stopped a shabbily dressed man.
"I haven't violated the law, let me go!"
The man tried to bypass the Sentinel Robot and leave, but was stopped again.
[Human, you have violated the crime of polluting the street. Please proceed to the Tribunal to receive judgment. If you resist, I will take measures.]
The Sentinel Robot's arm began to coil with lightning, indicating that the measures it spoke of were precisely this.
"I understand…"
The man looked at the lightning, fear flashing in his eyes.
He turned and walked in another direction.
The Sentinel Robot followed behind him.
[Human, please be careful of the road.]
The people around, either curled up in corners, numbly watched it all.
"Why is it like this here? At least half of the humans on Earth are gone, they should have double the resources."
Storm had originally thought that humans would unite and sing and dance in various gathering places.
"Although half of the population on Earth is gone, ninety percent of the World's resources are still firmly controlled by the three percent minority at the top of the World.
And the remaining pitifully small amount of resources is left for the vast majority of others.
I really don't know what those in power are thinking. If they had any brains, they wouldn't have created such an extreme totalitarian rule."
Tony couldn't help but shake his head.
Professor X's eyes flickered, as if he knew something.
"We'll know if we go and see."
Nolan said, and the group followed the Sentinel Robot ahead to the Tribunal.
It was solemn and tidy here, forming a Stark contrast with the surrounding streets.
The door was open, and everything inside was clearly visible.
It was a place similar to a courtroom, but apart from the man being judged, everyone else was a Sentinel Robot.
[Human, you have violated the crime of pollution. Do you plead guilty?]
The Chief Sentinel's cold yellow light eyes looked at the man.
"..."
The man trembled all over, his face pale, unable to speak.
[Human, you have violated the crime of pollution. Do you plead guilty?]
The Chief Sentinel repeated again.
"I plead guilty!"
[For violating the crime of pollution, you are fined 5 kilograms of meat, to be executed immediately.]
A Sentinel Robot whose arm had transformed into twin blades walked up.
A cold light flashed.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
The man clutched his smoothly cut shoulder, wailing in pain.
[Human, the Tribunal requests silence.]
The man immediately shut his mouth, cold sweat streaming down his face, and staggered out.
Seeing the man emerge, the eyes of the people sitting in the Shadowy corners revealed a look of surprise.
They followed closely behind the man.
Soon, more than a dozen people had gathered.
"Let's go."
Nolan merely glanced, then continued to follow the Sentinel Robot carrying the man's arm.
Professor X and the others' eyes only flashed with a hint of pity, but they did nothing. Their goodwill towards humanity had long since vanished.
"Nolan, can't we save him?"
Tony felt a little unbearable.
"I can save one, and I can save a hundred thousand, but Tony, you overestimate me. I don't have the extra patience or kindness to save a stranger."
Nolan said without looking back.
"Then what about the low-priced limb regeneration potion?"
Tony said.
"That was just to make a name for myself, to make things easier for me in the future."
Nolan said.
"I don't believe it."
Tony dropped this sentence, then turned and chased after the direction the man had disappeared in.
Stark smiled bitterly and said, "Leader, he's still too young."
Having not experienced various life-and-death crises, betrayals, pain, or loss, his heart still held a strong sense of justice and compassion.
He believed that as long as one acted, nothing was irreversible.
"Sigh, I must owe him from a past life."
Nolan stopped his steps.
Tony quickly caught up to the man ahead.
The man's wound had already bled a trail of crimson on the road, but he still persistently walked in one direction.
The eyes of the people surrounding him grew increasingly greedy, and their tongues licked their cracked lips.
"Hey, buddy, you need this."
Tony pushed through the crowd, injected the healing potion into the man, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding and began to grow new skin.
The people around had disappointment and regret in their eyes, but no resentment, and they dispersed.
The man looked at his already recovered wound, and the expression on his face began to contort.
"Why did you save me?"
"What did you say?"
Tony thought he had misheard.
"Why did you save me? Let me die, let me die, let me die!"
The man angrily pushed Tony down, roaring with resentment.
"Are you crazy? I saved you."
Tony looked astonished.
"Save me? Who asked you to save me, you bastard, idiot…"
The man uttered every foul word he knew.
Bang!
The man suddenly flew out.
"In ten minutes, your heart will stop. Do whatever you need to do quickly."
"Thank you, you're Mutants, right? I won't report you, thank you."
The man paused slightly, then smiled, bowed gratefully to Nolan, and then ran in one direction.
"Nolan, what exactly happened?"
Tony sat on the dirty ground, a little puzzled.
"Because this World is already beyond saving, the kind even I can't save."
Nolan reached out and pulled Tony up.
