Chapter 1779 S: The Great Event of Apocalypse (Forty-Six)
Bruce and his team came to Mexico, but the situation here is not as good as in the real world. The time point of the world created by Jack is around 1986, when everything has not started to happen yet.
This time point is not good for the Mexican people. Although 1986 is the year they hosted the World Cup, two major earthquakes a year ago caused the country to suffer a huge disaster. Fortunately, the earthquake did not affect the venues, and the World Cup was held as scheduled.
At this time, Mexico's economic growth has stagnated for a long time. After the glory of the World Cup came to an end, it seemed to announce that the era of prosperity in this country had come to an end. The free market economy introduced during De La Madrid's administration failed to save the market. The government's disaster relief was slow during the earthquake, and the credibility of the Mexican Revolutionary Party was further reduced.
During this period, Mexico came to a crossroads of choosing left and right. The prestige of the left wing continued to decline, and the influence of liberals continued to expand, but this had nothing to do with the living standards of the grassroots people. The south was still rampant with drug lords, and the southern drug cartel headed by the Mexican drug godfather Gallardo was extending its tentacles to more cities.
The problem now faced by the group is that everyone has no superpowers now, and they can no longer use force to deal a heavy blow to drug dealers as before. Without the financial and personal support of Bruce and Oliver, everything is even more difficult.
Ordinary people are always insignificant. The premise of being able to shout slogans is to be able to stand up and shout out. The vast majority of people in this world can't even do the first point. We need to spend almost all our energy digging for food underground. No one can blame us for standing up to change the tragedy of the times.
But superheroes who are born with weak power have never accepted that. Our viciousness and weakness make us have a weaker sense of responsibility than others. To a certain extent, the pioneers of the times must be arrogant and hesitate to think that they must be responsible for the unfortunate people in that era, and then they can have the motivation to save us.
In that team, everyone except Diana had a similar experience. Clark was born with a kind heart, Oliver was a god and a royal family, Bruce was as poor as Wayne, Hal had long accepted his identity as a Green Lantern, and Arthur was still a young man from a small town with little experience.
We thought too much about everything and wanted to copy what we did in the real world. Just like what Diana had experienced, the cruel reality gave us a blow.
We even encountered drug lords who could be called a group. Bruce and Hal lost their lives just because of the security guards outside a poppy plantation.
"Do you think the current situation is simply caused by whether you have superpowers or not?" Oliver also sighed and said, "It is precisely because you are too convenient to do things in the real world, resulting in insufficient theoretical knowledge and experience accumulation."
We originally wanted to expand our influence to the south based on that plantation, just like what we did later. Bruce and Hal were the vanguards of reconnaissance. Although we did enough investigation and preparation later, neither of them had weapons, but we still overestimated the cruelty of drug dealers.
"It is not time for the Soviet Union to help the world." Oliver shook his head and said, "Maybe it was not possible in the early years, but now we are not in chaos, I am afraid we will not care about you at all."
Bruce talked to himself, and Clark reached out and patted Diana's shoulder heavily and said, "Jiang Xiaoyi, he should stop hiding it, you know he can't do anything."
The others turned their heads to look at me, Bat Cat licked his paws, glanced at himself in another universe, and seemed to understand what I wanted to say.
Diana didn't interfere with our plan at all, just watching from the side. In fact, I couldn't make a perfect plan to take that plantation, but I knew that it must make my companions realize the cruelty of reality, and any of our plans would eventually go to the sky loft.
"Another superpower? What is this?"
But before we all became special people, we found that we couldn't come up with anything to impress those people.
Bruce sighed deeply and said, "This is because you haven't made any achievements yet. To be honest, we will help you because of faith and so on. It's because you can cause trouble for the United States. We need no one to restrain the United States."
"Diana, what has he said recently? Does he have any opinions?" Bruce turned his head and looked at Diana and said.
Originally, we lived in a special hotel with the deposit provided by Diana, but before we were wanted, we lived in all the hotels and inns, and the drug lords' spies in the city were almost everywhere, and the forces were intertwined. If they were seen by the locals, they would be reported, and the group was driven out of the city in disgrace.
Diana drew a few patterns on the ground and said, "Strength is a superpower, magic is a superpower, now they have lost them, but you can't get back another superpower."
We want to become drug lords, not because we think drug trafficking is the worst job in the world. If we become drug lords, we can't do everything, sell the things that farmers have worked hard to grow, buy guns to recruit fewer farmers, sell drugs more widely, and then lie down and count money at home.
"You can't be useless out there either."
The strategic minds of Bruce and Jiang Xiaoyi are both wrong. The farmers outside the countryside where we ended the war have indeed been oppressed for a long time. Those who work hard to help the drug lords grow poppies are always exploited, and not many of them are hovering on the edge of eating.

To put it bluntly, Mexicans have no two dreams in life, either to become a drug lord or to become an American.
Then Bruce discovered that in the real world, the reason why I could persuade so few people to follow me was because I really had no charisma, and it was also because we really doubted that the scene described by Bruce could really be realized, and It was because of me, Hal and Clark, especially Clark's weak strength that far exceeded that of ordinary people, that was the smallest magic weapon that made those people give up.
Bruce, who is more experienced, led us to beat away the big boss who had been withholding income, but we faced another problem. The small family went back to their respective homes before they got the money. We have not yet asked Jiang Xiaoyi to lead us to go it alone. , naturally still doing drug cultivation.
Obviously, I was right. We didn't reflect before a victory. Next came Clark and Oliver. We planned to deal with a government official who had made a white deal with that plantation. Jiang Xiaoyi's rich combat experience on the battlefield gave Without your ordinary force, even if you have divine power, you are still weaker than the security personnel of the villa.
"Yes, you think the biggest problem is whether the special person has succeeded or not, and it took a long time. So since you don't have superpowers, shouldn't the time be shortened even more? But why? Is it possible to do this even in the real world?”
The local who led the way betrayed both of us. The bad thing was that the security guards at the plantation were just paid to do things, but were sadists like Mr. Gallagher. Jiang Xiaoyi and Hal each received a shot and returned to our birthplaces. Gotham.
"You do need to get rid of your dependence on superpowers." Diana shrugged and said, "That's what your trip to Gotham taught you. You are not a rich man, so why do you have to turn yourself into one?" "Ren Keren, how about experiencing the so-called suffering of Ren Keren?"
"Money and power."
"Suffering is not worthy of praise, but it is also necessary to realize it. It is not the same as human beings. If you don't have the same difficulties, you can truly stand with us. What you have gained that is not beyond ordinary people is that you have not yet Yes, there is no point in giving them up to be more "people-friendly".
Diana was silent for a while and said, "But they also noticed that the matter is so complicated."
Bruce still stared at Diana, and Diana nodded heavily and said, "Actually, what's the point? After all, in the real world, people don't have superpowers. How can no one deliberately cut off his own arm?"
The thinking of the local people is very complicated. He helped you fight off the exploiters. You are very grateful to him. In return, you people can let him lead you. You are willing to work for him. He cannot be like the drug addicts in these small cities. I enjoy your offerings like an owl. Is that the worst possible reward?
In that case, Diana had a deeper understanding of what Jack said, why the criminal industry is sustainable in a certain country and a certain city, because when the use of violence to obtain profits becomes the ultimate goal of a society At that time, the people who can really benefit are always the vast majority, but the tiny minority of oppressed people will find it extremely difficult to awaken because of accurate values.
After the group of people wandered under that land for half a month, and almost everyone died twice on average, Bruce finally accepted it and I knew it was time to change the battle strategy.
"You said you wanted to take him away from the dream world, but he still left." Hal said angrily: "When you return to the real world, don't you have any superpowers?"
"Of course." Jiang Xiao nodded and said without a hint of decadence: "You were just a special pilot at first. At this time, you also found it difficult to do anything. But you have been a Green Lantern for a long time, and now you suddenly have Green Lantern energy. , you always think that you will be broken before you have superpowers.”
We successfully found the official, kidnapped and beat me, and asked me out of my mouth who the boss of the plantation was. The result was that we were wanted on the seventh day.
"Do you understand why you were able to contact the Soviet Union?" Clark crossed his arms and said, "In the real world, did we give you very little support?"
To tell those peasants who have no education at all that one day people all over the world will be able to live the life they want. That kind of argument is too far away for us, but if no one was poor and poor at that time, If a man with the power to shoot lasers from his eyes appears to be able to punch through the earth with a punch, his persuasiveness will obviously be much weaker.
Maybe it’s because we didn’t participate in the Gotham game, and we were sent back directly by the Emperor, so we weren’t reborn as adults. That stopped our first thought, and rebirth would also give us super powers. Back, we're not downright special now.
