American Comics: Multiverse of Madness - #514 - Chapter 511 Conversation with Luther

“It’s been a long time indeed. It’s been several months since we left the Luther Building. I couldn’t come back to see you because I was dealing with troubles in other universes. Thank you for your hard work during this time.”

Zhang Yi was very moved when he saw that Luther’s makeup could not cover the dark circles and the red bloodshot eyes.

Sure enough, professional matters must be left to professional people. Although he was a little tired, Luther was able to manage the entire wasteland in an orderly manner. This was something Zhang Yi could not do.

In this regard, Luther was somewhat free and easy. “Everyone has a role to play, isn’t it? Clark and the others are all doing their part for the wasteland, so naturally I can’t do nothing.

Moreover, this is a very new universe for me, and being able to re-establish a new dynasty here is a reason I can’t refuse. “

Zhang Yi still values ​​Luther very highly.

Although this guy often jumps back and forth between heroes and villains, and often makes trouble for Clark, one thing that has to be admitted is that everything he does is on the side of humanity.

This is somewhat similar to Dr. Doom. Doom focuses on his citizens. Although he is a little paranoid and often does not deal with the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, this does not affect his reputation as the best leader. one of those.

Even after fighting with the Avengers during the day, he could sit in the wizard’s tavern chatting and drinking with Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch at night, which was enough to explain the situation.

The same goes for Luthor, and in the Apokolips War universe, Luthor has successfully ‘whitewashed’ and joined the Justice League. Although most heroes don’t want to admit this, the fact is that Luthor is already a hero.

The wasteland needs such a leader who can direct the reconstruction work, and Luther also needs such a place to display his talents. In a sense, this can be regarded as a two-way journey.

It is not difficult to set a policy for governing the country, but if you want to implement it well, it will need to test the foundation and ability of a leadership team.

The difficulties encountered in drastic reforms in the wasteland are often not as troublesome as those trivial matters.

For example, Bruce Wayne, who received the aliens, did not expect that there would be so many aliens coming to the earth, and many aliens were preparing to move their families and live on the earth.

You have to agree. Today’s wasteland is far from being ready for aliens to live in. Or you don’t agree. The whole universe is staring at you. Your attitude of rejecting others may cause dissatisfaction. Small misunderstanding.

Now the urban legend of Gotham has completely become an earth diplomat, and his outstanding learning talent has also turned into studying various interstellar civilizations every day and night.

In this case, there are a lot of troubles in the wasteland.

Obviously, Luther is the best person to solve these troubles. At least the people are willing to believe in him, and the heroes also recognize his abilities very much.

Even though some people were reluctant to hand over such great power to Luther at first, they later acquiesced to this after seeing that he was busy working for the wasteland and that the reconstruction of the wasteland was on track.

After all, the changes Luther brought to the wasteland are seen by everyone, and no one can erase these great achievements.

“Actually, I came here this time not only to take some time to rest, but also to see if there is anything here that needs my help.” Zhang Yi and the others sat on the sofa at Luther’s signal.

“Actually, most of the resistance forces in the wasteland have been put to death. Generally speaking, there are no big troubles, but a lot of small troubles.” Luther sighed.

“Can you tell me more specifically, what are the difficulties you are encountering now?” Zhang Yi asked softly.

“After all, we are still poor. Winter is about to come, but except for a few cities, most of the world is still in a barren and primitive state. Although I have opened the city to recruit people, there are too many refugees, and the city has It’s already saturated.”

When this was mentioned, Luther sighed again and again. After so long, he was finally able to find someone to talk to about these things. In the past, he would deal with them silently by himself, keeping everything in his heart.

Now that he sees the real master of this universe coming here, Luther’s words have become more talkative.

“In my original plan, I hoped to build a few prosperous cities first, and then use these iconic big cities to radiate like beacons to surrounding towns and cities, driving economic prosperity.

But the idea is good, but it is very difficult to implement it. Those who are capable are running to the big cities. These classist ideas are deeply rooted in their hearts, and no one is willing to go to the countryside to help with construction.

The alliance issued several encouragement regulations after the spring, but look at it, more than half a year later, and those towns and villages are still in a backward stage. Let alone exporting food, I am grateful to God whether they themselves starve to death. “

After taking a sip of coffee, Luther continued.

“As a last resort, I found a way to bring over some Easterners and use them as an example to encourage work. This method was somewhat effective. At least some people were willing to go back to farming under the welfare policy.

But the problem is that the troubles caused by population integration are also coming one after another. Originally, the materials we already had were enough to feed most people, but now that there are so many more people, our resources are somewhat insufficient.

This is not counting the large number of animals and plants that were transported to the watchtower. Now the entire planet and all regions are asking me for money.

It’s difficult for me too. The current agricultural reform will not be harvested until next year. Asia has already done its best, and Australia and other states can’t take care of themselves. Where can I get supplies? “

Listening to Luther vomiting his bitterness, Pietro and Carla also felt a little trembling.

They completed their work happily every day, neither thirsty nor hungry. In their impression, the entire wasteland was getting better and better. How could they have imagined that the actual situation would be so bad.

“Can’t we hunt those dinosaurs? Those creatures are so huge that one dragon can feed the entire village for a whole day.” Pietro couldn’t help but say.

He had dealt with those dinosaurs before, and Pietro was sure that those dinosaurs were ordinary dinosaurs, without much intelligence and only knowing how to hunt prey.

“I get angry when I talk about dinosaurs.”

Luther said helplessly. “The biggest trouble we encountered in our reform work before was these things. Those dinosaurs destroyed the farm at every turn. A dinosaur and an underground man. I was really annoyed.

As for you talking about killing dinosaurs, this is not a solution. I have arranged for troops to dispatch to kill the dinosaurs and drive those guys back into the mountains at the same time. However, this is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. “

“Indeed, if you want society to restore stability, you must be self-sufficient. Blindly hunting and killing can only alleviate the problem, but it is not a long-term solution.” Zhang Yi also nodded.

“Fortunately, Bruce has received a lot of goods. Temple No. 2 is big enough, and the animals and plants on it are also very well maintained. I believe it won’t be long before the materials on the watchtower can be fed back to the wasteland.” Luther Said in a deep voice.

“Since we are talking about the universe, can’t we contact other planets to ask for some supplies or something to help the wasteland overcome the current difficulties?” Kara asked.

“not that simple.”

Zhang Ye shook his head, looked at Kara and said.

“The universe is now in a strange balance. The capable civilizations are carving up the territory of the Church of Truth, while the incompetent civilizations are hiding and hiding. Many aliens have sent spies to try to explore the reality of the earth. The condition of the earth cannot be exposed at this time.”

“Yes.” Luther glanced at Zhang Yi in surprise. He didn’t know why the other party knew so much about the situation on Earth, but he still nodded and explained.

“The whole universe is staring at the earth is not an empty talk. In addition to being a place to receive alien envoys, the watchtower is also the first line of defense to keep those alien spies out. The universe is so big, who knows? Someone will take advantage of it.”

“That’s not true. With the current strength of the earth, is there any civilization that is not afraid of death and dares to come and cause trouble for us?” Pietro was a little surprised.

“Nothing is impossible. You underestimate those guys in the universe. The Guardians of the Galaxy have shattered the plans of some conspirators more than once. Without the Church of Truth, all the rats in the gutter have popped up. “

Luther’s eyes turned cold and he said in a somewhat unkind tone. “The earth has also been attacked twice. Although they were blocked by Martian Manhunter, we have to guard against it. After all, the enemy is hiding us and revealing it.”

After hearing Luther’s words, everyone understood how severe the difficulties faced in the wasteland today. In this state of external and internal troubles, Luther’s ability to stabilize the wasteland is enough to illustrate his ability. .

“Actually, these are nothing. With the capabilities of the Justice League, Avengers and other forces today, I think it is not impossible to solve these things, but!”

As soon as the conversation changed, Luther’s face suddenly turned bitter. He looked directly at Zhang Yi and spoke word by word.

“Zhang Yi, you must help me deal with that old wolf in Logan. I really can’t stand that guy anymore. He makes me collapse even more than Darkseid.”

“Logan? What’s wrong with him?” Zhang Yi really didn’t expect that the person who would give Luther a headache would be Wolverine.

And looking at Luther like this, it can’t be fake. It’s obvious that Logan has completely cornered him. In Luther’s eyes, Logan is actually more difficult to deal with than Darkseid.

When he heard Zhang Yi’s question, Luther, as if he had found a backbone, told everything Logan had done during this time.

Including the fact that he even secretly squeezed into Luther’s quilt in order to beg for supplies and shared the same bed with him.

God knows what Luther’s expression looked like when he opened his eyes and saw a man lying next to him.
