Chapter 3093: Romantic

~10 min read 1,936 words

The pregnant woman's blood coagulation function seems to have some problems. Even though the wound has been sutured, the bleeding never stops. The newborn's condition is also not good. Staying in the mother's body for too long has led to hypoxia, and now there are symptoms of difficulty breathing.

This means that one of them must go out to find medicine. Steve thinks he is duty-bound, but he is also worried that Carter won't be able to take care of so many people alone.

Steve seems to have forgotten that he has superpowers, but he still maintains his original fighting habits. He made a shield for himself with a discarded manhole cover, has an AK47 in his hand, and two pistols, but there isn't much ammunition left.

He clears his equipment and prepares to go out, but another shell falls, making the entrance to the basement full of smoke and dust. He vaguely hears wailing, and soon helps another wounded person down.

Now it's not just medicine; the food and water in the shelter are not enough either. Steve has to take the risk, braving the rain of bullets and artillery fire to enter the city to search for the supplies that might be needed.

All three pairs of couples are experiencing their own dangers in their dreams.

Stark and Pepper are trapped in the snowfield cabin. Besides facing the wolf pack, they also have to get heating materials almost every moment.

Steve and Carter are surviving on the battlefield, looking for medicine and supplies for the wounded, and avoiding dangerous artillery attacks at any time.

Peter and Gwen are stranded on a desert island. Besides facing the invasion of disease, they also have to find fresh water and food and resist the storm that hits all night.

They almost don't remember their past identities, and they don't have superpowers, and many times they are acting on instinct.

But they still rely on and support each other, tacitly like comrades who have fought side by side for many years, not like being trapped in danger, but like a rare life journey that belongs completely to each other after abandoning various restrictions in reality.

In the infinite parallel universe, perhaps there is always a universe where they are experiencing these. The primitive natural environment is like a mirror, always reflecting the most simple appearance of the human soul. After taking off the heavy burden, this time that completely belongs to each other is so precious that even sharing dangers has become a rare beautiful dream.

Waking up, Stark feels refreshed.

Within a few seconds of waking up, he can still clearly remember the pain of being bitten by a wolf, Pepper's worried face, and also remember their warm smiles when sharing wolf meat by the fireplace.

But as time passes, the memory of the dream dissipates quickly. He soon can't remember what he dreamed about.

The situation of the others is about the same. They only remember experiencing a wonderful dream at night, but they can't remember the specific content. They also attribute this to not drinking, going to bed early, and the children not making trouble.

Eddie also wakes up, but he hasn't lost the memory of those dreams. On the contrary, every picture is very clear. Eddie even stores these pictures in his mind in categories, thinking about how to edit them when the time comes.

The experience of this night is indeed very thrilling. More importantly, without the interference of various realistic factors, and with everyone's memory being very incomplete, everyone's actions show a kind of focus and purity, which makes their behavior of relying on each other in danger look like it shines with a brighter light.

Eddie can't wait to find Shiler to chat.

He gets up quickly, washes up, and rushes downstairs. Shiler is indeed already making breakfast. Eddie walks over and glances upstairs. He knows that many people have woken up, but are just lying in bed, so he lowers his voice and says: "Are you sure they won't remember?"

"Of course, because this is not some superpower invasion, but just a dream." Shiler puts the fresh lettuce on the cutting board and says: "You should also have such an experience, that is, when you wake up, you clearly remember what you dreamed about, but after a while, you forget it completely."

"Yes," Eddie replies: "Many times it's like this, and sometimes I can remember roughly what I dreamed about, but I can't remember the details, or I can only remember one part, and the other part is forgotten."

"This is the brain's protection mechanism," Shiler explains: "It is helping you distinguish between dreams and reality."

"Does this need to be distinguished?" Eddie asks with some surprise.

"Of course it needs to be."

"But dreams and reality are very different. Dreams are very blurry."

"The memory of reality will also become blurry one day." Shiler looks back at Eddie and says: "Do you remember Christmas when you were 6 years old?"

Eddie pauses, but still says: "I can't remember clearly, I only remember my mother bought me a toy, our family sat around the table eating, and I also found candy in my Christmas stocking..."

Then he understands what Shiler meant. Although the current reality and the current dream are compared, the dream is relatively blurry, but if the past reality and the dream are compared, the degree of blurriness is actually about the same.

If humans cannot quickly forget dreams, then when the memory of reality also starts to become blurry, they will not be able to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Even if the human brain does have this function, sometimes it will be like this, especially children. At that moment, sometimes they can't distinguish between reality and imagination, and when they grow up, they will mistakenly think that what they imagined is the fact.

"This is the brilliance of Dream Power Doctor Strange," Shiler says: "He didn't deliberately delete memories, because there are too many loopholes in doing so. As long as he uses the mechanism that already exists in the brain, it is almost flawless."

"It's hard to imagine how terrible it would be if he used this ability to do bad things." Eddie shakes his head and says.

He takes the milk handed by Shiler, inserts the straw, and then asks as if he remembered something: "What about Ma Te and Elektra, and Jarvis and Wanda?"

"Those two pairs are more troublesome," Shiler sighs: "Ma Te's hearing is too strong. They must have known about our plan. This matter can't be hidden from Wanda either. It just depends on whether they are willing to cooperate."

Eddie only then knows that it wasn't because they didn't finish the dreams of the five pairs of couples in one go last night, but because it was a bit difficult to hide it from the remaining two pairs.

They will indeed forget the dreams, but as long as they know about this matter in advance, it doesn't count as a secret.

But fortunately, Ma Te and Wanda don't have much obsession with romance. If it's the wedding process, they are willing to cooperate. Whether it's a surprise or not, we'll see.

Sure enough, Ma Te gets up early. He is also interested in discussing with Shiler what kind of dream would be more interesting.

The script Shiler formulated for them is doomsday wasteland, but Ma Te doesn't seem to have much interest in that kind of desolate place. He is a blind person in reality, so he particularly likes a colorful world.

So Shiler gave the original rainforest survival that should have been used for Steve to Ma Te, while Jarvis and Wanda have a mechanical disaster background with black humor, but Wanda still feels it's not exciting enough. She thinks there should be a Star Wars, plus solar flares, universe destruction...

Shiler can only say that meeting a client like you is Dream Power Doctor Strange's blessing.

When several couples go downstairs, they seem to be discussing. Stark has been saying that he had a wonderful dream, but he just can't remember what happened. Others have the same feeling.

They naturally thought about whether someone was playing tricks behind the scenes, but they instinctively felt that it was a beautiful dream. Maybe they could dream about it again tonight. They must remember all the details and definitely not forget them again.

Shiler just simply mixed a salad. The rest of the breakfast was made by others. They seem to prefer eating sweets in the morning, either frying pancakes or making cream. Shiler only ate two fried eggs and some salad.

He tasted a fried pancake. The taste was actually not bad. It had the fragrance of eggs and butter, and a faint burnt fragrance. But when others eat it, they have to pour thick jam on it, or spread cream. He really can't eat so greasy in the morning.

There is business to do today. The airport on the island has just been built. They are going to visit the natural environment on the island now, confirm the wedding venue, and check the safety around it one last time.

The airport on Shiler's farm is not big and can only park small private planes, helicopters, and flying shuttles. They first take a flying shuttle to Los Angeles, and then take Stark's private plane to the wedding island.

Actually, visiting the island doesn't take much time. Since they are going to Los Angeles, they plan to stay there for a morning. Although it is a vacation, there is still some business to handle.

First, there is an aerospace transport expo that the Anquan Bureau has been holding continuously. It is a propaganda means adopted when aerospace transport expanded to the West Coast, and is now mainly used for youth education and popular science.

Superheroes need to show their faces there, which can better promote the work of the Anquan Bureau. Of course, they also have to accompany the children to play games and take photos, and promote social welfare.

Last time, the movement made by Fin Fang Foom on the West Coast was not small, and there are still some things that haven't been solved with the FBI. Nick must go to the FBI's Los Angeles base.

Shiler actually has no business, but he swiped several Los Angeles delicacies on the short video software. Although all the internet-famous restaurants in Los Angeles he ate last time were thunderous, he still wanted to try it unwillingly.

Because Wanda is a mutant and doesn't want to get involved in the Avengers' affairs, she decides to go to the store with Shiler. Stark doesn't want Helen to show up in public too early, so he lets Shiler take her.

Rocket Raccoon naturally wants to follow Helen, but his and Pikachu's images are too popular with children, so they are directly detained by the Avengers, requiring them to be mascots for the expo activities and greet guests at the door.

Rocket Raccoon was originally unwilling, but Steve promised him a new arm for Bucky, and he couldn't resist the temptation. As for Pikachu, a super big cake was enough to fascinate him.

Returning to Los Angeles again, Shiler feels the rich West Coast city style. When landing, it was just 9 o'clock in the morning, so he rushed to a famous coffee shop. ===== CHAPTER 3094 =====

Returning to Los Angeles once more, Shiler felt the rich, coastal city atmosphere again. Landing right at 9:00 AM, he headed straight for a famous cafe.
