Chapter 106 Black Zero Incident: Prelude

Chapter 106 Black Zero Incident: Prelude

The North Pole.

The mountains danced like silver snakes, and the cold wind was bone-chilling.

Lois Lane got off the helicopter. She was wearing a thick cotton coat and a hat, and her nose was red from the cold wind.

Amid the violent noise of the propeller, she saw a soldier walk up and shouted: "Miss Lane, are you okay? The campsite is up there, I'll walk with you--"

"Very good." Lois said. She turned her head and saw Clark Kent trying to clumsily take all the luggage off the plane.

"Be careful, they are heavy!"

Clark froze, and stumbled twice: "I can handle it!"

"Do you need help?"

"Of course not!"

"Okay..." Seeing that Clark finally took the two trolley suitcases off the plane by himself, Louis shrugged: "Competitiveness, huh?"

"Although I am not a loyal reader of the Daily Planet," Louis and the soldier walked towards the base together, and the soldier said: "But the columns you wrote impressed me..."

They climbed a short winding path and turned around the mountain. Soon, a camp under a snowy mountain appeared in front of them.

Clark walked to her side.

"What did I say?"

Louis said to Clark: "A scientific study, a national-level excavation of unknown mysterious objects. This is what the media should report, not stupid Bruce Wayne!"

She stood on the cliff and stretched out her hand to the base below with high spirits.

"No more stupid Gotham richest man, no more trivial third-rate news, Lois Lane will report the real big discovery!"

Lois said:

"I'm tired of reporting Bruce Wayne over and over again!"

Seven minutes later.

When Lois Lane walked into the temporary command room of the camp, what caught her eye was Bruce Wayne's annoying smile.

Lois fell into silence.

She stood there, and suddenly the whole person turned into a stone sculpture, and her temperament was deeper than the famous thinker sculpture.

"Oh my god——"

"What the ***?"

She said.

"Hello, nice to see you, uh, again." Clark, the big silly guy next to him, said: "What a coincidence."

Louis heard it and just wanted to give Clark a hammer.

So she showed a Lois Lane-style fake smile.

"I'm really "happy" to see you, Mr. Wayne."

"Yes, yes, what a coincidence!" Chen Tao sat on a chair with a smile, and Alfred stood behind him.

He was wearing pink fur and flashy Snow Mountain Limited Edition goggles. Louis's eyes lingered on his lower body... Are those pants made of skunk skin? And the pair of skates he wore indoors - in short, he didn't dress like a normal human. Louis always felt that he was often on a different level from the people around him, like a character from a comic book inserted into reality. Louis crossed his arms: "So, Mr. Wayne? Why are you here?" He looked at the officer standing next to him and the man wearing glasses and dressed as a professor: "You just let this gentleman who has nothing to do with the matter appear here openly?" They looked at each other, and then the officer-like man coughed softly, and then said: "Mr. Bruce Wayne donated 10 million US dollars to our camp." The professor-like man said: "He participated in this project as a special technical consultant. And he also signed a confidentiality agreement. All procedures are reasonable and legal." "Consultant?" Louis almost laughed out of anger. Just seeing Bruce's face, Louis felt desperate. Although she didn't hate Bruce that much, Editor-in-Chief White had repeatedly asked her to report more than 12 news features about Bruce Wayne, 12!

It is conceivable that once Bruce Wayne appears here, her report on aliens will be ruined again, and Editor-in-Chief White will force her to write the entire report as "The great Mr. Bruce Wayne visited the Arctic Research Station!"

Unless... they can really find something under the ice.

"Anyway, Miss Lane, I'm Colonel Hardy of the US Northern Command." The man dressed as an officer introduced himself:

"And this is Dr. Emil Hamilton of the Defense Vision Research and Planning Agency."

The professor-like man saluted Louis slightly.

"You're early." Colonel Hardy said, "We thought you would arrive tomorrow."

His tone seemed a bit aggressive.

"That's why I came here today." Louis answered him: "We have something to say in advance, okay? The only reason I'm here is that the court in Canada that accepted the appeal rejected your ban on our expulsion." "So if you've had enough fun, can you send someone to show me your findings?" "Good! You are so handsome and well said, here's the reward!" Then Louis found that he had a large stack of money in his hand, and Alfred flashed back behind the Gotham rich man. Louis gritted his teeth. The atmosphere was ruined in an instant, damn it. Although there was a little more money in his hand. I met Bruce Wayne again, so annoying. Although there was a little more money in my hand.

Then he saw Alfred gave Colonel Hardy and Professor Hamilton a stack of money each.

Louise saw the expressions on their faces. They were completely transformed into the shape of banknotes, without the alertness of a soldier or the rationality of a scientist.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Wayne?" Louise pulled Chen Tao aside, with a voice that was not noticeable: "Why would a rich man like you abandon the glamorous world of the metropolis and run to the Arctic, a place where no one lives?"

"I plan to go to the alien spaceship under the ice to see if I can find some alien technology."

Chen Tao told her truthfully: "By the way, get familiar with the structure of the alien spaceship and see if there is anything that can help prevent alien invasions, and then pick them all up."

Obviously, Louise didn't believe a word of it.

"Okay, okay, I just heard that you guys came here so I wanted to join in the fun and see how you usually report the news. To be honest, I have a lot of creative inspiration here." Louis heard the other party say: "I want to create my own movie series here..." This is still a barely convincing reason. Clark slowly withdrew his attention from eavesdropping and rubbed his fingers twice. Then he used his perspective eyes to scan Mr. Bruce Wayne from head to toe several times. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person who is stronger, and there is nothing strange about him. He shook his head. Clark, Clark, what are you thinking about? "...NASA's emergency rescue satellite first discovered the anomaly-" A few minutes later, a group of people gathered in front of the computer. "The echo detection of the ice shelf shows chaos, but there is definitely something there." "Maybe it's a Soviet-era submarine?" Louis said. "No, it's an alien spaceship!" Then he heard Bruce Wayne's idiotic voice: "I'm sure there must be a lot of aliens living inside, maybe they look like us!"

Louis forced himself not to listen to Bruce Wayne's nonsense, while Clark looked at him thoughtfully.

"That thing is more than 300 meters long." Colonel Hardy said: "It's much bigger than what the Soviet Union could build at that time."

"But the weirdest thing is here." The clerk soldier sitting in front of the computer said, he tapped on the computer, and the screen switched to another page: "The ice covering the thing has been there for about 20,000 years."

"Ha, I knew it!"

Louis heard Bruce say confidently.

"It's an alien spaceship."

In the evening.

"Don't walk around, the temperature here will drop to minus 40 degrees in the middle of the night, and your body can only be found after the spring is over." Colonel Hardy took Louis and Clark to the camp and found a temporary house for them.

"You guys can live here. There are two compartments here."

"What should I do if I need to relieve myself?"

"There's a bucket in the corner."

Colonel Hardy closed the door: "Have a nice day!"

Bang!

The couple was the only ones left in the room.

They shared two beds in different compartments.

"Hey, Clark."

"Hmm?"

Louis said, "Do you think aliens really exist?"

Louis' mind flashed with the confident expression of the richest man in Gotham during the day, and his expression when he gave another reason.

A mystery always lingered in her mind.

Why did Bruce Wayne say those words so confidently? Did he really know something?

A wealthy tycoon like him might really know something that ordinary people don't know...

"Aliens, huh?"

He heard Clark say:

"If you want to ask my opinion, Louis. I think all the questions about whether aliens exist come from loneliness, the loneliness that all intelligent life is born with.

This loneliness may never completely disappear from our lives, and these self-contradictions can never be reconciled, but the process of fighting against it is the true meaning of growth, life and love.

Therefore, we have always believed in the existence of aliens. When we look up at the boundless starry sky and ask whether we think there are lives like us in the universe, we always deceive ourselves romantically: the universe is very vast, and we are not alone."

Under the dim light, Clark's expression was actually a little pious and solemn.

Louis's hand paused: "Who are you?"

"Uh, what do you mean, Louis?"

"Seriously, who is it?"

Louis put down the mattress and squinted his eyes.

"One minute, Clark Kent is wearing oversized glasses, an ugly suit, and a milk stain on his mouth, stumbling through the day, and the next minute, he transforms into the most confident and insightful man I have ever met."

"What's ugly about my suit?" Clark muttered.

"You are the spokesperson for contradiction, Clark," Lois said.

Sending Clark back to his cubicle, Lois sat there for a while.

Lois, Lois, what are you thinking about?

She began to assemble the camera and high beam.

Stay still?

This is not the style of Lois Lane.

It was night.

Chen Tao, wrapped in a black veil, stood on the ice field and looked into the distance. He saw the aurora blowing from the sky on the snow-capped mountain tops, reflecting the refreshing white light like fragrance.

Superman.

He thought quietly.

You will go to the Fortress of Solitude. You will find out your life experience and verify the history of Krypton.

And in addition to these, do you know that you, the last son of Krypton, will also have your first meeting with me.

His eyes lingered on the ice below, where Lois Lane found the ice hole burned by Clark's laser eyes.

That night, at 1:43 in the morning.

The Fortress of Solitude broke through the ice and disappeared under the surveillance of the US military.

…

…

…

Jason Todd exhaled, half of his body was frozen by the cold air, but other than that he did not suffer multiple injuries.

He was still emotional. When the Riddler tried to put on the Robin uniform, he attacked him first, instead of getting rid of the most dangerous Mr. Freeze first.

But fortunately, the battle is over now.

"Jason Can you hear me?"

Jason pressed his earphone slightly.

He walked out of the Batcave. Outside this sub-base was an abandoned garbage dump. In Gotham, there were the most deserted wastelands.

However, the wasteland was now full of soldiers called Claws by the Arkham villains.

Jason had fought with these soldiers called Claws. They were numerous and powerful, and some of them had the strange effect of immortality. They could survive even if their heads were blown off.

But now they all collapsed to the ground, like a pile of rag dolls with missing arms and legs, except that their heads were all gone.

The bodies of the Claws piled up into a mountain. Although Jason was already aware of the immortality of these people, such a naked Jingguan was still enough to be amazing.

Then he saw that person standing in the middle of the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

"Hehehe... Why is this happening?"

Jason heard the claw whose throat was strangled - or the leader of this group of claws said: "How can you be so strong?"

He was wearing a silver-white owl armor, with muscles all over his body. Jason guessed that he must have the same immortality as those ordinary claws, but he was as weak as a baby in front of that man.

"People who see me for the first time often have confusion."

Jason heard the man say: "A fighting master who weighs only 141 pounds (64kg) and is only 5 feet 8 inches (173cm) tall? I know what you are thinking - there are such skinny strongmen in the world?"

The man threw Lincoln March to the ground like a dead dog.

"I just like your surprised expressions."

"Ms. Shiva."

Jason Todd walked up to her and bowed slightly: "Good day."

"Jason Todd." Then Jason heard the other party's arrogant voice: "Where is the Batman you promised me, the fighter you said is comparable to Richard Long?"

Jason was silent for a while: "He's not here, Ms. Shiva, I'm sorry."

"Not here?" Shiva sighed, and then said: "You know, little Jason. The reason I accompanied you to Gotham is because you said Batman is strong enough."

In the night, Ms. Shiva's eyes flashed with a strange red light: "But for so many days, I haven't even seen the shadow of Batman. Are you going to break your promise?"

No matter how many times he faced this woman, Jason felt suffocated.

Just when he was about to say something else to prevaricate, he heard Ms. Shiva say: "I heard that the guy named Bane was on par with Batman in a short period of time, and he is also a martial arts master, right?"

Jason immediately guessed what the other party wanted to do.

"Ms. Shiva, Bane is a very dangerous prisoner. We can't just because of our own..." But he didn't have a chance to finish his words before he was interrupted by Ms. Shiva: "You know where Bane is now, right?" Jason shut up immediately. He didn't dare to lie in front of Shiva. "Take me there." Ms. Shiva ordered. I accidentally fell asleep while writing yesterday...
