Chapter 113 The Brave and Fearless Man
In the deepest part of the universe, under the boundless starry sky, inside a huge skeleton spaceship.
Brainiac sat on his throne, one metal tentacle after another attached to his brain, connecting him to his kingdom.
In the endless data stream, countless possible futures, like chess pieces on a chessboard, were repeatedly deduced under Brainiac's huge computing power.
"Analyzing... Analyzing..."
"Sample collection success rate: 32.1%, this value is too low."
"After analysis, the following three people caused variables."
"1. Superman."
"2. Batman."
"3. Lex Luthor."
Brainiac opened his eyes.
Countless huge data streams flashed in his indifferent eyes that were not like living things. These data streams were enough to burst all the top servers on the earth, but they were not worth mentioning to Brainiac.
He even had the ability to distract himself.
"Rebuilding the analysis model. Analyzing... Analyzing Darkseid. Calculating: Earth's destruction time."
"Establishing a comparison. Analyzing the most suitable time for collecting samples with the highest success rate; Sample collection target: Metropolis."
"It is worth noting that conflicts with Darkseid should be avoided as much as possible. This prerequisite has been added."
"Additional collection targets: Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor, Parasyte."
"Improving: Earth Civilization Protection Plan. Started."
Brainiac nodded, and then the three-dimensional image of General Zod and Black Zero appeared in front of him.
……
……
……
"What is that, Major?"
General Sam Ryan sat in the main seat of the command room, surrounded by busy scientific researchers and soldiers with live ammunition.
He looked serious, with slightly graying temples against his black hair, but his fingers trembling slightly on the armrests made him look not so calm.
He kept thinking about his daughter, Lois Lane, and the Kryptonian called Fiora in the intelligence asking her to go to Black Zero with the alien called Superman.
At that moment, as a father, he was ready to directly refuse the alien's request and lead all the American soldiers to fight the Kryptonians on the spot.
But his daughter left, without hesitation, and followed the big boy scout in red and blue.
Blame it all on Superman!
Well, General Lane knew that this was just impotent rage and a complete transfer of unwarranted hatred. His rationality was very clear about this, but emotion and rationality have always been two different things.
The voice of his subordinates interrupted his recollection, and he immediately turned back into the iron-blooded general.
"An enemy aircraft has been detected, launched from an alien spacecraft!"
"Screen display."
"Yes, sir."
"Get Radio 4, get closer."
General Sam Lane picked up the phone: "Command, today's code is Trident. An alien spacecraft is approaching."
"Radio 4 is connected."
"How fast is it?"
"380 nautical miles, entering the sky over Kansas, they seem to be wandering back and forth looking for something!"
"They refuse to respond to us!"
General Sam Lane was silent.
"I'm sorry, colleagues." He said: "The worst has happened. Even though we have handed over Superman, the aliens are still unwilling to leave the earth immediately."
"I'm afraid that this battle is inevitable. The president has authorized me to fight back if aliens invade the earth. So I may have to announce it."
He turned and looked at everyone in the hall.
"We are going to war with aliens."
He knew exactly what he was talking about and what the consequences would be.
Lois Lane, his beloved daughter, was on the Kryptonian spacecraft at this time.
If he just followed the president's order, he would most likely... never see his daughter again.
Yes, that's right.
General Ryan told himself this over and over again. He felt his limbs trembling, his head cold, and huge emotions surging and impacting his whole body, knocking him down and burying him in the bottomless darkness.
But he still repeated his order.
"General, but your daughter..."
"I said, follow my order - didn't you hear it? Start fighters! Tanks! Gunships! Launch an attack!!! Use missiles! Use bombs! Use artillery!"
General Sam Ryan's voice was shaking: "Didn't you hear my order? Soldier?"
Colonel Hardy bowed his head: "Yes, General!"
"Countless people have paid their lives for our country." General Ryan whispered, as if telling everyone present, and as if hypnotizing himself, his voice gradually stopped shaking.
"They are all other people's children. If other people's children can die, then my children can too. Louise is already an adult, and she can be responsible for her own choices."
"So... launch an attack! In the name of the United States, launch an attack on the enemy!"
When he finished saying this, his body shook visibly. General Ryan pushed away Colonel Hardy who tried to support him, and pointed at his nose: "You lead the team yourself, and cover the firepower. Colonel Hardy, we have to use the highest level of attack to send these aliens directly to hell!" He opened his mouth and felt his soul howling in the dark night, but not a single tear flowed from his eyes. "Attack them! This is my order to you... Attack them!"
At this moment, another sergeant hurried into the control room and whispered in General Ryan's ear: "General, there is a colonel who wants to see you. He is waiting outside now-"
"No, what the hell?" General Ryan said: "Let them go, we are dealing with an interstellar crisis now."
"But he brought the president's order-"
"What do you do-"
"You can't come in-the president's order? Uh... But even so, you can't-"
There was a noisy sound from the microphone in front of General Ryan, and then the guards outside asked: "General, there is a colonel here who claims to have the president's order. Can we let them in? They are trying to break in now, should we fight back?"
General Ryan looked at the sergeant next to him. The sergeant immediately replied:
"There is no problem with the identity, I have verified it."
General Ryan nodded: "Let them in."
Then he turned to Colonel Hardy and said: "Why are you still standing there? Prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
Colonel Hardy saluted and turned away.
General Ryan turned around and stared at the two alien spacecraft on the screen in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
A few minutes later, the door behind him opened.
General Ryan turned his head and saw a tall and strong blond man walked in, followed by several FBI black-clad agents.
"General Ryan, I am Colonel Steve Trevor of the United States Air Force." Steve walked into the room and extended his hand to General Ryan who was sitting there.
But General Ryan did not shake hands with him.
"What can I do for you?"
He said: "Don't waste each other's time."
Steve frowned, but did not care about General Ryan's attitude.
He pointed to a fat black woman next to him. She was as fat as a black sow standing up, but she was wearing an FBI uniform.
This ugly face made General Ryan look her up and down.
Generally speaking, a guy with such appearance should appear in the slums or the Sanitation Bureau, not among a group of FBI.
"I am Amanda Waller. An agent, nice to meet you. General."
Amanda did not mention her specific position. She showed a harmless smile, and she really looked like an old lady working as a salesperson in a supermarket.
Steve said:
"General, a holographic image meeting is waiting for your attendance. Mr. President and many congressmen want to discuss the issue of aliens with you, as well as President Luther of Lex Group-"
He leaned close to General Ryan's ear: "They are anxiously waiting for you to explain the situation to them. At the same time, we are also discussing whether to release the parasite to deal with this threat."
……
……
At this time, more than ten kilometers away from Kent Farm.
Chen Tao appeared safely on an invisible bat plane, with Alfred standing next to him.
This is a heavier bat plane, which is more like a small mobile air fortress than an airplane. Since the plane is just hovering, it can be completely replaced by AI, which also allows Alfred to guard here.
At this time, Chen Tao was sitting in front of the computer, and most of his body had turned into a real car. Only the upper body neck and thighs still maintained the human form, but this made him even more weird. A human head was directly glued to the hood of the car, and the two wheels at the back were replaced by two hairy legs. Because the front body was too heavy, it could only kick on the ground.
Fortunately, the space in the cabin of this plane is large enough, even if most of the body has been turned into a car body, there is no need to worry about the problem of not being able to fit.
At this time, Chen Tao was connecting himself to the bat computer with a wire. Frankly speaking, the computing power of the Batmobile is really too poor. Even with the assistance of nanorobots such as the Broken Bat, it is almost impossible to hack into Black Zero directly.
Even magic has to be reasonable. When people are anxious, they can do anything, except math problems. If the computing power can't keep up, it can't keep up. After all, it's just F-level Batman. How strong can you expect him to be?
Now he is facing the situation of Black Zero, just like encountering a layer of steel film. It looks very weak and knows the weakness, but he has no ability to penetrate it.
But the problem is that he doesn't need to hack in. Superman took away the master key, allowing the artificial intelligence based on his biological father Jor-El to successfully invade Black Zero.
So, now he just needs to put his own in.
The old butler looked at the increasingly inhuman Batman with a complicated expression.
"Huh..."
Chen Tao let out a long breath, and his metal body deformed and returned to flesh and blood.
He walked to the side of the old butler: "What's wrong, Alfred, so dazed? What are you thinking about?"
"Ah, nothing." The old housekeeper smiled: "I was just thinking about where we can go to have fun after we retire."
"Anywhere is fine." Chen Tao opened a bottle of drink from the cabinet, and then poured a glass for each person: "Anyway, I have gradually retired from the front-line battles. When I help Superman and get his superhero career on the right track, we will really retire."
Then Chen Tao lowered his eyebrows and muttered in a barely detectable voice: "Damn Brainiac."
"What did you say, master?"
"Nothing." He raised his glass: "Cheers to retirement!"
Boom-boom!
As soon as Chen Tao raised his glass, a loud noise came from the screen.
"You-dare-to-kill-my mother!!!!"
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Chen Tao looked at the furious Superman on the screen and couldn't help but click his tongue. This is the image sent by the Wayne Group's private satellite.
"Is it really okay that you used Clayface to trick Superman?"
Alfred came up and watched the video with him: "Poor kid, he must be heartbroken."
"If I didn't use Clayface to trick Superman, Superman might not be able to beat these Kryptonians."
Chen Tao looked at the video from the satellite on the screen: the furious Superman kicked the other Kryptonian, the big guy Eck, flying backwards besides Zod. He picked up a broken steel beam and swung it to hit Eck's butt.
Their battle location had flown several kilometers away, and they were fighting in the middle of a small town.
At this time, Superman seemed to have the upper hand, and he was fighting the big guy Eck and General Zod alone.
"After all, I've said before that the farmer in Kansas has only had a few fights in his life. The gap between him and General Zod is definitely not something that can be made up by the dirty tricks learned in just a few days."
"Stink bombs and bad breath potions may be a good idea, but these have to wait until his mask is taken off."
On the screen, Superman grabbed the ankle of the big guy Ike with his bare hands and plowed him on the ground, but was immediately stepped on the back of his head by General Zod from behind.
"In short, although I'm sorry that Clark lied to him, I must stimulate his anger so that he can fight more than three or even more Kryptonians at the same time." Chen Tao said, "When it's over, I will personally put on the resurrection armor for his mother, but now..." "Our Superman needs a little anger buff." Chen Tao said, "He needs a courageous heart that can burst out all the power of his steel body for the time being." ... ... ... ... "This is completely crazy in my opinion." Jason said with some earnestness, "What's the benefit of intervening in the battle of the Kryptonians at this time?" The van they rented was parked on the side of the road a few kilometers away from Kent Farm. "The bat plane signal you found is near here, right?" Ms. Shiva did not answer him directly. "Yes, that's right, but it doesn't mean..." But Jason didn't have time to finish his words, and then he and Shiva saw a Kryptonian spaceship full of science fiction passing over their heads and landing in the distance. "This does mean an enemy." Shiva pursed his lips. "Jason, get out of the car."
Red Hood Jason wanted to say something, and then he felt his eyes blurred, and he was kicked out of the driver's seat by the other party, and he didn't even have the strength to resist.
This is a crushing gap in martial arts skills.
"Hey, you..."
"It's dangerous there, little Jason, you'd better not get involved."
Jason couldn't help it anymore: "Dangerous? Aren't you dangerous? Teacher Shiva, according to my calculations, even if there is more venom, it's impossible... You don't have to..."
But he couldn't say anything more, because he saw Ms. Shiva's eyes, and the bright spirit in her eyes made him unable to open his eyes.
"No, don't you understand? Jason?"
"This is a challenge, a challenge. And I am the strongest human on this planet. I was born to fight. It's not that I don't want to retreat, but-"
Shiva sat in the driver's seat, raised his lips, and laughed silently and crazily.
Jason stood in the sun, watching the strongest mortal in the world drive a dilapidated van and embark on her destined journey: "I will never retreat here, risking the dignity of mankind and the reputation of a fighter!" "Because I am - the strongest in the world!"
