Chapter 213 Superwoman, Sudden Change
While the gangsters who robbed dozens of banks and were warmly welcomed by all of them were doubting their lives, what was Chen Tao doing?
He was in Superman's house.
Metropolis, weekend, 9:00 am, in the living room of Clark Kent and Lois Lane's shared apartment.
"Woof!"
"Oh, good job, good dog." Chen Tao fed a piece of cream cheese to Super Dog Xiao Krypton. God knows why Clark would feed such a thing to the dog, but it doesn't matter.
He has been waiting for Lois and Superman to finish for 72 minutes, and he has to pretend that they just happened to come to the door. He is so tired.
Why can Superman be so leisurely?
Chen Tao became more and more angry as he thought about it. He accidentally poked the triangular cheese into Xiao Krypton's mouth, almost choking the dog to death.
"Woof woof woof?!"
Chen Tao heard Clark's footsteps coming from behind, and he stood up.
"How's your recovery, Clark?"
"Same old."
Clark was wearing home clothes, holding a cup of American-style Chinese tea, which was soaked with wolfberries and various random plants.
He yawned, and the super dog floated to his forehead, floating around like a ball of flying cotton.
"You don't have super powers now, so don't worry about being accidentally crushed by your dog one day."
Chen Tao saw the super dog Xiao Ke squatting on Clark's forehead intimately. He knew that Xiao Ke was not actually using any force, but was just floating, but this posture was still very dangerous.
"You know, the probability of a pet killing a person may be very low, but it is definitely not zero."
Xiao Ke's humanized dog face suddenly rolled his eyes.
"It's okay, Krypton has adapted well." Clark touched Krypton's head, then yawned again, wiped his tears, and said, "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"If it's okay, can't I talk to you... Well, there are indeed new problems." Chen Tao said, "Something happened again."
He looked a little serious, and Superman quickly received the signals from his body language, drove away Krypton who was still on his forehead, and then sat up slightly: "You continue."
"Steppenwolf attacked the location where the government stored the Mother Box, and then left quietly. Mudface told me that the clone he left there pretending to be the Mother Box was completely destroyed, which means that both the government and Steppenwolf knew that I had faked the Mother Box."
"And the strange thing about this matter is, how did Steppenwolf know where the Mother Box was stored? I have used technical means to isolate the real Mother Box from returning. The possibility of Steppenwolf's information, so Steppenwolf mistakenly thought that the real thing was in the hands of the government... but he was able to find the location accurately. "
Superman nodded, and he continued:
"This shows that the government has been infiltrated like a sieve. Whether it is our people, Darkseid's people, or any other powerful role, the government has no secrets in front of them. "
"This is why I would rather forge it than take the mother box away from the government. "Chen Tao said:
"They have no ability to keep it, but they are holding on to it. But now the problem is that I can't negotiate with them, so I just make a fake one, which is undoubtedly a complete deception of them. "
"After this situation was discovered, our relationship immediately dropped to a freezing point. This not only has a great impact on my subsequent plans, but also poses a problem for me now. "
Chen Tao took a deep breath. Facing Clark's gesture of "Go on", Chen Tao told him: "We have welcomed a new Kryptonian spaceship." Clark stood up suddenly with a bang, knocking over the wolfberry tea on the table, which fell to the ground with a bang and shattered. "Clark, what happened?" Louise's voice came from the bedroom, and Clark told her: "It's okay, I just accidentally knocked over the cup." He sat down with forced calmness, and he was in no mood to clean up. "It's not a large spaceship like General Zuo De, nor is it a pet-exclusive escape pod like Super Dog Xiao Krypton." Chen Tao said: "It's a real adult escape pod." Clark felt a little trembling. "My parents..."
"No, it's your cousin." Chen Tao told him: "Your cousin, Kara Zor-El."
"She came at a very delicate time. I guess the government is going crazy with insecurity now."
"Wait, how do you know her name? Is she in your hands now?"
"Under my surveillance. I used technical means to land this escape pod on Earth before the government found it, to ensure that your cousin faced an empty wilderness instead of fully armed soldiers when she got off the spacecraft, and had enough time to escape before they arrived."
Chen Tao said:
"But they are not blind, and the technology now is not what it was 20 years ago when you were there. Such a large spaceship crashed, no matter how I deceived, when it broke through the atmosphere, the government would find out no matter how slow it was."
Chen Tao said:
"Then they will do their best to hunt down the creatures that are still on the run in the Kryptonian escape pod that has just arrived on Earth, at all costs. And before, I gave the government a fake mother box, which brought our relationship to a freezing point."
"So this time, they are very likely not to be as easy to talk to as they were before on the issue of Super Dog Xiao Krypton."
"What can I do?"
It's comfortable to talk to smart people. Without Chen Tao asking, Clark directly told him the purpose of his visit. His close relationship with Lois didn't drain his brain: "Prove my identity to the new Kryptonian?"
"Absolutely correct." Chen Tao said:
"We need Superman. Without Superman... Supergirl is also fine."
20 minutes later.
Chen Tao left Clark's house, but his mood was far more turbulent than he saw on the surface.
[The possibility of Superwoman's existence] The impact of this event on him was no less than that of his previous life before he traveled through time, when Warner announced to everyone, "We have decided to replace Superman with Superwoman, and DCEU is officially over"
(Note: DCEU is the series of movies that started with Superman Man of Steel in 2013)
Originally, because Superman lost his superpowers, he almost gave up pinning his hopes on him, and even began to look for the next person to entrust Gotham to.
He even thought about training Bane to be Robin, and then turning him into Batman!
Then reality slapped him hard in the face. When Bane heard that he was going to be Batman, his first reaction was not ecstasy but fear. Now he didn't know where on the earth he had gone to live a pastoral life with the bald zombie Blake. He didn't want to do what he wanted.
Gotham now basically depends on Nightwing, Deadshot, Poison Ivy and other members of the Suicide Squad to maintain it. Otherwise, the more he suppressed with Superman before, the more violent the rebound would be now.
But now, the appearance of Supergirl has given him hope again. He can completely train her and replicate the set he prepared for Superman on Supergirl, and then, then...
His idea of retirement all along seemed no longer out of reach. The plan that was interrupted by Superman's loss of superpowers, a smooth handover transition...
The temptation was so strong that Chen Tao almost began to imagine what effect he would get after doing so.
But at this moment, a call ring interrupted Chen Tao's thoughts.
He answered the phone, and the long-lost image of Alfred appeared on the stereoscopic projection screen.
"Master Bruce, your date with Miss Diana Prince is about to start--"
"I won't be late, and, Alfred, it's obviously not a date."
Chen Tao said, "I just asked her for help, and did some experiments by the way. Maybe I will help her a little bit if I have the chance, and test her attitude by the way, and discuss some things, and finally let him train me or others for a while..."
"That's all."
"Ah, right, right." Alfred said, "So I advise you not to be late."
"If I hadn't waited for Clark and Louis for a long time... forget it." Chen Tao shook his head, "But I'm in time."
He looked at his watch: "I came out at least 30 to 20 minutes earlier than expected."
Gulp!
At the same time, Clark looked at Louis who came out of the room. Even the steel man who didn't blink even when facing Doomsday swallowed his saliva and shed a drop of cold sweat.
"Clark." Then he heard Louise holding a mobile phone and saying to him: "Look, look, the store has recently released a Superman-style wedding dress and groom's tuxedo, so beautiful!" Clark immediately understood the girl's hint. ... ... So, how can an ordinary person who intends to assassinate the president of the United States approach him? The mechanical Superman stood thousands of meters above the ground, observing the ground below with his extraordinary vision. It was early morning, and the misty fog covered the White House, the highest power center of the country, in a hazy way. In the field of humanities, there is a new way to divide the times: before Superman appeared, and after Superman appeared. The security of the White House perfectly demonstrated this magical change. The mechanical Superman scanned the entire layout of the White House with his perspective eyes. The teleportation blocking devices scattered on the outer walls covered the White House without any dead corners. The development and installation costs of the entire system are enough to support several generations of a small country. The eyes of the mechanical Superman lingered on the patrolling security personnel. X-ray glasses, if necessary, can see through even lead plates, no weapons can be smuggled in.
Cyborg's eyes scanned the entire entrance through the wall.
Metal detector, also super power detector. Can detect any super power, this level can isolate most dangers... Hmm? What's the matter with this last water spray process?
Who is this to protect against, what's the point?
Uh... why do they require blood tests?
Cyborg frowned and looked at the ground again.
Hmm. Even the floor is full of detectors, they record the identity of the entrants and continuously compare their weight and other vital signs. This is a test that is carried out all day, mainly to deal with shapeshifters...
Hey, there was no such level a few days ago, they have installed new defense measures.
The agents who patrol the corridors will receive real-time background information of everyone they see, which is used to verify facial features and other personal information. Hmm, it's watertight, and it's also a defense against shapeshifters.
But why do we have to be so defensive against shapeshifters?
Cyborg stood silently in the air.
Who is my target?
Of course it's the president.
Why am I doing this?
You'll know soon.
How do I achieve my goal?
It's obviously not easy.
But I can still manipulate them. This doesn't even require superpowers. Just some... small inducements.
The most basic rhetoric, pictures, videos, audios, news obtained from various media channels, these information are so easily manipulated by me, and it is easy to guide the recipient in the direction you want.
The so-called brainwashing is to preset an answer and then instill it into other people's minds.
The eyes of the mechanical superman penetrated the layers of buildings and stayed in the conference room.
"I tell you, General Eiling, the president will not agree."
The mechanical superman heard someone say: "The whole country is worried that the superpower of law enforcement will put the whole country under fascist rule. Frankly speaking, our cabinet has expressed the same opinion to the president."
"The mechanical superman is different from Superman. It is a human being on our earth."
You see, tampering with thoughts, using simple techniques can affect weaker wills.
Gently push them towards the ideas they think are correct.
General Eiling said: "In the past few months, I have been trying to convince you that we have no resistance to those superpowers outside."
"When this country is in crisis, you are busy covering up your political dirty work. Don't think I don't know. Aren't you afraid that this new Superman will enforce the law on you one day?"
To tamper with a country's policies, you need neither guns nor fists.
"But don't you think, if Batman decides to sink the West Coast and build an underwater bat cave, who do you think can save you?"
Gently pat your shoulders, give the right answer, and then they will help you convince others.
"You have to look at the overall situation."
The Cyborg Superman heard General Eiling say.
He clearly saw the president's hesitation, and the Cyborg Superman shook his head.
Of course, sometimes, we need more direct means.
Boom!
The Cyborg Superman's pupils reflected the violent explosion indifferently.
He saw the sonic boom channel open, and countless demons rushed towards the White House.
He slowly lowered his head and fell like a meteor.
"Roar!!!"
The demons easily broke through the security. They killed anyone they saw in the corridors of the White House to cover up some clear targets they wanted to kill. Those who opposed the superpowers' law enforcement, those obstacles, their dying screams were so pleasant.
A demon broke through the many obstacles and bared its teeth and claws in the president's office. He defeated the last few bodyguards around the president like cutting melons and vegetables.
The president could even smell the traces of rot in the demon's bloody mouth.
Then the next moment, the robot superman tore the ceiling of the room, and the S on his chest and the terrifying face of half man and half machine shone brightly in the misty morning fog and sunlight.
He grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the roaring demon, and his eyes shot out red lasers of destruction. Amid the demon's violent screams, the robot superman tore it in half. Green blood sprinkled on the floor like a fountain.
The silent humanoid creature formed a sharp contrast with the wailing and roaring but powerless behemoth.
Cyborg turned around, threw the dead demon to the ground, wiped the green blood splashed on the half steel face, and flew to the president.
"Mr. President, your security measures are insufficient."
To be honest, this was a very deterrent appearance, a carefully designed appearance by Cyborg.
"You need me--"
Swish!
But before Cyborg finished speaking, he was drenched by the automatic sprinkler in the president's room. That thing is purely mechanical transmission, without any electronic control.
"It has been confirmed that the target is not a mud face."
A crisp electronic sound came from the room.
"I wish you a good morning without mud face!"
Cyborg: "..."
Who set up this stupid security system?
Amanda Waller stood beside the president, frowning.
I finally finished writing, woo woo, I fell asleep while writing yesterday! Yes, sorry, sorry, ah, I'll go to sleep for a while now...
