Chapter 252 Chen Tao decided to eat the Mother Box as a snack.
"This is the Red of All Living Things, President Clinton."
While Luthor and Superman Connor were driving to the newly established Hall of Justice, Chen Tao was busy meeting with the President.
President Clinton was a sturdy, middle-aged man with a tall, big nose, thick eyelids and big eyes. He had a head of slightly white curly hair and round facial muscles, which was very different from the thin style of the previous president.
At this time, they were in the Red of All Living Things, a gathering dimension of all red life on Earth.
Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor, two generals, followed Batman and the President, and the two green guys, Martian Manhunter and Killer Croc, acted as bodyguards behind, and standing next to the President was the new US Army Chief of Staff, Mr. Gantry.
"It's... incredible."
President Clinton squatted down, grabbed a handful of red sand on the ground, and then let the red sand, which felt like animal bones, slip through his fingers.
"Mr. President, this is the Red of All Beings. A safe hiding place."
"Uh-huh... just call me Clinton."
"Okay, Mr. Clinton." Chen Tao said: "As you can see, the Justice League intends to hide the Mother Box here-"
"No, if we can enter this alien space, how can you ensure that others can't enter?" Before the President could speak, the Army Chief of Staff Gan Cui standing next to him spoke first: "And it is placed in this alien dimension that only Killer Croc can open here. What if he dies?"
Chen Tao glanced at President Clinton, who said nothing and was still smiling.
The other person looks very... friendly? There are some things that he is not convenient to say, so is this training a special mouth substitute?
The voice of Army Staff Officer Gan Cui was still ringing: "And if we leave it here, we can't study the Mother Box, so..."
"The research on the Mother Box can be temporarily stopped until I come back from Atlantis and study it when I am here."
Chen Tao said: "I haven't figured out anything after studying for a long time. It doesn't matter if I spend more time or less time. If you can't do the math problem, you can't do it. It's useless to spend more time."
Without waiting for Staff Officer Gan Cui to continue, he ended the topic directly: "I think the most important issue before us is planning, not research, unless you tell me that you can study a way to solve Darkseid from the Mother Box in a short time."
"As for Killer Croc." Chen Tao said bluntly: "He won't die even if you die."
"..."
"Okay, okay, I thought our chat would be more harmonious." Clinton immediately came out to smooth things over: "Staff Officer Gan Cui just expressed his doubts."
Chen Tao immediately stopped.
This is not a question, but a test. His counterattack must be strong and firm. There are already enough things. He doesn't want to prompt some people to do stupid things because of his unsteady attitude.
Some signs should be nipped in the bud.
For the government, if there were no external dangers like Brainiac and Darkseid, and they were sure that the government had no ability to deal with them, they would not be so polite to superheroes like Chen Tao.
"We plan to give you the rank of Army General." Clinton changed the subject: "It's just an honorary title."
"Thank you very much, sir." Chen Tao said.
"Hey, to be honest, this is a bit strange. I just call you Batman." Clinton said: "Can I just call you Bruce or Mr. Wayne?"
"It's up to you, sir." Chen Tao said.
"Okay, okay. Bruce." Clinton said: "Let's talk about Atlantis."
Clinton is a person who is very good at getting close to people. Although Chen Tao didn't communicate much with him before, now with just a few words, the two of them are like friends who have known each other for a long time.
"Atlantis is very powerful, beyond ordinary people's power." Clinton said, "And according to the intelligence we have collected so far, they are not friendly to us. So..." "I know very well." Chen Tao said, "So this time we go to Atlantis to ask for the mother box, it should not turn into a war between America and Atlantis." "That's right, Bruce." Clinton said, "There are actually many attacks by the Atlanteans. The most recent one was just six hours ago. They smashed an illegal whaling ship in Massachusetts (a state in the northeast of the United States, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east), and there was no one alive on it." "Admittedly, those people are carrying out I have no intention of excusing the criminals who illegally hunt whales. But the aggressive methods of the Atlanteans always make people worry that they will use such methods to attack us. Clinton said: "I know, I know, you will definitely tell me that the Atlanteans are not a crazy race and will not attack the United States for no reason. But as a president, I must be responsible for the country. "We can never rely on the premise that [others will not attack us] for national security. So I must regretfully tell you that at the moment when more and more Atlantean attacks are happening, we are ready to deal with all national wars in Atlantis.
I also hope that you will prioritize the safety of our people in the event of a war. " Chen Tao and Clinton walked slowly on the red beach, listening to each other continue. "But once the war starts, both sides will suffer. Therefore, although I agree with your plan to seek the mother box from Atlantis, I hope you promise me to remain restrained and never let Atlantis attack the United States because of this, otherwise we will be forced to fight back, and many people will die. " "Understood, sir." Chen Tao said. "After we focused on the Atlanteans, Dr. Stephen Shen revealed a lot of his research to the Pentagon. "Clinton said: "That is a country with millions of superhumans. " "We absolutely, absolutely cannot conflict with them. But if the war starts-we must fight back with all our strength at the first time to ensure that we are the safe one. "
…
…
…
…
Imagine this world.
A shameful fact.
A reminder of mortals' place in the universe.
Imagine the ocean.
The average depth of the ocean is 2.5 miles, the deepest is more than 7 miles, and they occupy almost 128,000 square miles of the planet's surface.
That's 2/3 of the entire surface, 97% of the global biosphere, compared to which any person is insignificant, unless he claims the ocean as his domain and rules them like I do.
My name is Arthur Curry, the ruler of Atlantis - Aquaman.
Those who have been saved by me have given me a more affectionate name:
Aquaman.
This is the western Atlantic Ocean, near Massachusetts.
"How far is he from me?" In the rapids, Aquaman Arthur is speeding at a speed of more than Mach 9 (3 kilometers per second).
He heard the communication from the Atlantis Palace.
"Your Majesty, our equipment shows that we are still six miles away from the quarry. ”
Sea King Arthur asked: "Has the target's identity been confirmed, Captain Sarke?"
"My dear, I'm Meila."
Then Arthur heard the voice of his lover: "The identity has been confirmed, it's the [Hongshou Organization]. "
"Damn it. "
The man with flying blond hair said. His hair fluttered in the high-speed water, and countless tiny bubbles gushed out from the corners of his mouth, driving him to speed up a little bit.
I am Arthur Curry.
I regard myself as the king and guardian of 2/3 of the world. Is this self-confidence or admirable determination, or arrogance?
But in short, managing 2/3 of the planet is not an easy task.
Some people would say that this is too heavy a burden for one person. At this time and place, I ignored the typhoon in Indonesia, the earthquake in the Sea of Japan, and an immigrant ship that sank in the Mediterranean, but I need to prioritize the solution of the [Hongshou Organization] today.
They are an extremely dangerous Atlantis terrorist organization.
The figure of Sea King Arthur stopped in a sea area, which was filled with a large number of fleets and dinosaur-like sea monsters, and cavalry riding directly on sea monsters.
He stopped in front of this fleet, waved the Sea King Trident in his hand, and cut through the thick steel armor of one of the Atlantis watercrafts.
"Now-stop! "
Boom!
Sea King Arthur stood in front of the screaming members of the [Flood Beast Organization], and he listened to their roars indifferently:
"The king has come in person, forget your loyalty, flood beasts, we swear to join this action!"
Sea King Arthur looked at them.
Due to the famous loneliness of Atlantis, the perfect society here is not understood by the surface world.
[Flood Beast Organization] recruited the ninth tribe of Atlantis, which is what we commonly call the lowest people in the city-state. The people of the ninth tribe think they are "Hadarin", which means the deep sea area living on the deep seabed in Atlantis. They rely on organic matter left over from the upper growth layer to survive, "the scum of the bottom."
To be clear, in the eyes of the Atlanteans, Hadarin is noble, and they do the most humble work to keep the sea clean.
"Kulunras of the ninth tribe! I recognize you, you are a true Atlantean——"
Sea King Arthur dodged the bullets that attacked him like a school of migrating fish in the deep sea: "——but betrayed his own beliefs!"
"You are not my king, where is your crown, you look like an idiot on land——you do not belong to us! Your brother Lord Orm should be the king of Atlantis, but he is so pedantic that he obeys the law and voluntarily gives up the throne!"
[Hongshou Organization] regards the world on land as filthy, and they oppose any contact between Atlantis and the land.
Perhaps more than anything else, what they hate most is that their king was born on land.
Boom!
Sea King Arthur waved the Sea King Trident and split the steel shackles on the sea beasts:
"You started a war! You tied hydrogen bombs to these enslaved sea beasts... Let me guess, you want to swim into an unguarded American port and blow up a city! "The [Hongshou Organization] has been waiting for your action, 'King', but you didn't. You love your surface so much that you dare not face our power." A bald Hongshou Organization leader, Kulunlas, roared:
"The people on the land are polluting our oceans! Destroying our living environment! And we should fight back!"
He drove the heavy artillery carried by the giant beast and shot Aquaman Arthur away.
"The flames of the hydrogen bomb will carry our message to the land! The surface will burn, for Atlantis!"
"No! Not for Atlantis." Aquaman recovered and rushed towards the people of the [Hongshou Organization] again: "This is definitely not 'for Atlantis'!"
At the same time, in the palace of Atlantis.
"The king attacked his own people to save the people on the land."
Someone said so.
"They are terrorists, Commander Mook, they are not 'our people'." Meila stood by and refuted the loyal commander of the Atlantis army "Mook".
"The Sea God knows that the underwater world and the land world have been at odds for a long time, but you heard what Arthur said... The Hong Beast Organization has prepared a hydrogen bomb. They put the hydrogen bomb in the saddle naan. They can destroy a western coastal city in an instant, which will immediately involve both worlds in the war."
The Sea King's lover Meila turned around and asked the person next to her: "Captain Sack, is there any sign that the Americans know what is going to happen?"
"Not yet, but if the battle gets a little closer to the land, it may not be certain. Do we need to deploy mobile forces to help Your Majesty? Even use all our troops?"
"Wait a little longer, Captain Sack. Mobilizing our elite special forces or the entire military force of Atlantis will cause an international incident, which will easily discover the existence of our world."
Meila heard her man's roar through the communication channel:
"They use implants to destroy your nerves, old sea beast, I can feel your pain. Be free, and throw the man who enslaves you off your back!"
"No! You stopped me from destroying Boston, false king! That bomb will still evaporate this coast! The voice of the Hong Beast will still-"
Bang!
A muffled sound.
"Meira, it's over. Send someone to tie up the prisoners, and then take good care of the enslaved sea beasts."
...
...
...
"Yeah, right, right, put it here. I asked Mudface to make seven or eight fake ones, but I really decided to bury it here."
This is the territory of the Red of All Living Things. Chen Tao is in a building at this time, and President Clinton is next to him.
Killer Croc kept the door open, and everyone witnessed the mother box being placed in this building that was protected by magic and hidden in an extremely deep place.
"We should go."
When the group completely disappeared in the Red of All Living Things, this building specially built to store the mother box also disappeared in the air of the Red of All Living Things. He stood there quietly, and no one knew.
However, after a while,
"Open the door of the cave, lead the blood of the opener of the red portal of all living beings! (The door is opened with the blood of the opener of the red portal of all living beings.)"
A portal suddenly appeared, and Chen Tao, who maintained the posture of the bat wizard, returned here again.
He checked his body for the last time to see if there was any body tissue of Mud Face left on his body, to ensure that even Mud Face would not know what he had done.
After passing through layers of security measures, he appeared in front of the two mother boxes, and then the power of the metal spirit condensed in his hands, combined with the irony magic recited by the bat wizard, to create two other metal cubes that were exactly the same as the mother boxes.
He took the two mother boxes down and held them in his hands, and then stuffed the fake ones in.
"Alas, it is still this reassuring..." Chen Tao muttered while holding up the two mother boxes.
Then he opened his mouth.
The next second, his skin turned green, his sharp teeth stretched out, and he turned directly into a dinosaur's head. His long and sharp tongue rolled up, and with a gulp, he swallowed the two mother boxes into his stomach.
"Burp!"
He burped loudly, his stomach bulged slightly, and the two mother boxes were stacked together in his stomach.
He was a little over 1.8 meters tall, and there was more than enough space in his stomach and chest to put two mother boxes the size of an ordinary person's head.
As for the internal organs?
After loading the Batmobile, Chen Tao had already become a monster of the metal spirit, and that kind of thing could be transformed into mechanical parts at any time to make room.
