Chapter 284 Why not?
Shazam's speed was still very fast. Although he passed through several demonoid lairs, fortunately he had sufficient experience in dealing with demonoids, so there were no dangers along the way.
When he saw Gotham City appearing on the horizon from a distance, it was already the afternoon of the third day of his departure. During this time, Zhang Yi was also communicating with Barbara and others about the world. Development, and sorting out the few supplies left in the Batcave.
When Barbara and Kate found the real Batcave, it had been completely invaded by demonoids, and some Doomsday demonoids were even preparing to occupy it as their lair.
In the end, the Riddler detonated the bomb that Bruce had prepared under the Batcave at the cost of his life, thus cutting off the situation of those monsters stationed inside Gotham City.
However, although the explosion killed many demonoids, it also destroyed the resources of the Bat family in a sense. Except for the kryptonite buried under the ruins, most of the bat technology was It was destroyed in the explosion.
"I once cooperated with Black Mask. He sent people here to dig out a lot of weapons and technology, but those things were still not enough for the demonoids. Without resources, the kryptonite was used less and less. In the end, You have also seen his fate, the forces of Black Mask all fought together and died in Gotham Port."
Kate showed the contents of the warehouse in front of Zhang Yi and others and introduced them.
"Now these are the only things left here. Gotham is no longer suitable for living. There used to be more than a dozen shelters here, but now most of them have disappeared. The attacks of demonoids are very sudden, sometimes just overnight. , a well-equipped shelter will disappear.”
Looking quietly at the boxes of kryptonite, Zhang Yi could imagine the horrific scenes that people would have experienced at that time. Faced with enemies that even superheroes could not defeat, ordinary people had almost no ability to resist.
"Listen to what you said, the demonoids are very organized in their attack on Gotham. Unless they are beings who know Gotham very well, how could they directly attack and occupy the Batcave." Kara thought for a moment and came up with a guess.
"I understand what you mean, we have had similar thoughts before." Kate crossed her arms, with some anxiety on her brows.
"There is so much artificial kryptonite in the Batcave. No one knew about this before. If the Riddler hadn't exposed the existence of kryptonite when he blew it up, we wouldn't have known that Bruce would have so many kryptonite reserves. .”
Barbara also took up the conversation. "Clark said before that Batman may not be dead, which may make sense. No one except Batman would know Gotham so well, let alone take the initiative to destroy the Batcave."
Batman is indeed not dead, this is a fact that Zhang Yi has known for a long time, and not only Batman, but also everyone else in the Justice League except Aquaman and Hal Jordan.
After Darkseid defeated them, he transformed their bodies into semi-mechanical products. Cyborg was transformed into something similar to the "Wall of Origin". As for Batman, he was brainwashed by Darkseid and became his most powerful person. A loyal subordinate who advises him.
As for why Aquaman and Hal Jordan were not transformed, it is because they were two characters who died on the spot. One was dismembered by demonoids and the other was pierced by omega rays. The others were miserable but not dead, even if they were swallowed by flames. The Martian Manhunter breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you guys have any plans before?" Zhang Yi picked up a Batman mask and asked.
Barbara and Kate's main communication partner is Lois. Even if Superman has any plans, Lois will relay them to them.
"Apocalypse released large engines towards the Earth before. Two of them have been installed in the past two years, and a third one was released a few days ago."
Sighing, Barbara felt powerless every time she talked about things in this world.
"That is technology used to extract the core of the earth. If these things cannot be destroyed, the earth will be completely hollowed out in a few months. By then, the earth will also become a Death Star. Because of this, Superman thought We must counterattack Apokolips again."
"The counterattack on Apokolips depends on you guys?" Pietro frowned.
This is not to say that Pietro looked down on them, but that even the most powerful Justice League had failed, and these remaining guys wanted to fight on their home court again, which was no different from risking death.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Kate bit her lip, looking anxious. "We have tried our best. You can't understand how we got here in the past two years. To be honest, I'm tired. It's really hard to live this kind of life without hope."
"No one can guarantee whether this trip will be successful. Even we are not optimistic about this decision, but there is no way. We can't think of a better plan than this." Barbara came to Kate's side and gently said hugged each other.
Zhang Ye understood that they were just preparing to die. Perhaps as Kate said, they were living in days with no hope. This was different from all the super criminals they had faced before. This was a world of only despair. .
"Don't be so pessimistic yet. Maybe I have a way to deal with it." Zhang Yi said calmly.
Hearing this, Barbara and Kate's sluggish spirits changed a bit. They raised their heads and looked at Zhang Yi's face that had remained calm and firm from beginning to end, and their hearts were filled with confusion.
"Mr. Zhang Yi, I am very grateful to you and your friends for being willing to visit here, but" Kate took two steps forward and smiled palely. "I'm really happy from the bottom of my heart that you are willing to help us, but I can only say that you are a step too late."
If Zhang Yi and others could have come two years earlier, perhaps there would still be hope for the world to be saved, because at that time there were still countless beings on the earth trying to resist, but now, those people have died in the battle, and the core of the earth has been extracted. After two years, this place is no longer suitable for human habitation.
In Kate's eyes, it is completely impossible for this planet to return to its former state. The rivers are full of filth, the land is no longer fertile, and countless animals have become extinct. Even without Apokolips and Darkseid, This place is also ruined.
"It's not too late. You're still alive, so it's not too late." Zhang Yi came to Kate and said in a deep voice.
Kate's face froze. She really didn't know where Zhang Yi got the confidence to say such a thing.
"Don't you understand yet?"
Kate took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.
"Even if you have the power to kill Darkseid, it's useless. This planet has lost its vitality. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, we can really kill Darkseid and blow up Apokolips, and then Woolen cloth?"
Taking a step forward, Kate was almost in front of Zhang Yi.
"Tell me, where should those of us who are left live? Can you give us a planet?"
After swallowing, Zhang Yi's expression remained calm, and he looked at Kate. Zhang Yi had no intention of avoiding her gaze at all.
Then, Zhang Ye's voice sounded in Kate's ears.
".Why not?"
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
The entire Batcave felt like it was being swept by a cold wave, and everyone was silent. Even Barbara froze on the spot, looking at Zhang Yi at a loss.
Kate stared blankly into Zhang Ye's eyes, her pupils flashing. She couldn't believe what she just heard.
After pondering for a moment, Kate suddenly felt goosebumps when she saw that Zhang Ye didn't mean to joke. She was afraid that she was hearing hallucinations, so she couldn't help but ask.
"What did you say?"
"I said I have a way to give you a habitable planet." Zhang Yi repeated flatly. Carla and Pietro next to him already knew what Zhang Yi meant, and Zhang Yi continued.
"I don't know what you communicated with Dinah and Jason before, but in fact, in another wasteland world that is waiting for reconstruction, we really need people like you to rebuild it."
Kate took two steps back slightly. She blinked and felt that she was almost killed by the news. Now she just felt dizzy. "Dina told something about that world being occupied by super criminals, right?"
"It's much more than that." Zhang Yi shook his head. "It has been ruled by super criminals for more than 40 years. Now there are signs of the end of civilization. Morality has even declined to prehistoric society. If I want to change everything in that world, I am far from able to do it with my own power."
"so."
Zhang Yi looked serious and said seriously.
"I need you to change her!"
