Chapter 278 The Birth of Zombie Superman
Superman lay on a strange-looking machine.
At this moment, they were in a huge isolation room, surrounded by various scientific instruments.
Lucius took a deep breath.
"Mr. Clark Kent, I hope you know that you are now lying on a modified cosmic treadmill. This thing was originally installed by Reverse Flash under his wheelchair when he disguised himself as a professor with a broken leg. Later, we dismantled it and modified it into a device that can transmit super speed. Batman also used it when reading the magic book..."
Lucius was a little nagging. No one would not be nervous when conducting an experiment or operation that "only has the possibility of success".
Especially his patient is called Superman, Clark Kent.
"In short, we have now figured out the cause of the disease."
Lucius said: "You were once infected by Doomsday spores. Even after Batman removed them, this thing has permanently changed your genetic structure."
"To put it simply." He paused: "Part of your cells are permanently combined with Doomsday spores, just like the process of complete Doomsday transformation after using Doomsday potion."
He emphasized: "This should be an irreversible process, but it was forcibly interrupted by Batman in some way. The Doomsday spores were forcibly extracted, and what about the cells that combined with them?"
"Your cells are mutating."
Chen Tao said: "Those cells are no longer complete because the Doomsday spores were extracted. The worst thing is that those dead cells are still alive. "
"They still retain some of the characteristics of Doomsday cells, but at the same time have the characteristics of absorbing the energy of the Yellow Sun to become stronger. Even if they are biologically dead, they can still manipulate cells to keep moving. Their number was not large originally, and it can even be said that they are pitifully small among the tens of thousands of cells in your body."
"Originally, you lost your superpowers because your own cells were self-protecting when facing those Doomsday cells." Chen Tao said: "It took us a while to figure out that those healthy and normal Kryptonian cells were accumulating the energy of the Yellow Sun to resist, and bit by bit, they were destroying those abnormal cells in your body. Normal cells, until..."
"Until I suddenly regained my superpowers two days ago when I was facing a traffic accident, and then flew high into the sky to catch the tanker that was about to fall from the suspension bridge." Clark said: "After doing all this, I lost my superpowers again."
"You overdrew the yellow sun energy in your normal cells, making them unable to contain these dead Doomsday cells without Doomsday spores.
These Doomsday cells continue to proliferate in your body, like cancer everywhere. They seize the yellow sun energy that originally belonged to normal and healthy cells and vigorously strengthen themselves. "
"So, you are dying." Chen Tao said: "This is not a joke, if we don't intervene If you continue to deteriorate, this is very likely to happen. "
Speaking of this, Chen Tao couldn't help but say:
"Damn, what kind of Kryptonian cancer is this? Originally, your condition was not very serious. Even those Doomsday cells were so few that you even had the spare energy to maintain the most basic superpowers such as perspective eyes and biological standpoint veil at the beginning, but you were too anxious. You knew that you had no superpowers, but you still rushed up and tried to pull the tanker that was about to fall off the bridge. "
Chen Tao said: "You are forcing your cells to save your life. You are forcing them to return the power originally used to suppress those Doomsday cells to you so that you can save people, which led to the collapse of your body. "
Clark was silent for a while.
"I'm sorry."
He said: "I also vaguely felt that my cells have been doing something. But people need help. "
Chen Tao sighed. Things have already happened, and no matter what he said, it would not help.
Clark's problem was not in his plan. He originally planned to concentrate on finding a way to cure Clark after solving Darkseid. Now such a thing happened, it was really caught off guard.
As Chen Tao thought about this, he looked down and saw Clark lying on the bed turning his head to look at his girlfriend Louise Lane who was sitting outside the isolation room. It was a one-way glass, and only the people inside could see outside.
At this time, the female reporter was sitting on the seat outside with some worry. Her left hand gently supported her belly, and her right hand was a little tangled in turning the non-existent flower rope.
Miss Louise, a famous reporter who was always in a hurry, as if she would start shouting at any time, but her quiet appearance at this time made Chen Tao a little uncomfortable.
He sighed, stood by the window, and softened his tone a little:
"Are you really going to lie to Louise like this? You don't plan to tell her the true condition of your body at all?"
Clark smiled.
"Louis is pregnant. Even if he knew what was wrong with my body, he couldn't do anything. I understand this feeling of powerlessness, so it's better not to tell her. But it would make you the bad guy who forced me to continue to help you." "First of all, congratulations. Secondly, no, no, not at all." Chen Tao said: "Even if there is nothing wrong with your body, when I have time, I will start to think of ways to let you help me."
He said sincerely: "Don't expect me to let you go so easily. I am the only one who will retire." Clark smiled and said nothing. He knew Batman was joking. Chen Tao continued: "But not now. No one knows whether the Speed Force and the Reverse Speed Force can have an effect on your body. As for me, if your body is not at this point, I will not take the risk... Forget it, there is no point in saying this now-Lucius. It's time to start." "Yeah." Lucius, who was called by name, came up, and his expression seemed a little solemn. Chen Tao raised his wrist guard, and the communicator installed on the arm armor lit up, showing the time. "The operation will start in 10 minutes." Chen Tao said, and then he turned around and walked out of the room. But along the corridor, he did not appear next to Louis Lane, but came to another room. There, the bald Bane was sitting cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation. "Get up, don't be in a trance, Bane. I asked you to come here, not to let you practice next to the operating room. If Lucius fails, I ask you to use the Black of Decay to temporarily stop the spread of Clark's injuries." Chen Tao said, "For me, Clark's accident is an unacceptable result, do you understand?" Bane nodded. "Very good." Chen Tao said a few words in a hurry, and after getting the response he wanted, he immediately turned around and left, without any ambiguity. It is not his style to entrust everything to Lucius. He always has to have a failure alternative plan. ... ... ... ... ... In a dimension that can only be reached through the teleportation channel opened by the meditation mite magic. This latitude is full of active volcanoes, and the air is filled with a lot of sulfur and various gases. This is the temporary place where the meditation mite and Dr. Shivana found to stay, and it is also a sufficiently secret shelter. At this moment, the voice of the big insect meditation mite sounded in this shelter. "Hiss, hiss, hiss... Cyborg is finished." Meditation Mite had swelled to the size of an elephant. Due to absorbing too much magic power, his whole body showed a crystal clear balloon feeling. This made him look even more disgusting.
Standing in front of him was Reverse Flash, who was wearing a yellow uniform and still stained with blood.
"You did a good job, Reverse Flash. The information you brought helped us a lot." Meditation Mite said this, and began to be silent as if his brain was lacking oxygen, and then uttered some upside-down syllables, and finally said:
"The plan needs to be changed. We have completely lost the advantages brought to us by the spies under our allies, especially after our own spies were also removed."
He turned his head and said to Dr. Sivana beside him:
"We have to go ahead. Tell Steppenwolf that we need his help to join forces with us to kill the monsters we brought out of the monster land."
He said: "Only by summoning Darkseid can we be sure of victory-"
Swish!
Before the mite finished speaking, Reverse Flash turned into a residual image and disappeared directly in front of him, but the next second he was directly detained by the magic prepared in advance.
And the mite finally stopped pretending to be an idiot: "Did you find it? A keen intuition, but it can't save you."
At this time, Reverse Flash was bound by light blue transparent magic chains all over his body, and had completely fallen into his palm, but the other party still squeezed his body desperately, making a humming sound.
"Don't blame me for wanting to catch you." The mite said, "I still don't understand why you do all this. It's terrible that a person without a purpose actually helps me like this."
As he said this, he tried to reach out his hand or tentacles to touch Reverse Flash, and then he was surprised to find that Reverse Flash, who was locked by the magic chain, showed a weird smile.
Mite seemed to realize something and released the restraint on Reverse Flash's mouth.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous. Although I had thought that you might cross the river and burn the bridge, I didn't expect it to be so fast."
Reverse Flash raised his head, half of his body began to become transparent, until it became completely air, and after a while, the whole person disappeared from the spot.
What the meditation mite just caught was a remnant of the speed force time.
(Note: A high-end application skill of the speed force, traveling to the future two minutes later to help oneself fight.)
...
...
...
Squeak...!
As the door of the cabin opened, Lois Lane saw Batman who was a little uneasy and Lucius, a black man with a pale face following him.
Bane, who was inserted with a tube, followed the two of them out of the room, with a flower on his head.
"What happened to you?" Lois asked, "Where is Clark? He is not... oh."
Lois stopped halfway through her words, her eyes passed behind Bane and stayed on Clark, and then she couldn't help but say a swear word.
Because Clark's arms and body were completely fine, but his face was just a face.
It turned into a rotten appearance like a zombie.
