Chapter 435: Damn, Aquaman has turned into a fish-headed man
"How's the situation with Aquaman?"
Chen Tao walked quickly in the corridor, followed by Martian Manhunter. Strictly speaking, although he was walking quickly, it was actually a way to delay time, because if he was really in a hurry, he would have flown directly to the other party from the window.
He was about to meet Meila, the wife of Aquaman Arthur. He didn't dare to tell her that he had been busy with the Green Lantern Corps during this period and didn't know anything about the disappearance of her husband, Aquaman Arthur, and had never followed up at all, so he could only delay time for a while and then let Martian Manhunter tell him what was going on urgently.
"Diana organized the manpower." Martian Hunter said: "During the time you were away, based on our dozens of hours of tracking, we finally found that Aquaman, who had left the battlefield at that time, was running all the way to the coastline." "Can he find the way in that state?" "He smashed the building with his superhuman body, and penetrated the wall with his iron head, and even knocked a human-shaped hole in the load-bearing wall of the building. He turned hundreds of houses along the way into dangerous buildings by himself. The bill has been included in the Justice League's accounting for the last quarter. We paid about..." "Let's get to the point." Chen Tao interrupted him: "Money is not a problem. I remember Lucius told me last time that Wayne Group has recently entered the real estate industry with Lex Group." "In short, He eventually reached the shore and jumped into the Pacific Ocean, and we lost Arthur's trail after he entered the water. Diana found the tracking system you left for each member of our league in the Justice League's computer in case of an emergency, and you left her the permission-"
"Well, I put trackers on each of you just to prevent emergencies."
"...I didn't say anything."
"...Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. Please continue."
"We eventually found that he swam into the Mariana Trench."
"That's the largest trench in the world."
"Yes, northeast of the Philippines, near the Mariana Islands, the ocean environment there is extreme, with high water pressure, complete darkness, and low temperatures. It is one of the most harsh areas on Earth." Martian Hunter continued: "Then Aquaman jumped in with a slam. , that place is a forbidden area that even the Atlanteans cannot set foot in. "
"The Justice League organized several exploration operations. In order to prevent misunderstandings from the Atlantis side, we did not go with them, but cooperated with Meira. You know her..."
"Aquaman's lover, are they married now?"
"The wedding has not yet taken place, but it will be soon. Anyway, with the help of Meira's water control magic, we dived to the bottom of the trench, and ended up encountering a large group of trench tribes. They are a group of frog-like races with sharp fangs that can tear steel. The submarine was attacked by them, and Meira used water control magic to kill some, but it was a drop in the bucket. We had to give up. "
"Later, we organized several more dives, but still couldn't find any trace of Aquaman. That place was too dark and too Big, I mean if Aquaman doesn't want us to find him, then we will never find him in our lifetime." Martian Hunter said, and then he added: "Of course this may seem a bit too unfair to Meira, I won't say it in front of her. She is a good woman, and has been running around for Arthur's affairs. Even though Arthur is temporarily missing now, she is still promoting the establishment of diplomatic relations between Atlantis and the government. She always feels that Arthur is just temporarily absent, and she can't interrupt Arthur's half-finished work..." "But forgive me for being blunt, without Arthur, even if Meira does more propaganda work, changes more land people's views on Atlanteans, even if we help her deal with the government people... Atlanteans will not obey her orders. Although Arthur Curry is not the king of Atlantis, he is at least the son of the previous king of Atlantis, and he has royal blood flowing in his body. Although he did not formally inherit the throne, he had been in the stage of prince regent before. Commander Muk and Regent Tula, these powerful figures among the Atlanteans are all staunch supporters of Arthur. They are staunch royalists and will support all Arthur's decisions even if they do not approve. But if you throw away Arthur's influence on them, these people are a group of outright conservatives, self-satisfied, stubborn and stubborn. I'm afraid I have to tell you, Batman..." Martian Hunter said in a deep voice: "I am responsible for communicating between the Justice League and the US government. But now the relationship between Atlantis and the government is very tense, and even the Justice League cannot mediate. Those Atlanteans don't listen to the Justice League at all. Arthur's disappearance has a profound and significant impact on us. We need Arthur, and we have to find him even if we have to dig three feet underground. "
The Martian Manhunter said: "Before you came back, due to repeated failures in diving into the trench, I had asked Flash and Lucius to help build a submarine that can use the speed force to accelerate, although the prerequisite is that Flash acts as a hamster in it to run and generate electricity. Now that you are back and brought Hal back, it's just right. With you building a protective shield outside the submarine with green light energy, we are not afraid of the attacks of the Trench Tribe. "
Then the Martian Manhunter paused, and then said in an affirmative tone:
"Although the tracking method for Arthur that Diana found in the Justice League computer system has failed under the huge water pressure of tens of thousands of meters under the sea, I think you must have hidden a method to track him, right?" Chen Tao turned his head: "I will not use that kind of tracking method on my teammates." Martian Manhunter showed a Batman-like disapproving look. Chen Tao did not speak. They walked and walked, and they were almost at the reception hall of the Justice League. "...Okay, that's right." Chen Tao finally raised his hands and admitted it. After understanding the general situation, Chen Tao passed Martian Manhunter and took the lead and walked directly to the hall. When he turned his back to Martian Manhunter, Chen Tao frowned and showed a thoughtful look. The problem mentioned by Martian Manhunter is indeed a bit serious. Many people think that Aquaman Arthur Curry is the least valued character in the Justice League, and even give him a nickname like "The Man Who Talks to Fishes", but many people actually forget that in a certain timeline, the war between Atlantis and Paradise Island almost destroyed the world. Chen Tao has been supporting Aquaman Arthur to establish real diplomatic relations between Atlantis and humans. At the beginning of the establishment of the Justice League, he even went to recruit Aquaman Arthur Curry for this purpose. He planned to help Aquaman conquer the Atlanteans, and then constantly improve the Atlanteans' favorability. The ultimate goal is to pull all the Atlanteans in as batteries.
Uh... this may sound like a villain's statement, but the Atlanteans are a group of real little supermen. Even the most ordinary Atlanteans can beat the strongest athletes among humans in terms of physical fitness and strength. Of course, this does not include villains who are Olympic gold medalists such as sports masters or javelin captains.
Not only when he knew he was going to face the Anti-Monitor, since he found that someone could help him share his power by pulling a rope, Chen Tao has been consciously looking for targets to help him share his power. Aquaman and Atlanteans are potential living battery targets that he has been preparing for early.
Chen Tao did not consider using ordinary people as batteries, but he soon came to the conclusion that this was impossible. Because the time they could withstand was too short, Killer Croc could help pull people down on the spot, but once there were too many people, such an operation would inevitably be impossible to take care of both.
Chen Tao would never cause casualties, so the nature of the search for living batteries would change. It is not that there have been no villains who have used ordinary people as batteries, but they don't care whether you live or die, they use them to charge to achieve their own goals, and your life or death is the end of the matter. Anyway, ordinary people in the DC world are just like leeks, and they will all be resurrected when the timeline is restarted, but Chen Tao would never do such a thing.
The Atlanteans are different. With millions of Atlanteans helping to share the burden, this is definitely a huge help. Chen Tao would never let the fruits he prepared in advance be unusable due to accidents or other reasons.
"You've been well prepared, Ron." Chen Tao said, "Arthur's matter can't be delayed any longer. Now I finally have time to spare. I must deal with this matter urgently. Go and prepare. We have to go to the trench to find Arthur. We must see him alive or dead."
The Martian Manhunter nodded, Chen Tao took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.
The next thing he had to face was the Queen of the Sea, Mera, who had lost her boyfriend. Chen Tao frowned and planned to send a message to the other members of the Justice League, asking them to all come to the reception hall, and then they would brainstorm and come up with a plan to save people. The Martian Manhunter had already used the speed force submarine that he and Barry had built together. Chen Tao went to contact Hal, and then they set off to...
Chen Tao opened the door.
He saw the Queen of the Sea, Mera, sitting on the sofa in the reception room, with an anxious look on her face.
Mira was a young woman in her 20s, with wine-red hair and wearing a green scale dress. Her face looked a little fierce, and she looked like a woman who was not easy to mess with, but at this moment, her face was full of sorrow and confusion, which swept away the fierceness on her face, and made me feel pity.
Chen Tao brewed his tone for a while: "I think you are Meila, don't worry, the Justice League has made full preparations to save Arthur, I am back now, and I will be able to..."
But his words were soon interrupted by the Queen of the Sea Meila.
Chen Tao heard the somewhat strange voice of the Queen of the Sea Meila: "Batman, I came to you this time not to urge the Justice League to find Arthur. Maybe this is difficult to say, but I have to tell you... Arthur has been found."
Chen Tao: "?"
"Isn't that a good thing?" He said: "Is there any problem with this?" Then he asked: "Well... wait, if he is back, why do you still come to the League headquarters? Is there any problem?"
"He went home by himself," Meila said: "But his condition is a little complicated now. Arthur is sick, very sick. Can you come to see him alone?"
More than 20 minutes later, Aquaman Arthur's home in Ci'en Port.
"I don't quite understand why the Justice League can't be with you." Chen Tao followed behind Meila and closed the door of the house. He said, "If Arthur is really back, shouldn't this be a good thing? Ron is still preparing to look for Arthur's submarine. I just told him not to look for it yet. Now..." Chen Tao stopped talking halfway. Because he saw a strong human body with a fish head sitting on the sofa in the room. The fish-headed monster was naked, and there were a bunch of fangs in the fish's mouth. It was a real fish head, and it looked like a carp or something. Chen Tao didn't know much about fish, but this was too outrageous. What kind of monster was this? ? ? Chen Tao had seen the shark king before. Although the other party was also a monster with a fish head, the other party at least looked more like a shark with hands and feet. But the thing in front of him, his body was still a human body, but his head suddenly turned into a fish, which seemed too weird. Chen Tao almost jumped up: "What, where's Arthur?"
He looked at the beastly creature that seemed to be cut directly from the head of a live fish by some existence, then enlarged and suddenly grafted onto a human body. Silver-white particles flashed on his body, and the high-speed bullets were synchronized on his body. He almost attacked the live fish-headed monster: "What are you?"
"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The fish-headed monster also jumped up from the sofa and gestured to Chen Tao anxiously. Chen Tao didn't understand a word. Seeing that Chen Tao didn't understand, the fish-headed monster became more anxious. He kept opening and closing his fish mouth, as if vomiting, and spit out a bunch of bubbles at Chen Tao, which dripped onto the floor of the living room. Then the fish-headed monster also realized this and hurriedly tried to close his mouth, but failed. Chen Tao wanted to attack him again. He wanted to catch the monster first and then figure out what happened, so it was a mess.
It wasn't until Meila stood in front of him that Chen Tao finally understood the situation... This guy was Arthur, and his current situation seemed a little different from what Chen Tao imagined.
His head had completely turned into a fish's. Chen Tao meant that he had a fish's head and truly became a fish-man!
