Chapter 1724 Bruce Wayne and the Prisoner of the Batcave (VII)

Chapter 1698 Bruce Wayne and the Prisoner of the Batcave (VII)

Temporary gathering place for superheroes in Washington.

This is one of Batman's safe houses scattered around the world. It is nominally the headquarters of a luxury vacation company that sells yachts and provides sea route services. Superheroes have been active here for some time, including Batman.

No Bat safe house is a dark, narrow, and dilapidated cellar. Batman has plenty of ways to get reasonable approval and build a base openly.

A vacation company that arranges routes and provides services for the rich will of course build its headquarters large and luxurious. There is a resort hotel here that is not open to the public and only accepts private reservations. It consists of an activity building and a conference building. On the surface, it provides privacy protection for the rich who come here for consultation, but in fact it is just to cover up the activities of superheroes.

When Superman walked out of the room, he was not even wearing a uniform. His hair, which was always neatly combed behind his head, had several strands on his forehead and several strands behind his head. Superman didn't even want to use his superpowers to smooth them out.

He instinctively reached into the kangaroo-like pocket on the front of his sweatshirt, took out the black-framed glasses and tried to put them on, then he remembered that he was in a superhero base, not a reporter's apartment in Metropolis.

He sighed softly, casually brushed his hair, put the glasses back in his pocket, walked towards the bathroom, and then met Wonder Woman, who also had messy black hair, face to face.

"God, this is the ten thousandth time I swear this year that we shouldn't have drunk so much last night." Wonder Woman took a deep breath, tapped her temple with the base of her palm and said, "Letting yourself get drunk is really a very bad habit, it's really very..."

"Good morning, Diana." Superman greeted very politely, he opened his eyes hard and said, "It's not that alcohol has any harm to us, but are you sure we are drunk like this because Batman didn't drug us?"

Wonder Woman waved her hand hard and said, "Don't tell ghost stories early in the morning, isn't he weird enough recently?"

"It won't be weirder than the two of you blocking the bathroom door."

A black shadow appeared silently, of course Batman should appear like this, Superman looked back at him in confusion, of course Batman should put on a bat suit at 5:30 in the morning, the cape is not wrinkled, and even every bat dart is polished to a shine.

"Honestly, Batman, why do you think that you won't treat us to a drink as you have other intentions? Do you think we only have seven seconds of memory?" Superman narrowed his eyes and said with some dissatisfaction.

"I just hope you can stop those ridiculous speculations, even if you get drunk."

Wonder Woman raised her hand in a state of collapse, then slid it down and said, "How can you let us not speculate? Your hometown, your little baby, and Gotham, where people usually shout like rock stars when they approach you, are now almost in ruins, and you, you just spent a week in our base!"

"I've said it many times, Batman, if there are any difficulties that cannot be solved, I can..."

"There are no difficulties that cannot be solved."

"Oh, of course you do." Superman shook his head. Shaking his head, not wanting to discuss this issue anymore, he walked into the bathroom and said, "I think getting Batman out of Gotham is much more important than investigating Darkseid."

"You should drink more."

Wonder Woman gathered her hair, turned around and walked a few steps away from the bathroom door to show her gentlemanly spirit, then leaned against the wall with her arms folded and said, "You didn't use ginger ale instead of whiskey yesterday, what happened? Batman?"

Batman turned down the corners of his mouth, revealing a very classic "Although it seems that I don't want to explain on the surface, it's actually difficult for me to explain" expression.

Obviously, no one in the world can read such a complicated expression from another person's face except Batman, so Wonder Woman shook her head and turned to the stairs, saying, "Okay, that's it, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

She didn't have any hope that Batman would explain, and she never considered that there was really one thing in the world that was difficult for Batman to explain-his biological parents were now busy throwing missiles at each other's heads in his Gotham, and his children were now busy throwing missiles at everyone else's heads in his Gotham, and the main reason why he couldn't throw missiles at their heads was that his mortal enemy was waiting to see his joke at his home.

Batman cares about Gotham, but he cares more about the Joker.

After some thought, Batman decided to leave his city temporarily, but it was not entirely because the myriad of things in it could not be sorted out, and he himself needed some time to accept the fact that his future life might be a little too full, and part of it was because of Darkseid who had been eyeing him.

Batman is sure that Darkseid must have some special means to detect the equation in his hand. During this period of time, Green Lantern Hal frequently provided him with information, saying that the Green Lantern Corps had noticed the abnormal movement in the universe, and it was very likely that some evil existence had set its sights on the earth again, and Batman knew that it was Darkseid.

Schiller provided him with some information about Darkseid, but it was more like his personal speculation. Even so, it was still useful, at least letting Batman know that his next opponent was very likely to be an alien king, and like all tyrants, he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

So, Batman has been staying in the base for the past week. He is trying to analyze some mysterious cosmic signals provided by the Green Lantern Corps, which is considered to be a precursor to Darkseid's mobilization of troops to besiege the earth.

But of course, Wonder Woman and Superman will be puzzled by this, because they have also seen the current situation of Gotham from the news. The spokesperson of the FBI said that they would no longer ignore the city. Both of them understood that this kind of statement was a provocation to Batman, and Batman would not tolerate it.

But Batman tolerated it.

This made the two of them unable to suppress their curiosity. Even though they knew that Batman could not provide more explanations, they still couldn't help but ask from time to time, wanting to know what made Batman change his personality.

Of course, this frequent probing and questioning did not bring a real answer, but it did bring Batman's generous drinks - boxes of high-quality Scottish malt whiskey. They got drunk last night.

Coming out of the bathroom, Superman finally sorted out his somewhat confused thoughts. He came to the activity room and threw himself on the sofa. He looked at Batman standing in the corner and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, but thank you for the wine, no matter what you put in it."

"I didn't put anything in it."

"It must be the recent stress that made us drunk." Wonder Woman reached out and pushed her long hair behind her head, half leaning and half sitting on the windowsill and said, "I have felt extremely tired since you found us to guard against a crazy alien king."

"Because we originally took the initiative to fight crime in our respective territories, but now we have to stay together and passively guard against alien invasions of the earth." Superman rubbed his forehead and continued, "We don't know when the disaster will come, we can only interpret the signals over and over again. This kind of nervous waiting is much more tiring than swinging fists."

Superman recalled the scene when Batman found him. Of course, they knew each other before, but when Batman suggested that they should find more helpers, Superman realized that the problem was not simple.

The intuition from the super brain told him that the so-called Darkseid's invasion of the earth should have a purpose other than simply destroying humans, but he didn't think about it carefully. Anyway, no matter what the purpose was, he must stop it.

The second person to join was not Wonder Woman, but Green Lantern, but Superman guessed that this should be Batman's targeted move. After all, the Green Lantern Corps is very active in the universe. If you want to keep an eye on an alien monarch, Hal is the best choice.

Then of course there is Flash, he and Batman are also old friends, followed by Wonder Woman, and finally Aquaman, but Aquaman doesn't live here now, and no matter how luxurious the hotel bathtub is, it can't compare to the sea.

Although they already have so many helpers, there has been no significant progress in this matter. Darkseid is mobilizing troops, but before he really attacks someone, even the Green Lantern Corps can't do anything to him, but this has put a lot of pressure on these superheroes.

Hal kept getting signals from the Green Lantern Corps. It seemed that Darkseid was gathering troops, and some dangerous actions had entered the Green Lantern Corps' assessment process, but Batman could not have any hope for these dangerous people flashing green light.

"Let's talk about your work." At this time, Wonder Woman decisively changed the subject, and no longer entangled with the reason why Batman stayed here. She said: "You said that you tried to hack into the signal terminal of Apocalypse before. Did you make any progress?"

"I intercepted part of the call channel, but I didn't hear Darkseid's voice. What I can be sure of is that his generals are mobilizing troops from the fringe star area. If they really come, it will be a tough battle."

"Don't tell me you really plan to stand here without making some preparations in advance."

"I'm standing here to prepare."

Superman frowned, and Wonder Woman also stared at Batman "Don't keep us in suspense. You don't have to tell us your entire plan in detail, but you have to tell us a direction so that we can cooperate."

"We lack the necessary force to stop Darkseid's army from the earth, or if we do so, we may lose the help of the Green Lantern Corps. Only when they really come to the earth, we will be the legitimate victims."

"But we can't sacrifice the earth..."

"We can't sacrifice the earth."

Batman nodded obediently. Wonder Woman and Superman stared at him, not knowing what his contradictory statement meant. Batman just sighed in his heart and said.

"But we can sacrifice Gotham."

Then he added in his mind.

"...if there is anything left in Gotham that can be sacrificed now."
