"Why do we!! Have to plant so much land?!!!" Batman shouted.
"Because!! There is so much land here!!" Clark shouted.
"That totally!! Exceeds!! Our needs!!"
"We!! Actually!! Have no needs!!!"
"Then why... Go down first!! It's too windy up there!!" Batman shouted.
After the two of them were full of wind, they finally thought of landing and talking. As soon as Batman's feet touched the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Clark in his universe would not approach him without his permission, or at first he would, but since Batman installed a kryptonite shocker on his armor, Superman learned not to touch Batman easily.
Later, he developed a habit, so even if Batman did not wear armor specifically for Superman, Superman would rarely have physical contact with him.
As a result, he forgot that the Clark in this universe might be a young man just starting out in the small town, and it seemed that the young Bruce did not wrap himself up tightly, so he was completely unprepared.
Of course, it was also because Clark was too skilled in catching him. In the first two seconds of going up to the sky, Batman did not even feel the change in the center of gravity. He guessed that Clark must have caught Bruce in this way many times, so that he had practiced the feeling.
But Batman did not think that any Batman would like to be taken to the sky by Superman. Batman, who was suspicious by nature, did not like the feeling of flying without a landing.
Wait, does that Bruce have wings himself?
So the two of them will fly together?
Batman did not want to associate this scene at all, so he planned to change the topic and get the conversation back to the point.
"There is no need for us to waste our energy on making more survival supplies than needed." Batman said, because he was facing a new Superman, so he was still more tactful, and he would usually only say other things.
"Yes, if it's just the three of us, it's a bit difficult, but we have five members in our team, if you count Little Bu, who can provide us with guidance."
"Oh, by the way, you haven't seen those two members yet, they went to participate in the game and haven't come back yet, but they have won two rounds of the game, they are very powerful contestants, I bet you will like them."
This is a good opportunity to get information, Batman thought, so he asked, "Who are the other two members?"
"You will see them when they come back, but before that, we have to find Diana first. If she really hunts a deer, she will need help."
After Clark finished speaking, he was about to fly up and lift Batman into the sky again. This time Batman was prepared and rolled to the side to avoid Clark's action.
Clark flew in the sky, with his hands on his waist, saying, "Your shoes don't look like they can be worn in the primitive jungle. Otherwise, you stay at the base and I'll go over to take a look?"
After hesitating for a while, Batman felt that he should indeed visit their base, because in his speculation, there would definitely be scenes where the two teams would meet and test and fight.
Now that Superman and Wonder Woman are so high-profile and fly into the sky at any time, they will probably soon attract other people's investigation. Since he replaced Batman in their team, he naturally had to act as the strategic and tactical leader, and surveying the terrain was the key.
"You go, I'll stay here," Batman said.
Clark flew away in a whoosh.
Batman was stunned.
He just saw very clearly that Clark didn't hesitate for even a second, turned around and soared towards the distance, and turned into a distant light spot on the skyline. This set of small combos was very coherent.
More importantly, he didn't ask anything.
This is not normal at all. Batman thought about it and realized that even Superman, who had not yet become the Lord of Justice, would stare at him for a while with his arms folded in the air until he turned back to the house, and then fly away with a slightly dissatisfied expression. After landing, he would definitely complain to Wonder Woman first.
But Batman had just climbed onto the largest tree house and was about to walk around the house when he saw Clark and Diana flying back, one carrying a deer and the other carrying a wild boar. It took less than a minute from Clark's departure to his return.
The two threw the prey under the roots of the towering tree. Batman stood on it and shouted to the people below: "Don't leave it there, it might attract predators."
"I'll freeze them." Clark said with a cold breath: "Or do you have a way to make bacon and cured meat?"
Batman thought for a while, then said: "Is there a tree hole here?"
"There is one over there." Diana pointed to a slightly thinner tree next to it and said: "And it's very high, above our house."
"Then throw the frozen meat in, and then seal the hole to prevent birds of prey from coming in." Batman walked down the stairs of the tree house and looked down at Clark and Diana's prey.
The deer is a fawn, but the pig is an adult wild boar. Batman turned around and said, "Can frozen meat be kept fresh?"
"I can only freeze it normally." Clark said with some embarrassment, "Just like the freezer layer of a refrigerator, if you want the kind of fresh-locking low-temperature freezing, you have to wait for our other teammate to come back."
"Let's deal with the ingredients for dinner first." Diana threw the woven fish basket on the ground and said, "They should be back soon. Maybe we can study putting a trap on the tree hole at that time. The intestines of poultry are still very useful."
Then she turned her head to look at Batman and asked, "Do you want to go with Clark to see his farmland, or cook with me, or just walk around by yourself?"
Batman paused again and said, "We don't need such a large farmland."
"This is related to the reality of our universe. We need to continuously improve our farming technology. This is a pretty good test field. If you don't want to work hard, come and help me make a fire." Diana said as she carried the fish basket to the flat land next to her.
Batman stood between the two and hesitated for a while, then found that Clark and Diana were walking in two directions without looking back, and no one paid attention to him, so he finally decided to follow Clark.
It was not because he wanted to farm, but compared to Diana who had lived for a long time, Clark who had just left the town was easier to talk to. He wanted to know what the so-called reality and their universe were all about.
The people and things here gave Batman a strange feeling, and he didn't know how to describe it. The words to describe this feeling hovered in a hidden corner of his heart, but there was no way to let him speak it out.
He followed Clark and walked to the place where he had just circled. The direction there was easy to identify, because a large area of trees there were cut down by heat rays, and the sunlight came in, which was much brighter than the surroundings.
They walked through the tall trees and stepped through the layers of bushes. Batman looked at Clark and asked, "Don't you fly?"
Clark shook his head and said, "If you always fly in the sky, you won't be able to observe the land under your feet in detail, whether the fallen leaves have been decomposed, whether the land is still moist, and if you don't know these, you can't build a home."
Batman seemed a little shocked. He slowed down and looked at Clark and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Because I am a farmer's child." Clark smiled at Batman and said, "Before coming here, I drove a tractor to plow the land."
"You..."
Batman couldn't make a sound after spitting out a word. He wanted to respond to this sentence, but after thinking about it carefully, he had nothing to comment on, because he rarely heard Superman talk about his family.
Of course he knew what Superman's parents were called and that his family had a large farm, but Batman had never heard Clark mention farming. He should have farmed, or didn't he?
"You haven't been admitted to college yet?" Batman asked.
"No, I've graduated from Metropolitan University and worked as a reporter there for a while, but I recently quit." Clark sighed and said, "There are too many things to do."
"Are you going back to inherit the farm?"
Clark shook his head and said, "My father has no plans to do this yet. He thinks he can do it for at least another 10 years. Of course, he said 20 years, but I don't think that will work. He will become like the oldest tractor in our family, making a clanking sound. My mother doesn't agree with that."
"I've been helping my good friend recently." Clark looked up at the land that had been tidied up by the heat ray and said, "But I'm not as good as him and can't do anything great. I've been doing this recently."
"What?" Batman asked.
"That's it." Clark's eyes flashed with another heat ray, a piece of forest was cut down and the roots were turned out, and then a ray accurately hit the land that had just been cut down, the soil rolled and fell, and a straight field was plowed out.
Batman was still a little confused, he asked: "What is this?"
"I'm farming." Clark looked at him and blinked and said: "To be precise, I'm plowing the land, because we don't have enough tractors, most of them are used for harvesting, that's what happens during the busy farming season."
Batman finally found the key to the problem, he asked: "Where do you farm?"
"Mexico."
"Why go there?"
"Because people there need to farm." Clark continued to walk forward, Batman could see that he was very skilled in the use of heat rays, at least in plowing straight fields.
Batman almost blurted out why people there needed to farm, and then he found that the question was too stupid, there is no place in the world that does not need to farm, human survival requires carbohydrates, which can only be given by land.
"I mean, do you have a farm in Mexico?"
"We have a lot of land, but I don't think it can be called a farm." Clark sighed and said, "At least it's definitely not a farm in the normal imagination. There are land, seeds and people, but planting is a difficult task."
Batman seemed to have thought of something. He stared at Clark and asked, "Who is the friend you are talking about?"
"Oliver, Oliver Queen, and of course Hal Jordan. Lois also went there recently. She wanted to write a long report, but she hasn't finished it yet."
Batman had a bad feeling, so he looked at Clark and said, "You have a large piece of land in Mexico."
Clark nodded and said, "And it was not bought."
Batman's lips moved.
"It was robbed." Clark answered the question he wanted to ask and said, "We launched a regional war in the south of Jalisco, around Guadalajara, and the land there is ours."
