Chapter 107 General Zod Arrives

"What is this, Doc? A comet or an asteroid?"

General Ryan walked into the observation room quickly, and Dr. Hamilton answered him very quickly: "Comets don't correct their course, General."

"I want you to take a good look before some amateur star observer sees it and causes panic."

"I don't know why, but this ship seems to have put itself into a synchronous orbit with the moon."

"Have you tried to get in touch with him?" General Ryan asked.

"They haven't responded yet."

"But my personal guess is that whoever is operating the spacecraft must want to make a stunning landing."

...

...

...

Early morning.

Clark appeared on the hillside next to his farm, his blue tights reflecting his red cloak.

He raised his head and let the moonlight caress his handsome face, which was as chiseled as an ancient Greek demigod.

He unfolded his biological stance and blocked all perceptions of others. If someone looked from a distance at this moment, they would only see a blurry mosaic, like a cloud of mist, suspended in the air about two feet above the ground.

He floated to a tombstone.

It read: "Dedicated to Jonathan Kent, beloved husband and father."

Clark slowly landed on the ground, and then sat cross-legged on the grass like an ordinary Kansas boy.

The evening breeze blew the tall grass around him, bringing up waves like the tide.

The breeze saw the moon, and the tide was silent.

"Hey, Dad."

He forced a smile at the tombstone, and then waved, as if someone was really sitting there to respond to him.

The young Superman was talking to the shadow left on the dust.

"I just came back from the Arctic, Dad. Our team from the Daily Planet just returned to Metropolis in the early morning, and I just put down my luggage."

"Sorry to come so late, you are always more of an early to bed, early to rise type. But... I... I want to talk to you, I just want you to know."

Superman covered his face.

"I'm sad, Dad. I don't think I can do it."

"I know what you and Mom expect, and I understand your original intention, but I can't do it."

He didn't say what he couldn't do specifically, nor did he say why he couldn't do it specifically. He just repeated "I can't do it" over and over again, venting his long-accumulated fear and pressure to a lonely grave.

The God of the World was immersed in negative emotions, and didn't notice the fine black sand floating over the hillside behind him.

Only in front of his father's grave, he just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Chen Tao carefully moved his body that was stuck to the ground like a big burrito.

Clark Kent was located by satellite all the way, and it was hard to find Superman's hometown in the scattered villages and countless towns with the same name in Kansas. If it was discovered at this time, it would be a failure.

He just checked here and found that Alfred had never been found. This is indeed Kent Farm, but it was almost ten years ago.

With the death of Jonathan Kent, they transferred most of the land on the farm, leaving only a small piece around the house.

Although it is still called Kent Farm, in the records of the city hall, this farm has become another name, connected to another larger farm, and you can't find this place on the map at all.

Chen Tao guessed that this must be Jonathan Kent's arrangement for his own funeral before his death.

This farmer in Kansas hid his family in the vast farm group in Kansas, and then he didn't know how to make himself and his family's residential address disappear from the census statistics.

More than ten years later, the father's careful planning for his son really worked, helping Clark Kent resist the first investigation of him by a time traveler named Chen Tao.

This feat of a farmer who may not even have a college diploma is touching.

"...I have been lonely all my life. I have been lonely since I was a child because I don't know how to disguise myself to fit in with the group. No matter what I do, they can tell that I am different. I have no choice..."

Clark Kent said ramblingly:

"...But now I can choose. Now I know how to fit in and pretend to be an ordinary person. This is what I want and dream of..."

He looked at his tights in confusion, looked down at the S-shaped logo on his chest, and then continued:

"If my identity is exposed, if people see my ability, I can only escape from society forever..."

Behind him, Chen Tao was cautious and didn't dare to breathe. Fortunately, he was now equipped with the Batmobile and synchronized with the Broken Bat, so he didn't need to breathe all over his body-

This greatly enhanced his ability to sneak in, so that he would not be discovered by the Kryptonians with keen hearing at the beginning.

He tried to make the sound of his body rolling on the grass sound like the sound of fine dust being blown by the wind.

"... Worse, I would be forced to choose loneliness. I was powerless to choose before, but now I can. I should choose to enjoy life happily. Isn't that what you want? You want me to be happy?

"But I just don't want you to think that I have forgotten everything you taught me."

"I can do more to help people, whether it is public or not. I can treat diseases, expose corruption, and lend a hand to ordinary people in times of crisis."

"These things mean as much to me as they did back then. They mean as much to me as they mean to you. I won't let you down, Dad, I swear."

Superman turned his head and looked behind him.

This action almost made Chen Tao's heart stop for half a second.

But he just looked at the glow in the sky.

"It looks like it will be a good day today. I really hope you can see it too. I really hope you are still here."

"I love you, Dad."

He whispered:

"I love you and miss you very much. Mom loves you too."

"Let's talk next time--"

Then the next second, the young Kryptonian heard a voice beside his ear.

"The Earth needs your help, Clark."

The voice was very soft, but it sounded like thunder behind his ears.

Clark trembled all over. Who could approach him so quietly? Who could deceive his super senses?

Since he first awakened his ability in elementary school, no one has been able to walk behind him quietly!

Superman's eyes glowed red for a moment, and then immediately dissipated into nothingness under the influence of reason.

He slowly turned around and tried his best to open the biological stance to the maximum.

"Who are you?"

Then he saw the pointed ears.

"You are Batman. "

He asked and answered himself.

Bruce Wayne, the rich man from Gotham, left a deep impression on him. Louis had always hoped to dig out some comments about Gotham City's vigilante Batman from him, and Clark Kent, who had not paid much attention to Batman before, was also well-known-

Wait.

It was like a lightning bolt hit Clark Kent's head.

"...I'm from Gotham, what, you ask Batman..."

"...Just a minute ago, Clark Kent stumbled with milk marks on his mouth..."

"...Batman is great! Because I am..."

"...You are the spokesperson for contradictions, Clark..."

"Mr. Wayne? Why are you here?"

"...I came here to see the alien spaceship..."

"Because I am Batman! "

Boom!

It was like some kind of electric current rushed from the soles of his feet to his brain, making Clark Kent shudder for a moment!

The expressions that Bruce Wayne had shown, ignored by him, or noticed but never cared about repeatedly emerged in his mind. He immediately mobilized his perspective eyes, but still couldn't see through the other party's mask.

"I guess you must be using your perspective eyes now." He heard the man who called himself Batman on the other side say as if there was a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his mouth: "Give up, I have studied you, your perspective eyes can't penetrate lead. And my mask is lined with a lot of lead."

Then Chen Tao continued: "Don't think about seeing through other places, the armor I am wearing now is also blocked by lead. Although my butler sewed my name on my underwear, your perspective eyes can't see it. "

"Okay, Mr. Bruce Wayne." Clark said: "What do you want to get from me?"

Clark said: "You are willing to expose your true identity for this?"

"Tsk tsk tsk. "

Chen Tao slowly took off his helmet: "Really, since it's just a guess, don't be so sure, Clark."

In the morning light, he looked up, and Clark Kent saw the familiar face.

His voice softened.

No matter who it is, if you give you more than 500,000 US dollars in a week, you will not be able to be tough when facing him in any situation.

Although there were some guesses before, it was still difficult for Clark to accept when the other party personally confirmed such a guess.

Chen Tao said: "It's okay if you guessed it right like this time. If you guessed wrong, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

"So, Clark Kent, as the basis of our mutual trust, shouldn't you also stop the mysterious veil on you?"

Clark stopped the biological stance acting on his face.

He heard the Gotham rich man say to him: "Yes, that's right, my extraordinary friend. I hope you can help save the earth, Clark. Of course, thank you for your contribution. "

"My contribution?" Clark felt that his mind was still a little confused, and he said, "What are you talking about?"

"I have been to your fortress in the Arctic before." Chen Tao told him: "As I told you and Louis before, I stole a lot of alien technology from it."

Clark looked at this guy who had no scruples about stealing and said as a matter of course:

"This is all necessary. Everything is for mankind. By the way, I don't understand some of the stolen things. Do you have a manual for me to see?"

"It turns out that the projection on the spacecraft told me that the reason why so many parts were missing was because of you... Forget it." Clark opened his mouth and said a few words, and then quickly fell into silence: "Just pretend I didn't say this. You said-"

"I know. Are you going to ask me about saving the earth? Oh, Clark, you don't think you are the last son of Krypton, do you?"

Batman's words made him forget about his theft in an instant, and his heart beat.

"Let me tell you a name, General Zod. You can ask your father... I mean my biological father, the projection on the spacecraft-"

...

More than 10 minutes later, Chen Tao walked on the path away from Kent Farm.

He stood in front of a small mound of earth.

"Baso Caro! Mudface? Get up quickly, stop pretending to be a small mound of earth."

Chen Tao said: "Superman's biological mother has been found, and there are so many ordinary people in the town around him. Superman may be very busy next time and should not have time to pay attention to what is happening in his hometown."

"So it's time to work, it's time to use the old trick again!"

The mudface man stood up from the ground with a gurgling sound.

After sending away the mudface who was wandering like a piece of slime, Chen Tao called Poison Ivy: "Ivy, I want you to help me practice."

"About how to control metal creations like controlling plants."

...

...

...

With a bang, Bane fell to the ground.

Ms. Shiva stepped on him and symbolically pulled out the tube inserted in his back.

"I, Bane... am not a..."

"Stepping stone!"

Before Bane finished speaking, he spat out a lot of white foam from his mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness: "Roar!"

But he had just roared halfway when Ms. Shiva stepped on his neck and the whole person was suffocated.

Shiva jumped off the other person lightly: "Little Jason, I am so disappointed. I thought I would face a martial arts master, but you made me face a muscular beast. This is not challenging at all."

Jason wiped the sweat from his head. Although he was wearing a red hood at the moment, even if he stretched out his hand, he could only touch the smooth forehead of the hood.

"Bane abused venom too much. After being defeated by Batman, the pain and the sequelae of venom greatly damaged his brain."

He explained:

"Even though we used the water from the Lazarus Pool to heal his spine, it did not completely eliminate the withdrawal reaction caused by the venom.

This withdrawal reaction combined with the bloodthirsty side effects of the Lazarus Pool has completely destroyed Bane's brain. If we want to cure him, we have to-"

"In short, Bane is now useless." But before Jason finished speaking, he saw Ms. Shiva raised her foot without hesitation, and then kicked Bane's unconscious neck fiercely. With a crisp crack, Bane fell softly to the ground and did not move.

Jason felt a chill in his heart.

Is he dead?

He was not sure, and did not want to confirm it.

He was no longer the Robin who abided by the iron rule of not killing, but he was still not a killer like Shiva who killed people at will.

"You said Batman is in Metropolis? Jason? This is probably your last chance. Let's go to Metropolis." He heard Ms. Siwa say without question, "I've had enough of playing house for so long."
