Chapter 369 45. Long time no see

Injustice Universe·North Pole

A land forever covered in ice and snow

The average temperature in the Arctic is only minus 20 degrees Celsius. If you live at a higher altitude, this number will be even lower.

The biting cold wind can quickly take away a person's body temperature, and looking directly at the snow without eye protection can cause snow blindness.

Only a few powerful creatures can survive and reproduce here, and even humans can only establish a scientific research station to stay here for a while.

It is in this place that can be called the forbidden area of ​​​​life, but there is a towering fortress - the Fortress of Solitude.

Gerald stood outside the door of the Fortress of Solitude with the unjust Batman dressed in snow. He looked at the door, which was completely different from the main universe's Fortress of Solitude, and waited for the people inside to open the door.

The key placed at the door was made from white dwarf fragments and weighed hundreds of thousands of tons. It was not something that Jero could lift with the strength of his human body.

About half an hour later, the door opened with a "rumbling" sound, and two gray-haired old men walked out under the protection of a group of Annihilator robots.

Annihilator - an intelligent defense system designed and manufactured by Kryptonian scientists during the period of great expansion. Although it is a defense, if its bottom line is touched, Annihilator will spare no effort to destroy all enemies.

Standing behind Injustice Batman, Jero glanced at these Annihilators from the corner of his eye.

These Annihilators were not much different from the Annihilators he had seen in the main universe, and their construction foundations should all have Kryptonian genetic factors.

Old Jonathan, who has been in the Fortress of Solitude for several years but has not lost his focus on the outside world, looked at the unjust Batman and asked:

"Bruce, did you come back to deal with that robot?"

The interior of the Fortress of Solitude is definitely not information closed, and Kryptonian technology is far superior to Earth's technology. Reading external information is only the simplest thing.

During the time when Superman was imprisoned, the Kents had the highest authority - they could even command the Annihilators.

"No, he came to see you if he had something to do."

As he spoke, the unjust Batman gave up his position, allowing Kent's parents to see Jero's face clearly.

"Hello, Mr. Kent, Mrs. Kent." Jero waved hello politely.

Although the Kent couple in front of him looked exactly like the couple who adopted him, Jero knew very well that the two people in front of him were not his adoptive parents.

After seeing Jero's face, Martha, who was standing next to old Jonathan, was obviously stunned. After hesitation, she covered her mouth with her hands and said in surprise:

"Oh God, could it be..."

"No, I am not the child you think, I come from a parallel universe." Seeing that Martha seemed to have mistakenly recognized herself, Jero immediately explained, indicating that he was not Jie Ai from the unjust universe.

On the way here, Jero had already heard about Jie Ai from the unjust Batman.

Unlike Jero, who was adopted, Jie is a child born to the Kents themselves. He is a pure human from Earth. He also gained a superpower when he grew up, and began to follow in his brother's footsteps to become a superhero.

In other words, the Kent couple in the Injustice Universe will have deeper feelings for Jay Ai.

Similarly, Jay's death that year almost broke the hearts of the Kents.

"Is this... like this?" After hearing Jello's explanation, Martha's eyes showed a hint of loneliness. She quickly put away the emotion and turned to Jello:

"But knowing that other Jay Ai can live so well makes us very satisfied."

"No, madam, you are wrong." Jero shook his head and denied, "Your child may not be dead."

"What?" Martha was surprised.

"..." After a moment of silence, Old Jonathan waved to Jero and Injustice Batman and said:

"Come in, it's cold outside, let's talk to us two old guys."

Later, Jero and the Injustice Batman walked into the Fortress of Solitude under the leadership of the Kents.

The interior of the Fortress of Solitude is the same as the main universe, with many high-tech facilities. There is also the same statue of Mr. and Mrs. Al at the entrance. Along the way, there are many endangered animals and plants collected by Superman during his adventures in the universe and some souvenirs.

The Kents, who have been farming for most of their lives, do not understand these alien high technologies. After all these years, their living area is still very limited.

Most of the time, the Kents lived in the same area.

The interior space of the Fortress of Solitude is very large. Even if there is only one area, it is enough for the Kents to live.

Perhaps in order to miss their old life, the Kents arranged this area to look a bit like the small farmhouse in Smallville - they even provided a few fields for farming.

Although they just need to shout and the Fortress of Solitude's AI can help them get everything they need, the Kents, who have worked for most of their lives, still like this method.

Sitting on the wooden chair handmade by old Jonathan, listening to the creaking sound coming from underneath him, Jero began to tell old Jonathan everything he knew.

After listening to Jero's story, some tears appeared in Martha's eyes. She rubbed her red eyes and couldn't help but said to herself:

"That's great, that's great. It's great that Jie Ai is fine."

As parents, we always hope that our children will live a more comfortable life. After so many years, even if they just know that their children are in a state of 'not dead', the Kents are very happy.

But after a while, a question hit old Jonathan's mind.

"But if Jie Ai is still alive, why doesn't he come to see us?"

"Perhaps he is worried that you will feel heartache after seeing his appearance." Jero guessed.

Jie Ai's 'data ghost' posture was neither alive nor dead, so Jie Luo guessed that Jie Ai didn't dare to let his parents see him like that.

Martha wiped away her tears and shook her head, "What a silly child."

"..."

At this time, there was a sudden wave of fluctuation in the air. As ordinary humans, the unjust Batman and the Kent couple did not notice it, but for Jero, this familiar wave was simply too 'arrogant'.

"We're all back, let's meet each other, and by the way, bring out my little nephew." Jero said with a slight smile.

As Jero finished speaking, the Kents and the Injustice Batman all looked at each other in surprise.

Within a moment, bursts of blue light appeared in the space. In the light, a figure slowly took shape and appeared in the eyes of the four people.

He looked at his parents and elders whom he had not seen for a long time, and waved his hands, "Sorry for worrying you all these years, dad, mom, and long time no see, Mr. Batman."
