Chapter seven hundred and fortieth I came first
Air force base!
Clark was fixed and suspended above the entrance to the base. He wore a blue tights, a red cloak, and the 's' on the chest of the Al family emblem. He was dressed as an independent man, making the base stand ready. The commander also came to the scene to talk with him.
Of course, without the red sheets, even a normal person floating in the air would attract strong onlookers.
The purpose of Clark's coming here is for reporter Lois Lane, who was arrested by the FBI because she knew the true identity of the "Kryptonians hiding on Earth" and related to global security, and was detained at the Air Force base for interrogation.
As for how this matter was leaked, the main reason lies with Reporter herself. She met Clark by chance and discovered that he had extraordinary abilities. In line with the occupational disease of unremitting pursuit of the truth, through her own investigation, she confirmed
Clark is from another planet.
At that time, Clark was still in a period of confusion and was very repelled by his own identity. He was wandering while helping others, and his whereabouts were erratic.
In order to find him out, Louise published her report on the Internet, hoping that after Clark saw him, he could conduct a formal interview face to face in order to understand why aliens came to earth.
That is, Superman, a sinister alien whose hidden whereabouts were discovered and posted on the Internet with great fanfare, would have slapped Lois to death.
As Lois continued to search for clues, she discovered that Clark had helped many people, tirelessly, and never asked for anything in return.
Finally, Louise found Clark on the farm. At this time, Clark had just returned from Beach City. He was no longer confused in life and decided to become a superhero and use his power to help more people.
Lois had a happy conversation with him, gave up the tracking report, and was willing to help Clark conceal his true identity.
The reason is simple. She thinks Clark is a good person and does not want him to be suspected and slandered by the outside world because of his alien identity.
This is the official explanation. To put it bluntly, it’s just something between a man and a woman. Clark felt that Louise was elegant in conversation and generous in manners. Louise felt that Clark had a pure nature and a strong body. The two had a mutual affection for each other and became good friends.
Now, Lois was arrested for her involvement in the Kryptonian incident. Clark would not let it go regardless of emotion or reason. He came to the air force base alone and stated that he would voluntarily surrender to Zod and hoped that Lois would be acquitted by the authorities.
In the distance, a group of Justice League members were sitting by the lake fishing. According to Russell's wishes, everyone followed Clark into the air force base and maybe had pork chop rice, but Bruce rejected it on the spot.
Superheroes are vigilantes and are not recognized by the law. Because they cover their heads and faces and do not engage in personality worship, and they all contribute to stabilizing social order, they are turned a blind eye by the authorities and acquiesce in fighting crime.
action.
If, like Russell, you rely on your strength and don't give any face to the government and take off this fig leaf, it will be of no benefit to anyone.
So we arranged for everyone to go fishing by the lake and wait for the situation to develop. The most reasonable time for them to appear is when General Zod breaks the contract and stretches out his claws on the earth.
If General Zod hadn't broken the contract, he would have left directly after getting Clark...
This is the result that Bruce most hopes to see. Clark and his tribe will be reunited, and the earth will be peaceful again. It's the best of both worlds.
In less than half a day of getting along, Bruce relied on his calm mind and Batman's growing reputation to successfully gain the trust of the rest of the Justice League.
Then, Russell, who was not very reliable in his work, was kicked away, and Bruce took over the follow-up actions.
Russell said it didn't matter. As the founder of the Justice League, his status was as stable as Mount Tai. He couldn't be the brains of the Justice League, but he could still be the wings of the Justice League.
Justice League looks good too!
…
Inside the base, Clark locked his hands in handcuffs and saw Louise, who looked slightly haggard.
Learning that Clark was arrested because of her own will, Louise was moved beyond measure, which meant that the occasion did not permit it, otherwise the boiling estrogen would have been squandered on the spot.
But besides being moved, Louise was also a little angry and felt unworthy of Clark.
"You shouldn't come here. Your behavior is tantamount to surrendering to Zod, but his style does not seem like someone who keeps his promises." Louise's implication was that Clark was too naive, even if he
Even if he is willing to sacrifice himself, Zod cannot be trusted.
"I know General Zod is not worthy of trust, but I have to come here, not only because of you, but also for myself and this planet."
"Because of this, you decided to sacrifice yourself and let them handcuff you?"
"Handcuffs are great and make everyone feel safe."
"No, I mean, don't you think about yourself?"
Clark smiled faintly when he heard this: "No, someone will help me think about it. I just need to keep my head down and move forward."
"who?"
"Some friends, trustworthy friends!"
…
The air force base contacted the Kryptonian spacecraft in outer space. General Zod sent his adjutant Fiora to take Clark away and met him on the spacecraft.
Drew Zod!
The commander of the Kryptonian military, like Clark, is one of the few survivors of Krypton.
The social form of Kryptonians is high-end but deformed. From the day they are born, each child is predetermined for a future social status, such as worker, warrior, leader, etc. This system allows Krypton to develop and grow efficiently, but it also loses
the possibility of evolution and transcendence.
Because everything is set, Kryptonians do not have the opportunity to choose independently. The tool people produced on the assembly line may be very capable, but they cannot create miracles. The glory of Krypton can only be destined to be temporary.
General Zod realized that the social structure of Krypton was full of shortcomings, so he used his best military methods to forcefully change it. However, he was only a soldier, and his betrayal was suppressed by politicians.
Zod was exiled to the Ghost Zone with full of resentment. He watched the destruction of Krypton and was helpless. He vowed to rebuild Krypton and restore it to its original glory.
Jor-El and his wife, Clark's parents, who also discovered the shortcomings of Krypton's social structure, believed that the failed civilization would eventually collapse, and that sick products like theirs should disappear with it.
However, the couple left a glimmer of hope for Krypton. Clark, who was born naturally, has all possibilities. He can decide his own future and fight and work hard for it.
The couple sent Clark to Earth and deposited the Central Codex, which records the genes of billions of people on Krypton, into Clark's body. At this point, the future of Krypton was left to Clark to decide.
No matter what choice he makes, it is the choice of Kryptonians in a state of nature, not the continuation of a failed civilization.
Zod received this information and traveled thousands of miles to Earth. When he saw Clark, no, he saw the hope of revitalizing the race, he was extremely excited.
Zod hopes Clark will help him resurrect the Kryptonian family. Everyone is Kryptonian, and he believes Clark will not refuse.
Clark will indeed not refuse. He has always been soft-spoken. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Zod is fighting for the rise of the race and does not seem to be a bad person.
Half a minute later, the two broke up!
Zod told Clark that Krypton will be reborn based on the Earth. As a result, the landscape and atmosphere will change, and mankind will perish.
Clark couldn't accept it and angrily told Zod that this was an invasion. Kryptonian civilization could be rebuilt, but war and massacre should not be used to ignite the fire of civilization.
Zod dismissed it and said that the Kryptonian reconnaissance ship came to the earth a hundred thousand years ago and had already booked this planet, and humans were the latecomers.
Clark: The earth belongs to humans!
Zedd: I came first!
The two sides have conflicting ideas. Clark is unwilling to sacrifice the earth, but Zod insists on doing so. As the military commander of Krypton, he has repeatedly ordered the end of a civilization. He insists that Krypton is above all else, and humans will die if they die.
The two had a disagreement and got into a fight. After a scuffle, Clark was unable to fight with his four fists and escaped from the spaceship and returned to Earth.
Zod was afraid of damaging the spacecraft in the battle, so he watched him disappear into the atmosphere, and the battle came to an end for the time being.
Looking at the blue planet below, Zod looked expressionless and said coldly: "Does it take a living body to take the code from Kal-El's body?"
"No, just bring him back."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zod ordered the spacecraft to simulate the earth's ecosystem and allow everyone to adapt to the earth's atmosphere. Half an hour later, the "World Engine" was launched to transform the earth, and at the same time all personnel were dispatched to capture Clark.
No matter life or death!
Decades of dreams are about to come true. Zod can't wait to take action, but seeing his 10 subordinates who are still adapting to the earth's environment, he can only endure it for now.
…
On the other side, Clark returned to Earth, used super hearing, and found a group of people fishing by the lake.
Russell swung the fishing rod: "How's it going? Is the deal over?"
"Uh, it collapsed..."
Clark briefly described what happened on the spacecraft, especially Zod's plan to turn the earth into the second Krypton. He also explained the principle of the "World Engine" and told everyone that once the target is discovered, it must be destroyed immediately.
Bruce nodded secretly, packed the information on the 'World Engine', and successfully sent it to the air force base with the help of Butler Man's informant.
"Everyone, the first plan of 'sending Clark away in exchange for peace on earth' failed. It's time to implement the second plan."
Russell clapped his hands: "Be prepared, we will have a decisive battle with the Kryptonians next. I have a hunch that the battle will take place in Metropolis."
Bruce nodded secretly. Based on his many years of experience in walking at night, most likely the battle location would be a metropolis, so he silently sent the information to Butler Man.
"Great, we don't have to fish anymore!" Barry threw the damn fishing rod on the ground and let the Flash fish. It was killing him and he was about to die.
"Wait a minute, what does the first plan of 'send Clark away in exchange for peace on earth' mean?" Clark was dumbfounded. No one had told him before!
Chapter completed!
