Chapter 1698 Bruce Wayne and the Prisoners of the Batcave (7)
Washington, 6:30am, temporary meeting place of superheroes.
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 operating here for some time, and so has Batman.
No Bat-safe house is a dark, cramped, dilapidated cellar. Batman has plenty of ways to get reasonable approvals and build a base blatantly.
Of course, vacation companies that arrange routes and provide services to the rich will build their headquarters to be 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 event building and a conference building. On the surface, it is
Privacy protection is provided for wealthy people 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 wasn't even wearing a uniform. His hair, which was always neatly combed back, had several strands hanging on his forehead and several strands hanging up the back of his head. Superman didn't even think about it.
Smooth them out with your own superpowers.
He instinctively reached into the kangaroo-like pocket on the front of his sweatshirt, took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses and tried to put them on his face. Then he remembered that he was in a superhero base, not a reporter's apartment in Metropolis.
He sighed softly, brushed his hair casually, put his glasses back in his pocket, walked towards the bathroom, and then met face to face with Wonder Woman, who also had disheveled black hair.
"God, this is the millionth time this year I swear, we shouldn't have drank so much last night." Wonder Woman took a deep breath, tapped her temple with the heel of her hand and said, "Let yourself get drunk.
It’s a really bad habit, really, really..."
"Good morning, Diana." Superman greeted him very politely. He opened his eyes hard and said, "It's not that alcohol does any harm to us, but are you sure that it wasn't Batman who drugged the wine when we were so drunk?
Yet?"
Wonder Woman waved her hand vigorously and said, "Don't tell ghost stories so early in the morning. Isn't he weird enough lately?"
"It couldn't be weirder than the two of you blocking the bathroom door."
A black shadow appeared quietly. Of course, this is how Batman should appear. Superman looked back at him in confusion. Of course, Batman should have put on a bat suit and cape at 5:30 in the morning without any wrinkles.
Every batarang was polished until it shined.
"Seriously, Batman, why do you think that inviting us to drink won't be understood by us as your having some other agenda? Do you think we only have seven seconds of memory?" Superman narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction.
explain.
"I just hope you will stop making those ridiculous speculations and get drunk."
Wonder Woman raised her hand in a state of collapse, then slid it down hard and said: "Why don't you ask us to guess? Your hometown, your little baby, usually when people come close to you, they will yell at their brother like a rock star.
Tan, is almost in ruins now, and you, you just spent a week in our base like this!"
"I've said it many times, Batman, if there are any problems that can't be solved, I can..."
"There is no difficulty that cannot be solved."
"Oh, of course you do." Superman shook his head and didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. He walked into the bathroom and said, "I think getting Batman to leave Gotham is more important than investigating Darkseid.
too much."
"You should drink more."
Wonder Woman smoothed her hair, turned around and walked a few steps away from the bathroom door to show her gentlemanly spirit. Then she leaned against the wall with her arms folded and said, "You didn't replace the whiskey with ginger juice yesterday.
What’s going on? Batman?”
Batman lowered the corners of his mouth, showing a very classic "Although it seems like I don't want to explain it on the surface, it's actually hard for me to explain it" expression.
Obviously, no one in this world except Batman can read such a complicated expression on another person's face, so Wonder Woman shook her head, turned and walked towards the stairs, and said: "Okay, just
In this case, forget it if you don’t want to say it.”
She had no hope that Batman would explain, and she had never considered that there was one thing in the world that was difficult for Batman to explain - his biological parents were currently busy in his Gotham.
Throw missiles at each other's heads. His children are now busy throwing missiles at everyone else's heads in his Gotham, and the main reason why he can't throw missiles at their heads is that his nemesis is in his
The family is waiting to see his jokes.
Batman cares about Gotham, but he cares more about the Joker.
After some thinking, Batman decided to leave his city temporarily, but this was not entirely because there were so many clues that he couldn't sort out, and he himself needed some time to accept that his future life might be a bit too fulfilling.
This fact is partly due to Darkseid, who has always 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 has frequently provided him with information, saying that the Green Lantern Corps has noticed changes in the universe, and it is most likely that someone
An evil being has set its sights on the earth again, and Batman knows it is 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 it allowed Batman to understand that his next opponent is most likely to be a foreigner.
The Star King, like all tyrants, will not give up until he achieves his goal.
Therefore, Batman has been staying at the base this past week, trying to parse some mysterious cosmic signals provided by the Green Lantern Corps, which are considered to be a precursor to Darkseid mobilizing his army to besiege the earth.
But of course, Wonder Woman and Superman will be confused about this, because they have also seen the current situation of Gotham from the news. The FBI spokesperson said that they will no longer ignore the city. Both of them understand that,
This kind of statement can be called a provocation to Batman, and Batman will not tolerate this.
But Batman tolerated it.
This made the two of them really unable to suppress their curiosity. Even though they knew that Batman could not provide any more explanations, they still couldn't help but make insinuations from time to time, wondering what made Batman change his gender.
Of course, this kind of frequent probing and questioning failed to get real answers, but it did get Batman a generous drink - boxes of high-quality Scotch malt whiskey, and they got drunk last night.
Superman came out of the bathroom and finally sorted out his confused thoughts. He came to the activity room and threw himself into the sofa. He looked at Batman standing in the corner and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry, but thank you anyway."
Wine, no matter what you put in it."
"I didn't add anything to it."
"Then our recent stress must have made us drunk." Wonder Woman reached out and pushed her long hair back, half-leaning and half-sitting on the window sill and said, "Since you found us, we have to be on guard against some crazy foreigner.
When the work of Star King began, I felt extremely tired."
"Because we used to take the initiative to fight crime in our respective territories, but now we have to stay together and passively guard against alien invasion of the earth." Superman rubbed his forehead and continued: "We don't know when the disaster will come.
You can only interpret the signals over and over again, and this kind of nervous waiting is much more tiring than shaking your fists."
Superman recalled the scene when Batman came to find him. Of course, they had known each other before, but when Batman suggested that they should find more helpers, Superman realized that the problem was not simple.
The intuition from his super brain told him that the so-called Darkseid invasion of the earth should have a purpose other than simply destroying mankind, but he did not think about it carefully. No matter what the purpose was, he must stop it.
The second person to join the gang was not Wonder Woman, but Green Lantern, but Superman guessed that this should be a targeted move by Batman. After all, the Green Lantern Corps is very active in the universe. If he wants to keep an eye on an alien king, Hal
is the best choice.
Then of course there's the Flash, who is also an old friend with Batman, followed by Wonder Woman, and finally Aquaman, but Aquaman doesn't live here now, and no matter how luxurious a 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 yet. Darkseid is mobilizing his troops, but before he actually attacks someone, even the Green Lantern Corps can't do anything to him.
But this puts a lot of pressure on these superheroes.
Hal continues to receive signals from the Green Lantern Corps. It seems that Darkseid is gathering troops, and some dangerous moves have also entered the Green Lantern Corps' evaluation process, but it is impossible for Batman to deal with these dangerous elements shining with green light.
What hope do you have?
"Let's talk about your work." At this time, Wonder Woman decisively changed the subject, no longer entangled in the reason why Batman stayed here, she said: "You said you tried to hack into the signal terminal of Apokolips before.
Is there any progress?"
"I intercepted part of the call channel, but I didn't hear Darkseid's voice. What I can confirm is that his generals are mobilizing troops from the edge star area. If they really come, it will be a war.
tough battle."
"Don't tell me you really plan to just stand here without making some preparations in advance."
"I'm just standing here preparing for it."
Superman frowned, and Wonder Woman stared at Batman and said, "Don't be too pretentious. You don't have to tell us all your plans 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 actually come to Earth will we be the legitimate victims."
"But we cannot sacrifice the earth..."
"We cannot sacrifice the planet."
Batman nodded calmly, Wonder Woman and Superman both stared at him, not knowing what his contradictory statement meant, but Batman just sighed inwardly and said.
"But we can sacrifice Gotham."
Then he added something in his mind.
"...If there's anything left in Gotham to be sacrificed right now."
