Chapter 7: I'm Not a Man!

The metropolis, a neighborhood near the Lex Enterprises, was the hardest hit area after the explosion of the R&D department of the Lex Enterprises. At that time, as many people gathered at the press conference, there were as many people as there were people infected with the amozo virus in the first place. The whole neighborhood showed signs of chaos, with lost shoes, trampled clothes, and vandalized shop windows on both sides of the street all illustrating how panicked people were at the time, and in this foggy, somewhat dimly lit neighborhood, Superman and heavily armed Batman were battling three citizens infected with the Amozo virus.

As the two people who are called the best partners in the world, in the face of three severely infected people infected with the Yamozo virus, the two cooperate with each other to suppress the three people. As mentioned earlier, the Yamozo virus is a virus developed by Lex based on the advanced artificial intelligence robot Yamozhuo that the Justice League once faced, and Yamozhuo has the characteristic of learning all opponents, regardless of whether the opponent is superhuman or not, and as the Yamozo virus that was developed and researched by Lex Luthor, a smart person in the world and even more so in the DC universe, this characteristic is also carried forward.

"Damn, they're already in the third phase, aren't your suppression serum ready?" As the main output, Superman alone withstood the attack of the three citizens infected with the Yamozo virus, and as the top combat power with a body of steel, even if these three reached the third stage of infection, the Yamozo virus began to transform the body according to the characteristics of each infected person, and some inhuman characteristics appeared, and at the same time, the power of the superpower shown as a performance also rose to a new stage.

"Control them, Clark!" A low voice sounded from behind the three citizens infected with the virus, wrapping his whole body in a slim bat armor, only the face was a glass mask, but the glass mask of Batman's armor had now cracked, and Batman, who had revealed his half-covered face, also put three concocted suppression serums on his hand armor and aimed at the three people.

And Superman, who got Batman's order, also turned on the offensive at this time, holding an infected person with his left and right hands, and his thighs were also wrapped around the waist of the infected person in the middle, with his strength, it didn't reach a level, no one could break free of his restraints at all, and Batman's three inhibitory serums also aimed at the three infected people when they couldn't break free from Superman's restraints. The needles made of special alloys easily pierced their skin, and the green inhibiting serum flowed through their bodies, causing the three who were struggling to lose consciousness and no longer be able to resist.

Superman only then let go of their restraints, and Batman stepped forward to scan them with the scanner he was carrying.

"Well, is there anything we're looking for?"

"No, it's just three heavily infected people, but at least it gives us a direction, the closer we get to the center of the explosion, the stronger the infected person we come into contact with the Yamozo virus, like an evolution, then as the first infected, he may have completed the metamorphosis, of course, there is a great possibility that he will be controlled by the power ring."

"In that case, it's time for you to retreat, your mask..." Looking at the cracked glass mask on Batman's face, the worry in Superman's words was self-evident.

"It's just a crack, the seal is still intact, I'm not here, can you be sure who is the number one infected?"

"But you are human, you should know how aggressive the amozovirus is to ordinary people, I am not human, and I am not even a pure superpower, the amozo virus is harmless to me."

"Well, before this, Jon wasn't human, he was an alien like you, but now he's lying in a hospital bed waiting for us to save his life, how can you guarantee that the amozovirus of infected person number one won't work against you? Let's not forget how troublesome we had when we dealt with Amozhuo, but that Amozhuo was just a robot, and we were likely to be dealing with a new Amodra in biological form with the Ring of Power. ”

The reasoned words left Superman speechless, Batman could always find a reason that he couldn't refute, sighed, Superman no longer continued to discuss with Batman who would stay and who would go, but when exploring the remaining streets with Batman, his figure stood in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally. Since he can't talk about Batman, then use his body as his first barrier, and the closer he gets to Lex Enterprise, the more Superman understands the difficulty of those infected with the Yamozo virus.

For him, the most he felt was a little pain, but if it was put on Batman, it wouldn't be so pleasant at any time, especially if Batman's isolation mask was cracked. As the two of them went deeper, they came into contact with fewer and fewer infected people, but the danger level was relatively more difficult than before, and the viruses that were supposed to take their lives began to feed back to their hosts, allowing them to evolve into another life form.

"Anyway, it's been half a month, how are the two little guys in your house?" Superman asked as he held down an infected person as he prepared to inject him.

"Are you sure you want to ask me that question in this context?" Ignoring the screeching sound and sparks that the bone claws of the inved's hands extended from his hands cut through his armor, Batman asked as he injected the suppression serum into it.

"Don't you think what happened to the two of us is similar? You are a son, and your daughter was raised by someone else, so she came directly to you to confess her relatives when she was almost old, and I am a son who went on a trip to the multiverse and came back directly skipping the process of how I played the role of a good father. As the only two people in the alliance to become fathers, I can only ask you what this experienced person should do. ”

Superman's face revealed helplessness, in his opinion, saving the world is easier than raising children at home, especially when his son, who was only a month old before, became a ten-year-old boy in the blink of an eye, not to mention how uncomfortable the feeling of life was ups and downs. On the one hand, he is glad that his son is back, and he can be regarded as completing one of the goals given to him by his biological father, and the progress of continuing the Krypton bloodline has gone out by one percent, on the other hand, he also feels sorry for the baby products he bought for his son before, you know, he is just a reporter for the Planet Daily, and in terms of income, he can only be said to be a worker who barely reaches the middle-class level.

Coupled with his Pulitzer Prize-winning wife, the savings of the two are combined, and with a loan, they can buy a house of 150-200 square meters in the best location of the metropolis. But that's not how the account is calculated, in addition to the mortgage that he and Louise have to repay every month, he also has his own expenses, going to a restaurant opened by a Superman fan in the metropolis to spend, and shopping for his favorite things on Amazon and eBay every month, although the antique typewriter that he spent 5000 private money to buy last time was modified with a kryptonite keyboard by the guy Batman, but he can't stop his heart from buying, buying, buying, and buying, boys chop their hands, and they are no worse than girls, especially in the things they like.

Then the problem comes, with an extra son, Superman, as the breadwinner of the family, has to cut off half of his small coffers to buy an education fund for his son, and then cut out half of the remaining half to buy various baby products, he has not dared to say AA to Louise, especially now that he has not given Louise a wedding, except for the case of wearing the engagement ring. However, the most embarrassing thing happened, the things he spent so much money on were lost because of the sudden growth of little Jonathan, looking at the baby products that he spent a lot of money on, Superman didn't have the courage to say to Louise that we should have another such thing.

"So, you now feel like you're in a personal financial crisis, and you're also in a father-son crisis with little Jonathan, and want to know how I got along with Damian before?" Sampling these comatose virus infected people, Batman said without looking back.

"yes, otherwise why do you think I asked Louise to take him to my parents' place, because I found that little Jonathan didn't kiss me as much when he came back." Superman sighed, waved his hand casually, and slapped a virus infected person who was planning to sneak up on Batman from the sky, and said helplessly.

"You should know that he was only a month old before he grew up, right, how do you know if he kissed you or not?"

Batman and Superman walked the streets of the metropolis like an outing, completely ignoring the heavily infected who gathered at the sound of the two of them.

"It's a feeling of blood connection, I feel it, when I used to hold him, he would grab the little curly hair on my head, and now he sees me with a suspicious look every time, as if I am not his father, but always chanting Helena's name at home."

'Bang! As soon as Superman's voice fell, Batman, who was injecting a severely infected person with suppressive serum, overexerted too much force, and the needle made of special alloy was broken on the body surface of the infected person, and before the infected person could fight back, the expressionless Batman used his armor bonus to massage the acupuncture points on the infected person's body, and let him calm down.

"You say he's been saying Helena's name at home? Give me a detailed explanation of how he is chanting! ”

"Well, your needle is still stuck in someone's head." Looking at Batman who suddenly turned around, Superman pointed at the unlucky guy with the needle still stuck in his head, trying to change the topic.

With a beautiful roundhouse kick, Batman directly kicked the unlucky guy into the air, and the force blessed on the unlucky guy's body knocked over the remaining few virus infected people who rushed up, and then Batman directly took out a smoke bomb from his belt, threw it into the crowd, and added a high concentration of anesthetic to directly make those swarming virus infected people fall. And Batman's shadow also began to enlarge in Superman's field of vision.

"So, give me a detailed explanation of how he is chanting!" Batman's re-emphasizing tone made Superman realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, especially when Batman activated his staring eyes, Superman felt that the world was leaving him, and under such pressure, he could only take it personally.

"OK, he just told Louise every day that Helena was taking care of him when he was wandering in other universes, and that he wanted to go to Gotham to find Helena to go to school together, these are all things that Louise called me to tell me, for God's sake, can you stop staring at me!"

Reporting little Jonathan's recent situation to Batman in one breath made Batman stop staring at Superman. And Superman, who was relieved, was also a little helpless, he seemed to have sold his son for some reason, but it didn't matter, the people of the El family had to have this kind of awareness, thinking like this, Superman glanced at the virus infected people who were put down by Batman, took a mouthful of frozen breath, and directly froze them, and then asked Batman, "Tell me, after Bruce, Damian and Helena came back from other universes, did they have the same situation as little Jonathan?" ”

"No, the two of them tacitly didn't tell me what happened, or that they weren't ready, but they had some changes compared to before." Speaking of his own children, Batman did not have the oppressive momentum he had before, but talked about the changes in Damian and Helena in a tone that didn't know whether to say happy or confused.

"For example?"

"They stopped talking to me, they became obedient, and they knew to come to my room every day to say good morning, good afternoon and good night."

β€œwhat?! Are you sure that's Damian and Helena? How do I feel like I've been transferred! ”

Superman couldn't believe his ears, why did they all go to the outer universe to wander back together, Damian has become a good boy, and his son is about to disown his father, is the gap between people to be so big! Superman, who didn't understand the reason at all, fell into self-doubt about himself, and Batman wanted to laugh inexplicably when he saw Superman's appearance, and he was also curious about why Damian and Helena had such a big change, but he wouldn't ask himself, because he knew that his son and daughter would tell him.

As for whether there will be the kind of situation that Superman said, he promises that if anyone dares to do so, what awaits him will be a dark knight's revenge day and night! Just as one of them was in a state of pride and the other was in a state of loss, a figure with a flashing green light also stumbled in the air and flew towards them, attracting the attention of the two of them.

Gray, with slightly rotting skin, the tall figure fell from the sky, and Batman and Superman noticed that the Crime Syndicate's Ring was also on him, and their faces became serious.

"I guess this guy is the number one infected we're looking for." A glint flashed in Superman's eyes, and the see-through vision instantly gained insight into the gray figure's body.

"You guessed it, the amozo virus in his body has begun to combine with his genes, and even began to consciously change his body structure, which is also the host that the power ring has done so much to choose." Batman pulls out his scanner, which shows more clearly the modification of his body by the Mozo virus.

The conversation between the two made the guy they thought to be the No. 1 infected person of the Yamozhuo virus stop moving, put his struggling hands down, looked at Superman and Batman, and the modified vocal cords began to speak, "You found me?" No, I found you! With that, he put his hands together for eleven beats, and a powerful gust of air blew towards Superman and Batman.

"Stand behind me!"

Pulling Batman behind him, Superman unleashed his own hot gaze at him, the blazing light condensed in his eyes, ignoring the strong air current, and launched directly at the first infected. Because Superman understands that the infected person who has been infected by the Yamozo virus so far is most likely the first case, and his body structure is already different from that of humans.

"Superman, don't!" And Batman, who hadn't had time to tell Superman what to do, saw Superman firing a hot gaze and couldn't help but stop it loudly.

However, the heat line of sight that has been launched cannot be recovered, and Superman can only reduce the energy of the heat line of sight at the moment when Batman shouts and send it flying. And at this time, Superman will come over and look at Batman with a puzzled look on his face.

"He is infected with the Amozo virus, and you know better than me what Amozo can do!"

Before Batman could say a few more words, the figure who had been knocked away by Superman stood up again, and as Batman said, the guy they called the No. 1 Infected, the ring in his hand glowed, and his eyes also glowed red like Superman.

"Whatever I see, I use!"

With a roar, the hot sight that was more powerful than Superman just now was launched towards Superman and Batman, and the ring in his hand also sent out a shock wave together at this time, Batman and Superman also flew out under this double blow, and the powerful shockwave directly destroyed everything along the way, knocking Superman and Batman directly away, and hit several buildings before stopping.

"Batman, how are you!" The damage caused by the shockwave to Superman is nothing but a knockback effect, but Batman can't, and Superman, who has stopped in shape, also hurriedly flew to Batman's side and cared.

"Superman, I'm infected with the virus."

Before Superman helped Batman who fell to the ground up, Batman, who had regained consciousness, turned around, and on the completely shattered glass mask, the half-covered chin skin began to turn gray, and the corners of his mouth began to bleed, all indicating that Batman had been infected with the Yamozo virus, and Batman, who was infected with the virus as a direct contact with the No. 1 virus infected, also showed different symptoms at the first time.

Before Superman could prepare to transfer him out of Metropolis, Batman grabbed Superman's hand and motioned for him not to do so.

"Superman, record my words at the moment, the subamozo virus of the first infected person has been mutated, and he is able to mentally control other infected people whose evolution stage is lower than him, and the ability imitation is more like an organic evolution, he is adapting, he is evolving, and only by catching him can this crisis be solved!"

As he spoke, Batman's consciousness began to become a little unconscious, the will of the first infected person was constantly affecting him, and before he could finish his words, Batman let go of Superman's hand, stumbled towards the side of the road, approached the first infected, held a road sign, half-knelt on the ground, and a voice that did not belong to him came out of his mouth.

"Do you know, human beings have limits, in my short life, I understand that human beings have limitations, the more I transform my body, the more I understand this truth, unless I surpass human beings!" As he spoke, the road sign he was holding made a sore sound in Batman's hand, and the cloak behind Batman began to flutter, and a pair of protrusions began to burst out from Batman's back.

"What the hell are you talking about! Batman! Superman looked at Batman as he was in a dream, and shouted anxiously.

And the first infected person who released the shockwave also walked towards Superman at this time, the skin on his body began to metamorphose, and his mouth was speaking the same words as Batman.

"At this moment, I have been reborn, that is, beyond the human being, and beyond the machine, I am not a human being!"

The words came out of the mouths of Batman and the No. 1 infected, and the controlled Batman also stood up at this moment, and the pair of protrusions behind him also broke through the limitations of Batman's armor, revealing its true face, a pair of black bat wings. At the same time, those infected with the virus who were defeated by Superman and Batman before also stood up again with the words of Batman and the first infected, showing a blank look, and surrounded Superman from all sides.
