Chapter 56: The Situation Takes a Sharp Turn

Three months passed quietly, and with the appearance of Superman II from the other camp and without saying a word from the Soviet camp, the entire international situation became clear at a glance.

Internationally, the allies led by the United States continue to expand their armaments, and local frictions continue to occur along the borders of the allies belonging to the Soviet camp, and the escalating nuclear weapons stockpiles make it impossible for the Soviet side to do much except to denounce them. Because whenever they prepare for a military operation in response, the Superman II, created by Lex Luthor, will appear in the place where the military conflict broke out.

This invulnerable steel body only needs to stand there, and the situation on the battlefield has become one-sided, and among the known individual weapons, there is no one who can hurt this monster, but there is no one on their side who can counter this monster, with the changes in the international situation, the Soviet camp has repeatedly retreated, and different voices have also sounded internationally.

Some say that the curtain of the Cold War is about to fall, and the presence of Superman has completely tilted the scales.

Some people say that a new Cold War is about to begin, and this is a new round of military competition, from weapons of mass destruction to the study of super soldiers, Russia's national strength is not inferior to the United States, and the atomic bomb can be built, and there is no reason why another Superman 3 cannot be built.

At this juncture of disagreement, there was also bad news from the Soviets, their iron warrior fell ill, and the leader who led the Soviets to victory in the war had fallen and was on the verge of leaving. As a banner, his fall has shed light on the already unpredictable international situation, and the leader is so significant to the Soviet camp that if he does die, then the other side will not have to do anything but watch the country fall apart.

In the Metropolis, after a fight with the old 52 Wally, Curvin and Wally lurked here in the Met, and there were no clues about the exploration of the mysterious third party, and the old 52 Wally was not clear. But in order to prevent the old 52 Wally from continuing to make trouble, Curvin and Wally also stayed and stared at him, so that three months passed, the old 52 Wally did not mess around, they could not act rashly, and Dick did not send any substantive information to himself, and they were also here to watch the changes.

When they saw on the news that the Iron Warrior of the Soviet camp had fallen, the two of them were also emotional.

"56 years, three years longer than the one in the history of our main universe," Wally looked at the newspaper report, and understood that if there was no accident, he would not be able to stand up if he fell this time, and the Cold War pattern gradually came to an end with the fall of this iron warrior.

"After all, it's a multiple parallel universe, and there must be differences on the timeline, but for now, the ending seems to be clear, there is no guy over there who can handle it, and we can't be their knives, unless they let the anti-superman enter the country and carry out the so-called assassination, but I think no one in that position should be stupid enough to do this. See, the turning point is here, according to the timeline we have seen before, Superman will take over as leader after the death of that Iron Warrior, and we just don't know what this mysterious third party will make Superman do. ”

"This is important?" Wally was also puzzled by Cowen's quiet observation.

"It's very important, if he lets Superman take over as leader according to the timeline we saw before, then the next timeline development will be similar to what we have seen before, except for the extra troublemakers of us, even if this timeline collapses early, it will not affect the rebirth of the next timeline. So we can't do anything about it, we can only watch the development of the situation to deal with it, wait, it's time to rest, I'll go sleep first. ”

In response to Wally's words, Kewen also directly covered his face with the newspaper and snorted and fell asleep. In the Lex Enterprise Building in the distance, the old 52 Wally also looked at the information in the newspaper, looking into the distance, he also had the same thoughts as Cowen.

"Mysterious third party, even the perception that I can block out, interesting, what are you going to do this time? You don't know how much of a change in this timeline is, Curvin. ”

The old 52 Wally, who was talking to himself, turned around and looked at the personal laboratory belonging to Lex Luthor behind him, and through the glass of the steel door, he could see the flickering light inside, and at the same time, the wild laughter of Lex Luthor came out.

"Hahahaha! Sure enough, what is enviable is my god-like wisdom! Hahahaha! ”

Lex Luthor's maniacal, self-satisfied laughter rang out in the lab from time to time, while Old 52 Wally looked at the scorpion tape in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

"Times have changed, Cowen."

With his hands behind his back, he turned into a cassette bracelet and wore it on the wrists of the old 52 Wally, which looked deep in the sunlight.

The Soviets, with the fall of the leader of the Iron Warriors, and the international situation, because of the existence of the superman, and the continuous oppression of the incidents, have cast a dark cloud over the heads of the people of this country. In their opinion, perhaps when this iron warrior leaves the world completely, it will be when their great country falls apart, and the enemy country that continues to gain an inch in the international arena.

The people's livelihood that has not been solved in the local area until now is a heavy burden on this country, and the fall of this iron warrior is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Somyshka walked through the streets of Moscow, looking at the hurried passers-by on the streets, and the long queues waiting to receive relief meals at the relief office, including old people, men, women, and children, each with a dish on their faces, looking at the relief place, and there was no hope for the future in their eyes. Somyshka looked at these people, and all the beautiful images of the capital that had been in her mind became disillusioned.

On the other side, on the other street, he could see well-dressed city dwellers in restaurants, eating delicious food, and his super eyesight and super hearing hidden in ordinary people allowed him to see all this clearly. The kind nature engraved in his DNA made him understand that all this was wrong, but he didn't know what to do, and for a while, his super-fast mind was running, and his brain ached.

"Somyshka, what's wrong with you?" Lana, a playmate who had traveled with him and had left the farm to look for opportunities in the big city, also noticed his abnormality and said with concern.

"I'm fine, Lana, I just didn't get it."

"Figured out what?"

"It's all different from what my uncle told us, and Moscow doesn't look good."

"Yes, but we have no choice, the farm is actually running out of business, but those old men naively think that growing corn will save the country, and the only thing we can do is to come to Moscow to find a way out."

"But look at the children, they're standing in the queue like animals begging for food!" Pointing to the children who were snuggling up to their parents at this time, looking around with wary eyes, Somyshka said there with a hint of self-reproach in her tone

"Yes, but it's not your fault, Somyshka, you've always been so kind since I knew you, but you don't need to blame yourself for all this. It's just the way the system works, and now the Supreme Leader is critically ill, and everything is going to get worse, but you don't need to, and you can't worry about everyone's problems, we just need to be ourselves, okay, let's go eat first. ”

Pulling the recovered Somyshka, Lana also took the preparations to a meal, which can be regarded as the beginning of a new life for them to come to a new city. Looking at the playmate with whom she had grown up, Somyshka thought back to what she had just said, turned her head to look at the refugees behind her who were receiving relief meals at the almshouse, and her mind echoed her father's teachings in this regard.

The words I wanted to say were also held in my mouth, and I didn't know where to start.

He wanted to say that he was able to change all that, that his talent, his presence, was the superman that the country had been looking for, that his intelligence, his power was able to make this country that was about to shut down work again. But the father who adopted him, his teachings also made him afraid to say this sentence, human beings themselves are a race that keeps making mistakes, keeps advancing, and then keeps making mistakes, and your power that is strong enough to shield human beings from making all mistakes is the root cause of human destruction.

When he was a child, he didn't understand why his father said this, and now he doesn't understand either, he just vaguely feels that if he really goes out of his way to help the people of these almshouses, something very bad will happen, and he must come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

On the other side, Dick and Connor, who obtained information about the Green Lantern Corps from the KGB headquarters, also followed the clues provided on the data to this mysterious Thirteen Districts, which do not exist on the map, but only exist in people's memories, and the Thirteenth Sector, where another spaceship is placed, is located in this Caucasus Mountains. Dick and Connor, on the other hand, were dumbfounded as they looked at the endless Caucasus Mountains.

"Are you sure there's nothing here?" Dick looked at the clues on the data and asked Connor again and again, who was using super vision to observe.

"There is no lead, no magic, just mountains and an obvious nuclear weapons reserve base, and I trust that my eyes will not deceive me, without any disguise."

After finishing his search, Connor also replied, and at the same time looked at the data map in Dick's hand and raised an eyebrow, needless to say, he doubted the authenticity of the information in Dick's hand.

"Hey, you can doubt me, but you can't doubt that the Batman who taught me still has the death knell, we are all taught by the same teacher, do you think I will have problems in this regard?"

Dick also felt Connor's silent questioning, and directly complained back, and Connor shut up. Super Vision began to scan the sky of the mountains, still seeing no problems.

"It's a lot more interesting if the problem isn't on your side or mine." After the mysterious thirteen districts where the Green Lantern Corps were hidden could not be discovered, Dick looked at the information in his hand, and then at this endless mountain range, and couldn't help but say.

"Interesting? Can you not play this challenge of the strongest brain at this critical juncture, it's been three months, and a Superman 2 has been built over there, and there is no progress on our side, the situation is very wrong! ”

Connor rolled his eyes at Dick's remarks, speechless.

"But the fact is that we need to wait, we were all deceived before, we always thought that there would not be any big scientific research results on the side of the Russian camp, in terms of superhuman spacecraft, now it seems that we are all wrong, the Soviets have more things than we imagined, not only superhuman spaceship technology, I think even the technology of the Green Lantern Corps is also advancing, but they are too greedy and want both, so they can't get any of them until now, this stimulation will make them choose one of the two."

"But the problem is, even if they choose one or the other, don't we know anything."

"You'll know, isn't this coming, your super hearing doesn't hear anything?"

When Dick said this, Connor couldn't help but be stunned, in his super hearing, an engine was flying from far to near this way, turned around, in Connor's super vision, a large transport plane flew like this, and the structure of this large transport plane, the flight speed exceeded the limits of this era. Looking at the scythe and axe printed on the plane, Connor turned his head to look at Dick.

"Supply transportation, no matter how mysterious the thirteenth district is, as long as there are people inside, they need to eat, drink and lazar, and need mental relaxation, you have also seen that the technology of this plane is not what this era should have, and then, it depends on your timing, only when we get on this plane, we can know where the so-called thirteenth district is."

"Just leave it to me."

Hiding in the shadows with Dick, with the help of black technology that surpasses this era, he shielded the radar search on the plane, pinpointed the moment when the plane flashed above his head, with Dick, the biological force field on his body was released, and Dick was wrapped, Connor also took Dick to rush to the bottom of the transport plane as fast as possible, and the two were close to the belly of the plane. Stealth achievement, achievement, and before Dick and Connor could high-five each other, the unthinkable happened.

The transport plane did not continue after flying over the mountain peak, but controlled the fuselage to climb towards the sky, increasing in altitude, Dick and Connor also noticed the change in the surrounding clouds, the clouds surrounded the plane, the space distorted, a burst of bright light irritated Dick and Connor's eyes, and when they got used to the bright light, they also came to a different area.

The plane returned to its original altitude and began to descend, and Dick and Connor looked down and saw the nearby peaks, but these peaks were like reflections in the water, and they were passed by the plane, and there was no such thing as a plane destroying or killing anyone. Glancing at each other, the two also broke away from the plane and fell towards the ground, and at the same time watched the plane slowly land, and then they understood why District 13 could not be found in reality, because it did not exist in reality, in another dimension.

Taking out his pocket watch from his bosom and looking at the stopped hour hand, Dick's expression became serious.

"Well, that's bad enough, it's a space with no concept of time, it's hard for them to find such a good place, look here, Connor, it's like the edge of purgatory."

"Ah, in a way, this is purgatory."

Connor also had a serious expression, looking at this mysterious space with no concept of time and space, and replied.

"You know here?"

"I don't know, but in Superman's Fortress of Solitude, he showed me the relevant records, when Krypton was not destroyed, they would carry out banishment punishment for the most heinous criminals, they would be imprisoned in the state of their bodies to retain their perceptions, and enter a dark and space-time zone, that place is called the Phantom Zone, which is where we are now."

Hearing Connor's story, Dick couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and in the distance, a green light also lit up in the sky, followed by several explosions, Dick and Connor could see the wreckage of several fighter jets falling from the sky, and the oath that came also made Dick and Connor's faces stagnant

[In the brightest day, in the darkest night, no injustice can escape my eyes, if anyone respects the oppression of power, be careful of my power! Davarich! 】

With such an oath roared, the green light in the distance shone brightly, causing both Dick and Connor's expressions to change.

"Well, it's a big deal this time,"

The two said in unison.
