Just when Luke and the female Kryptonian commander Flora were having a secret room conversation.

Clark, the little cousin who returns to the Met, gets into an argument with his agent, Lex.

"The godfather said that Zod couldn't hurt your parents, he was just a verbal threat."

Lex rubbed his temples and persuaded.

"Who can guarantee that he won't?"

Clark paced back and forth.

Acting anxious.

He hasn't talked about a girlfriend yet.

So for Superman.

The most important thing on earth is the adoptive parents.

The thought of them falling into the hands of General Zod is likely to be mistreated, or beaten.

Clark felt restless and uncalm.

"You should trust the judgment of the godfathers."

Lex pouted, he had a lot of things on his hands as well.

About a few hours ago, that amazing battle.

The White House has called several times, and the Pentagon has sent troops to surround the Vought building.

The top brass of the federal government, they can't wait to meet Superman and get a definite answer.

A giant spaceship suspended in near-moon orbit, a Kryptonian who fights a plane with his bare hands......

These are like time bombs that can be detonated at any time.

No one likes that their room is full of minefields.

"Of course I believe in the big cousin! But...... I'm more afraid of the unexpected. ”

Clark scratched his head vigorously, like a severe insomniac.

Obviously sleepy, but because the work was not completed, he couldn't lie down.

He had been waiting for Luke's action, but two hours had passed, and there was still no news from his eldest cousin.

"And what are you going to do?"

Lex's eyes flashed, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed back.

"Take the initiative to contact Zod to confirm my family's safety!"

Clark seemed to have made up his mind, he looked at Lex and pleaded, "I need your help, Lex!" ”

"Okay, so what should I do, or rather, what do you want me to do?"

Lex thought for a moment and asked helplessly.

"Send a message to Zod's ship."

Clark stared at the shadows reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows and said in a deep voice.

……

……

Twenty minutes later, on the empty and desolate yellow sand Gobi, Clark stood quietly,

Lex's message was quickly echoed by General Zod.

The latter demanded that Clark must board the ship for a face-to-face conversation.

It sounds very dangerous, and it is not a wise decision to go alone and go into the tiger's den in Longtan alone.

But Superman, who defeated the Kryptonian warriors, didn't think about it and agreed directly.

He was still a seventeen-year-old boy, far from mature and calm.

In the distance, a flying machine swept low into the sky at breakneck speed, kicking up a raging cloud of sand and dust.

Clarke's eyes narrowed, and the UFO that landed looked like a beetle.

All-over black, bio-like structure.

The elegance reveals a wild atmosphere, and it has a completely different design style from the earth civilization.

The hatch opened, the levitating staircase was lowered, and two Kryptonian warriors in black armor stepped out of it.

One of them, revealing his face, spoke, "Carl-El, I'm Ilton the Explorer, and I greet you on behalf of General Zod. ”

"Are you the only one?"

Clark nodded, the eldest cousin was interrogating the two Kryptonian captives, and Lex was useless.

He felt that he could solve the problem alone.

Ilton the Explorer didn't say anything more.

He glanced deeply at Clarke, then led the other into the aircraft.

He didn't ask about the fate of Commander Flora, who had been captured alive, and about the other Kryptonian warrior.

The Fertility Code is the top priority, and other things can be put on the back burner.

The Kryptonians who are effectively loyal to General Zod are all henchmen who once followed the other side in an iron-blooded coup d'état and led the resistance army to try to overthrow Krypton's corrupt rule.

After their defeat, they were exiled to the Phantom Dimension together to live through endless darkness.

It was not until the destruction of Krypton that it was liberated.

When they woke up from the hibernation pod, all they saw was the wreckage of Krypton's destruction.

Icy meteorite belts float in the void, and the home they once relied on is gone.

The blow was a blow that left everyone in discouragement, and it was General Zod who lifted everyone's morale and led them to transform the light-speed propulsion engine out of the dead silence.

"General Zod is looking forward to this meeting."

Ilton looked at young Clark and whispered.

The former homeland has been reduced to death, and the glorious civilization has become dust.

In the vast and endless dark universe, there are very few people of the same race with Kryptonian blood.

Rumble!

The beetle flew into the air, pulling into a blurry afterimage.

Quickly break through the atmosphere and rush out of the blue planet.

"Here we are."

Ilton unbuckled his seatbelts, slowed the craft down, and docked with the giant ship.

Along the lower floor, enter the spacious cabin.

Clark follows in the footsteps of Ilton the Explorer and leads the empty bridge.

A strong back in black armor stands alone on a semicircular overlook.

Beneath his feet are huge celestial bodies that radiate beautiful life.

"This is General Zod, our leader."

Ilton the Explorer said in a respectful tone.

"It's a strong ......"

Clark looked at the other man, in his perception.

General Zode exuded a terrifying aura all over his body, like a silent active volcano, which made people's hearts palpitate.

"What are you going to talk about? Threaten my family, or besiege me? Kidnapping can be used to do such a trick, and the means are really despicable! ”

Restraining his thoughts, Clark asked in a cold voice.

"Presumptuous! How dare you be disrespectful to the general! ”

The Kryptonian warriors surrounding the perimeter were furious and shouted in unison.

In their hearts, General Zod is a great leader who leads him to rebuild his homeland, and no one can afford to take it lightly.

"Ilton, let's forgive Carl for his rudeness, he is not yet familiar with the etiquette of Krypton."

General Zod stopped everyone's angry rebuke and said in a deep and powerful voice: "We have welcomed a new compatriot, and this is worth celebrating, and there should be no useless quarrels." ”

Clarke's face is expressionless, his super sight is in the ship.

It seems to be severely limited and simply unable to penetrate the walls of the cabin.

"I ......"

Clark was about to say something, but suddenly his body felt extremely uncomfortable.

The sound became noisy, like a high-pitched noise, irritating the eardrums.

The vision of the eyes gradually blurred, and the light blurred into a hazy scene.

A feeling of weakness arose over his strong body.

"I ...... A little uncomfortable. ”

Clark said with difficulty, as if he had been drained of his strength.

As if facing Kryptonite radiation, his body staggered, he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the ground violently.

Seeing the son of the old man kneeling in front of him, with a trace of blood dripping from his lips, the corners of Zod's mouth couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile: "It took you a long time to adapt to the environment of the earth, but now you can't accept your home planet." ”

"Carl, if you want to get rid of this pain, you can only rely on your own will and strength, and no one can help you."

Clark couldn't hear Zod's voice at all, and the unfamiliar atmosphere almost suffocated him.

A sense of weakness came in waves like a tidal wave, and Superman collapsed on the cold metal floor, his drowsy consciousness slowly sinking into the darkness.

…………

When Clark opens his eyes again, he finds himself on a farm in Kansas.

This is where he grew up, and everything is so familiar.

"Hello, Carl, maybe you'd prefer me to call you Clark."

Zod's voice startled a dazed Clark.

He slowly stood up and looked around at the scene.

Confirm that this is a Kansas farm, a warm family in your own memory.

"I was the military leader of Krypton, and your father is the chief scientist of our planet, and he is very good and has an extraordinary vision."

"The only thing we agree on is the imminent destruction of Krypton."

"At that time, I tried to stop this from happening and keep the fire of Kryptonite civilization, but the reward was that I and my subordinates were banished to the Phantom Zone, a dead place in the universe!"

Zod faced the son of the old man, as if he saw Joe El again.

The man who, like him, tried to defend Krypton.

Only in the end, they each chose a different path.

"The destruction of Krypton has set me free, we should have drifted in the wreckage of the planet until we died, but we were not reconciled!"

Zod sighed.

He and his men had fallen into despair.

But Rao was above, and the gods favored Krypton after all, allowing them to survive.

"How did you find Earth?"

Clark asked, frowning.

He didn't understand how Zod's group had come to Earth.

Between the vastness of the universe, there is no clear coordinate location.

Finding this blue planet is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"We modified the vehicle thrusters to cause the speed of light, and your father made similar modifications to send you to Earth."

"The tool that once imprisoned us, but in the end saved us, I have to say, it is really a creation and a man."

A complicated look crossed Zod's eyes as he continued.

"We searched through the old colonial outposts, looking for signs of life, but found nothing."

"They've been abandoned since they lost contact with Krypton, and we've taken all the resources we can use, armor, weapons, and world engines...... Thirty-three years of hard work were passed until a distress signal was detected not long ago. ”

"You brought us here, Carl."

General Zod watched Clark with eager gaze, like a traveler in the dark seeing the light of a lamp.

"Now you have the power to save our race, all the unborn children on Krypton, their genetics are written in the citizens' files, which is the 'Fertility Code'."

"Your father stole it and hid it on you."

Clark listened a little confused, he didn't know his true identity at all.

So, I subconsciously asked: "Why did my father steal the birth code?" ”

"Because in this way, Krypton can be reborn on Earth!"

A frenzy rose in Zod's eyes, and he waved his hand, and a behemoth fell from the sky.

Three huge metal stands on the ground, and a dazzling pillar of energy gushes from the center.

The surface shook violently and kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, destroying Clark's familiar farm hut!

Superman, who witnessed this scene, seemed to understand something.

"Tell me Carl, where is the Fertility Code?"

In what seemed like an apocalyptic scenario, Zod asked sharply.

"If Krypton is reborn, what will happen to Earth?"

Clark asked rhetorically.

"The rebirth of civilization always needs to be built on destruction, and even your father understands that."

Zod's voice was cold.

He's a Kryptonian.

Of course, I don't care if the earth lives or dies.

For General Zod, rebuilding his home is the only hope in his life, and no one can stop him.

"No, Zod, I won't help you."

Clark shook his head in refusal.

He saw the devastation around him.

If Krypton is truly reborn, the price to be paid must be all life on Earth.

"And who are you going to help?"

The scene changed again, and endless skeletons covered the ground, gradually tearing Clark off.

Zod condescended, looking down at the son of the deceased.

This was the end of this dream, and he had already received the answer from the other person's mouth.

"Your father is willing to give his life for honor, Carl."

When Clark opened his eyes again, he found himself chained to a metal table.

Zod looked at him faintly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"I said, my name is Kakarot, and I don't know you at all."

Clark corrected.

He's not a Kryptonian.

"Whoever you are, hand over the Fertility Code! Or you'll pay the price! ”

Zod said indifferently.

From the moment he was born, he was set up to defend Krypton.

Everything else can be sacrificed for the sake of this great goal.

Giving Clark a deep look, Zod turned and left.

He knew very well what an emotionally troubled character like Carl cared about most.

Therefore, I am not worried, the other party will not give in.

When you get the Code of Life, you can take the first step to rebuild your home.

Krypton will be reborn on this blue planet, and Zod slowly walks to the empty lookout, full of hope for the future.

"Did he agree to cooperate?"

Ilton the Explorer walked behind General Zod.

In the eyes of the Kryptonians, the Earth civilization is backward and weak, and it is not difficult to conquer it.

But the key lies in how to reborn the shattered and dying Kryptonian civilization again!

Originally, Zod and his party thought that they were the only remaining Kryptonian bloodline in the universe.

But fate gave them a huge surprise.

Jo-El's son summoned the vast galaxy and brought them to the azure planet.

The most fortunate thing is that the fertility code that is in charge of Krypton's genetic coding is also in the hands of the other party.

All this seems to be doomed in the dark, which makes Zod see hope again.

Rebuild Krypton!

"Carl, like his father, always couldn't see the truth of the matter."

"That kid rejected me, he had too many feelings for earthlings and couldn't recognize which side he should be on."

Zod said with his hands behind his back and a frown.

Clark's non-cooperation, as he expected.

For the immature and young son of the deceased, he is very tolerant and chooses to give the other party a little more time and consider it seriously.

"So what do we do?"

Ilton the Explorer asked.

"Carl needs to realize that we are his compatriots, and those earthlings will only see him as an outlier!"

Zod sneered, he had a general understanding of Superman's situation through the information on the Internet.

"As for the Fertility Code, he will obediently hand it over to me, he cares too much about the lives of those earthlings, which is a fatal weakness."

Ilton the Explorer understood what he meant, and that the human couple could be used as a threat if necessary.

General Zod didn't get it through because he had disdained such a despicable measure.

But Clark is too stubborn, and would rather turn his back on his people than protect the planet.

This is simply a foolish act in the eyes of Zod, who values Krypton and honor as extremely important!

"I see."

Ilton the Explorer nodded, then asked, "What about the Ferola ......?"

"Rebuilding Krypton is the number one priority, and even if they die, they will die as they deserve!"

Zod waved his hand and said coldly.

Ilton the Explorer sighed to himself and left the overlook.

Zod stood alone on the bridge, staring at the Earth.

His desperate heart was finally calmed.

The home planet that I swore to protect was shattered and crumbled before my eyes.

This almost made Zod lose hope of living.

The only mission and responsibility in life was erased in this way, and the Kryptonian general who escaped from the phantom zone wandered like a ghost in the dark universe.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a bright light suddenly broke into Zod's line of sight.

The aura of energy, which resembles an astronomical wave, appeared in his perception.

It's like a deep-sea beast that has suddenly been invaded into its territory.

Zod instantly became vigilant, his muscles tensed all over his body, and he entered a fighting state.

Did the earthlings launch nuclear weapons?

Zod thought.

It was the most powerful military weapon known to Earth's civilization, and the only thing that could inflict damage on Kryptonians.

Boom Boom –

The dazzling light quickly broke through the atmosphere, like a fleeting golden lightning.

In an instant, it descended in front of the Kryptonian spaceship.

This time, Zod finally saw the true face of the dazzling light -

The dark red cloak fluttered in front of his eyes.
