Chapter 396: Red Sun, Inside the Fortress
"Dr. Wayne, you don't have to...... This rescue operation. ”
Barry lowered his voice, bent over, and stepped into a pitch-black sewer.
He had planned to join Luke in infiltrating the military's secret base tonight to rescue Superman.
But Batman was not surprised to find out about their actions.
According to the other party, it was when the Flash said "Oops, I worked so hard today, I'm going back to sleep".
Batman easily judged that this was a lie through his contrived tone, his weak expression, and his flashing eyes.
Then, he sat silently in the hall, waiting for Barry to change into his suit, and Luke to come out and finish the wave.
The scene at that time was quite embarrassing.
Luke was calm, he hadn't thought of fooling Batman and avoiding the other party's gaze.
As long as you can reverse the world of Flashpoint, you can successfully rewrite the present.
Thomas Wayne doesn't have much to say about anything else.
But Barry is still too young and thin-skinned.
After he was caught, he was eager to find a crack in the ground and get in.
Its mental activity is probably like a high school student who is about to sneak out of the house to a party late at night, but is caught by his parents.
The main highlight is an embarrassment!
"Do you think I'm going to be a drag on you, or will it get in your way?"
Thomas Wayne snorted coldly and asked a proposition.
"Neither. Well, I mean, if cyborg finds out about all this, it might affect your ...... Camaraderie. ”
Barry stammered as he explained.
No matter which Batman you face, he's always on the back foot.
In fact, except for Superman, no one in the Justice League likes to face the Dark Knight of Gotham alone.
Because of the other party's hoarse voice and serious tone, it is difficult not to think of interrogating prisoners.
"You're thinking too much, my friendship with cyborg is probably similar to that of Penguin Man."
Thomas Wayne said:
The corners of Barry's mouth twitched, if this was heard by the cyborg, I was afraid that he would be angry and swearing.
Sure enough, no matter what time and space it is, the steel bones are tool people.
"Turn around here and go to the second fork in the road, where there's a secret entrance."
Thomas Wayne has a blank face, and he has that attitude towards most people.
After all, you can't expect a middle-aged man who has lost his son and his wife has become crazy to be so warm and sunny to people and things.
"How do you know?"
Barry, as usual, acts as a passerby who appears shocked.
"In the name of searching for the Metropolitan Super Criminal, I asked the cyborg to retrieve the structural diagram of the sewers, and then downloaded the base drawings of the 'Superman Project' while he was not paying attention."
Thomas Wayne spoke in a flat tone about the amazing operation that was jaw-dropping.
In fact, it is not easy to bypass the computer brain of cyborgs and complete the above behaviors.
"By the way, the cyborgs have been separated by me and headed to Australia to participate in the diplomatic peace talks between Paradise Island and Atlantis."
He went on to add.
Barry's expression was even more shocked.
Wouldn't it mean that Batman had already anticipated their rescue plan?
"It's so dark."
The Flash thought silently.
But because of this, the Justice League also trusts Batman, and he can always give people a sense of security that "it's all in my plan".
"It's a multi-story facility underground, with traces of remodeling."
Luke walked behind, his super eyesight able to see what was going on at the secret base.
When I just swept through some important places, I was blocked by the lead wall.
A group of three walked along the secret entrance to a sturdy, thick alloy door.
"I think Dr. Wayne, you should have gotten the password, right?"
Luke looked at Batman, the alloy door with complex iris recognition and encrypted numbers.
If he was alone, his sight would melt directly as soon as he was hot.
Then just break into the secret base and push all the way through.
But now with Flash and Batman by his side, he is too lazy to do it himself.
"That's true, not only did I get the password through the cyborg, but I also 'borrowed' the props for the iris disguise."
I saw Thomas Wayne drip himself with something similar to a contact lens potion, and then enter the password for iris recognition.
Click!
Pneumatic valve opens.
The secret base beneath the metropolis appeared in front of them.
"At this late hour, only the minimum quota should still be working, and if Barry can remove those security cameras in the hallway and put the guards to sleep by the way, we will be able to get out of the way."
Luke had done his homework ahead of time, and it was half past three in the evening.
In addition to the squeezed social animals in this base, they continue to work overtime, and those high-level people have long since gone.
"No problem, wrap it up on me."
Barry patted his chest, then vanished into a red afterimage.
By the time he returned, all the cameras in the hallway outside had been dismantled into parts, and the guards had been tied up and thrown into the corner.
"That's it."
In Batman's consciousness, only a moment passed.
The Flash smiled at him as if he had never moved.
"If you guys were on that plane, superheroes were like that...... Strange and powerful abilities, so how did Bruce get involved? ”
Thomas Wayne expressed confusion.
Could it be that his son is not actually an extraordinary man?
"Well, that's complicated to say."
Barry didn't know what to answer for a moment.
Because Batman is indeed the only normal human in the Justice League.
Superman is the son of Krypton, Wonder Woman is a demigod, The Flash has speed, Green Lantern has an emotional spectrum, and Aquaman is an Atlantean hybrid......
Batman alone, he relies on his mind and ...... Technology?
"Your son has the power of money, Dr. Wayne, thanks to the family business you left behind."
Luke replied with a smile.
Batman uses his actions to tell everyone that there is no enemy that krypton can't solve, and if there is, it must be that there is not enough krypton.
Compared to Iron Man's useless targeting plan, Bruce Wayne is much more capable of execution.
With kryptonite and Hellbat armor, he can take on formidable enemies like Superman and Darkseid.
"That's really...... Make people happy. ”
Thinking of Bruce throwing the Wayne family's money and being a superhero fighting criminals, Thomas Wayne has a relieved smile on his face.
This is the real people's rich!
A group of three made their way through the hallway and into the interior of the secret base.
Any guards he encounters along the way, and the Flash can quickly solve them.
While Barry can't kill or fight, his art of bondage isn't bad.
"This is Subject Two."
Batman walks into a huge room with the contents of the Kryptonian spaceship on display.
Among them is a skeleton that looks like a canine creature with the words "Subject 2" labeled.
In addition, there are some strange-shaped biological skeletons soaked in formalin, which are presumably defective products made from superhuman blood.
"Probably Superman's pet dog."
Luke's eyes flickered, Superman had a dog named "Little Krypton" - although it is unknown why Krypton also has such a creature as a dog, it fell to Earth with Clark Kent.
The most outrageous thing is that because of the radiant rays of the yellow sun, this Kryptonian dog has acquired similar abilities to Superman.
Flight, power, speed and thermal sight, all there.
If it is used as a standard of combat effectiveness, then without any equipment, Batman probably can't even beat a dog.
Further on, Luke saw the Kryptonian spaceship that had come to Earth with Superman on board.
The metal casings were all dismantled, and various huge parts were hung from the steel frames.
Most of the cutting-edge technology that appears in this secret base must have come from the military's decipherment of Kryptonian technology.
"This is the 'meteorite'?"
Thomas Wayne glanced faintly, and he was impressed with the ship.
It landed in the Met, killing more than 30,000 people and making headlines in an instant.
The official explanation given was that it was first a meteorite fall, and later it was a bombing attack by a terrorist organization.
"That's right, it should have fallen on a farm in Kansas, or a collective farm in the USSR."
Luke played a red Superman meme, but the others didn't understand, and their attention was all on the Kryptonian ship.
After looking at it for a while, they continued on their way, and finally came to the gate of the huge fortress.
According to rough estimates, the gate alone was hundreds of centimeters thick, and it would be difficult to break through even with artillery bombardment.
Batman re-entered the code and opened the heavy metal door.
"That's what you're talking about, the most powerful creature on the planet?"
The interior of the fortress was empty, and red radiant light spread to every corner, as if simulating some kind of ecological environment.
And in the innermost corner, there was a figure as thin as dry wood huddled.
"How so?"
Witnessing this scene, Barry's voice trembled a little.
He didn't expect Clark's situation to be so miserable.
"Look at his skin so pale, he has probably never seen the sun."
Luke walked over and held out his hand, "Don't be nervous, everything is fine, Carl El." ”
The other person's eyes were full of fear, like a young beast in a cage.
He has no name, only Subject One, which is a pronoun.
"We are your rescuers, your friends."
Luke pulls Superman up from the corner, and the guy struggles to even get up.
Looking at the dense pinholes on his arm, it is estimated that he is used by the military as a guinea pig every day to draw blood.
Living in a simulated red solar radiation environment, the other party is no different from ordinary people.
"Friends?"
Ribs Superman hesitated to say the word.
Growing up, he faced only doctors, scientists, and generals.
Friend is a very unfamiliar word.
"That's right, he's your friend, he's your friend's dad, and I-"
Luke smiled, an honest smile.
"It's your long-lost cousin."
