Chapter Forty-Eight: The Post-War City
Walking on the streets that have not changed much, Clark lamented that after the chaos of the metropolis, the number of casualties reached 10,000, which is almost ruin for a city, but fortunately there are heroes from other cities who have come to minimize the damage, but unfortunately there are still many people who lost their lives in the first place of the outbreak.
The loss of the metropolis cannot be said in one sentence, it needs to be slowly recuperated, and there is no year that cannot be recovered. Thinking of Lex, Clark wanted to extract the brain from his head to see what he was hiding, the invasion of privacy was the first time he had done it, and it was still light compared to Bruce, a person who was addicted to early drying.
Lex seems to have a heart-to-heart with Clark, and as soon as Clark thinks of extracting brains from his head to look at his memories, Lex disappears like evaporating from the world, and he can't find it.
Searching around the Metropolis, focusing on lead products, Clark did not find Lex once, it seems that Lex did leave the Metropolis and took refuge in other places, secretly operating the company's operations. But Clark knows that the next time Lex comes back will be a comeback, and his methods will definitely be even more ruthless than this time, sacrificing millions of people this time, and I don't know if he will sacrifice tens of millions of people next time.
"Yesterday morning, a coalition of world heroes was formed, and they called the Justice League. As the book says, God descended from the sky, and the current members of the Justice League are Superman, Wonder Woman, Diver, Flash, Green Lantern, and Cyborg. Jon. Jones, the six super friends who helped us during the alien invasion, except for the last Jon, must be known to everyone. Although we don't understand why the Justice League would have a Martian they never knew joining, there must be their intentions. โ
Walk to a familiar crossroads. The TV panel was not destroyed in the chaos. It bears witness to the beginning and end of the ruined miรจ. At the moment, it's playing the Justice League that was established yesterday.
The Justice League was established. The difference is that Bruce is hidden behind the scenes in this world and has not released his list. Although the Justice League was established, Clark was not very involved, and Bruce did not have that time, although he knew that the Justice League was a double-edged sword, and the matter of Gotham City gave him a headache and did not have time to pay attention to it. The only remaining leader is Arthur, who unfortunately returns to Atlantis to take care of his own affairs. The position of leader was vacant, and the other four knew that they were not the kind of people who could lead others, so they did not speak.
The establishment of the Justice League has also allowed some people to see the momentum, such as the United States. The U.S. government mentions that the Sky Eye will supervise the Justice League and prevent them from doing bad things, in fact, everyone knows that the U.S. government wants to infiltrate the Justice League, but politicians don't want to think about which of the seven members can be used by them except for the secret member Bruce, unless the brain is in water.
Clark can meet the near future. The U.S. government will strike first, and they will build a League of Legends that they can manipulate. And not an alliance like the Justice League, which won't be used by them.
Jon. Jones's joining, Clark was also unexpected, counting the last time, yesterday was just the second time they met, I didn't think that he was going to join the alliance that was about to be formed, and I could feel that this last Martian Manhunter had some kind of purpose, but his purpose was good, although I still don't know what the purpose is.
Unconsciously in front of the Luther Mansion, Clark remembered how many people he had witnessed destroyed that night, the bodies were torn apart and littered, and a little girl died standing at his feet, and he couldn't stop it in time, a sense of guilt invaded Clark's heart, but there was only a trace of guilt, Clark avoided noticing, it was like a seed buried in the ground, waiting for the day it sprouted.
To ask the Met where the most severely destroyed zhรฒng, the Luther Mansion. The Luther Building is made up of three tall buildings that form a triangle, known as the Triangle Tower. Clark and Destruction began in the Triangle Tower, which did not hit the beams supporting the tall buildings, but after the end, it was not much better, crumbling, and could collapse at any time.
"Mr. Kent?"
Someone named Clark. Clark turned his head to see that it was Louise. Ryan. Louise was an employee of the daily Planet, she had already won awards at a young age, and Clark was still in college at such a young age.
Louise was flanked by a small attendant, a young man a few years younger than Clark, who looked more like someone who had just come out of college.
"Miss Lane, it's really a blessing that you're okay in this disaster."
"Superman was in time, so I was saved."
Louise would not have thought that the person who saved her would be Clark standing in front of her, Clark was wearing a blue coat and glasses, and he looked like an ordinary person, and no one would associate him with Superman at all, only that he might be another person without a job.
Louise thought about thanking Superman the next time she saw him, and didn't forget to introduce: "This is Jimmy, he's new here, and I'll take him with me during this time." โ
It turned out to be Jimmy, the original Superman's Clark garrison and friend. Clark nodded, "Nice to meet you, Jimmy." โ
Jimmy smiled kindly and reached out to shake Clark's hand, "I'm glad to meet you, too, Mr. Kent." โ
Louise and Jimmy still have a lot of people to interview, they're journalists, studio interviews and then writing stories. Clark looked at the triangular building for a while, and wanted to leave, but suddenly landed alone, and when he looked closely, it was Diana.
Clark frowned slightly, why is Diana here?
"Good morning, Wonder Woman, what are you doing here?"
Diana frowned at the sight of Clark, she knew she didn't know the person who suddenly called her name, but this person was a little familiar, and she couldn't remember where she had seen it. Clarke suddenly came over and took off her glasses to give her a better understanding of her human identity.
"Superman? Do you have another identity? โ
Diana obviously didn't have another identity, otherwise she wouldn't have been so surprised. Clark shrugged, "I need to hide in it, at least it's much better than being alone in the castle." โ
"It's much more convenient to just change your hairstyle and coat to make you a completely different person than a disguised magic potion."
Clark didn't forget what Diana came here for, and asked, "What about you, you didn't stay in Washington, why did you come to the Met, I don't remember that the Met experienced a major trauma that deserved you to be here?" โ
"I have a question that I haven't asked you all this time."
"What's the problem?"
Diana Yan looked at Clark: "Are you really not a god?" โ
Clark understood why Diana said this, her power is the strongest on earth, although Diana has been in human society for a short time, some of her thinking still thinks that powerful people may have the blood of God.
Clark smiled, "I can't be a god, how can I say it, to be precise, my strength is so powerful, it comes from the genetic sequence of my ancestors." โ
Diana wondered, "Gene sequence? โ
"You can understand it as a precious legacy left to you by your ancestors. How to put it, you can think of human beings as us who have no power, and sometimes I wonder if human beings are the beginning of life, they represent the most primitive state. โ
Diana didn't fully understand, some did, and Clark was able to have such great power, all thanks to the genetic sequence in his body. For the first time, Diana realized that this world, and indeed the universe, is not all magic, evolution and technology have their own strengths, and they reach the same height as magic, and there is no difference between the three and the three.
"By the way, Wonder Woman, you can't wear this dress all the time and never try to walk the street in private clothes, right?"
Clark remembered that every time Diana appeared, she was dressed in battle clothes. Sure enough, Diana nodded, acknowledging Clark's words, she said disapprerovingly: "What's so strange about this, and I think that going out in armor, once there is a fight, you can react immediately, and you don't need to change any clothes." โ
"When you go out in armor, you will only see people's awe and fear, far from becoming a human and walking among humans to see a more real side, of course, there will be an essential side."
Clark just reminded him that it was unknown whether Diana would want to disguise herself as a human to get her enjoyment.
At this time, the communication machines of the two were connected at the same time, and it was Bruce.
"Superman, Wonder Woman, immediately go to the nearby waters to see if the water level is rising dramatically."
Bruce's voice was steady, with a hint of urgency, something big was about to happen. Clark and Diana looked at each other and headed for the nearest port. (To be continued......)
