72. Don't panic when you encounter trouble, restart first! If you can't figure it out, change the machine--【19/25】
(Monthly pass plus update, Happy Lantern Festival~)
The feeling of being taken away by The Flash is naturally very refreshing.
Especially after crossing nearly 1,000 kilometers of roads in twenty seconds at an immeasurable speed, even the well-informed Mason couldn't help but praise this speed force is convenient.
If the Flash can put down his body and join the delivery and food delivery industry, it will be a matter of minutes to build a business empire. If he tries a little more to monopolize the global commercial transportation business, it shouldn't be a big problem for his assets to surpass the Wayne Group within a year.
But it's fast, but it's not as comfortable.
Damian is okay to say.
After all, this little madman has been trained as an assassin since he was a child, and his cerebellum has been trained to be extremely strong, and he can barely withstand the vertigo caused by overspeeding.
But Mason suffered.
He has no training in this area, and the Isu's super senses seem to be a negative buff, and the perception that is several times sharper than ordinary people brings more vertigo experience.
The moment the Flash let go of his hand, Mason covered his mouth and rushed to the shore in the dawn sun, lying there and spitting out a rainbow.
He felt as if the world had turned upside down before his eyes, and the Sorting Hat on top of his head had cast a restorative spell on him that had eased his tumultuous stomach slightly.
And the Isu ghost Consus also appeared next to Mason at this moment.
He held a virtual clipboard in his hand as if he were a scholar, looked at Mason's bad situation, and recorded:
"My brother, it seems that the changes brought about by the Isu genes in your body have not yet completely covered some of your fragile physiology as humans, and our super senses can be temporarily shut down under similar circumstances.
You should train in this area and sharpen your nerves so that you can withstand this level of trouble, otherwise, it may become a weakness for you. ”
"I guess now Barry Allen is already documenting my situation and giving Batman a little report when I get back, and then this will be part of the master's 'anti-Mason tactics'."
The young man took a moment to sober himself up, his face pale, he took out a pile of materials and put them in his hand, his hands were closed, the red light on his gloves flashed, and a bottle of silver-gray potion appeared in his hand.
He twisted the lid open and drank it down.
Just like when a magical magic effect is applied, the [Unbalanced] and [Stun] effects in the status bar of Mason's character card are immediately removed.
"Horn decoction! The most common potion used by witchers who specialize in swordsmanship, I thought I wouldn't need it, but I didn't expect it to work wonders in this situation. ”
Mason stood up with the bottle in his hand, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said:
"It seems necessary for me to keep this thing on hand lest any bad people use it against me."
"You can't do it, Mason!"
Damian rarely saw Mason so embarrassed, so he seized the opportunity to mock madly:
"As the captain of Team K, why are you still 'motion sickness'? Isn't that a bit embarrassing? ”
"You try to open your senses and get Barry to run around!"
Mason said angrily:
"You stomp you're numb."
"Don't waste time, come here!"
The old lady had already found a closed entrance to the underground military base on the camouflaged stone wall, and he planted explosives to prepare for a forced breakthrough while looking out at a seaport in the distance.
From the position of the crowd, you can see that a ship is preparing to leave the port, and many people in military uniforms are busy on board.
"Barry, go over and have a look."
Mason commanded, and the Flash disappeared with a whoosh, returning a few minutes later, his injuries clearly improving rapidly and no longer affecting his speed.
"That's the research ship of Lex Luthor, the chief scientific officer of the Eye Society, and they're heading to the deep sea to find the Atlanteans' legendary 'Doomsday Weapon'."
The best Scout Flash reports:
"I went into the cabin and checked the logbook, and their mission was to lock onto the Ark of Doom for the rest of the military operations.
The base was created specifically to deal with this threat.
There are no further details on the ship, but I suspect that some kind of 'superweapon' made by human civilization against the Atlanteans can still be found here.
The person in charge here is General Lynn."
Barry Allen hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Mason and Damian:
"This is the father of Louise Lane of this world, who is also a journalist in this world, and it is said that she was attacked by underwater people while reporting in Europe, and disappeared in the disaster of being submerged in Europe."
"Is she a very important person?"
The old lady didn't quite understand why The Flash wanted to focus on this female reporter, but Mason and Damian understood what Barry meant.
Mason nodded, and instead of responding to the old lady's inquiry, he took out a special chip from his bag and inserted it into the PDA in his hand, and gave the Flash another look.
As Thomas Wayne blasts the stone wall that obscures the entrance with a precise directional blast, Barry spists into action.
He "infiltrated" the heavy military-grade closed door in front of him in a very unscientific way, and then in less than two minutes of patient waiting for the three members of the "Bat Family", the door in front of him slowly opened.
It seems that Barry has already secured the monitoring facilities of the underground base.
"The alien lifeform codenamed 'Guest' is underground! In the lowest laboratory, records indicate that he has been locked down here for more than thirty years. ”
Little Flash reappeared beside Mason with a whoosh, holding a thick test notebook in his hand, said with an ugly face:
"In the past 30 years, the authorities have been conducting various experiments on him, and there are more than 50 secret experimental projects extended by him alone, most of which are related to human body modification.
They treated him like a 'guinea pig'.
Hell, Mason, even if we get him out, he won't trust any humans over the years. He might even think of us as enemies. ”
"I wanted to ask before."
The old lady, who was pinching the batrang and moving forward vigilantly, finally couldn't help but say in a dumb voice:
"You all seem familiar with the alien being held here? Who the hell is he who can make you so obsessed? You all seem to think he's the answer to all the questions in front of you? ”
"It's Superman, Thomas."
Damian glanced at Mason's expression and whispered to his grandfather from another world about Superman, and the old lady was stunned for a moment.
This old man, full of anger and revenge, obviously did not believe that an alien could do so much to protect humanity.
This is exactly the same as the thinking of his son from another world.
"Mason! See! ”
As the four of them enter the next level of the underground base, Barry suddenly bumps into Mason's arm, pointing forward.
Mason, who was adjusting that particular program on the PDA, looked up and followed the Flash's finger to see a blonde young man in a pilot's uniform standing in a room that looked like a collection cabinet not far away.
He turned his back to the crowd, staring at something in the glass case as if he had lost his mind, still muttering to himself.
"That's Hal!"
Flashing whispered:
"You can't be wrong, I'll be sure just by looking at the back. But he doesn't seem to be a lampman in this world?
I think we might be able to talk to Hal, and if he in this world is even a tenth of the same as the Hal I know, we can convince him to help us. ”
"Just go and see."
Mason blinked and made a split gesture to the old lady and Damian, allowing the grandfather and grandson to continue their exploration downward, while he and Barry quietly walked in the direction of Hal Jordan in this world.
As a top pilot, Hal Jordan's vigilance shouldn't be so low.
But he did seem to be caught in the sight of what was in front of him, so much so that both Mason and Barry touched behind him, and he didn't even notice it.
It wasn't until the reflection of the two of them was reflected on the glass case in front of him that Hal was startled and immediately tried to pull out the pistol from his waist, but Mason reached out and held it down.
Flash, on the other hand, covers Hal's mouth and convinces him not to get excited.
In the next moment, both Mason and Flashing saw what was in front of them, and they instantly understood why Hal Jordan had fallen into a trance.
In front of the trio of them, in the glass display case there is a complete alien. To be precise, the remains, whose skin is shriveled and apparently "air-dried".
But it still wears the green lantern uniform that the Flash is very familiar with.
It's a Green Lantern!
Xiao Shan, who is very familiar with the story of Hal becoming Green Lantern, seems to understand this moment.
He looked at Hal Jordan beside him in surprise and said:
"Is this Abin Sue? He is still dead on Earth in this world, but why hasn't his Green Lantern Ring found you? You'll be attracted to him and prove that you still have what it takes to be a lantern man. ”
"I refuse to answer all your questions! Intruders. ”
Hal, whose hands are tied by Mason, is tough.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"You're entering a military base with the highest level of official secrecy, and you're breaking the law."
"Barry, it looks like your friend is tough."
Mason glanced around the display case and lost interest in it when he didn't find the Green Lantern Ring here, and he said to The Flash:
"Tell him what he's going to do in the other world, try to awaken the hero complex that might exist in his heart, convince him to help, and stay here by the way.
I've got to go down. ”
"Leave it to me."
Barry accepted the restraint on Hal Jordan, and Mason got up and strode to the next floor.
Probably because the research ship was about to set sail, there were not many people in this base, and Xiao Flash's black surveillance here made the old lady and Rice's actions go very smoothly, and there were researchers who were knocked out by them along the way.
However, as Mason approached the lowest level of the lab, he heard a fierce firefight.
He immediately moved forward to find a bunker, and saw that the grandfather and grandson in front of him were engaged with a silver-gray cyborg.
That's Cyborg, the presidential adviser of this world.
However, Mason immediately realized that the steel skeleton in front of him was much worse than his own.
He did achieve a semi-mechanized transformation of his whole body, but there was no trace of the Apocalypse Mother Box in his body, and the lack of the core that brought the essential improvement to the steel bones made the cyborg threat much weaker in all aspects.
For example, now, in the face of Thomas and Damian's joint suppression, the beaten steel bones can only stick to the entrance to the lowest laboratory.
The best thing is that the steel bones of this world seem to have some friendship with the old lady
"Thomas! Are you crazy? Why attack this base! It's not Gotham again. ”
As Cyborg switched the weapon on his arm, he shouted in his trademark mechanical voice:
"Ceasefire! We might be able to talk about that. ”
"There's nothing to talk about."
The old lady was holding two kinetic pistols that Mason had given him so kindly, and he used his claws to cross the firefight, and landed on the other side of the steel skeleton under the cover of Damian, and said as he fired fiercely:
"We're going to take that alien from the underground! I was told he could save the world from precariousness. ”
"No, he can't."
Steelband retorted:
"He's weak, except for being alien and having a body of steel, he's not as strong as you think, and he even has to rely on help to eat.
You're in the wrong place!
If that's what you really want to see, Thomas, join us.
The President has authorized me to form a new Super Team, and I desperately need a good hand like you to lead those young warriors. ”
"I'll say it again, not interested!"
The old lady rushed in front of the cyborg with the agility of a middle-aged man, raised his hand and shot him through his outer armor twice, and then suppressed his "old friend" in place in the gunfire.
"You're just a researcher, Victor, it's not your war, so stand aside!"
The old lady's strong persuasion did not convince the loyal cyborg, and seeing that he could not solve the intruders by force, he prepared to use his data awareness to take over the defense of the entire base and trap them here.
However, Mason finally made a move at this critical moment.
He activated the special program that he had been debugging until before on the PDA attached to his arm.
In the warning of the beating red light, the steel skeleton who was uploading consciousness immediately sensed that an unknown program had invaded his cyborg body, and he tried to resist but to no avail, the special program flashed through his mind like a sharp data steel knife.
In the next moment, the steel skeleton's body stopped, and the metal brain exploded with a thud as its eyes dimmed, and the headless corpse slammed to the ground, a scene that froze the old lady whose hands were stained with engine oil and strange blood.
He crouched down to check on Victor Stone, and after a few seconds, he looked back at Mason who had come out of cover, and said in a cold voice:
"You killed him?"
"In a conventional sense, it did, I stripped him of his life and soul."
Mason waved the abnormally heated PDA on his arm and explained:
"But believe it or not, old lady, your old friend will be hiding in my personal computer like a data elf. This was my first attempt at the 'Soul Slayer' program, but it was so good for these mechanical beings. ”
As he spoke, Mason took the special separation chip out of the PDA, threw it to the old lady, and said:
"As a souvenir for you, from today onwards, you have your own 'mechanical companion', old lady, but don't just plug it into the accessor you can find.
It's not a good thing to create a disembodied animatronic ghost in this post-apocalyptic world. ”
Mason borrowed a high-privilege ID card from Damian and swiped it on the elevator leading to the lowest lab, the doors opened, and everyone walked inside.
After a few seconds, they entered the deepest part of the base.
What catches your eye is a full-coverage biological experiment chamber made of transparent material made of a special material, and in it lies a scrawny man.
He was dressed in a white test suit, so thin and weak that he could only crawl on the ground like a monkey, and when he saw the crowd walk in, his eyes were filled with unconcealed fear and resistance.
He curled up with all his might, burying his head under his arms, carefully hiding his disgust and hatred in the depths of his eyes.
"This is the superman of this world?"
Seeing this scene, Damian couldn't help but complain to Mason beside him:
"Do they never give him food? How did this slim like this! The enviable good body and big man are gone. Hey, Clark Kent! ”
Rice walked to the front of the experimental cabin, banged on the glass and shouted:
"We're here to save you, don't be afraid, we're not bad people."
"Don't call him that, that's not his name."
Mason stepped forward to correct Damian's erroneous call, and he looked at the poor man in front of him with a trembling body and pushed the frame without lenses on the bridge of his nose.
After a few moments, he finally said the true name of the Kryptonian refugee in front of him.
"Hello, Farr Zod."
