Ian and Clark walked side by side on a high ridge.

After Zod's toss, it was already afternoon, and although the sun was still hot, it was nothing to Ian and Clark.

In particular, the talent of the Kryptonian made Clark feel like he was taking a warm bath, which was very comfortable.

If it weren't for the ship hovering overhead, it would have been a great afternoon.

The two of them just walked along the ridges, neither of them looking at the spaceship in the sky, and they had no intention of speaking.

Seeing the cornfields all over the ground completely swallow up the two, Clark asked:

"Ian, just say whatever you want to say to me."

"Isn't that what you're going to say to me?" Ian put his hands in his jacket pockets, and the breeze in the field thoughtfully pushed away the leaves of the corn prickly for him: "Your expression has changed since I declared war on Zod.

Clark, if you have any ideas, say them now, and we can discuss. But once the operation begins, I will not take your opinion into account unless there is a major misstep in the operation. ”

The mixture of trust and majesty that Clark felt from Ian was enough to give him absolute trust, regardless of his appearance and age.

"Is there only one option, war?"

Ian had already understood what he meant, and said in a low brow: "You grew up in human society and were raised by human parents, then you belong to human society. No matter how many fools will talk about bloodlines and races that should have been thrown into the dustbin of history in the future, they will not change this fact. ”

"So I want you to understand that this battle is not between races and races, but between the aggressor and the invaded."

"But the aggressors did not belong to the aggressors in the first place, and if I can persuade them to get out of here, I am willing to pay any price."

Clarke's face was holy with the sacrificial sainthood of sainthood, without the slightest selfishness.

"Jonathan, however, has given you the light side of the human race."

Clark's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and when a person suddenly put aside the topic and said something nice but useless, it proved that he had nothing to say.

"Are you so unconfident about that?"

"If it's another naturally grown race, I'm not against you trying. But as the last shadow of Krypton, Zod and his warriors are deeply influenced by genetically modulated shadows. ”

Ian stresses to him: "They, like the colonizers of the 16th century, do not see humans as equal objects to talk to, but as bugs that are not worth mentioning." For the sake of his Kryptonian resurrection, he can be erased from the earth at any time. ”

"Clark, there are no two words of reflection in Zod's world, he will only copy everything that Kryptonite is frozen in vain until death."

"It's a disease." Clarke's tone was bitter.

Although Clark has been obedient to Ian these days, he is by no means anyone's echo worm.

Although he doesn't use his brain often, who wants to use his brain when one can solve ninety-nine percent of the enemy with his fists?

But this does not mean that Clark is a brainless reckless man, and he also has his own thoughts about the world.

The two men were still walking forward, the sun shining on them, draping them in a light golden veil.

The two men stopped talking, and they soon walked through the vast fields to the outside of the town, and saw a small church built on a dirt slope outside the city.

"Ian, do you believe in God?"

Ian had a smile on his face, and it was a fallacy that Orientals like to understand "god" as a god.

Clark's question should actually be understood as "Do you believe in God?" Or, "Do you believe in fate?" ”

And Ian's answer was very simple: "I don't believe it!" Even if God really exists, He doesn't bother to care about us. ”

He put his hand on Clark's shoulder and said sincerely, "No matter what choice you make when you come out of this church, I will support you." ”

"Thank you!"

Trust moistened Clark's new atrium like a spring stream, and he nodded to Ian and walked into the church.

Ian stood in the doorway, looking up at the Kryptonian spaceship suspended in the atmosphere, and Batman's deep voice came from the communicator:

"The military took Louise Lane. I could have stopped it, but General Lane himself arrived at Wayne Manor, and Louise volunteered to leave with him. ”

"There's no way around it. People are not pets, and they can't stop what they want to do. ”

Ian could imagine Louise saying something to General Ryan, but it didn't make sense.

"What a pity!"

He spoke to Batman as if he were right in front of him: "I have spent so much effort to put this crisis in front of all mankind, and as a result, politicians still make unrealistic fantasies."

Bruce, this battle is up to us. ”

"Our Superman, how's he preparing?"

"He prayed for peace."

"Only after victory can we negotiate peace with the aggressor. What are you going to do? ”

"I'm not going to share this glory with anyone else, I'm going to push the battlefield off the planet. Big Big Wolf will tell you the full plan. ”

"Be careful, Bruce, the war has come upon us."

The sun slowly set in the west, and shadows gradually covered the earth, but the last rays of afterglow lingered on Ian's face like a statue made of steel.

Superman walked out of the church, and he said to Ian:

"I still want to confront General Zod and let him know that the time of Krypton is over. They are my last compatriots.

I want them to know that only peace and tolerance can create a brand new Krypton. ”

Ian was not surprised by Clark's choice, saying, "I respect your choice. But we must plan this meeting ceremony well, and we must not pin our hopes on the discovery of Zod's conscience. ”

"I doubt he has such a thing."

"I'm not stupid enough to fall into the net." Clark said, "My father, as Krypton's chief science officer, oversaw the construction of all Krypton's ships. With the master control key, I can take some of the ship's rights. ”

"It's not enough, it's not enough."

Ian shook his head and leaned off the ground, "Come with me, we're going to discuss a complete plan with Batman." ”

"Clark, Zod is right about what he said. You are no longer alone, and we will always support you as a friend. ”

With some wetness in the corners of his eyes, Clark followed Ian to Gotham.

……

Louise had already regretted it, and she thought she could rely on her family affection to convince her father to support Clark.

But as soon as he left Wayne Manor, General Lane couldn't wait to ask his daughter about Superman's true identity.

Louise's heart fell into the abyss, and no matter how much her father pressed her, she didn't say a word.

"Louise, this is not a joke, Superman is involved in the safety of Earth. If you continue to act like a scoundrel, I'll have to resort to some other means. ”

General Lane is also anxious, he feels sorry for his daughter, so he wants Louise to reveal her secret.

If Superman refuses to come forward, Louise will be handed over as a replacement.

The bastards in the White House absolutely did it.

Bang!

All of a sudden, the lights on the Gotham Bridge stopped.

A ghostly shadow weaved through the convoy, tugging at the string called "fear" in everyone's hearts.

"It's damn Batman, pick up the speed and let's get out."

Bang, bang, bang!

A blinding light lit up on every car, and all the transient became blind.

Louise couldn't see anything, she couldn't hear clearly, she could only look at everyone around her, screaming and being dragged out, making a sound of fear.

"Follow me, Louise!"

In a trance, Louise seemed to see the man who saved her life in the North Pole, took the other person's hand, and entered his arms.

"No, Louise!"

General Ryan's eyes were on fire as he watched his precious daughter throw herself into another man's arms.

But under the joint efforts of Batman and Superman, he can only let out an unwilling wail in the cold wind of Gotham.
