Chapter 229: Martians
Area C-703 is surrounded by all sorts of security devices that engineers might think of as a prison with iron buckets, reinforced with three layers inside and three layers on the outside, making it almost unbreakable, with a red "X" prominently emblazoned on the door.
However, Shen You tore open every layer of obstacles with his bare hands.
Swaggering in, he quickly saw the goal of his trip and was convinced that he had found the right place.
Eerie and dark room, open but with little to no light source. In the middle of the room is a circular platform on which a green figure towers. Countless cables were attached to him, and the device above his head was releasing some kind of transparent fluctuation downward, forming a force field invisible to the naked eye that bound him in it.
It was a skinny body that was almost like dry bones by human standards. It has a humanoid torso and limbs, but the structure is very different. The slender and strange posture, the overall flat face, and the absence of a nose are definitely not very good-looking by the aesthetic standards of the human race.
Undoubtedly, that is Jon Rongz, the Martian Manhunter.
Shen You could see at a glance that that force field was not just to restrict movement, but also a cage specially created for the superpowers of the spiritual system. It blocks the sending and receiving of mental signals, and prevents Uncle Yu from trying to use telepathy to contact the outside world.
Shen You walked to the console and lifted the force field. The invisible fluctuations disappeared, and the Martian Manhunter was about to fall down with a bend of his knees, but Shen You's figure flashed from the console to the front of him to catch him.
He looked weak.
Martian Manhunter barely opened his eyes and looked up to see the man supporting him.
"Are you.?"
"I'm here to help you." Shen You said, "I'll take you out now." ”
The Martian Manhunter opened his mouth to say something, but was suddenly interrupted like an electric shock. His body twitched, his expression twisted in pain, and he gritted his teeth and looked difficult.
"How?" Shen You asked.
"No, they're coming, they're coming." Martian Manhunter clutched his head and said bitterly.
"Who's coming?" Shen You frowned.
"They. They've been trying to reach out to me. Martian Manhunter was almost incoherent, "The shielding field interfered with the signal before, so I would only receive a few fragments from time to time.
But for now. There are so many of these images that they have in my head. Uhhh ”
The Martian Manhunter's arms shook, his eyes were red, and the bruises from his arms to his face erupted, and complex veins crawled all over his body.
"The Great Apocalypse Is Coming"
He spoke like a broken doll.
"For. Darkseid! ”
At this point, Shen You still didn't understand, this was attacked by the spiritual ability.
It may be that Uncle Yu has been imprisoned for too long, and his ability and spirit are the weakest. Apocalypse has somehow taken advantage of the situation, trying to brainwash him through psychic attacks, turning him into a powerful ally in his invasion.
At the same time, this also allowed Shen You to be 100% sure that his conjecture was correct, and the new - behind the International Gang was indeed the Apocalypse.
If it is a normal routine, then it is time for Shen You and Uncle Yu to fight, and while fighting, he knows how to reason and move with emotion, so that he can get rid of blackening and regain his strength
If it were Superman, he would probably do that.
But it's a pity for the intruder, he's Ultraman.
Shen You remained silent, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the top of Uncle Yu's head. The light energy surged, and the light of purification began to pour into it from the top of Uncle Yu's head.
In an instant, a blue glow illuminated the entire passage. The light pierced out of the Martian Manhunter's eyes, the virus-like veins gradually faded, and the Martian eyes gradually regained clarity, blooming with a dazzling blue glow.
His eyes widened and he saw what his heart longed for in the deepest part of his life, as if it had come from a previous life.
His wife and daughter, who had long since disappeared in the catastrophe of the extinction of Mars.
"Jung!"
"Daddy!"
Martian Manhunter couldn't believe it and slowly stretched out his hand.
"You guys. . . Why.? ”
He hugged his family closely.
Tears welled up in the corners of the Martian's eyes.
"That's not true, is it? A beautiful fantasy? He said in a choked voice.
But even if he knew it was a dream, he didn't want to wake up. It felt so real, so good. He felt incredible. Calm.
Since the extinction of the Martians, he has never found a moment of peace in his wanderings.
"No, it's not a dream, Jung." His wife held his face and pressed her head against his head and whispered, "It's a gift." ”
"I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." Rong En whispered, "I have failed you, I should have saved you"
The wife smiled and shook her head.
"There's no need for that, Jon." She stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Jung's heart, "We didn't die, we never were. We all live in your heart and have been with you from beginning to end. What you see now is the best proof of this.
I used to ask for nothing else, and now I have only one request. ”
"You say." Jon nodded, "Whatever it is." ”
"That is, stop torturing yourself with the past. Even if it's for us, Jung, hold your head high and live well. ”
"I promise."
The daughter hugged him tightly, and his wife smiled with relief. Both of them turned into blue dots of light and dissipated into the narrow passage.
Jon fell to his knees and closed his eyes for a moment.
As his body changed, his withered body grew stronger, and his body became closer to that of a human. His clothing, belt, and strap-like X-shaped markings appeared on him, and his cloak hung down behind him.
Finally transformed into the classic Martian Manhunter look.
He stood up, wiped away his tears, and turned his head to look at Shen You solemnly: "I don't know how you did it, but thank you." After I lost everything, my whole person has been like a walking corpse, leaving a huge hole in my heart.
And now I feel warm, calm, incredibly fulfilled, a wonderful emotion"
"It's called 'hope,' and it's the driving force for everyone in the universe to move towards the future."
Shen You smiled.
"Don't thank me. Anyway, let's get out first."
Rumble!
The entire prison shook violently over their heads.
Shen You frowned slightly. Now that the mental shield has been lifted, both of them turned on their telepathy and swept outward, quickly confirming the situation in the outside world.
Belriff was attacked.
The first to clear the way was a strange grenade. It was thrown straight on the heavy gate of Bellev, and the violent explosion caused the space to collapse with the explosion point as the center.
The supposedly impregnable gate was like a thin layer of paper, vulnerable to collapse and blasting. Sirens blared, and the jailer guards hurried out. A squad of warriors who appeared out of thin air suddenly burst into the prison, dressed in strange combat uniforms and rampage with energy weapons in hand.
Martian Manhunter's expression was solemn.
"They. It's for me. ”
