Chapter 588: Kryptonite Purging Plan
HISHE, Cafe, Justice League exclusive VIP room.
"Thank you again for your assistance."
Superman said sincerely.
"You know, it's really important for me, for Kara, it's really important. Earth is the only home we have left, and if we have nowhere to stay here, I don't know."
"It's okay, it's just a gesture."
Shen You waved his hand casually while operating on the virtual interface of the floating screen.
"I don't waste any time."
This is not polite, but the truth. For him, it was indeed a gesture, because at this time, it was also a high-speed afterimage who was accompanying Superman to do his kryptonite cleaning game, and Shen You was doing his daily work at the same time.
"But you might have to be mentally prepared, it's not going to be easy." Shen You said, "The earliest time was before you came to Earth, Smallville ushered in a meteor shower. At that time, it brought a lot of disasters to the town, and at the same time, there was a large amount of kryptonite
Of course, I think you already know that. ”
Superman nodded: "Of course, unforgettable." ”
For details, you can see the American drama "Superman Prequel", and you can see that Superman's adolescence was simply grown up with kryptonite, and his town was full of kryptonite.
"And Smoville's is only part of it, and that meteorite shower is worldwide. It was the first time Earth had encountered a massive arrival of kryptonite, which was a debris from your hometown that had exploded and splattered out. ”
Shen You continued.
"But that's not the only time. In the years that followed, kryptonite continued to visit Earth from time to time in the form of meteorites. It's not frequent, but it's accumulated over the decades.
Further words. It should be this time. ”
He adjusted the graphics, and the screen was quickly cut to a new interface. It was on the outskirts of Gotham, a giant crater, and a tiny Kryptonian ship.
"Ah, that's my ship!" Karadao.
"Yes, in the same month that Super Girl came to Earth, the Earth also ushered in a large-scale meteor shower, and a lot of kryptonite fell here."
Kara stuck out her tongue as if to say, "My pot?"
"So we're dealing with kryptonite that has been missed and collected so far around the world." Shen You said, "Fortunately, I studied kryptonite a long time ago. I adjusted the power of my radar to global coverage and was able to detect the unique radiation wavelengths of kryptonite. ”
"What about precision?" Superman asked.
"At the atomic level, not even a single drop of kryptonite particles will be missed." Shen You smiled, "Theoretically, if some idle villain collects all the kryptonite atoms we missed, it might be enough for you to eat a pot of them."
But don't worry, good things are done in the end, and since I want to help, there will be no mistakes. I promise to help you find every kryptonite atom on Earth. ”
"Wow, that's thank you." Superhuman.
Batman was really right, it was indeed a good idea to ask Shen You for help.
Sure enough, that sentence was correct.
You can always trust Ultraman.
"I've got storage containers ready in the Nevaa desert." Batman said, "It should fit all the kryptonite we collect." Once finished, we destroy them in one go. ”
"Glad to hear you're prepared." Shen You shrugged, "But I'm on a bold guess that you might need a larger container. ”
As he spoke, he tapped on the virtual keyboard.
A projection of the Earth emerges, and the kryptonite signal is marked by a green dot of light. The moment the mark was completed, everyone's pupils involuntarily contracted and their eyes widened.
Because they saw it. A large patch of green.
Large tracts of green light, like green grasslands, are scattered all over the world, densely packed.
Obviously, even Superman, who came up with this idea, didn't expect that there would really be so much kryptonite on Earth.
He had no idea how close reality was to his nightmare.
"Look, I'll say it." Shen You turned around calmly, "You need a bigger container." ”
This is obviously a huge undertaking.
There are surprisingly large quantities of kryptonite all over this azure world, and it can be said that it is almost everywhere. Of course, this did not make Superman back down, on the contrary, it only strengthened his determination to clean up the world.
Superman wears the suit that Kara designed for him, which effectively enhances solar energy absorption and insulates Krypton radiation.
He had only happened to be on a business trip as Clark Kent a few days ago without a high-tech suit, wearing a traditional superman uniform that Martha had sewn for him herself. As a result, he was recruited at the same time as a business trip.
Who would have thought that a movie set would have real kryptonite?
Superman was in charge of the larger ones that were easier to find, and he flew around all day carrying huge piles of kryptonite like a hill.
Batman, on the other hand, is responsible for those that are hidden and hard to find, which is also in line with their respective character positioning.
Batman raids one of Black Mask's self-confessed top-secret armories and finds a chest of kryptonite from a chamber on the third basement level.
He visits Arkham Asylum at night, breaks into the Joker's cell, and uses a batrang to slit open the head of the Joker's teddy bear.
"Teddy~ You died so miserably!" The clown cried.
But Batman was unmoved, silently pulled out a small piece of kryptonite from Teddy's head, gave the Joker an old punch by the way, and then walked away.
Like a drill, Superman drilled into the bottom of a mountain range at supersonic speed, and discovered a large kryptonite mine two hundred meters underground. I've been lying here for years, and I've never been noticed.
There's even a real krypton ore on display in a display case at a museum in Chicago. Batman visited once in the middle of the night when there was no one, and when the staff opened the door the next morning, they found that the kryptonite in the display case was gone, leaving only a dozen bills about twice the price of kryptonite
Superman is convinced that he is saving lives by doing so that he can better help more people. That's why Batman promised to help him.
And Shen You took Carla to the depths of the sea, a depth that modern humans have not yet been able to reach.
Beams of energy cut through the volcanic rock formations like scalpels, and thick dust carried them up in the waves.
Shen You made a gesture of "get up", as if an entire mountain was hanging out of thin air under the power of the mind. Dazzling green light radiated from the hole, beautiful but deadly.
A total of twenty-eight tons of super-giant kryptonite, buried deep in the ocean floor unknown to this day.
"It's beautiful."
Through the protective layer of the suit, Kara flew to the surface of the kryptonite, reaching out and gently touching the beautiful crystal.
Kryptonite is not only a substance that kills Kryptonians, but also a fragment of their homeland. Carla remembered her hometown, remembered the past. This one may have come from the city where she used to live, maybe it was the crust of Krypton, or it could have been the center of the earth.
Maybe she even ran on this rock as a child.
"Homesick?" Shen You asked.
"Huh? Oh, a little. ”
Kara looked at Kryptonite, a little distracted.
"It's just. It's really beautiful. Krypton was also beautiful at once, our city, our people, where we lived, created and farmed"
She closed her eyes and shook her head slightly.
"It feels like a lifetime."
Shen You nodded.
"I'm not going to pretend I understand what it feels like, but maybe we can get it back and be sad. It's not a good time. ”
"Huh?" Kara tilted her head.
"I mean," Shen You looked at the dark depths of the sea and the large shadows that were approaching with ordinary eyes, "we're in company. ”
