The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3529 Research on Cats and Dogs (Seventy-Seven)

However, this method of use also has some advantages. That is, it can fundamentally solve the problem that Kryptonians are too strong to be controlled.

For example, now, Hal can wake up Zod without any scruples, without worrying that he will smash the surroundings with his fists after waking up, because I'm afraid he can hardly even lift his arms now.

After Zod woke up, he was indeed very weak. To be precise, he could not completely leave the cryogenic chamber, otherwise his life might be in danger.

Since this matter was related to Krypton, all Kryptonians were called in, including Clark and Kara from this universe, and two Superman from other universes.

However, considering that this was a conversation, not an interrogation, calling everyone in unison would inevitably sound like a threat and put too much pressure on the other party. So Hal took Zod to another room, while the others watched the surveillance in the conference room.

Hal was just on guard, and the real representative in the conversation was Oliver. After reading Zod's resume, he was also very curious about what the general was thinking.

Although his ability was greatly weakened, the Kryptonian's super vision still allowed Zod to see the contents of the document in Oliver's hand. He snorted disdainfully:
"It seems that you have been to my hometown. I hope those green flies didn't take anything away..."

Hal was about to lose his temper, but Oliver stopped him. He sighed softly and said, "General Zod, you should understand that it is because we found this information that you have the opportunity to talk to us. Otherwise, we could have sent you directly to the laboratory.

"Of course, I don't want to talk to you in such a threatening manner. There is no point in us attacking each other, and I think you should know this better than me.

"We won't force you to cooperate. We just want to know what happened on your home planet Krypton and what role you played in it."

Zod remained silent, which looked like passive resistance, but also like he was recalling.

Oliver kept his promise and chose not to ask any questions, as if he could think there for as long as he wanted. It also showed that he was confident and not afraid of delaying time.

Zod seemed to have accepted his fate, and seemed to have ended his memories, and said: "You humans always have this meaningless curiosity. But I am not here to satisfy your curiosity."

"In fact, we are curious about why you are here. If you are willing to talk about it, that's fine." Oliver always acted gentle, but it was an annoying gentleness, as if the other party was in control and he was just an ant crawling past the card table.

"Of course I'm here to find Kal-El. Unfortunately, he will always only stand on your side and help weak humans like you instead of his compatriots."

"What the hell is that!" Clark shouted in the conference room. He believed Zod could hear him. "He has been on Earth for a few months, and he has never contacted me since the beginning!"

"I'm a reporter, my phone number is public, if he wanted to investigate a little he could have contacted me, but he didn't! Now you want to put the blame on me, no way!"

After that, Clark showed his call records and text message history to prove his innocence.

Bruce pulled his arm and said, "If he contacts you, can you still go back with him?"

"I didn't say that. Besides, even if I want to go back and take a look, would you stop me?"

"Of course not. What I meant is that if you want to go back and see it, take me with you. I want to see it too."

"Then I'll go too," Diana said, "Actually, I'm really curious about what your hometown is like."

"Hal must have got the coordinates," Clark said. "When he returns for his report, let's take a ride and check it out."

Zod's temples throbbed at the conversation in the next conference room. He took a deep breath and said, "You stupid, despicable people..."

"I hope you'll think carefully about your words, Mr. Zod." Oliver said with a wry smile, "Even if you're not afraid of death, you should consider it carefully. Your spaceship is still in our hands."

"If I'm not mistaken, without this ship, your wife and children would be stuck in the Phantom Zone forever. Is that right?"

Zod clenched his fists suddenly. He began to waver in his heart, not because of Oliver's threat, but because he realized that the other party really had some information channel that he was not aware of.

The story between him and Ursa could indeed be found by checking some records on Krypton, but his child was born not long ago, and it was impossible for this group of humans to enter the Phantom Zone. How did they know?
Zod took a deep breath and said, "I will not be threatened by you."

Oliver looked at him helplessly and said, "It seems that you have been threatening us all along, Mr. Zod. We have only taken some necessary measures to protect ourselves. You can't deny that, right?"

Zod also secretly regretted it in his heart, but it was not for anything else, but for his own carelessness. He really shouldn't have rashly entered the earth without investigating it thoroughly.

But people are always responsible for their own decisions. After figuring this out, Zod looked at Oliver and said, "Even if you kill me, you won't get any information from me. If you don't believe me, just try it."

Oliver was not surprised. It would be strange if such a person could speak out so easily.

"Whether you believe it or not, we have no intention of killing you or doing anything to you. Even if we need to conduct some scientific research, it will not endanger your life. As for your family, we have no idea where to start."

"But I also hope that you understand that we didn't just treat you as an experimental subject for research because there are things in you that deserve our respect as an intelligent life. We want to know the full picture of the matter, and we just want to explore these things in more depth, not to gather intelligence."

Oliver sighed and said, "Mr. Zod, your race has been destroyed. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, this is a fact. Many secrets that you think should be kept are no longer meaningful. Can we still invade Krypton in the opposite direction?"

"We sit here and invite you to talk about your past. We are not looking for science or Kryptonian intelligence. An extinct civilization cannot be a match for humans. We just want to understand what kind of person you are. That's all."

"Why are you interested in this?" Zod asked.

"Why can't we be interested in this? This is important to us."

"Why is it so important?" Zod said, "I never harbor unnecessary illusions. The Kryptonian civilization has indeed been destroyed. In this case, everything that has happened on that planet is meaningless to you. This includes my past."

"No, I think this may be the difference between humans and Kryptonians. History is meaningful to us, and it is of great significance. We want to hear the facts from you, but we just hope that the history we can learn is true and accurate."

"I still don't understand," Zedd said.

"Okay, let me get this straight. This may sound abrupt, but I'm going to say it anyway. From what we've found out, the Kryptonian Senate is wrong, and you're right. You're not a criminal, you're a hero."

Zod was stunned.

Oliver held up the information in his hand and said, "This is our judgment of history. And this judgment arouses our new curiosity: If you are not a saboteur with evil plans in your mind, then why are you so eager to come to Earth?"

"You see, humans don't learn from history, but we do find problems in history and compare them to the present. This is the source of our almost endless curiosity. Are you not curious about this?"

Zod pursed his lips tightly.

"I'm not a hero." The wrinkles on Zod's face swayed in the shadow of the light, like an earthquake that had lasted for hundreds of years and erupted in an instant.

"By human standards, you are. If by Kryptonian standards you are not, then perhaps that is the main reason why Krypton is destroyed, but humans are still alive."

Zod looked completely overwhelmed. He said, "Do you think this will break me?"

"Your problem is not about right or wrong, but about love and hate." The wrinkles on Oliver's face also looked like swords and sabers, but his eyes looked like land that had just been soaked by river water, with thousands of miles of fertile fields and a smooth road.

"You love your homeland, so you want to change it. You also hate it because there are too many things there that don't understand you. I've had those times too. I know it's painful."

"But human life span is short, at least much shorter than yours. We don't have much time to spend in pain. It took me about a week to get over it. How about you?"

"I don't expect anyone to understand me. Because like I said, I'm not a hero. You can think of me as a rebel. I've always thought of me as such."

"Do you think only successful people can be called heroes?"

"Don't you think so?"

"No, we often say 'prison makes saints'. People always realize at the last moment that those who often convict people do not have such a natural right."

"If they are not justified, then my imprisonment is not an unspeakable mistake, but an honor, which means that I have at least stood in front of this dangerous beast for a moment, making them feel terrified and forced to put shackles on me."

"But I'm afraid to disappoint you," Zod said, "I didn't do anything for the Kryptonians. I just find that society ridiculous."

"If you are born to be a general, you will become a general no matter what. I did so many extraordinary things to prove this. As it turned out, they did it."

"Even though I was imprisoned several times in my youth for various dangerous crimes, I became a general. And to repay their trust in me, I did what a general should do."

"what is that?"

"Protect the planet."
