American comic book red Superman

Luo Wei knew

Humanoids are not just flying "insects"; there are many different kinds of them. Otherwise, Steppenwolf wouldn't have opened the sonic boom tunnel to teleport the humanoid army to Earth.

“I’ll take care of them.”

As Luo Wei spoke, he clenched his left fist to gather strength, his calf muscles tensed and highlighted the muscle lines. With a "bang," the next second, his body shot out like a missile, kicking up dust, and crashed into the oncoming big guy.

Bang!

Before Bruce and Hal could react, two huge men were sent flying, their massive bodies slamming dozens of meters into a small hillside with a deafening boom that echoed across the horizon, accompanied by flying sand and gravel, like a mushroom cloud.

"Where did he come from?"

Hal Jordan was amazed. He had never listened to a storybook about such a powerful person before, especially since this was the sector he managed.

He stopped watching the show and strode towards another big guy, thinking, "I'll go help him."

"Hey!"

Bruce shouted, but Green Lantern had already flown past. His face was grave as he glanced at the monitor, which showed a tall figure rushing towards him at high speed from directly behind.

"Sir, do you need my help?"

The communicator, which had been silent until now, finally picked up a deep, aged voice.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Bruce refused the butler's request and turned the vehicle around to face the rear. Just like the flying humanoid monster before, this time it was also attacking from both sides. There was a huge monster right behind him, charging towards him on all fours. It was clear that the monster wanted to lure Lowe and Green Lantern away before trying to steal the Mother Box from the vehicle.

"Come!"

Bruce squinted, but could not hide the determination in his eyes. He pressed a button, and a dark cannon immediately opened at the front of the tank.

Click—

A cylindrical missile appeared, and with a "boom," it shot off, accompanied by a dazzling flash of fire and a wisp of white smoke, spinning as it hurtled toward the massive monster charging towards it.

Boom!

When the missile struck the monster, a dazzling flash of light and a deafening roar erupted instantly on the dimly lit plain. This was a real missile, and the sound was much louder than when Rowe blasted the monster away. Even the thick smoke that billowed up was much denser.

"Fuck you guys, aren't you just making things worse?!"

Hal Jordan was a little stunned to see Batman even using missiles. This was the outskirts of Gotham, not too far from the city. Few people would dare to use missiles on American soil, and Batman was one of the few.

"not dead."

On Rowe's side, he had already snapped off the monster's head and turned to look in the direction of the Batmobile.

"What do you mean?"

Hal Jordan hadn't quite grasped the situation. The missile's power was enough to destroy a tall building. No matter how strong that monster was, it was still made of flesh and blood and couldn't possibly face a missile head-on.

However, if the missile misses, that's a different story.

As Hal Jordan was thinking this, in the distance, from the thick white smoke, a huge figure suddenly rushed out. It had no wounds on its body, obviously having just dodged the missile bombardment!

The monster is now only about ten meters away from the bat-cart.

"Roar!"

The enormous monster was well aware of this. Its gaze, peering through the vehicle window, locked onto the Mother Box inside the tank. A crimson glow illuminated its ferocious face as it roared and stomped its feet on the ground, its entire body rising like a flying tank, while simultaneously raising its fists in mid-air.

It crashed down on the Batmobile below. Its body alone was much larger than the Batmobile. This scene was no less than a mountain pressing down on it!

"Fake."

Even the usually refined Bruce couldn't help but curse. Looking at the shadow looming over his face, he disregarded everything else, pressed the button on his chair, and was immediately ejected from the cockpit.

but

Unfortunately, the chair failed to eject him away from the chariot.

He simply landed on the open ground next to the chariot.

However, at this critical moment...

Behind it, a crimson beam of light shot out and pierced through the monster's massive body. Blood gushed from its chest like a fountain, splashing under Gotham's gloomy moonlight and soaking the soil.

A few drops of blood splattered onto Bruce Wayne's astonished face.

Chapter 74, Section 73: The Mother Box (Part 1)

怕啦

The gloomy sky dissipated, and the bright moonlight shone down squarely on the earth.

The massive body of the aerial monster crashed down with a spray of blood, hitting the bat-shaped vehicle below with a loud thud. Fortunately, the vehicle was made of bulletproof material, and the impact of the heavy object was not enough to damage it; at most, it only left a few dents.

"call"

Bruce Wayne took a deep breath. The strong smell of blood in the air irritated his nose and mouth, and the scene in front of him further stimulated his nerves. He stood up, panting, and looked back with a complicated expression.

"Oh, this scene is rather brutal."

Hal Jordan flew over, pinched his nose, and frowned, saying, "Mysterious Man, I didn't expect you to have so many abilities."

"I'm sorry, I didn't want you to see such a brutal scene, but the monster was moving too fast at the time, and I thought a ranged attack would be more effective."

Luo Wei shrugged. The incident happened so suddenly that he instinctively used his thermal vision. He hadn't expected the monster to be so fragile; his thermal vision alone was enough to almost cut it in half.

"yes."

Beside him, Bruce Wayne, who had been panting, had now calmed his breathing and become much more indifferent. In a deep, altered voice, he said, "What you just shot out wasn't a laser?"

"Well, it's a different kind of ray. I can't explain it clearly. You may not have seen it before, but it's quite powerful."

Luo Wei nodded. The light emitted by the thermal vision was indeed not a laser, but rather the light produced by the reflective layer behind the retina of his own eyes. That is why it was called the "thermal vision".

In the original comics, Batman had researched heat vision. He believed that Superman might have some kind of special light-reflecting organ growing behind his retina, and that it could use the energy stored in his body's cells to launch ray attacks, with the power of the rays depending on the amount of energy stored.

Furthermore, the heat vision is an organ behind the retina. After special reflection, the heat vision is enhanced, resulting in reflected light that is more powerful than ordinary light. This is the reason for the scorching beam of light. Later, when Superman's organ became incredibly powerful, it was able to pierce through the Earth beneath his feet.

"I think I may have seen something similar to yours somewhere."

Bruce Wayne's voice was deep, his gaze fixed on Rowe's eyes. Since Rowe was wearing a mask, he could only judge his suspicions by observing those eyes.

Because the mysterious person in front of him was all too familiar; he must have seen him somewhere before.

"Alright, now we should think about how to deal with the Mother Box. The monsters have all been dealt with, but the Mother Box is still there, and I think even more monsters will be attracted here."

Hal Jordan interrupted their conversation, then conjured a giant hand to move the corpses on top, opened the Batmobile, and retrieved the Mother Box.

"Why don't you try conjuring something up and locking it up temporarily?"

Bruce Wayne looked at the monster corpses and remains scattered everywhere. He didn't want to experience another attack. If the number was much greater than before, he might not be so lucky. After all, he had almost been crushed by monsters along with his tank.

Cut into chunks.

"Let me try."

Hal Jordan closed his eyes slightly, countless things flashed through his mind, and finally chose one of the boxes. He then clenched his fist and the light ring emitted a green light, which enveloped the mother box. The next second, the mother box was immediately put into the heavy box.

"The signal must be blocked."

Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a faint fluctuation around the mother box dissipate, which should have been the electrical signal.

"Hold on."

Bruce got into the car, took out a device, and after checking it up and down, he found that the device did not display a signal. He then nodded and said, "The signal is blocked. Give it to me."

"No, no, I want to take it to the Guardian."

Hal Jordan shook his head. "This thing can't be left on Earth without the Green Lantern Corps' permission."

"You can't take it back; the outside world is probably full of humanoid demons now."

Lowe interrupted, explaining, "Besides, there are two other Mother Boxes on Earth. If the Apocalypse People find one of them, they can find the Green Lantern Corps' headquarters. Since the Mother Boxes were previously connected, we might be able to use the connections between them to find the other two Mother Boxes."

If Green Lantern takes it back, it will only cause more trouble. You have to know that the Mother Boxes are all connected. There are still two other Mother Boxes on Earth that have not been found. The Apocalypse People will not leave easily.

Therefore, we need to use the mother box we have now to find the other two and hide them. Only in this way can we avoid trouble.

"Where is the mother box kept?"

Hal Jordan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit tired. He had originally thought it would be a simple mission to retrieve unauthorized alien items, but things turned out to be far more complicated than he had imagined, involving a bunch of things he didn't even know about the lamp ring.

"I have a place."

Bruce Wayne volunteered again, and the two men looked at him. Although the previous base had not left a good impression, it seemed that there was no better place to store the Mother Box at the moment.

Gotham City, a hidden underground base, is spacious. The preparation hall alone is large enough to accommodate several fighter jets. There is indeed a high-tech fighter jet in the preparation hall, parked in the center. In front of the fighter jet is a long and narrow runway, which can take off into the sky at any time.

The other facilities in the underground base are also brand new and understated yet exude a high-tech feel. The open door on the right side of the lobby allows a clear view of the room filled with screens displaying surveillance footage from all corners of Gotham City!

"So, you really do have a new base."

Hal Jordan sighed, looking around. He had seen Green Lantern Corps bases before, but Batman's base was the best he had ever seen on Earth. Keep in mind that Batman was a civilian, not an official organization.

"Your base is pretty good."

Luo Wei was also somewhat surprised. Batman's base facilities were probably not much worse than the Self-Reliance Department's headquarters, but he was even more surprised that Batman, such a cautious person, would choose to bring them to the base.

I don't know what they're planning.

"Ah."

Bruce led the two men to a huge box in the hall. After entering the password, the box door slowly opened with a "click".

He took the mother box from Hal Jordan's hand and put it...

He went inside and then explained, "This box can isolate all signal sources, so you don't need to worry about your abilities failing."

"Then you still want me to use the lamp ring."

Hal Jordan was speechless; it turned out Batman had been prepared all along.

"Just in case, I don't want the enemy to know the location of the base."

Bruce Wayne smiled.

"Just like Batman."

Luo Wei thought to himself.

"So, what should we do now? Go find the other two mother boxes?"
