Chapter 1698 Bruce Wayne and the Prisoner of the Batcave (7)
Washington, 6:30am, superhero impromptu rally site.
One of Batman's safe houses scattered around the world, it's nominally the headquarters of a luxury vacation company that sells yachts and provides sea line services, and superheroes have been operating here for some time, as has Batman.
No bat safe house is a dark, cramped, dilapidated cellar. Batman has plenty of ways to get reasonable approvals and blatantly build a base.
Vacation companies that arrange routes and provide services for the rich will of course build their headquarters large and luxurious. There is a resort hotel that is not open to the public and only accepts private appointments. It is composed of an event building and a conference building. To provide privacy protection for the rich people who come here for consultation, but in fact it is only to cover the activities of superheroes.
When Superman walked out of the room, he wasn't even wearing a uniform. The hair that was always combed neatly behind his head now had several strands hanging over his forehead, and several strands were curled up behind his head. Superman didn't even want to Smooth them out with your own superpowers.
He instinctively fumbled into the kangaroo-like pocket on the front of his sweater, took out the pair of black-rimmed glasses and wanted to put them on his face, and then thought that he was in a superhero's base, not a reporter's apartment in a metropolis.
He sighed softly, brushed his hair casually, put the glasses back in his pocket, walked towards the bathroom, and then met Wonder Woman with the same black and disheveled hair face to face.
"God, this is the 10,000th time I swear this year that we shouldn't have drunk so much last night." Wonder Woman took a deep breath, tapped her temple with the heel of her palm and said, "Let yourself be drunk It's really a very bad habit, really very, very..."
"Good morning, Diana." Superman greeted very politely, he opened his eyes vigorously and said, "It's not that alcohol is harmful to us, but you are sure that we are so drunk that it is not Batman who put drugs in the wine Yet?"
Wonder Woman waved her hand vigorously and said, "Don't tell ghost stories early in the morning, isn't he weird enough recently?"
"It can't be more strange than the two of you blocking the bathroom door."
A black shadow appeared quietly. Of course, Batman should appear like this. Superman looked back at him in confusion. Of course, Batman should have put on a bat suit at 5:30 in the morning. Every bat dart is polished to shine.
"Seriously, Batman, why do you think that the fact that you bought us a drink won't be understood by us as something else? Do you think we only have seven seconds of memory?" Superman narrowed his eyes a little dissatisfied explain.
"I just hope you stop those ridiculous speculations, and pass out drunk."
Wonder Woman raised her hand in a state of collapse, then slid it down forcefully and said, "Why don't you let us guess? Your hometown, your little baby, usually whenever people approach you, they will yell at their brother like a rock star." Tan, you are almost in ruins now, and you, you just spent a week in our base like this!"
"I've said it many times, Batman, if there's a problem I can't solve, I can..."
"There is no difficulty that cannot be solved."
"Oh, of course you." Superman shook his head and didn't want to discuss this issue at all. He walked into the bathroom and said, "I think getting Batman out of Gotham is more important than investigating Darkseid." too much."
"You should drink more."
Wonder Woman brushed her hair, turned around and walked a few steps away from the bathroom door to show her gentlemanly spirit, then leaned against the wall with her arms folded and said, "You didn't replace the whiskey with ginger juice yesterday, What the hell is going on, Batman?"
Batman curled the corners of his mouth down, showing a very classic "Although it looks like I don't want to explain it on the surface, but it's actually hard for me to explain it" expression.
Obviously, no one in the world but Batman could read such a complicated expression on another person's face, so Wonder Woman shook her head and turned to walk towards the landing, saying, "Okay, just In this way, you don’t want to say it.”
She didn't have any hope that Batman would explain, and she never considered that there is really one thing in this world that Batman is difficult to explain-his parents are busy in his Gotham right now Throwing missiles at each other's heads, his kids are busy throwing missiles at everyone else in his Gotham right now, and the main reason he can't be throwing missiles at them is because his nemesis is in his The family waited to see his jokes.
Batman cares about Gotham, but he cares about the Joker even more.
After some deliberation, Batman decides to leave his city for a while, but it's not entirely because the threads are out of order, and it will take him a while to accept that his future life might be a little too fulfilling This fact is partly due to Darkseid who has been eyeing him.
Batman is sure that Darkseid must have some special means to detect the equation in his hand. During this period of time, Green Lantern Hal has frequently provided him with information, saying that the Green Lantern Corps has detected a change in the universe, and it is very likely that some An evil being is eyeing the earth again, and Batman knows it's Darkseid.
Schiller gave him some news about Darkseid, but it was more like his personal speculation. Even so, it was still useful. At least it let Batman know that his next opponent was very likely to be a foreigner. Star King, like all tyrants, will not give up until he achieves his goal.
Therefore, Batman has been staying at the base for the past week, and he is trying to analyze some mysterious cosmic signals provided by the Green Lantern Corps, which is considered to be a precursor to Darkseid's mobilization of the army to besiege the earth.
But of course, Wonder Woman and Superman will be puzzled by this, because they also saw the current situation in Gotham from the news. The spokesperson of the FBI said that they will no longer ignore the city. Both of them understand that, This kind of speech can be called a provocation to Batman, and Batman will not tolerate this.
But Batman tolerated it.
This made the two of them really unable to hold back their curiosity. Even though they knew that Batman couldn't provide more explanations, they still couldn't help but often insinuate, wanting to know what made Batman turn sexual.
Of course, this kind of frequent probing and questioning failed to get a real answer, but it got Batman's generous drinks-boxes of high-quality Scotch malt whiskey, and they got drunk last night.
After coming out of the bathroom, Superman finally sorted out his confused thoughts. He came to the activity room and threw himself on the sofa, looked at Batman standing in the corner and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, but thank you anyway. Wine, whatever you put in it."
"I didn't add anything to it."
"That must be our recent pressure that made us drunk." Wonder Woman reached out and brushed her long hair behind her head, leaning on the window sill and said, "Since you found us to beware of some crazy foreigner." When Star King's work started, I felt extremely tired."
"Because we used to take the initiative to attack crimes in our respective territories, but now we have to stay together and passively guard against aliens invading the earth." Superman rubbed his forehead and continued: "We don't know when the disaster will come, You have to read the signal over and over again, and this tense waiting is much more tiring than punching your fist."
Superman recalled the scene when Batman found him. Of course they knew each other before, but when Batman suggested that they should find more helpers, Superman realized that the problem was not simple.
The intuition from the super brain told him that the so-called Darkseid's invasion of the earth should have a purpose other than simply destroying human beings, but he didn't think about it, anyway, no matter what the purpose was, he must stop it.
The second person who joins the group is not Wonder Woman, but Green Lantern, but Superman speculates that this should be a targeted move by Batman. After all, the Green Lantern Corps is very active in the universe. If you want to keep an eye on an alien king, Hal is the best choice.
Then of course there is The Flash, he and Batman are also old friends, followed by Wonder Woman, and finally Aquaman, but Aquaman doesn't live here now, no matter how luxurious a hotel bathtub is, it can't compare to the sea.
Although they already have so many helpers, there is no significant progress in this matter. Darkseid is dispatching troops, but before he really attacks someone, even the Green Lantern Corps can't do anything about him. But this put a lot of pressure on these superheroes.
Hal keeps getting signals from the Green Lantern Corps. It seems that Darkseid is gathering troops, and some dangerous actions have entered the evaluation process of the Green Lantern Corps, but it is impossible for Batman to treat these dangerous elements with green lights. What hope.
"Let's talk about your work." At this time, Wonder Woman decisively changed the subject, without further entanglement with the reason why Batman stayed here, she said: "You said that you tried to hack into the signal terminal of Apocalypse, Has there been any progress?"
"I intercepted part of the call channel, but I haven't heard Darkseid's voice. What I can confirm is that his generals are mobilizing troops from the edge star area. If they really come, it will be a big battle. tough battle."
"Don't tell me you're really going to just stand here without making some preparations for it."
"I'm standing here and I'm getting ready."
Superman frowned, and Wonder Woman also stared at Batman and said, "Don't be tricky, you don't have to tell us all your plans in detail, but you have to tell us a direction so that we can cooperate."
"We lack the force necessary to keep Darkseid's army off Earth, or if we do, we may lose the help of the Green Lantern Corps, and we are justified victims only when they actually come to Earth."
"But we can't sacrifice the Earth..."
"We cannot sacrifice the planet."
Batman nodded obediently, Wonder Woman and Superman stared at him, not knowing what he was trying to express with his contradictory statement, but Batman just said after sighing inwardly.
"But we can sacrifice Gotham."
Then I added another sentence in my heart.
"...if there's anything left to sacrifice in Gotham right now."
