Chapter 56

Three months passed quietly like this, and with the debut of Superman II from the other camp, and the silence from the Soviet camp, the entire international situation became clear at a glance.

Internationally, the allies headed by the United States continue to expand their armaments, and local frictions continue to occur on the borders of allies belonging to the Soviet camp. The upgraded nuclear weapons stockpile makes it impossible for the Soviet side to take much action other than vocal reprimand. Because whenever they prepare to take military action in response, the Superman II created by Lex Luthor will appear in the place where the military conflict broke out.

This invulnerable steel body only needs to stand there, and the situation on the battlefield becomes one-sided. Among the known individual weapons, there is no one that can harm this monster, but none of them can counter this monster. The existence of monsters, with the changes in the international situation, the Soviet camp has repeatedly retreated, and different voices have also sounded internationally.

Some people say that the curtain of the Cold War is about to fall, and the existence of Superman has completely tilted the balance.

Some people say that a new cold war is about to begin. This is a new round of military competition. From weapons of mass destruction to the research of super soldiers. Russia’s national strength is not inferior to that of the United States. It can manufacture atomic bombs. There is no reason why they cannot make another A Superman Three.

At this juncture of divergent opinions, a bad news came from the Soviet side. Their Iron Warrior fell ill, and the leader who led the Soviet to win the war fell down and was on the verge of leaving at any time. As a banner, his fall has clarified the originally unpredictable international situation. This leader is of great significance to the Soviet camp. If he really passes away, the other side does not need to do anything, just look at this It is enough for the country to fall apart.

In Metropolis, after a fight with the old 52 Wally, Ke Wen and Wally lurked here. Regarding the investigation of the mysterious third party, they have no clues here, and the old 52 Wally has no clues. clear. But in order to prevent the old 52 Wally from continuing to make trouble, Ke Wen and Wally stayed and stared at him. After three months, the old 52 Wally didn't mess around, and they couldn't act rashly. Dick They didn't send any meaningful information to themselves, and they were also watching the situation change here.

When they saw the Iron Warrior from the Soviet camp fall on the news, the two also felt emotional.

"56 years, three years longer than the one in the history of our main universe," Wally read the report in the newspaper, and understood that if there were no accidents, he would not be able to stand up when he fell down this time, and the Cold War With the fall of the Iron Warrior, the pattern gradually came to an end.

"After all, it is a multi-parallel universe, and the timeline must be different, but for now, the ending seems to be clear. There is no one there who can handle it. We can't be their swords, unless they let the anti-superman Entering the border and carrying out the so-called assassination, but I don’t think anyone who can be in that position should be so stupid. Look, the turning point is here. According to the timeline we saw before, Superman will be in The Iron Warrior passed away and took over as leader, just wondering what this mysterious third party would have Superman do."

"Is this important?" Wally was also puzzled by Ke Wen's wait and see.

"It's very important. If he let Superman take over as the leader according to the timeline development we have seen before, then the next timeline development will be similar to what we have seen before, except that there are a few more spoilers like us. , even if this timeline collapses ahead of time, it will not affect the rebirth of the next timeline. So we can't do anything about the unsolved things, we can only deal with it by watching the development of the situation, just wait, just take a rest After a while, I'll go to sleep first."

In response to Wally's words, Ke Wen also directly covered the newspaper on his face, snorted and fell into a deep sleep. In the distance of the Lex Enterprise Building, the old 52 Wally also read the information in the newspaper. Looking into the distance, he also had the same idea as Ke Wen.

"The mysterious third party, the perception that even I can block, is interesting, what are you going to do this time? You don't know how big this timeline change is, Ke Wen."

The old 52 Wally who was talking to himself turned around and looked at the personal laboratory belonging to Lex Luthor behind him. Through the glass on the steel door, he could see the flickering light inside, and at the same time came out, And Lex Luthor's insane laugh.

"Hahahaha! Sure enough, what is enviable is my god-like wisdom! Hahahaha!"

Lex Luthor's crazy and self-satisfied laughter sounded in the laboratory from time to time, while the old 52 Wally was looking at the scorpion tape used for transformation in his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing an arc.

"Times have changed, Ke Wen."

With his hands behind his back, the transformation tape and bracelet are worn on the wrist of the old 52 Wally, which looks deep under the sunlight.

The Soviet Union, with the fall of the leader of the Iron Warriors, and the international situation, because of the existence of anti-Superman, and the continuous oppression happened, so that the people of this country were covered with a dark cloud. From their point of view, perhaps when this Iron Warrior leaves the world completely, it will be the time when their great country falls apart, a hostile country that keeps making progress in the international arena.

The unresolved people's livelihood on the mainland is a heavy burden on this country, and the fall of this steel warrior is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Somyshka was walking on the streets of the city of Moscow, looking at passers-by in a hurry on the street, as well as a long queue at the relief office waiting to receive relief meals. There were old people, men, women, children, every day A person with a disheveled look on his face, looking at the relief center, can't see any hope for the future in his eyes. Somyshka looked at these people, and all the beautiful pictures about the capital in his mind became disillusioned.

People here are waiting in a long queue at the relief office, who knows whether it is bread or grain-like food to barely satisfy their hunger, and on the other side, on other streets, he can see well-dressed city people mingling in restaurants and eating delicious food , His super vision and super hearing hidden in ordinary people can make him see everything clearly. His kind nature engraved in his DNA made him understand that all of this was wrong, but he didn't know what to do. For a moment, his super-fast thinking made his brain ache.

"Somyshka, what's the matter with you?" Lana, his playmate who left the farm and came to the big city to look for opportunities, also noticed his abnormality and cared.

"I'm fine, Lana, I just don't get it."

"Understand what?"

"It's all different from what uncle and the others told us, and Moscow doesn't look like anything good."

"Yes, but we have no choice. The farm is almost out of business, but those gentlemen naively think that planting corn can save the country. The only thing we can do is to come to Moscow to find a way out."

"But look at those children, they are standing in the queue begging for food like animals!" Pointing to the children who were snuggling beside their parents at this time, looking at the children around with vigilant eyes, Somyshka's tone carried A little bit of self-blame said there

"Yes, but it's not your fault, Somyshka, you've been so kind since I've known you, but you don't need to blame it on yourself. It's just the state system The way it works, now the supreme leader is dying too, everything is going to get worse, but you don't have to, and you can't worry about everyone's problems, we just need to be ourselves, ok, let's go to dinner first Bar."

Pulling Somyshka who had recovered, Lana also went to have a meal with preparations, which was the beginning of a new life for them to come to a new city. And looking at this playmate who grew up with her, Somyshka recalled what she said just now, turned her head and looked at the refugees who were receiving relief meals at the relief office, and the thoughts about herself echoed in her mind. Dad's teachings on this.

The words that I originally wanted to say were also held back in my mouth, and I didn't know where to start.

He wants to say that he can change all of this, his talent, his existence, is the superman this country has been looking for, his wisdom, and his strength can make this country that is about to shut down work again. But the father who adopted me, his teachings made me dare not say this sentence. Human beings themselves are a race that keeps making mistakes, keeps moving forward, and keeps making mistakes. Your power is so powerful that it can shield humans from making all mistakes , is the root cause of human destruction.

When he was a child, he didn't understand why his father said this, and now he doesn't understand either. He just vaguely felt that if he really desperately went to help the people in these relief centers, something bad would happen, and he had to Figure out a way to get the best of both worlds.

On the other side, Dick and Connor, who obtained information about the Green Lantern Corps from the KGB headquarters, also followed the clues provided in the information and came to this mysterious thirteenth district that does not exist on the map but only exists in people's memory. The thirteenth area of ​​another spacecraft is located in this Caucasus mountain range. And Dick and Connor were also dumbfounded looking at the endless Caucasus Mountains.

"Are you sure, there's nothing here?" Dick looked at the clues on the information and asked Connor, who was using super vision to observe, repeatedly.

"No lead, no magic, just mountains and an obvious nuclear stockpile, I'm sure my eyes won't fool me, no pretense."

After finishing his search, Connor was also answering there. At the same time, he also looked at the information map in Dick's hand and raised his eyebrows. Needless to say, he doubted the authenticity of the information in Dick's hand.

"Hey, you can doubt me, but you can't doubt the Batman and Deathstroke who taught me. We are all taught by the same teacher. Do you think I will have problems in this regard?"

Dick also felt Connor's silent questioning, and directly responded with a rant, and Connor shut up. The super vision began to scan the sky of the mountains, but still did not see any problems.

"The problem is neither on your side nor mine, so it's much more interesting." After the mysterious thirteenth area where the Green Lantern Corps was hidden could not be detected, Dick looked at the information in his hand, and then looked at the area. Endless mountains, can not help but say.

"Interesting? Can you not play this challenge with the strongest brain at this critical moment? It has been three months, and a Superman II has been created over there. We haven't made any progress here. The situation is very wrong! "

Regarding Dick's speech, Connor rolled his eyes and stared at the sky speechlessly.

"But the fact is that we need to wait. We were all deceived before. We always thought that the Russian camp would not have any great scientific research results. In terms of superhuman spaceships, it seems that we are all wrong now. There are more things than we imagined, not only Superman's spaceship technology, I think even the technology of the Green Lantern Corps is also advancing, but they are too greedy and want to have both, so they can't come up with either. This stimulus will make them choose between the two."

"But the problem is, even if they choose one of the two, don't we know nothing about it?"

"I'll know. Isn't this coming? Your super hearing didn't hear anything?"

When Dick said this, Connor couldn't help being taken aback. In his super hearing, an engine was flying towards this side from far to near. Turning around, in Connor's super vision, a large transport plane was just like that. Flying here, and the structure and flight speed of this large transport aircraft have surpassed the limit of this era. Looking at the sickle and ax printed on the plane, Connor turned his head and looked at Dick.

"Supply transportation, no matter how mysterious the thirteenth district is, as long as there are people in it, they need to eat, drink, and relax mentally. You have also seen that the technology of this aircraft is not what it should be in this era. Next, let's see Your timing is right, only when we get on this plane can we know where the so-called thirteenth district is."

"Leave it to me."

Take Dick to hide in the dark, use the black technology that surpasses this era to block the radar search on the plane, find the moment when the plane flashes past your head, take Dick, release the biological force field on his body, Wrapping Dick, Connor also led Dick to the bottom of the transport plane at the fastest speed, and the two of them clung to the belly of the plane. Stealth achievement, achievement, before Dick and Connor high-fived to celebrate, something incredible happened.

The transport plane did not continue to move forward after flying over the mountain, but controlled the fuselage to climb towards the sky. As the altitude continued to rise, Dick and Connor also noticed changes in the surrounding clouds. The clouds surrounded the plane, and space appeared. Distorted, a burst of strong light stimulated the eyes of Dick and Connor, and after they got used to the strong light, they also came to a different area.

The plane returned to its original height and began to descend. Dick and Connor lowered their heads and saw the mountain peaks that were close at hand, but these peaks were like reflections in the water, passed by the plane, and there was no accident of plane crash . Looking at each other, the two also left the plane and fell towards the ground. At the same time, they watched the plane land slowly. Only then did they understand why the 13th district could not be found in reality, because it did not exist In reality, in another space.

He took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the stopped hour hand. Dick's expression also became serious.

"Well, this is bad enough. This is a space without the concept of time. It's really hard for them to find such a good place. Look here, Connor, it really looks like the edge of purgatory."

"Ah, to some extent, this place is purgatory."

Connor also had a serious expression, looking at this mysterious space without the concept of time and space, he also replied.

"You know this place?"

"I don't know, but in Superman's Fortress of Solitude, he showed me related records. Before Krypton was destroyed, they would execute exile punishment for the heinous criminals, and they would be imprisoned to retain their perception. , into a dark zone without the concept of time and space, that place is called the phantom zone, which is where we are now."

Hearing Connor's narration, Dick couldn't help but thump in his heart, and in the distance, a green light also lit up in the sky, followed by several explosions, and both Dick and Connor could see several fighter jets The wreckage fell from the sky, and the oath that came made Dick and Connor's expressions stagnate

【In the brightest day and in the darkest night, no injustice can escape my eyes. If anyone respects power and oppression, be careful of my power! Davarish! 】

With the roar of such oaths, the green light in the distance exploded, causing the expressions of Dick and Connor to change.

"Okay, this time it's really a big deal,"

The two said in unison.
