Chapter 3460 Research on Cats and Dogs (8)
Clark and Bruce came out of the back door of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and headed straight for the parking lot. On the way to find the car, Clark's ears moved and his eyes quietly turned towards a place.
"I think we were discovered by him." Batman, who was standing in the corner of the parking lot, turned around and said to Superman.
"Not surprising. I can hear the sounds across from the earth."
"If I hold my breath..."
“Unless you can pause your heartbeat.”
Batman sorted out his uniform and prepared to deal with the subsequent conversation, but watched Clark and Bruce walk past them and arrive at the car.
"It seems that they don't plan to come to us on their own initiative. Do we want to go over and talk to them?"
"Isn't the question that we should think about now? Are they the two of them going?" Superman looked over there, and Batman followed him and he also looked over.
"Actually, I want to know more about why they drive. The key is, why is Superman driving?"
Superman also raised his eyebrows on one side, looking a little confused, then he turned to Batman and said, "I think this is normal, why don't you let me drive?"
"You'll get used to speeding," Batman said, "and you don't always look at the rearview mirror..."
"That's because I have super listening, I can..."
"They're gone." Batman touched Superman's arm and said, "Follow up, we have to find a chance to talk to them."
"I'm afraid you have to talk to me." A female voice suddenly rang behind them. She turned her head and Diana, wearing a white shirt and a black suit and hip skirt, stood behind them.
"Diana?" Superman called out her name and said, "Well, long time no see. How are you doing lately?"
"Not bad. Welcome to this universe, but before you take action, I need to talk to you. Come with me."
Batman and Superman looked at each other.
"She didn't take a whip."
"Yes. But I'm not sure to run away."
"Then let's go."
"Let's go."
Diana brought them to her office, took out two new cups, and poured them a cup of coffee.
"Please allow me to say it again and welcome. Of course, if you don't like this kind of politeness, we will get straight to the topic. What is your mission to come here?"
Batman shook his head and said, "We have not received the mission yet, but we will definitely protect the people of the Metropolitan area no matter what."
"That's so thankful," Diana said. "If we're facing an alien invasion next, we do need more people."
"Then let's go to the Batcave first." Batman stood up without picking up his coffee, "We suspect that the person who came may be Zod, who has Kryptonian technology. I didn't bring professional equipment when I came here, so I needed to borrow Batman's equipment here."
"No hurry," Diana said. "The members of the Justice League in this universe will arrive soon as soon as possible. When we gather all our people, you can come and help."
"It's only coming tomorrow morning?" Batman frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you notify the Flash? Or is it him..."
"What? Oh, you said Barry. He's preparing for the latest football game." Diana put her hands on her face and smiled, "and his speed is not suitable for bringing people."
Batman nodded slightly, as if signaling Diana to continue. Diana looked at him, not knowing what else to say.
Superman seemed to think of the key to the problem, and he said, "How old is Barry?"
"He's still in college." Diana turned around and put down her coffee cup, and said, "Don't let the adults fight affect the children."
"Okay. It's not too late tomorrow morning," Batman said. "If you don't want us to enter the Bat Cave before this, then we can go to the Justice League base first. Do you have brother eyes?"
“The Justice League’s ground base is in Washington.”
"Uh, ground base?"
"Yes, the main base is Mercury. You guys are not unable to go there, but now the students are on vacation and there is nothing there. We do not monitor the earth through there."
"Then what are you..."
"We used the Luther Group's Sky Eye. He would tell us any abnormalities in the city," Diana said.
"Sorry, can I ask, are Lex Luthor and you teammates in this universe?" Superman also stood up and asked.
"That's right." Diana replied, "He has a good relationship with Clark and Bruce, and is in the same camp as Oliver. Although he has a fair relationship with others, it is reasonable."
Batman and Superman looked at each other.
"He's about Clark...I mean, he has no objection to Superman?"
"I think there is," Diana said with a smile, "because one time when Clark used his breath to clean the manor, he accidentally frozen the entire manor. That almost left him homeless."
Superman didn't even know which of the two things Luther asked Superman to use superpowers to help him clean the house and Superman didn't clean the house well with superpowers.
"If Luther was on our side, things would be much easier," Superman said. "Because every time a big man encounters something, Luther will tie my hands and feet."
"I promise that our universe won't." Diana sighed softly, "because our universe has someone else who ties our hands and feet."
"Okay. I need a base that will allow me to do something. Where should I go?"
“I think the Luther Group Headquarters laboratory is a good choice,” Diana said. “But we need to make three rules.”
"Don't worry, I won't move your things."
"I mean, you need to keep it secret from anything you see there." Diana said with a fingertip on the table, "I mean anything, and anyone."
Batman showed a puzzled expression. Diana did not tell him in detail, and he picked up his phone and dialed the number.
"Hey? Lex? Yes, I've already met them. OK, I'll take them over now. But you'd better clean up and not make it too messy."
Putting down the phone, Diana looked at Batman and said, "Is it your companion who takes you over, or are we driving?"
"There are another pair of dangerous Superman and Batman in the city. Flying is not very safe, so let's drive over." Superman suggested.
"Then you wait a moment, I'll ask Lakes to send a car to pick it up."
"Uh, can't we drive here by ourselves?"
"That's not safe," Diana said.
Diana walked out of the room and seemed to be contacting Lex. Superman said to Batman with some complaints: "It seems they let Lex control the Metropolis. They will regret it."
"At least it's a good thing for the current situation." Batman patted his shoulder and said, "If Luther can unite with the superhero, he's really a big help. Isn't he?"
"Okay." Superman took a deep breath and said, "I will be as polite as possible when I see him later. If I really can't help it, you must stop me."
Batman smiled at him.
After a while, Diana walked in, but behind her were two tall strangers. She stood at the door, waved to Batman and Superman and said, "Come with me."
The two of them walked out the door. Diana and the bodyguard were in front, and Batman and Superman were in the back. Batman turned to Superman and said, "This scene is so strange, why do the three of us need to bring two bodyguards when we travel?"
Superman shook his head, obviously not able to figure it out.
What they couldn't understand was still behind. They walked in the corridor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but instead of taking the elevator they came up, they came to a room.
This is obviously not an exhibition hall or an office. The room is very small, with almost nothing inside, and a painting is placed in the center.
Diana took off the painting and pulled the lever behind it. The wall on the right was moved away, revealing a new elevator.
Several people walked in together. The elevator continued to descend, and Batman calculated it in his mind, and the height reached at least ten floors underground.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Batman and Superman were stunned. There was not a basement or sewer outside, but a highway.
A car was parked next to the road. One of the bodyguards walked over and opened the car door and signaled them to get in.
Diana sat in the co-pilot, and Batman and Superman sat in the back seat. One bodyguard sat in the driver's seat to prepare to drive, and the other helped them close the door and watch them leave.
"What's the situation?" Batman asked.
"They are from the Luther Group." Diana said in a light tone, "Relax, it's to ensure safety."
After driving on the unobstructed underground road for more than 10 minutes, the car stopped. After they got off the car, Batman saw a glass door on the side of the road, and two people stood in front of it.
Diana walked over and showed them his work permit in the museum. The bodyguard also walked up and made a gesture. The two moved away, the glass door opened, and the group walked in.
Until he got on the elevator, Batman was still a little confused.
This process makes him a little indescribable. If you have to evaluate it, it will be about two words - professional.
The whole process is very serious and solemn, as if each process has been drilled thousands of times. Wonder Woman doesn't even look like a heroine, but a bit like that kind of professional agent.
But when Batman thought that the object of their joint was Lex Luthor, he felt his hair stand upside down.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened. Diana took them to the depths of the corridor. As soon as the office door opened, a figure stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The red-haired figure in front of him turned around. Batman and Superman were both shocked by Lex's young face.
"God, why did I forget? Everyone in this universe is very young." Batman rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"Welcome." Lex said to them, "I won't say anything polite. I have also obtained some information about you from the fighting world. It may not be all right, but at least I have a basic understanding. But you don't know much about us."
"To facilitate the next cooperation, I can answer your questions. Of course, you can also wait until the Justice League members gathered before asking them. But I believe that by that time, they may not have much time to answer you."
Superman and Batman thought of the other pair they had encountered before. Those two were obviously quite dangerous and troublesome, and would never cooperate with them. After the Justice League members came, they would probably have to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise when Zod came, they would be attacked from both sides.
Just as Superman was about to say something, Batman reached out to stop him, looked at Lex and said, "How much power can you gather to come to the Metropolis before the enemy arrives?"
"What are the power you mean? Superheroes?" Lex walked to his desk and sat down, and said, "We don't have many people. Many superheroes you know have not made their debut here, or even disappeared. For example, Cyborg and Mars Hunter, they did not join the Justice League."
"Where are the Robins?"
"They are not here and can't come back in a short time."
"So what are you going to deal with Zod? I must remind you that Zod cannot come alone. Either he will have an army of robots, or he will also go to other parts of the universe to find some helpers." Superman stepped forward and said.
"If you don't have enough middle-level forces, even if you can fight him over the metropolis, the aftermath will definitely endanger ordinary people. I hope you can make arrangements for this. Or I can help you," he continued.
"You don't have to worry about this." Lex picked up the cup and drank water, pressing the button on the armrest with his other hand.
In an instant, the office changed. The metal walls were like vines growing from the soil, completely covering the floor-to-ceiling windows. The chandelier was retracted from the gap in the ceiling and replaced by a huge display center with eight-screen screens.
The desks were also all sunk underground. One after another, the equipment was replaced, and the buttons on the operating panel were as numerous as stars. The holographic display that lighted up formed a cloudless night in the metropolis.
Batman looked up. All the data on the screen poured into his brain, making him feel a sense of coldness and shock that jumped up from his spine. It was not just bytes, but nearly ten million residents of the metropolis.
When he turned his head, Lex just stood up from his chair, and the cup hit the tabletop and made a slight sound.
