[Chapter 367 The actors are in place]
Clark, who I had seen before, slowly disappeared with Thor, the Transformer Arcee, and David, the Lord of Winter City.
Clarice, Iceman Bobby, and Phantom Cat Katie were still not completely calm.
For example, Iceman Bobby and Phantom Cat Katie began to realize that what Clarice had described to them not long ago did not seem to be exaggerated.
The real situation of this Winter City was even more outrageous than what Clarice had described at the beginning.
“I suddenly started to look forward to it.” Katie took a while and finally regained her composure. She began to feel curious about this city and wondered what new and strange things she could see in this place.
“Me too.”
The same was true for Iceman Bobby. He couldn’t wait to start visiting the city. Then the two of them threw all the questions to Clarice: “Where do we start to visit?”
“This…”
“Let me show you around!” Gwen appeared in front of Clarice at the right time and proposed to show her and her two companions around.
When Clarice came to Winter City, she happened to catch up with Gwen bringing Dr. Otto Octavius to Winter City, and they had a brief tour together.
So Clarice and Gwen knew each other, and as a young woman, Gwen would naturally make people less wary.
In addition, Gwen’s personality and affinity also made it easy for her to gain the favor of strangers, so Bobby and Katie did not object. After introducing themselves to each other, they followed Gwen to visit Winter City…
At the same time, David, Arcee and Thor followed Clark to the DC movie universe.
After the upgrade of the gold finger, David has gained the ability to come to this world freely, but with Clark leading him, he can accurately reach the right place.
Otherwise, he himself does not know where he will “land”.
If it is on Earth, it is okay, but if it is on an alien planet, it will be embarrassing. Here he can’t summon Steve to help him open the portal, and the ability he just got from Blink cannot teleport such a long distance for the time being.
“Where is this?”
“My hometown.”
Clark took the group to his hometown in Kansas. This kind of rural place has always been inconspicuous, and the place is spacious enough to entertain his friends from other worlds.
“Who is this…”
“This is Thor from Asgard, the son of Odin. He came here to help.”
“Clark Kent, just call me Clark. Thank you very much for your enthusiastic help.”
“You’re welcome.”
Clark knew that Thor came to help for David’s sake. In fact, when he met Thor, he already knew Thor’s identity. The
last time he went to the Marvel Universe, he had read the information of the relevant members of the Avengers, but this was the first time the two of them met officially, so he said a few routine polite words.
As for Arcee, Thor, who had lived in Winter City for a while, knew Arcee. Clark knew that Arcee was a Cybertronian, but the two had no contact. They just greeted each other when they met, and then there was no follow-up.
“Well… do you want something to drink?”
“Beer!” Thor didn’t know what politeness was. Clark asked him and answered truthfully.
David said it was up to him, and he didn’t have to drink.
As for Arcee…
“There are gasoline and diesel in the garage.”
“Don’t bother, I have plenty of energy now.”
Since she came to Winter City, she has never worried about energy issues. Whether it is Holy Light or Winter City’s specialty crystal ore, it can keep Cybertronians full of energy.
Now with the development and improvement of various technologies in Winter City, crystal ore is no longer used in various aspects as it was at the beginning. It is simply used as a renewable energy source and special material. In addition, the output has been increasing, which has enabled Cybertronians to completely get rid of the energy crisis and begin to restore and redevelop scientific research that has been stagnant for many years.
In this environment, Arcee does not need to rely on gasoline and diesel to replenish energy.
In addition, due to her physical condition, she gradually doesn’t like to let herself be covered with oil and smell, and prefers to replenish consumption through pure energy without pollution.
Although Arcee said so, Clarke’s mother still brought beer and ice water to greet a few people.
Looking at these friends of her “son” who suddenly appeared, the famous Martha was full of curiosity.
David didn’t mind, and let the other party look at him, while discussing with Clark what to do next?
“General Zod has issued an ultimatum through the public signal of invading the earth: if the earth does not hand me over, an attack will be launched against the earth.”
Clark went to David when General Zod issued the ultimatum. From this moment on, Clark had 24 hours to prepare.
“There is plenty of time. We can even rest for a night and wait until dawn to find trouble with that guy.” David took a sip of ice water and comforted Martha, who was worried, “Don’t worry, General Zod will not cause any harm to your son or this planet.”
“That’s good.” Although she is an adoptive mother, Martha, who raised Clark from childhood to adulthood, sees no difference between this son and her own.
As a mother, she didn’t think that complicated. As long as her son was safe, it would
be fine. Although she didn’t know where these people in front of her came from? Who were they? But as long as they came to help her son, they were good people!
“Should we go directly to Zod?”
“Now?
” “Yes!”
“No.” David shook his head: “If it was before Zod issued an ultimatum and notified all the people on Earth, it would be a good plan to do so, but now your existence has been known to the people on Earth, and the next thing… it would be best if it was also known to the people on Earth. It would be best to
expose Zod’s true thoughts in a global live broadcast, so that Superman can stand on the side of “justice”.
Otherwise, if you just rush up and fight, even if it’s just some scum that falls and smashes some flowers and plants, there will be people who keep jumping out to blame Clark.
In addition, David also wants to expose a fact: the complexity of this world is far beyond the imagination of humans, and then they will find out how happy it is that Superman will stand firmly on the side of humans.
“Wait until tomorrow morning, in front of the world’s human beings, and perform a big show.”
“Although I know you do this for my own good, I’m still a little worried. ”
“Don’t worry, Tony won’t come this time.”
“…”
Clark was speechless, but he felt that what David said made sense.
Clark, who had been together for some time, knew what kind of personality Tony had. If Tony also came, it would be guaranteed that he would make a bigger noise than David, and might even reveal his true identity.
In any case, Clark, who knew what to do next, was not confused at all, and quietly waited for the arrival of the next day.
Then, he would show up in front of the US military as David said, get in touch with General Zod, and ask for a face-to-face negotiation with him.
To do this, the first thing is to lure General Zod out of the spacecraft, and the other is to build a military base in a relatively desolate desert or Gobi area, where fighting will not cause damage to the city, let alone accidentally injuring civilians.
As for how to broadcast the conversation between General Zod and Superman to the world, this task can be left to Arcee.
As a Transformer, she also integrates the abilities of a hermit warrior. Although Arcee cannot easily break through the firewall to steal secret intelligence information like Chaos.
But if it is just to invade the public signal, it is not difficult for her.
As for the perspective…
“Arcee, remember to make me look more handsome tomorrow. ”
“No problem, Your Excellency the Duke.”
Just as David and Arcee were discussing camera positions, lenses, filters, angles, and poses, and Thor drank up the third box of beer that Clark had brought back, the sun finally rose.
For some reason, when the sun came out, Clark had a very strange feeling: he was finally free!
After hugging his mother Martha and telling her not to worry, Clark flew straight to the nearby military base.
David also stood up, raised his hand and made a simple casting gesture. His casual clothes turned into a light messenger suit as a ray of light flowed from his neck to his feet.
In addition to the crown-shaped helmet, he also gave himself an extra large cloak to make himself look more majestic.
In addition, Thor had been wearing his own armor, and his red cloak was equally conspicuous. Martha looked at the two of them and suddenly laughed: “You have a cloak too.”
“Yes! So Clark and I are very good friends! “
David was chatting with Martha, Thor, and Arcee, and was always paying attention to the conversation coming from the ‘earphone’.
Clark had already contacted the US military, and the other party was very ‘restrained’ and had agreed to help Clark talk to General Zod face to face.
Perhaps the US military also wanted to get close to this group of aliens, and there might be some tentative thoughts, but David didn’t care about these.
After confirming that things were developing in the direction of his plan and estimating that the time was almost up, he should set off.
“Are you going with me, or waiting for my signal?”
“Of course I’ll go together.” Thor is not the kind of person who hides in the dark and waits for the right time. He prefers to fight face to face.
In fact, he has restrained himself a lot. According to his previous personality, he would have killed General Zod’s spaceship last night.
The two flew high together. The difference is that David flew with the help of the energy field, while Thor… He still hasn’t gotten rid of his dependence on Mjolnir, and he relies on the hammer to drag him to fly.
“I wonder if fighting with the Kryptonians can stimulate Thor’s potential?”
