Chapter 174 Chapter 174 Don’t drink and drive, don’t drive after drinking…
Bruce acted quickly and called Martian Manhunter within five minutes of Jason leaving the manor.
Martian Manhunter was faster, and Jason ran into him just as he arrived at the door of Bludhaven Apartments.
Even though he had already heard the whole story from Bruce, Ron still couldn't believe it when Benjamin placed the basketball-sized metal sphere in his arms: "The Martians...are really back?"
That thing was so small, so small that Ron could hold it without opening his arms. It was hard to imagine that it held all the hopes of an entire race.
"Not yet, to be exact. But once you clone the gene pool in here, you can," Li Hua said. "But Rong, what's in here is only the gene pool of the race and the equation of life. So... those who have passed away cannot return."
"It's okay, that's enough..."
The green-skinned Martians shed their simulated appearance, and the orphans of Mars leaned down and pressed their chests against their future tribesmen, and crystal tears fell on the fire of civilization that had been extinguished and then rekindled.
Before today, he had never thought that the Martian people would return one day, nor had he ever thought that he would be able to return to the hometown in his memories one day. What else could he ask for at this moment?
Ron wiped the tears from his eyes, carefully cradling the tiny, egg-like information storage device in his arms. He stood up and gave Li Hua and Benjamin a salute that no one else knew except him.
"Thank you. Mars will never forget your contribution."
Li Hua: "Um... We don't have cloning technology here, but this universe must have technology related to genetic cloning, right? If not, maybe you can go to Luther and have a look."
Ron: "Yes."
That’s too many. After being a superhero for so many years, who hasn’t encountered a few biological weapons?
Even on Earth, this technology exists. As Li Hua said, Luther even managed to have a child across species and genders.
Compared with these, cloning technology without modification is simply child's play.
An ecstatic Ron left with the information storage device. Jason then jumped up from the sofa and said, "Where's the spaceship? Let me see our spaceship!"
Li Hua: "Does this base look like it could hold a spaceship? It's currently in the wilderness somewhere in the western United States."
"Of course I know, but didn't you even take any photos or videos?" Jason rubbed his hands excitedly. "Hurry up and bring it out so I can satisfy my craving. And bring me the spacecraft manual too, otherwise how am I supposed to fly it?"
"It's okay, Jason. You don't need an instruction manual to fly a spaceship. I didn't need one," Li Hua said. "Ben said that if you can ride a bicycle, you can ride a spaceship. I can ride a bicycle without knowing how to ride one, so you can definitely ride one too."
Jason was stunned for a moment.
Are you two so reckless? You didn't even read the manual before flying a spaceship?
Benjamin: "Don't worry, with the two of us watching, there's no way you'll crash the spaceship. Even if it does crash, I can turn into a Kryptonian and catch it."
"Cool!" Jason whistled. "So when are we going to fly the spaceship? Tomorrow?"
"Why wait until tomorrow? We don't have to get up early for school tomorrow anyway, so we'll take you there today!" Li Hua said, "Ben and I haven't eaten yet, so let's go to the space station to eat. We can also pick out a spacesuit and a space language translator for you. Based on our experience, we'll still be back in time for the night patrol."
"So what are you waiting for?" Jason put on the red hood with a snap. "Let's go!"
.......
Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern in Coast City on Earth, was solving a crime when he heard the sound of a communicator.
Hal waved and smiled at the police, then turned into a green light and flew up into the sky. He made a communication through the clouds: "Hello, this is Green Lantern, how can I help you?"
"This is Batman." The voice of an old comrade came, "Did you meet Ben 10 and the Magic Boy on the space station on Friday?"
"Yes, those two kids are quite hospitable and very capable," Hal said. "You know, when I met them, they had already made their first fortune by reselling leftover Martian scrap. They even bought two spacesuits and opened a universal bank card."
He also settled Green Lantern's bill in a lightning-fast manner and forced Green Lantern to treat him to a meal.
It was so abominable that Hal decided that next time he met these two kids, he would definitely invite them back.
Hal: "Oh, Bat, don't tell me you're angry. The younger generation is so promising, and we, as mentors and seniors, should be happy."
Batman: "You don't understand. Their...creative abilities and actions far exceed our capabilities. They could turn Mars into a living hell in three days."
"It seems like you've been really exhausted taking care of the kids lately. Your sense of humor has even gotten the better of you!"
Hal was laughing so hard in the clouds, and when he had almost finished laughing, he heard Batman say.
"I just got off the phone with Martian Manhunter."
"So they actually built a spaceship?"
Hal marveled in his heart at the two kids' terrifying imagination and ability to act, but when he thought that Benjamin was a colleague from his own interstellar peacekeeping organization in another world, he didn't think it was so strange.
"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't be so serious, right, buddy? Mars is deserted, so it wouldn't be a big deal for kids to go there for fun. Besides, when I met them, they had already bought standard spacesuits, so they were very safety-conscious."
"It's not what you think."
Batman sighed on the other end of the line.
"On Thursday, Ron went to see Benjamin, hoping to have his DNA recorded in the Omnitrix, leaving proof of the Martians' existence. Today, Benjamin and Li Hua used the Omnitrix to rebuild the Martian gene pool and decipher the Martian life equation. I just called Ron to talk about this."
"So do you understand? When I say 'revitalize' Mars, I don't mean they went to Mars to revitalize it, but rather that they actually revitalized Mars."
Hal:
If he understood correctly, the "Thursday" and "today" Batman mentioned here refer to the Earth time zone, right?
Doesn't that mean Benjamin and Li Hua did so much in just 72 hours?!
Although it is good to be young and promising, this is too promising!!
Even Hal Jordan, a bright and articulate man, didn't know how to evaluate today's youth. He racked his brains and came up with only one sentence: "Ron will be so happy."
Batman said "hmm" and said nothing more.
Martian Manhunter Ron is their comrade and friend who has fought side by side with them for many years, regardless of life or death.
They knew Ron's inner longing and grief for not being able to return to his hometown, and they also knew how important this matter was to Ron.
They knew that the Omnitrix was an ark of life that stored genes, but like Benjamin and Li Hua at the beginning, they did not know that the Omnitrix actually only needed a piece of DNA from this species to trace the genetic sequence, crack the code of life in a few seconds, and thus revive the entire race.
Otherwise, Ron wouldn't have waited so long before visiting. He would have rushed to Bludhaven and knocked on the door long ago.
"I'm calling you just to ask a favor. If you meet Benjamin, Li Hua, and Jason on the space station next time, ask them what they're doing and tell me." Batman sighed. "I can't predict their movements now. If something happens to them one day, I might not be able to get there in time."
Hal: "I'll keep an eye on it for you, buddy."
We really need to pay attention to this, as its ability to cause trouble is truly terrifying.
"Want to come over for a drink tonight?" Hal said. "Just to celebrate the resurrection of the Martians?"
Batman: "Let's do it some other time. I have to go on patrol tonight. I can call Ron along then."
Hal said understandingly, "I understand, I understand. After all, you have a son now. Speaking of which, how are you getting along with your new son? I heard he's quite difficult."
"Batman end call."
It seems that they don't get along very well.
Hal put away the communicator and sighed that this world was horrible because his comrades and colleagues in other worlds had been bereaved for three consecutive days.
I hope this "honor" will not fall on him. Hal Jordan does not want to suddenly take on the responsibilities of a father without any preparation.
It is even worse if you love being a mother like Benjamin.
Hal stretched out in the clouds. After talking about so many things in the universe, he decided to go to the space station for a drink.
The happiness of adults is sometimes very simple, sometimes it is a glass of iced soda when you get home from get off work, and sometimes it is a drink after a busy day at work.
But running into a coworker's kid sneaking into the bar while you're having a drink definitely doesn't fall into that category.
This guy who comes in and orders takeout drinks with a red hood on his head must be Batman's kid!
Jason obviously noticed Green Lantern Hal sitting at the bar...it was impossible not to notice, he was glowing green!
Hold!
Jason cursed inwardly.
This is really Green Lantern!
Li Hua and Benjamin came here to eat before and met Green Lantern Hal by chance. How come he just walked into a tavern and planned to buy a bottle of alien wine, and by the way, experience the newly bought space translator, or did he meet Green Lantern Hal by chance?
Is Green Lantern Hal some kind of NPC that respawns in a fixed scene?!
Hal was very sure that the child had discovered him, but he neither exposed nor stopped him. He just silently used the energy of the green light to take out the mobile phone in his pocket and secretly took a photo of the boy, attached the Earth time when the photo was taken, and set a picture text message that would automatically be sent to Batman after returning to the Earth network environment.
[【Image】Tavern, your son is easier to date than you are.]
The boy wearing a red hood took his takeaway and walked away. Hal drank the wine in his glass and rushed forward.
Don’t drive a boat after drinking, and don’t drive a boat after drinking, young man!

The author has something to say: Bruce who received the message said: ...Jason, how come you ended up in the sky without me noticing?
