Chapter 405: Epic Enhancement of the Batman Team



As soon as they flew out, Diana quickly stopped Steve with her, so they didn't hit the wall of the living room.

But this instantaneous change from extreme movement to extreme still created a gust of wind in the living room, blowing the hair of everyone sitting on the sofa into the air.

But the strange thing is that the only things affected seem to be the hair and clothes of the people.

The various objects placed in the living room, on the contrary, remained motionless in their places, not affected by the strong wind at all.

Such a strange scene should have surprised everyone.

But among everyone in the living room at this moment, only Batman noticed this detail.

Everyone else was immersed in their own emotions.

“Dad, Mom!”

Leta cheered and immediately jumped off the sofa, throwing herself into Steve's arms while he looked at her in confusion.

Diana released her arms that were around Steve's waist and stared blankly at Lin Zhongtian, who was smiling on the sofa.

"……teacher?"

A slightly uncertain voice was heard, and a smile appeared on Lin Zhongtian's face.

"Long time no see, Diana."

"Teacher, it's really you, you're back?!"

Diana's face was full of surprise. She couldn't help but walk forward quickly and hugged Lin Zhongtian tightly on the sofa.

Lin Zhongtian patted her back with a smile and said softly: "Okay, you are parents now, calm down, the child is still here!"

Diana let go of Lin Zhongtian somewhat embarrassedly, and then hugged Donna beside her with a smile on her face.

At this time, Steve finally came back to his senses from the sudden change of environment, and looking at Lin Zhongtian on the sofa, he suddenly realized.

"I was wondering why you got home so suddenly. It turned out to be you..."

Like Diana, Steve's face showed genuine joy.

But compared to Diana, who treated Lin Zhongtian as a close elder, Steve had more respect and awe for Lin Zhongtian.

Looking at Lin Zhongtian's young face that was exactly the same as it was eighty or ninety years ago, a complicated look flashed in Steve's eyes.

Time cannot leave any traces on a god, but it will bring irreversible changes to him.

He is obviously much older now than he was back then, and judging from his appearance, he is around 40 to 45 years old.

Naturally, the skills that Lin Zhongtian taught him did not have such a remarkable anti-aging effect.

So he guessed that Steve was most likely also using the so-called Lazarus Pool.

There is no other way. Humans, a short-lived species, must take some special measures if they want to stay with a demigod like Diana.

Fortunately, this is the DC world, with all kinds of rare treasures appearing one after another. Otherwise, with Diana's personality, she might have used some abnormal means to prolong Steve's life.

At this moment, Diana came over holding Donna's hand and said with a smile:

"Teacher, let me introduce her to you. She was the one who..."

"I know."

Lin Zhongtian interrupted Diana with a smile.

Donna also pulled her mother's hand and whispered a few explanations in her ear.

Diana suddenly realized, and immediately turned to look at Bruce who was sitting quietly on the sofa, watching everything coldly.

"We already know about the aliens. What are you going to do?"

"I plan to form a team and make preparations for both scenarios..."

Bruce looked calm and repeated his thoughts again.

As Donna's adoptive parents, Diana and Steve also know Batman's true identity.

Hearing Bruce's words, Diana and Steve looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "We can join your team."

"So can I!"

Leta raised her hand in excitement.

Steve twitched the corner of his mouth, put down her raised hand with a frown on his face, and then winked at Donna.

Donna understood and immediately walked forward, ignoring little Leta's resistance and took her back to her room.

The troublesome little brat finally left, and everyone in the living room could finally discuss the alien arrival seriously.

Diana groaned and said, "Since we have to prepare for both scenarios, we must also find the aliens hiding on Earth."

At this point, Diana turned to look at Lin Zhongtian: "Teacher, do you know where he is?"

Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian just smiled slightly and said two key words.

"Louise Lane, Kansas."

“…”

Bruce had a thoughtful look on his face.

He immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Alfred, the butler of the Batcave.

When the call was connected, Bruce said straight to the point without any nonsense: "Check Lois Lane and Kansas."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Not long after, Alfred's voice sounded again.

"Louise Lane, female, American nationality, born in Wiesbaden, Germany, 27 years old, 170cm tall, 115 pounds, unmarried, currently a reporter for the Daily Planet."

"A year ago, Lois Lane and self-media worker Wood Burn published an article about aliens on the latter's website, which described the story of an alien living in seclusion on Earth."

"But soon after, the Daily Planet held Lois Lane accountable and severely criticized her for publishing the report privately through the Internet, and suspended her for two weeks."

"Louise Lane has not mentioned this matter since then, and the article was quickly removed and disappeared."

"It is reported that between the time the online report was published and the time it was removed from the internet, Lois Lane traveled around the country, and her last stop was in Kansas, in the very center of the continental United States."

Hearing Alfredo's words, Bruce tapped his fingers on the table, a thoughtful look on his face.

"So, the alien is hiding in Kansas?"

Diana said in a deep voice: "Do you need me to find this Louise Lane?"

"I'm afraid not, Mrs. Trevor." Alfred's voice with a hint of regret came from the phone, "I retrieved this file from the database of the Ministry of Defense. They have already asked Louise Lane to leave, and are now hiding her in a secret military base outside Washington..."

"Then grab it!"

Diana said calmly.

Steve looked helpless: "Let me talk to the general in charge."

Diana shook her head. "If it were before, I would not interfere in your dirty politics, but now it is about the survival of the earth. I will never give the final decision-making power to these idiots who can only do harm, as I did decades ago during the Second World War!"

Steve asked back, "If we don't give it to them, then who should we give it to? Is it you or me?"

Diana didn't say anything, but turned to look at Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian laughed, shook his head, and turned his gaze to Bruce.

He was not interested in Diana's proposal. Instead of letting him, an outsider, interfere, it would be better to give the decision-making power directly to Batman.

He was also very curious about what Batman, the mortal who was originally powerless in the plot of "Man of Steel", could do after he had the help of Wonder Woman's family and even himself.

Facing Lin Zhongtian's slightly smiling gaze, Bruce was slightly startled, and then his expression became thoughtful.

Military District of Washington.

Camouflage-painted tanks drove out of the military camp and lined up in a row on the open space in front of the gate. The thick gun barrels were raised high under the control of the soldiers and aimed at the floating red and blue figure in the sky.

Clark Kent floated in the air with a calm expression, wearing a red and blue tight combat suit with a chain mail-like pattern on the surface, which glowed with metallic luster under the sunlight.

On his chest was the family crest of the El family, shaped like the letter "S".

The bright red cape behind her fluttered in the warm midday breeze.

After talking with the priest, Clark finally made the decision to stand on the same side as the Earth.

That was why he came to the military base, ready to have a good exchange with the human top brass.

Soon, two camouflaged armored vehicles slowly drove out from the group of tanks.

Clark raised his eyebrows and slowly descended under the vigilant and nervous gazes of all the soldiers.

It's no wonder that the army and soldiers were on high alert. It's just that Clark's appearance was too cool. After all, in human's consistent cognition, only gods, and the most powerful gods, can break through the constraints of gravity.

This can be seen from the status of the sky god in myths around the world.

Therefore, when Clark slowly fell from the sky, without any words, everyone understood that the man in the red cloak floating in the air was the alien mentioned by General Zod.

Soon, the armored vehicle stopped at the front of the tank group.

The general, wearing an army uniform and with three rows of medals on his chest, walked out of the armored vehicle and looked at Clark in the red and blue uniform in the sky with a solemn and shocked expression.

After coming to his senses, the general frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

"Tell me, Mr. Alien, what do you want to do?"

"I want to talk to Lois Lane..."

Clark said calmly.

The general immediately frowned and asked, "Who told you she was here?"

Clark shook his head: "I advise you not to waste time, General, I will surrender, but the premise is that you must guarantee the freedom and personal safety of Lois Lane."

“…”

The general frowned and looked at the senior officials around him.

A minute later, Clark, with his hands handcuffed, entered the barracks under the escort of a whole team of heavy firepower special forces, and soon arrived at the prison cell where Lois Lane was imprisoned.

Looking at Clark opposite her, Lois Lane couldn't help but reveal a helpless and slightly apologetic smile.

Before Louise could speak, Clark smiled and said, "Don't blame yourself. I surrendered on my own initiative."

Louise shook her head: "You shouldn't have surrendered. General Zod is not trustworthy."

Clark smiled slightly and said softly: "I know, so I am not surrendering to Zod, but surrendering to humans. There is a big difference between the two..."
