“Clatter…”

Clark pushed away the concrete block that was pressing on him and stood up with a grim look on his face.

Diana put away the Lasso of Truth, smiled and said, "Am I qualified to help you deal with Zod now?"

“…”

Clark's cheek muscles twitched slightly.

He glanced at the extremely nervous human soldiers around him and whispered, "I don't want to fight you, and I don't want to fight here..."

"Neither do I." Diana nodded, "So, we'd better talk about it first."

Clark shook his head and said, "There is nothing to talk about. I have decided to surrender to Zod."

Diana frowned and said, "Zod is not trustworthy."

"That's something I'll have to wait until I've seen it..."

After saying that, Clark turned to look at the general who was in doubt and said softly: "General, please do what you should do!"

The General and Dr. Hamilton looked at each other.

After a slight hesitation, the general ordered: "Doctor, contact the alien spacecraft and tell them that we have found their people."

After saying that, the general turned to look at Wonder Woman and said, "Also, Wonder Woman, that man outside should be your husband, Mr. Fantastic. Tell him to stop attacking my army. With such a powerful enemy at hand, there is no need for the Earth to waste its energy internally."

"Do as he says."

Batman's voice came from the headset.

Diana frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and called Steve outside.

Soon, Steve, wearing a golden and red armor, walked in, his eyes moving successively over Diana, the general, Clark, and Lois Lane in the prison room.

"What on earth is going on?"

Steve leaned over and whispered in Diana's ear.

Diana sighed and told Steve about Clark's identity and his decision.

After hearing this, Steve felt relieved. He didn't want to stand against the military in the first place.

Since Clark himself decided to surrender to humans and Zod, Steve, as a former Air Force Major General, naturally welcomed it.

…

…

Soon, the Kryptonian ship that had already stopped in the Earth's satellite orbit received the message.

A black beetle-like spaceship flew out and landed outside the military zone.

"laugh--"

As the hatch at the rear of the spacecraft slowly opened, two dark shadows emerged from it.

Here it comes!

The first official contact between Earth and aliens is finally coming!

Seeing two figures, one big and one small, walking out of the hatch, the general and the modern troops behind him became nervous.

Diana and Steve were invited by the general to stand beside him, and they also looked at the two uninvited guests with serious expressions.

Compared with them, Lin Zhongtian in the invisible bat fighter seemed particularly relaxed.

He was looking at the two Kryptonians, one big and one small, with great interest.

The smaller one was about 1.7 meters tall and slim. He was wearing standard black high-tech armor and a black cloak behind him. Through the hideous black visor that looked like a skull, one could see a beautiful and heroic female face.

There is no doubt that this person is Zod's second-in-command, Fiora Earl.

But compared to this famous female Kryptonian, Lin Zhongtian was more concerned about the big guy behind him.

The man was about two meters and two meters tall, with a strong build and muscular body. He was wearing the same black armor as the Kryptonian lieutenant. His deep blue eyes were fixed on the Superman in the classic red and blue colors in front of him.

"It turned out to be that little extra soldier!"

A smile appeared on Lin Zhongtian's face.

He thought this fellow villager was dressed as Zod!

Under the gaze of people from all sides, Fiora and Danas walked up to Clark slowly.

Looking at Clark with a calm expression, the black mask on Fiora's face quickly faded away, revealing her heroic face.

She looked Clark up and down, pausing for a moment to focus on the S-shaped family crest on his chest.

After confirming Kal-El's identity, Fiora nodded and said, "Kal-El, I am Fiorara Earl, the deputy commander of the Kryptonian fleet. I send my regards to you on behalf of General Zod."

“…”

Clark frowned slightly and nodded, not responding according to Kryptonian etiquette.

Fiora didn't care. She knew that Clark was a Kryptonian who grew up in a primitive civilization like Earth and didn't understand the etiquette and culture of Krypton.

Being rude is not something unforgivable.

At the same time, Danas had already turned his eyes away from Clark and looked at Diana and Steve behind him with surprise.

...What's going on?

Why is Wonder Woman here too?

Was she involved in this plot in the movie?

Also, who is that guy next to him who looks like Bubble Gum Superman?

Danas was full of doubts.

But out of confidence in his own abilities, Danas did not delve too deeply into it.

After all, in his eyes, a superhero like Wonder Woman is definitely not his opponent.

At this moment, Fiora took another step, walked around Clark, and came straight to Diana and Steve. She ignored the generals and the huge group of tanks behind them, pointed at Lois Lane in the crowd and spoke calmly.

"That woman is coming with us too."

“…”

Louise and the generals and soldiers around her were all stunned.

Steve frowned: "You only said you wanted your own people, but you didn't say you wanted our people too."

Fiora said coldly, "Are you going to disobey General Zod's orders?"

"I don't care what his orders are!"

Diana sneered, took a step forward and stood in front of Fiora, her whole body emitting a strong golden light.

"If you want to take Louise away, you must get past me first!"

"……oh?"

Fiora raised an eyebrow and looked at Diana, who was emitting a powerful aura, with interest.

Danas widened his eyes and looked at the golden light on Diana in surprise.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that the golden light seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere in his previous life...

Before he could think about it, Fiora's mouth suddenly curled up, revealing an ambiguous smile.

"Very good, strong one of the earth."

"I will convey your words truthfully to General Zod."

After saying that, Fiora turned around and strode towards the black beetle spaceship.

"Danas, take Kal-El!"

“…”

Danas came back to his senses, looked at Diana with a slightly strange look, and then put his hand on Clark's shoulder.

"Come on, Clark, General Zod wants to see you."

...Clark?

Hearing the Kryptonian soldier next to him address him, Clark was stunned and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.

Danas smiled slightly, without any explanation, he just lowered his arm and motioned Clark to go forward by himself.

For some things, just a little hint will be enough, there is no need to reveal your heart right now.

Although he has decided to stand on the side of the Earth, before he really expresses his position, he needs to make Superman understand Zod's true intentions.

Only in this way can he be stimulated to go all out.

After living on Earth for decades, Superman's strength has actually surpassed that of all Kryptonians long ago, but he has always been cautious, and he also used psychological suggestion to suppress the power in his body, which is why he was constantly suppressed by Kryptonian soldiers in the initial battle.

It wasn't until the battle with Zod that he was finally provoked into using all his strength, not only suppressing Zod but also breaking his neck.

With this thought in mind, Danas, with ulterior motives, walked into the Krypton spaceship with Clark.

Looking at the Kryptonian spaceship disappearing into the horizon, Diana regained her composure and whispered, "Bruce, I have already placed a bug on Clark as you asked, but their technology is likely far superior to ours. Are you sure the bug won't be discovered?"

Steve couldn't help but ask, "Even if we won't be discovered, it will be hard for the signal to get through, right?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as some people don't brag, these problems won't be a problem..."

On the Batplane, Bruce explained in a deep voice while glancing at Lin Zhongtian who was sitting in the co-pilot seat.

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the tricks I have done cannot be discovered by technology alone."

…

Ten minutes later, Diana and Steve arrived at the Batcave in Washington.

Looking at the high-tech devices around him that were exactly the same as the Batcave in Gotham City, Steve couldn't help but complain.

"Bruce, tell me the truth, how many Batcave do you have?"

“…”

Bruce sat at the console and glanced at Steve without answering.

Lin Zhongtian smiled, waved his hand, and a silver light flashed, connecting to the eavesdropping device on Clark.

Everyone quieted down and began to listen to what was happening on the Kryptonian spaceship.

Just like the plot in the movie, in order to convince Clark, Zod began to tell him the history of Krypton.

As mentioned earlier, Krypton's technological development has embarked on an extremely distorted path.

For hundreds of years, Kryptonians have been relying on the central secret codex that records the genes of all Kryptonians to reproduce.

After completing their wedding, every Kryptonian couple will come to the Creation Chamber to provide their DNA to the Secret Codex, and the Secret Codex and the Creation Chamber will incubate and reproduce their offspring.

This approach has greatly increased the efficiency of Krypton society and enabled it to develop efficiently.

But at the same time, it also restricted the freedom of all Kryptonians and made the Kryptonian class as solid as steel.

At the same time, the Central Secret Codex still has a major flaw -

That is, the idea of ​​defending Krypton is engraved into the genes of every newborn.

Because of this, when Krypton was about to be destroyed, a serious conflict arose between the Kryptonians' reason and genes, which in turn formed a major bug that permeated society and even the population.

This is why at the beginning of the movie, when Superman's father Jor-El persuaded the ruling committee members to learn from their ancestors and lead their people to leave Krypton and find a new planet, no ruling committee member was willing to accept this suggestion.

Even though they knew very well that staying on Krypton would lead to their own destruction...

And it's not just them, Superman's parents are like this too.

They knew that Krypton would be destroyed, but they still did not leave with Clark, but chose to live and die with Krypton.

This is a profound concept engraved in their genes, and it is also their eternal shackles and confinement.
