Chapter 3010: Mercury Record (VII)
The day of departure for Mercury was cloudless. Fortunately, as the days passed, the scorching summer finally ended. After entering autumn, the temperature dropped slightly, and more importantly, there was wind, so the perceived temperature was no longer so hot.
This should be Cat Getan's last scorching summer, because with the joint efforts of Pamela and the municipal government staff, they planted a lot of greenery in the rooftops, balconies, or open spaces of public facilities of various buildings. Each one grew very well, the urban heat island effect problem was solved, and the next summer would be much cooler.
Since there were quite a few people going to Mercury this time, they were divided into two departure points, which were Cat Getan and Metropolis. Wei En, Bruce, and Wonder Woman organized the people at the Cat Getan departure point together, while the remaining Justice League members were responsible for the Metropolis side.
Wei En came early in the morning, sitting in a coffee shop by the Cat Getan River drinking coffee. The Flash, Barry, went to Wei En's place a night early, and the two of them came together. Wei En was revising Barry's thesis, and the two discussed the details of the thesis.
After drinking half a cup of coffee, Wei En looked up from the computer and said, "I think it's about enough. You do the final check within a week. Be sure to ensure that the symbols and separator formats have no errors. I'll go say hello to the editor-in-chief..."
Just at this moment, a youthful and beautiful figure pushed open the door. Barry waved to that side. Dick and Raven were standing at the ordering counter, also waving to him.
Soon the two of them took coffee and sat over. Raven took a big sip of iced coffee and said a bit embarrassedly, "I said I wanted to come by myself, he insisted on coming with me..."
Wei En pushed his glasses, looked at Dick, and asked, "Are you not going this time?"
"No, I'm in the next batch. I have to go back to Blüdhaven. Tim plans to build a factory there, I have to go over and watch..."
"Regarding the cultivation of plants for Alzheimer's disease special medicine?"
"Yes, the natural environment there is very suitable, and the residents are also very welcoming. However, there are too many items that need to be confirmed, so I will probably go over two months late."
"What about Jason?"
"He's not going either. His focus is on the Battleworld. There must be someone to explore there."
Dick soon took Raven to the table next door. The two were lovey-dovey for a long time. Breakfast time was almost over when a mist rose on the Cat Getan River. The students of the Magic Academy arrived.
They were not wearing academy uniforms but had changed into casual clothes, chattering and pouring into several nearby coffee shops and breakfast shops. And looking at the expression of the shop owner here, one knew they must not have come out to buy things secretly less often.
This street basically sells food and gifts, so it can be called Cat Getan's Hogsmeade. And if you want to talk about Diagon Alley, that still has to be a small town upstream of the Cat Getan River.
In order to prevent the coming and going mages from disturbing the ordinary people's world, the exit of the Inner World was opened upstream of the Cat Getan River, which is the northwest direction of Cat Getan, close to the Canadian border line.
That place originally had nothing, only a few abandoned factories, but more and more mages built houses there, gradually forming a small town. Most of the people living there also deal with magic, and it is also the place where students of the Cat Getan Magic Academy go most often.
This small town accepts and welcomes mages, but after all, it is relatively remote and barren. If you want to talk about fun, of course, it still has to be inside Cat Getan City. But without the permission of the professors in the school, students of the Magic Academy are not allowed to enter Cat Getan.
So this time, being able to come to the city to play openly, they were all very happy. Wonder Woman shouted for assembly several times by the river, and there were still several people lingering in the gift shop.
Wei En looked at his watch, felt the time was about right, so he got up with Barry and got on the last bus with several students from the Rodriguez Academy.
The portal was in the basement of Wayne Enterprises. They needed to take a bus to Wayne Tower first, and after passing the security check, they could go to Mercury through the portal.
The security check before entering the Mercury base was very strict. Any dangerous items could not be brought in. Even Wei En's umbrella could not be brought because the Life Equation on the umbrella surface was an uncertain dangerous factor, so Wei En only took an ordinary black umbrella.
The security personnel really found quite a few contraband items on the students, but most of them were some small magic props used for convenience, cleaning rooms, or fetching water. But because there were abnormal energy fluctuations, they could not be brought at all.
When Barry passed the security check, he was a large abnormal energy fluctuation, and the machine's alarm almost broke its voice. Of course, he was finally let through.
Bruce and Wonder Woman did not enter the security check because they still had to go back to pick up the Amazonian female warriors. The people from Themyscira also gathered in Cat Getan.
Not long after, amidst the curious gazes of the Magic Academy students, chattering sounds appeared outside the door.
But different from what they expected, the people walking in were not strong women wearing primitive tribal costumes, but young girls who were about the same as the female students, wearing modern clothes and youthful and lively.
In fact, Themyscira's tourism industry is very famous, and in recent years, under Diana's management, Themyscira has also become a world-renowned sports equipment and clothing brand.
To make the Themyscira brand bigger and stronger, naturally, good employees are indispensable. Hiring people from outside is not impossible, but of course, you also have to cultivate your own business talents. So many young Amazonian women came to human society to study and entered family businesses to work step by step after graduation.
Because of the blood inheritance relationship, their physical fitness is much better than humans, and their lifespan is also longer than humans. A training professional lifespan lasts for hundreds of years, and because it is a family dividend model, work enthusiasm is also high enough, making them rare good employees.
This batch of people participated in the Mercury project this time. Although the female warriors who have been training in the tribe are stronger, if they want to engage in agent-type work in human society, then young women who have lived in human society for a long time are certainly better.
After the two sides met, they soon started chatting chattering. The bold and unrestrained personality of the Themyscira clan is inherited, which is very likable, and the girls soon won everyone's favor.
After the final security check and preparation work were completed, the portal opened. Bruce stood at the front of the team, Diana brought up the rear, the security personnel emphasized the space work rules for the last time, and then they lined up to enter the portal in an orderly manner.
Wei En was in the middle of the team. When crossing the portal, he only felt a flash before his eyes, and then the texture of the floor under his feet changed.
It has to be said that the portal technology on the DC side is more advanced, much more comfortable than the portal of the Marvel mages that just needs not to die. There was no obvious feeling when passing through, and no dizziness or nausea, which greatly facilitated the use of various groups of people.
After adapting to the light in front of him, Wei En looked at the lobby. This was obviously a reception lobby specially built. The lobby was octagonal, and each side had a portal. However, only two were lit at this time, corresponding to the two entrances and exits of Cat Getan and Metropolis. But perhaps in the future, portals should also be built in Atlantis, Amazon, etc.
The Cat Getan side came faster. The people from the other portal hadn't entered yet. Bruce was originally organizing the people here to line up to go to the living area, but soon received a call from Clark. The reception work on their side had some problems and needed help.
So Bruce and Diana both left. Wei En was responsible for maintaining order here, but actually, he didn't need to maintain much. He was also famous in the Magic Academy. The students of the Magic Academy were all a bit afraid of him, so they were very quiet.
However, the ladies from Themyscira were very curious. They didn't understand why this professor who looked gentle and refined could make the originally lively students quiet down. Soon, several bold and curious girls gathered around.
"Alright, ladies, be quiet, stand back." Wei En wanted to let them step back a bit, but this group of bold Amazonian women never understood what it meant to retreat, always crowding in front of Wei En, asking while crowding.
"Professor, why are your pupils vertical? Do you have atavistic bloodline?"
"Professor, which country are you from? Are you mixed-race? What subjects do you teach?"
"Professor, do you have MSN? Or can you leave your email to me?"
Wei En was dizzy from their noise. Fortunately, the group from Metropolis arrived back in time, but obviously, things were not going very smoothly on their side. From far away, one could hear Arthur's loud voice scolding people.
"I have emphasized to you several days in advance, legs! Change into legs! You just insist on jumping with that fish tail! Do you still need me to prepare an aquarium for you?!"
"Alright, Arthur, they didn't do it on purpose, don't be angry. Isn't it already done? It didn't delay anything..."
Clark and Arthur walked out of the portal one after another, followed by a group of Atlanteans, then Oliver and a group of Mexican guys, and finally Bruce and Diana.
As soon as Oliver saw Wei En, he came up and gave him a hug. From Oliver's mouth, Wei En learned what kind of mess happened on the Metropolis side.
The young fighters of the Mexican Revolutionary Army and the Atlanteans all gathered in Metropolis. The former had no problems. With the help of the Luthor Group, they successfully entered the country, but the latter's trouble was big.
Although the Atlanteans call themselves the Sea Clan, they are actually ancient humans who sank into the sea and are descendants of gods. Although they can live in the sea, they still have four limbs like humans, so logically speaking, they shouldn't be unadapted to land.
But there are indigenous people in the sea. For example, Xebel, where Mera is, lives with mermen, snake people, clam demons, etc., the real Sea Clan. Many Atlantean residents intermarried with them and gave birth to many divine blood sea descendants.
Mixed-race species are somewhat like mutants in human society. Certain bloodline combinations make them very powerful. This time, Arthur specifically selected all these powerful mixed-race species, wanting them to receive the best training on Mercury.
However, some of these mixed-race forms are different. Because they have lived on the seabed too comfortably for a long time, they are disorganized and undisciplined. They were notified in advance to change into human form, but they didn't take it seriously, leading to a mess when they went ashore. A bunch of people fell crookedly, and they also scared the young fighters of the Mexican Revolutionary Army.
Although it was their lack of preparation, their mouths were still hard. Facing the future Sea King, they didn't dare to say anything, but facing the Revolutionary Army fighters, they were chattering. The two sides didn't agree with each other, and Clark didn't watch them, so they started fighting.
Fortunately, Bruce and Diana arrived in time to resolve this conflict, so they were able to pass through the portal safely. ===== CHAPTER 3011 =====
