Chapter 3457

The Injustice Batman never thought that he would still have hope for the Superman in front of him one day. At least at this moment, he hoped he could take him away.

If asked, it's because he also doesn't really want to see Stalin.

But unfortunately, the Injustice Superman seemed to have been stimulated by something, his mental state was not very good, standing blankly in place, with no reaction. Even when pointed at by a gun, he was still standing there wandering outside the sky.

The Injustice Batman could actually run away, but he felt that if he left the Injustice Superman here, things might develop even more out of control. So he finally decided to stay.

Despite this, the other party's reaction speed and professionalism exceeded his expectations. As soon as the flashlight beam swung over, three groups of people approached him from the front, back, and right rear, with dark gun muzzles aimed at his head.

To prevent the other party from reacting, the Injustice Batman raised his hands. When the other party approached to a distance of about two or three meters, Batman saw a very typical Slavic face. He could now basically determine the identity of this group of people in his heart.

But he determined it a bit too early.

Just when the leader approached to about two meters, Batman saw his finger pull the trigger. He cursed in his heart and immediately lay down, wanting to hide.

But the gunshot didn't come as expected. What shot out from the muzzle was a large purple glowing net, which flew over with a "whoosh," covering both the Injustice Batman and the Injustice Superman in the net.

When the large net touched the Injustice Superman, the Injustice Superman instinctively raised his arm, wanting to resist, but the silk threads woven into the net suddenly lit up, tightly binding the Injustice Superman's upper body. He twisted for a long time, but couldn't successfully break free.

This made the Injustice Batman realize that this thing shouldn't be a technological product—at least it couldn't be a technological product of this era. No material could withstand the pull of tens of tons of force in an instant while being so thin.

Not right, very not right.

While he was thinking, the other party had already rushed over. They bound the two with the same silk threads and sent them to the underground safe house again.

However, this time there was no atmosphere of university dormitory chatting. The people who came were clearly professionals, their English carried a heavy Russian accent, and they didn't seem surprised at all by the arrival of Batman and Superman.

But what also puzzled Batman was that they didn't seem to focus on him. This is not very common at any time. After all, a Bruce Wayne wearing a Batman uniform and a Superman who looks crazy, no matter how you look at it, have many secrets to dig. How could Soviet intelligence personnel not be interested?

Yes, the Injustice Batman had already guessed that this group of people should be the famous KGB.

He hadn't been in this world for long, but he already knew from the internet that the Soviet Union had not disintegrated. But this news was actually not that shocking. After all, he had already learned through the Battleworld that in the endless multiverse, the development of world lines might not be exactly the same. A small butterfly flapping its wings lightly could lead to their completely different situations.

But seeing the KGB in the Luthor Group indeed still gave the Injustice Batman a shock.

Now there are two possibilities: Lex Luthor is pro-communist, or Lex Luthor and Clark Kent are pro-communist together.

But when seeing the familiar figure walking into the safe house, the Injustice Batman still couldn't hold on.

Oliver Queen, Green Arrow, one of the veterans of the Justice League, was currently enthusiastically chatting with the Soviet agent standing at the door in Russian, and calling the other party "comrade."

The Injustice Batman started to suspect whether Lex Luthor had put some drugs that would cause hallucinations into this safe house.

After Oliver walked into the room, the Injustice Batman confirmed that all this was not a hallucination. He spent about half of his brainpower trying to convince himself to accept reality. He did it.

But what made him even more confused was that Oliver's focus was not on him either. He just came over to visit the two of them as if visiting a zoo, and then picked up his phone and started arranging some other work.

After a series of arrangements, he seemed to have just remembered that there were two big living people tied here, walked over to look, and then said to the person next to him: "Let them both go."

The special silk threads binding the two were removed. Oliver nodded at Batman and said very gently: "There might be some misunderstanding here. Treating you with such violent means is not our intention. Originally we could talk, but I have more important work to do now. You can choose to leave here directly, or you can follow me upstairs and wait for me for a while."

The Injustice Batman naturally wanted to leave. He had fully realized the weirdness of this universe, which meant that the development of things might not be as he imagined, so he must prepare early.

But if he left, the Injustice Superman would definitely follow him. The Injustice Superman's state is currently very unstable. Throwing him into the city of Metropolis is no different from throwing a bomb into a crowd. Batman would never make such an irresponsible choice.

Being in the same room with the KGB is not a good choice, but if they can restrain the Injustice Superman, then borrowing their power for the time being is not impossible.

What's more, he was indeed very curious about what kind of weird role this universe's weird Green Arrow played in this universe's weird Justice League.

"My friend has some problems," the Injustice Batman said, "You'd better let him stay here and send someone to watch him. I'll go up with you, I promise I won't add trouble to you."

Oliver glanced at the Injustice Superman. The Injustice Superman almost had the words "absent-minded" written on his face, and it was indeed easy to see that his state was not good.

"Alright. If you can persuade him to stay, I can send someone to help you watch him. But if he wants to leave by himself, we won't stop him."

"No," the Injustice Batman said, "You can't let him enter the city, he might cause destruction."

"Before he causes destruction, we also cannot assume he is a criminal and lock him up. If he is your friend, you should be able to persuade him. I'll wait for you at the door."

After Oliver led people out, only the Injustice Batman and the Injustice Superman were left in the safe house.

Looking at the Injustice Superman's gaze that had been locked on him, the Injustice Batman seriously started to recall the words the Injustice Superman said to him.

Heaven, Lois, it really sounded like crazy talk. But everything they were experiencing now was also like a crazy dream, so perhaps those things also had some credibility and needed to be treated seriously.

"Listen, Clark. I'll just take your current attitude as you feeling regret for what you did in the past. I naturally can't say I have no guilt at all. I believe that if there is a chance to save this, we will both go all out. Right?"

The Injustice Superman stared at him blankly for tens of seconds and nodded slowly.

"Very good. I believe what you said is true, that there really is a heaven in this world. But since you failed to find Lois's figure there, it means this matter is not that simple, and I am now going to find the real way to save all this. Wait for me here, okay?"

The Injustice Superman nodded again.

The Injustice Batman finally felt relieved and turned to walk out of the room to look for Oliver. And what he didn't see was that when he left, the Injustice Superman looked at his back with a complex gaze.

Until today, he is still willing to believe in Batman; until today, Batman is still willing to believe in him. Then, it is also time to think about how the two of them walked to the point of being speechless today.

The Injustice Batman followed Oliver upstairs. It was just dawn at this time. Standing on the high floor of the Luthor Group building and looking at Metropolis in the early morning was a quite novel experience.

It was even more novel to see a group of sleepy, yawning Justice League members.

On the right side of the conference table, Diana fell onto the table and murmured: "Didn't you say you could only come back in the morning? God, I only slept for two hours..."

"I'm different," Arthur, with messy hair, also narrowed his eyes and said, "I just fell asleep for 10 minutes and was woken up by a phone call. Am I really not in a dream now?"

"At least you guys slept," Hal said, "I flew to check the Mercury base, and was almost there when Oliver called me and said he arrived. I had to fly back again."

Clark dragged Bruce in. Bruce sat on the chair, folded his hands, leaned back, and entered his dreams again.

Lex also looked somewhat exhausted when he walked in, and didn't even wear a formal suit, clearly having hurriedly put on a sweatshirt and came.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you would arrive this morning?" He looked at Oliver and asked.

"Originally there were no flights at night, but I bought a ticket after refreshing the webpage for a while. Alright, let's not talk about this. Those who haven't woken up go wash your faces, prepare for the meeting."

Diana went to the bathroom to comb her hair, Clark made coffee for everyone, Lex went outside the door with his phone to arrange work, and Hal was also chatting about something on the Green Lantern Corps communicator. Arthur seized these tens of seconds to catch up on sleep.

You ask about Bruce? Bruce didn't wake up at all, and no one thought of calling him. He slept uncomfortably leaning on the chair, and then slept lying on the table. Diana, who came back, thoughtfully draped a coat over him.

Oliver walked to the table, sat down, and said: "I have already communicated with a few friends preliminarily about the possibility of aliens landing in the United States. That's right, landing. They temporarily don't define this as an invasion..."

Everyone's brains didn't seem to be turning at dawn. Diana looked at Oliver somewhat blankly and asked: "Why?"

Oliver said very patiently: "The landing of an alien spaceship might be seen by global citizens, but the war that happens in Metropolis might not leak out much. The Luthor Group has a way to suppress this matter."

"To avoid causing panic, it would be better to just treat this as an alien spaceship crash accident. They think so too, so the current tentative plan is to unify the caliber and explain it as an unlucky alien accidentally crashing on Earth, without causing any casualties."

"This is the external statement, then what about internally?" Clark said, "Do you really want to let them in? I think solving the battle outside the solar system would be a better method."

"This is probably very difficult to do," Hal said, "If as you speculated, it is a Kryptonian spaceship that is coming, then the extraterrestrial defense system we built is difficult to play a role. Their technology level is too advanced."

"Can't the Green Lantern Corps do it either?"

"Not enough manpower," Hal sighed and said, "Even if Earth is my hometown, I can't be so selfish as to mobilize an entire group army over. That's too conspicuous. And just relying on a few Green Lanterns, there is no way to strictly blockade the solar system."

"Alright, it seems we can only fight on Earth," Clark nodded and said, "Then we only have one task left, which is to formulate a combat plan within Metropolis. Let's start now."
