Chapter 3514: The Study of Cats and Dogs (73)
J'onn's current symptoms can basically be summarized in one sentence—"My reading speed is too fast, and by the time I realized what I was seeing, it was too late."
That's right. This 11-hour-long bad film is the famous "Star Core Rescue," and it's the director's cut.
Although the film is 11 hours long, those who have downloaded movies know that the download time doesn't depend on how long the film is. The download speed of the film depends on the network speed.
Substituting it to J'onn, it depends on his thinking speed. It just so happens that his thinking speed is really fast; the 11-hour film was transmitted in just a few minutes.
This led to him eating a large amount of shit in a very short time. And his firm worldview didn't let him become a maggot in the sea of dung, but directly sank to the bottom.
After Hal returned, he saw J'onn sitting blankly on the chair, while Oliver was helpless on the side.
Hal took a deep breath. Bruce, who was sitting on the side, ran away, but unfortunately, he ran too slowly.
Hal raised his hand, and Bruce was grabbed back. A green hamster wheel appeared out of thin air in mid-air—from the speed of the Green Lantern energy constructing the hamster wheel, one could see how skilled Hal was—Bruce was thrown in with a "whoosh."
Inside the hamster cage, Bruce shouted and yelled for Clark and Diana to save him, but unfortunately, both expressed powerlessness. Helping Bruce speak at this time, it's likely he would be thrown in too.
J'onn lay there for a whole night before he barely recovered. The first thing he did after recovering was to scold Bruce.
Now he finally understood why everyone was scolding Bruce when he first came to the Justice League base.
And J'onn is now very curious about a question: who the hell directed this broken movie? How did this director manage to be useless from plot to picture to actors?
But J'onn instinctively felt that this question couldn't be thought about in detail.
After experiencing this, he completely lost the idea of working diligently. He saw it; the Justice League is a huge grass-roots team, the organizational ability is not as good as the town police station he was in before, and there are people inside frantically causing destruction.
What kind of work is this? Working in the Justice League is not as good as being a policeman in the Cat Getan Police Department.
Ron could also be considered to have set the record for the fastest absenteeism among Justice League members—he didn't go at all on his second day of work. Then he discovered that the Justice League seemed to be the same whether he was there or not, and no one came to find him or assigned him any work. So, he also fished with a clear conscience.
However, the "Mars Trap Plan" was still proceeding in an orderly manner. Just as Lex speculated, Zod was not reconciled and didn't intend to settle for the second best, but had been staring at Luthor Tower, wanting to get his warship back.
However, adding Kara, there are a total of four Kryptonians in the building now, and he couldn't beat them head-on at all.
But Zod didn't believe it; could the spaceship stay in Luthor Tower forever?
This is of course impossible. Scientists who can research this level of spaceship are national treasures, and it is very difficult to get them together, not to mention that they also need various professional equipment, some of which you can't buy just because you want to.
Zod estimated that Luthor must choose a partner between the two major powers and transport the spaceship out. At that time, no matter what, he would have a chance to snatch the spaceship back.
But he waited here for a long time, and the Luthor Group didn't seem to have any movements, looking like they intended to treat the spaceship as a collection and seal it up like this.
Just when Zod was drumming in his heart, he suddenly found that those Soviet guys speaking Russian suddenly frequented the Luthor Group, and there were more new faces among them.
Zod believed that this should be Luthor finally unable to hold back and chose the Soviet Union as his partner.
In order to determine their route for transferring the spaceship, Zod chose to follow the agents who frequented the Luthor Group recently.
But as he followed, he found something wrong; the other party didn't take the international route at all, but headed to the neighboring city—Cat Getan.
Originally Zod thought they were trying to cover their tracks and fly to Moscow from Cat Getan Airport. But after a little investigation, he found it was not so.
This group of people went to Cat Getan and didn't go to the airport, and the time point they went to didn't have flights to Moscow. They just wandered around Cat Getan, disappearing from time to time.
Zod was very puzzled: could it be that Luthor already knew he was crouching nearby and specifically found someone to interfere with his vision?
But after observing for a period of time, he found it wasn't—the actions of this group of people were regular, and they were clearly doing something.
Although it couldn't be seen from the surface, Zod could also infer that this seemed to be related to Cat Getan's mysterious "Inner World."
Zod realized that Luthor might want to use the Inner World to transfer the spaceship. It can only be said that this happened to hit Zod's weakness.
Regarding the mysterious Inner World, he knew nothing. Malafak wanted to take action against it before, but didn't succeed, and didn't even get the information back. This led to the fact that no matter what they did in the Inner World, Zod was completely in the dark.
This is definitely not okay. Zod knew that if they really built a teleportation portal or something in the Inner World and transported the spaceship away, he would never be able to find it back.
In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Zod must find a way to figure out what the Inner World is all about.
But from the exploration actions of Malafak before, it can be known that entering the Inner World is very troublesome. Despite this, he still has to think of a way and must not sit still and watch this group of despicable thieves succeed.
In order to research the Inner World, Zod could only come to Cat Getan.
He clearly knew that he had an advantage, which was that Gothamites basically hadn't seen him. Maybe they had seen him from a distance through the camera lens of the TV in the news about Metropolis before, but as long as he disguised himself a little, ordinary people wouldn't recognize him.
He came this time to scout for information, especially to figure out how to enter the Inner World; naturally, he couldn't swagger in wearing Kryptonian armor. So Zod changed into human clothes, preparing to sneak into Cat Getan to scout the situation.
It must be said that the physique of Kryptonians is perfect. After Zod put on a suit, he looked very much like the most typical American rich man—dressed appropriately, exercising all year round, and maintaining a vigorous image anytime, anywhere.
The social and political situation of Krypton is actually similar to Earth's. However, in the era when Zod lived, the situation of class solidification was much more severe than on Earth, and the poor and the rich were almost completely isolated.
The rich can obtain more information and go to more places than the poor, naturally. If you want to investigate something, it is naturally better to pretend to be a rich man.
Zod chose the first target location, which was the park around the wealthy residential area, precisely because the situation of Krypton and Earth is similar.
A stranger appearing in the residential area might arouse suspicion; after all, if you don't live here, why come here?
But the surrounding park is open, and people from all surrounding communities can go. Ordinary people at most recognize their neighbors, and it is impossible to recognize everyone in the surrounding communities. At this time, you can pretend to be from Community B when talking to A, and pretend to be from Community A when talking to B, achieving the effect of mixing fish with dragons.
Zod also did research before coming; he knew the situation of the surrounding communities, and also understood some basic human entertainment activities, so he wouldn't show fear when chatting.
Just as Zod walked into the park from the east entrance, a few people walked down from two family cars in the parking lot on the west side of the park.
Victor and Nora took Billy down from the SUV in the front. Victor and Nora went to the trunk to get things, Billy "whoosh whoosh whoosh" ran to the back, came to the back door of the car behind, waiting for Aisha to come down.
After Aisha got out of the car, she threw away her scarf first. Billy gestured constantly and said excitedly: "My new house is that—big! I have never seen such a big house! There are four floors in total including the basement, and a super big garden, even a swimming pool, can you believe it?"
Aisha waved her hand and said: "Alright, don't make a fuss. If you go to my house one day, you will know what a real super mansion is."
Aisha was not lying. The renovation of Wei En Manor was basically completed.
Before, Wei En Manor had some foundation subsidence due to years of disrepair, and the architectural structure was also very strange—although the footprint was large, the usable rooms were very small. Bruce and Selina, plus a group of children, couldn't live in it anymore.
So Wei En Manor started a long renovation work. Being big also has advantages, which is that you don't have to move out entirely to renovate.
The method is to repair a little here today and a little there tomorrow; the places being repaired are not lived in, and everyone lives in the places that haven't been renovated.
After several years of continuous renovation, the manor has basically been renovated except for the civil engineering and the shell, and many modern facilities have been added.
The layout of the back garden basically hasn't changed, but in order to facilitate the children to play in the water, a large swimming pool has been added, and even a small section of rafting, and a shallow water area with a slide for Aisha to play, which can be called a small water park.
This is also the main reason why Bruce has no money. After all, he is Bruce Wei En, and he has a share of the family business dividends, but he has been renovating the manor, so his cash on hand was so tight.
Aisha told Billy how fun the water park at home was, and Billy told her about his experience of following his foster family to stock up for the supermarket in the town before.
Then J'onn brought Betty down from the car in front. The three children gathered together; basically, Aisha and Billy were talking, and Betty was listening quietly.
Betty and Billy, who were originally attending the same school and the same grade, planned to have a small gathering. However, Betty only had Aisha as a friend of the same age, and Aisha had been accompanying her before, so J'onn contacted Schiller and invited him to participate in the family gathering.
School hadn't started yet, so Schiller wasn't busy. Aisha clamored to go, so Schiller agreed.
Originally, they planned to have a meal at Victor's house, but obviously, the active children were not satisfied with this. So they decided to go to a nearby park for a picnic, and could also feed the swans raised in the park, and play with the dogs in the pet area next to it.
Fortunately, Victor had prepared picnic supplies before and went to the supermarket to buy many snacks, so they brought the three children to the park.
The sky was clear, the weather was cool, and it was just the right time for outdoor activities. Several people found a patch of grass by the lake, spread out the picnic blanket, and chatted while watching the children playing and making trouble by the lake.
