Chapter 3516: The Study of Cats and Dogs (75)

I saw that man set up a posture beside the walkway, cast a rod, and then played with his phone while waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Zod pretended to be interested, walked over and said: "Can you fish in this lake?"

The other party glanced at him, sized up his dress, and nodded, saying: "You can fish, but only single-person single-rod lure fishing."

"How is the fish situation?" Zod said, and then hurriedly added, "I just moved to the Full Moon Avenue community next door, and I used to fish often in my hometown. I didn't expect there to be a fishing spot so close..."

"Ah, yes, I haven't moved here for long either," the man J'onn disguised as said. "I was indeed lucky; I caught up with the park opening for fishing and the new investment project as soon as I came over..."

Zod's heart moved, and then said: "New investment project? At this time, what project is worth investing in?"

J'onn pretended to have slipped his tongue, hurriedly waved his hand and said: "If you want to fish, you can come here to fish; don't ask about other things, I'm not easy to say much."

Zod wouldn't let him go so easily. He took a cigar out of the cigar box and handed it to the other party, then said: "To tell you the truth, I am also from Metropolis. The economy is not good, so I came here to find opportunities. A family to support, it's really hard."

J'onn immediately made a look of being moved by these words, and also sighed and said: "Who isn't? The business in Yaocheng was doing well, but when the Great Depression came, even the children were almost unable to be supported, so I had to come to the big city to find opportunities."

After speaking, J'onn sized Zod up again, and after evaluating "human-like dog-like" in his heart, he said: "I see you are also a decent person, but this matter is really not that I am unwilling to tell you, but... have you been to the City Hall?"

"I just moved here the day before yesterday, the house has just been cleaned up, where do I have time to go to other places?"

"You go to the City Hall, if you have this ability, they will tell you." After speaking, J'onn stopped talking. No matter how Zod asked, he wouldn't speak anymore. This aroused Zod's curiosity even more.

If the person J'onn disguised as was the kind of swindler who seduced others to invest, seeing a fish take the bait, he should have introduced it half-hidden and half-exposed. What is the routine of recommending people to go to the City Hall?

Zod instinctively felt that there was something in this. It seemed that there were not many people in this park, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't gain anything. After saying goodbye to that man, Zod came to the City Hall.

What was a bit strange was that as soon as he entered the door, a service staff member in front of the door glanced at him and pointed to the left.

Zod thought in his heart: "I didn't even say what I came here for, what are you pointing the way for me?"

He looked to the left, good guy, the door of the office on that side was full of people. This must be to join in the fun.

As soon as he walked over, he heard someone shout: "Don't cut the line, that big guy on that side is talking about you! There are only 20 spots left today, and you still want to cut the line? I've been queuing here for half a day!"

"Sorry," Zod said hurriedly, "I'm here to find someone, but what is this for?"

Finding that Zod wasn't here to grab a spot, the other party relaxed and said: "This is a house-viewing group, if you are not going, don't squeeze here, didn't you see there is no room?"

"House-viewing group? Whose house are you looking at?"

Zod was also not ignorant of goods; he knew it as soon as he looked at it that the people standing here were either rich or expensive. To let this group of rich people queue here, could it be that the building in the city center is for sale?

But there is no need to look at the house in person. The configuration structure and price of such a building are transparent; just let the subordinates handle it. What are they queuing here for?

That person waved his hand a bit impatiently and said: "The introduction manual is on the wall over there, go get it yourself, don't squeeze here!"

Zod had to walk in the direction he pointed, and then saw a shelf for manuals on the wall. Picking up the booklet and looking at it—"Inner World Real Estate?!"

"I've been disguising and finding people to talk to for half a day, and you tell me you've already started speculating on Inner World real estate?!"

"Didn't Malafak say that it is a mysterious space that only magicians can enter?"

However, Zod thought about it carefully and felt it made sense. He knows what the economic situation in the United States is now. In this situation, speculating on houses in another dimension to save the market is not impossible.

He just likes the spirit of humans who dare to sell the rope to hang themselves when they are forced to the point of desperation.

This is simple. Zod directly joined the house-viewing group. Don't look at the number of people squeezing at the door just now, but in fact, they didn't add up to 20. Zod successfully squeezed into this batch of house-viewing groups.

The method of entering the Inner World is not complicated either; there is a staff member of the City Hall leading them into a room, and then walking in from a mirror.

Although Zod didn't understand the principle, as long as he could mix into the Inner World, he could figure out what that Lex Luthor was doing. As long as the spaceship is snatched back, isn't it the sky is high and the birds fly?

With this mood, Zod looked at the style of the Inner World. After finding that it was basically the same as the real world, he couldn't help but sigh at the luck of humans.

"Why do humans get all the good things? If Krypton could have twice the living space, maybe it wouldn't have ended up in destruction."

But thinking about it, Zod felt it probably wouldn't work. Even if there was more living space, it would belong to those high-ranking lords, and ordinary people wouldn't get anything at all. "Forget it."

Thinking of this, Zod couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. And at the same time, he was also a bit puzzled.

"Humans and Kryptonians are exactly the same, except for a slight difference in physique and strength, from social structure to political situation, it is simply a 1:1 reproduction."

"But the situation of ordinary people in human society is much better than on Krypton, and the overall development trend of civilization is not that rigid, and the future is full of infinite possibilities."

"Why is this?" Zod couldn't help but think, "Logically speaking, humans are such a weak race, technology development, planet area, cosmic exploration stage are not as good as Kryptonians, how can they live so well?"

"More importantly, how did the human upper class not make the system infinitely rigid, lock the class completely, control and oppress everyone, and eventually lead to the destruction of civilization?"

Zod was a bit distracted and didn't hear what the tour guide said. However, seeing that the people next to him had gone to see the houses they liked in twos and threes, he had to walk towards the other end of the street.

Distinguishing the direction slightly, he found that he should be on a street in the city center.

Because the previous thoughts affected his mood, Zod walked quite aimlessly, thinking about various problems in his brain.

Walking, he found a very special one among the vacant buildings.

That looked like a shop, and the window had a very beautiful colored glass. Zod couldn't help but walk over, looked inside, and found that there were actually people inside.

And looking at it, it wasn't a tourist like him who came to see the house, but an employee working inside.

Zod walked into the shop. A man wearing a white shirt and a brown apron walked over and said: "Hello, sir, we haven't opened yet."

"Hello, I'm here to see the house. Have you already bought this building?"

"Yes, my boss bought this shop not long ago, it has been renovated, and we can open for business once the goods arrive."

"I also want to buy a house nearby. I see the layout and decoration of your house are not bad, I want to borrow it. Can I look around here?"

"No problem, sir, you can look at it, I still have work to do..."

Just as he said this, a shout came from the stairs upstairs: "Merkel, come and help me! Put this cactus downstairs!"

A female figure walked down from the stairs, holding a large flower pot in her arms. A huge cactus half the height of a person was planted in the flower pot.

When she walked down, Zod felt uncomfortable. Before he could see what was going on, she stumbled under her feet and fell directly out.

That flower pot flew straight towards Zod's face. He just wanted to dodge, but the thorns on the cactus actually separated from the body and all flew towards him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Zod pulled away violently, but it was too late. The flying speed of the thorns was faster than he imagined, and a large piece of green small thorns stuck all over his body. The severe pain made him couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Ah ah ah!!!!"

What's more terrible is that his skin, which should have been as hard as steel, couldn't stop the entry of the thorns at all. And the moment the green thorns pierced the skin and entered the blood vessels, his blood almost froze.

Just for a moment of stiffness, Zod fell straight backward. Two thick vines had been entangled at some point, and instantly tied Zod into a rice dumpling.

Merkel let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Pamela and said: "He won't be able to break free, right?"

Pamela shook her head and said: "His current state is equivalent to a human being severely allergic to the point of shock, and he won't be able to recover for a while."

"I'll call the Professor... oh, no need, they are already here."

Merkel saw a truck stop at the shop entrance. Wei Lun, the driver, got off first, but the one who got off the passenger seat was Victor.

Wei Lun opened the door of the truck compartment, moved down a cryogenic cabin as tall as a person, and Victor directed him to move the cryogenic cabin into the shop and place it on the ground. Pamela used vines to lift the tied-up Zod and threw him into the cryogenic cabin.

"Can this thing ensure he won't wake up?" Merkel asked.

"No," Victor said very decisively, "because what we need to ensure first is that he is alive. I am here to do this."

Merkel remembered Pamela's metaphor, and it was true; he was already in anaphylactic shock, so he still had to ensure the patient could be sent to the hospital alive.

The cryogenic cabin was lifted to the flat ground outside the shop. In a blink of an eye, Hal had landed on the ground.

He used Green Lantern energy to lift the cryogenic cabin and said: "We still have to send him to Mars to prevent him from going crazy and destroying Earth after he wakes up. The brainwave shock in the Martian city can make him unable to control his body, and we can talk to his spirit directly."

"If you want to use him as an experimental subject, shouldn't it be best to keep him in a vegetative state? What is there to talk about?" Pamela asked.

Hal shook his head and said: "Maybe it was like that before, but just now, the Green Lantern Corps found out why he was exiled to the Phantom Zone back then. Guess what crime he committed?"

"What crime?"

"Illegal revolution."
