Chapter 3590
"You finally came back. I thought you wouldn't make it in time for the freshmen's start of school," Shiler sat behind his desk, looking at Victor who walked in, and said.
"What's going on with Pamela? Why would she want to take people to Krypton?" Victor sat down in the chair beside him and said, "Don't tell me it's your ghost again."
"You guessed wrong this time," Shiler said, "Pamela is a member of the Justice League; she has always been working for them, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Then you should at least know what they are doing," Victor said helplessly, "The Justice League has been missing for almost a month, there should be some movement."
"I'm sorry, but I really don't know," Shiler said, "I got involved in this matter purely to help you guys get more funding."
"But in fact, we didn't get much," Victor sighed and said, "Amanda is simply unreasonable. If she were slightly smarter, our income would have doubled ten or a hundred times..."
Victor's tone revealed regret; Shiler could see that he really relied on Amanda. But unfortunately, Amanda was not Nick; her brain didn't turn, and even if she knew how S. H. I. E. L. D. operated, she couldn't imitate it.
Shiler got involved, but it seemed to have no effect, failing to make the Federal Shield achieve a good capital cycle like S. H. I. E. L. D. But the main problem was not with Shiler, but with Amanda.
If it were Nick, then Shiler would have created a perfect opportunity for him. Because if the Federal Government also chose to lean towards Brainiac, then the remaining opponents would all be the forces of the Federal Shield.
That is to say, Congress negotiating with Brainiac was not the end, but a beginning.
It was impossible for everyone on Earth to be a surrender faction. Accurately speaking, only those politicians would choose Brainiac between Brainiac and Amanda, because they were worried that Amanda would settle scores with them afterward, so they would rather take long-term poison than suffer short-term losses.
But there are still people with foresight in this world after all. They clearly realized that even if Brainiac didn't cause any harm now, he must have other purposes. They would definitely not lean towards Brainiac.
Such people not only have long-term vision but are also usually smarter and must have some influence, making them excellent candidates for supporters. The Federal Government's move was equivalent to pushing this group of people directly to Amanda's side.
As long as Amanda could find a way to contact the leader among this group of people, there would actually be a lot to do.
Although the Federal Shield is an American organization, the world is not just America. The Soviet Union hasn't died yet, and the strength of several countries in East Asia should not be underestimated. Since the Federal Government chose betrayal, contacting them wouldn't count as treason.
Not to mention far away, even if she could connect with the KGB in the United States, she could entangle with the FBI for a long time, and maybe even get some funding from across the ocean.
In short, if it were Nick Fury who experienced this, he might have already organized a behemoth like S. H. I. E. L. D. in the chaos. Unfortunately, there is no Nick in this universe, only Amanda, and Amanda can only be defeated.
Although no funding was cheated, it was not completely without results. The biggest result was prompting the Federal Government to lean towards Brainiac, which could speed up Brainiac's speed of controlling Earth.
Shiler was not really doing it for Brainiac's good, but the faster he ruled Earth, the faster he would expose his purpose. A long pain is worse than a short one.
Solving it before the official start of school is better than waiting until after school starts, when classes and grading assignments pile up together, and being busy in a mess.
But now it seems that the Justice League intends to take action.
Batman and his party came to the surface of Krypton through the Green Lantern portal on Earth. But this place was clearly far from the center, and even retained a few points of natural scenery.
No one had time to sigh. Batman searched around and found that the energy of the entire planet had basically recovered, so he short-circuited a small spaceship driven by ordinary people, and after charging it, the group flew towards the central area.
"We have to find the laboratory where Brainiac was manufactured," Batman said, "We should be able to find more information about him there."
"Then we have to make some stir," Pamela said, "First attract Brainiac's sight over, and then sneak into the laboratory to find it. Otherwise, if he discovers it, he will definitely block it with all his strength."
"El Diablo and I will go," Pamela continued, "Our abilities are more conspicuous, and we will definitely be able to attract Brainiac's attention. You guys are good at sneaking, find the information as soon as possible and we will withdraw."
Batman nodded and agreed to this plan. Because he could see that El Diablo and Pamela were not in the same group, supervising each other, and he was not afraid of them causing trouble.
After approaching the central area, several people didn't dare to be careless, because Brainiac must be staring at this place tightly.
They split into two paths: Pamela and El Diablo together, the two Batmen and Deathstroke together, one south and one north, flying towards two different directions.
"You make some stir here," Pamela said, "And there are things I want to find myself, don't tell them."
El Diablo stared at her with narrowed eyes, seemingly hesitating whether to stop her. Pamela looked at him and said, "Believe it or not, the Justice League asked me to do this. This whole plan is their plan."
"Who are they dealing with? Brainiac?"
"Don't ask so much, do your job well. If this matter succeeds, the Justice League won't treat you badly."
El Diablo was originally a bit inclined towards the Justice League, but after being told this by Pamela, he suddenly felt that he had boarded some pirate ship.
But in the end, he still didn't stop Pamela. On one hand, it was possible he couldn't stop her, and on the other hand, if the Justice League was really preparing something, but was disrupted by himself, affecting their arrangements and further affecting Earth's safety, that would be bad.
Pamela slipped away alone. El Diablo simply liberated his Fire God form, smashing and smashing all the way in the city, burning several buildings, and throwing cars at various buildings.
Brainiac soon discovered the anomaly here. He brought in defense robots, which were not the shoddy goods produced on Earth, but authentic Kryptonian specialties. Although Kryptonian civilization was not good at manufacturing robots, their advanced level in materials science and mechanical engineering made their robots more than one or two orders of magnitude more advanced than humans.
Even so, they were made of metal after all. El Diablo's high-temperature flames were the nemesis of all metal. He could fight dozens of them without falling behind, forcing Brainiac to pay more attention to his side.
Pamela didn't stay nearby for too long. She didn't go near the research institute, but came to the Kryptonian History Museum, and didn't wander around inside looking for a long time, but went straight to the target on the top floor.
Unlike humans, the lower the Kryptonian History Museum, the closer it is to modern times; the higher the floor, the more ancient it is. Pamela went all the way to the top floor; what she wanted to find here was information about the Kryptonian race.
Coming out of here, Pamela went to the noble district again, which was where the Kryptonian council members lived. She searched through it and took away quite a lot of information.
By the time Batman also found the information they wanted, Pamela and El Diablo met up and went to the intersection where they had separated as if nothing had happened.
"How is it?" Pamela asked, pretending to be anxious, "There are more and more robots, we can't stay here for too long."
"No problem, we found some research and development data from that time. I think we might be able to find vulnerabilities or underlying protocols in its system through these research and development data."
"Then don't stay here, let's go."
Just as they were about to leave, countless robots jumped down from the roof. Pamela sighed and said, "Don't worry about them, just drive towards the portal."
After speaking, her eyes glowed with a faint green light. All the robots were whipped away by vines, and the small spaceship rushed left and right, successfully avoiding various weapon strafing, and swayed towards the portal.
Successfully returning to Earth, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Batman said, "I need some time to conduct research, about 2-3 days. But I need a place that won't be discovered by Brainiac."
"This is difficult," Pamela said, "It seems that Brainiac has already reached an agreement with the Federal Government, and now the entire United States is under his control. But I think you can go to a place without internet, that kind of relatively primitive area, should not have fallen into Brainiac's clutches yet."
The two Batmen looked at each other and immediately thought of the same place, which was Blüdhaven. Although Blüdhaven is a coastal city, it has large forests and canyons. In the bottom of many canyons, let alone the internet, there is not even a telephone signal.
And Batman knew that many air-raid shelters were built there during the Cold War, and some of them still stored living supplies. Going there to research, at least before Brainiac actually occupies the world, they could find his weakness.
The Batmen left in a hurry. Pamela also breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to her lab, then used the magic of the Green of All Things to block all cameras and signals, and then began to study the pile of data she brought back from Krypton.
Don't look at the fact that there are two Batmen, but their research speed is far from as fast as Pamela's. After all, Pamela only needs to find something, and doesn't need to conduct real research; while Batman's goal is Brainiac, which is much more difficult.
In the end, Pamela found what she wanted. It was a string of Kryptonian numbers, a bit like a human phone number, but it was actually a cosmic signal band, used for directional broadcasting to a certain location in the universe, just like calling the other party.
Then, Pamela moved a somewhat peculiar item out of a box. It looked like an ordinary box with two antennas on top, like a radio, but the Green Lantern logo on the back indicated that this was equipment used by the Green Lantern Corps, which could be called a "Cosmic Phone."
The phone number in her hand could just be dialed out with this equipment. Pamela dialed the number on it. After a sound very similar to a human phone busy signal, the phone was connected.
"Hello?" Pamela said in English, "Can you hear me?"
There was clearly someone on the other side, but there was no reply. Pamela said to the other side at an extremely fast speed, "No matter who you are, I hope you can help us. A very evil artificial intelligence is invading Earth, it seems to be from Krypton. If you are an alien civilization, can you come and help us? Our address is..."
The other party didn't answer, but didn't hang up the phone either. After Pamela finished speaking, she created a series of noises beside her, then hung up the phone, pretending to be interrupted by something.
And the person on the other side put down the phone, was silent for a long time, turned his head and said to his subordinate, "Go and invite Lord Desaad, and say, there is news from Krypton again."
