Chapter 3604
"Cyborg." Wonder Woman turned her gaze to Cyborg and said: "Can you hack into the spaceship and get the blueprints?"
Cyborg shook his head and said: "Brainiac's control over the spaceship is very strong, it's very difficult for me to get any information through simple electronic intrusion, unless I can find the correct interface. And the spaceship might not necessarily save the spaceship blueprints inside. I think the possibility is not high."
"Then how are we going to find the correct interface? If there are no blueprints, we can't safely act on the spaceship. Can't find the interface, but getting the blueprints requires a safe interface. Isn't this self-contradictory?" Wonder Woman said, and then sighed, looking at Superman and saying, "If Batman were here, he would have a way, unfortunately, he is not willing to help us."
"There is another Batman here." Superman looked at Bruce and said, "Do you have any good ideas? Mr. Batman?"
Bruce touched his chin, thought seriously for a while, and then said: "Brainiac is a super AI, and we are carbon-based life forms. No matter what, it's very difficult to compete with him in electronic information. If we must start from this aspect, that is using our shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Then we have to think about what strengths we have compared to Brainiac." Bruce continued to make a gesture of serious thinking and said, "Actually, looking at it comprehensively, we are not superior in any aspect to this AI, whether it is technology, life form, or wisdom, we don't have the upper hand in any aspect."
"You are too humble." Wonder Woman said, "The Batman in our universe said that only he can compete with Brainiac's wisdom."
"Theoretically speaking, if we must pick one person from among us who can compare with Brainiac in terms of wisdom, I think perhaps it would be me." Bruce expressed his conservatism and caution, saying, "However, in pure logical operation, it is impossible for anyone to surpass this AI. We must recognize this point."
Wonder Woman nodded and said: "That's right, precisely because of this, we haven't made any progress for a long time. Although we have the heart to fight him, the gap is really too big. Perhaps only some overly conceited people would feel they can go head-to-head with him."
"However, Brainiac is not without weaknesses." Diana suddenly spoke, "His weakness is his motivation for invading Earth."
Wonder Woman frowned deeply. She looked at herself from the other universe and said: "You can just speak clearly. Just like the Batman in that universe of yours. We don't have that much time to waste on guessing each other."
"I also know what Diana means." Clark turned his head to look at Diana, nodded to show his understanding, and said, "Brainiac invading Earth is because he wants to turn Earth into his collection. You said he has already collected several cities, then if we move our hands and feet on the next city he collects..."
Wonder Woman showed a sudden realization expression, she said: "Isn't this very easy to mix into the spaceship?"
"That's right. However, there is also a problem here, that is, what kind of technology the bottle used by Brainiac to collect cities adopts. If we can't break through the bottle, I'm afraid it's also in vain."
"We have some images of him acting on Earth cities." Superman opened his mouth and said, "If you can find a way to break through the bottle from them, that would be great."
"I can take a look." Bruce said, "But I don't guarantee that I can study the technology just by relying on some images. I also said, after all, our life forms are different from Brainiac's. Things that seem simple to him might be technical barriers we cannot overcome."
"You are too humble." Wonder Woman smiled and praised, "In human terms, you are a true gentleman."
"Thank you, ma'am. I'm just telling the truth." Bruce also smiled and said, "I don't know what your universe is like, but in that universe of ours, we tend to fight as a team. Everyone performs their own duties, rather than who controls whom. The members of the team are equal, and everything is discussed."
"This team atmosphere is great." Wonder Woman said, "This is what a superhero should look like, don't you think? Clark?"
Superman appeared calm, he said: "We think that the target he aims at next will still be cities on the East Coast of the United States. Perhaps Miami or Boston. We tend more toward Boston."
"I think we can divide our forces into two paths." Diana spoke again, "Those who are proficient in technology can stay behind to see if they can find clues to crack Brainiac's technology from the previous images, while the other part of the people go to the city to see where we can move our hands and feet."
"Dividing forces now might not be a good idea." Wonder Woman refuted, "I agree more with Bruce's point of view, we should be more united."
"If this is your opinion, I have no opinion." Diana spread her hands and said, "After all, this is your universe, listen to you."
"Let's do it this way." Superman said, "Clark, Diana, and I will go to the East Coast. The rest of the people stay behind to help Batman decipher the images. Cyborg, watch the base well when I'm not here."
Cyborg nodded. Superman looked at Wonder Woman.
"I think it's better for one of you two to stay behind." Bruce spoke up, "Don't forget there is more than one Batman in this base. In case that one wants to come out to do something, we are unfamiliar with the place, it's really hard to handle. Better let Hal go with you, and it's better for one person to stay behind to do precautions."
Wonder Woman's expression became vigilant immediately, she looked at Superman and said: "Indeed. It's fine if Batman is not willing to help us, if he really wants to destroy our plan, people from other universes don't know him well enough, it's really hard to guard against. I have to stay behind to watch him."
Superman was obviously disapproving. Because if the two of them went with Clark, that would be two against one; but if Clark and Hal from the other universe went with him, that would be him one against two. The situation was very unfavorable for him.
Although he didn't want to take this opportunity to do anything, he had to be on guard.
But Superman also really didn't want to let Wonder Woman go to the East Coast with two outsiders, he wasn't completely unaware of Wonder Woman's stupidity.
Now the best situation is for him to go to the East Coast and Wonder Woman to stay behind. But leaving her alone, Superman is also not very at ease.
Superman could also bring one more local over, but among these locals left, most have become Batman's supporters. Bringing them over, he is still isolated and helpless.
If he and Wonder Woman go together, that is two against one; but if he is worried about Batman taking this opportunity to persuade this group of outsiders, that would be even more troublesome.
He regretted agreeing to the split-force plan a bit. Because there were really too few people he could trust completely, and too many people to guard against. How could he and Wonder Woman be split into four people? There were too many Batman supporters and outsiders.
"I'll go with Robin." Superman looked at Damian. Although he is Batman's son, he has already broken with Batman, so he should be trustworthy in terms of stance.
"Then we will send Clark and Hal." Bruce nodded and said, "The rest stay here."
"Why not Diana?" Superman asked.
Before Bruce's side could answer, Wonder Woman rushed to say: "We don't need to waste time on such questions. Brainiac can't wait too long. Get ready to set off."
Clark gave Bruce a subtle look. Bruce looked at Diana calmly, and Diana also looked at him. The three exchanged opinions in silence.
Their eye contact was not noticed by anyone. Because this is not a common way of communication for the Justice League. Generally speaking, if Batman wants them to know, he will make it very clear; if he doesn't want them to know, he won't give a single expression.
This made no one present able to see what Bruce and the others were plotting. Only Batman, who was monitoring here, saw that they had designs.
But what exactly they wanted to do, Batman didn't know either. Although he had made as bold a speculation as possible, he still couldn't understand the brain circuits of this group of lunatics.
Oliver gave Bruce a wink, and the two left the conference room and came to the window along the corridor. Oliver whispered: "How is it?"
"Actually, most of them are not worth worrying about. But there is one person who is very troublesome, and that is the Wonder Woman of this universe."
"I saw it. Otherwise, you wouldn't force her to stay behind and leave her isolated."
"This is just the beginning." Bruce said, "Next, you cooperate with my actions. Trouble is better solved early."
Wonder Woman didn't notice at all that she had stepped into a trap. She hugged her arms and came to the window of the conference room, looking at Diana and Clark who were talking.
"Hello." Wonder Woman nodded and said.
"Hello, ma'am." Clark said, "We were just talking about the combat meeting just now. I don't know what high opinion you have?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious about your universe, after all, Superman and Batman have both been there, but I haven't. What is your universe like?"
"Actually, it's quite ordinary, and we haven't encountered any big trouble before Brainiac's arrival." Clark smiled and said.
"Are the Batman and Superman in your universe—I mean, the same experience as in our universe?"
Clark lowered his eyes slightly; he could of course feel that Wonder Woman was here to probe for information, but the method was really not very smart, asking a bit too straightforwardly.
"Not quite the same, ma'am. You should be able to see that we are younger. Lois and I haven't married yet, and we haven't even gotten engaged. Naturally, there is no tragedy caused by the Joker."
"So that's it." Wonder Woman nodded and said, "But you'd better be on guard. The lunatics running out of Gotham are not easy to deal with. I really don't know what Batman is thinking, if he had killed them earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
"He might have his own considerations." Clark said, "After all, if you talk about it, Metropolis has quite a few troubles too. Superheroes themselves should help each other."
"I didn't expect you to be curious about them first." Diana smiled and said.
Only then did Wonder Woman put her gaze on Diana, she sized Diana up, and then said: "You shouldn't go to Battleworld often, I haven't seen you much."
"Yes, my work is quite busy, especially recently. I haven't logged in for a long time." Diana shrugged lightly, and then she looked at Clark and said, "I'm going to find Bruce. You guys talk first."
After speaking, she left. This time Wonder Woman put her gaze on her, and even stared for a good while.
Only then did Clark understand a bit of what Bruce had told him about "some things are clear at a glance."
When you face someone who is much stupider than yourself, they think they are hiding well, but in fact, every action, every expression, and the meaning represented by every sentence are clear, simply like getting the correct answer during an exam.
