Chapter 4310
The disturbance coming from outside the door grew louder and louder. At first, it was just the sound of running, then it was shouting, and then it turned into gunfire. One could tell that at first it was single-shot rifles, then it turned into submachine guns, and then even machine guns were used. This time, one didn't need to use super-hearing to clearly hear the sound of the conflict outside the door.
Another minute passed, and one didn't even need to use hearing to understand that something had happened, because the people in the interrogation room started running out. At first, it was just the guards being transferred, then the officers left, and then even the staff in the lounge and pantry next door didn't know where they had run to.
Clark stretched his limbs lightly, and the handcuffs shattered like freshly baked butter cookies. He stood up, twisted the door handle off, and poked his head out to take a look. The corridor was terrifyingly quiet, the fully armed soldiers were nowhere to be seen, and no one paid any attention to him.
So, he just strolled out. The closer he got to the door, the more he could hear the sound of gunfire and artillery, accompanied by shouting. Clark waited in the corridor for a while until he heard the sound of helicopter rotors, and then he walked to the main entrance.
Outside was a mess, with traces of ammunition and explosions everywhere. However, there were no corpses. The soldiers were all hiding in the bunkers behind the base, and there were no casualties for the time being.
However, Clark had already seen a wounded soldier. One of his arms was charred black, seemingly hit by some laser weapon. Clark bypassed that part of the trench and came to his side. The other party was very shocked when he saw him, but Clark waved his hand at him.
"God!" Another voice came from behind him, Clark turned his head and saw another soldier wearing a steel helmet.
"Alright, Superman. No matter where you came from, take him away quickly. He needs to see a doctor," the soldier said.
Clark first sent the person back to the base, then came outside the base again, and picked up two more wounded soldiers to send back, until several armed helicopters appeared over the military base.
And at this time, Clark had already touched the front line. Then he discovered that the invaders who caused such a big commotion were actually just three aliens. They were all wearing black full-body armor, the style of the armor was very strange, wrapped very tightly, and it looked very inconvenient to move. They also held laser guns in their hands; the power of this kind of gun was very great, and hitting concrete could directly burn a hole.
Clark didn't rush up rashly, he just squatted in the trench and observed. This group of his own kind looked a bit strange, at least not the Kryptonians he imagined. If he had to say, they were a bit like humans with more advanced technology.
Their movements were a bit clumsy, not smooth and free at all, and although their operation of weapons was considered proficient, they also seemed to fear the weapons on the human side. For example, when the rocket launcher was fired, they would remind each other and run to avoid it.
You know, for Superman, let alone a rocket launcher, even a nuclear bomb couldn't kill him. He didn't put conventional thermal weapons in his eyes at all. You can't stay out forever just to avoid a mosquito bite, right?
However, this group of aliens fought timidly, and there was also a kind of awkwardness of not adapting to the planet's gravity. Holding such powerful weapons, they had been fighting here for nearly half an hour, and they hadn't even broken through the first layer of defense.
The more Clark watched, the more he felt that he seemed to have overestimated them a bit. And listening to the command sound of the officers coming from the trench, he believed that the military might also think so. This group of aliens didn't seem as strong as imagined.
Accompanied by the entry of armed helicopters, another group of people jumped down from the helicopters. The dress and appearance of this group of people were obviously different from ordinary soldiers, more similar to special forces. The weapons they held were also very strange, a bit like a loudspeaker.
The leading special forces soldier, after jumping down, rolled on the spot, dodged a ray, and then rushed forward fiercely, approached an alien, and pulled the trigger of the loudspeaker-like weapon at him.
"Bang!"
A huge vibration, Clark was also shaken. Immediately after, he felt a bit nauseous and uncomfortable. Seeing the green powder spreading in the air, he knew why.
Damn it, this group of people moved quite fast, they made it into a weapon as soon as they got the gemstone. Clark couldn't help but curse in his heart. He wanted to hold his breath, but found that he didn't need to breathe at all, and the powder wasn't something he could be immune to just by not breathing.
The alien closest to that special forces soldier was directly shaken to the ground by this shot. Clark used his super-vision to see the other party's mask cracked, and the green powder was directly sucked into his helmet, and then the other party lay on the ground and started twitching.
The other two companions seemed to be frightened, somewhat at a loss, and as a result, one of the masks was cracked by a slug bullet from another special forces soldier. Immediately after, he couldn't do it either, fell to the ground and started twitching while clutching his neck.
A large net covered these two aliens, it looked like the military side intended to capture them alive. However, fortunately, the remaining alien reacted quickly, forced back the special forces soldier with a laser beam, and then hurriedly burned the rope net, pressed the emergency life-support device on the armor of the two companions, and ran back to the small frigate not far away.
The special forces soldier still wanted to do something to the remaining two, but when the spaceship drove over, it was bigger than imagined, they hesitated for a moment, didn't dare to go up, and then a beam of light took away the two companions lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Clark breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his own kind wasn't too stupid, if they really let the military capture one or two alive, it would be troublesome.
The excitement was over, and he returned to his cell. Not long after, he really heard the sound of cursing. The tall white military officer he had seen before walked in and glared at Clark.
"It's useless for you to glare at me," Clark said. "I told you long ago, they and I are not on the same path. If they all had my strength, the Earth would have been destroyed long ago."
The officer opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say, because what Clark said was right. That group of invading aliens didn't seem to have any super-abilities, they just had more advanced equipment and weapons. And now, the military had mastered weapons that could restrain them, and it looked like the crisis that could destroy the Earth didn't seem worth mentioning either.
Therefore, although the officer suspected that the aliens were very likely led by Clark, it might also be a blessing in disguise; they successfully defeated the aliens, which meant their right to speak would rise.
The white military officer just wanted to say something, when a subordinate came in with a phone. After he answered it, he said: "Yes. That's right, we have already won. No, we couldn't capture any alive, just repelled them. Yes, the new weapons are very useful. I can be responsible for saying that we are currently the only ones who have mastered the method of defeating them... What?!"
Clark watched this officer perform a face-change in front of him, at first slightly proud, and then his face turned black.
"How is this possible?! The British Museum... is already on the way? Is the gemstone on it real?! But... okay, I understand. Be sure to intercept this batch of artifacts!"
Clark couldn't help but rub his eyes. How come you are everywhere? The British Museum? What's wrong with this again???
And then he suddenly remembered, what did the news say before? The Metropolitan Museum of Art applied to the British Museum for borrowing, and the borrowed exhibit was exactly "The Serpent of Frigne." That is to say, soon, the so-called "real thing" "The Serpent of Frigne" would appear in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
And there was also a green gemstone on this "The Serpent of Frigne," exactly the same as the green gemstone in Luthor's hand before, that is to say, this was also a weapon to deal with aliens, and it was about to be publicly exhibited.
After the military officer left in a hurry, Clark opened his phone, and sure enough, the mythological legend story about ancient Egyptian civilization repelling aliens had already spread like crazy on the internet.
He stumbled and really made a good move. Before, there was nothing to prove that this story was true. After all, legends were just legends. No matter how true they were spread, they were things from thousands of years ago, and no one knew what the truth was back then.
However, Clark went in three times, directly led the aliens to the US military base, and let the military, which had just developed new weapons, win a victory, proving that the weapons made of green gemstone powder were really useful. In this way, the legend must be true.
With armed helicopters dispatched, the movements of the base couldn't be hidden from others. After other forces within the Federation learned about this, they would inevitably try every means to get gemstone powder. What was undeniable was that whoever could master this weapon that repelled aliens could occupy an advantage in the subsequent game.
Originally, it could only be obtained from the military, then the military could ask for an exorbitant price, or simply not give it, and use this advantage to threaten the whole world. But now, the so-called real thing was about to appear in Metropolis, and there was an identical gemstone on the snake's tail. Who wouldn't want it?
The military naturally wanted to get it to maintain their monopoly, while others wanted to get it to break the military's monopoly. This is good, wouldn't it have to be a mess?
However, compared to what happened on Earth, Clark actually wanted to know more about how chaotic it was on that spaceship now. His group of self-righteous own kind estimated that they were already scared crazy.
Clark hadn't found himself so fond of watching the excitement before. He felt that this wasn't very good, but if he were asked to go back to work like this, he wouldn't be reconciled. After thinking about it, he still took advantage of the chaos in the military base and slipped out, starting to fly toward the atmosphere.
He hadn't been flying for long when his phone rang. After opening it, it was actually Bruce calling him.
"Come to Wei En Manor, bring the machine I put on the roof to low Earth orbit, thank you."
If it were in the past, Clark definitely wouldn't run errands for him, but he thought about it, squatting in low Earth orbit to eavesdrop was really a bit stupid, and waiting to be photographed by satellites, it was better to borrow Batman technology. He could drink hot coffee at Wei En Manor while watching the excitement.
So he took a turn, came to the roof of Wei En Manor, and saw the machine Bruce mentioned. Calling it a machine, it was only as big as a mobile phone. He brought the machine and flew near low Earth orbit, and even specially found an angle that wasn't easy for the spaceship to find, and threw that little thing over.
By the time he returned to Wei En Manor, Bruce was already sitting on the sofa looking at the projection screen. Clark walked over and greeted him, sitting on the other side of the sofa.
