Chapter 4376

"This is our new base." Bruce stood in front of a building and introduced it to everyone: "This used to be a private hospital, but because of some contract disputes between the hospital and the subsequent land acquirer, the hospital stopped operating, and the land was left idle. After I bought it, I transformed it into one of my safe houses. But due to the development of Metropolis, this place became the center of the city, with too much traffic and not strong enough concealment, so it was temporarily abandoned."

"After I wanted to form a superhero organization, I found someone to repair this place and renamed it 'Hall of Justice.' All legal procedures for the association have been completed, and there will be no problems entering and leaving here in the future. Follow me, your rooms are upstairs."

Everyone walked into the hall, and then found that this base was not as high-tech as imagined. They thought they would walk into an alien base like the Batcave.

But in fact, the first-floor hall is industrial style, the walls and floors are gray cement, the furniture uses black metal and brown wooden boards, and there are decorative brass pipes on the ceiling. A row of tungsten filament light bulbs hang down above the bar, solid wood wine cabinets are placed behind, and there is a large wall of green plants. Green potted plants are placed everywhere, and there is a set of Italian sofas that look low-key and luxurious and floor-to-ceiling windows with good lighting conditions.

Going up along the metal bracket stairs, the style upstairs is slightly warmer, with wooden floors, a small reception area, and then the bedrooms. The layout of the bedrooms is about the same, a large double bed, wardrobe, and desk, which can meet the most basic living needs, each equipped with an independent bathroom.

From the bedroom, you can see the courtyard behind. There are two buildings behind the courtyard, which are the gym and the infirmary. There is a small garden full of plants on the side, which looks very warm.

Everyone knows this is not the point. Batman is a guy who is used to digging holes. Bruce led them to the hidden elevator, which is a device that needs to be activated by special energy, and only certified super-powered individuals can use it. The basement is in a very deep place, basically impossible to break through by force.

The basement below is a replica of the Batcave, with all kinds of electronic equipment and research equipment, as well as some training areas for superpowers, making everyone nod frequently. Money is good.

Finally, Bruce clapped his hands and called everyone to the conference room. He clicked on the projection screen, and the city that appeared on the screen was very familiar to everyone, it was Metropolis.

Then some pictures were played on the screen, most of which were homeless people, including tent areas in many places. Bruce put his hands on the table and said: "The Justice League is a superhero organization, and the ultimate goal of this organization is to help ordinary people. It's just that the organization has just been established, and I don't know enough about everyone's abilities and work styles, so in the first mission, I don't impose any restrictions on everyone. You can use your own methods to help others, and the goal is the homeless in Metropolis."

"You can play to your strengths, act individually or work together. In the time before Christmas, save as many homeless people as you can, which will allow my understanding of you to reach a higher level, facilitating our subsequent scheduling and cooperation."

At this time, Hal raised his hand and asked: "Then are you participating?"

"I am not responsible for command this time, but responsible for logistics. You need any help in terms of supplies, funds, or connections, I can provide them. Even if you might cause some trouble, I can help solve it."

"You don't have to worry about funds." Victor hugged his arms and said, "Victor and I studied it, digging a handful in the money laundering process of those rich people is faster than digging a bank, and you don't have to worry about being hunted down."

"This is what I want to ask," J'onn said, "Some behaviors might violate the laws of New Jersey..."

"You grasp the degree yourself." Bruce said, "Violating the law is fine, violating morality is fine, even manufacturing accidents and killing people is fine. You can do whatever you want. But this might affect my assessment of you and the arrangement of subsequent actions."

"I don't kill people," Diana said, "I mean I won't take the initiative to murder others. In the process of self-protection, I will also restrain as much as possible and will not harm others' lives."

"I am the same as you," J'onn said, "I believe I have the ability to restrain anger and killing intent and will not murder others."

"I don't kill people either." Hal suddenly spoke. Everyone looked at him, feeling a bit surprised. Hal said: "Murder is an extreme violent crime, it is very difficult to get off the hook. Once you get involved in a murder case, things will become very troublesome. You might need several years to deal with the aftermath, so try not to kill if you can."

Barry thought about it, then said: "I don't kill people either, but what I think is, if you put him in prison, then if there is a grievance, you can still redress it. But if you kill him, if you make a mistake, there is no room for recovery. I can't guarantee that I am 100% correct, so it's better not to kill."

"I won't care so much," Victor said, "If he uses lethal force to attack me, then I might use lethal force to attack him. This is very fair, isn't it?"

Arthur pondered for a while, then said: "It's hard for me to guarantee that I won't kill people. Maybe I didn't want to kill him subjectively, but humans are too fragile in the water, it only takes a few minutes, he might lose his life. I can only say I try my best."

Everyone looked at each other, and now the problem appeared. The camp was divided into two factions, one faction is firmly not killing, even if it is self-defense and counterattack, it will not kill; the other faction is ambiguous, will not take the initiative to murder, but if the other party wants to kill him, the counterattack might involve human life.

Diana wanted to say something, J'onn gave her a look, cleared his throat, and said: "We all agree that we should try our best not to take the initiative to murder others, right?"

Victor and Arthur also nodded, they are not killers, of course, they don't kill if they can, it's just that they are more inclined to unlimited self-defense counterattacks.

"Compared to combat ability, Victor's hacking ability is obviously more useful," J'onn said, "So he doesn't actually need to be present at the combat scene, just use hacking ability to assist. What do you think?"

"Actually, that counts as being present at the scene," Victor said, "The radio waves of all electronic equipment are me, it's just that they can't destroy me by destroying the terminal equipment. My body is safe staying in the base."

"Then that's it," J'onn said, "And Arthur should try not to act alone, if attacked, let others take action, so it won't cause too much movement. What do you think?"

Arthur nodded. He possesses the ability to control water, but when he really moves, he can't control a bottle of mineral water, no matter what, it has to be seawater, river water, or water tower water, the amount of water is very large, and the movement will definitely be very large, maybe he can flood the whole street. And humans have no survival ability in the water, people who can't swim can choke themselves to death in a few seconds. So unless it is a last resort, he cannot take action on land.

"Let's discuss what to do now." Diana said, "The winter in Metropolis is very cold, people are freezing to death on the street every second now, so the priority is to solve how to keep warm.

Although I think we can change the temperature of an area together, it is difficult for us to guarantee that we will stay here every winter, so we need to take more sustainable methods.

There are many sources of heat, besides raising the temperature, you can also provide high-calorie food, houses that can shelter from wind and rain, and medicines to treat frostbite. Who will do these purchases?"

"I'll do it." Hal raised his hand, "Carol's maiden family has two freight companies locally, which can complete the procurement and distribution within three days, at least saving a batch of people in tomorrow's cooling."

"But this is not a long-term plan," Barry frowned, "Letting them stay on the street, sooner or later they will freeze to death. We have to find a place for them to live."

"What about the shelters in Metropolis?" Arthur asked, "Amnesty Bay is also very cold, some people who can't afford heating fees will stay in shelters in winter, at least they won't freeze to death."

Victor shook his head and said: "According to the data I can retrieve, the 68 shelters in the Metropolis jurisdiction are already full. The homeless are not stupid, those who don't take drugs, or those who are not addicted to drugs, grabbed positions when the weather just started to get cold."

"Then those left outside are the vulnerable among the vulnerable." Diana sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said, "Count the number of people first, see how big a place is enough to live. If it really doesn't work, gather them to a square or park, and turn up the temperature there."

"The Municipal Administration will not agree," Hal said, "Especially before Christmas, squares and parks have to be decorated. If you bring homeless people there, they will go crazy."

"Then find a place that is more remote and barren. Metropolis should also have some abandoned or vacant industrial areas, that should be fine."

"The homeless won't follow us," Victor said, "They will only think we want to sell them. Of course, using some tough means is not impossible, but this might affect our group reputation."

"Can't you find a way to eliminate it?" Barry looked at him and asked.

"Yes. I can clear all information on the Internet, but I may not be able to fully intercept some secret communications of the military and government, this matter definitely can't be hidden from them."

"Forget them." Barry said unhappily, "They don't care, we care, can they not let us?"

"Then that's it." J'onn said, "First purchase a batch of supplies to distribute, and after counting the number and location of the homeless, gather them together for resettlement. Of course, try not to make too much movement, ordinary people also have to celebrate the festival."

Everyone nodded, and then dispersed. Bruce seemed to have been fiddling with the computer, but actually, he had been listening to their conversation. Facts have proved that almost every universe's Justice League has this configuration, which is not unreasonable. They are indeed quite comprehensive, members cover various social classes and ability types, and what is even more rare is that their three views are basically consistent.

Bruce looked out the window, they had already started to act, most of them flew to count the number and location of the homeless. But he just took a look and put his eyes back on the computer. On the screen, there is a very complex design drawing, and some details have not yet been perfected. Bruce returned to work.
