"What's wrong? You're so anxious to hang up the phone."
Linn put down the phone in his hand and thought for a moment, feeling that Ron might not want him to go and get some consultation on his own.
That's okay, Ron must be extremely busy at this time, so I'd better be considerate of him.
Linn rode his bicycle and hurried forward on the road leading to the metropolis.
This road was extremely congested two days ago. It was filled with cars all heading away from the metropolis, and not a single one was going that way.
Everyone was so determined to escape that Linn even saw many ruts that broke through wooden guardrails and then drove directly into the woods and fields.
It's better now, there's not a single car.
"It seems that no one wants to rush back to the metropolis at this time."
Think about it, there is a city with supermen over there, and it can be destroyed like this. This kind of impact that breaks one's inherent cognition brings a sense of ideological destruction, which is not based on a few words on the TV news. [Already safe] can be solved.
Lin En felt that after this incident, there must be a lot of people who moved directly and left the metropolis, which was nothing surprising.
However, there is probably no use in moving or anything like that. In DC, you can move to the mountains or to the sea without any delay.
"Well, just don't move from Metropolis to Gotham, hahahaha!"
While riding the bike, Lin En thought of an interesting place and laughed happily, but there was no one here. He was just surprised by the birds on the tree.
Not long after, when Lin En had vaguely seen the metropolitan city cluster, the phone rang again, and Ron called back.
On the phone, Ron told Linn with a very confident tone that they did have one of the mother boxes, and they had asked Kara to take it with them and set off to hand it over to Linn. As for the remaining two, they didn't know.
After all, the battle scene at that time was too chaotic, and the scope of the impact was too wide. No one could get close to the battlefield between the Human God and Darkseid. No one knew what happened there.
Behind the scenes, Ron unabashedly "accused" Linn. Aren't you yourself the person involved? Two of the three mother boxes were originally in your hands, and you personally delivered them to Steppenwolf. After you finished playing, you flew away. Why didn't you think about the three mother boxes that have not been recycled?
Linn was speechless. This was indeed his fault.
But there is a reason for this! I was not myself at that time!
After hanging up the phone, Linn continued to move towards the metropolis while thinking about something.
That thing must still be in Metropolis, in addition to various superheroes in the city at that time. There should be no outsiders.
Of course, if someone really pulls them out of the city, as long as the three of them are not together, it won't be a big deal.
If Carla can send one, then it won't be a big problem. At most, whoever is lucky can become the new Cyborg. If he is a good person, it may be a good thing. If a bad person gets it, find him and deal with it. What's the point?
After a while, a figure slowly landed in front of Lin En in the distant sky.
"Kara, you are very brave now. You are flying like this in normal clothes in broad daylight."
Lin En laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"
Kara seemed to be very happy because of something, and kept smiling: "No, everyone in Metropolis is busy now, and everyone has seen too many superpowers in the past two days. Even so far, There are still urban heroes running all over the streets to help in the metropolis. It’s no wonder that there are people flying overhead again, but no one wants to look up.”
"Well, the people of the metropolis have a broad vision, and I have a share of the credit for this!"
Kara covered her mouth and snickered, and handed the iron box she was carrying behind her back to Linn's hand.
"Now, this is the box that Ron wanted back from those people.
Speaking of which, it's a good thing that you threatened them before. Although those people were reluctant and wanted to pretend that it didn't happen, but when they heard your name of Aries, they all wilted and threw them away happily. The box was handed over. "
"Aries?"
Lin En was stunned: "Ron didn't say it was me, Lin En, who wanted it, but Aries?!"
Kara smiled even wider.
"Yes, Lynn, now that your name is on their list, you will probably only be ranked third.
The first is Aries, the second is Superman, and the third is you~"
"no!"
Lin En was anxious: "I have to ask them for an explanation!"
"Hey, hey! Stop!"
Kara quickly grabbed the back seat of Linn's bicycle and said anxiously: "If you tell them your identity, my brother will also be exposed!"
Lin En had already stood up and started kicking. Hearing Kara's words, he felt that it made sense.
Regardless of the appearance or methods presented by the identity of Aries, except for the personality which is very different from Superman, the rest of the things are easily reminiscent of Superman.
Lin En himself is not afraid of this, but as for Clark, let's just let him go.
It would also make him feel better if an Aries came out to give him some limelight.
"Then it seems that I have to do something again to enhance my reputation!"
Kara stuck out her tongue as she listened, feeling as if she had said the wrong thing.
So he quickly made up for it: "There is only one mother box now. Do you have any clues about the other two?"
Sure enough, Linn's attention was drawn to the mother box again.
"No, but that's not important."
"Isn't this important?"
After Lin explained the functions of the three mother boxes to Kara in detail, he patted the box in his hand and said, "Since I have one here, the remaining two are not so dangerous."
In fact, even if three mother boxes are gathered together now, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Darkseid's goal is too big. Every time he makes a move, the New Genesis Star next door will definitely not take it lightly and will definitely cause him some trouble and try to stop him.
Darkseid won't do anything good anyway. No matter what he does, just intercept it.
Under this thinking program of New Creation Star, New Creation Star must be aware of the fluctuations caused by the space channel opened by the mother box on Apokolips.
In addition, Darkseid is "conquering himself" this time, and the energy fluctuations will definitely not be hidden from Heavenly Father and the others, and isn't Steppenwolf dead? He is not a clone, but his real body is hanging on the earth.
Such a big move would be impossible if Heavenly Father did not do something. Needless to say, Apokolips must be at war with New Creation Star at this moment. The real Mother Box opened the space channel, and Darkseid didn't have the time to come over.
Moreover, he should know it very well in his heart.
On the current Earth, when the big guys don't take action, the Kryptonians alone cannot be solved by his clone.
Compared with before, after a battle, the threat that the mother box can pose is extremely limited.
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it. If you dare to steal things from me, these people really don't know how to write the word "death".
After saying something to Kara, Linn put the box on his back that couldn't be stored in the space bag, got on the bike again, and was ready to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute, Linn, can I follow?"
"you?"
Linn blinked: "Why do you have such thoughts?
Hey, don’t you think that your brother’s approach is the most suitable path for you? Clark and I are different.
I can really kill people. "
"I know."
Kara squatted down, picked up a small branch and scratched it on the ground: "I also want to do something, I am also a Kryptonian, and I can also fight very well!
But you all treat me like a child, and so does Clark, and so does Ron, and so does Fiora, and so do you.
In such a big crisis this time, apart from running around the office, I couldn't do anything to help.
Even someone as lazy as Fiora helped..."
"Oh~~"
Lynn understood.
In the final analysis, it is because people are passionate and really want to do something and want to help that they have such an idea.
Speaking of which, Kara seems to be 15 or 16 years old now. How can a Kryptonian not say that? On Earth, she can barely be considered a little adult.
Moreover, she is a Kryptonian after all, so her combat ability has never been a problem. What everyone is worried about is her too young age.
Do the math, from the time Kara came to Earth to now, she has followed Linn, Fiora, and Brother Martian, and they have all gone on some missions. If [superhero] can really be considered a career, Kara's internship experience is undoubtedly quite rich. .
Thinking of this, Linn remembered that she had used the card to look through Ron's records and found an unlucky guy to help Kara "learn lessons".
Linn was still very satisfied with Kara's performance at that time.
In other words, this matter of different styles does not seem to exist anymore.
So, Lin put her hands on the bicycle and looked at Kara with a smile: "You really want to help?"
Kara stood up after a while: "Of course!"
"Okay."
Linn nodded: "You should tell Ron and Fiora yourself, and you can just follow me on the way to find the two remaining mother boxes."
"yeah!"
What else could be said? Kara took out her phone and reported to the two of them separately.
Fiora's reply was very fast. She just gave the message, and she replied with "" in seconds.
Ron En spent some effort on his side. After a long time, Ron En replied with "..." and then another one: "Protect yourself and stay as far away from Lin En as possible."
Kara happily showed the reply to Linn.
"Ouch! Ron seems to really want to fight with me. Does he have the strength? I gave him a chance, but it didn't work for him!"
"Hahaha, all right, all right, you will have plenty of time to resolve your matters later. Now is the mission time to retrieve the mother box. Let's go!"
With the consent of the three "guardians", Kara was in a good mood and no longer flew alone in the sky. She took the mother box from Lin En and carried it on her back like when she first arrived, and sat directly in the back of Lin En's car. Seated.
"gogogo!"
"Okay, sit tight! My car is famous for being fast!"
On the highway, Linn and Carla headed towards the metropolis.
……………………
night.
Lynn and Carla were sitting at the bar of the bar, drinking quietly.
This is the west side of the metropolis, far away from the south side that was destroyed by the battle, so the big turmoil in the past two days did not affect this place too deeply.
Except for the local residents themselves who suffered a lot of falls and sprains due to their panicked escape, and the various random drivers on the street who injured and damaged many people and buildings, there was basically no damage. The Magic City seemed to have little interest in this less prosperous area, and not many came here. They were quickly killed by the local patrolling superheroes.
However, the physical impact is not very big, but the psychological impact is certainly not small.
In the past two or three days after the disaster, in addition to the booming business in the home construction and car dealership industries, bars and other entertainment venues are also booming. People need excitement, alcohol, and some hope from other sources of survival. The same kind of "stimulus" to prove how lucky you are to still be alive and what a cause for celebration.
Compared to the lively scenes of laughter and excitement throughout the bar, Linn's side seemed a bit out of place.
No way, Kara is not of age yet, she can buy a gun in a store, but she cannot buy alcohol in a bar.
Therefore, Kara, who was holding a glass of ice water, was obviously not in a good mood: "Lynn, what are we doing sitting here?"
"Hey, you don't understand this."
Lin En immediately helped Kara learn more about it.
“Places like bars, especially those opened in special areas of the city, have never done business just by selling drinks.
For example, if you look at this bar below the light sign, is there a numbered sign? That is a special sign indicating that the owner behind the bar is a member of a certain gang.
Look at the tattoo on the bartender's hand, a series of numbers, right? And then look at the one at the door. "
"779, 830, is there anything special about this?"
"Of course, do you know that in Metropolis, the entire underground force actually only has one gang.
That gang was called [10] at first, then it became bigger and stronger, so it was called [100], and then it was changed to [1000].
This 1000 divides the metropolis into several districts. Each district has a boss. This boss will use a special font to ask his subordinates to tattoo numbers at specific locations.
The two people we are seeing now are the two members of the Number Gang here in the West District, and this bar is also the property of the Number Gang. "
After being introduced to the secrets in the dark world by Lin En, Kara certainly found it interesting and interesting, but she still couldn't quite figure it out: "Does this have anything to do with what we are looking for?"
"Of course."
Lin En drank another glass of wine: "As I said just now, the Number Gang has basically unified the underground forces in the entire metropolis and divided them into different districts.
But to the south, the ground has become white. "
"so?"
"So, they all want that piece of land now. The leaders of other districts certainly want to increase their strength and compete for that piece of meat.
If I guess, at this time, it is very likely that the mother box was taken away by them. "
Lin En spread his hands: "That's why I brought you here to look for clues."
Kara's eyes lit up: "Then, when will we do it!"
"We don't have to look for it ourselves."
Lin En raised his chin: "Look, they came here on their own."
【1000】This organization does exist, and it has almost unified the underground forces in the metropolis. But I made this tattoo up, it’s fake.
