"I punched that idiot Tom directly in the face, and then gave him an elbow..."
On the helicopter, Billy, who had already shouted "Shazam" and transformed into a muscular man in a cape, was still chattering about his glorious deeds of beating several other teenage boys.
"He also wanted to cheat and attack me with two people. I just kicked to the left and then whipped my legs with the right..."
Chen Tao had to stretch out his fingers to stop his nonsense, pull him away from his seat and give him some space: "Stop talking now."
He opened his cloak.
The hatch below the helicopter opened, and underneath was the invisible Batplane hovering in mid-air.
"Wow, that's cool," Billy said.
Chen Tao asked Billy's adoptive father one last time silently.
Adoptive father Victor Vasquez took a breath, and then confirmed to Chen Tao again: "It's just a visit, not a fight?"
"Um."
Seeing that the other party was still a little hesitant, Chen Tao emphasized to him: "You can't protect Billy in your bottle forever."
Billy's adoptive father Victor finally choked back his last words, and he made up his mind: "Okay. Billy, you have to be early..."
But before he finished speaking, Chen Tao picked up Billy and jumped into the invisible Bat Plane with him amidst the screams of joy.
With a bang, the hatch closed.
When Victor saw the screen, Alfred turned his head: "Now, do you want to go home directly? Mr. Victor?"
the other side.
"They always bully others, but this time they did it in front of me. How can I bear it? I was..."
Chen Tao drove the plane expressionlessly.
"Hey, Billy."
"uh-huh?"
"Well, I mean." Chen Tao paused.
"When you rushed up and beat up those school bullies, did you ever think about the possible consequences?"
Chen Tao said: "For example...for example, if you can't beat them, or maybe you just need to walk away and pretend not to see this, then there is no need to conflict with them...or something."
"What? Of course not!" Billy said: "Even if you can't beat him, you have to fight!"
He shook his fist twice on the passenger side: "I will never be afraid of bad guys!"
Chen Tao pursed his lips.
Some kind of heroic qualities... It can only be said that every member of the Justice League has more or less such innate heroic qualities.
"Ha, are you testing me by asking me this? Mr. Wayne?"
Billy shook his fist excitedly: "When I get the chance later, I will definitely show you how powerful I am!"
How reckless, Chen Tao resisted the urge to hold his forehead. Billy has been talking almost non-stop since just now. Even for a child, his energy is too high.
"Okay, okay, we're here."
He flew the plane and landed quietly on the lawn outside the Interstellar Laboratory.
"Listen, we're not here to fight this time, so you'd better act mature."
The hatch opened and Billy jumped out first.
Chen Tao reached out and pressed a few times on the operating table of the Batplane, and said while pressing:
"I have already sent a message to people in the government, such as Colonel Steve Trevor and Agent Amanda Waller. Maybe we will see them hurriedly arriving in ten minutes."
Stealth aircraft silhouetted themselves at his controls. The purpose of Chen Tao's doing this is to prevent someone from walking on the lawn and hitting the invisible plane, causing a bloody head.
"But before they come, we have to exercise restraint to prevent misunderstandings, you know?
"I don't want people from the government to misunderstand that we want to seize the mother boxes by force."
"Originally, they were guarding us like thieves. They didn't want the news that they had found a mother box to leak to us. If we directly rob it with force, it would only touch their sensitive nerves."
He jumped out of the door and parked the plane.
"Although it is absolutely necessary to change things like leaving dangerous things like Mother Boxes in interstellar laboratories, we have to discuss it with the government. They are the government after all and represent the most basic public order."
Chen Tao was thinking deeply as he spoke.
His relationship with the government has become increasingly tense since the Brainiac incident, which is a bad problem.
Once there is no visible and tangible external threat, human beings' evil nature of infighting begins to emerge.
Perhaps it was the fact that Amanda Waller directly used her authority to ask the government to fully cooperate with Batman that stimulated some of the martial arts factions within them. Maybe it was Metal Man and his armored man troops that gave the martial arts factions a certain degree of confidence.
So now the government is not only trying desperately to hide their findings from him, but they are also doing their best to mislead him.
For example, Dr. Randolph before, and the Kryptonian spacecraft they detected carrying the super dog Krypton.
Chen Tao has long wanted to find an opportunity to talk openly and honestly with people from the government. Although it is impossible to establish a close relationship like the Avengers and SHIELD next door, at least the unnecessary internal friction must stop.
For example, on the issue of mother boxes...
Chen Tao turned his head and planned to continue to say to Billy, who had transformed into the strong Shazam before: "Let's go, remember to be polite, let's go together..."
A gust of wind blew by, and only Chen Tao and his stealth plane were on the lawn.
"...Billy?"
boom!
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh!"
Bang!
Billy stood at the gate of the Interstellar Laboratory. The 45-centimetre-thick iron gate was kicked by him repeatedly, leaving thick footprints. In the end, it could no longer bear the weight of superhuman strength. It collapsed with a loud noise.
"Alert! Alert! Intruded! Guard—"
Billy, who transformed into Shazam, put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly: "Hahahahaha! You evil villains, accept the beating from the righteous hero!"
"Fire!"
Dang Dang Dang...
A hail of bullets like a blizzard poured towards Billy in just a few seconds, startling Billy.
But he soon discovered that such an attack could only tickle him, not even break his skin.
So he quickly puffed up his chest proudly and began to imitate the Superman on TV, assuming various postures like a bodybuilder, and then danced and swayed like a comedian, walking towards the place where he was still driving in vain. Gun guard.
"Heh...ahhhh..."
One step, two steps, the barrel of the Gatling gun began to emit red smoke, but it could not harm the enemy in front of him at all. The guard just watched the monster walking in front of him with the bullet in his hand, and let out a desperate howl. .
He dropped Gatlin, then took out his pistol, and shot Shazam in the upper eyelid with a desperate shot.
"Ouch!"
This actually made Shazam jump up: "You actually threw ashes into my eyes!"
Then the next moment, he was inundated with more bullets.
A guard hurriedly put his hand on the earphone: "Warning, warning, very dangerous. Someone is invading the laboratory. Please notify..."
"...Everyone evacuate, repeat, evacuate..."
The voice of the frontline guards came over the radio, followed by screams and continuous gunshots. All the experimenters stood up. They should have evacuated to a safe area immediately, but...
"Jesus, Silas, look at these readings!"
Dr. Stone's female assistant suddenly exclaimed: "Whatever this is, we seemed to have started it just now!"
Dr. Stone immediately rushed to the computer: "He is teleporting!"
"Can the source of energy be traced?"
"I'm trying to lock on to the signal!"
And his son, Victor Stone, gritted his teeth.
"There is an invasion outside! Dad, you are still working on this thing at this time!"
He turned to look at the trembling mother box, then quickly caught up with his father and shouted in his ear: "Is this thing more important to you than your own son?"
Dr. Stone's violent shouting gave him a headache, and he turned around suddenly.
"enough!"
"……enough!"
Chen Tao, who arrived belatedly, turned into a blue afterimage, like a bullet fired at extremely high speed.
The speed bullet bat was synchronized with him, stretching his whole body, showing a pure blue appearance.
He grabbed Billy's raised fist and said, "We're not going to attack them!"
He turned his head and saw the iron door on the ground like a piece of crumpled toilet paper. He couldn't help but choked. Then he immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "You even kicked the door down, my God! Did you? Didn’t you hear what I told you before?”
"Ha, what did you say to me before?"
Looking at Billy who was blinking like a fool, Chen Tao sighed heavily.
He turned to look at the guards who were holding their guns as if they were facing a formidable enemy. He hurriedly raised his hands:
"Hey guys, we don't mean any harm. If you know me you know who I am. Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor will be here soon and he will explain what's going on..."
But before Chen Tao finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
Because he felt a huge energy erupting inside the interstellar laboratory.
At this time, he was loaded with rapid bullets and narrowed his eyes.
Can't see the specific situation clearly.
The government people lined the laboratory here with lead coating. It is obvious who this trick is to prevent. But even lead could not prevent Chen Tao from feeling that unconventional burst of power. Something was very wrong.
Chen Tao frowned.
The burst of energy was so vivid that he might have to...
He sighed.
"Gentlemen, could you step aside for a moment? I have something I need to do inside right now."
No one got out of the way.
Chen Tao picked up Shazam, ignored the guards who kept firing, and walked directly towards the next iron gate.
There were several iron doors in this laboratory, two of which allowed him to see through because they had not been coated with lead.
Chen Tao raised his foot and kicked the iron door upside down, causing a burst of shouts from the guards behind him.
"Hey, buddy, you're much better at kicking down an iron door than I am."
Shazam, who was held in his hand, said, "Do you like kicking down iron doors by yourself?"
Chen Tao had no expression on his face and ignored his pretense. He raised his foot again:
boom!
With a bang, Victor, who had just walked behind his father, only heard a violent explosion behind him.
The violent sound and light almost deafened his ears for a moment.
He turned his head and was stunned to see a portal opening from behind him. Countless small metal chains were connected in the void, forming a circle, and then there was a deep red chaos in the middle.
Then, a... monster jumped out from the chaos.
The thing had a pair of fleshy wings, but was covered in steel armor. It looked like a rotting corpse fished out of magma, with rows of teeth on its face.
There is an ohmic pattern on their hearts, and half of their bodies even have some machinery implanted in them, emitting a slight fluorescence.
In just a few seconds after the door was opened, four or five such monsters jumped out.
"ah!"
There was a fierce scream. Before Victor could react, he saw the monster grabbing him. Before he could escape, an experimental assistant tore him in half amidst the screams. , blood and intestines fell out like flowers scattered by a goddess.
"Help, hurry up..."
There was a sudden chaos in the laboratory. Victor saw that there seemed to be more monsters rushing out from behind the portal, but at this moment, a burst of thunder and lightning erupted from the metal on the upper edge of the portal, and then the portal suddenly closed. The reset mother box fell to the ground with a bang. One of the monsters immediately picked it up and ran outside quickly.
"ah!"
In the midst of the lightning and flint, a monster rushed directly towards Victor and his father. Future Cyborg bravely rushed forward and punched the monster with a fierce fist!
Then... he almost broke his fist. The monster backhanded him and he flew backwards.
boom!
Cough cough cough…
In the smoke and dust, Victor managed to support his body among a pile of debris that he had knocked over, and then with eyes wide open, he saw the monster lifting his father.
"Help!"
Victor's eyes widened.
What his father had just said rang in his ears.
"Open your eyes and take a look! Son... they can fly, they can tear apart buildings... they will make everything you can do become child's play..."
"...In a world like that, wouldn't it be a joke to lose a ball and conquer the world?"
"No!"
He tried his best to get up from the ground, not feeling the pain of all the bones in his body as if he had been broken.
The rugby player's excellent physical fitness allowed him to move after being hit by the monster, but he couldn't do anything.
Under the influence of adrenaline, he ran behind the monster and punched and kicked the opponent's stone-like body with all his strength, but he was unable to change the opponent's movement of strangling his father's throat with one hand.
The monster seemed to be studying his father, scrutinizing him for value.
"Whoever it is, whoever it is!"
Victor punched one after another: "As long as you can save my dad, who will save my dad!"
Then he heard a loud bang.
He turned his head and saw the menacing Batman kicking open the last iron door, followed by the panting guards.
