[Comprehensive British and American] Shoebill stork is passing by

The interior of the living whale fall is jointly structured by buildings and creatures. Both sides coexist without interfering with each other. It is often a section of cement-framed wall and a section of crimson sausage wriggling by creatures. Batman looked at it for a while and realized that they were doing this. Only advance through the digestive system of living things.

"Looks like it's digesting stuff," Batman commented.

Hai Shaoxia turned his head and explained to him as he walked: "Whalefall will digest all the inanimate structure substances, convert them into energy, and supply the parasitic organisms on itself."

parasitic.

Hai Shaoxia's definition of his group of people is very accurate.

Batman agrees, asking, "Can it get anything in this cycle?"

"It seems that it can't do anything." Hai Shaoxia said, "It's not even raising itself."

That's why it's called "whale fall".

The so-called whale fall is a process in which energy is gradually depleted and decayed from a peak state.

It drops itself into the bottom of the sea and supplies everything except itself.

Whalefall is a type of corpse.

Batman mused.

"You guys, have you investigated this 'living whale fall'?"

Hai Shaoxia shook his head.

Now there are not enough instruments and resources in this base. Naturally, it is impossible to inspect and test such a large living whale fall. We can only keep building according to the characteristics of the whale fall, let it swallow it, and transform it into what is needed by living things. Edible other things, and then go back and continue to stuff other non-living organisms.

Batman paused for a moment, then asked something else: "Where did all this cement come from?"

"Human relics. The buildings before the apocalypse are enough for us to use for a long time. The brain-controlled superman likes to throw things into the sea, so he made a waste recycling."

Hai Shaoxia specifically emphasized: "It is really enough for a long time, and the preliminary estimate is at least enough to support us to cruise underwater for hundreds of years."

In response, Batman let out a mocking snort.

On further detailed questioning, Batman learns what happened in the first few years.

Overall: Brainiac is seriously ill.

In the first one or two years, Brainiac devoted himself to sending many mechanical creatures to wreak havoc in the city. Humans were powerless to resist. They retreated again and again, some retreated underground, and some moved towards Atlantis. help.

At that time, Atlantis was already planning to transfer to the living whales, and it took some coastal residents along with it.

"Sounds like it's looking for something..." Batman thought immediately, "Any results?"

"Probably not yet." Hai Shaoxia explained, this is just his inference, and there is no further evidence, "Those mechanical bodies are still rummaging, under the command of the brain-controlled superman, they disassembled all human beings. Buildings, tearing up steel bars, dismantling cement, and then throwing them into the sea one by one, seems to want to empty the entire city."

He paused. "Unfortunately, because there are too many human buildings, so far, the effect is still not great."

The effect was not great, and he didn't know how to give up and look for another way out. He still sent out mechanical bugs to search one after another. The degree of persistence was evident.

Hai Shaoxia also has some clues about the "something" that Brainiac is looking for.

"The investigation team noticed that sometimes the mechanical bugs would suddenly fail and paralyze in place. They should have been attacked by some kind of electronic virus. Afterwards, a large number of mechanical bugs would search intensively, but they never found anything."

Batman: "Can I get in touch?"

Hai Shaoxia shook his head: "The other party has never responded to our contact."

"Then Batman, I mean our parallel Batman, speculates that this 'electronic ghost' is 'something' that Brainiac has been looking for. To hide from Brainiac, it won't appeared before us."

During the conversation, Hai Shaoxia finished the simple report by the way, and at the same time, they also arrived at their destination.

There are obviously more artificial buildings in this section, and they are more completely preserved. It seems that the living whales have preserved this area consciously.

The door opened, and it was just an ordinary conference room. Neptune Arthur Curry sat at the end of the conference room and naturally called them over.Arthur is often reprimanded by Mela for not being what a king should be, and everyone is used to it.

However, this Arthur still seems to be approachable on the surface, but there is an obvious alienation in his eyes. It seems that the last few years in the last few years have had a great influence on him.

So will this parallel self have some kind of change?

Batman thought about it, and sat down behind Hai Shaoxia.

Then, Hai Shaoxia uploaded his simple report in front of Haiwang and gave an oral report.

How did I meet Batman on the way of searching, and carried the bat directly to Arkham.

"Arkham?" Arthur had a strange expression on his face. He didn't look at the simple report for the time being, but looked at Batman: "You must know that Gotham has been destroyed for many years." However, he was not surprised that Batman would go to Gotham. Tan.

how to say?

It's very Batman.

Batman said nothing.

Arthur asked Hai Shaoxia to return Pippi to Mera first, so as not to suffer the Queen's wrath, and Batman took the opportunity to ask Hai Shaoxia to feed him for a while.

Arthur: "Stupid?"

"Our parallel fools."

Arthur: ...It's hard to associate The Fool with the name "Dawk".

He still ordered immediately: "Okay, first go get some food for that whalebill stork."

Hai Shaoxia took the order to leave, and now only Batman and Arthur were left in the room. Arthur pushed him a cup of hot water, and Batman squeezed the cup, but he didn't rush to drink, but asked: "Now How's the situation?"

"What exactly do you mean?" Arthur was drinking his glass.

"The situation in the live whale fall."

As a visitor from another parallel, Batman seems to have too much control, but surprisingly, Arthur did not show any resistance, but reported the matter naturally.

He can also guess what Batman wants to do.

"Nearly 60% of the people of Atlantis live here, the rest are mainly combat troops, and they are resettled in other places. There are also some surface people who are civilians. Some government personnel are very troublesome. There is no other use for it. If you want to ask me to borrow it, I don’t have any available right now.”

Batman: "...we know each other well?"

"It's not bad? We've been working together for the past few years," Arthur pointed to the sky, "After all, your last partner is disobedient now. That blue bird is also not here..." Then he was out of luck.

Arthur was helpless about this. "Honestly, it's not a pleasure working with you at all."

Batman: "Are you sure?"

The topic seems to jump a lot, but he has been used to being tossed about by his parallel Batman in the past few years. Arthur can understand what he is asking, and shakes his head: "In theory, yes. But now the two psychic abilities that can take him back The victims were either killed or injured, and we have no other alternative to safely recapture Superman."

Death or injury?

Batman thought for a moment, realizing something.

"Shadow?"

"Yes, it can't return to its own body, because there are some problems with the nature of its ability, which is different from what we thought," Arthur complained, "It is also a psychic, and there are actually different models. It is similar to X Professors are completely different, not operational."

So you can't walk around at will, and you can't directly manipulate others.

Its capabilities are closer to infection vibes and amplifiers.

"Do you know? Strictly speaking, the Fool is also a person with psychic abilities." Infection and amplification, that is, influence type.

Batman was not surprised, and motioned Aquaman to continue.

Neptune: "It was actually more effective and safer to amplify the personality of the superman with the ability of the ghost, thereby destroying the function of the brainwashing controller, than to let Professor X do psychic intervention." After all, letting Professor X do it is actually brainwashed "But the whereabouts of Yiying's body is unknown, and Professor X has passed away for many years..." So this matter can't be done.

"The other psychics can't do it?"

"No way, Yiying does not accept the guidance of other psychics." Haiwang shook his head.

That fox is too vigilant and has no relatives. Only Professor X can barely gain its trust.

"Professor X passed away? But isn't his body put away by me?" Batman looked at Aquaman.

Arthur was taken aback, and asked back, "You actually know?"

"I found him, in the place where I usually hide things. Maybe you should read the report of Sea Young Man." Batman gestured to the electronic board in his hand.

"That's useless, Professor X's thinking..." Neptune just wanted to say that Professor X's thinking was missing, and he suddenly choked. He looked at Batman and realized that this guy might have found Professor X's thinking .

"I have." Batman confirmed his statement.

Oh, almost forgot that both are Batman...

Arthur was a bit tempted to drink, but let it go, he didn't want to quarrel with Mela at this time.

He resigned to his fate and opened the report, looking down ten lines at a glance, Arthur showed a surprised expression.

At this moment the door opened.

"I said I would knock." Arthur frowned.

Entering is Magneto and the White Queen.

The White Queen is responsible for protecting the brainwave safety of all individuals in the living whale colony, and sometimes assists in the screening of combatants who come and go. rarely come out.

"The White Queen said she felt an acquaintance." Magneto said straight to the point.

Arthur raised his eyebrows, but his eyes fell. Looking at the first line on the electronic board, Hai Shaoxia specially brought out something to say alone: ​​Batman's self-proclaimed Professor X's mind has been recovered, and he is currently "stupid" by the whalebill stork. in the brain.

Magneto came here at this time, and it was self-evident who the "acquaintance" he was talking about was self-evident.

Arthur didn't say a word, and Magneto didn't talk to him, and turned to face Batman: "Where is it?"

Batman: ...?

He didn't say a word, and Magneto didn't care, the mutant pulled the metal chair away, and sat down in front of Batman, obviously on the bar.

Batman: ... huh.

Arthur: ...

Pick up a water glass to drink water and watch a play.

These days, there are not many villains who dare to stand up to Batman, and watching a scene is a thing.

……

…………

It's the same room at the entrance.

The two animals left behind looked at each other.

The pattern of "look at Pippi blankly, and Pippi blankly at blankly" is maintained.

The only difference was that the Shoebill was still standing where it was, while the otter had gone from standing to sitting to lying down to lying down. In the end, it was still dissatisfied.

Dazed: ...

I couldn't help but step on it lightly with my foot.

Soft and very comfortable.

I stepped on it lightly again.

Pippi snorted, raised his eyes and called out to it: "The bald and dull chicken has grown hair~~

Dazed: ...

There is a language barrier between the otter and the shoebill stork, and the generation gap is obvious, one can't speak, and the other is a standard chatterbox, but this does not prevent Daidai from reading the ridicule and provocation from Pippi's small eyes.

He paused for a moment.

How could this otter deserve such a beating?

Dudai narrowed his nictitating membrane, and as soon as his claws were retracted, he grabbed the otter's belly, and the big bird's claws clasped it around the middle.

Youcai also likes to be provocative.

Summary: Need a beating.

This is neither the younger brother nor the "friend" brought by the papas, Dadai felt that he didn't need to be polite, if he deserved a beating, he could just give him a beating.

So it stood on one foot, grabbed Pippi with its bird claws, and raised it to its mouth.

stare--

Pippi:  …

Ohno!

The wave is too much to provoke——!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Pippi screamed.

"Crack." The Shoebill stork clicked its mouth to signal it to stop barking. There is no one here, so what's the use of barking?

"Oh!" It must be useful!

That's right, I didn't expect it to be really useful.

"Click." The door opened and closed.

"Put the claws!" The human exclaimed.

It had heard this voice before, but it wasn't familiar. It tilted its head blankly, and saw Hai Shaoxia who had just entered.

And the plastic box in Hai Shaoxia's hand.

No matter what era, plastic boxes probably look like this.

There is a large one with big white flowers, the sound of water swaying inside, and faint black shadows swimming back and forth.

Just, very delicious looking.

"Let go of Pippi first." That was the only request Hai Shaoxia made.

Dadai immediately let go of his claws, and Pippi rolled on the spot and hid on Hai Shaoxia's calf.

Only then did Hai Shaoxia open the plastic box, and the whalebill stork moved over and probed.Seeing the dino fish swimming under the water surface shaking its head and tail, he was suddenly satisfied, and all the otters and Pippi were thrown behind his head.

The whole Shoebill quickly entered the meditation mode.

Hai Shaoxia picked up Pippi and inspected it, and confirmed that the little guy hadn't been hurt in any way, it was just screaming miserably. Then he turned his head to look at Daidai, only to find that the whalebill stork hadn't started eating, but was staring at the water fish in a daze.

"What is it doing?" Isn't it starving?Why don't you eat it?

Hai Shaoxia couldn't help asking softly.

He didn't know why he deliberately whispered, but he just felt that there was something that could not be disturbed.

Pippi lay across Hai Shaoxia's arms, pillowing on the other's chest muscles, and let out a "squeak".
