[Comprehensive Yingmei] Push the boss to do things

Metropolis, near the Ghost Engine.

The military dispatched fighter planes, but in the face of the mighty power of the ghost engine, the fighter planes lost control, fell rapidly with the huge lifting repulsion, hit the ground and houses heavily, became sparks, and then became part of those lifting objects.

An overwhelmed building collapsed towards the street where many people were fleeing, and the shadow almost covered the entire wide commercial street.When the people below who had no time to escape were almost desperate, a huge bright blue barrier appeared above everyone's heads.

Huge buildings collided and shattered on the barrier, the rumbling sound and the blue light jumping on the barrier brought back people's thinking.

"Run." Leo gasped slightly and landed beside the people, speaking briefly as always.

Among the people rescued this time were Clark's colleagues at the Daily Planet.

Don't know what happened to Louise and Clark.Leo thought with some concern.

The people left under the urging of the nearby police officers. The police officers gave Leo a solemn look, and their eyes stayed on the large bloodstain on his chest for a while.

"Quick." Leo urged the police colleague.

"Evacuate too, Leo," said the officer.

"I'll wait a little longer." Leo refused.

"Bush is waiting for you ahead, the rescue team's medical equipment should be here soon." The policeman continued to persuade.

You have to go to therapy.

"...No need." Leo pursed his lips and replied.

Ordinary treatment is useless.

No matter how worried the police were, they could only hurry up and evacuate together with the citizens. Not long after he left, Connor landed beside Leo.

"Several blocks east," Connor said curtly, "I saw Bruce Wayne."

Leo's words got stuck in his throat.

Bruce...

Bruce left behind the troublesome clown, and he came for him.

But even if Bruce came, he could only see him in a mess covered in blood, he didn't want to...

After a few seconds, the operation of the ghost engine stopped, and it seemed that the superman who didn't know where was temporarily fixed it.

But it's not over yet, dozens of Kryptonians will come out of the ghost engine next.

The nasty aliens will try to reboot the machine.

"...Let's talk about business first," Leo didn't mention his father, he looked up at a military plane flying in the distance, and said the information Kyle had sorted out, "That plane is equipped with a ghost engine, Could destroy the thing above our heads, and the Kryptonians in it."

While he was speaking, an emergency capsule popped out from the alien spaceship above their heads. General Zod's female adjutant Fiora Orr straightened up from the cabin, as if intending to shoot down the plane. At the same time, Another malicious Kryptonian aircraft is also approaching the human military aircraft.

"I'll help them," Connor said knowingly.

"Go ahead," Leo said.

The blood bar can last for a while.

He is going to win.

"Leo..." Connor asked hesitantly before taking off, "Will you survive?"

He wanted a definite answer, whether this guardian who always liked to tease him would continue to be by his side.

"When it's over," Leo didn't answer, "go home with Timothy."

There is a high probability that he will die, and he may survive, but...

But the odds were too slim, and Leo had to make arrangements for the baby.

"...Leo!" Connor's voice was a little crying.

"Don't be so sad, Connor," Leo licked his lips as he felt the declining health bar, "I will try my best."

He'll try to survive - if it helps.

"Then you have promised me." Connor said stubbornly.

"Promise what?"

"You will live."

"..." Leo couldn't laugh or cry.

This is beyond his control.

He also wants to survive, he wants to find Matthew, he wants to go home, he wants to do things, he still wants to do a lot of things, there are still a lot of things he hasn't said, there are still many places he hasn't been to, and many things he hasn't had time to witness , how willing to die?

But he can't control it.

…Anyway, it didn’t rain in New York today, so he didn’t break his promise—no, he hasn’t made a promise yet, so how could he break his promise?

If Leo was alone, he might be shaking with fear, he might be dazed and anxious trying to save himself, but he had Connor, and Matthew, and Bruce, and many others.Knowing that he wasn't thinking of himself but them first when he was about to die effectively distracted him and made him more courageous.

He can be as brave as Alisa.

"Go, if you don't go, you will lose." Leo said in a slow tone.

Connor pursed his lips tightly, and disappeared in place with the sound of breaking through the air.

[You don't have much time, Leo. ] The Frisbee floats restlessly back and forth beside him.

【I know. 】

【Then hurry up, I don't want you to die! ] Kyle lost his temper with Leo for the first time, but neither of them cared about this little thing.

【Um. ] Leo replied.

Leo stood among the ruins.Dusty, surrounded by broken building debris and flattened vehicles, the streets are completely unrecognizable.

It used to be a prosperous commercial street, with people coming and going, talking and laughing, the daughter riding on her father's neck and blowing bubbles, and the old man basking comfortably in the sun in a wheelchair.

More than a dozen Kryptonians, one machine, they can destroy it all in a short time.

Leo took out his slightly damaged mobile phone and made a call.

The answer over there was very fast, and it was picked up almost as soon as Leo dialed.

"Leo!" Matthew's anxious voice came, "How are you?"

Just listening to Matthew's voice, Leo felt that the pain in his body was far away from him.

He is very relaxed.

Leo looked up to the sky.

The sunset light shone obliquely, illuminating the dusty sky above the metropolis like a rainbow after rain.

Behind the rainbow is the vast universe and stars, and Lal is on one of the stars.

At this time, perhaps because the time of death was approaching, he had already thought clearly and clearly.

He didn't hate Ral, not anymore.

He had been expecting Lal to save him, even if he just met him and said a few words, that would be enough.He doesn't expect much.

But...but it's over.

He knew Lal wouldn't come.

His chances of saving himself are slim.

"I..." Leo didn't know how to answer, his eyes were a little wet, "...I miss you, Matt."

He was almost amazed at his frankness.

Unfortunately not the time.

"Me too," said Matthew, "...I'll wait for you in New York, okay?"

"……not good."

"You've finally learned to ask for more?" Matthew said jokingly.

They all know what to expect.Leo could hardly keep his heart beating, it was slowly failing.

"Usually I've been letting you go," Leo said. "Now I don't want to."

"Okay, okay, then don't let me go." Matthew replied pretending to be relaxed.

They all pretended nothing happened.

The relaxed chat made Leo feel better.

Leo felt that he could still say what he wanted to say in one go.

"Matt, I..."

But he jammed again.

As usual, he had an excuse this time.

It would be too embarrassing to say it directly, and if he can't come back after saying this, then Matthew will regret for him for the rest of his life.

Well, there was only one reason from the beginning to the end, he was cowardly.

"...Anyway," Leo changed his words, and said in a relaxed and flat tone, "I did my best."

He tried his best, so he didn't have any regrets, and he could face death calmly, so he didn't have to worry about him.

He is lying.

He still has so much to do and say.

"...Well, good job, Leo." Matthew didn't expose Leo's lie.

His tone was calm and steady, as if he was routinely praising his fur mink.

"If I survive, I mean if," Leo said, "you'll be my meal ticket for life, Matt."

"It doesn't matter how long." Matthew paused, his tone became a little unstable, and it was difficult to control his emotions, "...as long as...you can survive."

Leo's heartbeat was slowing and weakening, and Matthew couldn't be more distressed.

He will lose him.

"I hope so," Leo said.

He wants to live.

"Well, I hope so," said Matthew.

Leo smiled and hung up the phone.

Above his head, the ghost engine exploded, pale flames almost burning the sky, and then was swallowed by the small black hole created by the collision of huge energy.Together with the Kryptonians inside it, none survived.

The ghost engine is destroyed, and there is no possibility of Krypton's revival.

The military plane that completed the mission flew away from the battlefield. Connor entangled Fiora Orr, who was still trying to pursue him under Zod's order. On the other side, Superman faced the leader of the Kryptonian invaders, General Zod. .

Superman and General Zod, who was hopeless but desperate for revenge, continued to fight in the city. On the other side, Fiora threw Connor mercilessly after a few simple fights, smashing through several buildings.

Connor will be fine, but there will be some pain. After all, he is still young and inexperienced.

There is still one last step left.

"Fiora Orr." Leo said in a low voice towards the female Kryptonian floating in the air at a height of [-] meters.

He believed that the other party could hear him.

The Kryptonian adjutant glanced at him, drifted silently for a while, and then appeared in front of him in an instant.

"Dying man," said the female Kryptonian coldly, "what do you want to do?"

Leo speculated on the situation.Since Fiora responded to his call, she knew him. She had been looking at Leo on the ground when she was in the ghost engine.

He is worthy of being the deputy commander who "observes meticulously and acts decisively" in the data.

"Leo Wayne," Leo corrected, and he continued, "You invaders have been doing nothing from the beginning. Soldiers, revival of a civilization is not accomplished by creating an environment and a lot of life."

And now, even your tools for "revival" have been completely destroyed.

You still want to call now, who to call, and what can you get?

Leo's health bar is slowly but continuously dropping, and time is running out.

Fiora could hear Leo's heartbeat and pulse continued to slow down, but the psychic didn't seem to care much about it.

In other words, he had already made a corresponding plan as soon as he was injured.

Fiora, who had been watching Leo since he came out, decided to see the psychic as a respectable enemy rather than an ant in the way.

"I know," Fiora replied. Of course she knew that it was pointless to continue fighting now. "As you said, I am a soldier."

Soldiers obey the orders of their officers.Since the chief is determined to choose this way, they will do it.

"A born soldier, huh?" Leo knew what Kryptonian "born" meant.The corresponding code is extracted from the genetic book, and it is born only for fighting and obeying orders. This kind of "natural" is completely different from the earth.

On Earth, "natural" means being both good at and loving, so you achieve greatness with enthusiasm, not the freakish, imposed gifts of the Kryptonians.

Alyssa is a born singer and singer, and Leo is a born handsome.

"Yes." The soldier replied.

She considers herself to be a born soldier indeed.

"There's no such thing as 'natural' in this world," says Leo.

Genes do not determine what you are really suitable for, and no one's thinking should be limited by genes.

Leo was trying to direct the conversation.

"I was born to be a soldier," the female warrior said a little displeased, "that's how it is for Kryptonians, except for that Al."

For hundreds of years, only Kar-El was born by natural childbirth, and all other Kryptonians were created by the genetic book.The tome is the key to their survival.

"So only Carl has real parents," Leo said.

He rarely called Superman by his first name.

The life mechanism of Krypton breaks down the theory of family.Everyone has no father, no mother.They can form families, but have difficulty forming close relationships.

This is the regret of every Kryptonian for hundreds of years.

Regardless of the right to choose a career, they have no family from the beginning, only the Kryptonian AI who is in charge of tutoring.

Leo is trying to get at Kryptonian weaknesses.

"...What do you want to say?" Fiora became vigilant.

The concept of "family" made her, and the fighters who had always been unhesitating, hesitate a little.

Just a little.

She had to figure out what this earthling wanted to do.

"That Zod," ​​Leo said, "his insistence has become obsessive, no matter what I say, he can't negotiate."

Zod is beyond help.

But Fiora was different.She can talk.

Leo used the word "negotiation."

Fiora doesn't know what Leo wants to do.She knew he wanted to save the planet, but negotiate?is it possible?

"What bargaining chip do you have?" The soldier couldn't help but followed his topic.

Leo was gradually taking the initiative, but that was nothing compared to what he might say.

He might say something amazing, enough to save Krypton.

After all, there are not many things that can be called "chips" in such a war.

"Don't worry, soldier," Leo said, and he really didn't seem to be in a hurry. "Know Rockstar?"

"...What do you want to say?" The female soldier's expression immediately became vigilant.

It seems that Star R still has a great reputation in the universe?thought Leo.

This facilitates negotiations.

"I'm not a pure-blooded Earthling," Leo said, "The other half is from..."

He said the name of Rockstar in Kryptonian.

Although I don't know the status of Star R in the universe, the technology it represents, which is much higher than that of Krypton, must have a certain deterrent effect.

"What?" Fiora couldn't hide her surprise, "You don't have to lie."

She could tell that Leo was about to die, and a dying person would not be able to tell lies, but...

This is too unbelievable?

The development of things was somewhat beyond Leo's expectations, but it was not bad.

It seems Rockstar is much more complicated than he imagined.thought Leo.An aggressive overlord?A treacherous race?A group of destroyers?Nothing more than these.

Looks like he really needs to check out the planet if he survives.

"I'm not lying," Leo said, "I just mean, I know something unique."

"... Does a bloodline prove anything? What's more, you are already dying." Fiora quickly believed Leo's statement, even if the "bloodline" he said was not true, he knew something was certain.

At least he knows that there is such a planet in outer space.

Fiora saw that Leo's time was limited, and she didn't want to accompany him to make the foreshadowing.

She was eager to get to the point, and heard the good news that she didn't know what it was.

Yes, good news.Leo must have enough chips in his hands.

"Okay, okay," Leo said, "let's get down to business, remember Candor?"

It was a city on Krypton.

What's Leo doing with this?

"Go on," Fiora said.

Her breathing was a little short at what Leo might say, she had lost the negotiation.

"It hasn't been destroyed, including its people—but they are all still alive," Leo finally released his hole card, "I know whose hands it is in."

Fiora finally stopped suppressing the shock in her heart.

Krypton is not completely destroyed.A city, millions of people, they are still alive.

The sporadic soldiers here can't be compared with a city at all.

A city represents a complete system, the essence of a civilization.

That means rebuilding the planet, and hope.

hope.

Ironically, the orphan sent to Earth from Krypton calls himself "Hope".

"...what do you want?" Fiora asked.

Leo didn't say where they were, and that was a bargaining chip.

She needs to pay accordingly.

"You intruders are put in prison," Leo demanded. "You, alone."

Prison is the Phantom Zone.

[Kay, let Connor go to the Fortress of Solitude to ask Joe for the Phantom Zone projector. 】

【OK. 】

Leo can choose a simpler approach. He can use a small circle with a red sun ray to trap the Kryptonian in front of him, but right now there is a more powerful way to win.

"How can you guarantee that you will keep your promise after we are imprisoned?" Fiora said calmly, "Besides, you are about to die."

"I have family, companions, and they will keep their promises," Leo finally smiled, finally illuminating his face through the sunset light reflected from the dusty sky, "it can't be any worse for you, do you think Woolen cloth?"

Leo didn't want to do any more senseless killings.

Many people died on Earth, and so did Krypton.Zod can no longer be saved, but Fiora, the only remaining enemy besides Zod, still has some sense, and there is no need to kill her.

There have been enough casualties during this time that even the enemy should not continue to be part of the casualty figure.

All he has been doing is one thing, reducing casualties.

Fiora considers Leo's proposal.

There is no better choice.At any rate, there is still a glimmer of hope for the transaction, and she cannot refuse.

"...Then what about General Zod?"

She already guessed the answer.

"As I said, he can't negotiate." Leo's expression remained unchanged.

Fiora felt cold hands and feet.

She could guess something, but if she thought about it carefully, she couldn't grasp anything.She couldn't believe that Leo had formulated a perfect anti-killing plan based on scattered information, and even arranged everyone's ending.

The calmer, negotiable Fiora was sentenced to prison.

Zod was sentenced to death by Leo.

Chips are the only and last hope for all Kryptonians.

She had no doubt that as long as Leo gave the order, the Kryptonian half-blood boy would kill Zod during the battle between Cal and Zod.Or, on a more gentle note, Leo could cut off the sun's power supply to Zod, leaving him as a normal human being swarmed and killed by angry townspeople.

Leo is more than capable of doing it.

"...I agree to make a deal," the female adjutant finally said, "I will cooperate with you, military advisor."

Only then did she realize that Leo was not a fighter, even though all appearances indicated that he was a psychic who liked to face the enemy head-on.

He is a strategist who can reverse everything, a think tank.

She has lost.
