Swanvik moved quickly, and Bruce and Clark received his message just after eating.

As Bruce had expected, the Ministry of Defense asked Clark to speak in person tomorrow morning.

But Clark was a little reluctant.

Bruce asked with a smile, "Are you worried about slipping up?"

"No." Clark wanted to say, I just wanted to go with you, but he held back and said, "I know what to tell them."

I don't know if Bruce believed his words, and replied: "I can take you there and wait for you in the car."

Clark nodded: "Okay."

"There is a high probability that the negotiation will collapse tomorrow morning. Maybe they will let you share Kryptonian technology." Bruce said, walked to the workbench, entered a series of keywords, and the information of the main officials of the Ministry of Defense appeared on the screen one by one. On, "Even if Swanwick is on our side, these people may not be."

"I know." Although Clark doesn't care about politics, he understands the situation more or less by reading the news every day. He has seen a lot of political party disputes and conflicts of interest.

Bruce said, "I thought you thought all humans were good."

"How is it possible? Although I am a Kryptonian, I grew up on Earth anyway."

Yes, he grew up on Earth.Bruce suddenly thought with emotion that when Clark had helped humans for so long and humans came to judge him instead, he would still choose to sacrifice himself without hesitation.He is not only protecting humans, but also protecting his own home.

Therefore, after his death, some media discussed whether what Superman did was worthwhile. There was endless debate for a while. People who once opposed the existence of Superman also changed their normal behavior and went to his memorial square to lay flowers in mourning.

But Clark doesn't think about whether it's worth it or not. This is his natural choice. It's too superficial and narrow to measure his behavior by whether it's worth it.

"Bruce?"

Clark suddenly called out to him, pulling him back from his thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" Clark asked.

"Nothing." Bruce said discreetly, "It's just a speculation about Zod's possible strategy."

"I think what you said before makes sense." Clark thought of what Bruce told him on the way back, "Even if Zod hasn't lost his manpower over the years, but there are only a few Kryptonians, he shouldn't be blind To start a war with me, it is most likely to seek my cooperation first."

On one side is the earth, and on the other side is its own parent star.Bruce pondered for a while, then asked, "Carl, don't worry about what I think. Assuming, I mean assuming, Zod didn't attack the earth, would you cooperate with him and hand over the tome?"

Clark thought for a while, then shook his head, and said, "No. Zod's ultimate goal is to rebuild Krypton, so he wants to get the book and find a habitable planet. Although the universe is so big, even if Krypton Destruction, and not finding another suitable place, shows that there are not so many choices. The earth is at his fingertips, and he will not give up easily."

The direction he said is roughly the same as what Bruce experienced. In other words, Clark analyzed Zod's motivation extremely thoroughly.He suddenly wanted to know what Clark had experienced before the war, so he asked, "So what do you think?"

Clark hesitated, but under Bruce's gaze, he opened his mouth cautiously: "Actually, I don't want to go to war with General Zod, Bruce, you may not be very happy when I say this, but I really think so. Don't get me wrong, I mean, I just want him to get off Earth and not covet it, even though I know it's unlikely, but I'll try."

After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Bruce's expression, as if worried that he would be angry.

However, Bruce didn't show the slightest bit of displeasure. Instead, he said relievedly, "I can understand, Carl."

Therefore, the Clark who has passed away is very likely to end Zod under the last resort. The situation forces him to make a choice between Krypton and Earth. There is no best way to get the best of both worlds.

But no one knows.

The world only knows that Superman defeated General Zod, and that battle caused the death of thousands of innocent people. No one wants to know that Superman gave up his home planet behind it.

After that battle, Superman became the only Kryptonian left in the universe.

Why not find out sooner?This is not something that is difficult to deduce.Bruce wondered angrily again, if he hadn't been dazzled by anger at the time, would he have been able to avoid the tragedy?

Bruce patted him on the shoulder and said in relief: "Didn't I say that no matter what happens, I will stand by your side. I believe in you, Carl, and you will make the right decision."

Relieved, Clark said, "Thank you, Bruce."

Thinking of the messy metropolis after the war, Bruce reminded him: "If you go to war with General Zod, remember to stay away from the city and try to lure him to no man's land."

"I will."

"Carl, remember, you are not alone, we are a team. Zod is the first challenge we face together. Maybe I am just an ordinary person compared to you, but I will do my best. help you."

"No, Bruce, you've done enough."

Perhaps because the topic they were talking about was too serious, Bruce changed the subject: "No, there is something I can't help you with."

Clark really subconsciously asked, "What?"

Bruce said as a matter of course: "Remember the reason for your leave? You told Perry that you were going to talk to an exclusive news, and I couldn't make the job in a few days. I can't help you."

"Bruce!" Clark obviously panicked. If Bruce hadn't reminded him, he would have really forgotten about it, but where would he go to find news now?While saving the world is important, keeping your job is just as important!

Bruce blinked his eyes: "How about you cooperate with Louise Lane to write a special issue of General Zod, you only need to provide her with some irrelevant information, and let her free the rest, which will ease the burden on you." You have a lot of work."

"I write it myself!"

Bruce: "..."

Clark didn't understand why Bruce always mentioned Louise in front of him. He recalled it carefully, as if he didn't have much intersection with her, and there was no possibility of being misunderstood.

Similarly, Bruce also couldn't figure out why Clark and Louise were so in love in that time and space, but now they seem to be strangers, and even Clark is still wary of her everywhere.

What went wrong?

Early the next morning, Bruce sent Clark to a base designated by the Ministry of Defense according to the agreed time. As expected, Bruce was stopped outside.

Clark wanted to take him in with him, but Bruce refused.

The main buildings of this base are all located underground, and Clark had seen through them all before entering.Presumably this was a command center, and some of the rooms had nuclear-proof doors that contained lead, so he couldn't see what was inside.All he could be sure of was that about a regiment of troops had been deployed here, and there were some new weapons that he couldn't name, all of which were hidden underground and ready to go.

The Ministry of Defense is afraid of him.There was no doubt about it, he didn't care.

But Clark was not sure whether these politicians and generals would use Bruce as a bargaining chip in negotiations, so he wanted him to stay within his sight.

"Don't be so nervous, they will take me to the reception room, don't forget, I am Bruce Wayne."

Yeah, he's Bruce Wayne, and the battle-hardened Batman.Clark was blocked by his words, and after thinking twice, he said to the major who came to meet him: "I can see all the movements of the base. If there is any accident with Bruce, I will terminate the negotiation at any time."

Bruce glanced at Clark in surprise, wondering if Superman would threaten people?

As Bruce said, the conversation did not go well this time. Clark was handcuffed as soon as he entered, and was dragged into a closed room like a trial.

One of the walls in the room was a one-way mirror, and Clark saw people standing behind the mirror, including Swanwick.

Clark turned his head and stared at Swanwick intently.

"He seems to be able to see us."

I don't know who said something in a low voice.

Clark gave him an affirmative answer: "Yes, I can see all of you. In fact, my line of sight can penetrate everything I want to penetrate. The entire base is transparent to me. Your security is very important. It's not a threat to me."

He stood up as he spoke, and the handcuffs fell apart without any effort.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the crowd behind the mirror gasp.

Clark got up and walked leisurely in the direction of Swanwick, saying, "If these handcuffs can give you enough sense of security, I will put them on. I just want to tell you that I It will not be an enemy of mankind."

As he got closer, Clark noticed that almost everyone, with the exception of Swanwick, took a step back.

"Why should we trust you, Mr. Superman?" Swanwick asked.

Clark said calmly: "Because I want to cooperate with you, it is not a request. I don't care whether you are on my side. I can solve Zod by myself. To be honest, I will choose to negotiate with humans, completely It’s because of Bruce Wayne. I stayed on Earth because of him, General, I hope you can understand that it’s not me who is passive, but you, and you have no choice.”

He was completely different from the Superman Swanwick saw yesterday afternoon. He was low-key and restrained behind Bruce, but here he was aggressive and sharp-edged.

Superman is telling him that Earth is safe only because of Bruce.Swanvik understood his intentions.

For human beings, Superman is invincible, but he also has weaknesses.Normally a weakness is a weakness - but that was Bruce Wayne, the one at the top of the social hierarchy they couldn't handle.

He was right, they had no choice.

"So what do you want us to do, Mr. Superman?"

Clark recalled the tactical steps of the planetary invasion that Joe told him, and said: "Within a week, notify all the military bases you can command and put them into a state of readiness. You are more professional than me in tactics, General. What I hope is that you don't Believe anything Zod said easily, and stand firm. Based on what I know about him, when he approaches the earth, he will definitely send a message to tell you that you only need to hand me over to them, and he will form a bond with human beings. as an ally."

"He won't," Swanwick said.

"As I said, you are more professional than me in this area, General. He will let you relax your vigilance, and then directly modify the earth's gravity field."

Swanvik knew what he was alluding to, and heard his sarcasm, and said: "You seem to know humans very well."

"Of course, I know a lot more than you think. Don't forget, I'm from Krypton."

"We'll think about it carefully, Mr. Superman."

When Superman was taken out, Bruce was sitting in the reception room reading the newspaper, and was a little surprised to see Clark come out.

Neither of them wanted to stay for a long time, so they left here soon.

"You came out so fast," Bruce asked as he drove, "how did it turn out?"

"Not bad." Clark said with a relaxed face, "I didn't agree to any of their requests."

Bruce asked suspiciously, "Is that the end of the conversation?"

"of course not."

Bruce's eyes were even more incredible now.

"I just scare them a little bit," Clark said jokingly.

Bruce was stunned for a long time, then laughed: "You've learned badly, Carl."

Clark shrugged indifferently, changed the subject, and said, "By the way, Bruce, I want to go home tomorrow."

"To find Martha?"

"Ah."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other tacitly, but said nothing.

-

A week later, the Zod spaceship.

"General, your video signal has been intercepted."

Zod looked surprised, and before he could speak, the artificial intelligence of the console broadcast a report: "Weapon threat detected." Immediately, the spaceship shook for a while, obviously being hit by the protective shield.

Zod sullenly said, "What is it?"

The artificial intelligence paused for a few seconds, and replied: "General Zod, it is the most powerful weapon for mankind at present, the nuclear bomb."

"..."
