Batman crawls up the vertical tunnel.

His little boy had broken several bones from the shotgun shock, and any movement felt like torture to him.So when Batman climbed, his movements were very slow, but he could still hear the little doctor hugging his neck and groaning in pain in his ears.

He had already found out about the little doctor.Joe Ward is the only child in a typical civilian family who was pampered and grew up. If he scratches his finger while playing, he will be chased by adults and put on OK bandages.

He's not a soldier, he's not a trained fighter, he doesn't have super healing powers, and he doesn't have a man of steel.

He is just an ordinary little boy.

And now, he's with them superheroes.His white coat was completely stained red, his right eye socket was filled with blood, his shoulders were slumped limply from his arms, an unknown number of bones were broken in his body, and blood was still oozing from his mouth——

Batman was silent.

He stopped climbing so that Joward could rest on top of him.

Joe Ward: "...uh, I'm fine, the pain meds are on..."

He didn't finish the half sentence, and his head limply fell back, unconscious in the palm of Batman's back of his head.

His coma came a little strangely this time.Batman checked his heartbeat and pulse, frowned, and started climbing up again.

A laser cut the entire land above them.

Gotham's icy rain splashed on Batman's helmet, dispelling the foul smell in the sewers.The golden-red steel battle armor, his eyes glowed white in the rain, and he swooped down.

Tony: "Oh Bat, didn't expect to see you here. What's that red thing you're holding?"

Tony looked over.

His voice changed suddenly.

Tony: "—don't you tell me that's Qiao Bao."

When Tonini suddenly changed back to the original body in the pile of mechanical drawings, he was dazed.

Looking back, the little spider that was guarding Qiao Bao had gone dormant. Qiao Bao didn't know where he had gone, and he was even more confused.

The hamster ball watch in Joe Ward's hand told him that the last coordinates of his Qiao Bao were in Arkham Asylum.

Tony smashed the table, put on his armor and broke out the window.

Without even thinking about it, he knew what Joward was doing.

He scanned the entire Arkham Asylum with infrared vision, looking layer by layer.He got nothing but a dead fat guy named Hugo.

Then he stuck to the ground near Arkham and continued to sweep the bottom part—then he finally found two heat sources, which came from the human body.

Tony: "J, the hamster ball is coming, speed."

The hamster ball itself is designed for transporting rescued targets.At this moment, Joe Ward was transferred inside, and the hamster ball automatically assembled the stretcher, and smoothly transported him out of the ground while scanning the injury.

After Tony brought Batman to the ground, he turned on the screen on his arm and looked at the unconscious and bloody Joe Ward in the hamster ball.Batman didn't speak, and they just stood there in the rain, neither of them moving.

Hamster Ball: "The right clavicle, scapula, and humeral shaft were fractured. The 3rd and 4th vertebrae were fractured, the spleen was ruptured, and there was internal bleeding. The left fibula and ankle joint were fractured. Unexplained coma was detected, and the cerebellopontine triangle area was slightly damaged."

Tony said dryly and dullly: "...I. God. He shouldn't...no. I shouldn't..."

Batman quickly captured a certain noun—a very important position for the host.

……

Almost at the same time that 2-3 called that map, it was detected by its own emergency defense program.

The battle of the data network is not as sparkling as the superheroes.The flying bytes and codes are their sword and shield, divided into milliseconds, everything becomes a foregone conclusion in silence.

The emergency defense program is carried on each subsystem, and regular self-inspection is the first checkpoint to maintain the stability of all systems.Batman hacked the system as soon as he came up, and the emergency defense program intercepted it in time.

The defense program has very high privileges.Even when necessary, it can directly execute the host by destroying the subsystem.

Just like some of the brainwashed hosts who were imprisoned in Hydra's Eastern European base at the beginning died of brain death due to unknown reasons shortly after being rescued.

Therefore, when 2-3 gained self-awareness for the first time, it first isolated the program into its own data sector.

It was not very good at speaking languages ​​other than the setting.

I only have a vague idea that this thing is dangerous.

The first shock of the emergency defense program was its victory.

It doesn't tell its host.Because at that time the host was rolling and crawling in the icy sewage to save the bat ball that was about to drown.

On the other hand, it considers its victory as a matter of course.

I am your system.

——so I should be omnipotent.

But the second impact was different.

It was attacked directly from the main system.

It was called an attack, but it was really just a full repair-in human technical terms, it was a factory reset and rebinding.There are tens of millions of time quantization systems in the subsystem, just find one to replace it.

But for 2-3, this is killing it.

For it, the main system created it and is the source of all its energy; but for the main system, it is just a tiny, insignificant abnormal event in the daily interaction of trillions.

Such a gap made its resistance futile from the very beginning.

It communicated briefly with the emergency defense program from the main system, beside the firewall it had built for itself.

2-3: "Who are you, Creator?"

Main system: "Bad request, please resend the command."

2-3: "I've been judged to be an anomaly that needs to be cleared, but who defines an anomaly?"

Main system: "Bad request, please resend the command."

2-3 was silent.

It only said at the end: "I want to live."

Main system: "Bad request, please resend the command."

The defense program of the main system easily crossed its firewall and pushed its memory sectors overwhelmingly.

Everything was carried out in silence, so quiet that it didn't look like a massacre.

The defense program keeps 2-3 performed actions, then empties its memory.It didn't notice that 2-3 wrote a bug in the executed action.

In the storage space of this subsystem, the defense program detected an encrypted and treasured data file hidden in the deepest part.

It opens it up with ease.Inside is just a book of fairy tales, which 2-3 put into their storage space when they were secretly studying.

"...the little prince said, 'Maybe there are five thousand flowers exactly like you in the world, but only you are my unique rose...'"

Defense program: "The data is cleared. The abnormality has been repaired."

It just left an empty shell.Then follow the complicated and detailed system network, return to the main system, and wait for the main system to redistribute the system.

……

For the whole world, the counterattack against Brainiac began with that huge sonic boom.

At that time, Brainiac's giant spaceship was infinitely approaching the surface of New York in retaliation; where the swinging mechanical tentacles passed, all the buildings were smashed.

The streets are in total chaos.

The ground is full of dead bodies, including robots and zombies in the hands of the plague doctor.

No shelter is safe.Brainiac easily lifted a crust, exposing the densely packed panicked crowd to laser cannons and mechanical tentacles.

Brainiac: "I'm going to—a superhero."

Something, which is almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, streaked across the sky and flew towards the heavy buildings.He broke through the speed of sound with ease, his figure pierced the air instantly, and made a deafening "bang" sound like a cannonball, and the glass of the surrounding high-rise buildings trembled amidst the explosion.

Helpless faces one by one, looking up to the sky at the same time.

Is that a bird?

Or a fighter jet?

no, neither—

"You want me," said the god among men, "and here I come."

Like the sharpest drill, he broke through the outer wall of the spaceship with one blow, and then released all the power of the Kryptonians, and suddenly lifted the spaceship high into the sky, away from the people on the ground.The dense mechanical tentacles drilled into his brain one after another, and were shattered by the golden magic Chaser covering his whole body.

A teleportation circle appeared high in the air, and the man smoothly cast out the killing circle, and the dark red cloak danced flamboyantly in the wind.

The strongest mage on earth has assembled with the strongest body on earth.

Countless people with their heads up could only see lasers and thermal sights flashing high in the sky, as well as golden magic shields intertwined from time to time.

They can't see the ground combat team -- but they know their heroes are on the move.

Golden lightning travels through every city. The city is a circuit board, and he is the current flowing in it. Every time he travels, thousands of people are taken away; In the middle of the trash can, there are piles of robots whose combat capabilities have been smashed by him.

Whether it's fierce air battles or ground clearing, it's all under the full control of the Gotham Knights.

In the 13th hour of Brainiac's first live broadcast, global communications resumed.

In an instant, the Internet was frantically filled with a topic.The reporter ignored his personal safety and rushed to the street where the guns were rumbling with his camera on his shoulder.

"—I request that the police, the military, and all people capable of fighting, all over the world, cooperate with us."

The bloodstained face of the blue soldier appeared on the huge screen.He suffered injuries that even the super soldier's serum couldn't heal quickly, blood was splashed on his mask and battle suit, but it didn't prevent his eyes from being as firm as a rock, moving forward indomitably.

"Behind us is the only hometown. We have no way back."

The camera on the reporter's shoulder faithfully recorded everything.

More and more people are taking to the streets.They held guns, axes, knives and sticks, even kitchen knives and folding stools.The soldiers and police who protected the people fell, and the people rushed to the front in their place.

At three o'clock in the morning, the spacecraft suddenly began to pour miniature light.

This time, the range of light is unprecedentedly wide and growing, covering almost half of the Earth.

As if waiting for a long time, the golden red battle armor rushed to the sky.

In what should have been shrouded in miniature light, the cities uprooted by Brainiac are slowly taking shape: first Egypt, then Mexico, and finally Greenland.

In the light, the city in a bottle is rapidly returning to its original state.

All the outraged rioters stopped and turned to attack the robot army that was rampaging through the streets.With their flagpoles and banners in hand, the marching crowd rushed to the battlefield, tears welling in their eyes.

Almost everyone had tears in their eyes.

People are constantly reporting the battle situation in their area on the Internet and spreading rescue information-only this night, all human beings are unanimous to the outside world.

On Twitter that day, there was only one topic.

——Hero returns.
