Chapter 164 Wonder Woman's Pink Pill
Chapter 164 Wonder Woman's Pink Pill
This is Batman's underground base in Metropolis.
There are about 20 Doomsdays crouching here, densely packed together.
It truly was Doomsday; each of them possessed grotesque bone spurs and bulging muscles. Although they differed in facial features, details, and even gender, each one was the real deal.
"It's...it's really unbelievable."
Lucius circled the Doomsdays, which stood silently there, twice, and then punched them twice with his fists.
"This is unbelievable!" he exclaimed repeatedly. "Does Luther really have the ability to create such a monster?"
He said, somewhat frantically, "This isn't scientific, this doesn't make sense! I've studied Doomsday for so long, and I've only just figured out their cellular structure—to be more specific, it's like unwrapping a gift; I've only just peeled off the ribbon!"
He glared at the Doomsdays: "But Luthor has already copied the same model?!"
"This is something Luther could never do! Bruce, you haven't studied Doomsday in depth, you have no idea how difficult this is. Doomsday doesn't have human internal organs or systems, it's just a weapon, a weapon that purely absorbs energy."
The seasoned scientist, suddenly enraged, waved his hand, appearing somewhat vulnerable: "If Luther really could replicate Doomsday in such a short time using only his lower body, I would...
He pointed to the microscope on the table and said, "Let's eat the microscope!"
"That's absolutely true. Luther created them with his own intelligence and watched them grow from embryos into the behemoths that are now three or four meters tall. There's absolutely no problem with them. Luther sees them as his ultimate trump card."
"'Luther' will take them."
Lucius keenly noticed the points emphasized in Chen Tao's words.
He turned around and walked to the worktable next to him: "So, is there anything I can do?"
Chen Tao took out a remote control and pressed a button. Then, the Doomsdays marched with a pace even more uniform than human soldiers standing at attention, turned around and walked out of the room, obediently returning to their storage room, which was covered with layers of lead to prevent any possibility of spying.
Chen Tao then turned to Lucius and said, "..."
……
……
……
Inside a fast food restaurant on the street, Chen Tao, wearing a half-face mask and dressed in a Batman costume, sat with Wonder Woman Diana, who was dressed in casual clothes.
hiss……
Looking at the curious gazes directed at him because of his clothes, Chen Tao regretted wearing his uniform to meet Diana.
I should have just told him to put on a mask.
"I am Batman!" Chen Tao repeated to those around him, "That's right, I am Batman!"
"Oh, so it's cosplay..."
"That cosplay outfit is so cool! Where did you buy it?"
"Are you going to a comic convention?"
"..."
After a while, the excessive attention finally subsided.
Chen Tao composed himself, then, facing Diana, spoke in a low, hoarse voice, as if phlegm were stuck in his throat:
"I think Steve or Ms. Waller would go crazy if they saw the two of us together."
"Hmm." Diana slurped up her drink, the superhuman suction allowing her to finish the entire cup of cola in one gulp, and then she swallowed the whole hamburger in her hand in one go.
She had already eaten quite a lot, as could be seen from the three family buckets that Chen Tao had ordered for her.
With her powerful bite and cheeks strong enough to withstand missile strikes, the hamburger was squeezed flat in her mouth without spilling a drop, and then she swallowed it down with a gulp.
"My silence doesn't mean I'm stupid," Diana said irritably. "There's no need to so blatantly try to drive a wedge between me and Steve and the others."
The heroine had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized something. She narrowed her eyes and said with a half-smile:
"Wow, you deliberately used a low-level divisive tactic to make me see through it, reminding me that I can't just blindly follow Steve and Ms. Waller's orders. You're something else."
I completely understand now.
Chen Tao snorted in response, then picked up the hamburger in his hand and took a bite like a normal human being.
Wonder Woman appears to be a naive Amazonian warrior, but just as Superman seems like a big goofball, there are no simpletons among the Justice League's Big Three. It's just that, apart from Batman, the other two don't really like to use their brains.
Hmm... but there really are idiots among the Seven Giants, I won't say who they are.
Diana said irritably, "Alright, let's skip the beating around the bush and get to the point. What brings you here today?"
"I'm sending you weapons."
Chen Tao took out a small pink pill and gave it to her. He had given this same pill to Superman before.
"What is this?"
"The Brainiac we're facing this time is a telepath."
Chen Tao told her, "I have every reason to believe that this super AI will use telepathic abilities."
"Of course, we are not without countermeasures."
Chen Tao said, "But in order to prevent the worst-case scenario from happening, we probably have to make preparations."
"If our telepaths can't stop Brainiac's mind control over all our combatants, then take this pill before you feel yourself being controlled by Brainiac."
He slipped the pink pill into Wonder Woman's hand.
Wonder Woman took out another hamburger and swallowed it whole.
She held the pill bottle, saying nothing, and continued eating her fast food bite by bite.
A somewhat awkward silence fell between the two of them.
A dozen seconds later, Diana put down the family bucket that she had devoured all by herself and elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin.
Her eating posture just now was extremely unrefined, like a starving ghost reincarnated, but now when she wipes her mouth, she is so elegant and luxurious, as if she is not eating fast food, but royal cuisine carefully prepared for her by tens of thousands of servants.
Chen Tao was certain that even if Queen Elizabeth II were to rise from her grave and become 80 years younger, she could not imitate this innate nobility. Only at this moment did Diana finally appear somewhat like a demigod.
Then, in the next second, Diana smiled slightly. In an instant, her demeanor changed once again.
The elegant princess removed her long dress, tied up her loose hair, picked up her round shield, and brandished her sword. The war cries of the Amazons seemed to echo in her ears.
Diana Prince, a valiant female warrior, took the pink pill like a drawn sword without uttering a single word.
Chen Tao blinked. He had originally thought that gaining the other party's trust would require some persuasion. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but Diana had already strode towards the entrance of the fast food restaurant like a raging fire.
Chen Tao immediately stood up and said, "Steve and Ms. Waller might ask you for this bottle of medicine. They might try to persuade you not to accept this last resort, but you don't..."
"Okay. Thank you for reminding me, and thank you for treating me today."
The Amazon warrior stood at the entrance of the fast food restaurant. She turned her head and smiled slightly, saying, "I enjoyed this meal very much, my comrade."
She waved the pills in her hand and said, "As for this, I accept the thorough preparations. I look forward to fighting alongside you."
Chen Tao opened his mouth, but Wonder Woman had already disappeared from the store like a wisp of smoke.
So Chen Tao sat back down in his seat and picked up his unfinished fast food...
There wasn't any left; Wonder Woman ate his portion too.
So Chen Tao sighed and walked up to the cashier.
"Sir, would you like to order anything else?"
The cashier spoke to the strange man in front of her, who was wearing a half-face mask and a Batman cosplay outfit.
He had already noticed that Diana had just devoured all the food on the table in a whirlwind of speed; it would be difficult to eat without attracting attention.
Cosplay gets boring after a while; it's much more interesting to watch slim girls eating heartily.
Get out of my way! Your black cloak is blocking my view of the mukbang star!
In short, he watched the whole thing.
So he now thought Chen Tao was going to order another meal to fill his stomach.
"If she knew you were spying on her, she would definitely have a falling out with you."
"What did you say, sir?"
The cashier, puzzled, dutifully offered her recommendation:
"We've launched the Bat Family Bucket, which includes a set of plush toys of the Bat Mom, Bat Dad, and Bat Baby, plus a limited-edition red hood."
"Don't even think about using that bottle of medicine for research. If you have any sense at all, you don't want your relationship with her to fall apart."
The cashier felt ignored.
"Would you like to order, sir?"
He continued his enthusiastic pitch: "Or you could try ordering the Joker Family Bucket, which comes with a free toy bomb and a toy crowbar..."
Chen Tao rambled on a bit: "She's someone who cherishes friendship. Although she's incredibly intelligent and knows that your friendship with her isn't entirely pure, she's still willing to do what she can for her friends without violating her principles. To some extent, I think this is a kind of kindness that's easily taken advantage of."
After trying for a while, the cashier realized the man was still talking incoherently and became a little impatient: "Sir, if you don't order..."
"Please, let me finish." Chen Tao pressed down on the cashier in front of him with such force that the cashier rolled her eyes and couldn't speak.
"I'm sorry," Chen Tao apologized politely. "I'll just say a few more words and then I'll leave."
"But her kindness is not endless, and I feel obligated to remind you what the bottom line and boundaries are in doing things."
Chen Tao said, "Don't think that just because she's here to help you, she's one of your agents, okay?"
He said to the computer on the cashier's counter, "This time I found out. If I'm not the one who finds out next time, then you probably won't have a next time."
Chen Tao tapped on the computer in front of the cashier: "Say something so I know you understand what I'm saying."
Chen Tao released the cashier, and his first instinct was to shout, "Security! Security—"
sizzle...
The cashier stared blankly at the computer in front of her, a computer she had used countless days and nights.
Suddenly, a voice he had never heard before appeared above him.
"I understand, Batman."
Immediately afterwards, he heard a series of clicking sounds. The cashier looked up and saw the ever-present surveillance camera above him immediately lower its head and focus on the customer in front of him.
The surveillance footage revealed it to be Colonel Steve Trevor and Amanda Waller.
The cashier was speechless.
Has someone hacked into this computer?
He had secretly browsed some things on this computer before...
"Guest, who is this...? Could someone be...?"
The cashier looked down at his computer and tried to move the mouse, but there was no response.
"What's going on?"
He looked up, and Batman had vanished without a trace.
……
……
……
Gotham.
After so many years, Nightwing, formerly known as the first Robin Dick Grayson, has finally returned to the Batcave.
This is the place that holds his memories; he is intimately familiar with every blade of grass and every tree here.
In the years since leaving the Batcave, he has been busy fighting all sorts of enemies, including dangerous criminals like the Prankster King and super-terrifying enemies like Deathstroke.
He and Batman hadn't spoken for many years, and his only memory of the other was of Batman's manic state after losing the second Robin, Jason Todd.
He did not agree to the Third Robin's request for him to return and continue as Robin. Later, he heard that the child had inherited his identity and become the Third Robin, and he was genuinely happy for him.
During this time, he was busy fighting against Deathstroke. The Titans, which he built from scratch, greatly boosted his career. He was no longer fighting alone, and things became easier for him. However, his grudge against Deathstroke did not disappear as a result; instead, it became more complicated.
But for some reason, Deathstroke suddenly disappeared from the battle. Dick's informant in the underworld told him that Deathstroke had taken on a huge job, and the deposit alone was a lot of money. The other party was greedy for money, so he just abandoned them.
This angered Dick, who felt that the other party had given up fighting him for money, as if their battle was nothing more than a child's game.
He originally planned to lead the entire Titans in a proactive attack to continue the pursuit of Deathstroke, but at that moment Batman also happened to send him a communication request, asking for his help.
The other party's words were very urgent; Batman had never asked for his help in such a tone before.
So Dick ultimately chose to put aside Deathstroke and help Batman first.
However, Dick never expected that when he stepped into the Batcave, the first thing he would see was Deathstroke's large, orange-and-black face.
