Chapter 112 General Zod vs. Superman’s mother (page 12)
Lex Luthor sits in his old mansion. Compared to the office, this is a more private space.
He did not accept the invitation of General Sam Lane, Lois Lane's father, to watch the small ceremony in which Superman surrendered to the Kryptonians at the military base.
That was more like a personal insult to him.
He has been locked up in the old house, and he has never even seen Superman who walked into the cage on his own initiative, let alone Lois Lane, who was captured and brought to justice within a few hours.
There was no one in the house, not even his female secretary was qualified to stay here.
The fire in the fireplace was slowly consuming the coals. Luther sat on the sofa and stared at the TV in front of him.
The ceremony was broadcast above. This was a real-time broadcast, and countless dignitaries, scientists, and politicians who could not make it to the scene were watching this contact with aliens together with Luther.
Luther hummed lowly, tapping his fingers on the small coffee table next to the sofa again and again.
Bata...bata...bata...
"The red cloak is coming...the red cloak is coming..."
He watched the red-cloaked Superman take the initiative to greet the aliens who came down from the spaceship.
"Speeding down the street to warn us...one light by land, two lights from the sky..."
(Adapted from a Revolutionary War-era alarm)
There is a painting hanging behind him: a perfectly symmetrical picture of angels and devils. This means there is no upper or lower way to hang the painting.
At this time, the devil of this painting was hung above. He turned his head and stared at the hanging painting, half of his face hidden in the shadows. He groaned softly:
"The devil does not come from hell...but comes from the sky."
On TV, the Kryptonian female lieutenant named Fiora asked Lois Lane to follow Superman into the Black Zero, and Lois did so.
Luther poured himself a glass of red wine and shook it.
With the sound of mechanical transmission, the floor behind his sofa suddenly flipped over, and a hidden laser gun suddenly emerged from under the slightly decayed pine board and was pointed directly at the corner next to it.
"Tsk."
Luther exhaled and put the wine glass on the coffee table with a soft thud.
Click, click, click, click, click!
Following his movements, the floor was lifted, vases deformed, and dozens of various messy weapons rose up from this room with old-school European-style furniture, densely aimed at that corner.
The sofa where Luther was sitting made a mechanical sound, and then a blue stance shield was put on his body.
The old-looking sofa floated up, turned Luther 180 degrees, and then quickly retreated.
"It's not a good idea to break into someone's home."
"If I press this button, you'll be reduced to a pulp by dozens of different weapons," he said.
"Then you blow up your own home just to destroy one of my communicators? Save it, Luther, I'm here to negotiate terms."
Luther pursed his lips. He saw fine black dust seeping through the cracks in the floor.
"And my communicator is useless."
These fine black dust condensed on the ground into a small car stereo, which even has Batman's iconic pointed ears.
"Some kind of nanobot? Fantastic cutting-edge science, Batman." Luthor said, "But other than that, we have nothing to talk about. You thought we were friends because we talked together on the radio. ?"
"I ask you not to interfere with our plan to fight Zod." Chen Tao's voice rang from the car stereo: "You want to kill Superman, you are hostile to Superman, OK, these are all fine, but not now, Earth We need to defeat General Zod, and then we can talk about the future.”
He continued to add without waiting for Luther to speak:
"Therefore, I am here to ask for a guarantee from you, Luther. I hope you have not forgotten the existence of Brainiac. The earth needs to unite everything that can be united."
"No more infighting."
Luther heard the other party say: "At this time, whoever fights among themselves is a traitor. Do you think I don't know about your degraded versions of parasitic demons? They are a group of beasts who cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. You and the people in the military will Their release will only interfere with Superman."
Luther slowly leaned back and crossed his fingers.
"Interfering with Superman?"
He repeated Chen Tao's words, and then said: "How ridiculous. Ha, ha, ha."
Chen Tao remained silent. Luther wanted to use the Joker as a pain point to stimulate him, but due to incorrect intelligence, this operation only showed a can of air.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Stupid!"
Luther angrily said:
"When we feel a crisis, the first thing that comes to our mind is not self-rescue, but 'Superman will definitely come'. How terrible is this!"
"When the world is really in crisis, we have no power to resist, but we just look at the sky and shout, 'Look, that's Superman!'?" Luthor accused:
"Batman, you shouldn't trust everything to Superman, he's just an alien!"
But it's clear that Batman isn't moved by his words.
"Whatever you say, Luthor. But Superman will always be the strongest fighting force at this stage, and the earth cannot give up borrowing his power."
At this point, there is nothing left to talk about. Luther knew that the next plot was about threats and counter-threats. So he took the initiative and said:
"Okay, okay, I promise you, I would never do that."
"I want you to say every word."
Luther blinked his eyes. He sighed again: "Okay. I swear, at least until I successfully deal with General Zod, I will never stab Superman or you in the back."
"Absolutely not. Are you satisfied?"
He heard the little car stereo say:
"Remember what you said, Luther. If you dare to break your promise, I will come for you."
Then Luther just watched as the small speaker spread again into tiny nanorobots, penetrated into the floor, and disappeared without a trace.

General Zod couldn't help but recall what his subordinate Ur, the chief scientist of Krypton, said to him dozens of minutes ago.
"We have found Carl's true identity in Lois Lane's memory."
At that time, on the Black Zero, Ur showed the screen to General Zod. Next to them were the unconscious Clark Kent and Lois Lane who was connected to the machine to read the memory.
This is why they specifically asked Lois Lane to board the spaceship with Kal-El. Carl only allowed this Earthling to take photos of him and publish them on their backward information dissemination medium called newspapers. There must be a connection between them.
"Kal-El—or should we call him Clark, the human name? The veil of his biological position left in Lois Lane's memory has been overcome by me. Insert here, the breathtaking application method, I also just said Discovering that when we are exposed to the yellow sun, our cells can... I'll get on with the business."
