The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 166 World Patch

Two weeks later, a brief conference call was sent to Li Zhen's communicator.

This is not the communicator used for previous temporary missions, but a custom-made one specially designed by the Justice League.

Currently, there are only about five superhumans who possess this special communicator: besides Lee Jung, Wonder Woman and Aquaman also have one.

The princess of Paradise Island and the king of Atlantis carefully maintained the stability of their respective peoples while also worrying about the world around them.

But eventually, some changes did occur.

"After the emergence of the Crime Syndicate, some people began to call for a complete League of Justice."

"Without a doubt, if Wonder Woman and Aquaman hadn't come to the rescue last time, the damage those guys could have caused to Fawcett City would have been unimaginable."

Where is the Flash? The Justice League has been claiming that the Flash is still recovering from serious injuries. Are there any questions worth considering behind this?

"Since Wonder Woman and Aquaman left the Justice League, this once most prominent superhero organization has fallen into an awkward predicament."

"There are simply not enough people. Even if Superman is super strong, he still can't be in two places at once. But there are so many crises in the world that require Superman."

""

Having arrived at the watchtower early, Li Zhen leaned lazily against the conference table, resting her chin on one hand and idly scrolling through her phone with the other.

Seeing the trending online posts calling for the Justice League to return to its full form, Li Zhen couldn't help but laugh.

"Unexpectedly, after Mr. Prince and the others left, the world's opinion of Superman improved dramatically."

It seemed as if it had never left the steel frame of the watchtower. It turned its head, and a brief blue light flashed in its electronic eyes.

"According to statistics, after the trust crisis, Superman's average number of times he needs to be deployed per day has increased by 70%. However, as Clark, he has a real job, which undoubtedly takes up all the time he can spare."

"Natural disasters, supervillains, terrorists—some of the large-scale rescue missions that Diana and Arthur could have handled have now all fallen on Superman's shoulders."

"Even ordinary people can see that since some members of the Justice League left, many criminals around the world have started to increase their activity."

"The number of incidents that Superman could handle in his spare time, such as armed robberies, petty theft, gang conflicts, and drug trafficking, has increased by 1,700 percent."

Li Zhen straightened up, let out a slightly exaggerated "Wow!", and then listlessly slumped back onto the table.

"Yes, ordinary people don't know why Wonder Woman and Aquaman left the Justice League. They only know that if they are accidentally robbed in an alley, shouting for help may not be able to summon Superman or any other superheroes."

"Add to that the Crime Syndicate issue, and people can't help but think, what if next time they encounter a criminal organization that can rival the Justice League, Wonder Woman and Aquaman are tied up with their respective clan's affairs?"

"Green Lantern and Flash have disappeared for several months again."

"Superman is likely to lose, and the Justice League is likely to lose."

"As a result, nobody is now considering the superman threat theory that Luther used to promote. The narrative has reversed—I've heard that you can now often see protest groups holding signs and chanting slogans outside the Justice Hall in New York."

"The regular weekly training schedule was also stopped more than 20 days ago."

Lee Jung's training program often lasts for dozens of hours straight, otherwise it wouldn't be effective at all. Nowadays, even Superman has to time his Justice League meetings down to the second.

While Li Zhen was chatting with Gang Gu, the other members who had received the communication finally arrived at the watchtower in batches.

Superman, who usually arrives either first or last, after Batman, now had an indescribable weariness in his eyes.

Li Zhen could tell that it wasn't that his body was weak, but rather that he was experiencing some kind of mental exhaustion.

Those posts on the internet calling for a complete Justice League have actually appeared before, but they have only become a hot topic on various websites and media in the last month.

In reality, Superman, who is also a journalist, can certainly see it.

However, Superman had no right to persuade Wonder Woman and Aquaman to rejoin the Justice League. His saintly sense of responsibility drove him to constantly push himself, having to complete his daily work while also putting out fires at a high intensity.

However, the Justice League is now four members short compared to before, not counting other members who have left. And Superman's day has only twenty-four hours.

Li Zhen thought that Superman, in his current state, must harbor some resentment towards Batman, who had stirred up the crisis of trust.

Superman, who had taken his seat, simply muttered something.

"I really don't know how Batman does it. I heard that even when he's at his busiest, he only sleeps four hours a day?"

Li Zhen was somewhat speechless.

Right.

In terms of physical fitness, Batman has maintained a pace of activity in Gotham City similar to Superman's for over a decade.

After Superman finished muttering to himself, he looked up at Li Zhen with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I might need to take leave from training again this week—"

Li Zhen waved her hand, both amused and exasperated.

"You go ahead with your work. The Titan Tower in San Francisco is almost finished, and I haven't had much free time lately."

Wonder Woman looked at Superman with a hint of pity in her eyes and began to ask him in a low voice if he needed help.

Aquaman—who hasn't been very active in superhero activities for several months, seems to have even gained some weight.

Strictly speaking, many of Atlantean political affairs do not actually require his direct concern, resulting in Aquaman spending most of his time sitting idly in his throne.

Only after Batman coughed lightly to remind them did the people around the conference table stop whispering among themselves.

Even Li Zhen sat obediently in her seat, straightening her back and perking up her ears.

A meeting that can bring together someone like him, an unpaid employee, must have something important to discuss.

"The Flash is about to wake up."

Batman's opening remarks are always a bombshell.

Lee Jung could even see Superman's previously listless eyes suddenly gleam with a sharp light.

"However, based on the information we have learned from the previous Crime Syndicate incident and the data research we have conducted during this period, we can be almost certain that the Flash's awakening will bring about certain changes to this world."

Li Zhen, on the other hand, had an expression of sudden realization.

So that's why we had this meeting today.

In fact, he had already read about everything that would happen next in the emperor's memory.
