The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 195 Catwoman Infection

However, after searching around the coastal ports, Li Zhen did not find any useful clues.

There wasn't a soul in sight.

Instead of venturing deeper, Li Zhen stood quietly in place, trying to ignore the sensation of the poisonous mist licking at her, while waiting for the rest of the young Titans to land.

Before long, footsteps came from behind Li Zhen.

Rachel took the lead, even walking ahead of Tim. Under the hood that resembled a raven's head, one could vaguely see the transparent mask being covered by the white mist from Rachel's breath from time to time.

Seeing that Li Zhen hadn't encountered any trouble upon entering, Rachel's expression relaxed slightly, and she even quickened her pace, taking two quick steps towards Li Zhen.

Li Zhen turned around, a slight smile appearing on her lips as if she wanted to comfort Rachel, but her eyes changed in an instant.

About several dozen meters to the left of the teenage Titans, a few wisps of green mist were gently lifted up.

Almost no one noticed such a subtle scene in the already low-visibility situation.

Only Li Zhen's honed combat skills reminded him that something definitely existed in that place.

Li Zhen wanted to rush over, but just as his muscles were about to exert force, a chill that penetrated to the bone suddenly caused him to stiffen uncontrollably.

The last time he felt something similar was when Lee Jung, a Vitrumian, was undergoing trials on a planet in his teens, facing a sneak attack from a super monster that could have fatally harmed him.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Cassandra, who was also wearing a mask, suddenly jumped up and tackled Rachel, who was rushing towards Li Zhen, to the ground.

Something invisible and unknown broke through the air, sweeping past where Rachel had just stood, gently dispersing the omnipresent green mist in the air before returning to silence.

Yes, with such a tiny commotion, strictly speaking, apart from Li Zhen and Cassandra being able to sense it through their combat intuition, the rest of the group remained completely unaware.

They even wondered if Cassandra had been infected by the virus, and they rushed over to pull her away from Rachel.

But the girl who couldn't speak had innocent, clear eyes blinking behind her transparent mask, leaving everyone momentarily bewildered.

Li Zhen pulled Rachel up and carefully held her to her side. She first gave Cassandra a grateful look, and then explained the strange situation to the unsuspecting crowd.

Mar crossed his arms and rubbed his arms, gritting his teeth as he looked left and right, but he couldn't detect anything unusual.

Mia remained in the posture of drawing her bow and shooting an arrow, the bowstring half-drawn, and cautiously pointed around a few times.

Tim then pulled out a palm-sized device and began scanning the air with a series of beeps.

Before any feedback could be received, the screen of the instrument appeared covered with dense, irregular green lines, like a petri dish crawling with slime mold.

Tim tossed aside the sparking instrument with a helpless shrug.

"No mechanical creations can be used here."

Li Zhen also forced herself to raise her five senses to the extreme. At this moment, as long as there was even a single strand of hair falling within a radius of thirty meters, Li Zhen could instantly detect it.

But still nothing was found, and even the dangerous stinging sensation that had appeared behind him earlier seemed to be just an illusion.

"That thing has left—or it may be waiting for the moment we let our guard down before launching another sneak attack."

Li Zhen subconsciously tightened her grip on Rachel's shoulders, her expression quite serious.

If an ordinary person were to maintain a state of constant tension and high vigilance towards the outside world, they would definitely feel tired in no time.

However, this part happened to be part of the extreme training that Teen Titans had previously undergone.

Li Zhen had banished them to an alternate dimension controlled by Rachel. The Titans had to be on guard against Li Zhen's sneak attacks around the clock and walk back dozens of miles to the ever-open dimensional gate.

Anyone who shows any sign of relaxation will be attacked by the elusive Li Zhen, and then suffer a severe beating.

The attacks by the grotesque monsters that were already ubiquitous in the other dimensions put unparalleled mental pressure on the Titans at that time.

This extreme training enabled everyone to maintain a high level of alertness for extended periods. Even Lilith, who was not present, could remain fully focused for more than five hours during a march.

The group slowed their pace again, clinging closer together and continuing their journey into Gotham City as a small group.

However, for a while afterward, Gotham City returned to its ghostly silence, with no suspicious activity except for the sounds of Li Zhen and his group walking around.

The lush green resembles a murky jelly, quiet and eerie, giving people an unprecedented sense of gloom.

Tim finally raised his fist and made a tactical pause as he passed an inconspicuous street corner.

"Go down from here, and there's a hidden bat cave inside what looks like an abandoned storage room."

Tim gritted his teeth, gesturing for everyone to follow him.

"I want to go down and take a look. Maybe I can find something in the bat computer—or at the very least, find some usable equipment in the bat cave."

The others turned their gaze to Li Zhen, who nodded at first, then suddenly noticed something, frowned and gave instructions to the others.

"A team only needs one voice. From now on, you don't need to always look at me. This is Gotham City. Most of the command will follow Tim's orders without any problems."

The group shifted positions, with Tim leading the way, while the rest of the group followed closely behind, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Tim easily pried open the seemingly rusty iron lock, and the door, covered in red rust, opened silently. Mar, who was at the back of the group, casually closed the iron door that was disguised as the entrance to a dilapidated storage room.

The completely realistic underground storage room environment, after entering this sealed space, the overwhelming greenery finally faded, the garbage-strewn floor kicked up dust with Tim's steps, and the air was filled with a stench that even homeless people could hardly bear.

It's unclear what button Tim activated, but the iron rack that was leaning against the corner and piled with junk silently slid open, revealing a narrow opening that could only accommodate one person at a time.

The group entered the cave one after another, bowing their heads and bending their backs. After a long, winding tunnel of about several dozen meters, the cave gradually opened up.

It's worth mentioning that even though this is just a spare Batcave with many numbers that Batman might never use in his lifetime, the tunnel still has several branching paths to confuse the enemy.

Li Zhen couldn't help but admire the Bat Family members for being able to remember so many complex routes.

Until Tim's figure disappeared around the last corner.

Seeing Tim gasp and retreat slowly, Lee Jung walked to the front with slight surprise and peeked out from the other side of the corner.

Then he saw a tall, slender figure standing swaying at the last entrance of the bat cave.

Following closely behind Li Zhen's head, another head popped out, squinted for a long time, and lowered its voice to what it thought was the lowest it could.

"Is that Catwoman?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhen rolled her eyes and lightly tapped Ma Er on the head.

At the same time, the tall figure suddenly turned around, and in the dark passage, a pair of emerald-like eyes locked onto the two of them.

Then her body suddenly arched, like a real black cat, nimbly pouncing towards the two of them, her sharp claws aimed directly at their eyes.

However, "Catwoman" was then easily grabbed by the neck by Lee Jung, who took a step forward, and slammed to the ground.

Looking at that beautiful, corpse-green face covered with black veins that stretched from her neck all the way up to her face, and her dark green pupils that had truly become like a cat's, Li Zhen clicked her tongue softly.

"Tim, the research materials have arrived. Is this your teacher's wife?"
