Rachel, who had been standing in the shadows and was almost invisible, suddenly stepped forward.

She stretched out her arm and gently placed the back of her hand on Rib Superman's forehead for a while.

Then Rachel's calm voice boomed like thunder in the Batcave.

"He's not dead yet."

"ha?"

Li Zhen was somewhat shocked.

In a sense, he is also an expert in this field; surely he can't be so bad as to not be able to tell whether someone is dead or not.

The shock and burn from the explosion of that giant satellite charred most of the frail Superman's skin, leaving him unable to breathe or have a heartbeat.

Batman also walked over, activated the scanning function in his helmet, and frowned as he looked at Rachel after a moment.

"There's no trace of even the faintest brainwave feedback, nor any residual biofield. What's your basis for this judgment?"

"His soul showed no signs of dissipating."

Rachel simply said one sentence, then retreated back into the shadows without offering any further explanation.

Batman stared silently at the thin, seemingly fragile body, and suddenly uttered a sentence.

"How is he?"

Li Zhen was slightly taken aback before realizing that Batman was asking her a question.

"He seems like a decent guy, but he clearly lacks experience in communicating with people."

"I guess he might have been imprisoned by some force in that world for a long time. When he talks to me, he always seems to be deliberately wary, but in reality, he is simple and naive."

Batman nodded silently.

"It's already night, but I have equipment here that can simulate sunlight, though the radiation frequency needs a little adjustment."

"Bring him along, and come with me."

Oh?

Is this gloomy old bat so naturally able to command people?

The device that simulates sunlight is clearly designed to guard against Superman's red sun radiation device, right?

Li Zhen rolled her eyes, carefully hoisted Superman's corpse onto her shoulder, and followed Batman's footsteps, turning left and right inside the Batcave.

There was nothing I could do; I had assumed it was dead, so I figured it wouldn't be a problem to be careless.

If there's still a chance to save him, we can't just let him rattle and bang around like a garbage bag.

What if someone could have been saved, but a few touches and it's all over?

With his eyes closed, Ribs Chao was placed on the central floor of a huge cylindrical space as Batman had requested. He stood with his hands on his hips, watching Batman chatter away on the digital display on his bat-armor.

As a low, buzzing hum came from the ceiling, warm artificial sunlight began to fill the entire room.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Seeing that Ribs Superman hadn't reacted for more than ten seconds, Batman frowned and made a clean, decisive swipe of his finger across the digital display screen.

Turn the power up to the maximum directly.

Batman then walked straight out of the room.

Because in a few seconds, the temperature inside the room will become unbearable for a person.

Li Zhen didn't need to hide; the mere few hundred or a thousand degrees Celsius wasn't worth him moving an inch.

After another ten seconds of utter silence.

Li Zhen's ears twitched.

He actually managed to detect the muscle cells starting to contract.

First, the heart slowly begins to beat, and then blood begins to flow again in the blood vessels.

The scalded and festering wounds gradually healed, and not only did his eyelids begin to tremble, but even the muscles all over his body seemed to swell slightly.

"...It has many weaknesses, but with the sun around, the speed of its recovery is truly unreasonable."

Li Zhen felt envious again.

Let's not talk about biofields; anyway, he has no intention of using airplanes to stop trains in his life, so be it.

But the Kryptonians' physique is a bit unfair under the sun's influence.

No basic care or bandaging is needed; it will heal directly to its optimal state.

If Li Zhen's intestines were torn out, she would have to find a way to stuff them back in and stop the wound.

It's best to disinfect the wound before applying sterile bandages, because bacteria and germs can contaminate the flesh and blood, which can slightly slow down the healing process and, to be honest, cause quite a bit of pain.

This is why some of Wittrum's veteran instructors have many horrifying scars on their bodies and faces.

Because of the lack of medical care during self-healing, the wound may accumulate excess proliferative tissue under the stimulation of a highly bacterial environment.

But this rib-skinned superhero lying on the ground not only had all his skin wounds healed exactly as they were, but also...

He even seemed to have grown a bit bigger out of nowhere.

What? I have a bunch of yellow light rings brimming with fear energy?

Oh, that's alright then.

Just as Li Zhen was watching Pai Gu Chao slowly recover and letting her thoughts wander, the latter suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the floor.

He paid no attention to Li Zhen, who was observing him from the side, but instead showed an extremely infatuated expression, reaching out to touch the artificial sunlight projected from the ceiling.

He murmured devoutly.

"Is this what they call paradise?"

"How heartwarming!"

With a snap, Batman, standing outside the observation window, ruthlessly shut off the artificial sunlight.

As the room returned to normal lighting, Paigu was shocked to realize that he seemed to be in a completely unfamiliar environment.

Turning her head, Li Zhen waved to him in greeting.

"Hi."

"It's you!"

Without saying a word, Ribs Chao's eyes immediately began to focus on heat vision.

As Li Zhen flashed to face the other person, she covered the pair of eyes that were emitting a ferocious red light.

"Oh! I deserve credit for saving your life, and this is how you treat your benefactor?"

Seeing her bright red hand gradually return to its normal color, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Batcave were to be demolished by accident, it would only worsen his and Rachel's already precarious financial situation.

The Superman in this parallel universe definitely doesn't have the money to pay compensation.

The millions he got from Oliver Quinn probably wouldn't even cover the cost of repairing this solar simulation device.

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Ribs Superman not only withdrew his gaze, but also, after a moment of silence, blurted out something silly.

"Why did you save me again?"

"What do you mean 'again'—it wasn't me who killed you! Didn't I want to talk to you from the start? You were the one who tried to attack after only a few words!"

Li Zhen almost died of grievance. This was the first time he hadn't really been able to kill in a battle, which was quite rare.

Ribs Superman seemed to have not expected this turn of events. He opened his mouth and stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence.

"Because you smell strongly of blood, you must have just killed someone from our world in another node."

Finally, I added one more sentence.

"So you're probably not a good person."

Li Zhen released his hand and stared at Pai Gu Chao's clear, foolish eyes for a moment.

Then he realized something.

He brought back someone even dumber than Shazam.

But it's all for the best. Batman's purpose in reviving Superman was probably to gather information about Lex Luthor on the other side.

It's good that he's an idiot.

"I need to correct a few of your mistakes."

Li Zhen raised one finger.

While the temperature was still high and Batman was still standing motionless outside the observation window, he began to brainwash the silly Superman.

"First, they attacked me first."

"Secondly, not being a good person does not necessarily mean being a bad person."

"Thirdly, I used the locator I was carrying, which was originally intended to save the Flash, to bring you back. So your survival is directly related to me. You should have a more respectful attitude towards your benefactor."

Li Zhen spread his hands and pointed very discreetly at the Batman standing outside.

"He is an Earthling, and Earthlings imprisoned you, but I am an alien, an alien who, like you, had to leave my home planet and come to Earth for some reason. We can both fly, and we might even be related in the cosmic family tree."

Paigu Chao had never heard anyone say so much to him in one go before. He was stunned for a long time before nodding.

You have a point.
