The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 83 Atomic Nemesis

Li Zhen strode forward and grabbed Ye Yi's shoulder.

His force field perception told him that the next step for this bat kid after waking up from his coma was to spring up like a carp.

Perhaps his mind wasn't quite clear yet, and in his last memory before losing consciousness, he was in a dangerous environment.

"Don't move, Atom is performing surgery on you inside your brain."

Although I don't know much about whether macroscopic movement can affect the microscopic level, even a sports student knows that you can't move around recklessly during a critical moment of surgery.

Nightwing opened his eyes and saw Batman pressing him down. He stared for a moment before realizing that this was Li Zhen disguised as Batman. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe his surroundings.

"Star City Laboratory—Where is Bain?"

Nightwing suddenly thought of something even more terrifying.

"You didn't kill Bane, did you?!"

Upon hearing Ye Yi's words, Rhonda, standing behind Li Zhen, suddenly stiffened, a look of fear and disbelief flashing across her face.

Li Zhen shook her head.

"No, I only crippled his arms—I don't look like I enjoy killing people that much."

Nightwing finally relaxed completely.

"That's good."

Although Bane is like a leech, a highly dangerous scoundrel, Nightwing isn't really too concerned about whether he'll be killed by Li Zhen.

But no way.

Batman will definitely care when he wakes up.

He boldly skipped the two Batman options, Superman and the Plastic Man, which were essentially more acceptable, and chose Lee Jung to impersonate and replace the Dark Knight, even though he was somewhat unsure of himself.

But Nightwing made the right bet.

As long as Li Zhen can resist crossing the line into murder, given this guy's thought process and ruthlessness...

The fear it instilled in those who habitually play games with Batman far surpassed Batman's own in some ways.

As long as it's not used too often, having Li Zhen come occasionally when Batman is too busy to attend to her is much more suitable than having Superman or the Plastic Man.

If Superman were to impersonate Batman, the Penguin would be impossible to fool.

Needless to say, the Plastic Man, as a superhuman who is immune to most physical damage, is hindered from performing his own abilities by wearing the Batsuit.

Furthermore, since plastic figures lack fighting abilities, casting them as Batman would be a disaster.

Lee Jung's disguise only made the Penguin think that Batman's mental illness was more serious.

While the two were talking, Cai Ruian finally finished cleaning up all the toxic aerosols that had adhered to Nightwing's brain capillaries.

Nightwing suddenly felt a tickling sensation in his nose and sneezed violently.

Atom Man grew larger in the air as countless spittle flew out, then tumbled and landed on the ground.

After glancing at the red and white slime that was stuck to his body and had been magnified proportionally, Cai Ruian looked somewhat embarrassed and said that he needed to clean it up first.

"The toxicity hasn't been completely metabolized yet, but lying down for a while longer should make it fine."

Nightwing thanked him somewhat embarrassedly.

Cai Ruian waved his hand.

The strange female assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Cai Ruian to clean the dirt off his battle suit.

After Cai Rui'an and his female assistant left, Li Zhen pointed to the bat-shaped helmet on her head.

"Do you need any help tomorrow night?"

Before Nightwing could speak, an excited voice came from the Oracle's side.

"Bruce has regained consciousness. I've already told him about you temporarily taking over as Batman for one night. Bruce said he has some things he needs to ask you tomorrow during the day."

Tomorrow during the day?

Li Zhen was somewhat confused.

Nightwing then offered a brief explanation.

The gist is that, in order to better distinguish the identities of Batman and Bruce, Bruce would occasionally create scenes of himself appearing alongside Batman in front of certain media outlets.

After all, Batman's brain hemorrhage and coma meant that Bruce would also be unable to appear at Wayne Enterprises for several days.

Bruce meant that since Lee Jung had already donned this persona, she might as well accompany him to stage another superhero visit to a friend in front of the media tomorrow.

"Wayne Corporation's public statement was that Bruce was hospitalized because he had been involved in some kind of terrorist attack, which might be related to a conspiracy by some lunatics in Gotham City, and that you, as Batman, approached Bruce to question him and investigate."

The Oracle approved Nightwing's explanation.

"Besides, Bruce probably wants to hear from you yourself about Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Martha."

Li Zhen looked helplessly at Ye Yi, who was trying to get off the stage.

"So it sounds reasonable for me to ask for some compensation for this acting role?"

Nightwing's steps were still a little unsteady after he stepped on the ground, so Li Zhen helped Nightwing by supporting his arm.

The latter, with her arm around Li Zhen's, breathed a few weak breaths.

"Wayne Group will not be stingy in this regard."

Afterwards, the two slowly left the Star City Laboratory, and on the way, they thanked Cai Ruian again as he was wiping his hair with a wet towel.

However, the female assistant was not with Cai Ruian, and it is unknown where she went.

As the three passed each other, Li Zhen thought for a moment, then stopped and whispered a question to Cai Ruian.

When did Dr. Palmer hire his assistant?

Cai Ruian was taken aback, and a slight blush was clearly visible on his face.

Well, this kid is actually actually interested in his teacher's assistant.

But that makes sense, considering that the female assistant named Rhonda was a standard young beauty, and it's normal for a male researcher to be attracted to her.

"Oh, you mean Rhonda?"

Cai Ruian scratched his head.

"I'm not entirely sure either. I met Rhonda during one of my professor's field research trips, and he's kept her with him ever since. Rhonda herself is also quite interested in the study of microstructures."

"You always carry it with you?"

Li Zhen repeated the sentence in a low voice.

"So why did Palmer choose to go on fieldwork alone again this time?"

Cai Ruian shrugged, looking somewhat bewildered.

"My teacher can be a bit eccentric sometimes. He even recommended me to the university where he was a professor so that I could teach classes for him when he didn't have time."

this----

Goodness, Ray Palmer really doesn't care about anything; he's even willing to give up his professorship so easily.

It was fortunate that Cai Ruian also had a doctoral degree in the same academic field; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to so perfectly take over the burden left to him by his teacher, who preferred to be a hands-off manager.

Positions can be given up, equipment can be given up, superhero titles can be given up, laboratories and female assistants can be given up as well.

The relationship between this master and disciple is quite strange.

Because of this strange relationship, Ray Palmer and Cai Rui'an can both be called Atom, so Li Zhen doesn't know which Atom Rhonda, who seems to have ulterior motives, is targeting.

He could only offer a reminder to Cai Ruian.

"You'd better keep an eye on Rhonda; she doesn't seem like a good person."

This behavior of talking badly about others behind their backs made Cai Ruian frown subconsciously, but he didn't choose to lash out because the other party was Batman.

Nightwing was also filled with embarrassment, but unexpectedly, Li Zhen immediately added another sentence.

"I can even swear on Batman's name that as Atom, you should know what kind of place Gotham City is, and my judgment has always been very accurate."

Nightwing glared angrily at Li Zhen, baring his teeth.

Who do you think you are, swearing in Batman's name?

But this level of commentary did indeed have an immediate effect.

Cai Ruian took it seriously and nodded silently.

There was no way around it; since someone who was rumored to be taciturn and unsmiling had said it, he had to keep those words in mind.
