"Barry, you're here. Have you heard about that?"
"What?" Barry really didn't know. He was a little curious: "What happened?"
"Atlantis, those damn fishmen are making big news again!"
That must have been released after he left the house, Barry thought. He had just been watching the news and hadn't found anything new.
The colleague who was speaking had obviously noticed this as well. He patted Barry's arm and said, "You should see now. This is different from the petty fights before!"
The latest news was being broadcast on the TV screen inside the police station.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to announce that in Western Europe we have witnessed one of the most notorious massacres in human history..."
Then, the screen began to display the current situation of certain Western European countries. Barry looked carefully for a moment, then suddenly said uncertainly, "Was that the Eiffel Tower just now?"
Something that looked very much like the Eiffel Tower was submerged in the ocean, but Barry wasn't sure, because if it was true, it could only mean...
"Yes, it's just what you thought, Barry. Those damn fishmen, they flooded Paris!"
In fact, it was not just Paris. Most coastal cities in Western Europe were invaded by the vast ocean, which directly caused hundreds of millions of casualties and countless economic losses.
And it was Atlantis that caused all this.
However, Atlantis's target was not humans at all. Their real target was the Amazons who occupied the British Isles.
But the Amazon was protected by magic, and the huge wave did not harm their foundation. Instead, the nearby Western European continent was affected by the aftermath of the huge wave, causing heavy losses.
Whether it is Amazon or Atlantis, relying on their respective uniqueness, they have always ignored any reasonable demands of human society, and this time it directly caused the deaths and injuries of hundreds of millions of people.
Such losses have reached a level that is simply unacceptable to mankind. Therefore, after the sinking of Western Europe, NATO immediately announced that it would enter a state of complete hostility with Amazon and Atlantis.
The war broke out in this unexpected state. If mankind still has history, this should be called the Third World War.
As the leader of NATO, the United States naturally has to take action.
Atlantis has advanced technology and the Amazon has outstanding magic. The actions of regular human troops will be detected by the enemy before they arrive at the battlefield, which is very disadvantageous in information warfare.
What's more, even if the regular human army could reach the battlefield, their technological strength is actually not that superior.
It was especially frustrating when fighting against the Atlanteans who were capable of amphibious warfare. Since the Western European continent had become a swamp, the main battlefield between humans and Atlantis was naturally at sea.
But when it comes to naval warfare, no civilization in the world is better than the Atlanteans, so it's no surprise that the human army failed.
However, humans still have some advantages in air combat. The Atlanteans do not seem to know how to gain air superiority and suffer a little loss in this regard.
But the human army is well aware that this is only a small tactical advantage. With Atlantis's technological capabilities, they should be able to master air combat capabilities soon, and by then they may well become the host.
The reason why Atlanteans are now outmatched by humans in air combat is mainly because most Atlanteans cannot live without water. If they want to bring the water environment into the sky, their fighter planes will inevitably become more cumbersome and inflexible.
For lightweight human fighter planes, this water-filled fighter plane is a fixed target in the air, and every hit is accurate.
However, such good days will not last long. Human beings must expand their advantages as soon as possible while they still have air superiority.
When the suspicion of war loomed over the United States, it also had a huge impact on the social environment within the United States.
Unemployment and crime rates are rising, prices are rising, military company stocks are skyrocketing like crazy, and the government is beginning to build momentum for war.
It is said that there is a debate within Congress about whether the United States should enter the war.
At present, the war has not yet spread to the United States mainland, and the countries that actually participate in the war are still mainly concentrated in the European countries. Just like in the early days of World War II, the United States hid outside the battlefield and temporarily lived in peace in a corner.
But this time is a little different, because either side in the war has the ability to destroy the world. Real smart people know that the world is now sitting on a powder keg that can explode at any time and is in danger.
Finally, when the war developed to a certain stage, humans finally used a tactical nuclear bomb on the battlefield in Western Europe, destroying a large number of Atlantis troops and turning the local waters into a river of death.
The power of tactical nuclear bombs made the Amazons and Atlanteans face up to the power of humans for the first time, which also meant an escalation in the intensity of the war.
The magical beasts created by the Amazons with magic and the sea beasts driven by Atlantis, these special biological weapons began to appear on the battlefield and dealt a heavy blow to the human army.
It is worth mentioning that although this world does not have a Justice League, it does have superheroes. However, like superheroes in other worlds, they usually do not participate in international affairs.
But Amazon and Atlantis obviously go beyond the scope of general international affairs. This is also a supernatural matter, so some superheroes choose to take action.
The person who took action was a hero named "Captain Atom". Captain Atom was a superhuman whose body was covered with unknown metal. He mastered atomic energy and even had the ability to control quantum fields.
Logically speaking, even if such a superhero cannot defeat the Atlantis army, at least he should have no problem protecting himself.
However, things developed beyond people's expectations. Captain Atom never returned and he disappeared.
This disappearance has attracted great attention from the United States.
"Can you find out what happened to Captain Atom?"
In the center of the Star Laboratory, the cyborg Cyborg is being questioned by the Sky Eye Society.
Faced with Amanda's question, Cyborg could only shake his head and said in confusion: "The Atlanteans and we don't use the same network, Waller, I can't hack into their system."
It is worth mentioning that the Cyborg in this timeline does not get his abilities from the Mother Box, but from human technology, so his abilities are greatly limited.
"Regarding what you said about forming a super-powered team, we agree in principle. However, according to our calculations, without Batman, your team will hardly be able to play its due role."
"I'll bring Batman into my team."
"I hope so..."
After the video ended, Cyborg had a headache. Although he agreed solemnly, he was actually very unsure whether he could invite Batman.
"I hope that man will join us for the sake of the greater good."
On the other hand, Barry in Central City recently felt that his dreams were becoming more and more real. He had the same dream for 880 consecutive days, which made his memory begin to become confused.
On this day, he woke up from his dream as usual and got up in a sweat.
"Shit, it's that damn dream again." Barry sighed and could only get out of bed.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but open his phone and check the news again. There had been a constant stream of news about the war in Western Europe.
Without the need for expert evaluation, everyone could see that the war was not going well. What was beyond everyone's expectations was that everyone had originally thought that with the size of human society, even if they could not gain an advantage for the time being, the balance of victory would eventually tilt towards humans.
However, the reality is not so. Despite the help from countries around the world, the war situation between NATO forces and the other two ancient civilizations is still not optimistic.
It is hard to believe that a modern military group was at a disadvantage in a war between two ancient civilizations.
Atlantis is fine, after all, it is a high-tech civilization, but they can't even crush the Amazons, a nation that uses cold weapons to fight!
In order to find out what is going on, humans have sent countless military spies to the Amazon's New Paradise Island (formerly Great Britain), but just like Captain Atom's fall in Atlantis, those military spies also disappeared on the New Paradise Island.
What no one knew was that among all the people who went to New Paradise Island to investigate, Lois Lane was also among them. She went there secretly under her own name.
Barry didn't know the specific details, but the official information alone was enough to shock him. He thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
"As far as I can remember, Batman's true identity is Bruce Wayne in Gotham City. If that's true, then I should be able to find him there."
Perhaps a hero is always a hero, even if everything has changed, but Barry still acts with the sense of justice in his heart.
He wanted to know whether the Justice League in his dream was real.
Chapter 511 The familiar electric chair...
After taking a day off from the bureau and making some simple preparations, Barry set off for Gotham City.
When he entered the city, he found that many of the scenes he saw corresponded to those in his dreams.
You have to know that Barry had never been to Gotham before, but wherever he saw, many things made him feel very familiar.
It was as if he had been here often.
This gave Barry a little more confidence in what he saw in his dream.
With a hint of expectation, Barry Allen came to Wayne Manor. The dilapidated and gloomy manor looked like a huge haunted house, which made him a little daunted.
I'm crazy, he thought, why do I have to suffer like this?
Despite thinking this in his heart, Barry still pushed open the outer door of the manor and entered.
Entering from the main door of the house, Barry was in a trance for a moment, because the layout of the house was almost exactly the same as in his dream, although the details were different.
Inside the house, he also saw a photo of the Wayne family of three, in which Bruce Wayne was still a child.
This scene brought back Barry's memory, and he naturally thought of the scene in his dream.
"This is impossible...it's actually true..." Barry couldn't help but mutter, he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
Because he had also seen this photo in his dream, and the people and appearances in it were almost exactly the same as the one he saw in his dream.
Barry couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He began to examine his dreams and wondered if someone wanted to tell him something.
"who are you?"
Just as Barry was thinking, a deep voice suddenly appeared behind him.
Batman! Barry immediately realized the identity of the person behind him.
But when he turned his head, he was hit hard in the face.
"Oh my God!"
Barry in this time and space did not have super speed, so he was easily knocked down by a punch and his nose was broken.
He couldn't help but wonder, is Batman so cruel?
But before he could think any further, a pair of big hands suddenly grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
Only then did Barry see clearly the appearance of the person who attacked him and couldn't help but shudder.
Because the eyepieces of the Batman in front of him were red, and his whole body was filled with a terrifying murderous aura, as if he was going to crush him to death at the next moment.
Barry trembled and said, "Batman?"
"I have to say you're quite capable." Batman said expressionlessly, "You were able to find my address, so I'm sure you've guessed my true identity.
But I didn't expect you to be stupid enough to come here alone. Who ordered you to come here? The Penguin? Or the Joker? "
"Bruce... Wayne?" Barry struggled to say the name.
He thought he knew the identity of the man in front of him, but he didn't know that after he said the name, the temperature around him seemed to drop instantly.
"Why do you say that name?"
Barry felt the hands holding him tighten, his collar seemed to be shrinking, and he could hardly breathe.
"Because...you are Bruce..."
Unexpectedly, this sentence was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and the Batman in front of him suddenly became furious.
Barry suddenly felt the world spinning, and then severe pain began to spread throughout his body. He couldn't help but scream.
"You shouldn't provoke me, boy. It's not wise at all."
Batman is extremely strong, and Barry is manipulated like a rag doll in his hands, but Batman's movements are not gentle, on the contrary, he is very rough, and Barry's injuries are increasing.
But Batman's purpose is not to kill him, he still wants to force out the person behind Barry.
So after beating Barry until he was unable to move, he grabbed his palm, spread out his five fingers, and pressed one of them with his thumb.
"Now, I ask, you answer, or I'll break your fingers."
Barry nodded vigorously.
"your name."
"Barry Allen."
"Who do you work for?"
"Central City Police Department."
Batman was a little surprised. Central City police? Your business is quite extensive. Has it expanded to Gotham?
After thinking for a moment, Batman continued to ask: "What is your purpose for coming here?"
"Looking for you, Batman."
"Why?" Batman demanded.
"I want to make one thing clear." Barry said honestly.
"what's up?"
"I had a dream. In the dream, Batman and I were friends..."
The conversation suddenly changed, and Batman thought the guy was playing a trick on him, so without saying a word, he exerted force with his thumb.
With a "crack", one of Barry's fingers was broken, which made Barry scream.
"Watch what you say next kid, if you dare to tease me again, I will continue to do so. Go on and answer my question, you just mentioned Bruce, why?"
