I, V, Gotham Legend

The sound of artillery bombardment was heard, and the originally indestructible outer wall was blown into pieces, and the remains of the robot clones and steel fragments were scattered into the room.

A terrifyingly large hole appeared on the metal wall. Through the hole, the people in the room could clearly see a white hovercraft floating outside.

People had never seen anything like it and thought it was a new weapon from aliens. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe. Only Louise stood up in surprise.

She had seen this style of car not long ago, when she was taking a taxi home after her interview with V, and she happened to see Superman carrying a car of the same model flying past the O'Neill Hotel.

"Don't worry, it's V! The hero sent us here." Louise comforted the others around her.

The hovercraft drove into the room, stirring up a mess, and slowly landed on the carpet, the jet of fire gradually extinguished.

The car door opened sideways, and the person who stepped out of the car was not the blue-haired mercenary, but another familiar face, the huntress who had changed into a purple battle suit.

"Everyone should be here now." The huntress counted the number of people in the room, then stepped aside. "Get in the car. This car is very safe and has an automatic protection system. I heard it's as strong as the Sword of the Lady of the Lake... although I don't quite understand it."

"This car?" A pot-bellied guest looked at the hovercraft in surprise, "Isn't it a little too small?"

There were a dozen guests here, but the car looked like it could seat five at most.

"I only have this one car. You guys try to squeeze in. It's safe inside anyway. It may be the safest place on this battlefield." The female hunter walked into the crowd and walked straight to the door. "Get in the car and hide until the war is over. I have something to leave first."

The huntress gripped the door handle with her gloves on. Just as Louise was about to remind her that the door was welded shut, she saw the huntress exert force with her shoulders and the door was forcibly opened with an ear-piercing sound.

Louise originally thought that behind the door there should be a brutal war in the narrow corridor, but through the opened gap, she saw a factory assembly line operating in the spacious space.

The other guests had already scrambled to climb onto the hovercraft as requested by the Huntress, but Louise did not join the crowd. She took a deep breath, gave herself courage, then picked up the camera and caught up with the Huntress.

"Your contributions should not be buried!" she shouted to Helena.

NO74. Assembly Line Explosion

Helena pushed open the door and found that the intricate corridors, clearly planned rooms and even the ceiling divided into several layers inside the cabin had basically been demolished. Only a passage near the door was left to prevent people from falling to their death unexpectedly.

The cabin of an aircraft carrier is divided into two parts: the hull and the deck. Here it looks like the entire hull has been hollowed out.

The entire cabin, except for a few very important rooms, has been basically demolished. Only a few load-bearing pillars stand in the cabin like ancient trees, but this does not make people feel empty.

There were several assembly lines hanging in the room like beams, starting from the garbage-like waste at the bottom layer, to the main materials on a conveyor belt higher up like a clothesline, to the spare parts on the third layer, the limbs on the fourth layer, and finally the assembled robots hung like clothes on the fifth layer.

They will eventually be taken over by the long-awaited octopus-shaped drones at the highest sixth floor and sent into the battlefield.

This is just a robot assembly line. Helena can also see a weapons assembly line not far away.

There are busy robotic arms on several assembly lines. They work intensively and in a coordinated manner, and from a distance they look like white centipedes.

The construction of the assembly line has a strong mechanical and technological feel. They are staggered and connected, and the orderly layering does not make people feel irritated when looking at them.

Louise followed Helena and looked at the mechanical workshop in disbelief: "I remember it wasn't like this before. Is this magic?"

"This is V. She is the most reliable person here." Helena boasted proudly. She stood at the edge of the aisle and looked down as if she was looking down at a cliff.

After watching for a while, her keen senses decisively locked onto Valerie's position. Then, the huntress looked at Louise beside her and said, "Hold on to me. I'm going to jump."

Louise obediently hugged Helena's waist, and then the two of them jumped down the aisle like skydivers. Helena's cloak propped up her wings, allowing her to slowly make an emergency landing.

The two landed at the bottom floor, which was an open area like a square. It was the beginning of the assembly line. A beautiful woman with blue hair and blue eyes was wearing a classic yellow jacket and squinting her eyes as she adjusted a gun.

"It's incredible. You really built a mass production line in just half an hour." Walking up to Valerie, Helena was the first to express her admiration.

"I'm very fast...and this assembly line is not very complete, so the efficiency is still not enough." Valerie said without raising her head. The two could see that she was repairing a shotgun.

"What's wrong with this gun?" Louise came over and asked.

"I originally provided the soldiers outside with Iron Gall... a very powerful shotgun, but it seemed a little too powerful. The recoil alone broke the soldiers' arms," ​​Valerie explained, "This gun isn't as demanding. I'm going to resupply it with this... and some healing medicine."

As she spoke, Valerie placed the shotgun in her hand into a square box instrument in front of her. The instrument lit up red, and then the robotic arm on the weapons assembly line flexibly changed its movements.

Even Louise, who had interviewed the most advanced assembly line technology, had never seen this scene. She looked up at the room covered by machines in disbelief: "Did you do this in less than half an hour? This is simply... This is a miracle!"

But Valerie was dissatisfied: "No, it's still too slow."

Valerie can rub it much faster with her bare hands than on these assembly lines.

But she still needs to work on these assembly lines because she can't stay here forever.

Valerie called Helena over and pointed to the console: "Hunter, you have to remember these buttons. If you want to do this, you have to do this first..."

She taught Helena on the spot how to operate the assembly line, which dazzled Louise.

"I will take over your job here, so what are you going to do?" Helena asked worriedly.

Valerie smiled slightly: "Go out and join the battle. I'm not the type to hide here."

"Go and help those soldiers clear out the robots? It will be a lot easier with your help..." Helena said thoughtfully.

"What are you talking about? How can I just deal with the small fry in such a big scene?" Valerie laughed, "I want to participate in the war in the sky and kill those aliens who are the main culprits."

Now, both Helena and Louise looked at Valerie with shock in their eyes.

"You... I know you're strong, but are you crazy?" Helena looked at Valerie worriedly. She didn't care if her words were rude or not. "The battles between those aliens were simply devastating. You'd just die if you went over there!"

Helena had always admired Valerie, who seemed to have endless power and a reliable style of doing things, but Helena had driven a hovercraft across the battlefield between aliens before, and she really couldn't imagine how Valerie would get involved in that battle.

Valerie looked at Helena in surprise for a while, then she pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe, what you said is just like a scene from a movie."

Helena's eyes widened. She really couldn't understand why Valerie could still laugh when she was so serious.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about." This was a lie, but Valerie wanted to appease her followers. "The Kryptonian spaceship is the key. I'm going to shoot down the alien spaceship."

"That thing is hundreds of meters long and still high in the air. What are you going to do?" Helena asked with a trembling voice but still calmed down.

Seeing Helena's nervous look, Valerie rubbed her eyes, then nodded and said, "It's just a little bigger, but in fact, I can also make a Kryptonian spaceship."

Having said that, Valerie has not done a thorough study of the spaceship series research tree that Joe gave her, and the only superman spaceship that can be built in a short period of time is the one that she gets directly from the blueprints.

But her backup obviously isn't just a spaceship, she just needs to wait for Superman to come find her first.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Valerie emphasized, "Now learn how to operate this assembly line with me. When I officially join the battlefield, the rear area here will be left to you."

Helena nodded silently. At this point, she could only trust Valerie's confidence.

Louise was curious and took a brief tour of the surrounding environment within a certain range. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she asked Valerie, "Aren't you afraid that someone will suddenly break in here and affect your assembly line work?"

"There's no one else here. The important rooms where people are needed have been welded shut from the outside," Valerie explained.

Louise remembered the guest room door that she had been unable to open before, and nodded in sudden realization, but she always felt like she had overlooked something.

...

After trying for a long time to open the hatch leading to the hull without success, Colonel Jones, who was in charge of the investigation in the cabin, and his soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Do you need to blast the door open?"

"forget it..."

NO75. Thermal Vision

In the sky, two disastrous fights were taking place simultaneously.

In order to minimize the impact on the ground troops, both Superman and Martian Hunter chose to stay as far away from the group as possible.

Holding Zod's shoulders, Superman spun his body in the air as if gathering strength, then threw Zod high into the air. He then flew to the side of Zod who was spinning in the air and punched him hard, sending him flying even higher.

Zod's body passed through the troposphere, and the strong air made it almost impossible for him to tell the direction. He could only draw circles with his feet and barely stand in the air.

Zod, who regained control of his body, opened his eyes wide and saw Superman in the clouds. In a blink of an eye, Superman was already close to him.

Zod stared at Superman, intending to use his well-honed counterattack technique when Superman rushed in front of him, but just before he was about to attack, he felt his eyes getting hot.

Before he could blink, Zod gritted his teeth and glared at Superman, lasers with temperatures high enough to distort the air burst out of his eyes.

Superman was caught off guard. He only had time to put his hands in front of him. The heat rays hit his arms head-on, and he was driven down by the impact.

A man with an orange beam of light descended from the sky. This scene temporarily attracted the attention of even the army still fighting on the ground.

Until Superman fell into the sea, the water vapor evaporated from the high temperature and condensed when it encountered cold in mid-air, causing a thick fog on the entire battlefield.

Superman sank into the sea, and the impact of the thermal vision stopped. He tried his best to open his eyes and identify his location.

The environment in the ocean was dim, but Superman could still see clearly that a large number of robots were swimming in the ocean. He felt like a whale breaking into a school of sardines in a documentary.

There is a black area deep in the ocean that seems to be always rotating, and the surrounding ocean currents surround that area and seem to be repelling it outwards.

The robots were thrown out from the dark space like cockroach seeds and quickly joined the army invading the shore.

Superman wants to investigate, but he senses Zod approaching.

He accelerated in the ocean and emerged from the water. Since his entire body was protected by the biological barrier, there was no trace of moisture on Superman's body.

Accurate eyes pierced through the mist and locked onto Zod in the sky as it approached like a bullet.

Superman lowered his clenched fists, gathered energy in his eyes, and prepared to strike back in kind, bringing the battlefield back to the sky.

But before his heat vision burst out, a dark shadow flashed from the side and knocked the zord that was rushing straight towards him.

That was Fiora who was thrown out. She bumped into Zod and took him flying far away.

Until the two of them coordinated tacitly and stabilized their movements, but the downward momentum also stopped.

Superman slowly rose from the sea and came to mid-air. He noticed the approaching Martian Manhunter out of the corner of his eye.

"You haven't gone yet?" Martian Manhunter floated to Superman and spoke first.

When Martian Manhunter first joined the battlefield, he told Superman through the mental connection that he was going to find V.

Hearing the gentle voice of Martian Manhunter, Superman realized who he was: "I can't get away. This person will catch up with me immediately."

"I'll hold them off at the same time, you go find V, she has something to tell you." Martian Hunter said.

Although the two Kryptonians were very powerful, they were barely enough for Martian Manhunter to resist.

Superman did not agree immediately. He had experienced it himself that Zod was becoming more and more powerful as the battle progressed. He had no confidence in putting all the pressure on one person.

Just then, a sharp vibration sound was heard. Superman looked up and saw that the spaceship that had been hovering above the parking lot finally started moving again.

The three chains connecting the spacecraft together broke apart as if they were collapsing, and the three tadpole-shaped spacecraft that were tightly together separated as if they were disintegrating.

"You are running out of time." Zod flew in front of the two of them with Fiora and said condescendingly.

The war on the ground is not the point. As long as Zod's plan can successfully change the earth's environment using spacecraft, it will not be considered a failure.

"As long as we get the book, everything will be fine." As he said this, Zod looked towards the parking lot behind him.

According to the signal that suddenly came to them in space, clues related to the book were hidden in the box that led them here.

Zod remembered that the box looked ordinary and was carried by a brown-haired Earthling with a blue hat.

Originally, Zod did not intend to completely believe the information in the strange signal, but he did find a compatriot named Carl through the content of the signal.

With the attitude of giving it a try, after teaching Carl a lesson, he decided to find the three natives again.

It doesn’t matter even if it’s fake, there must be clues on Carl himself.

The spacecraft has begun to deform, and its liquid-textured surface is deforming rhythmically, gradually turning into the shape of a disk.

They will rise to higher ground and start the transformation from this city.

Superman flew up and tried to rush to the spaceship in the sky, but Zod had already approached him, grabbed Superman's cape and pulled him down.

Martian Manhunter attacked at the same time. He punched Zod in the face with a strength no less than Superman, forcing Zod to let go and take a big step back.

Fiora had already rushed over, she clenched her fists and hit the Martian Hunter's waist, but the Martian Hunter reacted faster, he dodged sideways, then reached out and pressed on Fiora's face.

"Superman, I can stop these two people here." Martian Manhunter's voice did not sound so relaxed, "But as long as the portal in the sea or the spaceship in the sky is not resolved, it will be almost impossible to end the war."

"I'll go deal with the spaceship first." Superman looked up at the sky.

"No, you should go find V first." The voice of Martian Hunter sounded in Superman's heart.

Superman looked at the Martian Manhunter. He was surprised why the Martian Manhunter was so sure that Valerie would have a solution.

But after so many reminders, Superman decided to trust this teammate who suddenly broke in.

With his feet creating an air explosion, Superman disappeared on the spot at a speed that ordinary people could not see.

Zod was about to rush forward, but the Martian Manhunter had already blocked his way: "Let's take it slow."

...

Superman stopped listening, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack on the battlefield, but he still keenly found Valerie's location.
