Chapter 338 37. Love each other as a family·Wasteland version

"I have passed through the mechanical ant colony and am approaching the underground base."

Falzord's low voice reached Barbara Gordon's ears through the team communication. At this time, the black-clad Superman was walking tiptoe in the collapsed tunnel nearly 300 meters under the wasteland.

He walked very carefully, avoiding making any noise and spreading his Kryptonian senses to catch possible threats for himself.

The ant colony signal beacon on Zod's wrist continues to be active.

This made the mechanical ants crawling everywhere behind him regard the big man as a member of the ant colony and not attack him, just like the way Ant-Man used to control the ant colony by turning himself into the ant king.

.

But the signal beacon made by Barbara is obviously simpler.

"Capture the 'Ant King', Zod, and collect valuable things at the same time. We will wait for you at Pym Crossing."

Barbara warned:

"Pay attention to safety. Mason said that if you encounter special circumstances, give up the action and put safety first."

"Um."

Zod responded, then silenced the communication.

He obviously does not think that he will return without success after reaching this point. Although he always maintains silence and a low profile, keeping away from strangers, in Zod's heart, his evaluation of himself is quite accurate and reliable.

Through this experience, he confirmed that there were only a handful of things that could hurt him in this world.

After all, no matter which parallel world the Kryptonians are in, they all belong to the bloodline of "Kaitanhu". Being defeated in the hands of Black Bolt did not dampen Zod's confidence. It only strengthened his idea that he must further explore his potential.

Although I don’t quite understand the reason why Mason did these things in this dark era, to be fair, following Mason in doing these saving things makes people feel more comfortable than aimless destruction and catharsis.

This mentality is probably related to his experience.

He hates evil people who regard violence and oppression as commonplace.

"Sister? You finally woke up, look at what good things I got, you will definitely like it. Well, don't move around, I will help you up."

When Zod quietly emerged from an underground elevator that had long since stopped operating, his super hearing captured the sounds coming from the space in front of him.

It's the ant king!

That thin young man.

The black-clothed Superman immediately stepped forward, but still maintained his stealth action. He looked around with his penetrating vision, carefully avoiding the strange objects hidden in this steel tunnel and moving forward.

The sounds ahead became clearer and clearer.

"Look! This purified water is enough for us to drink for several years, and these compressed foods. If I read correctly, they are from pre-war storage.

And what the heck are these snacks! I’ve never seen them before. I just tasted a piece of candy and the sweetness made my taste buds explode.

You must also try a piece. It is said that this kind of thing was everywhere in the world before we were born. Unfortunately, it is gone now. Come on, I will peel a piece for you.

This one is orange flavored.

Although I don’t know what orange is, it smells very good.”

"Have you checked?"

In addition to the Ant King's voice, Zod quickly captured a second voice.

It's a girl.

And he sounded out of breath and weak.

He stopped and looked forward with his penetrating vision. In the X-ray-like perspective, he could see the ant king carefully helping a thin girl out of a structure similar to a biological cabin.

Just from the abnormal heartbeat of the little girl, it can be judged that she is not healthy.

But at this moment, the little girl who was helped up was still warning her brother. With a little complaint, she whispered:

"I told you, Franklin, you must be more careful when choosing your targets. Someone who can take out so many supplies at once is definitely not an ordinary person in the wasteland.

You shouldn't take the risk of showing up, let alone ask for so many things, as this will bring danger to us."

"I know, but after this is done we won't have to go out for several years."

The ant king was a little embarrassed, but while handing Harley's snack gummies to his weak but dignified sister, he explained:

"Aren't we trying to open the machine left by Dr. Pym? So much food and water will be enough to survive until you can decipher the mystery of the machine as long as it is properly stored.

Mom said that the machine is connected to quantum space, and maybe we can leave this hopeless wasteland through it.

That's the key thing.

As for the possible dangers, you don’t have to worry. I have just adjusted the mechanical ant colony to the ‘self-discipline’ mode, and they will build a super large mechanical hive outside the base.

Those who want to catch up must first pass through the attack of the ant colony. Mom said that even in the heroic age before the wasteland, few people could do this."

"You are still too confident. My mind tells me that you have done something very dangerous."

The weak sister was a little reluctant, but she could not rebuke her brother anymore. She knew that Franklin did all these things for her, so after a few seconds, she laughed and said sweetly:

"This candy is so delicious."

"Right? Hahaha, I knew you would like it."

The Ant King laughed loudly and said:

"We have to put it into Dr. Pym's analytical machine, analyze the ingredients, and see if we can transform this taste into ordinary food.

This way, you don’t have to endure monotony when eating. Valeria? Sister! What’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me! Wake up!”

The ant king's voice suddenly became frightened, and Zod, who had been eavesdropping, also heard the little girl's heartbeat weakening rapidly.

A surge of urgency arose in his heart, and the black-clothed superman didn't care about hiding. He rushed forward with both legs and punched open the mechanical door blocked in front.

Amidst the loud noise, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and he strode out into the underground laboratory in front of him, which was not too big but had all kinds of exquisite furnishings.

The ant king was startled by this movement, and he quickly reacted and used his helmet, which he never left behind, to mobilize the mechanical ant colony to attack.

A large number of silver-gray special soldier ants rushed out of the laboratory's storage compartment, making a harsh cutting sound and pounced on Zod, but soon they lost their target and began to circle around in confusion.

This scene made the ant king's teeth crack, and he realized that his greed had really caused trouble.

He constantly issued orders to the ant colony, guiding the awakened mechanical ants to attack Zod, but

Friendly forces!

TM's are all friendly forces! They can't be locked at all!

The information fed back from the mechanical ant colony made the ant king's face quickly turn desperate. However, the courage and perseverance tempered by the wasteland made the child never surrender. He simply grabbed a strange-shaped gun behind him and aimed it at Stride.

Zod is coming.

Dangerous energy gathered on the gun body. When it was activated, he heard the black-clothed superman in front of him say coldly:

"Your sister's heartbeat is rapidly weakening. Look at this poor little girl's pale face and lips. She is suffering from long-term malnutrition and may have some congenital diseases.

The equipment here isn't enough to save her, but my companion can!

He is a very outstanding pharmacist and master of engineering. You have just met him, and he also made the locator in your stomach. Ant King, do you want to fight with me here?

Or give me some time and give your sister some hope?

According to the current situation, she can hold on for another ten minutes at most."

"Franklin! Put down the quantum gun."

The little girl lying in the dilapidated biological cabin covered her heart and said with difficulty:

"You will drain the energy out of the laboratory. Let them put down their weapons."

"Pa"

The weird and dangerous energy weapon was thrown on the ground. The ant king obviously listened to his sister's words. He lay down next to the thin sister and held her hand, whispered her name, then looked at Zod with gritted teeth and said:

"Tell your people to come quickly! I've lifted the ant colony's parade, quickly! If something happens to my sister, I will let everyone nearby be buried with her!"

"It's so murderous, another little lunatic."

Zedd glanced at him, turned around, and quickly reported the situation to Barbara. He said:

"Send Mason over as quickly as possible, the little girl here may not be able to survive."

"Zod, stand there and don't move."

Mason's voice took over the communication, and he said in a gentle tone:

"The hat will activate a precise teleportation to send me to you, but you will endure a certain amount of energy conflict. Are you ready?"

"Let's get started."

The black-clothed Superman glanced at the little girl next to him who was having difficulty breathing, and nodded.

Then a special energy burst out in the Isu armor on his body, like the energy restraint and suppression of invisible chains, making Zod frown but still gritted his teeth and persisted.

A few seconds later, when the energy exploded, a group of magnificent flashing lights lit up next to him, and then Mason walked out of the broken light with a medical kit and Harley.

"magic?"

The Ant King exclaimed, but Mason ignored him and said to Harley beside him:
To be continued...
