Chapter 3601 Edge of Tomorrow (Forty-Seven)
"You're finally back. I thought you wouldn't be able to make it to the new semester." Schiller said to Victor who walked in, sitting behind his desk.
"What's wrong with Pamela? Why would she want to take people to Krypton?" Victor sat down on the chair next to him and said, "Is it you who did this again?"
"You guessed wrong this time." Schiller said, "Pamela is from the Justice League. She has always been working for them. It has nothing to do with me."
"Then you should know what they are doing, right?" Victor said helplessly, "The Justice League has been gone for almost a month, there should be some movement."
“I’m sorry, but I really don’t know,” Schiller said. “I’m getting involved in this purely to help you get more funding.”
"But we didn't actually get much." Victor sighed and said, "Amanda is simply unreasonable. If she were a little smarter, our income would have increased tenfold or a hundredfold..."
Victor's tone was filled with regret, and Schiller could see that he really counted on Amanda. But unfortunately, Amanda was not Nick, and her brain was not flexible. Even if she knew how SHIELD operated, she could not imitate it.
Schiller's meddling didn't seem to have any effect, and he failed to make the Federal Shield as profitable as S.H.I.E.L.D. But the main problem was not Schiller's, but Amanda's.
If Nick came, then Schiller would have created a perfect opportunity for him. Because if the federal government also chose to side with Brainiac, then the remaining opponents would all be the forces of the Federal Shield.
In other words, the negotiations between Congress and Brainiac were not an end, but a beginning.
It is impossible for everyone on earth to surrender. To be precise, only those politicians would choose Brainiac over Amanda, because they are worried that Amanda will come after them, and would rather take a long-term poison than suffer a short-term loss.
But there are still farsighted people in this world. They clearly realize that even if Brainiac is not causing any harm now, he must have other purposes. They will definitely not side with Brainiac.
Such people not only have a long-term vision, but are usually smart and have some power, making them excellent candidates for support. The federal government's move is equivalent to pushing this group of people directly to Amanda's side.
As long as Amanda can find a way to contact the leader of this group of people, there will be great potential.
Although Federal Shield is an American organization, the world is not just the United States. The Soviet Union is not dead yet, and the strength of several countries in East Asia should not be underestimated. Since the federal government has chosen to betray, it is not considered treason to contact them.
Not to mention the long distance, even if we can get in touch with the KGB in the United States, we can fight with the FBI for a long time, and maybe we can get some funds from the other side of the ocean.
In short, if it was Nick Fury who experienced this, he might have taken advantage of the chaos to organize a behemoth like S.H.I.E.L.D. Unfortunately, there is no Nick in this universe, only Amanda, and Amanda can only fail miserably.
Although they didn't get any funding, it wasn't completely fruitless. The biggest achievement was to persuade the federal government to side with Brainiac, which would speed up Brainiac's control of the Earth.
Schiller is not really doing this for Brainiac's own good, but the sooner he rules the Earth, the sooner his intentions will be exposed. A short pain is worse than a long one.
It is better to solve it before the school officially starts than to wait until school starts and then be busy all day with classes and homework grading.
But now it seems that the Justice League is planning to take action.
Batman and his crew came to the surface of Krypton through the green lantern portal on Earth. But this place is obviously far away from the center, and even has some natural scenery.
No one had time to sigh. Batman looked around and found that the energy on the entire planet had basically been restored, so he short-circuited a small spaceship driven by an ordinary person, charged it, and flew towards the central area.
"We need to find the laboratory where Brainiac was created." Batman said, "We should be able to find more information about him there."
"Then we have to make some noise," Pamela said, "first attract Brainiac's attention, and then sneak into the laboratory to look for it. Otherwise, if he finds us, he will definitely try his best to stop us."
"I'll go with the Vengeance Demon," Pamela continued, "Our abilities are quite conspicuous, and we'll definitely draw Brainiac's attention. You guys are good at infiltration, so find the information as soon as possible and we'll retreat."
Batman nodded and agreed to the plan, because he could see that the vengeful demon and Pamela were not in the same group, and if they supervised each other, he would not be afraid of them causing trouble.
After approaching the central area, several people did not dare to be careless, because Brainiac must be keeping a close eye on this place.
They split into two groups: Pamela and the Demon of Vengeance, and the two Batmans and Deathstroke, one south and one north, running in two different directions.
"You make some noise here," Pamela said, "and I'm looking for something myself, so don't tell them."
The vengeful demon narrowed his eyes at her, as if hesitating whether to stop her. Pamela looked at him and said, "Believe it or not, the Justice League asked me to do this. This whole plan was theirs."
"Who are they going against? Brainiac?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just do your job well. If this matter is done, the Justice League will not treat you unfairly."
The vengeful demon was originally inclined towards the Justice League, but after hearing what Pamela said, he suddenly felt like he was on some pirate ship.
But in the end he did not stop Pamela. On the one hand, he might not be able to stop her. On the other hand, if the Justice League was really preparing something but he disrupted it, affecting their arrangements and further affecting the safety of the earth, that would be bad.
Pamela slipped away alone. The vengeful demon simply released the Vulcan form, smashing and destroying everything in the city, burning several buildings and smashing cars into various buildings.
Brainiac soon discovered the anomaly here. He called in the defense robots, which were not made on Earth, but were real Kryptonian specialties. Although the Kryptonian civilization was not good at making robots, their advanced level of materials science and mechanical engineering made their robots more advanced than humans by more than one or two orders of magnitude.
Even so, it was made of metal after all. The high temperature flames of the vengeance demon were the nemesis of all metals. He fought dozens of them alone without losing, forcing Brainiac to pay more attention to him.
Pamela did not stay in the vicinity for too long. She did not go to the vicinity of the research institute, but came to the Krypton History Museum, and did not wander around inside for a long time, but went straight to the target on the top floor.
Unlike humans, the lower the level of Krypton's history museum, the closer it is to modern times; the higher the level, the older it is. Pamela went all the way to the top floor, where she wanted to find information about the Kryptonians.
After leaving here, Pamela went to the noble district, where the Kryptonian parliament members lived. She searched there and took away a lot of information.
When Batman also found the information they wanted, Pamela reunited with the Demon of Vengeance and went back to the intersection where they had parted before as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on?" Pamela asked anxiously, "There are more and more robots. We can't stay here for too long."
"No problem. We found some research and development materials from that time. I think we may be able to find loopholes in its system or the underlying protocol through these research and development materials."
"Then let's not stay here, let's go."
Just as they were about to leave, countless robots jumped down from the roof. Pamela sighed and said, "Don't worry about them, just drive all the way to the portal."
After she finished speaking, her eyes glowed with a faint green light. All the robots were pulled apart by the vines, and the small spaceship rushed left and right, successfully avoiding the strafing of various weapons, and staggered towards the portal.
After returning to Earth successfully, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Batman said, "I need some time to conduct research, probably 2 to 3 days. But I need a place where I won't be discovered by Brainiac."
"That's difficult," Pamela said. "It looks like Brainiac has reached an agreement with the federal government, and now the entire United States is under his control. But I think you can go to a place without Internet access, a relatively primitive area that should not have fallen into Brainiac's clutches."
The two Batmen looked at each other and immediately thought of the same place, that is Blüdhaven. Although Blüdhaven is a seaside city, it has large tracts of forests and canyons. At the bottom of many canyons, there is no network, not even phone signal.
And Batman knew that there were many air-raid shelters built there during the Cold War, some of which stored daily necessities. Going there to study could at least find Brainiac's weaknesses before he actually took over the world.
Batman and his friends left in a hurry. Pamela breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to her laboratory and used the magic of the green of all things to block all cameras and signals, and then began to study the pile of information she had brought back from Krypton.
Even though Batman has two people, their research speed is far slower than Pamela's. After all, Pamela only needs to find something and doesn't need to do any real research; Batman's target is Brainiac, which is much more difficult.
Finally, Pamela found what she wanted. It was a string of Kryptonian numbers, a bit like a human phone number, but actually a cosmic signal band used for directional broadcasting to a certain location in the universe, just like calling someone.
Then, Pamela took out a strange object from a box. It looked like an ordinary box with two antennas on the top, like a radio, but the green light logo on the back indicated that it was a device used by the Green Lantern Corps, which could be called a "cosmic phone."
The phone number in her hand could be dialed with this device. Pamela dialed the number. After a sound that was very similar to a busy tone on a human phone, the call was connected.
"Hello?" Pamela said in English. "Can you hear me?"
There was obviously someone on the other end, but no one responded. Pamela spoke very quickly to the other end: "Whoever you are, I hope you can help us. There is a very evil artificial intelligence invading the earth, and it seems to be from Krypton. If you are an alien civilization, can you come and help us? Our address is..."
The other party didn't answer, but didn't hang up either. After Pamela finished speaking, she made a series of noises around her and then hung up the phone, pretending to be interrupted by something.
After the man on the other end put down the phone, he was silent for a while, then turned to his subordinate and said, "Go and ask Lord Desaad to tell him that there is news from Krypton again."
