Chapter 2546: Xiao Xiao Down (Thirty)
Clark standing in the sun smiled brightly, and Schiller had never realized so deeply as today why Superman was called the God of the World.
If you regard Clark as a friend, then he is not very divine, and is more like a sunny and cheerful boy. But if you look at him from the perspective of an ordinary person who needs help, Superman is a real God.
"Good morning, professor. I brought you the bat cat and some specialties from my hometown." Clark pointed to the living cows and sheep next to him.
Schiller opened the backyard door for him, and Clark walked in. The moment he saw the layout of the house, he shouted in surprise.
"My God, this house is so beautiful. Could it be the work of a decorator? Did you buy these decorations? Professor, this is so unexpected. They fit in here very well. The guests will definitely be surprised."
Clark is always very good at slapping anyone's anxiety with a string of straightforward and undisguised compliments. He has a natural talent in this area. He seems to be completely thoughtless, but he always hits the points that people care about most.
Not surprisingly, Clark began to ask questions, and Schiller, as if rehearsing, began to tell Clark the stories behind these sculptures and decorations, and Clark listened with great fascination.
It was not until more than ten minutes later that Clark came to his senses. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, my God, I forgot that I have to make another trip today."
"Wait, Clark." Schiller stopped him and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I came when I wanted to. After all, I've made so many trips, so it's no big deal to bring some things with me." Clark said and walked out. Schiller wanted to ask a few more questions, but Clark had already flown away.
"He's the only one who would believe those outrageous stories you made up." Bat Cat licked his paw and said, "Don't you feel guilty for fooling him like this?"
Schiller ignored him and stood at the door of the backyard, staring at a cow and a sheep tied to a tree, and asked without turning his head: "Can you slaughter them?"
"Of course I won't. I'm a cat. Do you expect me to do the work of a tiger or a lion?"
"Will tigers and lions do?"
Bat Cat jumped down helplessly, walked to the door, looked at the cows and sheep that were nibbling the grass, and said, "I reminded him that city people are different from rural people. Not everyone knows how to slaughter cows and sheep. There is no slaughterhouse nearby..."
“I need to find an ethical butcher,” Schiller said. “Try to make sure they leave in peace.”
Bat Cat always felt that this statement was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it. When he saw Scarecrow Jonathan and Professor Valentine, he felt that the problem might lie in the definition of morality.
Now the three of them were standing at the door, looking at the cow and the sheep. Jonathan crossed his arms and said, "No, you can't expect us to do this. It's impossible."
"why?"
Jonathan gestured at his own body shape, then pointed at the fat and strong cow and said, "What makes you think I can beat it?"
"Where's your poison gas?"
"What would a cow do if it got scared? Would it collapse and sit there crying? Or would it accelerate in anger and hit my waist, forcing me to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair? Which do you think is more likely?"
Schiller was speechless.
"If I get hit by a hoof, I'll break a bone," Valentine said. "Creatures with hooves are very aggressive, and I have no experience dealing with them."
"Aren't you a butcher?" Schiller asked.
"But the things I'm good at dealing with don't have hooves, and their will to survive isn't that strong. If you give me an anatomical atlas right now..."
Schiller sighed. The fact is that a good butcher may not be a good butcher. In many cases, animals are much more difficult to deal with than humans because conspiracies and tricks are completely ineffective against them.
During lunch, another savior appeared, that was Pamela. As soon as she walked in, she said, "It seems that Clark has been here. When he sent me the plant sample before, I reminded him to send you some ingredients. Don't really use the freezer..."
"Come here, miss." Schiller interrupted Pamela, but this made Raven look at the freezer of the refrigerator in confusion. She really wanted to know what was in there.
Because the refrigerator is very large, she used to look through the refrigerator's refrigerated section, and put vegetables, eggs and other things in the refrigerated layer, which was enough for making a simple breakfast.
Now she regretted not checking out what was in the freezer earlier. The powerful evil aura that day was definitely not an illusion. Could it be that there was a demon portal hidden in the professor's refrigerator?
Pamela walked to the backyard and was also shocked to see the living cows and sheep. She covered her forehead and said, "I swear, I said I asked Clark to deliver food, how come they are still alive?"
"I want to ask this question too, do you have any idea?"
"You..." Pamela looked at Schiller and hesitated. She wanted to ask, "Don't you know how to butcher?" But after thinking about it, if the personality who knows how to butcher came out, it would be hard to say who would be the guest and who would be the food at the banquet.
Pamela summoned two vines and injected nerve agents into the cows and sheep respectively to ensure their silent deaths. She also used the vines to separate their flesh, allowing the lawn to absorb the blood and odor.
"How are Clark and the others?" Schiller asked.
"Their plan was very successful, in fact, a little too successful." Pamela smiled helplessly, walked to the kitchen island, poured herself a glass of water and said, "Do you still remember that the Gotham gang boss had a very amazing big plan?"
"what is that?"
"They are planning to build an undersea tunnel between the East Coast of the United States and Mexico to transport certain contraband."
"Yes, I have heard of it."
"This was achieved by Clark and Hal."
"what?"
"I was also surprised when I first heard about it, but Clark and Hal flew back and forth at first because the Luther Group was willing to purchase Mexican grain at a price much higher than the local purchase price in Mexico and sell it in the metropolis to stabilize grain prices."
Next, through Pamela's narration, Schiller learned about the implementation process of their outrageous plan. It can only be said that there is rationality in the outrageousness, and there is still a hint of outrageousness in the rationality.
Most people know that the local purchase price of agricultural products is actually very low, and the reason why they are sold at such a high price at the market terminal is mostly due to transportation and storage costs.
Lex's idea is actually to use the superhero's superpowers to minimize transportation and storage costs.
In fact, he did it. When he purchased Mexican grain at a price far below the market price but much higher than the local purchase price, Oliver, Hal and Clark all went crazy.
Because of Oliver's previous experience, he is no longer the leader of the Guazhou Revolutionary Army, but there are still many people loyal to him within the group, and these people are also worried about where to sell the new season's grain, and those who oppose Oliver will not go against money.
Mexico has vast tracts of land, but is unable to expand production due to insufficient liquidity. A food crisis is occurring in most cities, and the country is worried about the lack of food supplements with low enough profits. The two of them hit it off.
The method was as agreed before, Hal and Clark used their super powers to fly directly to transport the food.
Hal can use green light energy to wrap a large amount of food, and Clark can also let Oliver load the food into containers over there, and then stack the containers together, and he himself can transport the containers over like a giant freighter.
But this does require manpower. No matter how fast they fly, they still have to consider food security and they can't make many trips a day.
So Oliver suggested, since they were already working hard, why not do something that would solve the problem once and for all?
So they went to Lex together and proposed the possibility of building an aerospace orbit. With these two supermen escorting them, as long as the technology is not a problem, then nothing will be a problem.
But the problem is that Lex is unwilling to do this because it will attract too much attention. It will also be difficult for him to have a good time in Congress. He will have to deal with their huge demands from time to time. If others know that he has this skill, he will have no peace of mind.
So Lex proposed that the sky is the territory of human beings, but the seabed is not. People's exploration of the deep sea is even more superficial than their exploration of the universe. Since you still have Arthur as your big killer, why don't we go directly to the seabed.
After hearing their ideas, Arthur also put forward his own request. He could definitely help, and even the construction of the underwater tunnel could be done by the Atlanteans, but Atlantis also needed benefits.
Although the people of Atlantis have now evolved into sea people, it does not mean that they do not miss the glory of the land. Human chemicals have caused too much pollution to the ocean, which is equivalent to them being strangled all the time, which is not easy.
Arthur suggested that the Atlanteans should have an island as their land territory and as a buffer between them and the land. In case humans started a nuclear war and polluted the ocean one day, they would have somewhere to go.
It just so happened that the Caribbean Sea was full of islands, the ocean water was mild, and the underwater environment was more suitable for the survival of the Atlanteans. Oliver suggested that they first establish a base in the Caribbean Sea and develop together with the Atlanteans.
In fact, this was a last resort. Oliver had been excluded from the Guadalajara Revolutionary Army. He knew that everything would ultimately depend on the Mexicans themselves, but he was reluctant to let such good land be wasted. He decided to change his base and observe the overall situation from the edge. The islands in the Caribbean Sea were a good choice.
So the parties reached an agreement. Arthur, together with the Atlanteans, Clark and Hal, worked hard to build the underwater tunnel, while Lex sent people and vehicles to transport large quantities of food back.
With food as capital, Lex could shake the foundation of the metropolitan system, but he knew he couldn't do it all at once, otherwise it would be too easy to be seen.
Now the food market in the metropolis is still a free market, but with the influx of more low-priced food, the Luther Group has gained more market confidence while making profits, and its stock price has even risen instead of falling during the Great Depression.
This attracted more small capitals to gather around him, but what they didn't know was that what Lex Luthor wanted was not to go against the market trend, but to go against the will of heaven. He didn't intend to fish in troubled waters, but to change the world.
