Chapter 599 Kryptonite Arms
Kansas, off the highway.
A barren plain intertwined with the skyline, vast and vast, and in the midst of this barrenness stood a restaurant.
It's an old restaurant, its age can be seen vaguely from the mottled walls. The words "Food and Gas" are written under the sign hanging at the door. The windows were cleaned spotlessly, and a fresh breath hit your face when you pushed the door open.
"Good morning gentlemen."
The restaurant owner wore an apron and raised his head with a smile, but froze slightly when he saw the person coming.
Superman and Batman just walked in from the main entrance and stood in front of the bar.
This is not a guest you wait for every day.
"You must be Peter." Superman said with rare seriousness.
Batman's expression is the same as before, and his voice is also: "We need to ask a few questions."
Boss Pete's expression only froze for a moment, and then he quickly smiled again: "I thought there was something wrong, no problem. I can ask as many as I want. But before that, how about a cup of coffee?" "
He picked up a cup of steaming coffee.
"The coffee we have here is great, it's the best in the world. If you don't believe me, look at the brand over there."
He motioned to a sign hanging on the door that read “World’s Finest.”
Interestingly, the combination of Superman and Batman is also called this.
"No, thank you." Superman declined, "Has anything strange happened here lately, Pete?"
Peter was drinking coffee by himself and thinking.
"Well, it depends on what you mean by strange. As for me, um."
The moment he put down his coffee, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly took out a gun from under the table.
".I've long been used to it!"
It was not an ordinary firearm, but a silver mechanical rifle that seemed to have come out of a science fiction set. A complex structure with green energy shining in the glass tubular passage.
Kryptonite light.
A kryptonite rifle.
Half a day ago, Superman and Batman's global search for kryptonite came to an end. All the kryptonite residues that Shen You marked for them had been cleaned up, and even molecular-level kryptonite particles were cleaned up by Shen You.
Their scope began to spread to the periphery of the earth, and a small number of kryptonite remnants in the nearby space area.
For example, on a piece of asteroid debris.
"Superman."
Batman, wearing a Batsuit, is flying towards Superman with air jets coming from behind him. At that moment, Superman was concentrating on using his heat vision to cut up the Kryptonite fragments in the asteroid.
"Is there a situation?"
"There is a problem. There are kryptonite radiation residues there, which proves that kryptonite existed not long ago." Batman said solemnly, "But someone has already been one step ahead of us."
".The kryptonite that was originally there was mined away."
After some searching, they found an abandoned tool on the asteroid, a damaged space drill that was left at the scene. Stuck in the surface of the asteroid. Superman pulled it out.
They found a LOGO on the surface of the tool with "ARGUS" clearly written on it.
This is the equipment of the Sky Eye Society.
Superman quickly figured it out. The last kryptonite they are looking for is mined by none other than the officials of the country where they live.
"A top-secret project of the Sky Eye."
Back at the cafe, Batman said.
"The secrets that are covered up even internally are almost impossible to detect from the outside. But I don't need to see it with my own eyes to guess what the project content is.
They're making weapons, Superman. They're working on ways to kill you. "
Superman: "?"
Big Lan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe it.
"Really? But that doesn't make sense." He said blankly, "We should be in the same camp, right? Fight against crime and invaders?"
"They don't care about criminals, they only care about invaders." Batman said, "And in their eyes, you are one of them."
Superman: "."
He wasn't used to seeing things the way Batman did.
He doesn't like doing it either.
But he also knows that Batman is always right. And a lot of times when he realizes this, he feels a little hurt.
"Don't take it to heart, they are not targeting anyone."
Shen You, who was sitting at the computer, said casually.
"They also have a response team working on how to kill me."
"real?"
Superman raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Shen You said, "I am the captain."
Superman: "."
Batman: "."
But this seems to be the time for Agent Mike Williams to appear. A top-secret Sky Eye project, and he happens to be a senior Sky Eye executive.
In the past period of time, Agent Mike Williams, the bionic stand-in created by Shen You, has never stopped being active.
He led the team to recover high-risk magic equipment, fought against and defeated deep-sea mutant creatures, and led the team to recover high-risk biochemical weapons to prevent a biochemical crisis that might have swept the entire city.
More and more beautiful resumes, more and more powerful records. The legendary captain has been undefeated in the past few years, and his reputation within the organization is getting higher and higher. He has become a legendary idol in the eyes of new Sky Eye agents.
Now Captain Williams has been promoted to a high-level position and has even been personally commended by the president himself.
In the comics of the New 52 era, the Sky Eye Society was originally a super management organization established to help the government communicate with the Justice League, and its commander was Steve Trevor.
In today's world, Steve is an ancient man from the Second World War, and the functions that were originally held by him seem to have gradually fallen to Mike Williams. This also makes the burden on Agent Mike's shoulders heavier and heavier, and his authority level is second only to Director Amanda Waller herself in the eyes of the whole world.
But Shen You unexpectedly discovered that even so, Mike's authority was only enough to find a plan called "Kryptonite Arms" in the Sky Eye database, but he actually had no access authority.
Director Waller is the only person in the entire organization who has access.
What secret did she guard so carefully that even her closest right-hand man didn't dare to reveal it?
Of course, this is not a problem for Shen You. The firewall based on earth technology is useless in front of Shen You. Using legal authority to query it is convenient and gives people face. But that doesn't mean he can't see it if Waller doesn't let him see it.
Soon the entire file called "Kryptonite Armed Forces" was unfolded in front of him.
"Weaponized kryptonite, pulse radiation, high temperature and impact that melts through steel, I see. Even if it is not used on Superman, kryptonite itself as a power source is a good material.
And kryptonite missiles, kryptonite gas. Huh? "
He unexpectedly discovered that there was an additional encryption item in this top-secret file. Not only does it require authorization from the director, but also a password that can be changed in real time before querying.
It's called "American Boy."
Of course, it's still a brute force attack.
Soon he saw the contents of the file, the secrets Waller had guarded so carefully, and the reasons why she did what she did.
He realized just as quickly.
These secrets may be the trigger for Amanda Waller's downfall.
