Chapter 2876: The Battle of the Brick People! (End)
The scene fell into an awkward situation——
The recycling plan triggered by the life factor is actually most likely a misunderstanding, that is to say, the life factor replenishment plan and the recycling plan are actually two plans. The real life factor replenishment plan is actually the Waynes taking the previous generation of superheroes on vacation.
Because they left in such a hurry, the Waynes only had time to ask Alfred to help take care of the children, while they themselves were responsible for taking care of the previous generation of superheroes.
It is not surprising that the Waynes made this decision. If the stability of Gotham was indeed maintained by the previous generation of superheroes, then this kind couple would probably choose to sacrifice their small family to help the superheroes who gave everything for the safety of Gotham heal their wounds.
But in fact, it is not considered a sacrifice for the family. After all, the Wayne family is so rich. It is the 20th century and communications are still relatively developed. Making a video call is not a problem at all. There is also such a dedicated old housekeeper to help take care of the family. At most, the parents are on a long business trip.
The problem lies with Batman. He never gave Alfred a chance to speak, so he never knew that his parents were actually out on vacation. This sounds ridiculous, but it is not impossible to happen in this universe.
It would be fine if this were the case. After all, under Schiller's advice, Batman's way of communication has improved. As long as some time passes, Batman will learn the truth from Alfred, but the problem is that now the Waynes are back.
This made Batman very embarrassed. He really thought that his parents were dead, and he successfully made everyone in the Justice League believe so. If he now admitted that he had known for a long time that his parents were not dead, it would be equivalent to deceiving his teammates. At least Superman and Wonder Woman could not accept such a deception.
But if he said that he really thought his parents were dead, the Waynes would definitely ask him why he didn't learn the truth from Alfred, and then he would know that he had never really communicated with the old butler in all these years. Wouldn't the Waynes break his legs?
Batman began to wink at Schiller frantically.
Batman thought that this psychiatrist was probably the only one who could solve this terrible situation.
Schiller made a "money" gesture to him.
Batman deliberately fell behind the team and said to Schiller in a low voice: "I have collected many rare sculptures in the Batcave. If you can help me solve the problem, I will give them all to you."
Schiller snapped his fingers and said, "Make sure you complete the task. Listen to me."
He whispered something in Batman's ear, and Batman nodded repeatedly. Soon he came to the side of the main universe Batman and discussed in a low voice with the main universe Batman for a long time. His words were a little heated, as if he was bargaining.
Soon Batman spoke up, saying, "With so many people going to the manor, I'm afraid there won't be enough drinks and alcohol. I'll go buy some."
After saying this, without waiting for the Waynes to say anything, he pulled the main universe Batman and disappeared into the crowd. The two exchanged clothes in the warehouse of a convenience store near the airport.
When they walked out, the Batman from the main universe was wearing the equipment of the local Batman, while the local Batman was wearing the clothes of the Batman from the main universe, and the two seemed to have completely exchanged identities.
The two of them returned to the team, and the main universe Batman, who was dressed as the local Batman, took the initiative to get into a car with the Waynes.
"You don't look well." Thomas said, "Is there any misunderstanding with your friends?"
Batman seemed very silent, with the corners of his mouth turned down, showing his gloomy and dark temperament to the fullest. After a while, he said, "I fully respect your choice, father and mother, are you having a good holiday?"
The Waynes looked at each other, and Martha held Batman's hand and said, "I'm really sorry, little Bruce. Please believe me, the situation at that time was really dangerous to the point where we had to leave."
"I'm sorry I didn't get your call." The main universe Batman said to himself, "Because I'm really busy. This city is as dangerous as it was when I was a kid. I don't have enough help."
"But we have informed Barbara..."
"No, I'm not dealing with gangs anymore." Batman said, "This city is getting crazier and crazier, with serial killers, sociopaths, and mad scientists appearing one after another. I have to spend all my time arming myself to become a weapon against evil."
Martha and Thomas both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Tears welled up in Martha's eyes immediately. She said, "I'm sorry, we really didn't know... Several of our good friends were on the verge of life and death. When we first arrived on the island, we were constantly rescuing them. Later, several of our friends reached the end of their lives, and we searched all over the world for ways to prolong their lives..."
Batman sighed and said, "I understand you, and I have never regretted my choice, but I don't ask my friends to understand me. I know how sad they were when I rejected their invitation to the party."
Martha immediately walked over, hugged Batman and said, "It's okay, we can help you explain to them. One person carries a city on his shoulders. No one can say that you didn't do well enough, my child."
At this time, the main universe Batman was thinking in his heart that this bastard's tricks were really effective.
Thomas nodded and said, "That's right, Bruce. Don't worry. If you are so busy that you don't even have time to call your parents, they won't blame you for not going to the party."
"They all thought you were dead because that's what the media said." Batman said, "I didn't want them to think I was lying to them, but I didn't tell them the truth because the only reason I could explain why I was so busy that I didn't have any personal time was because I was avenging my parents. I really didn't want to lose them."
Martha hugged him and cried, then said, "Don't worry, I will explain it to them in person. After all, we left too hastily back then."
When getting off the car, the main universe Batman made a "done" gesture to the local Batman, and the local Batman widened his eyes.
As soon as they got out of the car, Martha and Thomas enthusiastically held Superman's hand and said, "I'm really sorry that we lied to you. We can't let more people know that the previous generation of superheroes are still alive, otherwise they will definitely be in trouble."
"As for why Bruce didn't tell you, it was also my request that he do so. It's not that I don't trust you, but the less you know about this matter, the better. You have to know that several people were seriously injured and on the verge of death that year, and it was too difficult to transfer the injured..."
When Superman heard this, he didn't care what Batman had said to them. Instead, he frowned and said, "Oh my God, are they okay? Was the situation that serious back then?"
"Don't mention it." Thomas said, "It's all because we were too eager to propose that raw material recycling plan..."
"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused." Wonder Woman said, "So the Life Factor Replenishment Plan and the Raw Materials Recycling Plan are not the same plan?"
"Of course not." Thomas shook his head and said, "Why do you think it's the same project? Of course, the research on these two projects is basically parallel, but it doesn't mean they have any direct relationship."
"So what's the matter with the raw material recycling program?"
"This is a new technology," Thomas said. "Generally speaking, the building materials we use need to be made from synthetic plastic raw materials, but through my research, I found a way to reconstruct old and worn building materials through chemical recycling."
"It is obvious that whoever masters this recycling technology will control the future market lifeline, but unfortunately, my research results were leaked by an insider of the group."
"Almost all families and gangs in Gotham rely on the chemical industry for their livelihood. Plastic raw material synthesis is the lifeblood of their industry. They are determined not to let go, so they sent many people to assassinate us."
"As a last resort, we went to the Justice Headquarters in New York to seek support. The superheroes believed that this would be a technology that could completely change society and greatly ease our resource constraints, so they have been protecting us. We also conducted secret experiments at the ACE Chemical Plant."
When Thomas got to this point, he sighed and said, "But it was around this time that I discovered that the speed at which my companions' bodies repaired began to slow down. This was because they were frequently injured, and new injuries were piled on top of old ones before they healed. Through this, I discovered the existence of the Life Factor."
"Martha and I have conducted research and found that if you are repeatedly injured in a short period of time, the body's repair speed will be greatly reduced, and it is irreversible. If this continues, all superheroes will die completely."
"In order to divert those people's attention and to preserve the technology for the recycling plan, we planned a fake death. We didn't intend to leave in such a hurry, but those crazy guys arranged an attack, which put the two heroes who were protecting us in danger."
"In order to treat them, we had to transfer them that night, but it was not easy to transfer them. We paid a lot of sacrifices before we finally made them believe that we and the previous generation of superheroes were dead."
Superman sighed and said, "I can imagine how hard it is, and your kid is responsible for the law and order of this city all by himself. He's so busy that he doesn't even have time to attend the party."
"We feel guilty about this, but we had no other choice at the time. If all these superheroes really died, then the city would really be finished."
"So the chemical pool at the ACE Chemical Plant is the real result of the raw material recycling program?" Batman from the main universe took the opportunity to ask.
Thomas nodded and said, "Yes, we disguised it as an ordinary chemical raw material pool, but in fact, as long as you throw those severely worn building parts into it, they will be transformed into chemical raw materials that are no different from synthetic plastic raw materials."
"For decades, we have been sending Alfred employees to conduct continuous trials, and the results are very encouraging. The recycling rate of raw materials can reach 100%."
Everyone was stunned by this conclusion. Superman asked, "So, we are almost no longer dependent on synthetic plastic raw materials, and everything in the world can be 100% recycled?"
“That’s right, the real era of environmental protection has arrived.”
Schiller was thinking about something else. He said, "But if you combine it with synthetic plastic raw materials, you have double the means of production?"
"That's right. Everything that exists in our world can be completely recycled, and synthetic plastic raw materials are only used to replenish, which is almost negligible wear and tear."
Schiller finally laughed and said, "Then I think we can discuss a deal - we are in need of a lot of building materials, so please name a price."
Thomas and Martha looked at each other, and Schiller looked at the local Batman and said, "In the meantime, we have to go back and ask Alfred if he has received a special invitation recently."
"What invitation?"
“A super cool party you definitely can’t miss.”
The building block people are invading reality!
