Chapter 180
"Bang!"
The TV suddenly went out, then came back on after a few seconds, accompanied by a buzzing sound and static on the screen.
You are not alone!
A deep male voice suddenly came from the television.
"You are not alone."
A single sentence kept repeating itself, and the text of that sentence also appeared on the television screen...
English version, Chinese version, various language versions!
The same sound, the same words, appearing simultaneously on television sets around the world!
To be fair, the Kryptonians' technology is quite advanced. Before the spaceship even landed and before any actual contact was made, the television network was hijacked and controlled.
Not just televisions, but mobile phones too.
Lois Lane took out her phone, which displayed the same content and audio.
Then, the scene suddenly changed, and a face that looked like it had been pixelated with countless mosaics appeared.
"I am General Zod. I come from a distant planet. I have traveled across the vast sea of stars to find you."
"You have sheltered one of my people, and now I demand that you hand him over!"
"For some reason, he chose to hide his existence from you. He tried his best to blend in with you. He looks similar to you, but he is not of the same race!"
"If anyone knows his location, then the fate of your planet is in your hands!"
"Kal-El, did you hear me? Surrender within 24 hours, or let the whole world pay the price!"
"Call out!"
The sound stopped, and the TV returned to normal.
But for everyone, this is just the beginning.
General Zod's declaration was broadcast live globally, meaning that almost everyone on Earth now knows that aliens have invaded Earth and that an alien has been hiding on Earth all along.
Well, there's more than just Kal-El on Earth. Not counting those related to Su Quan, there's also Martian Manhunter and Mongal was killed by Su Quan in Dream Prison!
Besides these, there are countless other unknown facts!
However, for ordinary people, this was indeed the first time they had learned that aliens actually existed and had even come to Earth, which inevitably caused them to panic.
The employees outside the office looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they were not agitated or panicked, they were all frightened. If one of them broke down at this moment, it would immediately trigger a chain reaction.
Lois Lane in the office was the same, but because of Su Quan, she was not completely unaware and was relatively calmer, since fear comes from the unknown!
Lois Lane glanced at Su Quan instinctively and was surprised to find that there was no panic or fear on his face, but rather a faint contempt and disdain!
For some reason, Lois Lane's panic disappeared, and she quickly calmed down.
"You, you're human, aren't you?"
"Should we verify it?"
"How... how do we verify that?"
Su Quan shrugged. "The best way is, of course, to have an in-depth conversation."
Lois Lane, realizing what was happening, couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "What time is it, and you're still thinking about these things?"
"What time is it?"
"The end of the world? The destruction of Earth? It's just General Zod from Krypton bringing a few kittens and a few dogs to Earth. The sky isn't going to fall!"
If General Zod had arrived twenty or thirty years earlier, Su Quan have been very excited; now—
With Superman, Supergirl, the Superman Legion, and even a half-breed Superman, General Zod's appeal has plummeted!
What did General Zod have?
Kryptonian abilities? Kryptonian Spaceship?
Abilities? Su Quan has stacked them over 500 times. A few more times than them doesn't make much difference, and a few less times than them doesn't make much difference either.
Spaceships? He already has them, and they're better than General Zod's in terms of technology and scale. Plus, the scientists in the Superman Legion have mastered Krypton technology. If he wants a spaceship, he can build one himself.
As long as we have enough materials, we can make as many as we want!
For Su Quan, General Zod's greatest value now is helping the Birds of Prey and Arkham Asylum gain fame, and— Doomsday!
Especially Doomsday!
The monster Lex Luthor created using General Zod's corpse and his own blood possesses powerful regenerative and evolutionary abilities. Once killed, it can regenerate and evolve into the corresponding ability, and it cannot be killed twice with the same ability!
The same move cannot be used twice on a Saint!
Well, in short, this is an extremely abnormal ability.
In the movie, the three superheroes joined forces to fight Doomsday. Although Batman was somewhat passive, his efforts were negligible. In the end, it was Superman who used Kryptonite to Doomsday and take it down with him.
Su Quan is not Kryptonians; he simply possesses Kryptonian abilities, so Kryptonite has no effect on him.
If one were to acquire Doomsday's regenerative evolutionary abilities, combined with their own regenerative abilities, wow, that would truly be like standing atop the highest peak, surveying all the lesser mountains below.
Just tell me, who else?!
Therefore, General Zod must die, and his body and the Krypton ship must fall into Lex Luthor's hands!
"Ring ring ring—ring ring ring—"
My phone rang.
Lois Lane glanced at the phone; it wasn't hers. Then she saw Su Quan answer the phone and speak casually.
"General Swanwick."
"Yeah, I saw the news. I recognize him. He's Kryptonians. Hand him over? You mean Kal-El? Forget it. Don't tell me I'm not going to hand him over. Even if I did, they wouldn't leave. Their goal is to get the Life Core Codex from Kal-El and then transform Earth into New Krypton."
"Yes, Kal-El is one of my people, I've raised him from a young age."
"Let's talk in person? That's fine. By the way, I might bring someone with me, um, a reporter!"
Su Quan glanced at the excited Lois Lane and hung up the phone.
"You, you can take me with you?" Lois Lane was very excited.
Big news! This is absolutely big news, and it's the most authoritative, first-hand, exclusive news!
Su Quan nodded. "Yes, I can not only take you there, but also give you an exclusive interview opportunity. I can also let you interview Kal-El, or even— General Zod!"
"But--"
"You've already been fired from the newspaper, so why should I give you this opportunity? Do you believe that many people would fight tooth and nail for this opportunity and agree to any conditions I ask?"
Lois Lane said bitterly, "What do you want?"
Su Quan looked at her and chuckled, "Be my canary, and I'll help you with any interviews, not just this one, but any interviews you'll ever do!"
"Superman? Alien? Either way, it's absolutely exclusive, and first-hand information!"
"I can even make you the deputy editor-in-chief!"
"These are my conditions. Now, tell me your choice!"
Lois Lane lowered her head and remained silent. She hesitated. If it was just resigning, just being an associate editor, she wouldn't care at all.
But it's news!
She cares!
This was her lifelong pursuit and belief.
Lois Lane thought about it a lot, and finally she looked up at Su Quan and said in a deep voice, "I agree!"
"A wise choice. Follow me, and you will see the world as it truly is, and you will see a wider sky!"
"Wait for me, I'm going to get the equipment!"
Lois Lane is also decisive and efficient. Once she has made a decision, she will not hesitate or waver!
She turned around, opened the door, and ran out. A few minutes later, she came running back with her camera and recording equipment.
"Whoosh!"
A golden Teleportation Portal opened, and Su Quan led an excited Lois Lane to General Swanwick's location.
This is the main command center. A huge screen on the wall displays images of the Kryptonian Spaceship, rows of computers are neatly arranged, and soldiers are focused on their own tasks.
General Swanwick had two people with him: Carol Ferris, who had become his secretary, and an old man in civilian clothes.
Su Quan knew him; he was Professor Hamilton of STAR Labs and also a senior advisor to the military.
Su Quan and Lois Lane attracted a lot of attention, but most of the people here knew things that ordinary people didn't, so while they were surprised, they weren't too shocked.
Lois Lane, on the contrary, was surprised by this method of teleportation that allowed her to go from one place to another in a single step.
However, her professional instincts led her to immediately turn on the recording equipment and start filming.
"She—" Martian Manhunter frowned and glanced at Lois Lane.
"Lois Lane, a reporter for the Daily Planet, is one of my people!" Su Quan introduced her, then asked the Martian Manhunter, "So, what are your thoughts?"
