The current situation is a compromise between both parties.
Jason is waiting for a glimmer of hope to appear, and the virus is just growing stronger with peace of mind, slowly waiting for the moment to eat away all Jason.
After all, the fundamentals are still on the side of the virus, and in the entire Gotham, there are not many people who can fully support the transformation of the virus.
Ninety-nine percent of ordinary people can only live a maximum of twenty-four hours after being infected.
Some Metahumans may be able to last longer, but if their will is not strong enough, they will completely become virus puppets once infected (such as Hawkman). It seems that they have been strengthened by the alienation of the virus, but in fact, the physical life has already entered the countdown.
Two days? Three days?
Metahumans has its own differences, and the specific Jason cannot be calculated, but there is no doubt that once the hope he is waiting for does not come, at the moment of dawn, the entire Gotham will completely become Death Realm.
At that time, Jason's belief will definitely collapse, and the virus will finally get a complete body. Without any obstruction, the virus that has been tightly bound by Jason will spread from Gotham to the whole world.
Turn your gaze to the thick green fog in the sky that seems to never dissipate. After penetrating everything, the sky is still pitch black.
The maximum infection time of twenty-four hours for ordinary people is not long anymore.
"Zhent? Shane?"
Jason once again silently recited these two names in his heart.
He didn't know the other person.
After all, in his world, at least before his death, there was no such a number one person in that world.
But after he was reborn in this world, he heard this name more than once.
Nightwing said this name before being infected.
Justice League also said this name before its fall.
After Batman was seriously injured and fell into coma, Jason also found this name in Batcave's computer.
In Batman's evaluation, Shane/Zhent is a guy who may resort to quite extreme measures at any time.
An unstable and loveless person.
Even Superman, who was once regarded as hope by people all over the world, held his head and warned before those dark blood vessels completely covered his face, and when his mind was on the verge of collapse.
"Don't go after Teen Titans, otherwise he is likely to take some extreme measures, and may even cut off a part of the earth and throw it into the universe to avoid the global spread of the virus."
Jason hadn't fully heard it at that time, but Primordial Virus, who was living in his body, heard it first.
While Jason didn't react, he immediately controlled Oracle to start monitoring the Teen Titans base, and erased all external network messages that might lead to the leakage of "Gotham's super virus outbreak".
Jason wanted to interfere with Primordial Virus at that time, but the virus consciousness residing in him suddenly exploded like a panting cat.
Immediately issue a serious warning to Jason. This part is also an act that interferes with the virus' pursuit of its eternal goal.
Unless Jason is sure to give up limiting the virus to Gotham, he must immediately concentrate all his willpower and fight to the death with the will of the virus at all costs.
"There are less than seven hours left. Considering some elderly people and children with weak constitutions, the time may be halved. You should have arrived at Gotham already. I don't know how sure you are now."
"What? Watchtower doesn't have any ambush?"
After Shane contacted Kara and Blue Beetle who arrived at Watchtower through Constantine, he was a little surprised for a while.
In his expectation, for this kind of virus that can have self-awareness, the first thing that should logically be noticed is Lex Luthor, who designed and cultivated it.
When Kara and Blue Beetle were ordered to rush to Watchtower, Shane had expected that the virus might have killed Luthor, who was imprisoned in the cell and was helpless.
Or there are a bunch of powerful infected people ambushing inside Watchtower, crouching down anyone who might come to rescue Luthor 0
As a result, Watchtower had no means of prevention at all, as if it had been deliberately ignored.
Shane is completely confused.
"So how is Luthor doing now?"
"Not very good."
Due to several transfers in the middle, it was first used by Constantine in order to open Council of Eternity for the second time. Portal, the Magic origin of the fraudulent Shazam, that little lump of lightning, Magic communicated with Shazam who was still busy with the Metropolis evacuation mission.
Later, Shazam, who was dissatisfied with Constantine, flew up to Watchtower while cursing. Then Shazam acted as the transfer station, and Blue Beetle acted as the speaker and microphone, allowing both parties to successfully communicate.
Finally, Kara talks to Shane.
"Blue Beetle checked part of Watchtower's log. Considering the danger of Luthor, Justice League only sent one meal and water to Luthor a day."
"After that, Luthor took the initiative to knock over a dinner plate because he was inexplicably angry. Then he meditated for several days and drew pictures out of thin air in prison. When he was most obsessed, he missed eating once."
"In the end, Justice League all went out, and no one was left. It has happened to be nineteen hours since Luthor last had nothing to eat, and now another seventeen hours have passed. Luthor is now so hungry that he is twitching on the ground."
Shane people are all confused.
"Is he feeling better now?"
Kara felt a little strange when he heard this.
"Why would he feel better now?"
"You didn't find food for him—wait, he's still in jail?"
"What if?"
Otherwise?!
This special code came to an end, and finally starved to death for the savior.
Lex·Luthor As a rich man, he should not only have a regular diet, but also take care of his body, right?
Shane's hands were trembling, so he managed to calm down and took a deep breath.
"Even if neither of you has the authority to release him, Kara, your power is enough to demolish that cell, right?"
Then Shane heard Kara take a deep, depressed breath.
"Instructor, have you forgotten why I am like this?"
Oh.
Yes.
Everyone in the Superman family has a grudge against Luthor. Last time, they even created a Doomsday who almost killed Superman.
"And Instructor you didn't tell me at all that after I come to Watchtower I have to release the prisoners inside first!"
Isn't that nonsense?
Before coming to Gotham, Shane didn't know that this virus was the Amazo Virus created by New 52 Luthor.
Kara wants to go, even if he hates Luthor's bald head, but he has the same compassion as Superman, he will definitely let Luthor go first.
But now this Kara regards Monarch and Shane as spiritual pioneers and received special training from Shane, Kara who is spiritual Viltrumite.
Before she received the next instruction from Shane, it would be great if she could bear not to rush in and slap the dying Luthor to death.
After a long time of arguing, Kara reluctantly punched the door of the prison where Luthor was being held.
Luthor, who was lying on the floor, raised his eyelids weakly and glanced at Kara who walked in vaguely.
"Where is Justice League? Where is Batman?"
Luthor, who was still immersed in the idea that the Justice League collective turned to him for help because it could not solve Amazo Virus, was shattered when his stomach growled for the first time.
He knew very well that as long as Watchtower had only one person left on duty, he wouldn't be starving like this.
But out of some hunger hallucination, Luthor asked hopefully before asking for food.
"They are all infected and waiting for you to save them."
Kara picked up Luthor from the ground in disgust and threw it to Blue Beetle Jaime.
Luthor used up his last strength and raised his head stubbornly, his bloodless dry lips shaking out the afterimage.
"Damn----trash!"
