They called it a surgical gown, but in reality, the woman was just wearing a bed sheet with a hole cut in the middle for her head, and the sides were simply tied together with rope. This was clearly to facilitate blood draws and experiments.

The woman had short black hair and looked no more than twenty years old. In theory, this should have been the most beautiful age, but in fact, judging from her emaciated state, the woman was nearing her limit.

Zhang Ye looked at her fingers, where the outline of bones was already visible, and sighed softly. He took two steps forward and picked her up around the waist. The sensation was incredibly hard, as if he were holding a skeleton.

"Zhang, are you sure this is the 'Superman' we're looking for?" Pietro was stunned for a moment, staring at the Supergirl for a long time. Her current state reminded him of bad memories.

"It's her, Kara Zor-El, Krypton's 'last' legacy," Zhang Ye said blandly.

As if hearing her name, Kara groggily opened her eyes. Seeing Zhang Ye's slightly terrifying bird-like mask, Kara struggled for a moment, then fainted again.

"Enough of this, it's not safe here. Let's go back and discuss the rest," Zhang Ye said, holding Kara. He turned and walked out of the cage. Batman, who was guarding outside, was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhang Ye carrying a frail woman.

"I thought the Superman Barry spoke of was male."

Hearing this, Zhang Ye curled his lips. "Indeed, in Barry Allen's memory, Superman is indeed male, but in this chaotic universe, anything is possible."

The three returned the way they came, seeing corpses everywhere along the way, and hearing the still lively sound of gunfire outside. It was estimated that the soldiers here wouldn't stop until only one of them was left alive.

But after experiencing another universe full of despair, Zhang Ye and Pietro no longer felt anything about this. Perhaps these people shouldn't have died, perhaps they should have, but who cared?

Batman didn't say much either. He had plenty of lives on his hands too, as could be seen from his secret room displaying countless villain equipment. This universe's Batman was also a ruthless character who made decisive kills.

They rode back in the Batplane. This operation could be considered a perfect success. Although it caused a bit of a stir, they were all successful, and there were no casualties. The old Batman didn't even have to take action.

By the time they returned to Wayne Manor, it was already dawn. The sun slowly rose from the east, and Gotham City welcomed a long-awaited sunny day.

Entering the Batcave, Zhang Ye and the others got off the Batplane. The two Barry Allens had been waiting anxiously for a long time. The moment he saw everyone return, the older Barry Allen immediately rushed up.

"I've found a way to restore my Speed Force. If we can simulate a natural lightning strike and then place those experimental potions around me, recreating the scene where I gained my superpowers, then maybe I can successfully regain my superpowers."

As he spoke, the older Barry Allen saw Kara Zor-El in Zhang Ye's arms, and he was immediately stunned.

"You... you succeeded? Weren't we supposed to rescue Superman? Who is this girl?"

"She is this world's 'Superman', Barry. Do you understand how much trouble you've caused this time?" Zhang Ye replied. Then he looked around and continued, "Since you're confident you can regain the Speed Force, then get to work as soon as possible. I believe the Batcave has everything you need. For Bruce Wayne, creating artificial rain shouldn't be too difficult. Pietro, you go help too. I'll take this Kryptonian to bask in the sun while I have the chance."

After speaking, Zhang Ye walked towards the exit of the Batcave. Surprisingly, everyone present had no objection to Zhang Ye's command. Besides the obedient Pietro, even the old Batman didn't refuse. Or rather, Batman had already determined the threat of this disaster.

At the same time, he also believed that these people were indeed here to save this world.

After Zhang Ye left, everyone immediately took action. Bruce Wayne went to find materials for artificial rain, and also wanted to create a Batman kite for attracting lightning, while Pietro and the younger Barry Allen ran out, heading to various laboratories to collect the chemical agents they needed.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. On the other side, Zhang Ye had also arrived at the rooftop of Wayne Castle with Kara. Here, Kara could better absorb the radiation from the yellow sun. At the same time, to help her, Zhang Ye took off his trench coat and let Kara lie on it.

The black trench coat could better absorb sunlight, allowing Kara to recover faster.

In fact, this was indeed the case. As the sunlight shone, Kara's body, which originally had clearly visible ribs, instantly reacted. Like a balloon being inflated, Kara's body slowly returned to its normal appearance, and the energy in her body also became abundant.

Zhang Ye took off his mask to the side and then took a few steps back, leaving a safe distance. It wasn't that he was worried about anything else, but he was afraid that the girl would subconsciously resist when she woke up. At that time, his small body couldn't withstand a punch from a Kryptonian strengthened by sunlight.

Kara's eyelids twitched slightly, then suddenly opened. Without anything to help her, Kara unexpectedly floated up, then slowly stood up.

"To be able to generate a bio-field in such a short time, the Kryptonian physique is truly terrifying." Seeing this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Even Kara, who had just escaped, was so fierce, which showed how amazing General Zod and his men were.

Sensing Zhang Ye's presence, Kara turned her head and looked in Zhang Ye's direction. "I remember you. You were the one who rescued me from that place..."

Kara's voice was very calm, but Zhang Ye could detect a hint of joy in her heart, as well as a flowing lava-like anger about to erupt. Indeed, anyone who had been locked up and studied for more than ten years would generate endless anger.

"Good that you remember, I was worried you'd give me a punch," Zhang Ye smiled slightly and lowered the umbrella he was holding tightly behind his back.

Kara quietly stared at Zhang Ye, as if recalling something. Then, she spoke. "If I remember correctly, you called my name. Who exactly are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Ye, from another universe."

Zhang Ye smiled and took a few steps forward, extending his hand, and continued.

"This world is about to be destroyed in Zod's hands. To save it, we need your power."
