Bruce Awakens, Initial Plans

Bruce felt as if he had had a very long dream.

In the dream, powerful aliens had invaded Blue Star.

The aliens wanted to obtain the three Mother Boxes and destroy the world.

He had gone to great lengths to gather extraordinary people from all over, intending to fight to the death.

Yet he had despairingly discovered that the aliens had controlled Superman.

After a fierce battle, every one of them had suffered severe injuries.

Bruce could only activate the backup plan.

He ordered Barry Allen to flee with the last Mother Box.

He was to keep running all over the world so Superman would not be able to find him for the time being.

Bruce himself would return to forge a new Kryptonite Weapon to deal with Superman. Only then would they have a chance of winning.

However, this time, the controlled Superman did not seem willing to give him that chance.

A terrifying blast of Heat Vision struck him, and Bruce had been unable to dodge it.

The agonizing pain in his chest told him he had been hit. The massive blood loss soon caused him to lose consciousness.

The last thing he saw was Diana using her shield to block the Heat Vision and save him.

And so, filled with unwillingness and despair, Bruce sank into darkness.

This was the greatest disaster he had encountered since becoming Batman.

Their enemy was a powerful alien race, and the only being on Earth capable of opposing them had been controlled by the enemy.

Bruce did not know how to fight this battle. As Clark was controlled, the flame of victory gradually went out.

How could they deal with Superman? How could they deal with the aliens? How could they save Blue Star?

Those thorny questions seemed to be drifting farther and farther away from him.

From childhood to adulthood, he had suffered countless injuries, yet he had endured every one of them.

But this time, he did not know whether he would wake up again...

Bruce was undoubtedly fortunate. Blue Star still needed him to save it.

In the darkness, Bruce did not know how long had passed when he suddenly felt a cool sensation spread through his body. Then, a warm current surged into him continuously, gradually restoring his consciousness.

That warm current kept repairing his body, allowing Bruce to slowly regain sensation.

Under the effect of the warm current, Bruce gradually regained consciousness.

The conversation among the people in the hospital room reached his ears. From their exchanges, Bruce came to understand the current situation.

That stranger named Lin Feng had saved him with some miraculous liquid?

Lin Feng also seemed to be a Kryptonian. The instant he heard Diana questioning him, Bruce felt that Blue Star still had hope and could still be saved.

Lin Feng's appearance made Bruce feel how unpredictable fate was. The other side had a Kryptonian, and now they had one too.

When he heard that Lin Feng was willing to help them, Bruce felt new hope descend.

He wanted to speak, but he could not control his body. He could not even open his eyes.

He calmed himself and carefully sensed his body. His feeling had not fully returned, and his right chest carried an unusual pain and tingling sensation.

It should be healing, Bruce thought.

The pain in his right chest continued to lessen until it disappeared.

After a long while, once the pain had vanished completely, Bruce slowly opened his eyes. He was merely still somewhat weak.

Ah! A white ceiling.

Turning his head slightly, Bruce discovered Alfred sitting beside him.

"Alfred..."

His voice was too soft, and Alfred did not hear him.

"Alfred! Help me up!" Bruce raised his voice.

"Oh my, Master Bruce, you're awake!" Only then did Alfred realize Bruce was calling him. He excitedly helped Bruce sit up, his movements gentle as he continued thanking heaven.

Seeing that Bruce had awakened, everyone in the room immediately gathered around him.

Although Bruce's face was pale, the huge hole in his chest had completely vanished. Everyone let out a long breath of relief.

"Yes, I'm awake." Bruce leaned back as he sat up.

His gaze immediately fell on the only stranger in the room.

Black hair, black eyes, and the appearance of an East Asian man.

Lin Feng looked at him with a smile and said, "Hello, Bruce."

It was a familiar voice. Upon hearing it, Bruce confirmed that he was Lin Feng and immediately said, "You're Lin Feng, right?"

"Thank you for the medicine you brought."

"Oh? How did you know?" Lin Feng raised his brows, somewhat puzzled. How did Bruce know about him as soon as he woke up?

Diana and the others also looked over with puzzled expressions.

Bruce smiled politely. "I regained consciousness while you were treating me, but I was unable to wake up at the time."

Lin Feng nodded in understanding. "I see."

That explained it.

Alfred asked worriedly, "Master Bruce, how do you feel?"

"I think my injuries are no longer a problem. I'm just a little weak." Bruce nodded, indicating that he was fine.

He lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest. There was not even a trace of it left.

"A miraculous medicine..." Bruce sighed.

"Bruce! Now that you're awake, things will be much easier," Diana said. She also let out a long breath. With Bruce awake and another Kryptonian helping them, Blue Star's massive crisis was about to reach a turning point.

Superman was searching the entire world for Barry Allen, and they did not have much time.

If he obtained the last Mother Box, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Everyone understood that.

Bruce nodded at Diana, then turned to Alfred and instructed him.

"Alfred, bring me something to eat." Having awakened, Bruce felt hungry. He needed food to replenish his energy.

"Of course, Master Bruce." Alfred nodded and left to prepare food.

The food that had just been brought over had already gone cold. Alfred intended to have the chef prepare something nourishing, after all, Bruce had only just escaped death.

Thinking of this, Alfred gave Lin Feng a grateful look. It was Lin Feng who had pulled Master Bruce back from death's door.

After Alfred left, Bruce nodded to the others and said, "We do not have much time."

The others all nodded in agreement, knowing that Bruce had something to say.

"We must prepare as soon as possible. Victor, can you communicate with Barry?" Bruce asked Victor.

Victor answered confidently, "Yes. The tracker I gave you has a communication function. You made the right choice putting it on Barry."

Bruce nodded, then looked toward Aquaman. "Arthur, are you still capable of fighting?"

Bruce had also noticed that Aquaman's bandaged arm could not be lifted.

"Of course I am!" Aquaman stubbornly replied. He wanted to raise his arm and show Bruce that he was fine.

But after struggling for a long time, he still could not lift it, making the others shake their heads.

Seeing this, Lin Feng generously took out a small green bottle and tossed it to Aquaman. "Two drops. At most two drops, and your injury will heal."

"Don't use too much. It's expensive!"

Aquaman caught it with a solemn expression and nodded at Lin Feng. "Thanks!"

He had witnessed the green liquid's miraculous effects with his own eyes. They now shared a common enemy, so he did not intend to stand on ceremony with Lin Feng.

Without hesitation, he reached out and removed the bandages from his left arm.

A vicious wound glowing with an eerie black-red light appeared before everyone.

The wound was deep enough to expose bone, making everyone gasp.

Aquaman carefully opened the small green bottle. One drop, then two.

Remembering Lin Feng's words, he put the bottle away after using only two drops.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

The green liquid sizzled upon touching the wound. The black-red glow gradually faded as if being driven away, revealing the flesh beneath.

Once the black-red glow had completely disappeared, the wound slowly closed.

Under the effect of the remaining green liquid, it gradually healed.

Before long, the wound had completely vanished.

Though they had just witnessed it once, the miraculous scene still left everyone marveling.

Seeing the wound disappear, Aquaman swung his left arm in two circles, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.

"Healed!"

"Truly miraculous!"

Bruce also looked at Lin Feng and thanked him once again.

Aquaman was also indispensable fighting strength for the team.

Lin Feng's willingness to use such precious medicine to heal him had not gone unnoticed.

At that moment, everyone acknowledged Lin Feng as an ally.

Their confidence in defeating Steppenwolf and saving Blue Star greatly increased.
