American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 253 Attacked
"Thanks, man!"

Zatanna thanked him as she adjusted her direction and spun herself around to avoid another bolt of lightning.

Lex flipped over and caught up with Bruce, speaking on the comms.

"We are entering the city from the south, so I will drop bombs to the north and try to attract the zombies over there to reduce your trouble!"

“No problem, but even if you don’t do that, we can always kill them.

You'd never guess that Clark is even more capable than he lets on. I almost thought I was working with Don!"

As Floyd spoke, he fished out two grenades and threw them to the left and right.

Accompanied by the flames of the explosion, Selina held the gun in both hands, blew up the heads of two zombies in a cool manner, and then continued.

"Why does it feel like it's going so smoothly? Strange, is this the only type of zombie?
I thought it would be something like a tyrant like in the Resident Evil games."

"Don't be such a phoenix, sister-in-law!"

Victor shook the blood off the knife in annoyance.

And Clark couldn't help but follow the two people's words and remind them in the channel.

“The first goal is to rush to the spire to stop the chaotic lightning and find the person behind the disaster.

Hiss..., Lex, Bruce, and Zatanna, the sound of lightning over there is too harsh. Once I listen carefully, my nerves will feel tingling.

So, I may not be able to give you my full attention!"

"fine."

Bruce passed another building and finally saw the spire in front of him clearly. The tower was about 800 meters high, and there were at least hundreds of thousands of stiff zombies gathered around the tower.

But the strange thing was that apart from the zombies, he didn't see any possible mastermind behind this.

"strangeness."

He couldn't help but say it in the communication channel.

"I didn't see anyone except the zombies, so I prepared to land, hoping to expose the person behind the scenes."

"Zatanna will go down with you. Although her magic is good, her concentration is far inferior to yours. Even my intelligence system cannot match it."

"OK, this is a good opportunity for me to take a closer look at the structure of the spire and the operation of the spell."

Zatanna nodded and then rushed in Bruce's direction.

After a while.

Boom!
Bruce landed neatly on the ground, and the armor on his back suddenly opened several pieces. Hundreds of ultra-small missiles flew out like a net, directly sweeping the surroundings.

As countless pieces of rotten flesh and blood covered the bottom of the spire, Bruce turned on the indicator light on his shoulder to Zatanna from a distance.

Zatanna followed Bruce's instructions and fell to the ground with a disgusted look on her face.

"vomit!!!"

Irritated by the blood and stench, Zatanna vomited in an instant.

Hearing Zatanna vomiting, Floyd, who was walking along the street towards the designated vantage point, couldn't help laughing.

“Haha, the one who vomited is Miss Zatanna.

"Xiao Zha, you'll get used to it after spitting for a while, this is the price of being a hero, haha!"

While laughing, Floyd shot several times at the zombies that were jumping out of the building on the street.

For a moment, it was like zombies raining down around them!
At the same time, Selina raised her hand in frustration.

"What a shame I just had a manicure done today!"

After saying that, Selina swung her long legs quickly and kicked away the zombie that was about to land beside her.

Not far from her, Clark listened to the sound of Zatanna vomiting on the channel and endured it, endured it...

"vomit!!!"

He couldn't help it!

Selina immediately smiled brightly, then kicked Clark's calf.

"Remember to follow us after you finish vomiting."

“Ugh…I…Ugh…!”

“Hahaha, once this kid vomited, I felt much better.

Even though you look very strong, you still have a long way to go, kid!"

While chopping two zombies, Victor came behind Clark and patted him on the back.

Clark raised his head with difficulty and said with a wry smile, "The smell here is really... horrible!"

"This is just the beginning. Didn't Lex calculate through satellites that there are at least 1.5 million zombies in Washington?
Fortunately, they cannot infect people, but these zombies will still attack humans who are lucky enough to be still alive.

Let's make a bigger noise, attract the zombies' attention, and save a lot of people!"

While helping Clark adjust his condition, Victor spoke to Clark, who was a newbie on the battlefield.

Hearing Victor's words, Clark nodded with difficulty.

As they were moving forward, Lex also detonated several bombs in the north of the city and directly bombed a gas station.

boom! ! !
Looking at the small mushroom cloud suddenly rising in the north, Floyd shouted excitedly.

"Fuck it, it's exciting, even thermobaric bombs may not have this much momentum!"

“Don’t treat war as a game. Be careful next time because our actions must have attracted the attention of the army that is still fighting near the ruins of the White House in the west of the city.

Don't let them treat you as an enemy, guys!"

After giving a warning, Lex turned around and flew towards Bruce.

At this time, under the spire, Zatanna walked with difficulty among the flesh and blood that covered the ground and came to the bottom of the spell spire.

She raised her hands and magical light suddenly rose from her arms.

The next moment, the glow continued to penetrate the surroundings and then attached to the pillars at the bottom of the spire.

Beside her, Bruce looked around vigilantly.

“It’s really strange, we’ve already come here, but no one has stopped us?
Zatanna, this tower can't be controlled remotely, can the mastermind draw power from this tower from a long distance?"

"impossible!"

Facing Bruce's question, Zatanna answered with fervent affirmation.

“This tower can only transmit the power it draws to people nearby, which is roughly within three kilometers around the spire!

Other than that, the spire seems to have completed its task of transmitting energy, as the tower is now stable and defending itself!"

"You mean, they have absorbed enough energy?

Is it possible that the mastermind behind this has already left?"

Floyd quickly asked into the communication channel.

As soon as he asked the question, Lex and Bruce responded to him respectively.

Lex spoke first.

"Even if the spire has finished transmitting energy, the controller behind it is likely to be watching us nearby!"

"In fact, the fact that we were able to invade the spire so easily was most likely a plan by the person behind the scenes. That would make them move into the dark, and we would have to appear in the light!"

Bruce then said to Lex.

“If everything in front of us is really a trap, then I guess it will take us at least a long time to close this spire.

Zatanna, how long do you think it will take you to break the spell on the tower?"

"You're right, it does take me a long time!"

Zatanna's eyes widened in surprise.

"This is not an ordinary spell, but a spell that carries divine power!

Even if I do have the ability to crack it, it would take me at least as long to dismantle it as it took the builders of this tower to build it!
So, I estimate it will take me at least an hour, maybe more!
During this time, I'm afraid I can't do anything, I can only ask you to protect me!"

“We will do our best.”

Bruce calmly responded to Zatanna's concerns and continued speaking into the comms.

"The facts are exactly as I suspected. The stability of the spire may have given the controllers behind the scenes confidence.

In this way, we who have to remove the spire will have to stay in the open for a long time and passively endure the surprise attack they will surely launch next!
You all better be careful. To be able to build such a tower, the power of the person behind the scenes must be astonishing!
We... hell!!!"

Just as Bruce said this, a long sword wrapped in lightning suddenly smashed towards him from the air!

Bruce roared as he quickly dodged the sword.

"I have been attacked, and the enemy is a man with wings!"

“And a woman, damn, I got attacked too, they both had wings!

Those wings are golden, made of metal, can move freely like an eagle, and fly at an extremely fast speed!!!"
