Chapter 554 No Surprises (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)

"Stop, who are you? Show me your ID."

The armed men of Gorilla City were wearing medieval-style armor with some kind of defensive force field attached, and they were holding rifle-like weapons in their hands.

These apes that evolved due to meteorite radiation walk like humans and are basically about three meters tall. They walk with great vigor and power. To humans, they are like a walking black wall that presses down directly on them, causing a very oppressive feeling.

But Goodman is also an evolved gorilla, and after training by the Justice League, he is even a little bit taller than the gorillas in Gorilla City.

It's just that the glasses and white coat on Goodman's face, plus his personal character, make his height less noticeable.

"This is my proof."

Facing the patrol team blocking the road, Goodman simply took out his Justice League work ID and waved it in front of these apes.

"Oh! So you are that person!"

Xingxing from the patrol team looked as if they had suddenly realized something. In fact, they had not even seen what the work permit in Goodman's hand looked like, but they subconsciously felt that Xingxing in front of them must be reliable and there was no problem at all.

"The city has been unstable lately, and the situation is a bit tense. Sober services like yours won't be a big deal. It's best not to run around on the border."

Not only did the patrolling gorilla ignore Goodman's identity issues, but they also chatted with him enthusiastically and issued warnings.

"Alas, I have been doing research in the laboratory and don't know much about the situation outside. Hasn't this city always been peaceful? What big thing could happen? Even the border is not allowed to come."

There is a kind of magic in Goodman's steady voice.

This is a manifestation of spiritual power. It can hypnotize the intelligent beings around us, allowing them to let down their guard and say what they are thinking.

Based on the professional requirements of the Border Patrol, after hearing what Goodman said, they could immediately analyze that it did not belong to Star City.

However, these stars were hypnotized by the power of the mind and completely ignored the loopholes in Goodman's words and answered his questions.

"Who knows what the people above are thinking? I heard that King Sorowa is ill, but there is no problem with the operation of the city. A group of superhumans broke into the ape city, and General Grodd is leading his men to hunt down those humans."

The stars in the patrol team talked about these two things in a very calm manner, as if they were not a big deal and they didn't take them to heart at all.

Martin, who was in invisible state, listened to what the apes said with a frown. He didn't know whether the reaction of these stars was due to the influence of Goodman's mental power, or because these apes really didn't care about the king's illness and foreign invasion.

"So that's it."

Goodman pretended to be enlightened, nodded and said, "It seems that I am still suitable for doing scientific research in the laboratory. I'd better avoid this kind of thing hanging around outside in the future."

"Thank you for the reminder. You can continue working. I won't disturb you."

Goodman waved to the patrol and walked past them towards the city.

"Lao Gu, what do you think of the reactions of these stars? Do they really not care about what happens in the city?"

Martin follows Goodman, asking for his opinion, but not worried about the Justice League members who are being hunted.

Those members who carry out the task only worry about how to complete the task.

If they want to retreat, they can do so at any time.

If all else fails, Martin can directly use the mother box to open the sonic boom channel and transfer them out.

"The reaction of these people can only be described as half and half. And Xingxing was indeed affected by the power of the mind and became peaceful. But they themselves are confident in Xingxing City and believe that outsiders will not disturb their lives."

Goodman faced the stars, penetrated their hearts, and gained a general understanding of their thoughts.

"For ordinary apes, this city is big enough. But for some stars, they want more than that."

Martin sighed and roughly guessed what happened in the city.

Even a paradise on earth cannot be without things like "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers". The Orangutan City is still far from being a paradise on earth, and these stars do not want to live a life without knowing about the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Therefore, there is bound to be struggles for power and profit in this city. There are people who want to live a stable life, and naturally there are also people who want to expand their rights.

When the two sides are fighting, a lot of messy things will naturally happen.

"Let's go. Today we will play the role of miracle doctors and see what kind of incurable disease this king who has not been seen for a long time has!"

Martin snapped his fingers, determining their next target.

And it is not difficult to find the king.

The places where people like kings live and work are always the most special places, and these buildings are given extraordinary significance.

Or it is set up at a high place to demonstrate one's authority.

Or the lowest point ensures that that special area will not be disturbed by other buildings.

The stars built their own city in the basin, created artificial rainforests from the border in a trend from low to high, and created a mountain in the center of the city.

On the mountain that can be seen at a glance, there is lush green everywhere, and there are many magnificent buildings standing in it. They look like the obelisks in front of the pyramids. When illuminated by the sun, they emit a sacred golden color.

"Let's go!"

Martin waved the Mother Box in his hand again, opening a sonic boom channel leading directly to the center of Star City.

As soon as the two men, the snake, and the star walked out, Barry jumped up impatiently: "I will be your vanguard and eliminate the hidden dangers in this palace first."

"No hurry, stop!"

Martin grabbed Barry's shoulders and held him down before the lightning could flow through his body.

"I don't doubt your speed at all. But you're just unlucky. When facing those special people or places, your speed always has problems of one kind or another."

Paris wanted to refute, but he quickly thought of what happened when he was fighting against the Rogues in Central City.

Especially when he met Captain Cold, he would almost always be hit by the gun in Captain Cold's hand that could emit an absolute zero degree cold current, and was forced to break away from the extreme speed.

He was clearly prepared every time, but he still fell into the trap, just like seeing a ghost.

"You have a point. I'd better stay with you and obey your orders!"

Barry finally admitted that he had no talent for fighting and decided to obey the arrangements of Martin, his external brain.

"That's right. With Goodman's spiritual power, there's no need for both of us to take action for the time being."

Martin patted Paris on the shoulder and advised him not to be too discouraged.

In fact, it’s not his fault that Paris always suffers at the hands of the rogue gang.

After all, speed force is an active skill!

As long as Paris doesn't actively enter the high-speed state, he is almost the same as an ordinary person.

Although Paris doesn't even need 1 second to reach the extreme speed, it can be said that almost no human can capture this short time. But the people in the Rogues are not as cruel as the Gotham gang, but their ability to make things happen is no worse than that of the Joker. They are all talented, and it is not a hopeless thing for them to seize the window of Barry's action.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Paris is still a normal person. He can't stand the state of being disconnected from the whole world after entering extreme speed.

So he usually controls his speed.

If it were someone like Reverse Flash, they wouldn't have superpowers and would just be thinking about how to control the world all day long.

With super powers, this group of people are no longer human.

"If the king of Nova City was really deprived of power as you guessed, the palace must be full of guards, and there may even be devices to suppress psychic power."

Green Snake doesn't care about speed force. It sounds like a very special power, and even ordinary superhumans can't get close to it.

She was more concerned about the operation and asked Martin what she should do next.

Although she used force fields to manipulate light to make them invisible, the stars also had force field weapons. If the two sides clashed, this invisibility state would definitely not be able to be maintained.

Thinking of this, Qing Snake said directly to Ma Ting: "Why don't you just use the sonic boom channel to send us into the king's room."

"If I could do it, of course, but I don't know where the king's room is."

Martin shrugged helplessly, and opened the registration channel. Although its stability and accuracy are much stronger than ordinary transmission.

But this thing is not a wishing machine. Martin doesn't know where to go. Where is the sonic boom channel opened by the mother box? Of course, it is uncertain.

"Then you're not going to rush straight in, are you?"

"It's not impossible."

Green Snake couldn't understand what Martin was thinking.

He was the one who clearly said he would keep a low profile! How come he is the one who is making a sudden move now?

"Just adapt to circumstances! There was no specific plan for this operation."

Martin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Besides, I just said we can just rush in. It doesn't mean I'm going to do it."

"This operation is not strictly a military operation. If we make things too big, even if we rescue the king, the result will not be good."

After all, Martin and his friends are outsiders. If they make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace like Sun Wukong did, they will set fire to the whole Ape City.

Even the extremely expansionist King Sovalo had to respond to this behavior.

"Let Lao Gu take the lead and first find out where the king is, and then try to get as close as possible."

"The residents of Orangutan City only know that the king is ill, proving that the stars who want to seize power are acting in secret, and they will not make it public even when faced with an attack."

After listening to Martin's arrangement, Qingshe nodded and said, "As expected of you, you actually know those people's thoughts so clearly."

"That doesn't sound like a good thing to say."

Martin shook his head, suspecting that the green snake was secretly mocking him.

"One knows the coldness or warmth of the water only after drinking it. Whatever you think this sentence means is what it means."

"let's go!"

The green snake waved its tail coldly and ordered Goodman to enter the palace.

This palace, standing in the center of the Gorilla City, is only of average height if viewed from the border.

Only when Martin and his companions actually stood under this tower-like palace did they feel its grandeur.

This thing is at least two or three hundred meters high. In addition to the palace walls that are like obelisks, there are many green plants dotted on the outside. These plants are not artificial chemicals, but real plants that seem to grow out of the walls.

"These plants are also a line of defense against enemies."

Martin looked at the plants around him and noticed that they all had a special vitality.

"These stars were born in the rainforest, so it's normal for them to transform the rainforest into their own weapons."

Green Snake looked at them carefully for a while, but did not have the idea of studying these plants like Martin and Goodman.

She is not a scientific research talent, but a manager.

"He who comes is stopped!"

The guard inside the central palace reached out to stop Goodman who wanted to enter the palace, with a serious look on his face.

The clothing style of these gorillas is completely different from that of the border patrol. The armor they wear is not only lighter, but also decorated with intricate patterns with gold thread. The weapons in their hands are also scepters-like, which are more ceremonial than functional.

Goodman used the same trick again, using the power of his mind to hypnotize the guard at the door.

This time, he did not ask indirectly, but directly asked: "Where is King Sovalo? We are going to see him now."

"The king is in the palace."

Under the influence of mental power, the guard at the door directly told the location of Sovaro's room.

But the stars guarding the first floor did not know what kind of defenses were around the king's room.

Not all stars are created equal.

These stars guarding the palace can be considered as royal guards, but they are not qualified to know the situation around the king's room.

"If anyone asks, just tell them everything is fine here."

Goodman gave the star at the door a psychological hint, then walked directly into the palace and into the elevator.

Although they did not understand the underlying logic of the technology in Gorilla City, Martin had the Mother Box in his hand and directly controlled the elevator. The group went straight to Sovaro's room.

Goodman closed his eyes and used his mental power to pay attention to the situation around him at all times.

When the number on the elevator exceeded fifty, Goodman opened his eyes and said, "The guards have discovered us, but only the people above the fiftyth floor are moving. The people on the lower floors are not making any movement."

"Martin, everything is as you expected. Those stars who plotted to seize power did not want others to know what they were doing, so they did not inform the guards at the bottom."

"It's not surprising. These apes are actually no different from humans."

Martin was actually a little disappointed, as he was expecting these stars to bring him some surprises.

But now it seems that there are no surprises here.

"Barry, when the elevator door opens, you should rush out immediately. Just deal with the enemy in front of you. Don't be impulsive."
