Chapter 1159 Damian's Great Adventure (1)

After discussing it, the group finally found a direction they could work towards.

Without delay, Donatello immediately found Cindy and asked her to lead the group to find the bombs used by the underground people so that they could conduct experiments.

This is because everyone present was actually unaware of the technology of the subterranean people; they didn't know if the subterranean people's bombs contained any materials that were not found in ordinary bombs.

For example, Qu Ruier's bombs contain viruses that target both biological and mechanical organisms. Who knows if the underground people's bombs also contain materials that stimulate crystals, which is why the Crystal Moon experienced the energy burst they predicted.

However, they soon received devastating news.

“I’m sorry.” Cindy’s face was full of shame. “We’ve already used up all our bombs.”

“We didn’t want this either,” another burly man explained. “As you know, a long time ago, only that madman was left in the underground city, which resulted in very limited resources within the underground city.”

"There were only five or six explosives left. We didn't know the power of the bombs, and we couldn't conduct experiments due to resource shortages. In order to avoid the mistake of not being able to blow them up, we had no choice but to use them all."

In the end, it seems that if Cindy and her team hadn't used all their bombs, they probably wouldn't have been able to blow up the Crystal Moon.

There's nothing we can do about blaming Cindy and the others now that things have already happened. The burly man said the underground people were crazy, but aren't they also pitiful people driven mad by their own circumstances?
“Let’s try using regular bombs first,” Modo suggested. “Besides, this underground city is so big, Cindy and the others might have missed one or two bombs. Let’s send some people out to look for them.”

Since things have come to this, we can only leave it at that for now. Those who can't help with scientific research, such as Leonardo and others, are responsible for collecting things that might be useful from the underground city.

For example, small pieces of underground crystal and some underground technology. Donatello had everyone watch as they collected them, and he felt that he could take this opportunity to upgrade the Turtles' technology.

The overwhelming technological superiority of the aliens and otherworldly beings ignited a fierce competitive spirit within him, and he was determined to ensure his brothers had other means of fighting the enemy besides melee weapons.

The researchers who remained were three Artemians, including Modu, Dr. Fukitod, and Donatello.

The remaining Atems and guards followed the turtles to the underground city to collect resources and build infrastructure, since they would be living there for a long time to come.

Putting everything else aside, the Atem people need to build at least one passage to the surface. After all, unlike the isolated subterranean people, the Atem people still need to have some contact with humans.

As for Yang Le, he didn't join the research group this time. With the three Atmu people, the scientists who were famous in the two universe federations, and Donatello, whose talent was basically all in intelligence, Yang Le felt that there should be no problem that they couldn't solve.

Adding him wouldn't speed up the process much; he might as well go find something fun in the underground city.

Yang Le had originally planned to take Cassandra and Damian to explore the underground world together, but the former was called away by Splinter.

The big rat had already agreed to Yang Le's request and accepted the apprenticeship gift, so there was no reason for it to slack off. As soon as it settled in, it immediately fulfilled its promise. "I don't have much to teach Cassandra in terms of martial arts. All I can teach her now is some rat life experience."

This is what Splinter told Yang Le when he took Cassandra away. The big rat had a sharp eye and saw through Cassandra's inner shortcomings at a glance.

When Yang Le first met Cassandra, the girl had a huge void in her heart. She hardly understood many human emotions. It was thanks to Yang Le that she was instilled with some correct values, otherwise she might have really developed into a human weapon.

After all, Yang Le isn't in the so-called DC main universe; Cassandra in that universe might be completely evil.

Later, through the efforts of Yang Le, Diana, and the Young Justice League, Cassandra gradually became more like a normal person, but she still had some unstable aspects.

As for Damian, he didn't think much of Splinter. The kid was still in a state of blind faith in the League of Assassins' methods, and he didn't think he should abandon his fortune to deal with garbage.

He wasn't very interested in the underground city, since he didn't understand these things, so he told Yang Le that he was going to go shopping on the surface.

He wanted to see what was special about New York in this world without cities like Gotham and Metropolis. As for why he told Yang Le, it was because Damian was afraid that the time-space teleportation machine would be completed while he was away.

If he walks away without saying a word, Yang Le will abandon him and prevent him from going home.

Yang Le didn't stop Damian either; the latter was quite capable, and in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe, there was no need to worry about his safety.

Finally, Damian boarded the return carriage with the guards who were carrying the equipment. Halfway there, he asked the guards to put him down and went out alone through another drain.

Damian actually had something he didn't tell Yang Le. He wasn't the kind of person who would go shopping for no reason. He would rather find a place to train and think of a way to defeat his mother, Talia.

He ran to the ground because he had a clear goal—the Bigfoot Gang.

After the battle at the Artem base, Damian set his sights on the well-trained Bigfoot ninjas. In his view, although these ninjas were not as skilled as the assassins of the League of Assassins, their execution was far superior.

Before their leader, Shredder, fell, the ninjas showed no signs of defeat, even as their comrades fell one by one before them.

Their morale seemed to be frozen in time; their loyalty and execution of orders were top-notch, making them the best candidates for subordinates.

Damian felt that at his current age, it was almost impossible for him to defeat his mother, Talia. He would need at least two more years for his body to grow.

So he had a crooked idea: he planned to recruit the Bigfoot ninjas and make them his subordinates, thereby indirectly achieving his own goals.

I suppose that as long as I prove that I can lead a force, then neither my mother nor my maternal grandfather can find any fault with me anymore.
