Chapter 1392 Lost Contact
Mr. Excellence's words caught Batman's attention.

There are no more than five superheroes left on the entire Cybertron; the rest have all been sent out to fight off the Parademon army.

Besides him, Mr. Excellence, and the recently missing Black Thunderbolt, those who remained included Steelbone, who stayed to control the entire mobile fortress, and the second-generation Blue Beetle, who was responsible for assisting them.

The reason so few people hold back is because there are simply too many Parademons.

Don't be fooled by the superheroes' decent performance just now; it was only because they deployed almost all of their manpower, along with the aid of the Cybertronian fortress, that they barely managed to hold off the Parademons' offensive.

Watching the battle unfold, Batman repeatedly exclaimed that it was thanks to Yang Le's fusion device that the Justice League's strength had been greatly enhanced; otherwise, they might not have been able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the Parademon army.

"Can we get in touch with Blue Beetle?" Batman asked after a moment's thought.

"After confirming that I couldn't contact Black Thunderbolt, I immediately contacted Blue Beetle," Mr. Zhuoyue said with a solemn expression.

“Black Thunderbolt went missing in the rest area. After I notified Blue Beetle, he immediately said he wanted to go and check it out. But I told him not to rush and to wait until we met up before we went together.”

"I'm just here to tell you that you must contact us in ten minutes no matter what. If you can't contact us, or if we don't receive your contact, either party must immediately contact other people in the universe."

Clearly, Black Lightning suspected that someone had secretly infiltrated Cybertron; otherwise, Black Lightning wouldn't have lost contact without reason.

It's unclear who has such great ability to penetrate layers of defenses and enter their headquarters without anyone noticing.

But everyone present knew that this person was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Even Batman, a master of infiltration, believes that this is not an easy task, and he thinks that even he himself might not be able to succeed.

Batman nodded. In truth, they were also helpless, since they were really the only people they had available.

The front lines are not yet stable. The loss of any one person could lead to an early collapse of the front. At least until their plan succeeds will they have enough manpower.

Currently on Cybertron, Cyborg is actually the strongest fighter in direct combat, but he is completely focused on controlling Cybertron and has no way to help them deal with any enemies that might infiltrate.

Now they can only rely on themselves.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhuoyue stopped talking and summoned all the T-balls, stepping on these spherical robots to head towards the agreed-upon location with the Blue Beetle.

After Mr. Excellence left, the command center fell silent once again, and Batman opened his door again.

It's not the right time to let our allies, who are fighting on the front lines, know that there are enemies in our base, as this could very well cause a drop in morale.

However, Batman had already written a program that would be triggered if he didn't actively shut it down after fifteen minutes, sending a message to every member of his team that Cybertron had been attacked.

Batman, as always, prepared for the worst, and he also told Cyborg about what he had just discussed with Mr. Excellence, in case Cyborg, the core, was attacked without his knowledge.

"Batman, I've already met with Blue Beetle."

About two minutes later, Mr. Zhuoyue's voice came through the communicator, and Blue Beetle also reported to him from behind.

“Understood. Remember to be careful in everything you do,” Batman replied. “If you encounter an opponent you can’t handle, remember to activate the teleportation device and teleport back to the command center before making any further plans.” “Roger.” ×2.

Mr. Excellence and Blue Beetle responded together, and this time they did not hang up after replying, so that Batman could know their real-time status.

Even if an attack occurs early, you will be notified immediately. Combined with the previously set time limit guarantee, the two together provide double insurance, minimizing any possible accidents.

Batman can multitask, keeping an eye on the situation on the battlefield while also keeping track of Mr. Excellence and his team.

Perhaps for some unknown reason, apart from the occasional breathing sounds, there was no nonsense coming through the communicator. Clearly, neither Mr. Zhuoyue nor Blue Beetle were in the mood for jokes at this moment.

"Found it, these are traces left by Black Thunderbolt."

Two minutes later, Blue Beetle's voice came through the communicator again; they had discovered Black Thunderbolt's trail.

"There are burn marks, which clearly indicates that Black Lightning had a fight with something here before."

Now it's Mr. Zhuoyue speaking, and he's analyzing what happened before.

"The char marks are not large, which means Black Thunderbolt didn't use much power. I guess he suddenly encountered something and then hastily launched a counterattack, leaving these marks."

“We just came in from the first entrance of the rest area. Black Lightning also took this route when they patrolled, so this is very likely the primary crime scene.”

As soon as Mr. Zhuoyue finished speaking, Blue Beetle's voice rang out.

“No strange energy reactions can be detected here. I think we should go deeper. Fifteen minutes have passed since we were able to contact Black Thunderbolt. He is very likely still alive.”

"Then let's take a closer look."

Mr. Zhuoyue agreed to Blue Beetle's proposal, and then the communicator fell silent once again.

About three minutes later, Mr. Zhuoyue's voice rang out again.

"Another scorch mark, but this time it's much worse than the last one. Even the metal wall is showing signs of melting, and the area is quite large."

"This should be where Black Thunderbolt and that enemy clashed head-on. How could Black Thunderbolt have failed to hit him in such narrow terrain?"

Mr. Zhuoyue made this judgment because, apart from the damaged terrain, there were no other traces left at the scene, not even a trace of blood.

This unusual phenomenon sent a chill down Mr. Zhuo's spine, making him even more wary of this unknown enemy.

"Batman, I have a feeling we're about to encounter that thing. Remember what I just told you."

“I know,” Batman said in a deep voice. “Be careful.”

Despite Batman's repeated instructions, Mr. Zhuoyue simply responded this time, his mind highly focused, guarding against enemies who might rush out from any angle.
