I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Wally said somewhat nervously.

Even with Bruce's assurances, Wally was still somewhat worried that Depp would ultimately not trust him.

Depp took the phone and pressed play on the video.

In a brief moment of the video, Bruce is seen sitting upright at a table, wearing a dark blue suit worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

However, compared to the current Bruce, the man in the video has some barely noticeable freckles around his forehead, and his skin appears slightly looser.

Bruce said:

“Depp, I’m Bruce Wayne. I hope you can recognize me.”

Through the mirror of the profile, Depp confirmed that the man in the video was indeed Bruce Wayne.

“When you see this video, it means our world is facing a huge crisis.” Bruce paused briefly, then continued, “And... this crisis is one I cannot stop.”

"Of course, Wally should have already explained most of the details before showing you this video."

"So, I hope you can help us and Wally come to the world fifteen years in the future."

"Don't keep us waiting too long. This world can't bear any more war or any more of Depp's wrath."

After the video finished playing, Depp handed the phone back to Wally and said, "You're right, Wally, that really is Bruce. I think I can go back with you for the sake of this world."

No, it's for Selena and Mera!

Wally took the phone, and upon hearing Depp's words, he let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "Phew~ Thank you, Uncle Depp, it seems our world is saved!"

Seeing this, Depp lightly flicked the kid and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Maybe I'm no match for that guy at all."

Chapter 371 Little Zod as a Servant

“How is that possible?!” Wallyon exclaimed, “Uncle Depp, you are the faith and beacon of Arkham Asylum! The founder of the Depp Corporation! The leader of the Justice League! The head of the Court of Owls! The father of Krypton! The source of the Speed ​​Force!”

Depp was completely exasperated by Wally's antics, but it has to be said, these titles are all incredibly cool!

However, Depp was not as optimistic as Wally. He said, "Don't forget, whether it's me or not, the Depp of fifteen years from now should have the same power as me."

"Forehead...."

Upon hearing this, Wally lowered his head, his expression immediately turning dejected.

However, the precocious Wally quickly composed himself and said to Depp, "Uncle Depp, the Cosmic Treadmill seems to have malfunctioned when it arrived here, so I may need to fix it before we can leave."

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately replied, "No problem. I happen to have some things to take care of right now. So, contact me anytime after you've fixed the cosmic treadmill."

With that, Depp gave Wally his contact information.

Wally saved Depp's phone number in his phone, then asked curiously, "By the way, Uncle Depp, aren't you even a little curious about what the cosmic treadmill is? Although you and Uncle Barry invented it in the future, according to the current timeline, you shouldn't have invented the cosmic treadmill yet, or even know Uncle Barry."

The Barry that Wally mentioned is none other than the Flash, Barry Allen, whom everyone knows.

Barry Allen is the second Flash, and the most well-known Flash. At the same time, according to the original storyline, Barry Allen is also the creator of the Speed ​​Force.

Other speed runners consume Speed ​​Force with every step they take, but Barry Allen is different; he generates Speed ​​Force with every step he takes.

However, in the current universe, it seems that Depp has replaced Barry Allen as the original creator of the Speed ​​Force.

Upon hearing this, Depp smiled and said, "Just like Bruce said, maybe I have the ability to foresee the future, so I know you are Wally West, and I also know about the Cosmic Treadmill."

“Okay, as everyone knows, Uncle Depp is the most amazing, powerful, and incredible person on Earth.” Wally stood up, put his goggles back on, and said, “Well then, see you in a few days, Uncle Depp.”

"See you in a few days, goodbye, Wally."

Depp waved and said, but all that remained before his eyes were afterimages and blue lightning.

"This child is really impatient."

After making his rant, Depp sat down in a chair and began to think about what would happen next.

It seems that I really need to go and see the world fifteen years from now.

Of course, I had other things to take care of before I went.

For example, finding Zod to discuss rebuilding Earth's cities and the reconstruction of New Krypton.

Depp wasn't too worried about that. Zod and his crew were already on the verge of madness after the basic failure of rebuilding Krypton.

At this point, as long as I tell them that Krypton still has hope of being rebuilt, they will definitely listen to me obediently and work like slaves for humanity.

Just as Depp was considering his next move, Selena and Mera walked over.

Selena's round, pert buttocks rested against the corner of the table in front of Depp, forming a graceful curve, as she said, "Looks like you've run into some big trouble again. It's about fifteen years from now."

Mera stood behind Depp, leaning forward and resting her head on his shoulder, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin.

She said, "Perhaps, Selena and I can go with you. That way, we'll have more fighting power and more protection."

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately refused, saying, "No! It's hard to say what the situation is like there, and I don't want you to take that risk with me!"

What a joke!

Depp thought to himself that he was willing to go to the world fifteen years in the future with Wally in order to protect Selena and Mera.

So how could he possibly let Selena and Mera go with him to such a dangerous future?

"You stingy guy!" Selena suddenly sat in Depp's lap, hugging his neck and saying, "I know you're thinking of comforting us, but without you, Mera and I would be devastated."

“Selena is right!” Mera agreed.

But Depp still shook his head: "There's no room for discussion. Just stay here and wait for me to come back."

With that, Depp stood up, holding Selena, and said, "I think I should go talk to Zod, about Earth, about Krypton."

Arkham Asylum, on the second basement level of the Kryptonite prison.

Zod sat in a corner of the prison, his hair disheveled and matted together, his upper body bare, and his expression forlorn.

The dirt and blood on his face hadn't been wiped off; he still looked like he'd just been beaten up by Depp.

The plan to rebuild Krypton has failed, and Zod's eyes have lost their former luster.

Zod is now like a walking corpse. His heart has been completely devoured by the pain brought about by the collapse of his faith. He doesn't even bother to look at Usa and Lor.

Beside him, Usa and Fiora, along with the many Kryptonian warriors, wore the same expression.

Having the same genetic imprint, they all looked dejected after learning that Krypton could not be rebuilt.

The kryptonite-built prison emitted a faint green light, which shone on Zod and the others, adding to their desolate atmosphere.

Outside the prison, Joseph, who had already woken up, leaned back in a recliner, holding Harley in his left arm and Jenny in his right.

Harry picked up a lychee, peeled it, and fed it to Joseph. After Joseph finished eating, Jenny put a drink cup with a straw to Joseph's mouth.

Separated by only a wall, it was like heaven and hell. Even Depp, who had just arrived, couldn't help but be speechless.

"What kind of royal treatment is this?" Depp complained. "Can't you guys even consider how those guys inside the walls feel?"

Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately retorted, "Their feelings? To be honest, Mr. Depp, look at how distraught they are. I think they've lost the capacity to feel anything."

Upon hearing this, Depp walked to the outskirts of the prison.

Indeed, as Joseph said, Zod and his companions had lost the ability to feel.

Even when Depp was standing opposite him, Zod only raised his eyelids to glance at him before continuing to stare blankly at the ground.

It's as if...Depp is just air.

This scene left Depp somewhat amused and exasperated, but it was no big deal. Depp's purpose in coming here was simply to give Zod and his team some hope.

“Hey, Zod,” Depp yelled into the room, “Don’t fucking sit there like a coward!”

Upon hearing this, Zod raised his eyelids to glance at Depp, then got up, changed direction, and sat down again with his back to Depp.

"You really are a stubborn mule! After our discussion, we have decided that you and your fellow Kryptonians will have to make amends for what you have done."

"You must contribute to rebuilding the cities you have destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Zod finally raised his head, his expression a mixture of contempt and sneer as he said, "Heh, are you kidding me?"

Depp said, "I'm not kidding, and I have ways to get you to willingly help us rebuild the city."

Zod turned around, strode up to Depp, and slammed his fist into the transparent wall of the Kryptonite prison, saying, "Don't fucking joke around! My men and I, even if we die, will never help Earth rebuild a single brick! And... we're actually waiting for death to come. Living like this is far more agonizing than death itself. So stop daydreaming, you Earth scum!"

"Really?" Depp asked.

Zod's eyes were filled with anger and resentment as he said, "You think I'm joking with you?"

"Alright, alright," Depp said, feigning helplessness. "I was thinking that if you behaved, I'd help you rebuild Krypton. But now it seems... that's probably unnecessary."

"Ha! Even rebuilding Krypton is out of the question..." Zod's expression changed instantly, and he retorted, "What did you say? You can rebuild Krypton?!"

Depp shrugged and said, "Yeah, but it seems you're not interested. In that case, I won't presume to be interested."

As he spoke, Depp opened his palm, and the blue of the stars and the gold of the quicksand intertwined and echoed in his hand, making Zod stare in disbelief.

Zod already knew what the Kryptonian Codex looked like from his previous conversation with the bald man.

What Depp is holding right now is undoubtedly the Kryptonian Codex.

"You...you killed Karel?" Zod asked, and at that moment, the flame of hope that had long been extinguished in his eyes seemed to begin to flicker again.

Depp retracted the Kryptonian Codex and said, "Of course not, but who told you that there can only be one Kryptonian Codex?"

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."

Zod murmured, then asked again, "What are we going to do?"

“What?” Depp asked.

Upon hearing this, Zod reiterated, "Didn't you just say you wanted us to help you rebuild the Earth? What are we supposed to do?"

Depp smiled and said, "I think my agent will come to discuss the details of the cooperation with you in a little while."

Depp glanced at his watch and said, "He'll be here in about ten minutes."

“Okay, Mr. Depp!” This time…

Zod spoke in honorifics with extreme awkwardness.

“Then goodbye, Mr. Zod,” Depp said, turning and leaving the Kryptonite prison.

Joseph, Halle, and the others got up early and stood not far behind Depp.

After Depp and Zod finished their talks, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is it over? That guy really agreed to help us?"
