I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

This first part of history was the only part that Cole remembered from that thick history book.

Upon hearing this, the man with the middle part patted Cole on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, my friend. I know that the fact that you remember this part of history means you really like this story. Let me think, that Earth hero's name is... Leonardo... Depp?!"

The man with the middle parting and Cole exchanged a glance, then immediately looked at the notes they had just taken.

The man being interrogated by the two of them seemed to be named "Leonardo Depp"!

"We seem to be interrogating a hero who helped rebuild the new Krypton."

Cole said, his eyes glazed over.

The man with the middle parting nodded and said, "It seems that it's not Mr. Depp who's going to be locked up in jail, but us."

"You'll be more tired later!"

Cole and the man with the middle part immediately stood up, quickly went to Depp's side, removed all the restraints from Depp's body, and then sincerely said, "I'm sorry, sir, we didn't know you were the Earth hero who helped build the new Krypton."

"Why didn't you say this from the beginning? Honestly, let me see if your wrists are injured from being restrained by the restraints?"

The man with the middle parting said solicitously.

Depp waved his hand and said, "This is nothing to brag about. Don't worry, I won't report you."

Upon hearing Depp's words, Cole and the man with the center-parted hair breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of the black giant tower, a uniquely shaped, all-black, sword-like floating vehicle was parked dozens of meters away.

Beside the hovercraft, after scanning, the drone said:

"Identity confirmed, all alerts lifted."

"Welcome, Mr. Zod, the great leader of Krypton. Welcome, Sword Z-type police hovercar."

"The police tower gate will open in three seconds. Please enter as soon as possible."

The moment the black tower's gates opened, a black sword flashed and disappeared, disappearing directly inside.

Before the hovercar even entered the parking lot, Zod opened the door, jumped out, and rushed straight to the interrogation room upstairs.

"Depp, you son of a bitch!" Zod muttered to himself as he ran. "Hopefully, those guys from Cole's gang won't piss Depp off, and hopefully nothing bloody will happen!"

Bang!

Zod kicked open the interrogation room door, and was immediately stunned by what he saw.

Depp was seen leaning back in Cole's original spot, his legs propped up on the middle-parted man's chair. Behind him, Cole was waving a fan like a palace maid.

Beside Depp, a man with a middle parting squatted on the ground, fawningly massaging Depp's legs.

This scene immediately put Zod's mind at ease, as he had been worried that Depp might go berserk during the interrogation.

But at the same time, the worry disappeared, but the feeling of disgust immediately arose.

"What are you doing?!" Zod roared. "Is this what a Kryptonian police inspector should be doing?"

Upon hearing Zod's words, Cole and the man with the middle part immediately shuddered and stopped what they were doing.

After all, Zod's authority and oppressive power were still quite terrifying to these ordinary Kryptonians.

Seeing this, Depp stood up and said, "Don't do that, they just want to make up for their mistakes."

"Hmph!" Zod snorted coldly, then said to Cole, "You two, get out."

However, what Zod didn't expect was...

Knowing that he had given the order, Cole and the man with the middle part did not carry it out immediately, but subconsciously glanced at Depp.

Only after Depp nodded did the two men leave the interrogation room, still feeling uneasy, and obediently close the door behind them.

Inside the interrogation room, Zod looked at Depp, his serious expression suddenly vanishing, replaced by a hearty smile.

He walked up to Depp, extended his hand, and said, "Long time no see!"

Depp stood up, shook Zod's outstretched hand, and said, "Long time no see!"

“What have you been doing for the past fifteen years?” Zod asked. “I tried to contact you, but all my messages went unanswered. I even thought you might be dead.”

"Because of some special reasons, I can't receive messages," Depp said evasively, then asked, "Didn't you try to go out and look for me?"

“Of course there is,” Zod said. “I even found Earth, but after observing it, I realized I might have made a mistake. Although it’s similar to Earth and has many people with special powers, it’s completely different from before. So I guess I might have made a mistake; it’s just a planet similar to Earth.”

Upon hearing this, Depp chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "You haven't made a mistake at all; it's just that this isn't the original world."

"You've suddenly come to Krypton this time, there must be something you need our help with, right?" Zod asked bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Depp dropped the formalities and said directly, "That's right, we need help."

"You? It seems Earth is facing a considerable crisis."

Depp nodded and said, "Actually, I come from fifteen years ago. And fifteen years from now, Earth is facing a catastrophe because of [me]."

Depp then explained in detail to Zod what was happening on Earth.

Zod's expression upon hearing this was quite interesting.

He said, half-laughing and half-crying, "So, you want us to help you kill yourself fifteen years from now? You want to kill yourself?"

"Yes, that's the gist of it."

Depp said this with a sigh of helplessness in his heart; this was the only way he could tell Zod what was half true and half false.

After all, he couldn't tell Zod that he was a time traveler, that his soul was actually Chinese, and that the evil Depp's soul was the real original.

“I don’t think this is a big problem. You just need to tell me how many people you need,” Zod said generously.

Depp glanced at Tan and thought to himself, "I think those Kryptonians born from the Codex will listen to me more."

"Of course, the more the better, but there's one thing: I need Kryptonians who can receive the yellow sun's energy and gain superhuman power."

Zod immediately replied, "No problem! Currently, about sixty percent of the inhabitants of this planet possess the ability to access the power of the Yellow Sun. Testing for this ability is now one of the essential check-up items for newborns on Krypton."

"I can give you two hundred of the strongest Kryptonian warriors first. If that's not enough, just let me know and I'll send more reinforcements."

Zod said, "However, before that, I need to get their consent, after all, this could be a one-way battle."

“Absolutely no problem. In this matter, we should respect the personal wishes of those soldiers,” Depp said understandingly.

In any case, as long as I give the order, they will immediately carry it out without any thought of resistance...

Without much formality, Zod immediately began searching for the most powerful Kryptonian warriors for Depp.

Soon, more than 500 soldiers were gathered at the First Military Training Ground in Krypton's First District.

Looking at the five hundred soldiers below the stage, at those soldiers who were no more than fifteen years old and whose faces were still quite young, Depp suddenly felt a pang of pity.

"At that time, we need to assign them to places where they won't encounter crises, such as places where they deal with ordinary human villains or ordinary human troops."

"Reporting to the general, all five hundred soldiers have assembled!"

From below the stage, one of Zod's old subordinates spoke with great confidence.

Seeing Zod nod, the man immediately stepped back.

They didn't know why they were gathering, but they would carry out Zod's orders without hesitation.

Zod stood in front of the microphone and said, "Good morning, my warriors."

Good morning, General!

The youthful voices of the five hundred Kryptonian warriors below the stage were like a tidal wave, giving everyone a jolt of energy.

"I have called you here today to announce something."

"If you are familiar with history, you will surely remember an Earth hero who helped us build the new Krypton."

"Just now, that hero arrived on New Krypton, seeking our help."

"His planet is facing an unprecedented crisis and needs our warriors to go there and help."

"And this will be a real war! A war that will be incredibly difficult, and there may even be no one who goes back!"

"If anyone wants to go, raise your hand."

"Of course, the decision-making power this time rests with you. After all, we are here to help, not to protect our own planet. Your personal wishes are my only selection criterion."

Seeing the murmurs below the stage, Zod stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Depp.

Zod estimated that if 200 out of the 500 people were willing to go, that would be considered good.

After all, they have friends and family here, so there's really no need for them to go to a foreign planet and participate in a battle where they don't know whether they'll live or die.

However, while the crowd was discussing it, someone said something.

"I remember that class, the Earth hero who helped establish New Krypton, his name is... Leonardo Depp!"

"Leonardo Depp..."

"Leon André Depp..."

"Leon André Depp..."

The word spread quickly among the five hundred people.

Then, the deep-seated imprints in their genes began to take effect!

"Mr. Depp needs help..."

"Earth's hero, Leonardo Depp, needs our help..."

"Then what are we hesitating for? We were born to live for Mr. Depp!"

Five hundred people simultaneously raised their heads, their expressions resolute, and in an even louder voice than before, they declared in unison: "We are willing to go to Earth!"

Zod stood there dumbfounded.

Chapter 383 Fight!

Zod was stunned by the sight of the soldiers, who were more excited than if they were defending their own planet.

He thought that few Kryptonians, whose genes carry the attribute of not being able to betray Krypton, would voluntarily participate in such a voluntary task.

After all, this mission requires leaving Krypton and traveling to Earth, light-years away!

Zod originally estimated that it would be good if 150 people volunteered to participate in this wave.

But now, five hundred people have come, and five hundred people have participated. This is far beyond what we expected!
