Chapter 440 The Old Man and the Wasteland Flashpoint

With the complaints in his heart that he had nowhere to release, Ke Wen and his party sat in the Saitron chariot, through the car window, and the picture of AI Batman in the car, they understood the steampunk style. Gotham.Through AI Batman's intelligence collection, Ke Wen and the others only learned that a nuclear explosion that originated two years ago covered the entire earth, and after taking away most of the lives, it was a nuclear winter that never saw the light of day.

But how did this nuclear explosion happen, what happened at that time, there is no information at all, that nuclear explosion destroyed too much data, and now the detailed information is still preserved, it is these human cities that were rebuilt after the nuclear explosion Well, the steampunk Gotham in front of me is one of them, not to mention there is a bat logo on it.

The Satron is slowly driving in this steampunk-style Gotham. These people who survived the nuclear explosion are in their houses, pointing fingers at the technologically styled Satron through the window. point.They are people who survived the explosion. Although the explosion took away most of their lives, they still have a lot of supplies. In the past, there were more monks than monks, but now they are the other way around, and they live in a fairly normal city. For the time being, there is no hope for the future.

Little Jonathan and Helena, who had recovered, were also lying on the car window, looking at the steampunk city through the car window, with curiosity on their faces. This was the first time they had seen Gotham like this, and cooperated With the gray sky now, everything has become so weird.

"This kind of experience is really strange. I obviously stayed in Gotham before, but now I come again, and I don't know each other." Looking at the silent atmosphere in the car, Ke Wen was the first to speak, breaking the embarrassment.

"One is a bustling city, the other is a doomsday city, of course they are different, but we entered Gotham with such a great fanfare, where is Batman at this point in time?" Damian responded dully, looking at Gray The bat mark made by the bat searchlight in the misty sky also began to think about what the Batman in this world would look like. After all, he had just seen the Batman in the Injustice Universe, and he also wanted to know what he would be like in this world .

But soon, he knew, just when the Saitron turned into an alley, the AI ​​Batman also started to remind in the car: "Attention, someone is coming."

"Yeah, we saw it too." Responding to the AI ​​Batman, he saw a black shadow approaching quickly in the distance, and a black extended sports car galloped over like this.It is said that it is a sports car because of its shape, but the shell is loaded with too many rough things, thickened steel plates, and a sharp spray hook gun in front of the front of the car. Looking at the size of this guy, Ke Wen has no doubt that this thing has more horsepower. If enough, a dozen people can be strung together into candied gourds.

Not to mention those fenders and rams mounted on the outer skin of the sports car, with spikes all over them, driving this car is like driving a rolling machine.The Batmobile with a rough style stopped in front of the Satron, and Ke Wen and the others walked out of the car consciously. Batman has no choice at the beginning, so let's see what we can do in this world. what.

The headlights came on, and the person driving this rough Batmobile stepped out of the car. He had a tall and straight figure, a stronger body, two sharp horns extending from his shoulders, red eyes, and a swollen chest. The bat mark has a touch of blood red. This shape, combined with the backlight, Damian and Helena next to him subconsciously pulled out their weapons. Helena immediately protected the degraded little Jonathan behind him, wearing an old hen helmet. The appearance of a calf.

And Ke Wen glanced at it, and immediately stood in front of the three little guys, looking at the guy in front of him who looked more like Batman than Batman. This look was really different from the Batman he had seen before. In and out.

In such a tense atmosphere of confrontation, the first thing this Batman from this point in time did when he saw Ke Wen was not to ask questions, but to take out a wine jug from his belt, unscrew it, and give it to himself. After taking a sip of wine, he said, "You have come to the wrong place, stranger."

"Father?" Damian and Helena were dumbfounded at the sight of Batman who broke his skills in a second, and couldn't help shouting.

"Father?" Batman in this timeline was also confused.

"Father?" The AI ​​Batman also appeared. Seeing this plausible Batman, the stored data came to a conclusion immediately, and he also called out.

"Father?" Ke Wen, who had become a melon eater, was also dumbfounded.

For a moment, the scene was a bit chaotic, everyone looked at each other, trying to find answers from each other's faces.And Ke Wen, who was the first to come back to his senses, corresponds to the title of the entire bat family, and suddenly understood what happened. Looking at the three generations of the bat family, his face is not to mention how exciting it is.

And the second thing that came to mind was the Batman of this timeline, or better remember it with another name, the old man, from the flashpoint event of the New 52 restart, the one died by Bruce Wayne, his father, Thomas Wayne becomes Batman's world.Flashpoint Batman had already had the experience of encountering a visitor from another timeline. Having experienced it, he also understood that he had another encounter, and the person he met this time was still the person he cared about the most.

"Bruce? Is that you? Son!" Looking at the projected AI Batman, the old man's voice was a little excited, while Damian and Helena were once again in a daze, why everyone was calling Dad.

As an AI, this intelligent Batman who inherited everything from Bruce Wayne's memory in the Injustice universe shouldn't have emotions. However, the power of phantom technology is here. It can even make people unable to distinguish whether they are a life or a piece of programming. The AI ​​that came out, the screen of AI Batman shook for a while, and the face of Bruce Wayne was revealed.

"It's me, Father, I'm Bruce."

"My God, didn't Barry succeed? No, what's wrong with your body." The old man also noticed that something was wrong with the son in front of him.

"About this point, I think the situation is a bit complicated, Mr. Thomas. Besides, you can't just focus on your son. Standing next to you are your grandson and granddaughter, and there is also a good friend of your grandson." Originally Ke Wen, who also wanted to introduce little Jonathan, held back for a long time, but he didn't hold back a general idea. He couldn't say that this kid might abduct your granddaughter in the future. The old man who is not guaranteed will just pull out a gun and shoot little Jonathan in the head. After all Now little Jonathan has successfully turned into a rookie.

"Then who are you?"

"I'm just an unlicensed driver with a bunch of brats running around." I complained, but it gave the people who were a little confused a space to relax. Looking at the son in front of me who seemed to be only a projection, he still The pair of children whom the young man said were his grandchildren, and the little Jonathan who looked at him timidly behind his granddaughter, pondered for a while before the old man said, "Come with me."

After finishing speaking, he got into his rough style Batmobile and began to lead the way, and Ke Wen also got into the Saitron again, followed behind the old man's car, and walked in the city one after the other. Galloped, stopped on the deserted Wayne Manor, and came to the underground bat cave through the mechanism.There is no such thing as the Batcave in our own universe or the unjust universe, where there are all kinds of high-tech, crazy and cool cars, but some are a pile of messy books on the bookshelf, a simple workshop, an operating bed, and so on. There are wines on display, guns and ammunition piled up like mountains, a woman in prison, a family photo of three people, and a big old computer.

The old man got out of the car and took off his hood, revealing his weather-beaten face, gray hair at the temples and a sexy chin full of stubble, which is still in line with the old man.

"Let's talk about everything about you," the old man who was sitting there, who was about to take a sip of wine, glanced at Damian and the others, thought for a while, put down the wine, and waited for Ke Wen and the others. explain.

"Are you so relieved to bring us in?" Ke Wen didn't explain immediately. Instead, he looked at this bat cave, which can be called an arsenal, and he was a little surprised. There were only part of the portrayal in the animated movie, so he thought the old man The Bat Cave is a place for you to rest and perform surgery. Unexpectedly, the roughness is a bit rough, but it still fits the style of this world.

"Because I am qualified to talk to you only here. The firepower here is enough to level the entire Gotham City, if you really want to do it."

This is the Batman I know. This character is in the same line.With a word of emotion, Ke Wen also began to tell the old man what he and others had experienced in detail, omitting the part of Dr. Manhattan, and blocked an explosion that could destroy the metropolis from himself, but was accidentally killed by the old man. Throw it into the multiverse, then wander into the universe of injustice, where I like to mention a black technology chariot and an AI Batman, and then on the way back to my own universe, there is an accident, the universe is right, I went to the wrong time, Came here.

The old man looked at the eyes of Damian, Helena, and little Jonathan. After listening to Ke Wen's story, he made sure that he was not lying, and there was a smile on his vicissitudes of life.

"It seems that Barry has succeeded,"

Nonsense, there is still a reason for the failure of killing flash and offering sacrifices to heaven. Your son now has two wives plus an ambiguous one. He has both sons and daughters and three adopted sons. The agreed DC is the darkest, and the entire Justice League is now the best. It must be him!In his heart, he kept complaining that his world was not only restarted because of the flash point, but also because of the intrusion of his big moth, the fate of some people was not as dark as before, but he couldn't say such things in front of the old man Come out.

"Children, can you come over and let me see you?" The old man Thomas Wayne waved to Damian and Helena. Although the two little guys had never met Thomas before, their blood was thicker than water and they couldn't be fooled by their kinship. Yes, without much hesitation, he walked up to Thomas.

Seeing Damian's face similar to his son's when he was a child, and Helena's eyes, Thomas was about to cry. This is the life he wants his son to live. Restarting and returning to the fact of death, as long as his child can live the life he expects, this is his best gift as a parent.

"Since you have told your story, let me tell you about our world and everything that happened in our timeline. It all started when the Flash went back to the past and tried to save his mother. The timeline changed. , In our world, I became Batman, my wife became the Joker, Bruce died, there is no Justice League, only the Paradise Island and Atlanteans who are constantly conquering, and the despair of the end of the world.

The Flash, who realized that he had done something wrong, found me and regained his speed force. After a fatal fight, I killed a speeder named Albert Swan, and let the Flash get Enough speed force, go back to the past, stop the Flash who tried to save his mother, get the world back on track, and ensure your correct timeline is running, and our world will be eliminated like this. "

Damian listened to the old man Thomas telling all this without knowing it, and couldn't help being surprised. Who would have thought that his own universe would have experienced such a thing.Instead, Ke Wen frowned. He knew all of this, and it was basically the same as the original plot, but in the original plot, the old man was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. , I can't see where the problem is.

"Are you wondering why our world hasn't been destroyed? Why hasn't this timeline been erased? Yes, young man." The old man Thomas noticed Ke Wen's expression and asked directly.

"Almost, can you tell me?"

"Don't worry, young man, this is what I'm going to say," the old man stroked Helena's hair, and said slowly, "As you're curious, this timeline should have disappeared when Barry set things right, but This is not the case, I was seriously injured in that battle, the kind that was about to die, and Captain Atom, who was captured by Atlantis, also activated the program before the death of Neptune, and was completely detonated, a world-destroying event The nuclear explosion spread from the Atlantic Ocean to the world, and we are like human beings..."

"Pfft!" Just as the old man was talking about the impact of the atomic captain's explosion, little Jonathan laughed inappropriately.

"What are you laughing at?" Looking at little Jonathan, the old man said a little displeased.

"No, I just suddenly thought of something happy."

"What are you happy about?"

"We don't have an atomic captain in our universe."

As soon as Little Jonathan's words came out, Ke Wen also laughed out loud. Although he knew it was inappropriate, Little Jonathan's death looked very much like himself.

"What are you laughing at?" The old man also asked.

"I also think of happy things," Ke Wen said, trying to suppress a smile.

"What are you happy about?"

"Captain Atom exploded into fireworks in the universe~"

Then, the AI ​​Batman and the hooded old man unleashed DC's most terrifying torture, Batman's Gaze 2!In that silent stare, Ke Wen and Jonathan Jr. were forced to squat in a corner, and peeked at the old man and AI Batman across a table.

After shutting Ke Wen and Jr. Jonathan with stares, the old man continued: "In that nuclear explosion that destroyed the world, everything became unimportant. The queen of Amazon and the king of Atlantis died. Originally, I deserved to die too, but that man, the man Barry called Superman, I don't know why he did this, his body stood in the nuclear explosion, blocking part of the power of the nuclear explosion, and then I lost consciousness, and when I woke up again, I found that my injuries had healed, but the superman who blocked this part of the explosion and left the seeds of hope for this world is gone, I don’t know if he is dead or not , but that area has become a forbidden area for life, no one can enter, and the world, because of this nuclear explosion, took half of the life away, and then because of the nuclear winter, the radiation scattered all over the world took away half of it again People, it wasn't until these two years that the radiation had been reduced to the point where it could not be lethal, and then it stabilized. I also used the equipment, technology, and resources I saved from the dead steel skeleton to transform Gotham into a One of today's human surviving bases."

The story made Ke Wen a little confused. The plot changed again. He didn't expect such a development, and he also realized a problem at this time. How would he change the plot!
