The group returned to the Justice League's new base. The joy of rescuing the Star Lab personnel and escaping unscathed faded, and the atmosphere began to become a little depressing.
In fact, the Steppe Wolf only lost some miscellaneous demons, but he snatched the Human Box away, which was definitely a huge profit.
Although they rescued people, especially Father Victor, they did not actually achieve any results and still had to face the major event of the Mother Box's transformation of the earth.
Fortunately, Luke used the light of life to heal Xiaoba's wounds, and he is now alive and well again.
As soon as he entered the base, he quickly returned to the table and poured himself a cup of black tea to calm himself.
The high-end thermos kept the black tea at a relatively high temperature, which was slightly hot, warming up the body of Xiaoba, who had lost hundreds of milliliters of blood.
But he did not forget to invite his new teammates to enjoy it together.
Arthur curled his lips and said, "Are there any wines? I like that."
Xiaoba is a good kid who never drinks. No one in the base has ever drunk alcohol. Hearing this, he could only shake his head and say, "I'll go look for him."
Swish! Swish!
In just a few seconds, Xiaoba came back with a bottle of wine and handed it to Arthur: "How about whiskey?"
Arthur raised his eyebrows in surprise, took the wine and patted his little brother on the shoulder: "Well, you are pretty good."
Xiaoba chuckled, looked at Victor, and immediately scratched his head: "You don't drink tea either, right?"
In fact, he wanted to ask if he drank engine oil, but fortunately he had gotten used to telling jokes to Luke during this period of time, so he thought about it for a while before he felt that asking this was not very polite to Victor.
Victor's face was calm: "No." Then he stood aside with his arms folded across his chest.
He was in no mood to drink anything.
He was accidentally transformed by the Human Box. Once he merges with the Mother Box, he might be controlled by it in the end.
And Steppenwolf is the original owner of the Mother Box, at least it was he who brought the Mother Box to Earth.
Victor felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about himself becoming a demon and obeying the orders of the Steppe Wolf.
While the new teammates were communicating with each other, three veterans also came over.
Mr. Wei untied his helmet, threw it aside, and poured himself a cup of black tea.
How could he make such a fuss about how nice it was to take a sea bath outdoors in Gotham in the middle of winter
Diana also took her equipment, leaning her sword and shield on the equipment rack beside her, and even throwing the Lasso of Truth on the sofa next to her.
It’s okay that we failed to defeat Steppenwolf after a great battle.
The key is that she can feel that Steppenwolf is indeed stronger than her.
Although it is not at the level of crushing, it is difficult for her to take revenge on her own.
This guy killed a sister she grew up with, as well as hundreds of her own people on Paradise Island. How could she have the nerve to call herself an Amazon princess if she didn't avenge this blood feud
Luke was the most ordinary. His nano armor retracted into a necklace around his neck, but he still looked like Mr. Bell in a well-tailored suit.
He was not too afraid of the Steppenwolf.
As long as he is not the kind of guy who is both strong and tough and cannot die, it is not that difficult to kill him.
So he coughed lightly, and when everyone looked at him, he said, "Don't think too much about what has already happened. The most important thing now is to find Steppenwolf. It wants to use the Mother Box to transform the earth, so it won't go to outer space, right?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Victor.
Victor opened his eyes: "I am looking for the whereabouts of the Mother Box."
Luke nodded: "If you need any equipment or information, you can ask Alfred."
Then, he looked at Master Wei and said, "Next, you make the arrangements."
After hearing Luke's opening remarks, Master Wei quickly got into the groove and coughed subconsciously: "Everyone take a break and be on standby. Once Victor finds the Steppenwolf, we'll set off."
Simple, straightforward and efficient, no nonsense.
A pre-battle speech? At least we have to wait until we find Steppenwolf.
Arthur sat down with the bottle of wine, raised it and blew a sip of whiskey, then said lazily: "The steppe wolf is very strong, we may die."
Everyone looked sideways.
Arthur didn't seem to notice everyone's expressions, and continued, "Honestly, I don't mind. We have to stop it. But Superman is not here, and we don't know when he will come back."
Everyone was silent.
Arthur pointed the bottle at someone: "No offense, but you don't have super powers..."
Mr. Wei had a blank expression on his face: I’m really sorry that I don’t have super powers.
Arthur continued to use the bottle mouth to point to the second one: "You may be a mole, who knows."
Victor's eyes sparkled red.
Arthur continued to move. "You are... too weak. Although you are very fast, you have such a small body."
Xiaoba blinked: With a guy like you, can I still run fast
Arthur pointed at Luke and said, "You look okay, but why are you trying to imitate the outfit of someone without super powers?"
Luke smiled but said nothing. Master Wei lowered his gaze to look behind Arthur's pig tribe.
Finally, Arthur finally moved his gaze to the goddess of war.
Diana had lowered her head several times to hide the smile that she couldn't suppress on her face.
Arthur shook his head in admiration: "Oh my God, you are so beautiful. And so strong and brave..."
The three men and one machine had subtle expressions and exchanged glances with each other. Finally, after looking at Arthur the Pig, they all couldn't help but reveal a look of confusion.
Arthur: "My ancestors once fought the Amazons, but I didn't exist then."
At this point, he looked uneasy, and forced a smile that looked a bit like crying: "I'm still young, I haven't lived enough, and I don't want to die yet. I feel that I haven't traveled all over the world's oceans and lands. But I have always been alone, and I am very happy to be able to do something big..."
Diana lowered her head again and smiled secretly.
Even Mr. Wei's poker face showed a little smile: This is the normal mentality of young people, wanting to do something but not having the confidence, and not wanting to die.
Of course, no normal person wants to die, let alone a mixed-blood like Arthur who can move freely between the ocean and the land.
Although this guy is a bit foul-mouthed, young people are always at the age when they are annoying and second-rate.
Even though Arthur has messy long hair and a scruffy beard, he is still a young man, at most... he just looks a little anxious.
Mr. Wei's attitude towards young people, especially those who can be won over, is still acceptable.
With a smile on his face, he raised his hand and pointed: "Arthur, you are pressing something."
Arthur finally stopped talking, which sounded more and more like an inner monologue. He turned his head to look behind him, raised his hand and grabbed a rope that was flashing a hazy golden light, or... the Lasso of Truth.
Luke had personally experimented with the lasso's function when dealing with Doomsday.
But the truth is... it's better to let others show it.
Throwing the lasso aside, Arthur suddenly felt that the urge to tell the story was gone, and the golden light on the lasso also disappeared, becoming inconspicuous.
He vaguely understood something, his face full of shame and annoyance, but he didn't know what to say to ease the embarrassment caused by his previous nonsense.
