Red Superman

Zod never thought that the passage of time would be so long. He was destined to be a general from birth. His family regarded him as a general and trained him. He was several times older than his peers, which made him gradually stand out among his peers, and on the day he became an adult, he joined the Kryptonian army.

Following in the footsteps of Krypton predecessors, he began to expand abroad, participated in every important battle, won one war after another, and obtained countless colonies. Drew Zod was also quickly promoted due to his outstanding performance, and has own army.

Since then, Zod has been more fanatical than anyone else. He has spent his whole life in bloody battles. Sometimes, he feels that time passes so fast, and he has not even done more for Krypton. In a blink of an eye, he is already in the middle Year.

But as the accident happened, Zod was imprisoned in the phantom space, and he witnessed the demise of Krypton, but he was powerless. Lifeless.

Zod was desperate and sad. During the few years when Krypton was destroyed, he led his men to search the entire star field and explore the Kryptonian colony, but he failed to find a living tribe.

The heart of the formerly passionate general gradually turned cold. He no longer had any hope, and could only silently sit in the tomb of the star field, looking at the vast emptiness, waiting for death to come.

However, some time ago, Zod received a signal from the earth, it was a distress signal, and the sender was Kal-El.

The earth is a place 100,000 light years away from the Krypton star field, which is extremely far away, and Zod is not sure when the signal came.

But now that signal is coming again.

"Son of El?"

In the dead hall, Drew Zod tightened his grip on the communicator, put the receiver close to his ear, and listened to the familiar and unfamiliar names in it. His tone was calm and slightly trembling, which was especially clear in the empty hall.

"Yes, I am Kal-El, and my father is Jor-El."

Luo Wei's voice came, but it was a little stiff, but soon under the signal fluctuation, the original stiff voice gradually became clear, "...you are receiving my memory projection, which may come from many days ago, or even more It's been a while, but I'd like to talk to you, and your replies will be re-transmitted back to Earth, so I can hear them."

"You are still alive"

Zod breathed a sigh of relief. Except for a few subordinates, he hadn't heard the voice of his tribe for so many years. Every time he went to explore the Kryptonian colonies and try to find the surviving Kryptonians, what he saw was a group of icy people. Drink the dead body like ashes.

Originally, such a powerful race in the universe was annihilated and disintegrated in the universe in such an instant, the huge planet was turned into ruins and fragments, and the former glory was like a dead graveyard.

On the other side, on Earth, which is extremely far away from the galaxy, Kara, who was doing sit-ups inside the spaceship of Arctic Black Gold, saw the flashing lights of the main console and realized that the signal source Zod had received it.

"Carl, Zod received it."

Carla sat up and shouted to Lowe in the lab.

"Um."

Lowe walked out of the laboratory, looked at the flickering light spots, and breathed a sigh of relief. Zod did not refuse to receive the signal source, and maybe he could still talk.

A few days ago, on New Year's Day, Kara chose to live in the future, but she didn't forget Zod, so she reminded Lowe, hoping to resolve this matter reasonably.

So, there is the current phone call across the galaxy, to be precise, it is a time-space dialogue.

Because the people talking to Zod now are not Lowe and Kara themselves, but a memory image, which records the ideas and memories of Lowe and Kara, similar to the image of Jor-El.

Why can't I talk to Zod in person? The reason is very simple. Krypton is 100,000 light-years away from the earth. This distance is too far to achieve real-time communication. for a long time.

However, Luo Wei is not worried. There is no doubt about the memory images and real people. He has set his own ideas and some memories into it, and of course his emotions have also been injected into it.

If Zod cannot be persuaded, then Lowe knows that future wars cannot be avoided.

"Hopefully he makes the right choice"

Kara looked at the flickering light spots and muttered to herself.

at the same time.

"I haven't heard the voices of other tribesmen for a long time. I'm very happy. Your tone doesn't sound bad. You haven't been hurt."

Zod sat up from the chair while talking, his cold tone became much better, he slowed down, and continued: "Karl, I received your distress signal a while ago, from the reconnaissance plane of the Al family, Glad you still remember us, we're getting ready, it won't be long."

"Uncle Zod, that's not a distress signal."

Lowe's voice came, and he knew that what Zod was talking about was the emergency device accidentally triggered by the Ministry of Self-improvement.

At that time, the spaceship, that is, the reconnaissance plane, mistakenly thought that there was an enemy situation and sent a signal. It wanted to intercept it but it was too fast, and the signal had obviously been received by Zod.

Now, Zod apparently learned of Earth's existence.

"Not a distress signal?"

Zod's eyes sank slightly, and he seemed to guess what Luo Wei was thinking. He didn't continue the topic of asking for help, but said: "Carl, the earth is a perfect place for Kryptonians to live. I have read information about it."

"Yes, she's perfect."

Lowe's response came from the communicator, "But she doesn't belong to Kryptonians."

"Carl, what do you want to express to me?"

Zod's mood became much colder.

"General Zod, we don't want you to bring the kill."

This time, a crisp female voice came from the communicator.

"Who are you?"

Zod felt that the voice was familiar.

"Kara Zoel."

"General Zod, I know what you think, occupy the earth, let the Kryptonians reborn on the earth, and turn it into the second Krypton."

Kara took a deep breath. As the new generation of Krypton, she has known every famous general on Krypton, and naturally knows Drew Zod's character.

The greatest general of Krypton in this new century, he will never allow other civilizations to exist near the territory of Krypton, and he will not allow the Krypton civilization to be trampled and touched by others.

Lowe next to him didn't continue talking, but let his cousin Kara dissuade him. Karabi wanted to know Zod himself.

After all, the Al family had conflicts with the Zod family, and enemies often knew each other best.

"call"

Zod sat back on the big chair and didn't respond immediately. He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually dimmed, as if he was regretting something.

After a while, he replied: "Kara, you are young and ignorant. You have been in the phantom space for so many years. I forgive your ignorance and what you said just now. Just pretend that nothing happened."

"General Zod, I will not be ashamed of what I just said. The old era of Krypton cannot be repeated on Earth. You are just repeating the same mistakes. Maybe in the near future, Krypton will still perish. You know it very well in your heart." , and understand this very well, and the people in Parliament have also told you."

Kara's voice came again.

However, this sentence seemed to have stimulated Zod. He stood up suddenly, and said to the loudspeaker with a bit of anger: "The people in the council are just a group of mediocre people. They don't want Krypton to continue to exist. They let it go." Krypton is destroyed, they are not worthy to lead Krypton, and I have done so much, everything is for the people, for Krypton!"

"Uncle Zod, what Kryptonians want is not rebirth, not repeating the same mistakes. What Krypton needs is a new start. We should sit down and have a good talk."

Lowe sighed, having expected Zod's words for a long time.

It is in Zod's genes to let him continue Krypton and protect the people of Krypton, no matter in what way.

In fact, from his point of view, there is nothing wrong with him doing this. His purpose is to rebirth Krypton on Earth.

But Zod didn't think about it, what he did was just let the Kryptonians change to another place and repeat the same mistakes. As Jor Al said, the so-called rebirth just made the Kryptonians suffer another horrible destruction.

"Shut up, Carl, you don't even know how to respect General Zod."

Outside the hall of the mothership, a beautiful figure pushed the door in. She strode up to Zod and looked at the flickering dots on the screen, which represented the source of the signal from Luo Wei.

"Fiora, calm down, Karl has never lived on Krypton, he doesn't understand that Kryptonian etiquette is normal."

Seeing the deputy come in, Zod immediately interrupted her.

"I just want to communicate with you as a junior. I have heard your story. I fought for Krypton and was an invincible general. I regard you as my uncle, not simply ally."

Of course Lowe knew the etiquette of the Kryptonians. Kara had taught him some, and he also said that he should be called General Zod, which is the etiquette of the Kryptonians, because Zod is the supreme commander.

"Carl, you're a smart kid."

Zod seemed to like the remark, and continued, "You want to talk?"

"Uncle Zod, if you want Kryptonian civilization to continue, then let's really sit down and talk, I think, you don't want to let Kryptonians suffer a second destruction, because by then, Krypton may not be there again." If there is a second General Zod, then, what greets the Kryptonians is still death."

Lowe's words made Zod and Fiora a little silent.

Although they are all warlike in their genes and their minds are full of war, they naturally know what Lowe means, and they also know the purpose of Jor-El to stop the rebels, but they have no other way to solve the cause of Krypton's demise. But at the same time they could not accept the demise of Krypton.

This also led to the occurrence of rebellion.

Seeing that the two were silent, Luo Wei continued: "Zod, the people of Krypton, can no longer live in depression. The former Kryptonian society did not bring happiness, only endless misery. You are also in the colony and Sentinel. The Tower has seen how many people died tragically in the famine and passed away in sleep. The glory of Krypton is only built on the endless bones, Uncle Zod, what do you want is Krypton or the people of Krypton."

Luo Wei slowed down before continuing: "With the people, there will be Krypton. Uncle Zod, you know better than me, and this is why you want to get the Code of Life."

"Your father also wants to revive Krypton."

Zod was silent for a long time before speaking, thinking of his former friend, "You are very similar to him."

Jor-El and Zod have the same purpose, they both hope to revive Krypton, but their philosophies are different.

"I talked to my father and he wants you to come back and he said you hate being preached to, I hope you don't hate me."

Lowe's tone was calm, and he spoke unhurriedly.

Drew Zod looked at the flashing light spots on the screen, as well as the time and distance needed to reach the earth, he took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Karl, let's talk after we get to the earth."

talking.

He turned off the communication, cut off the source of the signal from Luo Wei, and then sat alone in the chair for a long time, frowning and thinking.

"General, do we really want to talk to Karl?"

Fiora was puzzled, and asked again: "Does it still need to find the world engine?"

The World Engine is a device that can reshape a planet's environment to resemble that of Krypton.

To put it simply, it is a device that can transform the planet, and it is one of the necessities for rebuilding Krypton. The gravity field of Krypton is not comparable to that of the earth.

Everyone on the planet Krypton is a superman, and the environment of Erkrypton can turn the Kryptonians who are flying into the sky into ordinary people.

"Yes, let them find out the world engine as soon as possible."

When Zod heard this, the tone of his answer was unpredictable.

"What about the two children of the Al family?"

Fiora was still worried about Carl and Kara, both of the Al family.

"I'll talk to them, the world engine gives us a second option."

After Zod finished speaking, he looked out of the huge skylight at the vast expanse of emptiness, floating countless planetary debris, among which were some building fragments, as well as corpses that had long been as cold as sticks.

Among the owners of these corpses, there used to be many followers who worshiped him and succumbed to him. He thought about burying them, but unfortunately there is no place to bury them. Now there is no living planet in this entire star field, or even the surrounding planets. , here is like a grave.

Looking at this scene, Zod had a complicated expression. He took off his armor and said to himself: "Is it to revive Krypton, or revive the people?"

Not long after, on the earth side, Huaxia has entered the winter vacation, and Luo Wei was also called back to the North Pole urgently by Jor-El's communication. Kara Ye went together, and now it has been a while since Zod received the signal.

Lowe and Kara finished listening to the conversation between Zod and the image.

Then Kara looked at Lowe and asked, "Do you think these problems can be resolved through conversation?"

"I don't know. Zod's mind is difficult to guess, but anyway, he is willing to talk, and of course I will choose to sit down and talk."

Lowe said, looking at Joel, "Father, what do you think?"

"Zod needs a chance."

Joel nodded, agreeing to talk, but he still frowned and said, "However, you still have to be prepared, Zod is not a person who is easy to submit, he can even sacrifice his life for Krypton "

[PS: I’m actually not sure how far Krypton is from the earth. Many people say it’s 100,000 light-years away, and it seems that it took a long time for Druzod to receive Superman’s distress signal in the movie During this period, Zod even collected the world engine, and also made a bunch of materials and equipment. 】
