Chapter 329: Adventure Team's (Not) Underground Exploration of Cadmus Labs
“What's wrong, Martian Girl?” Yang Le noticed Megan's body stiffen and sensed her unusual brainwaves. He immediately realized that Robin and his gang were up to something again.
“Nothing, sir,” Martian Girl replied stiffly. “It’s just that Robin sent over a lot of information, and I wasn’t prepared for it and got startled.”
“Is that so?” Yang Le didn't dwell on the matter. No escape, Robin and the others were definitely up to something, and they had even turned Megan to their side.
The Bat-family kids all had a bit of a rebellious spirit in them. Wally was also restless, and Roy had an unusual obsession with joining the Justice League. Even Jackson, a steady and humble good kid whose skin color was very mismatched, definitely wouldn't be able to hold on. After all, he was just a 16-year-old child.
And Megan, this child who subconsciously tried to please others due to her own reasons, definitely wouldn't offer other opinions at this time. Not wanting to be out of place was the key reason why she didn't dare to refute others.
However, this was not beyond Yang Le's expectations. Rather, he had expected it long ago. To make these children behave, he probably had to wait until they grew up or lost something important.
Three men make a tiger; it couldn't be more fitting for these children. A group of naughty children together always dared to do things they wouldn't normally do. In Yang Le's opinion, these naughty children needed some deeper lessons.
Thinking about it, Yang Le suddenly had a good Idea, a good Idea that even made him feel a little chilly. If this plan succeeded, Yang Le might be able to reap a bunch of Fun… no, a Team of helpful and mature Super Heroes.
As a teacher, Yang Le nodded. If he said he'd do it, he'd do it. For the fresh blood of the Justice League, he was duty-bound and could not refuse!
“Are you thirsty, Martian Girl?” Yang Le pointed to the Little Broken Car on the side. “There are some Iced Drinks in the car, Cola? Juice? Or Water?”
“Ah? Oh!” Martian Girl was obviously not used to lying, and looked startled. “Juice, Juice will do.”
“OK.” Yang Le moved his Crab Legs and quickly walked to the Little Broken Car. Under Megan's worried gaze, he closed the car Door. Every second Yang Le disappeared was torment for Megan.
Just when Megan couldn't help but want to use X-Ray Vision to check Yang Le's State, Yang Le leisurely opened the car Door and walked out, with two cans of Drink clamped in his Crab Claws.
“Sorry, after the Little Broken Car Transformation, the refrigerator was hidden in the Trunk. It took some time to find it.” Yang Le's face was as usual, or rather, no one could see any change in his Expression on his Face made of Hard Carapace.
“Here, this is your Juice.” Yang Le handed the Fruit Juice to Megan. “What’s wrong? You don’t look too good. Is the Fear of Flame still there?”
“Yes, yes, a little bit.” Megan guiltily took the Fruit Juice, stiffly opened it, and took a small sip. The icy and sweet Fruit Juice relaxed her slightly.
“If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me in time.” Yang Le's eyes flickered, and a blue thing quietly drilled into the Ground from behind him. None of the people present noticed this abnormality.
While Megan was playing wits with Yang Le, the Adventure Team hadn't stopped their adventure. At this time, they were relying on Robin and Speedy's Grappling Hook to continuously descend. In the end, they had to stop at the twenty-sixth floor below ground because the Rope length was not enough.
“Opened it.” Robin operated on the Microcomputer for a while, and the Elevator Door slowly opened. “Welcome to the real Cadmus Labs Underground.”
The dim Tunnel and the Ground-level research institute were simply two different Art Styles. The group walked into the Tunnel, and Kid Flash's Corner of Mouth curled up as he looked at the long Tunnel.
‘I’ll go ahead and scout the way.’ He said in the Telepathic Channel, and before the others could Reply, he rushed out first.
Aqualad covered his Forehead. This Team was really difficult to lead. Although he was not the Captain, as the oldest person in the Team, he subconsciously took this Duty upon himself.
There was no way around it. Although Speedy was the same Age as him, the former was still of unstable temperament, and might quarrel with others for some Reason.
‘Slow down, Kid Flash!’ Helplessly, Aqualad could only remind him in the Telepathic Channel, and then led the remaining two people to try their best to keep up with the former.
The transmission of the Telepathic Channel was much faster than Sound, but by the time Kid Flash received it, he had already run to the corner of the Tunnel. When he was about to turn, he saw an incomparably huge Figure.
“Dong!”
Muffled Footsteps came, those were several Behemoth Beast with huge bodies and gray Skin. They looked like Behemoth Beast that often appeared in games and various works. The steps of these Giant Beast were surprisingly uniform, and the Footsteps were all coming at the same time.
Kid Flash was startled by these suddenly appearing Giant Beast, and scrambled to climb away from the Inevitable Path of the Giant Beast. What was surprising was that these Giant Beast clearly bumped into Kid Flash head-on, but did not react to the latter at all, as if they didn't see him.
‘Kid Flash, are you alright?’ Taking advantage of Kid Flash's daze, Aqualad had already run behind him and issued an Ask.
‘I’m fine.’ Kid Flash came back to his senses. ‘Do you know what those are?’
‘Obviously, these are the Truth of Cadmus Labs.’
Speedy and Robin arrived late. After all, they were just Ordinary Person. Although their Physical Strength far exceeded their peers, they were definitely no match for the two Superhuman in front.
‘Look there.’ Robin pointed to the Crown of the Giant Beast. The others followed the Direction of Robin's Finger and found that on the Crown of one of the Giant Beast, there was a Creature with a petite body, also with gray Skin color, and two small red Horns growing on its Head.
Speedy pulled out the Bow on his Back, while Robin was using the Microcomputer to Record everything in front of him.
‘I feel like there are definitely more Secrets waiting for us.’ Robin looked in the Direction where the Giant Beast came from.
The group moved forward in the Direction where the Giant Beast came from. After walking for about five or six minutes, they finally saw a reinforced Metal Security Door. Robin didn't say a word and took out the Microcomputer to start deciphering the Gate Password.
Obviously, this kind of registered Security Door could not stop Robin. It only took thirty seconds for the Security Door to open.
‘As simple as going Home.’ Robin boasted a little, and took the lead to walk in.
As soon as they entered the Door, the Adventure Team was shocked by the Scene in front of them. This was an incomparably wide Room. In the Room, several rows of Walls composed of half-person-high Glass Tank and four to five meters high were neatly arranged.
In those half-person-high Glass Tank, there were Bugs with terrifying shapes that were half a person tall. Their Bodies glowed with cyan Electric Light, and the Electric Light was transmitted to all Directions along the Conduit.
‘This is a Power Plant.’ Robin said with certainty.
“What's wrong, Martian Girl?” Yang Le noticed Megan's body stiffen and sensed her unusual brainwaves. He immediately realized that Robin and his gang were up to something again.
