They returned to the new base of the Righteous Alliance. The joy of rescuing the interstellar research lab members and escaping in one piece was gone, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy.
Speaking of which, the Wilderness Wolf had only lost some random demons, and had snatched the Human Box away, which was absolutely profitable.
While they had rescued people, especially Victor's father, they didn't actually reap any rewards, and still had to deal with the fact that the mother box was about to transform Earth.
Fortunately, Xiao Ba was already alive and kicking again after he healed his wounds with the Light of Life.
As soon as he entered the base, he returned to the table and poured himself a cup of black tea to calm himself down.
The high-grade thermos pot allowed the black tea to remain at a relatively high temperature. It was a little hot, and it warmed up Xiao Ba's body, who had lost hundreds of milliliters of blood.
But he didn't forget to ask his new teammates to enjoy it with him.
Arthur snorted. "Do you have alcohol? I like it. "
Xiao Ba was a good kid who never touched alcohol. Nobody in the base had ever drunk alcohol. He could only shake his head. "I'll go look for it."
Swish! Swish!
A few seconds later, Xiao Ba returned with a bottle of alcohol and gave it to Arthur. "How about whiskey?"
Arthur raised an eyebrow in surprise and patted his little brother on the shoulder. "Well, you're not bad."
Xiao Ba chuckled and scratched his head at Victor. "You don't drink tea either, do you?"
Actually, he wanted to ask if Victor drank engine oil, but he was used to making corny jokes with Luke. After thinking for a long time, he realized that it wouldn't be polite to ask Victor.
Victor said calmly, "No." He then crossed his arms and stood on the side.
He wasn't in the mood to drink anything.
He had been accidentally modified by the Human Box. Once he fused with the mother box, he might end up being controlled by it.
The Wilderness Wolf, on the other hand, was the original owner of the mother box. At the very least, it was the wolf that had brought the mother box to Earth.
The thought of turning into a demon and listening to the Wilderness Wolf's commands made Victor uncomfortable.
While the new teammates were talking, the three veterans walked over.
Lord Wei took off his helmet and tossed it aside. Then, he poured himself a cup of black tea.
Why would he say that it felt good to take a bath in the sea in the middle of winter?
Diana took off her equipment and put her sword and shield on the equipment rack. She even tossed the Lasso of Truth on the couch.
It was fine if they couldn't take down the Wasteland Wolf after a huge battle.
More importantly, she could feel that the Wasteland Wolf was indeed stronger than her.
Although it was not to the extent of crushing him, it would be difficult for her to take revenge on her own.
This guy had killed a sister that she grew up with on Paradise Island, as well as hundreds of people from the same clan. If she did not avenge this blood feud, how could she call herself the Amazon princess?
Luke was the calmest. The nano armor shrank back into a necklace, and he still looked like Mr. Bell in a suit.
He was not too afraid of the Wasteland Wolves.
As long as it wasn't the kind of guy who was strong and undying, it wouldn't be that difficult to kill.
Thus, he coughed lightly. When he saw everyone looking at him, he said, "Don't think too much about what has already happened. The most important thing now is to find the Wasteland Wolf. It wants to use the Mother Box to terraform the Earth, but it won't go to outer space, right? "
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Victor.
Victor opened his eyes. "I'm looking for the Mother Box."
Luke nodded. "If you need any equipment or information, you can talk to Alfred."
Then, he looked at Lord Wei and said, "You're in charge."
Hearing Luke's opening remarks, Lord Wei quickly got into the mood. He subconsciously coughed and said, "Everyone, take a break for now and be on standby. We'll set off once Victor finds the Wasteland Wolf. "
It was simple, straightforward and efficient, without any nonsense.
A speech before the battle? At the very least, they had to wait until they found the Wasteland Wolf.
Arthur sat down with a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He took a sip of whiskey and said lazily, "The Wasteland Wolves are very strong. We might die."
Everybody raised their eyebrows.
Arthur, however, didn't seem to notice their expressions. He continued, "Honestly, I don't mind. We have to stop it. But Superman isn't here, and we don't know when he'll be back. "
Everybody was silent.
Arthur pointed the bottle at Lord Wei. "No offense, but you don't have superpowers …"
Lord Wei was expressionless. I'm sorry I don't have superpowers.
Arthur pointed at a second person. "You might be a mole. Who knows?"
Victor's eyes glowed red.
Arthur moved the bottle again. "You're … too weak. You're fast, but you're so small. "
Barney blinked. How can I run fast when I'm your size?
Arthur pointed at Luke. "You look fine, but why are you imitating that guy who doesn't have superpowers?"
Luke smiled but didn't say anything. Lord Wei looked down at the back of Arthur's group.
Finally, Arthur shifted his gaze to the Goddess of Battles.
Diana had already lowered her head several times to hide the smile on her face.
Arthur shook his head. "God, you're so beautiful. You're also strong and brave … "
The three men and one robot had subtle expressions on their faces as they exchanged glances. In the end, they all looked at Arthur's dolphin and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Arthur said, "My ancestors once fought the Amazons, but I didn't exist back then."
He looked uneasy as he said that, and forced a smile that looked like he was going to cry. "I'm still young, and I don't want to die yet. I don't think I've explored all the oceans and lands in this world yet. But I've always been alone. I'm happy to be able to do something big … "
Diana lowered her head again and pursed her lips.
Even Lord Wei's poker face had a smile on it. This was the mentality of a normal young man. He wanted to do something, but he didn't have the confidence, and he didn't want to die.
Of course, no normal person wanted to die, not to mention a hybrid like Arthur who could move freely in the oceans and lands.
Although this guy's mouth was a little smelly, he was still a young man. Who didn't have a chuunibyou period?
Even if Arthur had long hair and a stubble, he was still a young man. At most … he looked a little impatient.
Lord Wei was quite nice to young people, especially those who could be won over.
With a smile on his face, he pointed at Arthur. "Arthur, you're pressing on something."
Arthur's monologue finally came to a stop. He turned around and grabbed a rope that was flashing with a hazy golden light, or rather … a lasso of mantras.
He had personally tested the lasso's function against Doomsday.
But as for mantras … it was indeed better to let someone else demonstrate it.
After throwing the lasso aside, Arthur suddenly felt that the urge to tell the story was gone. The golden light on the lasso also faded away, becoming inconspicuous.
Vaguely understanding something, he was embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say to ease the awkwardness of what he had just said.
