MTL - As Superman’s Younger Brother, I Became a Native of the Motherland-Chapter 55
Clark, on the other hand, was hit by the wooden steps of the cellar, and smashed the steps behind him with a bang.
With his back against the wall, Eric took a deep breath and shook his head to clear his dizzy head.
Feet on the air, ready to fall to the ground.
But the moment he was suspended in the air, he felt a burst of weakness and almost fell from the air.
After falling to the ground, he immediately checked his body.
Nothing out of the ordinary, just a little weak and tired.
After confirming his physical condition, he looked at Clark.
It was found that Clark's condition was worse, lying on the ground and gasping for breath, without even the strength to stand up.
He exhaled and walked towards Clark.
Reaching out his hand to pull Clark off the ground, "Are you okay?"
"not too good."
Clark coughed and covered his chest, "I... I seem to have no strength all of a sudden, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Hearing Clark talking about his physical condition, Eric frowned.
Could it be that the energy or radiation generated by the spaceship just now affected his and Clark's bodies?
But he and Clark's Kryptonian have different physiques. Why do both of them have symptoms of physical weakness?
When he was wondering, the sound of a police car rang from a distance.
Eric activated his super vision and looked into the distance.
Several police cars with "DCA" written on their surfaces were heading towards the Kent farm.
DCA?
Someone from the CDC?
Why are these people here?
Looking back, Super Hearing heard the ringing of the phone in the living room.
Eric immediately activated his super speed and moved to the living room to answer the phone in a flash.
"Is it Eric?"
On the other end of the phone came Jonathan's slightly anxious voice.
"It's me, Dad."
"The CDC suspects your mother has some unknown toxin, so they went to the farm to check in the name of public safety. Listen, Eric, I want you to hide the spaceship from them, You can do it, right, Eric."
"I understand, Dad."
Eric nodded.
"Also, someone from the DCA may want to look into Martha's itinerary in recent days and tell them that Martha hasn't left the farm since the weekend and has been doing a phone call."
Jonathan and Eric "channeled" a confession again.
"I know what to do, Dad."
After Eric hung up the phone, he looked at several "DCA" vehicles gradually approaching the road.
A gust of wind blew, the figure disappeared in the living room, and the next second appeared on the road.
Crimson lasers from both eyes shot at the tires of a "DCA" vehicle driving in front.
With a loud "bang", the tire of "DCA" burst, and the vehicle immediately lost control and slanted to the left of the road.
The driver of the vehicle stepped on the gas pedal and immediately slammed the steering wheel before the car came to a stop when it crashed into a roadside tree.
Cars with flat tires lay in the middle of the road, also preventing other "DCA" vehicles from moving.
Eric, who caused all the culprits, gave him a cold look, turned and walked towards the farm.
Chapter 84 I swear to you
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Eric lowered his head and clenched the fist in his hand.
Why do you feel that your heat vision is stronger than usual when you are bathed in the sun?
I checked the motherland template in my body, and it still stayed at 85% of the progress.
The template progress has not been unblocked, why does my power increase? !
After thinking for a moment, Eric came to a conjecture in his heart.
In order to test this conjecture, he activated super speed and moved to his room, and took out a lead box from under the bed.
The moment the lead box was opened, the green kryptonite inside was exposed to the air, and Eric instantly felt a wave of weakness hit him quickly.
There was a stinging pain in the eyes and fingers, and the skin felt like it was burning.
Turning off the lead box, Eric couldn't help but scolded Jonathan's classic phrase - "Sour Radish Bichi"!
Sure enough, as I guessed, the spaceship will cause a kind of radiation to the surrounding after it starts.
Mother Martha's body was an ordinary human body and could not bear this kind of injury, so she was unconscious.
Clark is losing strength and getting weaker.
And this kind of harmful radiation or energy, the damage caused to oneself is to affect the structure of one's own body.
Perhaps this unknown energy added some Kryptonian elements to its body after detecting its own similar body to Kryptonian Superman.
This explains how he gets stronger in the sun and feels uncomfortable in the face of kryptonite.
While not quite as reactive as Clark, it does get affected by green kryptonite.
So what is this?
I have been using psychological cues to make myself fear kryptonite before.
This time there is no need to pretend to be "Kryptonians".
Because in some respects, he has indeed become a "Kryptonian", a "Kryptonian" who has the body structure of Krypton based on the motherland as a template.
After scolding inwardly, he didn't bother to study his body any more, and launched a rapid teleportation to the barn.
Clark was in a bit of a bad state at this point, and he started bleeding from his nose.
Wiping his nosebleed, he asked Eric in a panic, "Eric, I...bleed?!"
This was Clark's first bloodshed, so there was panic and helplessness in his tone.
Just like a swimmer who is suddenly proficient in water, suddenly finds that he has lost his swimming skills in the sea, so he will panic and be submerged in water.
"Yes, I saw it."
Eric looked at the panic of the other party, shook his head, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Wipe it down first and you'll be fine. Now I'm going to move this thing out and hide it in a safe place for now."
Saying that, he grabbed the spaceship and slowly lifted it up.
Clark wiped the blood from his nose with a tissue and asked Eric, "Why hide?"
"The CDC suspects that the mother is infected with some unknown toxin, so they have to come to the farm for a full inspection, and they can't find the spacecraft."
"I know a safe place."
Clark ignored his weakness and said to Eric: "The Pete family has a bigger cellar, where the spacecraft is hidden, even Dr. Indiana Jones can't find it."
"I'm going to call him right away."
Saying that, without caring about his physical condition, he ran towards the living room.
Eric carried the spaceship, and after slowly flying out of the barn, he accelerated sharply, drew a trajectory in the air, and disappeared over the farm.
Someone from the CDC, who had been in a car accident, also drove into the farm after Eric left.
......
Jonathan, who came specially from the hospital, breathed a sigh of relief because the "DCA" people didn't find the spaceship.
But the staff wearing biochemical suits still found something strange in the soil of the cellar.
"Some sort of radioactive spore, in the dirt in the basement, we suspect Mrs. Kent has been exposed to that."
The head of "DCA" explained to Jonathan: "We will carpet disinfect the basement, if you find anything you can contact us."
"I will."
Jonathan nodded in response.
Night fell quickly.
The living room was dark, and Jonathan didn't turn on the light. He sat on the sofa with one hand on his forehead, wondering what he was thinking.
Tread!
After hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and looked at Eric, who was approaching.
"Is the spaceship hidden?"
Jonathan sorted out his emotions and asked Eric.
"Well, it's hidden in Pete's cellar."
After a moment of silence, Eric said to his father, "Clark knows about the spaceship."
"I was looking for an opportunity to tell him and have a good talk with him, but now Clark knows he must be hurt in this situation."
Jonathan sighed, "I've always been so stubborn and not good at understanding people, especially with Clark..."
Facing his father's self-blame, Eric didn't answer, just stared at the darkening night in the room.
After a while of silence, he asked his father:
"How is your mother?"
"It's not very good."
Jonathan clasped his hands together, stirring weakly, "The doctor said her condition continued to deteriorate, but could not find any effective treatment. She woke up once today..."
Jonathan said with red eyes: "She told me that one night she went into the cellar and there was a bright light shining through her body, maybe that was what allowed her to get pregnant. I asked her why you later Back in the cellar."
"She told me she was terrified, afraid that if one day you and Clark opened the ship and found out who you really are, you'd want to leave us."
Jonathan looked up at the ceiling, trying not to lose his temper, "I'll comfort her, no, such a thing will never happen."
"Eric, did I tell you about my first meeting with Martha?"
"No, no."
Eric shook his head, and his heart was filled with a haze that could not be dispelled.
"I was taking a finance class at the Metropolitan University, and I was sitting by the fountain nibbling on an apple and reading my notes. A girl, I remember very well, was wearing a blue woolen coat and borrowed class notes from me. I knew she was in charge of the class that day. Note, but I didn't say it, Martha didn't know until now."
Wiping the corners of his eyes with his thumb, Jonathan paused for a moment.
"She was really beautiful at the time. I lent her the note, and she asked me, aren't you afraid that I won't pay it back? I just said, I'd rather trust people. She smiled happily, and I was thinking, if I can How nice to marry her and make her my wife...I've been thinking about it until this day and haven't given up on it. Every day my heart tells me I want to marry her as my wife!"
After Jonathan finished his story with Martha, Eric was silent.
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at him.
"I promise you, Dad, I'll keep Mommy safe. I swear to you, no matter the cost!"
Chapter 85: Clark's Snooping
There was a sound from upstairs.
Eric and Jonathan looked away and found Clark lying unconscious at the corner of the stairs.
The two quickly went upstairs to help Clark up.
"His body is hot."
Jonathan hugged Clark and said with a frown.
"When I tried to start the spacecraft, I encountered the same situation as my mother, and a bright beam of light hit Clark and me. Maybe Clark's body was affected."
Eric explained to his father.
"That's the worst-case scenario."
