Chapter 55 :The Fortress of Solitude

Arctic Circle.

The icy blue sky hangs high above the sky like a huge canvas, and the weak sunlight shatters the golden awns on the white ground, providing this extremely cold place with the only warmth it can. Although the water surface is not completely frozen, it is covered with floating ice.

The Arctic Circle is one of the most inaccessible places on the planet. At this time, there are few ships passing by. There is no ghost for hundreds of nautical miles above the white ice. The low temperature close to minus 20 degrees is enough to drive away. Walk most creatures. And like Jay and Carla who dared to walk on the ice with only tight-fitting tights and red capes, there are really only words like monsters that can describe them.

But there is nothing wrong with it. Away from the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood, in this extremely cold ice and snow, the icy blue sky and the ice-filled sea are in a line, as if there are only two of them in this whole white and flawless world, and there can be more romance Scene?

Well, they didn't actually come here for a date. After Jay followed Carla for a while, the destination of their trip, a huge ice and snow palace, suddenly came into view. It was a castle standing between ice and snow. The shelter of the surrounding glaciers and its color very similar to ice and snow made it very difficult to notice. Its outer wall is like some kind of crystal, with a faint crystal glow in the Arctic sunlight.

The two-high round composite golden gate was erected in front of them, with a black "s" mark in the center, representing the nameplate of the owner of this building. Jay took a deep breath and whispered with the solemn respect of visiting a temple: "This... is his home?"

"Fortress of Lonely, that's what Superman called this place back then." Cara stepped forward and took out a pure gold key from his cloak pocket. "After Superman is gone, I am the only one who still has the key here. "

That's not necessarily true, maybe Gotham's old bat also has it. Jay thought to himself.

Carla inserted the key into the gap in the middle of the "s" mark, and there was a sound of mechanical parts running inside the door, followed by a beep. The "s" mark is separated from it, making a long narrow passage for the two.

They walked on the almost transparent crystal brick ground and walked in a suspended passageway. They felt like walking on a suspension bridge with an abyss that was almost impossible to see. Jay couldn't help but looked down from the bridge to both sides. There were countless glassware of different sizes floating in the space, with all kinds of things you could not imagine. Some glass covers are planted with plants that you can't find anywhere else on the earth, and some have species that have long been considered extinct by the outside world-and this is only in the category of earth biology, and some glass covers The creature behind Jay hadn't even heard of it.

It feels like walking into an interstellar zoo and botanical garden.

"Clark once defeated a cosmic collector, and most of them here are the collections of that collector." Kara introduced as he walked, "In addition, there are also various things he encountered in his adventures as a Superman Species, so it might look a bit..."

"Fantastic." Jay exclaimed, "Sorry for my lack of language skills, but I feel from the bottom of my heart that this place is like the meaning of the word itself."

Kara smiled: "That's right."

After walking through the long passage, the painting style of the next room changed abruptly, like walking from the Paleontological Zoo into a future museum from science fiction movies. I don't know which planet the alien spacecraft came from is fixed in the air by hanging filaments, its huge figure is like a sleeping behemoth. Countless glass jars are still erected in the open space, but they are no longer rare animals and plants, replaced by all kinds of high-tech instruments that you can't name. Although Jay didn't recognize any of these things, he could also see the extraordinary technological content of these things.

"Clark has encountered countless dangerous weapons in his Superman adventure, many of which can even hurt us." Kara introduced like a tour guide. "He considers dangerous items that he thinks should not be owned by any forces or individuals. It's locked here, so it looks a bit like an exhibition gallery."

"The most dangerous arsenal on earth," Jay said. "Why don't you die if any villain gets the key to the door?"

Kara shrugged: "I guess we can only guarantee that this will not happen. Fortunately, the defense mechanism of Lonely Fortress is quite strong, and it is almost indestructible from the outside, even we can't force a breakthrough."

After passing through this room, the two finally came to the main hall. The crystal dome is buckled in the circular space, and three tall golden sculptures stand in front of them. On the left and right are a man and a woman wearing weird costumes. The woman is nestled in the man's arms, and the eyes of the two are pointing to the distance together. And in the middle of them is the majestic Superman, standing in the middle of the hall with his fists behind his back, his cloak frozen in the moment of flying.

Jay asked in a low voice, "This is..."

"Behind are his parents, Joe-El. It was a sculpture that Clark built for them." Kara said, somewhat sadly, "The statue of Clark...I made it."

She shut up and Jay didn't say any more interestingly, and the two of them avoided the topic very tacitly.

Then they finally saw the goal of the trip-the Krypton spacecraft that carried Jay into this world recovered from the government.

Not long after defeating Mongo, Jay returned to the base where his spaceship was parked and picked up the ship, but didn't know how to deal with it-digging a hole in his backyard to bury it sounds a bit stupid . When he talked about it to Kara, Kara immediately said that she knew there was a very suitable place to park his spacecraft, so Jay gave her his spacecraft to her at that time.

This is naturally what Kara is referring to-the lonely fortress of Superman.

Kryptonian artificial intelligence Hijeon jumped out on its own when Jay approached the spacecraft, and said in a soft electronically synthesized voice: "Good morning, can I help you?"

Jay and Kara looked at each other, and then asked, "My name and life experience. Tell me where I came from."

"Please wait a moment." Sijin seemed to search the database, and the projected body image trembled. After a while, he said, "Sorry, sir, the data content in this part is damaged and lost and cannot be read."

"Is it still like this?" Jay sighed slightly, still feeling a little regretful.

"But my krypton database contains data and knowledge of 28 known galaxies. Do I need to check it?"

Jay shook his head: "Next time."

Ka stretched his hand and stroked his face and said, "It's okay, Jay. The past is over, you don't have to think about it. The important thing is that we still have a future, right?"

Jay squeezed her hand and smiled: "Yes, we still have a future."

He leaned over and kissed Kara's soft lips, only to feel that all his troubles disappeared.
