Chapter 63 Ambush the Kryptonians
Gotham, an abandoned steel mill.
This place was once a bustling industrial center, but it has been abandoned since the last century. The industrial ruins remain in this deserted corner, and a cold wind blows slowly through the steel ruins. Cobwebs hang from the metal beams, and the peeling paint on the walls is covered with mottled water stains and moss.
Gotham's intricate network of streets and alleys is dotted with countless abandoned factories and warehouses like these, places that often attract strange gangsters, superhumans, and aliens.
For example, at this moment, a woman in black is flying down from the roof, passing through the cracked roof and landing in this abandoned building.
The room was empty and silent, with abandoned shipping containers piled haphazardly, like evidence of time's abandonment. Faint moonlight streamed through the broken glass, illuminating the shattered wooden crates and tattered paper scattered on the floor. The air was thick with the dampness and decay of the place.
After landing, the woman walked straight towards a heavy iron door covering the ground. The building above was merely a decoy; her true hiding place was in the basement of this abandoned factory. There, her spaceship, her vehicle to Earth and temporary base, was parked.
The heavy, massive door creaked open easily in her hands, revealing a moss-covered stone staircase that stretched deep underground.
The woman was about to step down the stairs when she suddenly frowned and stopped.
It was right at her feet, not far down.
A transparent tripwire.
trap?
The woman almost burst out laughing.
She immediately realized that her hiding place had been exposed, but she wasn't flustered at all. In fact, she hadn't put much effort into concealing her whereabouts, for the simple reason that there was no need.
She is a Kryptonian.
Having been exposed to the radiation of the yellow sun, she is practically invincible. Possessing a body more powerful than a spaceship, she is a walking interstellar weapon. Why should she be timid on such a primitive planet?
She completely disregarded this primitive trap and began searching for the enemy's location, looking around.
The Kryptonian's pupils contracted, his eyes subtly adjusted, and a faint blue light flickered within them.
Darkness and walls could not block the Kryptonian's eyes. She was certain that the ambush was nearby, and no one could escape her sight now.
then
Then she went blind.
Completely unexpected, a blinding flash of light exploded throughout the factory almost the instant she activated her super vision. The incandescent light was like a small sun exploding in a confined space, momentarily blinding her.
In that split second, she figured out the other party's scheme.
The other party never expected the primitive trap to work; it was just a feint to lure her in, with the sole purpose of activating her super vision.
Realizing that someone is lying in ambush nearby, activating super vision to scan the surroundings would undoubtedly be the first reaction.
What a despicable enemy!
This was also the result of Shen You's earlier tests. The Kryptonian-exclusive flashbang would have an extra super-amplified effect on Kryptonians who were using their super vision, and it would still be a critical hit on Kryptonians whose super senses were not yet proficient enough.

The moment vision is impaired, a living organism instinctively panics. At the same time, realizing that it is still within the enemy's sight, it will undoubtedly immediately use its second most relied-upon sense to search for and locate the enemy's whereabouts.
Super hearing.
At this moment, her body would instinctively activate her super hearing, capturing even the slightest sound of a speck of dust falling.
Unlike Superman, who spent most of his life learning to listen to what he should and shouldn't hear, most Kryptonians in the early stages of their superpower awakening can only do simple on/off switching, or at most adjust the range and distance, and find it difficult to filter out unnecessary sounds by instinct.
So when a woman opens her hearing and listens intently, she only hears...
A deafening roar.
It was a pain unimaginable to ordinary people without extraordinary hearing, a pain as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart, spreading densely across her eardrums. The intense pain almost caused her brain to shut down instantly, and a dull buzzing echoed in her ears.
Sonic cannon.
It's still just simple psychology.
Having suffered repeated heavy blows, yet failing to even catch a glimpse of the enemy, the woman, enraged, roared, "Shameless scoundrel, do you dare face me?!"
They struck a pose that seemed to say, "Come at me head-on."
Then she got smeared all over her face.
Specium's azure light swept through the dark space, striking the Kryptonian who was about to hurl insults at his family in the face, dealing a direct headshot.
The red and silver mech stood silently in the dark corner, its arms crossed, energy surging forth.
But the woman actually withstood it!
Her head was ripped open by the impact of Specium, and blood flowed freely, but she quickly regained her footing and caught the light with both hands.
With a classic Superman pose of going against the current, she used her body to block the light output, stepping forward step by step, until her hands were burned red and she endured the pain of being scalded, yet she still forged ahead relentlessly.
Finally, she arrived before the mobile armor, like a ship sailing upstream. With a shout, she charged forward, her fingers flashing in the light, fiercely grabbing at the red and silver armor.
Bang!
A powerful hook punch suddenly came from the darkness on the side. The punch landed squarely on her cheek, causing her face to cave in, and a transparent shockwave erupted from her cheek. The woman in black was shot diagonally downwards into the ground along the direction of the punch, causing the ground to crack open with a loud bang, and the entire factory building seemed about to collapse.
Shen You, in his Ultraman form, maintained his punching stance and remained life-size, standing to the side of the mobile armor.
He was never inside the armor in the first place.
Facing genuine Kryptonians for the first time, while testing the weapons, Shen You decided to play it safe and personally transform into one of them, though without growing to gigantic size.
Meanwhile, the mobile armor is still in Pal's custody, serving as decoy.
If she loses both hearing and sight, then when attacked by Specium, the opponent will most likely not dodge, but will rush towards her through the light—because this is the only way she can still pinpoint the enemy's location.
In this way, she will "voluntarily" take all of Specium's continuous damage, and will also walk up to Shen You's already ready-to-go punch to take the second hit.
Shen You threw a punch without stopping, then raised his right palm, energy gathering in his palm and transforming into a halo of light along with surging lightning.
Eight-point pursuit with light wheel!
