This is not the first time Mason and his team have entered a different world.

But this time, the world they traveled to was still different, probably because a violent demon had been brought in by Shacong before them, causing everyone to smell the unpleasant smell of sulfur when passing through the door.

And when they set foot on the ground again, they saw a burning building. Obviously, the violent and powerful upper-level demon was venting his anger in this way.

However, the K team soon noticed the scenery outside the burning building.

They were in a whole city.

Perhaps it was once prosperous, but now it was a desolate post-war ruin. Even in the burning streets, they could see the pitted streets and the corroded abandoned vehicles left behind after the bombing.

"Another world of death. I seriously doubt that all the worlds under the control of the Stars are like this!"

The Lady Cat, who was beside Mason, wearing an invisibility cloak, held a telescope and looked around. She quickly spotted some "familiar figures" wandering in the shadows of the city.

Selena put down the telescope and said, "Zombies, zombies everywhere. Mason, I doubt if there are any living people in this city."

"There are."

Barbara, who was playing with a signal transmission device similar to a signal transmitter, adjusted the communication frequency while saying, "Although the communication drones have not been deployed yet, I have already captured more than one signal source. There is still a communication system here, so there must be people alive."

"Charles, fly up and track Shacong's location for reconnaissance. By the way, release the communication drones to help Barbara establish the network."

Mason, wearing a gray combat suit, gave the order. Kite Man nodded as he looked at the miserable and creepy city in front of him and quickly ascended into the air with the propulsion of his flying backpack.

Equipped with a brand new flight control chip, his bionic active wings became more handy, and he no longer needed to follow the wind to increase his reconnaissance range and speed by more than double.

The Pirate Trio held tactical telescopes and kept scanning left and right.

They were not unfamiliar with zombies, but this was the first time they had seen such a post-apocalyptic cityscape.

As for the most professional Two-Barrel, he didn't need Mason's command at all. He had already found a nearby vantage point and climbed up to set up the "Cat Again" sniper rifle to defend the surroundings.

The location where the Gate of the World opened was on an abandoned rooftop in the city, which provided a good height for the K team to overlook the entire city. As Kite Man continued to release communication drones dedicated to maintaining communication, one by one, the connected nodes allowed Barbara to quickly gain the ability to monitor the entire city.

Thanks to the black technology of the Master's Bat Network, the K team gained super vision and instantly dispelled the "fog of war" less than ten minutes after entering the city.

"Boss, the burning traces have disappeared in the city center."

Kite Man quickly reported through the communication network, "The trace of that demon has also disappeared. I am searching for John's figure, but there is no sign of a battle there except for the burned zombies. It is estimated that Shacong is safe, but we have also lost track of Jason Brad."

"Never mind him."

Mason responded, "Without the Gate of the World, he can't go back. The initiative is now in our hands. Unless he is willing to stay here for the rest of his life, he can only show up and talk to us actively. Just be patient. After receiving John, come back and meet us. Charles, Barbara will send John's location signal to you. Don't stay in the air for too long. This is not just a world of death. Our peers may also be monitoring the city."

"Boss, I saw a small city resembling a shelter on the coast outside the city. There is a very tall golden tower standing there. It seems to be some kind of special device."

Kite Man raised his altitude to improve his vision and reported what he saw to Mason, saying, "I saw vehicles and figures over there. If there are still living people here, they must have moved there. Should I release surveillance drones?"

"Release them, but let Barbara control them remotely. Don't get too close, Charles."

Mason was about to discuss the next plan with his team members. However, as soon as he finished communicating with Kite Man, a violent tremor came from under his feet.

Caught off guard, Mason almost fell.

Angelina, the female pirate who was standing on the edge of the rooftop observing the surroundings, fell down with a scream as the building shook.

"Whoosh!"

The Lady Cat quickly shot out her claw gun and caught the leg of the female pirate, and together with Jack and Elizabeth, they pulled her up. The others stayed in place for nearly half a minute before feeling the violent tremor under their feet subside.

"Is this an earthquake?"

Mason looked at Barbara beside him in surprise. Barbara shook her head and said, "It looks like an earthquake, but look at the surrounding buildings, Mason. They are intact without cracks or damage. Even the roads are intact. The destructive power of a normal earthquake should not be so small."

"Boss! That golden tower just moved."

The Kite Man quickly delivered a message:

"The earthquake happened almost simultaneously. It should be caused by the tower, possibly some kind of device or weapon... Wait, I saw John."

"I'll go pick him up. Wait here."

"This world is a bit strange."

Mason and his team exchanged glances. He thought for a moment and said to Barbara:

"Do you have a device that can measure geological data?"

"I'm not a magical blue cat that can see in the dark. How could I have something like that?"

Batgirl sarcastically commented, having seen all the messy things before.

"But I do feel that movements here are lighter..."

"It's not an illusion!"

Ert, carrying the Cat Sniper Rifle, walked over while bouncing in place. He took out his red tactical helmet and put it on, saying in a muffled voice:

"The gravity here is indeed 'weaker' than on our side, but this is not normal no matter how you look at it. Mason, don't you plan to contact our colleagues? Or should we just wait here?"

"You don't even think about what we're here for. It's not easy to find an opportunity to directly approach them. This is their territory, and we can't just throw ourselves into death."

The young man sneered:

"He has reserve members here. Let's figure out the situation first before contacting our colleagues. But I don't think they have put too much effort into this abandoned city. Otherwise, they would have noticed when the Demon Knight broke in earlier. Maybe it's due to a lack of manpower? Barbara, didn't you say there's a signal source nearby? Can you track down the specific location?"

"I'm locating it. It will take some time."

Batgirl continuously gave instructions on the mini-computer on her arm to adjust the positions of the communication drones scattered throughout the city. Soon, the Kite Man returned with Scarecrow to the rendezvous point.

After K Squad moved inside the building, they heard Constantine loudly complaining:

"That damn Brad must have received help from some spellcasters in advance. Ert and Regan's loss of control didn't even last for five minutes before they were suppressed back into their bodies. That guy probably hates me now. I'm sure he's hiding in the dark, spying on us. Maybe he'll come out and crush us one by one in the next second."

"Isn't that better?"

Ert said coldly:

"Lead that dangerous Demon Knight to the sandstorm. The best outcome would be both sides perishing, so we'll have two fewer troubles."

Everyone nodded in agreement with this statement, including Mason and Barbara. Then, their gazes once again fell on Constantine, who was smoking a cigarette.

Scarecrow's face instantly turned ugly.

He cursed:

"You're all a bunch of bastards! You don't do anything useful! You only use me when you find me useful, right? Are you all British? Why are you so mean!"

"No, this is indeed an opportunity."

Catwoman, playing with her delicate new gun, shook her head:

"We were just worrying about how to make contact with Sandstorm. If John is half-truthfully chased by the Demon Knight to Mr. Sandstorm's base, everything will fall into place. We can say that it was because K Squad released him without authorization that we were discovered and pursued by the Justice League. In a panic, we ran to this world to request support. This way, suspicions will be cleared, and we can still hold the moral high ground. I suggest we split up!"

Selina couldn't contain her inspiration. She waved two fingers and said to the others:

"One team will follow Mason to explore the city and gather information, while the other team will go with John to find 'reinforcements.' If our colleague is willing to fulfill his promise to Mason and take care of us newcomers like an older brother, then we can leave the Demon Knight to him. If he has any ill intentions and plans to take revenge, at least we won't lose everyone at once."

"Hey! That's enough! You might as well write 'cannon fodder' on my face."

Constantine was very unhappy and blew out a smoke ring. He spread his hands and said helplessly:

"Whoever wants to do this job can go! I'm not going. You all saw the destructive power of Ert and Regan. If that guy slashes me with his sword, I'll be done for!"

"Cough, cough."

Captain Jack, dressed in a custom gray pirate bat suit, coughed twice at this moment. He held his semi-covered helmet and stroked his stylish little beard as he said to the others:

"In this situation, we should adopt the pirates' approach. Why not draw lots under the condition of absolute fairness and leave everything to fate? That way, no one can go back on their word."

Elizabeth, dressed as a female hunter, brightened up and immediately nodded in agreement.

The three-person pirate team in K Squad were newcomers and the weakest. According to common logic, they should be the ones to do the cannon fodder job. Now that Jack proposed this, it actually increased a bit of safety.

Mason looked around, and both Ert and Catwoman nodded. Scarecrow was reluctant but didn't object.

Soon, nine pieces of paper were taken away separately.Then Captain Jack, who proposed this suggestion, cheered and held up a crumpled paper with the number "2" written on it.

It represented his escape from the fate of being a cannon fodder.

On the other side, Zha Kang had a sorrowful expression on his face, clearly indicating that this guy who had done too many bad things in the first half of his life had drawn the short straw.

"This is unfair! I suggest starting over!"

Lady Cat, who had bad luck today, also started to act like a spoiled child. But when she saw her good friend Lady Elizabeth also drew the number 1 team, she stopped complaining.

In the end, Mason, Barbara, Er Tong, and Captain Jack entered the city to investigate the situation, while the rest of the people attracted the attention of the Demon Knight and went to meet Mr. Sandstorm.

"John, take care of them."

Mason took out the golden cup of Hodge Pachi and extracted the epic-quality Fuling elixir that had been brewed for several days. He poured it into six crystal bottles and generously gave four of them to Zha Kang.

He reminded him, "This thing can enhance your luck and lasts for twelve hours. When necessary, take it out and use it as a trade item to prove the sincerity of Team K to Mr. Sandstorm. Whether he helps us or not, do not provoke him and patiently wait for the operation to begin. Let's work together from the inside and outside!"

Constantine frowned and put away the potion, while Barbara discreetly attached a hidden button communicator to Zha Kang's shirt.

She said, "The technological level of this world is similar to ours. The communicator that Judy gave me should be able to pass the detection, but when contacting us, make sure to disguise it..."

"Boom!"

Just as she finished speaking, another earthquake-like tremor made everyone unstable. However, with the previous experience, no one panicked. After patiently waiting for nearly thirty seconds, the strange earthquake subsided again.

"Let's go."

Mason furrowed his brows and handed the phone that Mr. Sandstorm had given him before leaving Gotham to Zha Kang. He also distributed the best healing medicine he could make to Kite Man and the two pirate ladies.

Finally, Mason took out an exquisite "model" from his pocket and handed it to Lady Cat.

Selina looked down and found that it was a proportionally reduced Batmobile, exactly the same as Mason's dark gray Batmobile.

"It was just completed last night. When you use it, throw it out and silently recite your name," Mason whispered. Lady Cat blinked her eyes and said, "Is my name the magic spell to activate it? Can I give this as a gift to Big Sister as Little Mason?"

"This is the common property of Team K."

The captain shrugged and said, "But you are the best at driving it, so consider it yours."

Amidst Lady Cat's laughter, the two teams separated here and headed in two different directions.

"Mason, I found the signal source closest to us. It's underground, about fifteen blocks away, seems to be a shelter."

Barbara quickly brought good news, while at the same time, a violent explosion sounded several blocks away from them. Along with it were the roars of high-level demons and the low engine roar of the Batmobile when it was overloaded.

Constantine had already started to act.

Mason didn't waste any time either. The four of them quickly headed towards the signal source that Barbara had discovered.

At the same time, in a room in the shelter city that Kite Man had previously discovered in a small coastal town outside the abandoned city, Mr. Sandstorm, who had just completed today's training, was preparing to relax in the underground entertainment venue when his phone suddenly lit up.

He frowned at the special number on it.

The scarred face, which had been scarred by the pursuit of the Justice League, showed a mocking smile. He picked up the phone and put it to his ear, saying, "Yo, isn't this the Three-Headed Dog? Why do you have time to wander around in my world?"

"Damn it, Sandstorm of CND!"

Zha Kang's furious cursing came from the other end of the phone. He shouted, "It's all because of you, you bastard, that we were targeted by the Justice League! They released demons to hunt us down. Damn it! Are you blind? Come and save us! Otherwise, wait for us to complain to Mr. Hunter! You bastard!"

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded in the background as the backdrop to this panicked plea for help.

This sudden situation made Mr. Sandstorm stunned in place, but he quickly dissipated and turned into sand, appearing on the rooftop of the building where he was, looking towards the distant abandoned city.

A group of flaming meteors fell from the sky and fiercely crashed into the already lifeless city, causing fireworks to burst into the sky.

It seems that Team K is not joking.

Did they really attract the attention of the troublesome Justice League by helping him?

Haha, what a good thing!

Mr. Sandstorm, who was filled with anger towards Mason because of his extortion before, almost burst out laughing at this moment. But he didn't completely sever the connection. Those who could reach the level of a Level 1 personnel might be idiots, but when it comes to hypocrisy, everyone has been tested.

He admired the burning city for a moment and then said to the phone,"Drive out of the city, you unlucky idiots. I will send someone to pick you up. By the way, where is my friend Mason? I really have a lot to say to this outstanding young man."

"Mason was beaten to death! Useless Captain deserves to be beaten to death!"

Shakang, playing his true colors, shouted loudly:

"We got separated from him, damn it! That waste led us into this desperate situation. I heard your team is in need of people? Let's make a deal.

Can we switch over to your side now?"
