Chapter Seventy-Three: Amplified Desires
The recruit was probably frightened by the brutal fighting with the mutants on the streets, so like a wounded frightened bird, the slightest disturbance would make him react greatly.
Just now, because he was so excited and frightened, he shot without seeing the situation in front of him clearly, and at this time he looked flushed and his expression was extremely guilty, obviously knowing that he had almost made a big mistake.
"What's your name? Soldier. ”
Nathaniel...... Nathaniel? Ex, Mr...... Sorry ......"
"Don't let fear take over you, soldier."
Although Li Jie's expression could not be seen, his voice, which seemed to contain strange magical powers, had a certain calming effect, which instantly calmed down the young soldier Nathaniel and nodded with some gratitude.
"Lieutenant, let's search all the way up from the bottom so that we don't miss out, what do you think?"
Li Jie almost had a clear sense of the distribution of mutants inside the building, and of course he was not as nervous as the soldiers. But it was impossible for him to let these guards see that the formal search still had to be done, so in the eyes of the guards soldiers, this young scientist with a bit of mystery, like a heroic and fearless superhero, completely ignoring the chaotic scene around him, seemed extremely calm and calm, and it was even more relaxed than a walk in the garden.
His every move seemed extremely natural, and it also made the soldiers seem to be infected and gradually calm down.
"Okay, Mr. Lee. I had people wreck the elevator. ”
Young heroic Lieutenant Brandon? Pard nodded when he heard this, and was about to give orders to his subordinates to act, but was stopped by Li Jie.
"No need. I have reminded the Leon commander to block the exit to the building. These superpowers are extremely destructive. If they want to break through the floor. It can be done without going through the elevator. That's right...... Call me Bruce. ”
"Okay...... Bruce, you're also a superpower, aren't you? ”
In the process of marching on alert, Brandon couldn't help but ask softly after all.
"Sort of, I don't really like the term superhuman, it would be more accurate to call it a new human or a genetically modified person."
Li Jie did not look back, still walking smoothly at the forefront, stepping on the steps of the safe passage building.
"What about us? Is there a chance that we will be modified by artificial genomes? ”
Brandon then asked, seemingly eagerly.
"Lieutenant. You don't seem too worried about the potential adverse effects of genetic modification? You know, many people feel that there will be bad consequences and are afraid to accept the transformation. ”
Li Jie said lightly without revealing his face.
"You, the big guy, have personally undergone the transformation, why should I be afraid! And...... I don't want to face these damn bastards anymore and just watch my comrades die! ”
A cold word squeezed out of Lieutenant Brandon's clenched teeth, obviously with intense pain in his skin.
"There will be a chance. Now concentrate on the search at hand. ”
Li Jie raised his hand slightly, signaling the soldiers behind him to wait, and then entered the second floor alone, walking straight in the direction of his perception.
Clear footsteps echoed through the silent corridor, and it didn't look unusual. However, the corners of the mouth covered by the visor rose slightly.
A loud bang came from behind itself, and the originally neat and smooth wall instantly cracked. Countless rubbles flew and scattered, and in the midst of the dust, a swift black shadow swooped towards him, and at the same time, a few low exclamations and cries could be faintly heard behind him.
The mutant was obviously attracted by his loud footsteps, and lurked silently until he approached, only to burst out, sneering through the walls and trying to sneak attack, but he was greeted by a cold and silent pitch-black visor, and ...... It's unimaginably fast!
The tightly pressed finger knife was like a poisonous snake, skilfully circumventing the inner ring of the mutant's arm, hitting him precisely in the throat, thrusting and pulling out as the Adam's apple shattered, bringing up a puddle of blood.
Immediately afterwards, a kick that could almost only be seen as an afterimage blasted his entire body into a large arched prawn, trembling and falling to his knees, the blood foam of the big tent gushing out of his throat, and although the mutant relied on his tenacious vitality to persevere, it was obvious that he was no longer as fierce as before.
Everything happened in an instant, almost like this mutant came to your door. Of course, this poor guy wouldn't know that his every move could not escape Li Jie's clear perception, and the so-called sneak attack was just a beautiful conjecture.
Li Jie gently kicked the guy on the ground, walked to the broken hole in the wall, glanced inside, and then notified the guards waiting in the corridor to come up.
When these soldiers came up with guns and saw the scene in the room, they almost all angrily raised their guns and pointed them at the wailing mutants on the ground, and they needed to use all their strength to suppress the urge to shoot all the bullets into each other's bodies!
Behind the wall was about a separate office, locked against the door on the other side, but in a space of dozens of square meters gathered five or six young women in ragged clothes and sobbing quietly, and two lying motionless in the corner, the air filled with a strong, pungent and strange smell, and at a glance it was clear what was going on.
Looking at the rags and messy clothes all over the floor, the soldiers were silent, spontaneously took off their coats, and escorted a few poor women downstairs.
"The sudden acquisition of powerful power, if there is no self-restraint or external control, it is easy for people to unconsciously move towards imbalance, hatred, resentment, greed, many kinds of evil, deformity, hidden deep inner thoughts, will swell out of control. Then, many unimaginable things often happen, such as this scene in front of you. ”
Standing beside Brandon, who was pale, Li Jie said meaningfully.
The search and round-up operation is underway, and elsewhere in the building, a different story is happening at this time.
"Ah!! Damn it! ”
A high-pitched scream echoed through the sprawling open office.
Dominica? With cruel pleasure, Fulong took his fingers out of the shoulder blade wound of the guy in front of him, bringing up a little bit of blood and a few traces of implicated residual muscle tissue.
"How does it feel? When you're enjoying in a villa in the Hamptons and booking a tennis lesson in a mansion overlooking Central Park? Have you ever thought about the feelings of the poor who are in dire straits? When others suffer and even struggle to survive because of your despicable means, while you are busy showing off your successes? Well!? ”
Dominic reached out again and re-selected an intact part of the opponent's body, because the powerful force brought by the "P" potion allowed him to easily break the resistance of the opponent's muscles, digging out a wound the depth of his thumb, from which blood slowly oozed and soaked through his clothes.
Of course, it's not because he can't do more damage, it's just that in the face of this Wall Street bastard who ruined his own family, Dominic doesn't want him to die too quickly.
Sitting in front of him is JPMorgan Chase senior trader Keys? David was already pale, his face was as white as paper, leaning weakly on the chair and trembling slightly, there were already many similar wounds on his body, and he was wheezing with difficulty.
"Please...... Don't do this...... It's just my job, I have to do it...... You can't help it, you have to eat, don't you, maybe you'll make the same decision as me......"
He whispered in fits and starts, trying to convince the crazy superhuman in front of him in the hope that he would change his mind.
"Impossible!"
Dominica? Fulong roared loudly, his expression distorted by anger and vendetta almost devouring, and his mouth spat almost close to Keith's face.
"I will never sell a garbage fund to poor people who have only a small savings!"
"Falsifying false funds! Make fake accounts! That's what you guys call a fucking job?! ”
"It's time to pay for the evil you have sown!"
His arm plunged deep into Keith again? David's wound made him howl wildly, so terrible that he almost broke through the sky, this Wall Street elite had never endured so much pain in his life, and the voice was so sharp that the other two female employees who had no time to run away and squatted in the corner and shivered couldn't help but sobbed even more, but buried their heads deep and covered their mouths desperately, for fear of angering this crazy man and becoming his next target.
In their minds, this is probably a madman with superpowers, who can do anything.
"Ho...... Ho ......" After another horrific torture, Keith shuddered incessantly, barely letting out a faint cry as he lost strength from pain and blood loss. "Don't do that...... Let's talk...... Do you want money, I can give you ......"
"Huh? Don't do this? Do you think it's a matter of money? …… Okay, you're a salesperson, right? Now tell me, give me a reason - why should I fucking let you go now? Come, convince me with your sales skills ......"
After venting, Dominic calmed down a little, slowly took a few steps back, sat down in the corner of the desk at the back, and stared at the miserable-looking trader with an almost cold look.
"Hehe......"
Keyes? David only hated that he hadn't fainted, sweat mixed with blood wet his clothes, sticking to his body and not being able to distinguish each other at all, his previously calm and chic face was completely bloodless, a few locks of messy hair were clinging to his forehead, gasping hard, he knew that he might not last long, but the strong survival ** made him still not want to give up.
"We're all realistic...... How can anyone in this world make a fortune by doing business honestly and keeping to themselves...... Are those big bosses with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars all good citizens who abide by the law? Think of the old Vanderbeets, the Carnegie, the Rockefellers, the Morgan? Annexation of territories, massacres of indigenous peoples, slave trade...... Wouldn't they do less of this kind of thing......"
"They sold arms to both sides at the same time during the Civil War, and as a result?! Their purses are getting bigger and bigger, and they have become heroes, heroes of America! (To be continued......)
