Chapter 614: Ruins
"Get out of Hell's Kitchen, you culprits!"
Hell's Kitchen, accompanied by all sorts of nasty curses.
"We must have you self-righteous guys to protect us."
A group of hippies, with leftover bottles in their hands, smashed towards the detective agency in front of them.
The glass bottles smashed against the wooden door with a screeching sound, and looking at the shards of glass scattered all over the door of the detective agency, the hippies laughed loudly, reached out and gestured defiantly at the unresponsive private detective agency, and only after a few seconds did they leave the shabby and dilapidated private detective.
Hold your head high, as if you have done something big.
With the sound of loud laughter fading away, a few minutes later.
The door to the detective agency opened, and Jessica Jones poked her head out of it.
She glanced down at the crumbs of wine bottles all over the floor, and then frowned and swept the big words 'Superheroes to Die' on the walls on both sides of the detective agency, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Unlike the Avengers, who were able to ignore Donald and even treat his tweets as a joke.
Jessica Jones, the superheroes at the bottom, are the ones who are really affected by the atmosphere.
Because of Donald's unfriendly attitude towards grotesques and superheroes, many people in Hell's Kitchen have responded to this.
During this period of time, not only Jessica Jones's private detective agency, but even Luke Cage was attacked by extremists in Harlem, although these attacks could not cause harm to the invulnerable Luke Cage, but it can also be seen that the social atmosphere in the United States has gradually transformed from the original worship of superheroes to disgust, and even extreme attacks.
This change in social atmosphere is deeply felt by the League of Defenders of Street Superheroes.
Jessica Jones is not unreasonable, even fighting violence with violence, but whenever she does it.
It only tends to make the situation worse.
Matt has already gone to the police station more than once to bail her.
Tens of thousands of families in New York have been pushed back into poverty because of the Day of Annihilation, and these people, encouraged by Donald, blame superheroes and grotesques for what happened to them, believing that it is because of these people that they are now poor.
Perhaps, one would argue that there is no causal connection between the two at all, nor is there any evidence to back it up.
But, as mentioned before, many facts do not need to be proven, and as long as they are repeated and repeated, there will always be people who will accept this view.
And the recipients of these views will become Donald's most loyal supporters.
You can think these people are stupid, however, that doesn't prevent them from having the right to vote.
After all, this is a sacred right conferred by 'democracy'.
……
In the United States, the election in full swing has erased little by little the atmosphere of sadness and fear caused by the 'day of annihilation'.
Far across the ocean, on a certain piece of territory between the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
As a member of the Five Eyes Alliance, Australia has also shown great interest in elections in the United States.
After all, as members of the Five Eyes Alliance, although on the surface the alliances cooperate with each other. But in fact, taking Canada as an example, it can be seen that the so-called Five Eyes Alliance is actually just a subsidiary organization dominated by the United States and the other four countries.
Among the Five Eyes Alliance, Australia's performance is the most prominent.
It can almost be said that he is completely desperate to work for the United States.
Because Australia knows very well that with such geographical factors, with such proximity to Asia, Australia can only rely on the power of the United States if it wants to survive.
The results of the U.S. election have attracted the attention of the entire political situation in Australia.
Meanwhile, an archaeological research team is working on archaeological excavations in Australia's Northern Territory.
Most of today's Australians are immigrants from the UK, even prisoners. However, long before the current Australians landed on this land, there were indigenous people living here and existing for tens of thousands of years, although most of these indigenous people have been extinct, but the historical relics they left behind have become the target of exploration in Australia today.
"Dr. Colaston, this is ......"
Driving through a rugged road, the archaeological team came to a deserted rocky cliff.
Australia is the flattest and driest continent in the world, with more than 20 percent of the area uninhabitable.
What the archaeological team went to was a barren cliff.
According to intelligence sources, signs of human life have been found in one of the rock caves.
"Prepare, hopefully this time it's no longer the ruins of the tribe, but a useful discovery."
As previously described, the continent was already populated with tribes before the modern European occupation of Australia.
These tribes have survived in Australia for tens of thousands of years, and naturally they have left a rich legacy of life. Most of these ruins, spread across the entire continent, are of no archaeological value.
Leading a group of members of the archaeological team, Dr. Korason stepped into the rocky cavern he had discovered.
The first thing that caught Dr. Coranson's eye was the ancient murals on the walls of the grotto, and Dr. Colaston did not show too much excitement about the murals of primitive tribes, after all, this type of discovery is almost all over most of Australia's ruins, and it is a common way for primitive people to record.
Glancing over the contents of the mural, Dr. Colaston stayed in it, drawn to the vast pattern surrounded by the many simple portraits of primitive people.
From the content of the murals, the content described is somewhat different from the murals in the previous archaeological research that only simply recorded the hunting process.
His gaze lingered for a moment on the large, rudimentary pattern in the center of the mural.
"Dr. Colaston, there's a discovery......"
Soon, however, the slightly agitated voices of the members of the archaeological team drew his attention back to him.
Following the team's exclamations, Dr. Colaston stepped over and soon came to the location of a member of the archaeological team.
"Doctor, you see, this groove is obviously not a natural trace, more like a ......"
Pointing to a sunken plot in the cave, the members of the archaeological team said excitedly.
"It's more like a purpose-made, tool-made tool."
Looking at the cavern's recess, Dr. Corason's expression perked up.
If his speculation is true, it is clear that this will be an exciting discovery for the Australian archaeological community.
"Dr. Cranson, come and take a look at this!"
However, before Dr. Colaston could confirm the condition of the groove, the voice of the archaeological team could be heard from deeper in the cavern.
Inside the cave, the archaeological team held a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the huge ancient stone gate in front of them, which was wrapped in a large number of rocks, and the expression on their faces was full of shock.
……
"Subject 32, failed."
Mexico, somewhere underground in the wilderness.
In the hidden underground base, a stout man with an indifferent appearance looked at the dead test subject in the laboratory in front of him, and made a report with an indifferent expression.
Behind the man, a large number of figures with the same appearance as him were working in an orderly manner.
If, Jin and here, he will find that these working men are just like him in appearance.
"Failed again?"
Looking at the experimental subject who died due to gene collapse in the laboratory, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a learning temperament shook his head helplessly.
The man or the doctor did not have any inner turmoil regarding the subject's death.
In any case, these people are all DU traffickers from Mexico, and they do not deserve sympathy, and capturing these people for experimentation may also help Mexico fight criminals in a sense.
On the contrary, what really cares about the doppelganger doctor is the failure rate of the experiment.
The experimental results of [Compound No. 5] are more difficult than expected.
Today, the closest thing to a successful injection experiment is that the experimenter only gains the ability to make the body glow, which serves as a backup light source for the entire base, and a large number of other experiments have not made any useful progress at all, although the lives of these drug traffickers are not worth mentioning.
However, a senseless death is meaningless for the experiment.
It is no wonder that in the introduction of the system, even the Walter International Group, which has mastered the [No. 5 Compound], has only succeeded in stopping a few hundred transcendentals, and among them, there are only a few seven people who can really take action.
Recall the system's introduction to [Compound Five], and the clone understands why the system will open this item as an item of [Silver Treasure Chest].
"Doctor, Subject 45, his body has partially mutated, and [Compound Five] has changed his body."
Inside the base, just when the doppelganger was having a headache due to the almost negligible success rate of [Compound Five], a golden-looking 'pacifist' suddenly appeared in the laboratory and reported to him.
"Well, give me the data on the test subject."
Hearing the 'Pacifist's report, the doppelganger spoke up.
After receiving the screen handed by the robot, the doppelganger clearly saw that in the picture, after the body of the No. 45 experimental subject in a laboratory was injected with [Compound 5], the body began to change, and the bones in his body were distorted, supporting the originally thin body into a strong man, and at the same time, in the body, these bones also grew out like a hedgehog.
"Why is this happening?"
Looking at the results of this experiment, the doppelganger frowned slightly.
Linked it to the glowing subject from earlier.
Why, among so many test subjects, it was the two of them who successfully completed the mutation.
What exactly do the two have in common?
With this in mind, the Doctor began to look through the data of his two subjects.
And,Soon,I found something that surprised him a little.。
"It's actually ......"
In the antique store, Li Ran sent a message from the doppelganger of [Dr. Vegapunk], and the whole person's face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
He didn't expect that it was nothing else that could make the two drug dealers survive [Compound Five], but because both of them were grotesque people created under the power of the grotesque light waves.
"Maybe it's because the power of the grotesque light wave has strengthened their bodies to a certain extent, so that they can better withstand the power of [Compound Five]'s mutation."
Through the results of the experiment, the doppelganger informed the ontology Li Ran of the results of his analysis.
In fact, in the world of "Black Robe Pickets", [Compound Five] is also an extremely dangerous item, and the successful products of the Waters International Group are often experiments carried out from infancy in the world, and there are almost no successful people who can survive the injection of [Compound Five] in adults.
Li Ran naturally did not know about this situation.
Even if he knew, it would be completely impossible for him to carry out experiments like the Walter International Group.
After all, unlike the Walter International Group, [Compound Five] for Li Ran, although it is related to a certain part of his plan, he will not let him to the point of unscrupulous means.
Fortunately, the discovery of the doppelganger this time solved this problem very well.
Especially if he has the Bill Self card in his hand.
For him, the grotesque can have as much as he wants.
……
Three days later, inside a hidden underground base in Mexico.
The doctor incarnated by [Dr. Vegapunk] looked at the grotesque person who had been injected with [Compound Five] in the laboratory and successfully mutated, and the expression on his face turned to certainty.
The results of the experiment proved that the grotesque people transformed by the power of [Bill Sever] did have a higher survival rate than ordinary people in the transformation of [Compound Five].
In the past few days, he has successfully used this method to give birth to a group of grotesque people with more powerful powers.
Although, because of the uncontrollable nature of the mutation of [Compound Five], the abilities awakened by these grotesque people are strange, most of which are useless abilities, but compared to ordinary grotesques, they who have mastered the mutation ability of [Compound Five] are obviously more powerful.
After all, the grotesque people produced by [Bill Seifer], because of the mass production, in fact, the grotesque abilities they get are not very strong.
Of course, if it is just to strengthen the grotesques, it is not worth Li Ran's effort at all, and it is the base and so many 'pacifists' to carry out experiments.
"Well, then, I'll leave it to you."
His gaze swept over the results of the test subjects in his hands, and the doppelganger paused on two of them for a moment before speaking into the empty void around him.
"Ahahahahaha, I can't wait."
As the Doppelganger's words fell, in the void, [Bill Sever] held the top hat on his head, and then appeared there.
