Chapter 72: A Changing World (2)
Maybe not at first, but the persecution of reality made Doom open the valve. And now I want to know what kind of change his ambition will bring to the world. ”
At this moment, Johnny remembered the stone man, and he said, "What about Ben? Don't forget that we're all in this together, and even though he's no longer a stone man now, he should be kept out of the dark. ”
"Oh, Ben went to captain Victor on the shuttle."
Thunderbolt felt a little incredulous when he heard the news, just like Reed, "Wait, are you sure Ben did this?" ”
"yes, he needs a new job to regain his confidence."
"Okay!" Reed knew that Ben was temporarily unemployed with him, and in fact he was not in a good financial situation right now. After all, during this time, money was spent like flowing water, but there were no projects that would allow him to get investment.
With the reappearance of this scene in the live broadcast room, this time it was not just a few witnesses as before. You know, this current affairs news program is very popular with the New York public.
So although the live broadcast was interrupted for a while, it was soon broadcast again, and this time the New Yorkers directly saw the superhumans appear around them.
Exaggerated speed, great power, and of course, the cool abilities of Johnny Thunderbolt. All this has left many ordinary people feeling a sense of insecurity from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, some of the wealthy people of New York's high society, especially those associated with the Fontaine Group's investments, were killed in their homes or in some of their private party places.
In addition to the panic, it seems that the upper class society has also been alarmed by the current change. But at this time, just like Lin Ming said, even Reed was aware of something unusual in this world.
"Logically speaking, both the White House and the military should act now, but what about them?"
Reid frowned, "I just called a good friend of mine at the Pentagon, but it's weird, it's okay to talk, but when I mentioned what's happened in New York, they didn't respond. It's like a very common thing. ”
Lin Ming frowned, "It means that they can be contacted, but the other party seems to be blind to this matter." ”
"Yes, it's weird. I'm almost completely convinced of your conclusions by now. ”
At this time, Susan came back from outside, "Now I have to put on makeup when I go out, but strange things, I clearly remember driving back to my hometown." I also chatted with a friend of mine and went around town. But when I came back, I couldn't remember the details at all. ”
Lin Ming pondered, this situation is actually a little different from the Titanic world. In the world of Titanic, the world outside the scope of the camera is almost completely non-existent, and it is impossible to contact and communicate with each other.
But the world of the Fantastic Four is different, as if it is blocked by some kind of force. Since Susan can remember that she returned to her hometown, although she can't remember the details, it doesn't mean that she doesn't exist. And Reed could also call his friends at the Pentagon.
But the similarity is that none of the worlds shown outside the camera can interfere with the plot. If they could intervene, the military should already be visible on the streets of New York by now, and the White House would certainly be concerned about the matter.
"Well, what should we do now. Doom: He's starting to go crazy. ”
Lin Ming followed the news media's reports on the sudden death of the wealthy New Yorkers, and he knew that it must have been Doom's doing. Reed didn't seem too angry, though, but he felt that Doom was a little out of control now.
"Is it really out of control?" Lin Ming felt that he needed to wait a little longer.
At this time, Doom was rejoicing in the power he had in his hands, and of course the company's financial problems had not yet been resolved. But he didn't really care about that anymore.
Of course, at first Dom was ready to return to Latvia and start his career with the help of his influence in his homeland. After all, what he is doing now will anger the US government.
But it seems that except for the New York police who sent someone to investigate, the White House and the US military seem to be blind at all, and they completely ignore it. This made Doom's ambitions even bigger.
Returning to that poor and backward small country in Eastern Europe made Doom feel like a lost dog. But if he can use it to gain a foothold in New York's high society once and for all.
It's just that at this time, the whispering voice from the shadows behind Doom made him feel an indescribable tyrannical emotion in his heart.
"Damn, is there something else I haven't thought of? My competitors, my competitors, those who tried to short my company, they were all eliminated by me. Now I can start my brand new business again. So what am I missing? What other power can stop me! ”
However, it was then that Reed's name came to Doom's mind. Yes, this genius scientist who has always been better than him in his studies in college, and the existence of him and his companions is a thorn in his heart.
There is also the mysterious Chinese Lin Ming, which makes Doom suddenly feel as if he has bigger trouble to face. However, at this moment, his newly hired assistant came running in a panic and said loudly, "Mr. Fang Du, the test subjects have gone on a rampage, they smashed open the protective door, killed the researchers, and fled. ”
"What, you said something happened!"
Doom grabbed the assistant directly in the air and scolded angrily, "What the hell is going on." ”
"Just now, one of the test subjects suddenly increased in strength, and then after the explosion, it smashed the surrounding equipment, which directly caused the other test subjects who were still in the confinement to wake up."
"Which guy the hell?"
"It looks like it was sent a few days ago."
Doom remembered that it was Ben whom he had invited to be the new captain of his shuttle. However, Doom didn't actually tell Ben that he needed to participate in one of the company's experiments, and Ben didn't actually expect some kind of change in his body.
Under various coincidences, Ben suddenly awakened his superpowers, and under the experiments of the Fang Du Group, his strength has completely approached that of the stone man. This led to Ben's sudden outburst that the entire lab did not expect. The restrictive measures against him are completely useless.
Looking at the surveillance footage of the lab, Ben roared, "Victor! ”
This made Doom can't help but feel a little chill down his spine, he actually didn't really want to face this monster, "Is there something wrong with the experimental data?" Or did I accidentally activate his power that was already gone? ”
In fact, according to the drawings provided by Reed, the instrument that can simulate cosmic radiation has been made. But Doom has not yet made up his mind to reinvent himself.
After all, it doesn't have to be a stone man, but what if. Doom still cares a lot about his face. And he also arranged an exclusive interview, just to get the Fangdu Group back in front of the public. Regain confidence for new investors.
Doom also contacted several arms dealers, but for some reason none of them gave a definite response. This made Doom feel that his company's super soldier program needed to be put on hold for a while.
However, it is still possible to use the future of mankind and the elimination of diseases as a gimmick to promote the company's new products. Therefore, Doom did not want to reinvent himself before the company's operations were put into form.
What's more, he has always been a businessman, and he doesn't think of himself as a warrior who needs to charge into battle or something. Therefore, he is not in the pursuit of more powerful power now, especially when this ability is still very practical.
At this time, Ben had already broken through the protection of the underground laboratory, and he came to the street. The fresh, cold air calmed his mind a little. Ben looked at the skin-like combat uniform on his body and wanted to tear it off. But the strange thing is that there is a sense of intimacy like symbiosis, and even this combat suit seems to help him.
So Ben didn't take it off, but looked at the Du Group Building not far away, and his heart became fierce, "Victor, I will never let you go!" ”
The subjects behind him seemed to see Ben as their leader, so Ben went there, and the subjects followed. Ben didn't plan to take these guys with him, but Ben now expected that the security forces around Doom were definitely not weak, and taking these guys could help him.
But the explosion in the underground laboratory just now has already triggered the alarm measures. Already police from the nearby NYPD were already rushing in. And they just happened to find Ben.
Ben's heart was very emotional at this time, and he didn't feel the slightest threat in the face of these pistols raised by the New York police. He rushed over, and with a bang, a police car was directly knocked out more than ten meters away.
This stunned the policemen who were still hiding in the surrounding bunkers. Ben's actions seemed to send a signal that caused the subjects behind him to scream in excitement.
The subjects also flew police cars, and even knocked out police officers who tried to subdue them. The rest of the police have begun to call the NYPD in hopes of getting support from the SWAT force.
But the modified monsters were too violent, and the skin-like tight-fitting suits on their bodies were cushioned and bulletproof.
This made the police, who had already opened fire, realize that the firearms in their hands were useless. Ben had already broken through the encirclement of the police and rushed towards the Fangdu Group Building.
Now there is only one thought in my heart, which is to find trouble with Victor.
