Chapter Ninety-Nine: Exposed
The New York branch of Lex Enterprise, known as the "Z Zone", is said to contain a lot of top-secret research that only the owner of Lex Luthor knows, and if you know about Lex Luthor through the comics, it is not difficult to guess how strange it may be. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unlike Stark, Lex Luthor is much more low-key. Although he has a lot of advanced technologies that can change the world, they are all well hidden from the outside world.
Among them, there may be the secret of the development of the armor of the sub-demon Zhuo, codenamed "Alpha".
Eric found the door to the lab with the word "Alpha" on it, and after typing in the password that Dr. Ivo had told him, the electronic door literally slid open with a ding. At least that proves that Dr. Ivo wasn't lying when it came to passwords.
This is a long-abandoned laboratory, divided into two floors. The moment you enter the door, a musty smell that seems to have not been breathed through for ten years hits your face, the crumbling chandelier is covered with dusty cobwebs, and the dust flying in the air is visible to the naked eye, and it looks like even the cleaners haven't been here for many years. Some of the unnamed advanced instruments and equipment have been sleeping for an unknown amount of time, and the workbench is already crawling with red rust.
The staircase leading to the lower level originally seemed to be locked, but now the electronic locks seem to have been abandoned, and the automatic doors are ajar, as if stuck in the cracks of the door. Eric slipped into the half-open crack and entered the floor below.
The space on the next floor is much smaller, and the main body seems to be a cage like a square box. The cage has three layers of thickened tempered glass wrapped in a layer of super-heavy alloy shell, and countless thick air ducts are connected to this square box, as if some ferocious beast was once imprisoned. And whatever was once inside was now empty, leaving only a huge hole that had been blasted through and a shocking crack in the tempered glass.
Eric tried to activate the computer on the main bench, and after a dull roar, the old computer was actually successfully activated. There was a laborious low pant like a wind candle old man coming from the main machine, and it took more than three minutes for the dark screen to light up.
But there's not much left in this old old guy. The first thing that caught his attention was a folder called "Alpha Drawings", and when he clicked on it, there was a file called "Alpha Armor Design Drawings", but it was said that it was severely damaged and inaccessible. The other folder requires a password to unlock it.
Eric frowned and thought for a moment, then typed in the code that Dr. Ivo had told him to use to enter the door.
"Wrong password."
He thought about it for a moment and typed in the codename "Alpha" again.
"Wrong password."
He tried to type "Lex" and "AIM" respectively, but he still got the cold string of "password error" prompts.
He was a little impatient, there would be no result if he tried it like this, the password could be any string, and the probability of such a blind person trying it out was really ......
His mind suddenly moved, and he entered his birthday. The moment he typed in the last number, the folder opened, and a string of numbered videos popped up.
What does this mean? Maybe Dr. Charlotte still remembers that he had such a son?
With mixed feelings, the video was turned on, and Dr. Charlotte's face immediately appeared on the screen.
"Experiment Log B-2-3, recorded by Padraic Charlotte. Nick Fury wanted us to build a super soldier and we could offer him something better, but when he heard about the risks, he backed away like a coward. But we won't, we've left his club, we've found new collaborators, new directions, and we're going to change the world – just today. ”
“......”
On the same floor, in the data management terminal room at the other end.
Mark is usually a sloppy and casual guard, and according to the duty plan, he should have patrolled this circle in another five minutes, but he was in a hurry to finish this circle and go back to sit down and watch the show, so he took it upon himself to advance.
Pushing the door open and entering the terminal room, a dazzling pillar of light was projected through the flashlight to dispel the darkness.
And as he should have seen - there was no one inside.
Mark simply wandered around inside, and when he turned back to leave, he suddenly paused, turned around, and made fun of the flashlight towards the corner of the ceiling.
At this glance, he almost didn't scream.
The black figure resembles an entrenched eagle, its limbs stretched out against a corner of the ceiling. The moment Mark's flashlight turned, the black shadow seemed to suddenly turn into an eagle foraging for food, and pounced on Mark, his movements were so sharp and swift that he didn't even have a chance to scream.
After subduing the security guard who had strayed in, Nightwing breathed a sigh of relief, "I was almost killed by you." ”
The oracle on the other side of the headset pouted dissatisfiedly: "Then what's the way, the plan can't catch up with the change." Didn't Bruce say that planning is foolproof, that's why he always teaches you to improvise......"
At this point, her voice changed suddenly, and suddenly it became urgent.
"Wait...... What's going on!? She suddenly cried out.
Nightwing frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't know!" The oracle shouted, "But you need to get out of there quickly!" The system suddenly failed, and all the monitoring equipment was out of control in an instant! ”
"What do you mean?" Nightwing was stunned.
"That means you've all been exposed!"
At the same time as he spoke, a guard in the monitoring room who was lazily eating a pizza for supper inadvertently glanced at the surveillance screen in the terminal room, and was surprised to find the night wing standing in the center and Mark who was put aside by him unconscious, and hurriedly put down the pizza and lifted the microphone.
Nightwing hurriedly connected to Eric, "Hey, Eric, do you hear that?" Unexpected circumstances, we are exposed! 'Zone Z' is about to be locked down, you need to get out of here! ”
"You go first." Eric's calm voice came from the other side, "I'm ...... for the time being. I can't walk yet. ”
"What?"
Nightwing wanted to ask again, but he didn't have the kung fu anymore. The door to the terminal room was kicked open, and a group of guards rushed in, raising their guns at Nightwing without saying a word, shouting in confusion.
Nightwing raised his hand and a flashbang fell, and under the cover of the blinding white light, his body rushed into the ventilation duct on the ceiling.
And at the moment, in the laboratory of "Zone Z".
“...... Experiment Log D-8-2, recorded by Padraic Charlotte. Our research is nearing completion, and the four superpowers have been successfully stored in a digital format that can be used by the wearer at any time, but that's not our ultimate goal......"
Eric listened intently to his father's journal notes, unaware that another figure had entered the laboratory, approaching him with cold, crisp steps.
