Chapter 318: Starry Sky Laboratory
Metropolis.
On the edge of the metropolis stands a building that is very different from everything in its surroundings, with a white shell and a semi-elliptical dome, like a high-end laboratory in a science fiction movie. The plain white surface is outlined by black lines to form a monad - "S.T.A.RLABS".
Star Labs, an internationally renowned state-of-the-art science and technology laboratory, has branches in several cities. Here, for example, is the Metropolitan Branch. The headquarters of Star Lab is located in Midtown, and it is said that it has a pretty good relationship with Midtown's local superhero Flash, and has quite a lot of cooperation experience.
Today is a day off, and even in the research room, many people have gone home to rest, and this place is unfamiliar and located in the center of the city, so there are a few people nearby.
This makes a guy with his head down and a hood approaching the place quite conspicuous.
A light drizzle in the sky washes away this bustling city with brilliant lights. The hooded, drooping man's cheap jacket was dripping with rain, and his black leather shoes were also drenched in the rain, as if they could be used as mirrors.
When he walked to the outer alloy reinforced metal door, he stretched out his two hands, grasped the doorknob tightly, and then pulled it with force, and tore the two specially reinforced metal doors off, to put it mildly. Then, as if he had shaken off a used paper towel, he casually threw out the two thickened door panels.
A lone guard on duty in the dim incandescent guardhouse. At the moment, he was concerned about a game of the Met's football team, and it wasn't until the unfriendly visitor threw away the door panel that he was willing to look away from the screen and glance outside.
"Hey!" The guard didn't see the shocking scene of the man opening the door with his bare hands, but he was still taken aback, pulled out his gun and hurriedly rushed out, and said loudly, "This gentleman, the Star Laboratory is not open to the public now, you can't come in." ”
The hooded man turned his head slightly, and the rain trickled down the brim of his hat, and the eyes in the shadows under the brim of the hat shot a terrifying look that only demons have.
He changed direction and walked slowly towards the guard.
If you slow a little, you'll die!
Unable to suppress this thought, the guard hurriedly pulled the trigger.
The chamber of the gun exploded with a loud bang, and the internal impact pushed the bullet out of the chamber, piercing the rain curtain and heading straight for the approaching man.
It was like the crisp and pleasant sound of metal striking against each other, and the bullet bounced back on the man's chest.
The hooded man's footsteps didn't even stop, and his eyes under the brim of the hat emitted a strange green light.
Star Labs, interior.
"The world is unpredictable, do you say?" A duty officer in a white lab coat casually said to his colleague as he handled the clutter at hand, "Even someone like Lex Luthor can run for president these days." ”
"I still don't think he'll make it." "Anyway, Luther has a criminal record," said his colleague. I can barely count how many times he's tried to kill Superman. ”
But opinion polls show that his approval ratings are really high. Alas, I think Superman must be complicated in his heart right now."
"Speaking of Superman," the colleague said, "no one seems to have seen Superman yesterday." In a city like Metropolitan, that's unusual. ”
"Haven't you heard? Superman is out of town. When he came to visit two days ago, he told Dr. Christine in our lab that there might be some business in Saturn's orbit, and he had to leave Earth in the next two days to deal with it."
"Boom!"
The conversation was interrupted by a loud bang that seemed to be the sky cracking, and one of the walls of the laboratory shattered to slag as if it had been hit by an anti-tank gun. The hooded man walked in slowly from between the flying wall ashes, and the rain dripped from his jacket.
"Where is it!?" The hooded man let out a deep voice and roared.
"What?" One researcher stammered, "I don't understand what you're talking about"
"My body!" The hooded man seemed to be furious, and as he took a step, he lifted a table full of various instruments to the other end of the room with one hand, "Where is it!?" ”
"I'm sorry I don't understand"
At this point, things suddenly took a turn for the better again.
On the dome of the Star Laboratory, the red figure fell like a bullet through the thick shell, falling between the two sides at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. The two officers on duty didn't even see what was happening in front of them, when they saw the madman-like man fly upside down and fall into the pile of rubble that he had just cleaned up.
When I looked closely, I saw that the person who came this time was actually a beautiful girl with a hot body. She has long blond hair, wears a blue leotard from Krypton, has an "S" mark on her chest, which is very meaningful in the metropolis, and red boots that reach her knees.
"Maybe Superman isn't in town, smart guy." The girl smiled and said, "But don't think that then you can do whatever you want in this city, and I'm here." ”
That's right, this hot girl is Kara Zo El who landed in Gotham Harbor not long ago, and now she has also decided to follow in her cousin's footsteps and join the ranks of the guardians of this planet, and has earned the title of "Super Girl".
She is very talented, and quite a few people even think that she has more potential than Superman. As a Kryptonian on Earth, there was very little on this planet that she should be afraid of.
But very unfortunately, she happened to meet one today.
The hooded man who was beaten open by her gorgeous appearance snorted and sneered, slowly stood up, twisted his head and moved his muscles, and a slight mechanical sound came from his joints.
When he turned his head, the three of them were surprised to see that half of the man's face had fallen off under the impact just now, revealing a pure metal face and pupils that glowed with a dark green light.
The super girl felt dizzy, and her calves trembled unobeyedly, as if all her strength had been drained away.
"Kryptonite." The man sneered and ripped his shirt open. A dazzling green heart was revealed, as if the boundless green light was released, dazzling.
Kryptonite, the only thing that is absolutely deadly to Kryptonians.
Kara felt the world spin, the metal man's fist zooming in and closing in in slow motion, but her limp legs didn't allow her to dodge.
She ate the punch and slammed it upside down against the wall behind her.
"I'm not interested in fighting you, little girl. I hate Superman, but I don't have a holiday with you. The man dressed in metal said coldly, "Don't get in my way, or I'll let you die a miserable death." ”
With that, he turned around, stepped into the rain, and walked away. (To be continued.) )
