Chapter 513: Touching the Melon
On the outskirts, in the midst of greenery, a palatial villa stands in the middle of the jungle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
General Hardcastle, who was also a very famous general of a generation, is said to have received many dazzling decorations during his career as a general, so much so that he was later assigned to manage such a huge project as "ZA".
But this project ultimately led to the end of his career. Although he was not yet of retirement age, General Hardcastle had reluctantly left his post to live out his old age in this villa.
The hall of the villa is dark, the fire in the fireplace is the only source of light, illuminating only the sofa in front of the fire and a small part of the vicinity, and the whole villa seems to be deliberately installed with a few windows, and the lighting is very poor.
"General Hardcastle." Kara said calmly to the couch with her back to the door, "I know you're there. ā
"I expected someone to come looking for me, but I thought it would be someone on the other side."
The lamp on the table next to the couch lit up, and Hardcastle turned, holding a strangely shaped, high-tech gun in his hand, the double-hole muzzle pointed at Kara's chest.
"This is the weapon I brought with me before I left my job, a gun capable of firing krypton." "Krypton is suspended within the airborne's liquid silicon core, which maximizes its spread when it hits the target. All it takes is a bullet, an alien, and you're done. ā
"I don't want to fight you, General." Carla said calmly, "I'm just here to ask some questions. ā
"I'm sorry." The general snorted, "I don't believe you, aliens, you are always capricious. ā
At this moment, the black hand reached out from the darkness on the side of the sofa without warning, snatched the kryptonite weapon with his hand, and tore General Hardcastle from his seat and restrained him by his arm.
Undoubtedly, of course, the Winged Knights.
"Now," Roy said coldly, "shall we talk, General?" ā
A minute later.
"You already know about the 'za' project." Hardcastle sat down on the couch, as if his bones had been sucked out, "That's the reason for everything." ā
"Be detailed." Roy said, "What the hell is that project for?" ā
"Research all unknown technologies, and gather all the cutting-edge technologies that can be collected on the earth to create content that ordinary people dare not imagine." "But as soon as we got a hot girl who could set fires and went out on the streets, the higher-ups decided that I was too old to take on the big job, so I was kicked out of the army." I was told to retire early. ā
He let out a long sigh, "But the problem now is that I know too much. There are a lot of things I shouldn't know, so I think recently they're definitely going to make the decision to shut me up. ā
"Who?" Carla asked, "What do you know?" ā
"The military and big conglomerates have been working together for decades, highly secret. Research on mutants, aliens, and aliens is not allowed, but what we do is to pursue new science and technology, and to better protect our planet from aliens like you. "It's not just for the good of the country, it's also for the good of the consortium." ā
Roy asked, "Does this have anything to do with Supergirl?" ā
"It's connected to all of you." Hardcastle snorted, "You have a little club on the surface of the earth, don't you?" What is a watchtower called? They have all the information about you. But I really don't know anything about your dreams. But I can't rule out the possibility of having something to do with them, after all, I haven't been exposed to this project for a while. But what I can tell you is that the 'za' project has been terminated and now they have changed their name. ā
"What's the name?"
The general paused deliberately before saying, "'Cadmus.'" ā
After a lot of effort, Hardcastle finally sent off the two uninvited guests. After a long sigh of relief, he got up and went to the cabinet, opened the door and took out a bottle of whiskey.
At that moment, the door opened again, and a slender figure was cast onto the floor by the light outside.
"What's going on? I've told you everything I know. The general turned his head and frowned, "Super girl? ā
Looking at the slender figure in a cloak that appeared at the door, he had a sense of foreboding.
"Pretty much." The girl mischievously said, "But unfortunately, you are still wrong, General! ā
She took two steps, and the general saw that although this girl had the same appearance as Supergirl, and even a very similar uniform, her cloak and uniform were all dark black.
She smiled and asked, "How's it going, General?" Are you our friend? ā
The whiskey in Hardcastle's hand smashed to pieces on the floor with a "clang", and he hurriedly pounced on the kryptonite gun on the table to the side, only to be preempted by the hot vision of the black supergirl to bake the weapon into a paste.
"I guess," she said with a wicked grin, "that answer means 'no.'" ā
"Ahh
When Kara awoke suddenly, she found herself asleep at a table in the Winged Knight's stronghold.
"What's wrong?" Roy, who was sitting in front of the computer next to him, asked.
"Yes...... It was General Had Castle. Carla said incredulously, "he ...... He's dead. I don't know why, but I am...... Just know. ā
Roy frowned, pondering for a moment.
"Let's put this one away, let's see the guy you saw in your dream earlier." Roy turned the computer screen around, and a news message was playing on it, "Gilbert Holstrom, who has just been reported missing, is a top scientist at a biological company called Nuvo. ā
"That's him!" Carla exclaimed, "What I saw in my dream...... So he's a real person? ā
"Almost." Roy said, "But to be precise, it should be 'once', if your dream is indeed true, he should no longer exist now." ā
Carla asked, "So what do we do now?" ā
"Now we have two clues." "One is the question of the source, the news of Gilbert's disappearance is only reported by one television station, and it is said that one of the station's reporters has unearthed the exclusive information, and I want to meet this reporter and start the investigation from the intelligence source." The second one is the bio company called 'Nuvo', and my gut tells me that it has a problem as well. ā
After a pause, he continued, "So now, we need to split up. ā
"Huh?" Kara was suddenly uneasy, "I want to ...... Do I investigate on my own? ā
"Be confident, girl." Roy patted her on the shoulder, "You can do it." (To be continued.) )
