Chapter 41: Panic
Somewhere in Africa, an excavation team is working day and night to excavate something buried underground. Lex stepped out of his tent, not a day since he arrived in Africa without sweating, but compared to something as trivial as sweating, it was the things that were about to be found that mattered.
"Quinn, how long will it take to dig?"
Lex asked, calling the captain of his bodyguard. This part of Africa is not very peaceful, where everyone has a gun, which is the minimum security, although he has paid a large sum of money to the nearby police, Lex is still not at ease, so before leaving for Africa, he specially hired a pair of elite bodyguards to protect himself and the things underground.
Quinn replied, "Mr. Luther, they said it would take another ten minutes to dig up the detected object. ”
A week ago, a team searching for a mineral source in Africa discovered that a new discovery was buried beneath the ground, and it quickly became apparent that what was buried underneath the ground was not earthly, but rather a cage. Lex, who knew about the cage for the first time, immediately mobilized a large number of materials to gather in this place, and wanted to dig it out in advance before others found out.
The large excavator has been working for a week, during which one was scrapped, this one was prepared earlier, and Lex really pushed away many meetings at any cost in order to get the contents of the cage.
The noisy sound could not affect Lex's mood to find the treasure, and the captain of the excavation team said, "That's it!" Walk briskly over to it.
In the long passage, Lex came behind the diggers and squeezed through the crowd, seeing no cages, only rocks. Strange: "Captain." Why not keep digging? ”
"Mr. Luther. What you're looking for is right behind this, and I'm guessing the rock is less than five centimeters left, and a shovel can knock it down. You told us not to damage it, so we don't continue to use the excavator here, but use the shovel to dig carefully. ”
The captain held the instrument to the rock wall: "Mr. Luther, can you get out?" ”
If it weren't for the fact that Lex gave him so much money, the excavation team wouldn't care about you. I am talking about it first, and I can find the reason when the time comes.
Lex shook his head and vetoed, "No, I'm going to stay here and see for myself what this thing is." ”
The captain shook his head and directed the others to begin digging, and in a few moments, the rock wall disappeared and was replaced by a strange entrance.
Lex stepped forward to reach out and touch it, but Quinn stopped, "Mr. Luther, back off, we don't know what's behind this door?" ”
Realize that you are very likely to touch the guide zhì and something bad will happen. Lex didn't think about touching it, turned to the digging captain and said, "I'll pay you another 20 million." Dig it out for me intact, and you can't damage it a little during the period, otherwise you won't be able to get 20 million, do you know? ”
Who will have trouble with money, at most is to be careful and pay attention during the excavation process. The digging captain thought so and replied verbally: "Please rest assured, Mr. Luther, my team is famous in the world, and if you explain it to us, we will do it." ”
Lex glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything more, for himself, only this cage was the most important, to be precise, what was imprisoned inside. Lex walked in front, Quinn walked behind, and the two left one after another, and the excavation site did not stop because of this, and Lex's time limit was a week, and the excavation team was going to dig against time.
Three weeks later, the Mets are still the same as they were before. Clark was walking down the street, having moved from town and bought a suite, and nothing had happened during this time, but there were big events everywhere else.
For example, there was a riot in Arkham Asylum, and finally Bruce intervened to suppress it. However, there are follow-up reports that Gotham City is about to build a new district to lock up all the gangsters and wicked people together and prevent them from coming out.
There is nothing else, but there is some news in the Met, saying that some people do not know what is going on, and their behavior has become extremely aggressive, and the police have started an investigation, suspecting that it is a water problem, and other agencies have begun to intervene in the investigation. At the moment, all those people are being held in police stations, but the Met will not stop functioning because of these people.
About to walk to a hot dog shop, Clark wondered if he wanted to go in and buy one, but the person next to him stumbled and saw that he was about to fall, so he hurriedly went over to support him and asked with concern, "Sir, are you okay?" ”
"I ...... I...... I...... Uh!!h ”
What was the man holding on to something, swallowed three "I" in a row, let out a low roar, and grabbed Clark's neck with both hands, with great strength, if it was an ordinary person, he would have been out of breath a long time ago. Clark didn't use any force, he took the man's hands away, and slashed him in the back of the neck with a knife, and the man immediately fainted.
The other people who saw it called the police station, and the police car soon appeared, and they asked what happened as usual, and what Clark said, made them shake their heads, "It's like this again, can't you have something fresh?" ”
Clark wondered, "Officer, are you saying that this kind of incident is not unusual?" ”
An older police officer glanced at Clark a few times: "Don't you know that this kind of incident is already fifty-six, it has been published in the newspapers, and there are still four more to break through to sixty." ”
"It's really strange, how can there be so many attacks on people in the metropolis one after another, maybe I can't think of it." The officer next to the older officer shook his head.
The two officers escorted the fainted man away, and Clarke's frown did not let go, but on the contrary, the two men said that there were fifty-six incidents, indicating that it was not a coincidence, and that those people had most likely become so aggressive after drinking and eating.
If you want to contact Bruce, Clark thinks about it or forget it, this time it's Metropolis, just like Bruce said, Gotham City is his territory, and no one is allowed to interfere, Metropolis is his own territory, and of course, like Gotham City, no one is allowed to interfere.
Before they could take a few steps, several people convulsed, and then they began to attack the people next to them, and Clark stepped forward to stun a few people. Clarke, who thought it was fine, found that there were more people attacking other people, this blow was not a trivial matter, the attack seemed to spread like cancer cells inside the human body, and the changed person picked up the objects that could be picked up around him, and attacked people, a large number of attackers and children.
The driver of the vehicle on the street is the same as the person on the street, during the convulsion, the steering wheel hits, the car overturns, causing a chain reaction that a large number of vehicles overturn together, Clark changed his clothes while running, rushed to the front of the vehicle that had not yet fallen, held it down with both hands, and then ran to the second car.
Rumble!
A hundred meters away, a ball of fire rose, and several vehicles exploded together to spread to other vehicles. There's nothing Clark can do about it, no matter how fast it is, it can't be just two, and the rest is the same.
"Ahhh!!h
The sound of a roar, the attackers next to them are characterized by faintly red eyes, and they see Clark standing in the middle of the road, and rush towards Clark en masse. Clark punched back a few times, and found that the attacker was not the slightest fear, and a dense group of follow-up attackers flocked here, Rao is powerful He also had a numb scalp when he saw this scene.
What the hell is going on with these people, how do they look like zombies in the movie?
These people in front of him, Clark is sure to be no different from zombies, in fact, there are also differences, that is, these attackers do not eat meat like zombies, they just attack each other, all in all, they are extremely aggressive, and they seem to be able to defeat each other when they see anything.
Defeating one person is useless, and only by finding the origin can it be cured. Clark quickly detached himself from the ground and stood above him, and the otherwise peaceful metropolis passed by these people, firelight, fighting, and chaos.
For the first time, he felt his powerlessness, Clark was only one person, and it was impossible for several places to appear at the same time to save people.
"Help!"
Thinking that the whole city had become the same, Clark found someone calling for help when he wanted to give up, and hurriedly flew towards the place where the voice came from, this call for help dispelled the abandonment and rekindled the small hope in his heart.
The Luther Building is one of the few high-rise buildings in the metropolis, Lex's office is at the top of the building, at this moment he is standing in front of the glass, looking at the city in flames, the chaos is spreading around, the chairman of the company did not leave at the first time, but stayed here, giving the survivors a glimmer of hope.
Lex didn't want to leave at all, what he wanted was a result, Superman appeared in Metropolis, then he must have his identity among humans, and all he had to do was find Superman's human identity.
Several plans were made, and 99% of the area of the metropolis was equipped with nano monitors, which were the latest military supplies of the Luthor Enterprise, but after it was developed, Lex kept suppressing the opportunity to show it, and finally he used the nano monitor in this plan to "find Superman's identity".
The most important part of the plan is to sow panic in the metropolis, to bring out the darkest side of people's hearts, and to turn them back into primitive beasts, thanks to substances extracted from the bodies of things found in Africa.
The computer in the office is connected to a nanomonitor, which itself carries a facial ID function, and Lex has seen that 98 percent of the people are presented in front of his eyes, and the remaining two percent, Superman is hidden in it.
For those who escaped, Lex was even less worried, their identities had already been revealed, and Superman had already appeared in Dadu a few minutes ago, so they ruled him out, and they had to find him in the last two percent.
The corners of Lex's mouth curled, and he smiled and said to himself: "Superman, I will find your identity, I left you a gift in the real room, you will definitely 'like' it very much." (To be continued......)
