As the most modern city, New York has a lot to offer.

In terms of infrastructure, sewers will inevitably have a place.

New York was one of the first cities to build sewers, with a depth of 9 to 60 meters and a total length of 10,600 kilometers, built in 1849.

The spectacular underground brick tunnels, well-developed drainage facilities, and wide and bright terrain space are unmatched by any other city.

It is precisely because of this that the New York sewers have become a frequent visitor in major movies.

Marvel is no exception.

The sewer scene that left the deepest impression must be the laboratory established by Connors as a lizard postdoc in the sewers.

Mendel Storm, after consulting with Norman Osborne and taking the cauldron on his back, used the power of Osborne to establish a secret laboratory in the sewer area directly below Osborne as a hiding place.

Although the sewer laboratory was set up in a hurry, it had all the facilities inside.

Luke Cage finds this place with the guidance of his companions.

After entering the sewer lab, everything here shocked him.

This is full of modern equipment, and the original dirty and messy environment of the sewers he saw along the way, which is visible to the naked eye, and the contrast is strong.

"Noah, what the hell is going on, how did you get involved with Osben?" He looked at the slightly gray-haired man in front of him, and there was a hint of wonder in his tone.

"I've known Storm for many years, and he recently reached out to me and asked me to work for him."

Noah Bernstein smiled and spoke, pleased with Luke's reaction.

His relationship with Luke is not close and somewhat complicated.

Although Luke's superpowers came from him, and he even saved Luke's life at critical moments, the two can only be said to use each other from beginning to end, and their friendship is shallow.

Strictly speaking, the two are actually afraid of each other, but they have to rely on each other.

"That's good."

Luke let out a sigh.

He knew what it meant to be here.

But in this existential crisis, the olive branch thrown by Osben undoubtedly gave him a chance to survive.

Outside of New York, there is Haimen Prison to arrest him.

In New York, he offended the underground overlord Jin He.

Luke didn't really have a choice.

"You must be Luke."

The two old acquaintances were talking about this, when a deep voice suddenly came from behind Noah.

Mendel Storm in a white coat appears.

Luke had learned about Storm before he arrived.

Not long ago, Mendel Storm was in the news, and Mendel Storm was also a man of the hour.

He used to be an executive of Osborne, but because he used illegal means to recruit homeless people as human experiment volunteers, he was ruthlessly dismissed and reported by Norman Osborne, the chairman of Oscom, and finally became a fugitive criminal.

In fact, if Storm commits a crime, if he is carefully operated, Storm will not be able to squat for long, and it may even be possible that he can be released on bail without squatting in prison for a day.

Osben has decided to pay a hefty fine and will not skimp on paying Storm's bail in secret.

But Storm still chose to hide.

This shows that he is not willing to sink and has a new goal.

"Nice to meet you."

Storm's gaze wanders over Luke, and the information provided by Noah makes him interested in Luke.

If Luke is really the most successful person in the human modification experiment as Noah said, then the super soldier transformation experiment can also be officially promoted to the agenda.

Even if the technology is not mature, Storm can still use it to make deals with the military and clear the stigma.

However, Storm doesn't care about his identity as a criminal.

Becoming a criminal liberated him from the sense of restraint he suffered when he acted.

What he wants to do now is to gather a force and ......

Perform revenge!

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Storm."

Luke was a little sensitive to the fiery gaze coming from Storm, and nodded slightly.

"Your enemy is Kim, and that's good."

Storm changed the subject and said slowly, "We have the same enemy, which allows us to have the same goal. ”

"With all due respect, I easily accepted asylum from Osben, and I also understood that I would have to pay some price for it."

Luke was a little frightened when he heard Storm's words, and felt that he was involved in a great dispute.

From the New York underground overlord Kim and the feud between Osben.

"What do you need me to do?" He couldn't help but ask.

"That's a good question."

Storm smiled, "We want you to stand on the table and blatantly give money and sabotage." To this end, I, and Osben, will do my best to assist you. ”

After a pause, seeing that Luke still didn't understand, he changed to a simpler and easier to understand statement.

"To put it bluntly, I want you to replace Kim and become the boss of the New York underworld."

"What?"

Luke's eyes widened, a little incredulous, and he pointed at himself, "Are you sure I can do this?" Will Kim and wrench from his throne? ”

"With Osborne, with me, what's impossible?"

At this time, Noah spoke, and he showed a proud expression: "Luke, don't forget, how did you get the strength of this body. ”

"Understood."

Luke took a deep breath, countless images flashing through his mind.

In the powerlessness of Haimen Prison, the pursuit and killing after escaping from Haimen Prison, and the huge oppressive force felt in the air before he even saw the other party......

All kinds of unwillingness converge into ambition.

"Good!"

He was categorical: "I promised!" ”

"We've got a basic plan of action, and the first step is simple, you need to gather the power of a gang first......"

"According to what we heard, the person who betrayed your news is called Rattlesnake Wesley Stryker, he is the boss of the Magia Gang in Harlem, and Stryker has been captured by David Fisk, that is, Kim's own brother, because of his connection with Rackham."

"David Fisk is a big threat. After you have enough power, the first person to be killed in order to deal with Jin He is his vicious younger brother. ”

Noah didn't pay attention when he spoke, and when he heard Wesley Stryker's name, there was a look of surprise in Luke's eyes.

His voice continued, in an impassioned tone:

"Stryker has become a prisoner of David Fisk, and the Magia Gang he controls is now leaderless, and this is an opportunity to rise to the top."

"We'll help you become the boss of the Maggia."

"Then, through human modification surgery, let your people have enough force to be forced, plus Osben to provide arms...... You will be unrivaled in the New York underworld. ”

I have to admit that Noah's words are very tempting, and Luke ignores Stryker, who has turned against him, and the fire of ambition that has been hooked up begins to burn.

Storm's face was calm.

This was what he had agreed with Noah.

And it all started with a conversation with Norman Osborne on the night when the Horizon Labs building was forced to be exposed, after discovering that the situation was inevitable.

"Since the other party is a gangster, then use gangster means to compete with the other party."

"Pull Kim down from the throne and I will be the new king!"

……

A few days later.

"There's no news of Luke Cage yet, he seems to have evaporated from the world."

Wesley was reporting on the situation: "I suspect he may well have been helped by some people. ”

"Somebody, you mean?" David asked.

"I don't know."

Wesley shook his head: "Just a guess. ”

"You have a point, but it's okay, check slowly, one day he will show up."

David replied that he didn't really take it very seriously.

Although it is very interesting to catch Luke Cage and find a way to get a new technology from the source of Luke's superpowers.

But for him, the attraction is not too great.

Today, Fisker Pharmaceuticals has two promising projects: cross-species gene transfer and extinct virus.

In contrast, a technical ceiling for a street hero like Luke Cage is not indispensable.

David originally thought that it would be best to cut off the beard, and it didn't matter if he couldn't.

"Albert Rackham, the Brotherhood has sent someone to deal with it."

Wesley then reported: "The gunsmith and butcher are out and have arrived in Georgia yesterday, and you will receive good news soon." ”

"Tell the two of them that when Rackham dies, he will be a man of understanding, and know why he is dead, so that he will not think of the enemy as someone else."

David admonished: "The rules of the neutral zone have been broken, and Wilson has to get his face back." ”

"That's not quite a hitman's tone." Wesley frowned slightly.

"Some customers like customized service."

David said: "The Brotherhood is no longer the organization that was led by the nose by the loom of fate, we have to think about it from a different perspective, the 21st century is the era of the service industry, and customized services must be available." ”

"The guest is God, you have the final say, and I will relay your request to the two of them." Wesley shrugged.

Bang!

As he spoke, the office door was pushed open violently.

The two were slightly stunned, and when they looked at the sound, they saw Connors standing at the door looking very excited, his hands trembling slightly, he opened his mouth, and seemed to be a little silent for a while.

David's eyes widened, as if he had a premonition of something.

"It worked!"

Sure enough, Connors took a deep breath, forcibly calmed himself down, and said in a deep voice: "The special biological gene you brought a few days ago has a great effect, and our experiment has made significant progress......"

Although this is a significant progress, from the analysis of Connors's demeanor, it is almost certain that after more than two months of round-the-clock research, they are close to success.

"Take me to see it."

David couldn't wait.

Wesley was also excited, pushing his wheelchair and following Connors to the lab.

A mouse in a glass case, bouncing around.

"This is our 163rd biological experiment, it has been five days since we received the injection, and the mice have no obvious irritability in these five days, let alone bloodthirsty symptoms, and it has been verified that its recovery ability and strength have increased significantly......

"Although it will take longer to verify, we have reason to believe that we have basically overcome the side effects of bat serum," Connors said with a smile. ”

"Yes."

On the side, Maya and Killian agree with Connors.

"We checked it every day and the results showed that it is now very healthy with no significant side effects."

Maya hesitated for a moment and said, "Although the progress is a bit fast, we believe that the current optimization and adjustment of bat serum has entered the substantive final stage, and further biological experiments can be considered." ”

"You want to do human experiments?"

David raised an eyebrow.

He understood what the people in front of him meant.

Bat serum is already qualified for the final step of validation.

If successful, David will be able to get the injection, get rid of the blood disease completely, and still have extraordinary physique and ability.

If he fails, David doesn't care, he still has enough time to wait for success.

"There is no problem with human experiments, I have collaborators, and I can arrange them at any time, which is reasonable and legal."

David pondered for a moment, nodded, and spoke very bluntly: "But the question is, can you restrain the strengthening function of bat serum on the human body...... We can't create supernatural abilities that aren't ours. ”

The identity of his underground world, although the few people in front of him are not very clear, can also see a clue, especially Connors.

Those who make supernatural abilities can, but they can't create supernatural abilities that are not controlled, and that's the key.

Several people glanced at each other, and Connors smiled: "Don't worry, the optimized bat serum technology is not really borrowing bat genes, but reshaping human genes through desperate virus technology...... Abilities like Dr. Morbius's would never be seen in experiments. ”

After a pause, he emphasized: "What we want to verify at the moment is technology, not bat serum." ”

"What's the effect?" David asked.

"Theoretically, it is possible to cure diseases through genetic modification, or even reduce the probability of disease, and make people stronger, but they will not have any superpowers."

Connors replied, "If this technology is realized, then you can use bat serum to strengthen yourself without any side effects." ”

These days, they have a clear idea of what David thinks.

David never worries about his health, because he knows it's never a problem.

He had bigger ambitions.

"That's good."

David understood that bat serum technology and bat serum were two different things.

In short, the bat serum technology, after being optimized and adjusted under the principle of the Desperate Virus technology, can also be used on the lizard serum that Connors dreamed of - although the lizard serum has not yet been truly studied, it is conceivable that it is not far away.

immediately made a categorical guarantee: "I will arrange it." ”

The voice fell,

He turned back to his office and dialed Sitwell.

"As agreed, I'm going to conduct human experiments."

Davy's tone was resolute: "Tomorrow, arrange it as soon as possible." ”

"So fast?"

Sitwell was surprised: "Your research has yielded results?" ”

"You won't be disappointed."

David replied with confidence.
