Chapter 30: That's a Man!
General Adam was amazed that this Ian, who had been domineering just a moment, reacted so much to a corpse.
Barry cocked the glass of the cabin and asked, "Ian, this is a corpse, what's there to be afraid of?" β
Ian dragged him forward, explaining, "Doomsday is a biological weapon created by the Kryptonians with the sole purpose of killing and destroying. Even the Kryptonians could not control the creature, so they had to seal him away. β
"Some people say that this creature cannot be killed at all, and will continue to evolve its own means of killing life according to the environment, until it becomes the ultimate weapon to destroy the world."
"How is this possible?"
General Adam disagreed, saying, "If this thing doesn't die, it won't be captured by us and used as research material." β
Ian nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe it's just a rumor that Doom Day can't be killed, but it can evolve at any time depending on the environment, that's a sure thing." If this thing wakes up, we'll be in the belly. β
General Adam waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "If this thing can wake up." Sixty-seven years have passed, and the cellular activity on this corpse has disappeared, and it is impossible to come back to life. Mr. Ian doesn't need to worry anymore. β
"Of course it's the best, the last thing we need now is the enemy."
Ian has no masochistic fetishes, and the fewer opponents like Doom Day, the better.
With that, the crowd put this unpleasant topic behind them, and General Adam led them to the place where Karl El was being held.
"That Kryptonite is in the room behind the mirror!"
Ian looked forward and watched as the adjustable one-way mirror slowly turned transparent, revealing the current state of the room next door.
The room was blank, without any furniture, and the four corners of the room were illuminators that simulated red sunlight, which did not stop at all times, allowing the red light to fill the entire room and suppress the growth of Kryptonians.
And poor Rib Super, Carl El of the Flashpoint World is nested on the ground, his body curled up, holding his head with both hands, like a little beast afraid to touch the world.
Barry has the speed of power, and the senses of his body are far beyond ordinary people, even if the room is full of red light, he can see the wounds on the rib super, and then think of the experiment that General Adam said, it is not difficult to guess what this group of bastards have done.
Barry clenched his fists and accused, "This is a living man, and you imprisoned and abused him like this?" β
He had seen the Metlopolitan's Son of Hope, and then looked at the poor man in front of him, and his heart burned with rage.
General Adam only glanced at Barry and said indifferently: "This is an alien, the spaceship he was on destroyed the city center of the metropolis thirty years ago, and countless people died because of it. β
Barry gritted his teeth and retorted with a blue face: "Since he is guilty, he should be judged by the righteous and bright light, instead of being locked up here by you as a guinea pig." This is an intelligent being with a self-will. β
"Childish!" General Adam's eyes turned to disdain, he had always looked down on these superheroes, thinking that they were just a bunch of children.
How can Barry endure it, he has to reason with him.
Ian reached out and patted Barry on the shoulder, interrupting him.
Immediately, he made his own request to General Adam: "I want to communicate with this Kryptonian face to face!" β
"Impossible, this Kryptonian ......"
Ian didn't listen to the guy at all, turned to Thomas and Steve and said, "Let's go!" Since General Adam is unwilling to meet our demands, let the officials who take over the project's legacy satisfy us after this project is disbanded! β
"Wait!" General Adam hurriedly spoke up to stop Ian.
This kid is really a cruel guy who doesn't talk much! He didn't want to end up with the project.
Ian turned around, looked at General Adam coldly, and didn't speak.
He didn't say a word of cruelty from beginning to end, but the kind of silent threat that directly hit his vital interests made the always tough General Adam directly succumb.
"For the record, this Kryptonian is dangerous. He was involved in the riot that cost General Ryan his life in the first place! β
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Ian's mouth: "Isn't it funny that you raise a person like a dog and ask him not to resist?" β
"Humph!"
General Adam saw Ian and the naΓ―ve superhero standing aside, and didn't say anything more, just called the security guards.
He gestured to the security guards and said, "You guys, take this Mr. Ian to the room where the Kryptonians are being held!" β
The security personnel were stunned for a while, the room where the Kryptonian was located was a forbidden area, and even the food delivery personnel had to be protected layer by layer.
And now even let an outsider come into direct contact?
Adam scolded in displeasure: "Execute the order now!" β
"Yes!"
These security guards were all elite soldiers on active duty, and when they were reprimanded, they stopped asking more questions and walked to the front of the room with Ian.
The high-frequency laser net was disarmed, the automatic scanning machine gun was turned off, and a steel door thicker than a Wall Street vault was opened, and finally a normal door.
"Sir, none of the insiders of the lab are allowed access to this Kryptonian. So please go in for yourself! β
With that, several security guards threw down the keys and fled.
Ian looked at the panicked appearance of this group of people, and was curious, the ribs have not even been exposed to the sun until now, what is so scary!
Unbeknownst to him, in order to keep the scientists and security personnel from feeling any sympathy for the imprisoned Rib Chao, General Adam unleashed the rumor that Rib Chao was the culprit in destroying the Metropolitan City Center.
This method was very successful, and since the group of people who followed General Lane were replaced, no one spoke to Rib Chao.
Ian opened the door with the key and walked out into the red-lit room.
The red light was so strong that even when he first walked into the room, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and it took him a while to get used to seeing things clearly.
Ian looked at those red sun lamps and scolded in his heart: "These bastards are really ruthless! β
Hearing someone walk in, Rib Chao's first reaction was to shrink into the corner of the wall, and over the years, the only purpose of all the people who walked into this room was to catch him for experiments.
The more he struggled, the more ferocious these people used against him.
Beatings, electric shocks, drugs...... Do whatever it takes.
The current Carl El is skinny and bony, with scars all over his body.
Ian frowned, didn't step forward immediately, just stood in place.
After a while, Rib Chao saw that the person who entered the door did not move, so he removed the arm blocking him and glanced through the gap.
"You're not from the lab?"
Ian stood still, a kind smile on his face, "My name is Ian, and I want to talk to you." β
