Chapter 508: Mixed Feelings Luthor
While walking and chatting with Petro and Kara, Zhang Yu and the others have also approached the Union Building, which is located in the center of the city.
Originally, this was supposed to be the most prosperous building in the world built by Hydra, with a variety of rooms for people to enjoy, and beautiful girls scavenged from all over the world.
During the period when Hydra fell, the place suffered inhumane destruction, almost all forces tried to reach over and tear off a piece of flesh, and the entire building was burned and looted.
However, although the facilities inside were destroyed and everything was looted, the entire framework of the building was still there, and the foundation was very solid, so after Luthor took over the power here, it was designated as the headquarters of the Alliance.
Robbing this place is not a special trouble, with Clark taking the lead, Luthor can be regarded as experiencing the thrill of commanding the Justice League, in the face of absolute strength, those local forces have no chance to resist at all.
After learning from the past, Clark also learned to be obedient, he rarely expressed his opinions in meetings, basically Luthor said that he would go east if he went east, and Batman said that he would hit whoever he wanted.
With the help of two of the world's most prominent politicians and financiers, it took less than a month for the Wasteland's native gangs to be dismantled.
The only thing that is difficult is the supervillains on the island of Japan, where humanity is even more depleted, and the vast majority of people have been completely brainwashed and trained to become dead soldiers.
So even though Clark felt a little guilty, he still killed the killer and wiped out all the resistance forces there, leaving only a part of the people who still retained their morality and three views.
As Carla and Pietro said before, the earth at this time is already monolithic, and after there is no distinction between various countries, the entire planet has only one name - the Atrium Federation.
However, the eradication of the resistance is only the beginning, and it is also the easiest thing, and the real difficulty is the subsequent reconstruction of the wasteland.
Luthor sat in his office on the top floor of the Union Tower, his eyes bloodshot as he reviewed the documents in front of him, he hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, and now that the entire wasteland was in action, he didn't have time to rest.
"Mrs. Mask, help me refill a cup of coffee, thank you."
Picking up the pen and signing a document titled "Lizardman Race Management: Transformation of Rainforest Island", Luthor wiped the sweat from his head and spoke.
Hearing Luthor's voice, Mrs. Mask put the materials in her hand away, then got up and took a cup of coffee, and went to Luther's desk to replace the empty cup.
"Mr. Luther, it's time for you to take a break, work is not done, your body is the most important thing."
"Thank you." Luthor thanked him and then said with a wry smile. "People all over the world are staring at me, and I'm finally sitting in this position, so naturally I have to work harder."
Since Dr. Doom's death, Mrs. Masked and her forces have become ownerless, and she has not only contained Dr. Doom's Destruction Robots, but also the gangsters of Count Nefara.
As an alliance force to rebuild the wasteland, it was naturally impossible for everyone to keep such a powerful force out of their control, so Luthor stepped forward, and the two sides had face-to-face exchanges and talks.
Everyone knew how powerful the Alliance was, including the Madam Masked, so after Luthor provided the appropriate benefits, Madame Masked quickly disbanded her forces and joined the Alliance.
The current Lady of the Mask has been appointed Supreme Secretary-General by Luthor to serve herself and also help him with the approval of the reconstruction documents for the wasteland.
However, there is a grapevine that Madame Mask surrendered because she was infatuated with Luther, but this news has never been confirmed.
"By the way, what's going on over there?" Luthor took a sip of his coffee, suddenly thought of something, and asked.
Hearing this, Mrs. Mask thought for a moment and said. "You should be talking about the salvage work of Atlantis, the progress over there is not very smooth, even if we send two hundred destruction robots, it is a drop in the bucket."
"How so?" Luthor frowned.
"The war was too grandiose, Atlantis was attacked by alien technology from the world masters, the entire undersea country was exiled to another dimension, and the subsequent backflow of sea water destroyed most of the ruins."
Mrs. Mask said calmly. "We have tried our best to salvage it, but the harvest has not been large, only some of the broken arm remains on the bottom of the sea, and most of it has been carried by the currents to other seas."
"In that case, why didn't Mela produce a written report? If there is a delay here, our seabed reconstruction work will be delayed. Luthor was a little distressed.
"Mela's report was sent to Barbara, and due to the dramatic change in the topography of the seabed, there was a probability of zero that our initial plan could be completed, so Ms. Barbara is redrawing the drawings."
"What are the after-effects of seawater intrusion?"
"Yes." The Mask Lady nodded and continued. "Ms. Barbara has done her best to restructure it, and the rest of the work will be left to the Blood Nest to help rebuild Atlantis."
"That's good, so I can have a little easier here, by the way, what about those dinosaurs wandering outside, this is the group of things that have the most headache right now." Luthor asked again.
Back then, because dinosaurs were very rare, after the supervillains laid down the wild land, many merchants began to transport the dinosaurs inside for resale.
But later, because the dinosaurs ate too much, ordinary people couldn't afford to raise them, so there was also a malicious release incident at that time, and the ruling organization Hydra at that time didn't care about these small things at all, so they turned a blind eye.
By the time people reacted, dinosaurs had become part of the chain of wild creatures, and after decades of reproduction and migration, dinosaurs had spread all over the world, and often hurt people.
What Luthor now has in front of him is such a difficult mess to deal with.
"We've already arranged for the Hulk Gang to deal with it, but because the dinosaurs are too big to live in, it's hard to control for a while, and the Alliance is trying to find a way to set up a facility, and when the construction is completed, most of the dinosaurs will be driven to the island."
"Jurassic Park in another world, it looks good, and it can sell tickets in the future." Luther nodded and added. "Let the patrols cheer up, and there will be no more dinosaur injuries."
"Yes, but although we have issued a regulation strictly prohibiting people from entering the wild jungle, there are still many people who leave to go there, and even many mercenaries like to go treasure hunting." Lady Masked said.
Hearing this, Luthor sighed heavily and gritted his teeth.
"If they are looking for death, let them die, now we don't have enough manpower, we can't deal with so many things, and when I'm done here, I have to sort out the group of people who are working against me."
"One more thing, the heavy industry on the Blood Baron's side has developed, and he asks where we should choose the next city to expand." Madame Masked pulled out a file from the folder and placed it in front of Luther.
Picking up the file, Luthor put on his glasses and read it, describing the relocation and planning regulations for the Bloodnest industry.
The former Blood Nest can be described as a huge weapons workshop, which was full of industrial factories for the manufacture of various heavy weapons, and later under the planning of the Alliance, all of them were converted into regular heavy industries.
In addition to the manufacture of cast steel and salt iron, the remaining factories are also renovating the glass manufacturing and chemical industries, and are contributing construction equipment to the entire waste land to help expand the reconstruction project.
Now that the Bloodnest is thriving, they are looking for the next city to carry out heavy industry so that they can make a greater contribution to the rebuilding of the wasteland.
After reading the whole plan, Luthor lifted his glasses, thought for a moment and said. "Let's go to Hammer City, because of the disappearance of Thor's hammer, a lot of people have been lost over there, and heavy industry there can also aggravate the population recovery."
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Madame Masked nodded and replied.
Seeing Madame Mask return to her desk, Luthor breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has finally become the leader of a planet in the true sense of the word, he is not happy at all, and he is even so busy that he can't even squeeze out the time when he is unhappy.
The fall of Hydra and the other supervillains left him such a huge mess that when he first took over power, Luthor was still in high spirits and felt that no difficulty could stop him.
After all, he has the powerful Justice League under his command, and even the Avengers are under his management, so it can be said that he Luthor is the 'king' of the entire wasteland.
But when he really started to manage and rebuild, Luthor realized that he was a little too young, and all sorts of mess were piled up in front of him, and he even had to be nailed to his chair all day.
If it was something more difficult or serious, it would be fine, but the problem was that even a city that wanted to be converted into a scenic area needed his nod, which really increased Luthor's workload.
It stands to reason that there is no need for such a local policy to be sent to Luther.
But because the rebuilding of the wasteland is holistic, if everything is assigned to the local command, it is easy to have conflicts in the subsequent reconstruction.
As a simple example, if the people below this scenic area nod, then if Luthor wants to build a high-speed rail line, it may conflict with the establishment of the scenic area.
If only they had plenty of resources, but the problem is that the wasteland is now simple, and all resources can be saved, and this huge industrial waste is something that Luthor doesn't want to see.
So, as a last resort, Luthor had no choice but to take all these jobs in front of him.
