Chapter 66: Frustrated Clark (Additional Chapter for the Boss with the Last Number 12224)
The early morning sun hits the yellow school bus.
"Honestly, I hate today's trip to the Luther Chemical Plant."
Chloe frowned, her cheeks reflected in the glass, the girl looked unhappy.
Peter, who was sitting next to her, said with a bad smile: "It's because Chloe's father also works in a chemical factory, and her father is also a show-off maniac."
"Shut up, Pete!"
The two were bickering, but Peter was a little surprised that Clark didn't say a word, just lowered his head and looked at the iron plate of the school bus, as if he was watching something.
Peter stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Clark's eyes: "Clark, what are you thinking about?"
"ah?"
Clark came to his senses in a panic and licked his lips: "I didn't think about anything."
And from an angle that no one can see.
Under the chassis of the school bus, Earl, a black man, was hiding in the luggage storage mezzanine with a difficult look on his face.
"Everyone, welcome to Luther Chemical Plant!"
The middle-aged man in a suit and tie puffed out his chest with pride, holding a document bag in his hand and looking at the dozens of students who visited today.
Clark, Chloe, Pete, and Lana and her ex-boyfriend Whitney.
The middle-aged white man smiled and said: "I am Gabe Sullivan. I am the manager of the factory and a proud father, right? Chloe."
In the crowd, feeling the looks from all around, Chloe smiled awkwardly: "That's right, Dad."
What else does the manager want to say to these students? At this time, a group of people surrounded Lex and walked towards the elevator.
"Mr. Lex."
Gabe quickly left his job of receiving the students.
"Oh? Today is a student visit day?" Lex stopped, glanced at Clark, and raised a smile on his lips: "Gabe, let me show them around."
He is very curious about Clark's current strength.
The big boss spoke, and Gabe nodded in agreement.
Lex turned to his assistant and ordered:
"Lina, go bring them over and let them take the elevator up."
"I'll wait for them on the fourth floor."
"Everyone." Lex's assistant had no good temper. The old woman said with a slumped face: "Put all the electronic equipment you carry in the storage box. Taking pictures and running around are not allowed in the factory."
"Uh, this lady."
Clark took the opportunity to ask, "I heard the factory once had a third floor. Is that true?"
The assistant shook his head without hesitation: "No, it's a rumor."
"Okay, everyone, come with me, let's take the stairs."
A large group of people followed the assistant into the elevator.
Shortly after they left, the black man Earl pushed open the iron door of the storage room and turned towards the emergency passage on the other side.
He walked through countless corridors filled with iron pipes and walked up stairs that smelled of rust.
Soon, the black man reached the door of the third floor.
"Huhu."
He took a deep breath and turned the doorknob.
"Kacha!"
As the iron door opened, what came into view was a small locker.
"This, this is impossible!"
Earl's emotions were instantly ignited by the scene before him. He broke into the storage room like crazy and kept rummaging through it.
However, except for a white wall and a cold iron frame, there was nothing else in the room.
"This is impossible!"
The only hope was shattered, Earl's eyes turned red, and the black man beat the cold wall crazily.
His future, his hope, are all gone!
With a twisted mentality, Earl couldn't accept this fact.
The black man muttered, "No, there must be a third floor."
His hand went to his suit pocket.
A dark American Iai pistol was held in Earl's hand.
The black man's eyes were full of confusion, and he stretched out his thick palm to rub the gun body.
"Kacha."
With the bullet loaded, Earl showed a broken smile: "No, there must be hope. They must have hidden the third floor."
Fourth floor.
Students, notebooks in hand, gathered in a large office on the fourth floor of the factory.
The surroundings are full of sophisticated equipment, and a group of scientists in white coats are monitoring various parameters on the computer.
"Everyone, welcome to Luther Group." Lex led everyone around with his hands behind his back: "This is the command center of the factory."
"100,000 tons of animal waste are processed here every year." Lex smiled evilly, licked his teeth and said, "I hope you don't bring any flammable materials, otherwise everyone will be blown up."
There was echoing laughter from the crowd, but Clark was the only one with a sad look on his face.
He was a little worried about whether Earl could successfully infiltrate.
"Whoosh!"
A crash of steel interrupted Lex's speech.
The bald and overbearing president glanced at Gabe: "Manager, go and see what's going on?"
Gabe stepped toward the source of the sound, a locked iron door.
"Wow!"
Before Gabor could get closer, the iron door was knocked open. The tall, strong black man with a fierce look stretched out his hand to grab Gabor's neck, and then raised the dark muzzle of the gun and pressed it against Gabor's temple.
The man didn't even react before he was choked by the black man and subdued.
The classmates were also frightened and overwhelmed by this sudden scene. Only Chloe screamed in horror: "Dad!"
The next second, many people came to their senses and realized that they had been kidnapped. Some timid girls even cried out of fear.
Clark also roared: "Earl, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Clark's heart was full of regret. He shouldn't be so generous with his kindness and mercy.
Clark decided to stop the tragedy he caused.
The boy swung his arms and stepped forward, and started at a lightning speed in milliseconds. Everything around him seemed to freeze and slow down. Clark ran towards Earl and stretched out his right hand to grab Earl's gun-holding arm.
"Snap!"
The moment the skin touched, the kryptonite flowing in Earl's body burst into a dazzling green light.
"Ah!"
Clark screamed, and then was easily pushed down by Earl.
"Bang!" Clark fell to the floor in embarrassment, but at this moment the crowd was in chaos, and no one noticed Clark's abnormality.
People screamed and cried.
"Shut up!" Earl yelled at the crowd, suppressing all the noise.
His voice was low and hoarse, and he yelled at Gabe: "Gabe, you are the manager here, you should know where the third floor is, take me there."
"Otherwise, I will shoot you to death!"
Now he just wants to recover himself, and the lives of others can be easily abandoned.
"Father!"
Chloe clenched her fists in the crowd.
The girl subconsciously wanted to rush forward to rescue her father, but Lex grabbed her wrist. He lowered his voice and said, "Go through the emergency door at the back. The password is 1017. Go to the underground negative floor to find Keno. Be quick!"
Chloe rolled her eyes and suppressed her inner fear. She nodded and moved back carefully.
"Hey, your name is Earl, right?" Lex stepped forward to attract Earl's attention. His bald face was full of arrogance: "Since you want to kidnap someone to find the third floor, why don't you find a hostage with enough weight."
Earl was alert: "Who are you?"
Lex straightened his chest: "I am Lex Luthor, the owner of this factory."
Thanks to the 200-point reward from the big boss of Crossing the Deadline. Thank you big boss (^~^)
