Chapter 28 It's You, the Locomotive
When Kevin received Annie's call, he was happily counting his current assets.
The jewelry, antiques and gold he got from the sea were sold for more than three million US dollars, which made Kevin's small treasury have a good meal.
Although three million US dollars may not seem like a lot, it should be clear that the jewelry Kevin salvaged from the seabed is only a small part of the sea.
Probably not even one ten-thousandth.
Such a small amount of things has brought Kevin such a huge profit. It can be predicted that if Kevin salvages the entire sea, he will probably immediately become one of the richest people in the world.
Thinking of these, Kevin was in a good mood.
Until Xingguang called him and ruined his good mood completely.
"Didn't I say that you shouldn't bring Kimiko out unless necessary!"
Listening to Annie's panicked voice on the other end of the phone, Kevin had a headache.
Annie explained:
"Kimiko has always wanted to find her brother. I was worried that if I didn't let her go, she would run away, so I thought about going with her.
"But who would have thought that I would disappear after just a short while!"
"Did she run away by herself?"
"I don't know! I've looked around, and no one has seen Kimiko!"
"I know. Don't worry. Look in the alleys nearby. I'll be there soon. Oh, give me the location. "
With Kevin and Starlight helping, it is impossible for Kimiko to run away for no reason, and she would disappear suddenly in public.
The only thing Kevin could think of was Lokomotiv.
This speedster in the world of black robes.
He has super fast movement speed, and it is not difficult for him to kidnap a person without being noticed.
And the reason why Kimiko has superpowers is because Lokomotiv provided the gangs with Compound No. 5 and asked them to inject Kimiko.
Kimiko is missing, and Lokomotiv is the first person responsible, and he will be scolded by his countrymen.
Therefore, he must find Kimiko as soon as possible, which is why Kevin emphasized to Annie that she should not take Kimiko out unless necessary.
Once she comes out, it will become the current situation.
Kevin is now I know Annie is in a hurry, but it's useless to be in a hurry. With the speed of the locomotive, he is probably not near the commercial street now, and Annie is unlikely to find him and Kimiko.
But Kevin still asked her to try her luck in the nearby alleys. What if she ran into him?
The locomotive should not attack Annie, who is also in the group of seven. If she really ran into the locomotive, Annie could delay the time.
As for Kevin, he looked at the location sent by Annie and used that location as the center to find a sparsely populated place nearby.
Soon he locked onto an abandoned building in a remote location where almost no one would go, and quickly rushed to that place.
...
The locomotive Reggie is in a bad mood now.
Or he has been in a bad mood these days.
First, Regarding work, the company recently intends to train a newcomer named ‘Shockwave’. This newcomer is a white man with the same super speed as him.
In order to build momentum for this newcomer, the company wants to let Lokomotiv compete with him in a speed contest.
The company may think that the newcomer will not beat Lokomotiv, so there is no special arrangement for a fake match.
After all, Lokomotiv is a veteran hero, and Shockwave is just a newcomer. No one thinks Shockwave can win, including the company's top management.
But the problem is that Lokomotiv has been taking drugs. He has forgotten how much Compound No. 5 he has injected. Under the effect of Compound No. 5, Lokomotiv's body has some problems.
The most obvious thing is that his speed is not as good as before.
In other words, in tomorrow's game, if there is no accident, If something unexpected happens, there is a high probability that the locomotive will lose.
And this is not the worst.
The worst thing is that he messed up what Homelander arranged.
The locomotive knew about Compound No. 5 because Homelander needed his speed and asked him to use super speed to deliver Compound No. 5 to Homelander and distribute these drugs to the gangs in New York to help them do human experiments.
Compound No. 5 will be injected into adults.
The casualty rate of this experiment is very high, and few people can survive the injection of Compound No. 5.
After so long, Locomotive has only cultivated a superhuman.
Originally, this superhuman should be locked up and released when Homelander needs it to cause great damage, and then let Homelander deal with it, so as to achieve Homelander's goal.
As a result, when Locomotive went to see it two days ago, he found that the gang underground where the superhuman was imprisoned had been blocked by the police.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the superhuman should have escaped.
This made Locomotive feel very bad.
If this matter is not handled well, the superhuman is not brought back, and Homelander knows about it...
The locomotive knew with his toes that the people of his country would not let him go easily.
So the locomotive began to search for the superhuman in New York in his spare time.
He first went to his girlfriend, the claw girl, to ask her if she had told anyone about Compound No. 5, because the locomotive usually stored Compound No. 5 with his girlfriend.
After getting a reply from his girlfriend that she had not told anyone, he began to run back and forth between the group of human traffickers responsible for smuggling people.
The abducted girl came from abroad and was an illegal immigrant who had smuggled in.
If she wanted to go back, she would definitely ask these human traffickers about the location of her home. The locomotive thought so, so he tried his luck here.
Maybe the locomotive was lucky.
He really found the missing girl.
Boom, boom, boom! !
In the deserted building, the locomotive avoided all the homeless people and smashed the girl's head to the ground.
If it was an ordinary person, being smashed by the locomotive would probably cause blood and brains to fly.
But the girl was a superhuman, and a superhuman specialized in the physical body. He was sure that his impact would not kill her, so he tried to knock her out.
"Tell me, who rescued you!"
After a while, the locomotive grabbed the hair of Kimiko, who was half unconscious, and asked sternly.
He looked at the traces at the scene. In addition to Kimiko, there was at least one outsider at the scene. Perhaps it was because of that outsider that Kimiko was released that Kimiko ran away.
The locomotive must now determine who the person who rescued Kimiko was.
Whether he knew about Compound No. 5, and how much he knew about them.
This involved the future of the seven-member group, and the locomotive had to care about it.
But Kimiko didn't know how to speak, and after being hit by the locomotive, her head was dizzy, so she couldn't answer the locomotive.
Seeing that Kimiko didn't answer, the locomotive grabbed her head and hit her to the ground again.
Only after he knocked her unconscious did he let her go and prepared to pack up and take her away.
But just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the building:
"Hey, Locomotive."
"?"
His heart suddenly moved, and Locomotive turned around instantly after hearing this familiar voice.
"Deep Sea!?"
He looked at the person with surprise in his eyes.
Because this person was Deep Sea, who was also a member of the Seven-Man Team with him.
