Chapter 182 A New Kryptonian Escape Pod! ?
This is the conference room of the US military base. Amanda Waller is sitting in the main seat. They are just having a meeting, a very, very important meeting.
At this time, the meeting was interrupted by an uninvited guest who projected his face on the big screen.
"Miss Waller, it's nice to meet you again."
Among the many whispers, Amanda Waller slowly stood up and stared at the face on the screen.
Although she is a sturdy aunt with a body as big as a bucket, she can still be called "Miss" whenever someone asks her for something.
But Waller didn't appreciate it at all.
Across the screen, she quietly looked at the thin middle-aged man with orange hair and glasses in front of her.
"Dr. Randolph Porter, you should know that you are now a Class A wanted criminal because of your illegal abuse and trafficking of venom, your use of civilians for experiments, your open attack on the National Laboratory, your violent resistance to the law and the killing of multiple agents after being charged with dozens of crimes."
Amanda said, "Your cooperation with the government has long ended. Do you still have the courage to appear in front of us?"
Amanda knew very well that the FBI's most elite computer experts would start tracking the signal one second before she saw the live broadcast in front of her to try to find the location of this daring criminal.
And what she had to do was to delay time as much as possible to create opportunities for the computer experts.
But Dr. Randolph in front of him seemed to have not heard what he said at all.
He said to himself, "Two weeks ago, I attacked your secret laboratory in Kansas."
His expression was indifferent, but as he spoke, green fine lines climbed up his cheeks bit by bit, adding a bit of sinister and terrifying temperament to him.
"Yeah, use your unconscious Venom people."
Amanda Waller said: "You are looking for death."
She suspected that the person in front of her was not a live broadcast but a video, so she tried: "Answer me, Randolph, do you want to die?"
"Don't say it so harshly, Waller. Guess what I found?
Dr. Randolph immediately responded to Amanda. He didn't seem to care about Amanda's attitude and continued: "I can't believe you found this."
Then he said in a dreamy tone: "You have detected a new Krypton refugee ship flying towards the earth."
"A Kryptonian baby who may be like Superman! This means the future!"
Amanda Waller looked at Dr. Randolph with an ugly face, and he laughed:
"So this is why the news about the monsters that jumped out of the coast to eat people was so overwhelming, right? It's also why the state police and the army were completely indifferent to those monsters. "
"You want to distract Batman from that matter to make sure he doesn't jump out and snatch this new Kryptonian from you!"
Amanda's eyes began to become dangerous.
This guy knows too much.
He knows so much just from the lab he attacked? Bullshit.
Amanda doesn't believe it.
She realized that the other party must have used the addictiveness of venom to control some officials, and even some of their own people.
Thinking of this, Amanda felt very bad.
They have done their best to keep confidentiality, and even did not keep any electronic files to prevent intrusion.
But the problem is that those confidential agents are just ordinary people after all. , even if they have been trained to resist drug interrogation, they will still surrender in front of Titan Venom, a highly addictive drug that is hundreds of times more powerful than opium.
Not to mention that they are still facing Dr. Randolph, the creator of Titan Venom.
Amanda believes that the other party noticed part of their plan when they invaded the experimental base, but they didn't know the whole picture. The next step should be the result of the other party's active investigation.
The most interesting thing is that they knew nothing from beginning to end!
"So you are here to show off to us that you have discovered our little secret, right, Potter?"
Amanda expressionless: "What do you want to do, Randolph Potter?"
"Don't be so aggressive, Miss Waller."
He heard Dr. Randolph on the other side of the screen laugh softly.
"We can cooperate."
"I have nothing to talk about with terrorists."
Amanda said: "Your destination is prison."
"Our previous cooperation was very successful, wasn't it? I successfully developed venom using those foreign prisoners. "
Dr. Randolph said: "It's the same now."
He looked down at his watch. Then a reserved smile appeared on his face.
"There are still 4 minutes before the spaceship lands, right?"
He said: "Isn't this meeting you held just to witness this moment?"
He said maliciously: "Are you discussing how to divide the value of this new Kryptonian?"
Amanda Waller couldn't bear it any longer. She turned her head and shouted to the technician beside her: "Stupid, why haven't you found his location yet! You..."
Waller suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment. He stared at the computer expert and then pulled his sleeve open.
She found a pinhole on his forearm.
"It's you!"
Amanda's face darkened: "You work for Porter!"
"No, no, I didn't..."
The computer expert wanted to deny it. But the words of several colleagues beside him cut off his last bit of luck: "No wonder we haven't tracked him down, team leader, you..."
Amanda Waller quickly retreated to the back, and then the guards on the scene directly pulled out their guns and pointed them at him, and the officials and officers sitting next to the computer expert, as well as the men who had just accused him, also hurriedly scattered and made way for an open space.
The computer expert was so scared that his head was sweating. He looked at everyone pleadingly, but only received cold eyes.
"No, no..."
Under the guns, his psychological defense finally collapsed.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Waller, I, I don't want to, but Venom is so good, I can't control myself at all... Oh, my God, my God..."
"Are you still looking for my location, Waller?"
"No need to look for it."
Amanda turned her head and saw Dr. Randolph on the screen with a malicious smile.
He picked up the camera and walked out of the originally white background. Amanda found that he was in a tent, and outside...
It was an endless desert.
"Longitude: 116.293417, Latitude: 40.068589." Dr. Randolph said: "Kansas, where the spaceship is about to land, welcome to the live broadcast!"
Amanda took a breath of cold air. He saw countless tanks and soldiers lying on the ground in the distance. This was the army he arranged there to bring back the Kryptonian spaceship. She had just received news that everything was normal a few minutes ago, and it was obviously forged.
On their corpses were dozens of muscle giants roaring to the sky.
They had claws and fangs like wild beasts, and their skin was abnormally pale.
One after another, green lines climbed over their bodies along their blood vessels, making them look like hungry ghosts.
The tanks were smashed open like walnuts, and then torn apart. Amanda could even see a monster lifting a surviving soldier into his mouth, and then chewing it non-stop amid the other's screams.
This was no longer a human being...
"Three minutes left." Randolph said, "The Kryptonian spaceship will fall into my palm."
He sighed, "You have no idea how much effort I have put in for this day. You care too much about Batman. You have wasted most of your energy on distracting Batman and ignored me. I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed."
He actually seemed a little pious: "Soon, the Kryptonian will be mine. I'm happy to try him to see if he can use venom in the same way."
"Steve!" Randolph said, "I'm so happy to try him out."
"Steve!" Randolph said, "I'm so happy to try him out and see if he can use venom in the same way ... Amanda Waller turned to Steve Trevor and shouted, "Contact Wonder Woman quickly, we need..."
But she stopped talking halfway and changed her words temporarily: "No, just take off the plane and bomb that area with bombs to kill everyone!"
"What about the Kryptonian?"
"If we get a real Kryptonian, then the bomb can't kill him."
Amanda Waller said, "Go!"
"Why? Wonder Woman is more capable of..." Steve realized the reason why Amanda did this before he finished speaking.
Once Diana's help was sought, the new Kryptonian would inevitably be exposed to Wonder Woman's vision.
Then, what they were going to do to the Kryptonian next, I'm afraid, no, it should be that they would never get the other party's approval.
But Steve still rejected the proposal to use bombing.
"We are not sure whether the Kryptonian can resist the explosion of the bomb!" He said quickly:
"Although our previous trajectory test of the spacecraft showed that it passed through the sun, the Kryptonian should have absorbed enough yellow solar energy, but all this is the result of calculations on paper!"
He said: "If our calculations are correct, then the problem is naturally not big, but if we calculate incorrectly, it is very likely to cause the death of the Kryptonian!"
"Then what do you say?" Amanda Waller asked him in a low voice: "The Red Sun Armed Forces we originally prepared for the Kryptonian have been destroyed by Dr. Randolph and his venom army."
Amanda said: "Wonder Woman can't be used, we have no choice, unless..."
Steve knew that the other party actually had the answer in his heart.
"We activate the metal man John Coburn." Steve said: "Although there are still some sequelae, John can overcome them."
Amanda nodded immediately: "Okay, I authorize you to wake up--"
But her words were interrupted again. A violent roar sounded in the conference room. The computer expert who was surrounded in the middle suddenly broke free from the handcuffs that had just been put on him. Then, in full view of everyone, his muscles collapsed his clothes, and his whole body swelled up like a balloon.
"I am... innocent!"
"Ahhhhhhhh--"
Immediately afterwards, several other people in the crowd also knelt on the ground, growing bigger in low roars.
The guards raised their energy weapons and continued to fire at the little giants that appeared, and the scene was suddenly in chaos.
...
...
...
Bane disguised himself as a plant.
Literally.
He buried himself completely in the sand, and then sensed everything that happened on the ground through the colorful ferns growing from his back and head.
He had done this before, using flowers to sense the enemy's position, but frankly speaking, this feeling is very abstract, just like the ultrasonic feedback of bats. When you have vision, this perception may be a very good aid, but when you lose your vision, this perception ability is very awkward.
After all, humans are a race that is accustomed to obtaining information through vision.
But the problem is that Bane is not a simple user of the Green of All Things. Plants have no eyes, so can't I use the Red Eyes of All Things to grow one on the plant?
This is actually a high-level application, just like another superhero "Black Orchid" who is compatible with both red and green powers, and can also make his limbs and flesh have the characteristics of plants.
After several days of tracking and various bone-breaking interrogations, Bane finally found the location of Dr. Randolph. This is definitely a long journey.
At first, he still had the leisure to break other people's bones, but later the interrogation of the tracking was too much, and he was very annoyed. Most middlemen and dealers are characters who don't cry until they see the coffin.
So in order to make the investigation more convenient, he went to the place where he hid things and brought the zombie Blake here.
With the telepathic purple-haired Blake (corpse) who forcibly read the memory, Bane's tracking efficiency was raised several times at once.
And here is the place where Dr. Randolph will be, which he got by forcibly reading the brain of a muscle man who was permanently transformed by venom.
Although the unlucky guy who has gone crazy because of the forced memory reading has no idea why the other party came to such a desert for no reason, the read memory will not lie, so Bane came here to ambush a long time ago and waited quietly.
Then he watched a large group of troops and soldiers coming here in a mighty manner, classifying this place as a military special zone, and then being beaten into small cookies by Dr. Randolph and his men.
Fortunately, he buried himself far away, and he could also dig sand underground to move his position, so no one on the two sides who beat the dog brain found him.
So Bane has been squatting beside them from just now until now, quietly observing them.
With the end of the battle, Dr. Randolph finally walked to a certain place alone.
When Bane manipulated the eyes on the plant to look up at the sky, at this time, he finally found what Dr. Randolph was waiting for.
There was a loud bang.
Dr. Randolph raised his arms and used his sleeves to block the flying sand and smoke. Then he lowered his head, stood in the desert, and clasped his hands together.
Bane saw that his hands were trembling with excitement, and he paid more attention to the spaceship.
Is that a spaceship of the orphans of Krypton?
No, it seems a little small.
Bane thought silently.
Is it a baby spaceship?
It looks a bit like it, it can't be a dog.
But no matter what it is, he can't let Dr. Randolph get it.
Dr. Randolph staggered to the spaceship that was still emitting hot smoke.
His voice was trembling: "I created a treasure in the first half of my life, his name is Bane. And in the second half of my life, you are my treasure, dear... After spending so much energy, I will finally get you!"
Bane was ready to take action.
And Dr. Randolph opened the hatch.
The next second, he was petrified on the spot.
