Chapter 36 – Absolutely impossible!
With the endless support of the Alliance, the operation went smoothly, perhaps too smoothly. The entire base was taken down without the enemy being able to organize an effective counterattack.
It was almost a breeze, as easy as strolling through a garden. The only trouble came from a few extraordinary beings.
Most of the extraordinary beings in this base came from the same laboratory, all with lightning-based abilities. Among them, three stood out, including Leng Mei. Not only did they have stronger output abilities than other extraordinary beings, but they also had the ability to teleport through electronic devices, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
Of course, there was no need for intelligence when everything was already known. Xiao Qi had already seen and marked the positions and activities of these three individuals with her clairvoyance.
One of them was caught while charging in the experimental cabin, already in a coma, which saved a lot of trouble. The other two were under the influence of Commissioner Ya's mental abilities even before the invasion, turning into realistic inflatable dolls that could be manipulated at will.
When the unfortunate head of the laboratory was caught, he was still busy with his research. However, this mad scientist seemed to be a bit absent-minded. When several guns were pointed at his head, he was still wearing a white coat and tinkering with his experimental table, impatiently saying to the special agent who came to arrest him, "Wait a moment, I'm almost done..."
And then he was subdued.
"It seems you're the leader here. At least, the leader of this place."
The base was completely under control. Commissioner Ya dragged a chair and sat in front of the head of the laboratory.
"Let's talk about your research."
The head of the laboratory in the white coat chuckled and shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing. I just find it amusing... You must be feeling very proud now, right? Thinking you've won? Do you think you've done something good? Maybe you'll get a promotion because of this?
I just... find it funny to think about how your beautiful dreams will be shattered."
Commissioner Ya raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"I guess you've found Liu Ran? The traitor? But I'm sure you don't know what his formula is for, do you?"
"Well... we only know the general idea. It's said to be a small ingredient for creating artificial extraordinary beings."
"Is that what they told you?" The head of the laboratory chuckled and laughed again, tilting his head. "Let me tell you then. Our experiment's goal is to create an all-powerful extraordinary being.
In this era, information technology has almost replaced society itself, and electricity has become the cornerstone of building a civilized society. Human work, life, economy, and warfare, the entire system cannot function without electricity.
And what we are trying to create is such an ultimate extraordinary being. All our current experiments are for the purpose of creating this perfect individual.
Once completed, he will become the god of the electric age! He will control everything related to electricity, the internet, weapons, medical resources, everything will be in his hands!"
"So, is that the purpose of the formula? To design such an ultimate extraordinary being?"
The head of the laboratory heard this and showed a strange and disdainful smile, as if he had completely lost his self-awareness as a prisoner.@@novelbin@@
"What? No. We have already achieved that goal a long time ago." He smiled and said, "That formula is just to help us control that extraordinary being. Without that formula, even we cannot make him obey.
Obviously, we haven't completed this step yet. But he has just been released from here..."
Commissioner Ya frowned. Before he could say anything else, a subordinate rushed in. "Boss! Headquarters contacted... You have to see this! It's a live broadcast from Changhong Town!"
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a huge image was projected onto the blank wall.
In an instant, the entire Changhong Town went dark.
The sudden power outage caused the signs and screens on Changhong Square to go out. All electronic devices stopped working, and a dark cloud hung over the town.
It was like the calm before a storm.
And just a few seconds later, the powered-off devices came back online simultaneously.
Every screen in the town lit up, and a distorted blue face appeared on all of them.
"Hello? Is this thing on? On? Good." The blue face smiled and said, "Good afternoon, everyone in Changhong Town. This is a small test, and also an announcement...
...From today onwards, your lives will undergo some changes. I know that in the past, there were various important figures who managed different aspects of your lives, but that's no longer the case starting today. From today onwards, everything is under my control."I am a telephone company, a television company, an internet company, and also an aviation, subway, and transportation company... Well, it's a bit troublesome to list them all. But in general, that's what I am..."
Commissioner Crow picked up the man in the white lab coat: "Is this your madman?"
"Yes. We call him 'Zero'. He never likes to obey, so we keep him locked up and use him as the base's power source."
The man in the white lab coat adjusted his glasses, revealing a smug smile.
"Obviously, he's out of control now..."
"How do we stop him?"
Commissioner Crow asked sternly. At the same time, the shadow of a crow appeared in his eyes, reflecting in the eyes of the man in the white lab coat.
"...You can't." The man in the white lab coat spoke truthfully, "This is his design concept. He is invincible. He is the master of electricity, hiding in the power grid, without even a physical body."
This novel is available on ".
Under the influence of Commissioner Crow's power, he couldn't lie, proving that what he said was the truth.
Even if this truth was hard to accept.
"He is a god who can control this era, even the strongest power can't..."
Boom!!!
The sound from the projected image interrupted him.
In that image, at the largest advertising screen in Changhong Square, a red and blue afterimage shot out, like an intercontinental missile fired from outer space. The billboard was instantly shattered, with cables and sparks flying out.
At the same second, Zero disappeared from all the screens in the town.
A ball of electric light was blasted out from the shattered screen on the square, transformed into a human shape, and bounced four times on the asphalt and sidewalk like a skipping stone, before embedding itself into a wall.
Superman floated lightly in mid-air, his red cape fluttering like a battle flag in the wind.
Seeing this scene, the man in the white lab coat was stunned on the spot.
Then his stunned expression gradually shattered, and his wide-open eyes were filled with a mad scientist's deep doubt about the whole world.
"Impossible!"
The man in the white lab coat lost his composure on the spot.
"Absolutely impossible!"
What do you think?
