Chapter 203 Then Give Them A Hero

Lynn and Constantine's plan hasn't fully worked out yet. Whether they can find anyone, whether they can do what they want to do, let alone, in the metropolis, in a super-large, super-luxury, cutting-edge laboratory , an event about the seizure of power is taking place.

"I told you! It can't be done!"

An old man with a white beard and white coat and glasses excitedly slapped the table and glared at a big bald man with no expression on his face: "It doesn't matter money or rights, this will be a technology that can benefit mankind! You can't put it Use it for your dirty purposes!"

The old man pointed to the researchers coming and going outside his office, pointed to the lines of data flashing rapidly on several large screens outside, and pointed to the experimental subjects who were stored in the transparent life-support chambers, with human shapes faintly visible, and screamed horribly. The voice contained pleading and trembling: "You... look at these things, they could have been a milestone in biomedicine, they could have been a great attempt for human beings to explore the seabed and the starry sky! Explore the future...

You can't do that...please...

Mister Lex..."

The old man was seven or eighty years old, and he knelt there with a bang, crying from threats to prayers, just trying to impress the person sitting opposite him and shake his mind a little.

Unfortunately, this doesn't do anything.

Lex Luthor.One of the biggest oligarchs in Metropolis, billionaire, genius, high IQ, social activist, great inventor, and... human supremacist.

As a born rich man, Luthor lived in a huge mansion and grew up surrounded by endless care and praise.

To a certain extent, this has long been the character of Luthor's arrogant and arrogant personality.

On the one hand, Luthor has always believed that human beings are the best of all creatures.And he himself is the best of all human beings.

On the other hand, Luthor is indeed constantly proving this point with various actions.

He inherited the already huge family business, and since he was still in college, he has shown a strong business acumen, not only steadily defeating all the competitors of the Lex Group, but also in the process, Also gradually completed the absolute control of the Lex Group.

This is something even Bruce Wayne next door failed to do.

After becoming the head of an oligarchic enterprise and becoming the favored son of business, Luthor was not satisfied with this. He also completed the studies that he had given up because of inheriting the family business, and surpassed the standard. After graduation, he won more than one professional doctorate title.

In addition, Luther has made extraordinary achievements in various fields, such as fine arts, chemistry, mechanical materials, physics, humanities, sociology...etc.

His wisdom not only armed his mind, but also armed his body and everything around him.

Lex Luthor, definitely deserves to call himself one of the most successful humans on Earth.

And he has always regarded himself as the smartest and most intelligent earthling.

It can be said that apart from inheriting the hair loss inherited from the family and becoming a bald Wu Ke, it is indeed difficult for Luthor to find any shortcomings.

He thought it was almost perfect.

Such views, along with Luther's career, have always filled the mouths and hearts of everyone who knew him, including Luther himself.

And as Luther grows older, his knowledge, the knowledge he has acquired, the wealth he has accumulated, his reputation...these things will only increase, more and more...

But, of course, life doesn't stay the same.

The same is true of fate.

More than a year ago, in the Metropolis.Metropolis of Lex Luthor.

Suddenly one, the so-called city hero, appeared.

Shocked.

His appearance was so sudden, so unexpected, and extremely surprising.

When the life from outside the sky, the General Zod who drove the huge spaceship, came to the earth in an extremely powerful posture, outside the atmosphere, and blatantly shouted to the whole world, what Luthor had always insisted on, his belief, appeared There was a crack.

Life outside the universe, in the universe, it turns out that the earth is never alone.

Moreover, they are more powerful, have more advanced technology, and older civilizations.

In the face of this unfriendly contact with the third type of civilization, the abilities displayed by the people on earth are really embarrassing.

Earthlings can't do anything.

Let alone resisting, they can't even communicate with each other.

Earthlings, a crushing defeat.

Among them, of course, is the powerful and proud Mr. Lex Luthor.

On the day he heard General Zod shouting from the TV, Luther smashed not just a TV, but a house.

If this failure, this setback, is a setback shared by all mankind, then Luthor will have a reason to comfort himself, a reason to stand up again.

However, when the guy called Superman actually appeared, Luthor felt completely defeated.

This crisis, which is enough to destroy human beings and the earth, was really, really solved by one person, with his own strength, single-handedly.

alone.

He is only one person!
The unprecedented frustration almost broke Luther.

From that day on, Luthor, who had already had no desires, suddenly burst out with a strong "combat power".

He never cared about the so-called urban heroes before, and only regarded those people as self-deceiving clowns and actors. Luthor, who was full of contempt in his heart, began to face up to and value these guys.

He discovered many, many things that he never knew before.

It turns out that human beings can control some magical, anti-physical energy.

It turns out that humans can run so fast.

It turns out that humans can live forever.

It turns out that human beings can co-exist with machines and electronic information.

It turns out... human beings still have so much untapped potential!

Luther admitted that he was envious, he was terribly jealous.

With these strange abilities, why should he favor those idiots and trash, but not him, the smartest person on earth.

And, why, why the most powerful one on Earth right now is not Lex Luthor, but an alien! !
Greed and fear, twins.

Luthor is afraid of Superman's power to destroy the earth by himself, and he also envies and greedily wants to become such a person on earth.

As a human supremacist, as the smartest and most powerful individual in human society, Lex Luthor felt that he had the responsibility to drive that shameless alien out of this planet and end his myth!
It was precisely because of this idea that after this idea appeared, Luthor started to move vigorously.

First, he used the influence brought by his status to crazily oppose Superman's legalized status on Earth, as well as all actions, propositions, and deeds.

In this regard, he and some of the top figures hit it off in terms of views, and quickly became partners, and cooperated in unknown dark corners.

Superman worked hard in the metropolis. He was scolded by his boss for contributing to GDP during the day, and he was opposed and resisted by the people when he went on a mission to protect civilians at night. Among them, the Lex Group made a lot of money.

Of course that was what Luther meant.

Then, Luthor couldn't wait to set up a weapon department belonging to the Rex Group, and at the same time invested in a large number of archaeological teams, expedition teams, paleontology research, and various mysticism branches.

Under the premise that the Lex Group was almost privatized by Luthor, and the entire company was his one word, these projects that seemed to be throwing money for nothing directly bypassed the general meeting of shareholders, and they were established one after another without any hindrance. .

Afterwards, Luthor set up a research department on special human beings and an intelligence collection department, and devoted a lot of effort to personally serve as the director of this department.

After collecting a large amount of useful and real intelligence information, Luthor established this multi-department laboratory that swallowed hundreds of millions of dollars every month.

At the very beginning, this laboratory, which integrated a large number of categories, was really losing money crazily and could not see any useful output.

A lot of money has been invested in it, a lot of top scientific researchers are wasted here, a lot of instruments and equipment are idling, but nothing useful can be produced.

At least in Luthor's eyes, he didn't see anything useful to his goal of getting rid of Superman.

Until one day, those who have been cooperating with him, the upper class, sent a representative to discuss cooperation with him.

That representative, who had never appeared in previous meetings, was a newcomer.

woman.

Her name is Amanda.

Through Amanda's narration, it has to be said that Luther's vision has been broadened once again.

And the plan proposed by Amanda provides an excellent operating program for this crazy idling laboratory.

Luthor finally had a project worth running, and with the help of a partner.

Whether Amanda represented who or just herself, Luthor didn't care.

He only cares about whether the goal can be achieved.

[Superhuman Transformation Plan], this is a title of the document Amanda gave him.

This is the project that Luthor took over.

Using the superhuman beings mastered by Amanda's subordinates, batches of humans who can use special abilities are copied!
Needless to say, this is a crazy plan.

But, Luther loves it!

Therefore, in the following all the time, the entire laboratory was almost acting for this goal and operating for this project.

Through the gene fragments and other things provided by Amanda's superpowers, Luthor started his own superpower legion manufacturing plan.

At the same time, he was also secretly collecting various information about other superheroes and villains scattered around the world.

Teams of private armed forces appear in various regions. As long as there is news that there have been superhumans in a certain place, and there are signs of superhumans fighting, Luthor's men will always go to that place and collect everything. things that can be collected.

Dripping blood, fragments of clothes, all kinds of data on various damages caused by the battle, even some burned ashes, a knocked out tooth... Some are not, so as to make sure that there is no mistake, no let go.

With the support of Luthor's amazing willpower and financial resources, and with the help of Amanda and the great people she represents, they have contributed to the flames and spared no effort.

Luther's laboratory finally produced results.

They successfully "manufactured" a batch of super replicators whose ability is not very stable, whose lifespan is not very long, and whose status is not easy to grasp.

Rather than saying that these created superhumans are replicants, it is better to say that they are inferior clones, super soldiers who only have the meaning of cannon fodder.

However, this at least allowed Luthor to see the hope of success, allowing him to see the beginning of a new world that was gradually taking shape!
Therefore, Luther decisively chose to specialize in this area of ​​business and cut off all other projects.

This is why the old professor who is in charge of the [Quick Healing] project and has seen some results is so sad.

For those research results, if you give him a few more years, give him hundreds of millions of funds, and give him...

There is definitely hope for success!
The old professor believes that the formation of this technology will definitely benefit mankind. Even if Luthor is unwilling to disclose this technology, Luthor can at least make money by virtue of the effects of regeneration of severed limbs.

Are you not a capitalist!You don't like anything else, how can you not like money! !
The old professor had no idea what kind of great plan and goal Luthor had hidden in his heart, what kind of great cause he wanted to accomplish, and he abandoned such an achievement like a shoestring.

He only knows that he has signed the contract, all his experimental data and all the experimental equipment, samples, venues, assistants...

All belong to the Lex Group.

Luther didn't want to, and no one else could do anything about it.

It's a really sad story.

…………

The old professor's crying didn't move Luthor's heart with a firm purpose.

Experimental equipment, materials, data...all sealed up.

All the power is concentrated on this direction that has already begun to take shape and has seen results.

Since it can be copied to clones, sooner or later it will be able to be copied to others.

Since clones can live for three days, sooner or later they can live for three months, three years, or 30 years.

Since the ability to control water, the ability to transform, and the ability to invisibly be copied, sooner or later all other abilities will be able to be copied!
Superman... Lynn... The Flash... Wonder Woman...

One name after another flashed in Luthor's mind. These were all cloned individuals that failed in the laboratory.

Yes, they didn't even set up a project, and Superman didn't leave anything that could be studied at any time and any place.

It's disgusting and shameless!
"Sooner or later... sooner or later!"

Luther pinched the armrest of the seat and creaked.

He watched the scrolling information of various physical skills on the screen linked to a certain life support cabin, and gradually let go of his hands, with a smile on his face.

"Since humans want a hero, since humans need some heroes, then I will give you heroes!

Superman... hum.You're not the only one anymore, you're not needed forever..."
