The two men walked slowly along the ridge of the field. Anthony tactfully fell behind a few steps to give the farmer and the big boss space to talk.
In the distance, Dio's voice could be heard faintly:
"It's corn, idiot. Don't you even know what it is?"
Then little Luther timidly said, "I, I just haven't seen it growing in the ground."
Locke held his forehead and sighed. He was about to go over to help, but was stopped by Lionel: "Let the children get along with each other. Lex needs to learn how to deal with different types of people."
The sun gradually became hotter, and the chirping of cicadas could be heard from the wheat fields.
An arc flashed in the sky.
-
In the cornfield, the sunlight shines through the green leaves, casting mottled shadows.
Lex Luthor followed Dio cautiously, his fingers gently touching the ears of corn, his eyes shining with curiosity.
"Are these really edible?" he asked in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Dio glanced back at him impatiently. "What else? Do you think they grow in the ground just to look good?"
Lex pushed up his glasses, feeling a little embarrassed. "I've only ever seen husked corn in the kitchen."
"Tsk." Dio rolled his eyes. "What kind of life do you young masters usually lead?"
Lex opened his mouth, as if wanting to explain something, but in the end he just lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of his clothes.
Seeing this, Dio didn't bother asking any more questions.
He now felt that this timid rich young man was even more boring than Clark.
At least the big idiot could still play with him and drive the tractor.
At this moment, Lex suddenly let out a terrified scream: "Dio! Why is there a person over there?!"
Dio turned around impatiently: "That's a scarecrow, idiot."
His voice stopped abruptly.
Deep in the cornfield, there was indeed a figure tied to a cross-shaped wooden frame.
The man had his head lowered and his upper body naked, as if he was unconscious.
Dio's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly recognized it -
This is one of the traditional pranks at the town's harvest festival.
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a pour."
"But Dio!" Lex's voice suddenly became more terrified, "Something is falling from the sky!"
"Drop something?"
Dio looked up at the sky, his expression instantly dull.
On the azure sky, dozens of scarlet arcs streaked across the sky like meteors, and one of them was falling towards their location at an alarming speed!
"Run! Lex!" Dio grabbed little Luther's wrist and pulled him out of the field.
"But, but that person."
Lex turned around and pointed at the young man tied to the cross.
“That person has nothing to do with us.”
[Dior, this is your golden spirit.]
"."
Thinking of Locke's words, Dio gritted his teeth and quickly estimated the distance and time.
If we use the "world", we might still be able to make it.
"Leave now!"
He let go of Lex's hand and pointed in the direction of the ridge. "Run along that road and don't look back! I'm going to save that unfortunate guy!"
"Dio."
Lex wanted to say something, but the blond boy in front of him had already rushed into the depths of the cornfield like a gust of wind.
Standing there, little Luther's face was pale.
He looked at the red track that was getting closer and closer, then looked in the direction where Dio disappeared. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and chased after him!
The corn leaves scratched my cheeks, causing a slight sting.
Dio summoned the "world" to carry him and ran at full speed in the cornfield.
"Faster."
He muttered to himself that he was only a few steps away from the tied young man.
Arrived!
Dio's face lit up with joy, and his stand suddenly accelerated again, finally rushing to the cross.
"The World" shattered the ropes that bound the young man with a single punch, and then caught his limp body.
but
Dio's speed still seems a little slow?
The earth began to tremble violently, and a scorching air wave hit from behind.
He only had time to protect the "world" in front of him before he was blown away by the shock wave!
But in the last moment of unconsciousness.
Dio vaguely saw a purple figure rushing towards him, and seemed to be shouting something.
Then, the world fell into darkness.
Chapter 16 Radioactive Meteorites
Standing by the ridge of the field.
Locke and Lionel were having a great discussion about the purchase price of oats this year.
Anthony was standing by with a calculator, occasionally interjecting his half-baked market analysis.
"Tell the truth, Mr. Locke."
Lionel pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke with a hint of admiration. "For someone as insightful as you, working on a farm is a real waste of talent. Our Luther Group also has a number of management projects in the field of agricultural technology. I wonder if you'd be interested."
"Thank you for your kindness." Locke interrupted with a smile, his eyes softening as he glanced at the golden wheat fields in the distance. "When I was younger, I would have agreed without hesitation. But now..."
“I discovered something more important than career success.”
Hearing this, Lionel was slightly startled, then smiled knowingly: "I am abrupt."
"Mr. Anthony." He winked at Anthony, "Bring me the subscription form. Mr. Locke, if you don't mind, we can do it now..."
"of course can."
Locke stretched out his hand to take out a pen from his front pocket, and his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the sky behind Lionel.
There were several red arcs crossing the azure sky.
"meteor?"
Locke murmured subconsciously, somewhat surprised. How could this happen at this time?!
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply and his face turned pale in an instant.
At this moment, Locke didn't even have time to explain. He pushed Lionel away and ran towards the cornfield.
The movement was so sudden that the documents in Anthony's hands were knocked to the ground.
Lionel stumbled a few steps before he stood firm. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard the bodyguards behind him exclaim: "Sir! That is—"
The entrepreneur turned around abruptly and looked in the direction the bodyguard pointed.
Above the sky, a red track was swooping down towards the farmland at an astonishing speed!
"Is it a meteorite?!"
"F***!" his voice almost cracked. "Go get Lex out here! Now!"
The bodyguards hesitated for a moment, but as they were well-trained, they immediately split into two teams.
A team escorted Lionel to a safe area.
The other team's words.
Then he slowly circled outside the cornfield.
A few thousand dollars a month, what's the point of playing with your life?
In contrast, Locke, the father, was extremely anxious. He ran wildly in the cornfield, and the thick stalks hit his face, leaving tiny blood marks.
But he didn't care about these things at all, his mind was full of Dio's figure.
"Star Platinum!"
A purple stand appeared behind him and knocked down all the corn stalks blocking his way according to his will.
"Dior!"
His cries echoed through the cornfield.
Can.
Can't find it.
The cornfield is really too big.
Locke's heart was bleeding at this moment. Why on earth did he buy such a large piece of land in the first place?!
He searched and searched until
The arc in the sky finally reached its end not far from Locke.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion came from a distance, followed by the familiar flames shooting into the sky and a heat wave hitting the face.
His heart almost stopped beating, and Locke rushed towards the explosion like mad.
When he finally broke out of the corn bush, the scene before him almost froze his blood:
A charred pit several meters in diameter was still emitting thick smoke, and the surrounding corn stalks were flattened by the shock wave, forming a radial ruin.
And at the farthest point from the pit, a thin figure was kneeling on the ground, holding something in his arms.
"Lex!"
Locke rushed forward and saw clearly that the person in little Luther's arms was the unconscious Dio.
The boy's blond hair was covered in dirt, and there was a jarring wound next to his collarbone.
"Fa, what happened?"
Locke knelt on one knee and checked his son's injuries tremblingly.
"Dio he saved that man and then..."
Following the direction of little Luther's finger, Locke saw a young man with his upper body naked sitting on the ground not far away, with a look of confusion and fear on his face.
"Then."
A piece of his glasses was broken, and Lex's face was covered with tears and dust. Even his blond hair, which was not thick to begin with, began to fall out. He trembled and said:
"A meteorite fell."
"I saw a rock flying towards Dio, so I tackled him, but the rock..."
"The stone still scratched Dio."
"Let's go first!" Locke picked up Dio with one hand and grabbed Lex with the other hand, "We have to leave here immediately!"
But just after he ran a few steps, he suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being pulled.
Looking back, it was the young man who was rescued by Dio.
