Chapter 37 The Price of Crazy

The waves, cliffs, seagulls, everything that was originally natural and harmonious was broken by a huge metal fortress.

It is like a steel nail that humans have driven into the natural world, binding the worst criminals in society.

Colen, who was tied to the bed, was pushed into the interrogation room by the mechanical jailer. The blockade on his mouth was opened, and Colen was facing a transparent glass wall.

"Haha, let me guess, it's that friend who wants to see me!"

Colen looked composed, as if he was still the powerful Hermes giant.

"Eric? Yawen? Or that damn traitor Oren?"

"Oh, oh, it's not you, my dear nephew, Albert."

Seeing Colen's look, S became a little worried.

"Master, he..."

"It's okay, just let me handle it."

Albert shook his head, and said he would do it himself.

"Koren, you seem to be doing well recently. It seems that you have adapted to the good life here. I have said it before, this is your home."

Hearing Albert's young voice coming from the loudspeaker in the interrogation room, Colen couldn't help but frown.

"Of course, my good nephew, I can live this kind of life thanks to you. What's wrong? Do you regret it now?"

"I tell you, there's no use regretting it!"

"I, Koren, have made great contributions to Hermes' success today. All of this should have been mine. Since I can't have it, don't even think about taking a penny from me!"

After saying this, Colen laughed arrogantly. He needed to vent. The great setbacks in his life had already made him almost insane.

"Oh, yes, it should have been yours, Colum, but that's the fact. The God you worship thinks you're unworthy, so no one is surprised that you've ended up like this."

"Of course, I didn't come here today to argue with a stray dog ​​like you."

"Now, tell me what you did?"

Albert's tone didn't sound like he was here to negotiate, but rather like an order.

"what did I do?"

"Hahahaha, what do you mean? What thing?"

"I have done a lot in my life, much more than you have ever heard of!"

Colen looked extremely arrogant. By reading his mind, Albert could clearly sense that this old man still did not take him seriously. Until now, he believed that his success was either due to luck or that he was a puppet of another person.

S couldn't stand this rampant attitude anymore.

"Master, just let me give this old dog a good beating, and then we'll see if he will surrender!"

As S said this, he was already rubbing his hands together. Anyone who dared to insult his beloved master in front of her was simply courting death!

"Just be patient, S. I don't need him to say anything, I just need him to think about it."

Seeing Albert's rather mysterious smile, S was suddenly confused.

"Look at your arrogant look now, don't you know what stupid thing you did?"

After hearing Albert's reply, several thoughts flashed through Colen's mind.

There were two that Albert was very interested in, namely the Newland Underground Plan and the Nietzsche Incident.

Needless to say, there is no need to explain much about the Newland Underground Project. As for the Nietzsche Incident, it is about the former president of Hermes Technologies, Albert's father, Nietzsche Hermes.

He died in a car accident six months ago along with Albert's mother.

Although Albert suspected that this matter might be related to Cologne and others, he had no evidence, so he had to give up for the time being. He did not expect to have an unexpected gain today.

Before Cologne could decide what to say, Albert took the initiative.

"Tell me about your revenge plan. Don't tell me you just want to rot here."

"Albert, of course, hahahahahaha!"

Hearing that Albert came to question him ahead of time because he was afraid of his revenge, Colen immediately looked down on the young president even more.

"really."

Colen turned his thoughts to the Newland Underground Project.

Albert and Lucy's guess was correct, the nuclear bomb does exist.

"Haha, I wanted to save a little surprise for you losers, Albert. I didn't expect you to have some brains and actually be able to detect the trick I left behind."

"Haha, it doesn't hurt to tell you, because you can't do anything because it's too late!"

"Hahaha."

Albert said nothing, but S looked worried because the worst had happened and Colen was confident in his plan.

"I'll tell you something in secret. I've placed a nuclear weapon in the underground drainage center of Newland City, and it's already been activated before I left. It will explode tomorrow, and then you'll have the pleasure of watching the biggest flood of this century submerge Newland City!!!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

When talking about the climax, Colen laughed wildly.

"What a shame! I can't wait to see your desperate and terrified expressions now!"

"Albert, you can run now, run. Without Newland, without Hermes, you are nothing!"

"Master, what should we do now?"

Although Albert had said this a long time ago, S still felt extremely worried when he heard Colen admit it himself.

"Master, why don't we leave Newland now? Take this opportunity and go anywhere. S will always be with you and protect you!"

Albert could naturally feel the secretary's concern, and he gently touched her soft hair.

"We don't need to leave, we don't need to go anywhere, S, I will take care of everything, you just need to follow my orders, understand?"

"Your will, Master!"

"Well, now tell the warden that I want to take Colen away. As for the conditions, he knows his limits."

"in addition,……"

Albert paused and picked up the microphone, making sure that S and Colen in the interrogation room could hear him.

"Before you take him away, beat him up severely. Beat him to the point where he can't take care of himself. Just make sure you don't kill him. Then, tie him up in a breathable sack and put him in the helicopter's cargo hold!"

Albert's request shocked not only S but also Cologne in the interrogation room.

Where did you come from, Albert, you hooligan? How dare you take revenge on your own behalf? Aren't people like you supposed to resort to conspiracies and tricks?

"Albert, you little bastard! I will never forgive you!!!"

"Understood, Master!!"

Ignoring Colen's screams like a slaughtered pig, S bowed to Albert with a joyful expression.

S has long disliked this old man, and now that she has the opportunity authorized by Albert himself, she must seize it and give Colen an unforgettable experience!

Chapter 38: Lucy the Sewer Wanderer

In the dark and damp underground facility, Lucy did not encounter the unknown creatures again, but her detectors still detected unknown creatures approaching and moving away from her from time to time.

"It seems that these guys still have a certain amount of wisdom and know that they can't defeat me in a head-on battle."

As Lucy moved forward through the dirty and ugly sewer, she was thinking about what she might face next.

"I came here too hastily. I should have prepared more weapons."

"what!"

"A large number of heat source signals were detected ahead!"

The detector's prompt sounded in Lucy's ears, and ahead was the entrance to the drainage system's core.

Even without the detector's prompt, Lucy could feel that the temperature here was several degrees higher than the previous area.

"I hope it's not what I thought."

Lucy took out several small metal balls from her waist and threw them towards the central area.

After flying for a distance, the ball extended a pair of transparent wings and flew in the air like a hummingbird.

It was a reconnaissance drone, and Lucy shared its footage into her own view.

"Damn it, no wonder no one has come here for at least thirty years. In this situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back even if we come here."

In the image seen by the drone, the center is a metal pump-shaped object, approximately 100 meters high, connecting a large number of drainage channels.

At the same time, because it is always in automatic operation, the center constantly emits a certain amount of heat.

The wasted heat becomes a breeding ground for those unknown creatures. The honeycomb structures composed of some kind of bone material and disgusting sticky liquid are densely packed like tumors in various parts of the central nervous system, and hundreds of unknown creatures are dormant and sleeping in them.

This creepy scene reminded Lucy of the midnight theater she watched in her room late at night.

As the drone continued to climb, Lucy's brows gradually furrowed, because she had already seen that thing - a thermonuclear bomb installed in a central confidential part.

And according to the signal collection, the thing is already in an activated state. If her and Albert's guess is correct, the bomb will explode as scheduled during the astronomical tide two days later.

"I must leave here immediately and contact Albert as soon as possible. Only Hermes has the ability to send a large force to clear this area."

"Alert, large heat signatures approaching!"

"Roar!"

Following a terrifying roar, a fishy smell spread in the space, and rustling sounds were also heard from the nest in the central direction.

"No, we must evacuate immediately!"

Lucy immediately realized what was going to happen. It turned out that these creatures had been following her all the way just for this moment.

Sure enough, before Lucy could run a few steps, several blockers rushed out from the passage behind her, roaring and rushing towards their target with bared fangs and claws!

"Get out of my way!"

Lucy knew that she didn't have time to waste here, so she pulled out a single molecule wire from her sleeve, swept it in the air, and split the creature in front of her into two!

Seeing their companions die, the others did not retreat at all and charged towards Lucy fearlessly.

"No, if we continue like this, we will definitely be dragged to death here!"

Lucy gave up the attack and turned to climb the wall to gain leverage and jumped. She stepped on the creature in mid-air and escaped from the encirclement in an instant.

Without relaxing for a moment, Lucy started running. She could clearly hear the roar like the tide coming from the passage behind her.

"Run, Lucy, run!"

They ran out at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Fortunately, Lucy had saved the structural diagram of the drainage system long ago. With her powerful computing ability, she was able to calculate the shortest escape route so that she would not get lost in this intricate sewer.

Lucy climbed tirelessly, left and right, until she finally approached the surface.

"Finally, damn..."

Even though her robotic body didn't feel tired, Lucy was mentally exhausted at this moment. The high intensity of multitasking had caused her brain in the tank to be overworked.

"Crack!"

The manhole cover was opened from the inside, and Lucy, covered in mud, crawled out in a panic.

Ignoring the surprised looks of passers-by, Lucy immediately walked into the alley to contact Albert.

"Beep beep..."

"Damn it, answer the phone!"

"Hey, Lucy, any progress over there?"

Albert's lazy voice came, it didn't sound like he was going on a mission, maybe he was going on vacation.

Hearing Albert's voice, and considering her own near-death experience, Lucy's anger rose rapidly!

"you!"

"What's wrong? Everything is going well on my end. Colen admitted the existence of the bomb, and I have also thought of a plan to approach it. Have you found the exact location?"

Suppressing her anger, Lucy said in a cold tone: "When you come back, go to Research Institute Zero immediately. I will wait for you there. We have made an important discovery, but it may not be clear to explain now. We must talk in person."

"Okay, don't worry."
