Chapter 126 Eden 14
However, Luthor hadn't realized the meaning of the blank expression on Clark's face, and he talked about his great achievements since he came to this universe.
"You may not know the concept of finding tens of thousands of metropolitans in the entire galaxy in a year, and bringing them to live on a cruiser." He boasted with a serious expression, "I also have to deal with the ubiquitous extinction hunters, but in most cases, they will not be as difficult to deal with as they are today, at least not in such a large number."
He snorted softly, with a haughty expression on his face: "Can't beat the scavenger team, can't you beat the stinky fish and rotten shrimp?"
Clark: "...uh, Lex."
Luther glanced at him: "?"
"About the scavenger team... I have something to say." Clark said, "Actually, when I just woke up today, it seemed to be in the gestalt...but I escaped smoothly."
There was a blankness in Luthor's expression, which made the bald man look a little funny.
"You... in the gestalt?" he repeated.
Clark nodded.
Luther: "..."
save!
What kind of horror story is this!
A scavenger squad full of top cyborg fighters is scary enough, and Superman almost joins the Gestalt side!
Fortunately, this stupid Kryptonian escaped, otherwise the universe would be in great trouble!
The ups and downs of life are just that!
"Are you sure the gestalt isn't bothering you anymore?" Luther asked nervously.
Clark nodded: "I'm sure, I broke their machine when I came out."
Luther breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he heard Clark add: "So, it looks like they sent a scavenger squad to hunt me down."
Luther: ……………
Luther swallowed half a bottle of Suxiao Jiuxin Pills: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Clark: "Hey, don't get excited, things have to be said one by one!"
"It should be fine." Luther paced back and forth a little anxiously, "It should be fine, we have already left the danger zone."
"Danger zone?"
"Follow me." Luthor stood in front of the star map with a serious face, showing the explored area of the entire star sea in front of Clark.
"We were at this position just now, and there are some exterminator production planets all over here, and the corpse factory you were born in is one of them. But I have to say, those foods can replenish a lot of energy, and we went there to snatch some of the canned food "He said, "This is very dangerous, after all, it is already the territory of the Exterminator, but we are at the end of our rope, so we have to take the risk."
Clark felt a little nauseous: "Do you know what that thing is made of?"
Luther snorted softly: "Of course I know the corpse of their enemy."
"Then you still eat?" Clark frowned.
When there is a conflict between survival and morality, no one is qualified to criticize those who choose the former, but... Is the situation of the people on earth already critical to this extent?
Luther gave him a weird look: "Of course not, we sell these nutritious cans for some coins, and then buy what we need. Food is always a hard currency, Kryptonians-don't let Excessive morality affects survival."
Clark: "..."
"We activated the jump engine at this place and jumped to this location." Luthor pointed to the red dot on the star map, "This place is already far away from the Exterminator's territory. It stands to reason that we should be safer. After this We have entered the Federation's sphere of influence, and although the Exterminator is at war with the Federation, they will not easily cross the border."
"Federation?" Clark wondered again.
Luther showed an expression of looking at a kindergarten baby, but still explained: "If these small countries on the star map had not been united, they would have all been connected to the gestalt."
Clark: ...makes sense.
"So, at least we are safer now... For the time being." Luther said, he looked out the porthole at the boundless sea of stars and sighed.
He still doesn't understand why this collective crossing happened suddenly, and he can't find any clues to go back.
Such a high-risk environment, surrounded by aliens who are so powerful that they cannot be matched, is an unimaginably terrifying world for Luthor.
In contrast, Kryptonians are so innocent and cute.
He looked out the porthole, still feeling emotional in his heart, when suddenly he saw a flash of light not far away.
The light flashed like a pulse, but it made Luthor frown.
"Hyperspace jump..." he whispered, "The energy fluctuation is so small?"
Clark stepped forward and looked out the porthole. His eyesight was good enough for him to see what was happening in the distance.
It was a transport ship.
In front of the transport ship, he saw a familiar figure.
It looks like a child-like figure quietly suspended in the universe, his whole body is covered by a black cloak, and there is an endless galaxy behind him.He stood there quietly, his eyes hidden under the cloak looked at Tomorrow from afar.
With just such a glance, Clark felt a strong palpitation.
It was as if the child was looking at him from a long distance away.I don't know if it was Clark's illusion, but he vaguely felt that the child's eyes were not friendly.
Moreover, he had a strong premonition——
That kid is Ian.
"It's weird, the radar system didn't detect anything." Luthor frowned while looking at the big screen in the command room.
The radar system failed to detect it?
Clark was slightly taken aback.It suddenly occurred to him that Ian was the same when he was in the metropolis.His presence was so silent that even Clark couldn't feel his presence, couldn't hear his heartbeat and breathing.
So... is that really Ian? !
A look of surprise appeared in Clark's eyes, but he soon remembered that Ian seemed to have something to do with Gestalt's medical team.
"That's—" Luthor finally vaguely saw the figure in the constantly refreshing images, "Is that a child?"
It was clearly a humanoid.
But Luther has lived in the entire star field for more than a year, and has never heard of a humanoid being able to suspend in the cosmic environment so easily without wearing any protection, and sustain it for such a long time .Of course, the weird ones I've seen on Earth before don't count.
This kind of physical strength is not like a flesh and blood body, but like——
"Cyborg kid?" Luther frowned slightly.
"Cyborg?" Clark asked.
"A kind of human clone that has been produced indefinitely, and is generally only used for military consumption." Luthor said, crossing his chest, with some doubts in his eyes, "It's strange, why would someone set the appearance of a biochemical human? To be a child?"
At least in the alliance, this is absolutely forbidden, even for couples who are infertile to apply.
The cyborgs can only be used for military consumption, mainly in the army, and cyborgs of other arms are also relatively rare.
Based on this background, the scene in front of me is simply unimaginable.
"I think... I might know him." Clark said, he turned his head and said to Luthor who was standing on the podium, "Lex, please open the hatch, I'll go find him."
"You know him?" Luther was taken aback for a moment, "...Another Kryptonian?"
"No." Clark shook his head.
Luther frowned and glanced at Clark, then at the black figure, and suddenly the corner of his eye twitched: "...Little Black Man."
Clark: "How do you know that!"
After finishing speaking, Clark realized that he had asked a silly question. The story of the little black man fighting the giraffe in the zoo had already been spread by the newspapers. As an expert in identifying popular superhumans on the Internet, Lu How could se not pay attention to the little black man?
"Looks like I guessed it right." Luther snorted softly, "I've given you permission, and the hatch will automatically open. Take this—"
He tossed Superman a communicator, "Use this to contact me."
"Thank you, Lex." Clark took the communicator and said sincerely.
……
Clark quickly left the Tomorrow and flew to Ian who was standing far away in the void.
He looked at Ian, and suddenly remembered how he looked when he first saw him.At that time, little Ian fell from the sky, looking at him with those strange and coquettish rainbow eyes, his face was expressionless, but he was as ignorant as a piece of white paper.
However, as a hunter, he quickly refreshed Clark's perception of him - the rats who were frightened by his breath and died on the spot, and the animals in the Fortress of Solitude who were stimulated to react, All this shows that this child is definitely not as ignorant and ignorant as he has shown.
At this moment, Clark finally understood why the animals were so frightened.
Because at this moment, he also felt——
When Ian was locked in the eyes of Ian who was wearing a black robe and hiding in the shadow of the dark void, he felt a terrible sense of oppression that made his spine shudder and instinctively wanted to turn around and run away.
He felt as if he was suddenly watched by the god of death, which almost made people lose all the courage to resist. Clark paused instinctively, and his heart almost missed a beat.
He even felt his body twitch for a moment, as if trembling.
He forced himself to recover from the influence of this coercion, and said aloud: "Ian! It's me, Clark!"
"..." Ian remained motionless.
The hatch of the transport ship behind him opened, and in a blink of an eye, three adults in black appeared behind him.
The coercion doubled in an instant, and Clark's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Killing intent—the pure killing intent surged in the air, flooding his mouth and nose like a tide of blood, almost suffocating him.
Luther, who was standing behind the podium and observing all this closely, suddenly shrank his pupils——
He didn't know Ian, but he knew the three men in black standing behind Ian, who seemed to be headed by him.Such a shape, such a dress, such a terrifying sense of oppression——
"Scavenger team...!" Luther said in a low voice.
and so--
Therefore, the so-called little black man standing in the front with a child's figure is the captain of the scavenger team who is said to have assembled almost all the highest technology of biochemical people in Gestalt, and was born to hunt and kill abnormal sub-individuals! !
The reason why no one knows what he looks like is because no one has ever left alive after seeing him!
In Clark's ears, Luther's voice suddenly sounded anxiously. He had never heard this big bald man who had always been strategizing speak in such a tone:
"Superman, retreat quickly!!"
